Old Billy wore his formal outfit that he hadn't worn for nearly five years early in the morning and asked his wife to tie him a bow tie.

"Is it necessary to be so formal?" My wife muttered, still in her hands.

"Of course it has to be formal!" Old Billy widened his eyes, "This time the children of our mine town come back, I, the mayor, cannot represent the whole town, please welcome me?"

This bow tie has been worn for too long. Old Billy still remembers that the last time he wore it was when he went to Baron Castle for dinner a few years ago, and it was so formal.

Holding the discomfort all over his body, Old Billy straightened his waist and walked out. His home was in the center of the town. He now needs to go to the entrance of the town and the whole town to wait for the men in the mine town who returned from joining the army.

In the early morning, before the frost was completely gone, Mining Town had become very lively, several times more lively than last year's Beer Festival.

"Old Billy!" An old man from Mining Town greeted him with a smile.

This is just an ordinary old town citizen. As for why he can call his name by Billy, he can only say that the simple town citizen does not pay so much attention to it.

Old Billy was also used to dealing with his townspeople like this, which made him think that his governance was close to the civilians.

Although he is a civilian himself.

There are only two nobles in Kaidochi's tribe, namely the Baron Kaidochi and the Knight Will.

"Hello, Hancock!" Old Billy responded with a smile. "How are the crops in the fields looking like this time?"

Spring is approaching, and the food prices have risen again at the end of the year. The villagers of Minshan Town must plant something in winter to fill their stomachs.

"Don't mention it! The several acres of potatoes planted will be bitten by guinea pigs!" the old man cursed with a smile.

"Then you have to go to Darwin's house in the town to buy some rat poison." Old Billy continued, and then walked towards the entrance of the village.

Darwin is currently the largest grocery store merchant in Mining Town and is also a distant relative of Old Billy.

"I'm going to drink the Northwest Wind when I come to him for rat poison." Hancock muttered. Darwin's stinginess and black heart were famous in Mining Town. Where did Hancock get so much money to be the sucker?

Of course, Old Billy didn't hear Hancock's moaning, and he smiled and greeted his townspeople.

At 10 a.m., just as the frost fell, almost all the civilians who could come from under the jurisdiction of Mine Town came. At this time, the small Mine Town actually gathered nearly a thousand people.

Fortunately, there is a wide square in the town, and many people ran directly to the entrance of the town to wait, which gave the residents a place to settle down.

Inspector Billy stretched his neck and looked out on the road outside the town.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?" Old Billy said strangely. Yesterday he received a letter from the flying pigeon from the Baron's territory and the soldiers who returned to the Mining Town should have arrived today.

"Will there be something delayed?" said Aunt Mary, who was standing next to Old Billy.

Not only Aunt Mary stood next to the town elder Billy, but the families of the four squadron leaders of the Mining Town were standing beside him at this time. Although Old Billy was old, she was not old and won over the four upstart families in the town, and she did this with ease.

"It's impossible. Haven't the battle been finished? What else can I do?" Old Billy couldn't figure it out.

"Wait a little longer, maybe it's not too soon." A middle-aged woman next to her said, this was the wife of Captain Carl.

"Yes, don't worry, wait a little longer." Old Billy agreed.

Until noon, the townspeople waiting outside the town shrank a lot, and most of them went back to have a meal, but the road was still endlessly flat.

Old Locke leaned against a dead tree at the entrance of the town and chewed the white bread given by the mayor just now.

There was a young man next to him very close to him. He knew this young man, the second child of the Yoshak family, who had originally made a blacksmith in the town. When his family Locke joined the army, it was the weapon this young man made for him.

"Hey, um... young man, don't you need to take care of the blacksmith shop at home? Are you here to wait for your father?" Old Locke had nothing to say. He wanted to call the young man's name just now, but when he said that, he actually forgot the name of this man.

"Yes, uncle, I'll wait for my father." The young man nodded politely and continued, "My brother is here in the blacksmith shop."

The old and the young started chatting like this. The young man saw that he was not a few years older than Locke. As the old Locke chatted, he seemed to remember the past when Locke stood in front of him and talked to him like this, even holding him in his back.

The chatting that was neither salty nor indifferent made Old Locke miss his son, his only bloodline even more.

"Yes, your shovel is of good quality. I bought it back then and still use it..." Old Locke nodded and was in line with something, and found that the young man had no longer paid attention to him, but turned around and stared at the road in the distance.

Not only this young man, Old Locke found that everyone around him looked out at the direction of the road outside the town.

With a 'knock' in his heart, Old Locke guessed something and turned his head to look.

On the horizon of Zhenwai Road, a horse team appeared, followed by the infantry of the brigade.

Although I haven't seen my son for six years, Old Locke stared at the leading knight at a glance. The strange feeling of bloodlines made Old Locke sure that it was his son, Locke.

Locke was very depressed because they should have arrived at Mining Town in the morning, but they went in the wrong direction and made a big circle. Finally, they met with the infantry and their uncle Yoshake and came back together.

However, this depression disappeared the moment Locke saw his relatives.

All the soldiers rushed to their relatives outside the town like wind, especially the infantry, who ran faster than their cavalrymen. The villagers of Mining Town were also excited and walked towards the soldiers' team, looking for their children, husbands, and brothers.

Locke was wearing bright yellow armor that was very different from other soldiers, holding the long sword around his waist, riding on the horse, slowly walking to his parents and sister...

Today's mining town is destined to be a lively day.

In the evening, a grand bonfire party was held in the center of the town. After not seeing relatives for several years, all the soldiers put down their indifferent masks on the battlefield. They were a little excited and even hugged their relatives and cried bitterly on the spot.

"Little Locke is already so big in the blink of an eye." Aunt Mary smiled. Her family was close to Old Locke's family.

Locke touched his hair awkwardly. He had been furious about Aunt Mary when he was a child, and this village is famously stingy.

Hans and Hank were not far away at this time. Hans was chatting with his father, while Hank was getting together with Kane and muttering something.

"Look, I'm right, Brother Locke's sister is a rare beauty in the village!" Hank patted his chest and pointed at Leah not far away and introduced to Kane, as if introducing his sister.

Lea, who was standing quietly aside, looked at her younger brother gracefully like a beautiful water lily.

Because Kane had no choice but to return to Kaidozi this time, he was forced to go back to Mining Town by Locke and Hans. As brothers, Locke and Hans also wanted to make Kane feel the warmth of home, and their home is Kane's home.

But at this time, Kane hadn't felt the warmth of his home yet. His soul had been hooked up and his eyes were looking at Leah without turning for a moment.

Hank also discovered something wrong with Kane, "Brother, no, you really like it?" Hank has been with Kane for several months. When did he see Kane show such an expression, and shouted in surprise.

"Shut up!" Kane covered Hank's mouth, pulled him aside, and asked Leah carefully.

"Sister Leah, she is a very virtuous woman, and she should be the most beautiful person in our village." Hank said roughly.

"What about her personality? What is her personality?" Kane asked.

Hank found that Kane's serious expression didn't seem to be a joke, "Brother, go and ask Brother Rock, he must know his sister best." Hank hurriedly ran away. He had too many friends with Kane than his master and apprentice.

It’s not that he was unwilling to help Kane provide information, but that he knew that the beautiful neighbor, Leah, had rejected countless families' proposals. One was that he didn’t want Kane to hit a wall, and the other was that he didn’t want to bother Leah.

As soon as Hank ran away, Kane could only look at Leah from a distance and be foolish, "Brother Locke is not handsome, how can his sister be so beautiful?" Kane was very moved.

Fortunately, Locke didn't hear this, otherwise he would have been covered in his head.

On the other side, Yoshak was standing with the town elder Billy to greet him. One was the most official in the town, and the other was the most prestigious soldier now. The war was over, and the cooperation between these two people would be indispensable in the mining town in the future.

Carl was with his wife. From her usual chat, Locke learned that Uncle Carl and his wife had no children, but the couple had always had a good relationship. Before joining the army, Uncle Carl was a hunter in the town, and his wife was just an ordinary peasant woman.

Uncle Carl lost an arm on the battlefield, and it was not reported back to the town before. He wanted to avoid his wife's worries when she found out. Now that the person is back, nothing can be covered up. Uncle Carl's wife just cried and held Uncle Carl's sleeve without arms tightly.

The bonfire party at night was very lively. Every household spontaneously took out their own food to reward the soldiers who returned from the army. The soldiers also took out various specialties they brought back along the way. There were many foods in Charlotte that were very different from Fostertan. The townspeo were very curious about this kind of food that they had never eaten.

In addition, almost every soldier who came back was carrying a few kilograms of meat around his waist. Almost every soldier who had been in the army for more than two years could master hunting skills. There were many mountains and forests in Del Province. Although it was still winter, there were many animals coming out for food in early spring. If you were careful, you would always get something.

With meat and bread, how can I lack wine? In addition to the soldiers who kept it privately, Old Billy also brought out all the remaining wines from last year's Oktoberfest, as if he wanted to keep the people of the town from getting drunk.

Of course this is impossible.

It was not until late at night that the heat of returning home gradually faded. Taking advantage of the night, every household would either return to their own villages or go to the town to deal with it for one night, and wait until the next day before going home.

"A week of repair, gather in the town square on the eighth day!" After Uncle Yoshak issued an order, he no longer cared about the scattered soldiers.

Although the war ended, the soldiers were unable to easily get rid of their armor and return to the field. There were many other tasks that belonged to them.
