The military parade had yet to begin, but the people of Swamp Prefecture, merchants from other regions, and foreign guests had already arrived at the dock early. They wanted to secure the best positions to watch the parade.
Whether they were locals of Swamp Prefecture or distinguished foreign guests, none had ever seen a military parade before. This was their first time watching one, and naturally, they were filled with wonder.
The dock was crowded with people, yet everyone stood obediently in orderly rows.
Over fifteen hundred Personal Guards were there; one thousand participated in the parade, while the remaining five hundred were responsible for maintaining order in Swamp Prefecture.
At the fourth watch of the Hour of the Dragon, Zhao Yao invited members of foreign royal families to the viewing platform at the dock to observe the parade.
