Chapter 14 - Chapter 13

Samuel and Vincent stood at the gates as they watched the group enter, mounted on their horses. Laquetta's System pinged, she looked up slightly and opened the notification, which said another transmigrator was close.

Getting off her horse, she looked around the entrance grounds and they walked further after allowing their horses to be taken to the stables, the group walked to the bottom of a set of stairs where the Four Generals were waiting with amicable smiles on their faces.

Their armour reflected the faction they were in charge of, and Laquetta bowed and the rest of the group followed suit.

Laquetta observed the Great Four that was standing in front of them; they were not at each other's throats as Wang ZeTian said they would be.

"Welcome, to the Residence of the Imperial Army. We hope that you'll enjoy the activities that we have prepared for you and we hope that this experience enriches your understanding of the Imperial Army," said Lewis.

"And, we, thank you for your warm welcome."

Lewis motioned for them to follow up the stairs and into the main building; the stairs were decorated with carvings of dragons and phoenixes from marble, and at the very top, sitting on two large platforms were two lions; a female and a male, the female had a cub under its paw whilst the male had an embroidered ball underneath its paw. The steps were small but many in number, therefore making the walk up the flight of stairs easy.

When they entered the Snake Pavilion, Vincent started speaking, "This is the Snake Pavilion, this is where guests come into attendance with us, providing they come here and wait for a bit if it is urgent we would meet them within half an hour. But it is, as you can see from the length and width it is also a banquet hall. This is the Empress' second favourite area to throw celebrations and parties."

Lin XinYin soaked up the information like a sponge and so did Feng Mian; Feng Yue was getting really bored as he was a child and was amazed by the swords in scabbards that the generals were carrying and so he lunged forward and tried to grab one.

This simple action brought on a lot of frenzied and panicked reactions.

Vincent was drawing his sword and Lewis was about to kick the little guy but before the foot connected with Feng Yue, Laquetta stopped his foot with her foot and they both flew back a few meters.

Charlotte, Lisa and Feng Mian rushed over to Laquetta and Feng Yue who was safe in her arms, whilst, Lottie and Lin XinYin stood between the guys and the group behind them.

"This is like that weird scene from Bikini Bottom..." muttered Lottie.

"Wait, Spongebob?" exclaimed Vincent.

"Oh shit you, don't know what that is."

"Yes, the fuck I do. It was my whole childhood."

"Vincent?"

"Yes, holy shit. Guys we've finally found them. My God, where have you guys been??"
