Chapter 95: Expedition (II)
With the sound of a horn, the people who were still saying goodbye to their relatives also withdrew from the army at this time and returned to the gate of the imperial capital.
It stands to reason that His Majesty the King and the Archbishop were present at every expedition, but this time, His Majesty was too ill to come in person, so he asked his Chancellor of the Exchequer to bring a message in his place.
After the trumpet sounded, the Chancellor of the Exchequer walked to the high wall and began to read the king's farewell and blessing message.
I saw that the minister's body was bloated, standing on the city wall, like a round stone sculpture, which made Dylan want to laugh. A soldier standing beside him sheltered him from the fierce cold wind, and his originally sturdy figure was as thin as a wooden pole compared to the fat minister.
The cold wind was howling, and although the minister had tried very hard to raise his voice without losing his manners, all his words were still blown away by the cold wind, and the soldiers below could not hear the slightest sound.
After reading the extremely lengthy speech, the fat Chancellor of the Exchequer gave an awkward military salute to the soldiers below, and then nodded to Angela below, indicating that he had completed the task assigned by the king.
Angel reinstated a courtesy, then shouted, "Go!"
For a while, the loud horn of the empire's expedition and the military music of the send-off sounded.
At the same time, on the high wall west of the gate of the imperial capital, hundreds of dragon roars came, Dylan and the others looked up, but saw two hundred red-armored knights, sitting firmly on top of a black iron wurm with battle armor on their heads.
"So, is that the dragoon of your Garneman Empire?" Oscar looked shocked and envious.
"Well, I've known for a long time that the Empire has a two-hundred-man dragoon, but this is the first time I've seen it. Dylan's eyes were also full of curiosity and admiration.
Donald and Stephen were also dumbfounded at this time, with excitement and excitement in their eyes.
It is said that only those who have reached the strength of the Holy Knight are eligible to join the most special army of the empire, the Dragoons.
In order to tame these two hundred black iron wurms, the empire has spent a lot of effort and financial resources. It is rumored that the battle armor of more than 200 Black Iron Wurms alone took a full two years to create by using all the foundries in the entire Bear Helmet Town.
Because of the fit of the armor, the size of each black iron wurm armor needs to be accurately measured, and during this period, there are several casters who were bitten in half alive because they were too close to the black iron wurm.
Warcraft is Warcraft after all, and the wildness is too strong, even if it has been tamed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate the inherent beastness.
At this time, more than two hundred black iron wurms kept roaring in front of them, as if they were responding to the clarion call of the empire to go on an expedition.
After the dragoons, the huge platform in the northwest corner of the imperial capital also moved at this time. I saw that the airship workers in the imperial capital had already loaded a large number of military supplies, and more than a dozen airships slowly flew out of the port and came in the direction of here, seemingly to make peace with the army.
I only heard William Noy say: "Considering your hard training some time ago, this time we can take an airship to Warcraft Mountain. ”
As soon as these words came out, the students of the academy immediately cheered.
"Wow, that's great, I've never been on an airship!"
"It's so good, 10 days of training has really exhausted me physically and mentally, and I'm almost exhausted. ”
......
Oscar was also very excited: "I have long heard that the airships of your Garneman Empire can play a huge role in war. I originally thought it was just for transporting supplies, but I didn't expect it to be used to transport troops. ”
Dylan said with a smile: "I heard that there are not many such large airships, and they are mainly used to transport goods. This time we were lucky enough to be able to ride once, which is really rare. ”
Soon, the airship slowly landed in the open space outside the imperial capital.
At this time, the morning sun was already fiery red, and the morning light shone on the huge airship, stretching long shadows on the ground.
As they got closer, Dylan began to take a closer look at the behemoths.
I saw the huge oval-shaped airbag at the upper end, which was painted with the heraldic pattern of the Ghaneman Empire.
Underneath the airbag is a structure resembling a wooden ship, which is very large, at least fifty meters long, more than twenty meters wide, and about fifteen meters high.
On the sides of the hull, there are numerous small holes, which are supposed to be windows in the cabin. Each small window is sealed with transparent colored glass, which looks extremely exquisite.
Underneath the windows, there was a neat row of carpenters, which seemed to be used to adjust the direction of the airship's flight, and a large rudder at the tail end that resembled the tail feathers of a bird.
"Wow! This airship is too big, isn't it! When only our Gulan Empire had such an airship, then I can take the airship and go to all corners of the Violet Continent to play and see all the scenery. I'm going to see Nagomor, I'm going to see the ancient forest and the noble elves, I'm going to see the Death Swamp, and ......"
Before Oscar could finish speaking, Dylan had already slapped him on the head: "Don't dream, hurry up and get on the boat." ”
With that, Dylan took the lead and walked towards the airship.
At this time, Oscar found out that the students and tutors of the academy had begun to board the ship in turn. He hurried to catch up and came behind Dylan.
Dylan lowered his voice and said, "You can play in the army for a few days, and I will find a way to send you back to the Guran Empire at that time, don't play crazy." When I got there, I talked to a few military officials to see if I could let you stay in the barracks with peace of mind and not follow you into the mountains to make a fuss. ”
"No! I'm going to have to go in this time. I finally left the Gulan Empire, and I still have to cherish this opportunity?" Oscar is already full of yearning and expectation for life in the future, where will he obey Dylan's arrangement.
But Dylan always felt that this was very inappropriate, he originally thought that Oscar was just a freshness, and it would be okay to play in the Imperial army for a few days, but at this time, it seems that this guy is going to live on the front line of the Empire for a long time!
This is not good, absolutely not! His intuition told Dylan that this guy's identity in the Guran Empire was anything but simple, and he could never be allowed to stay in the Garneman Empire forever.
Just as he was thinking about persuasion, he heard a sharp horn sound, and the airship under his feet shook for a moment, and then began to rise slowly and steadily.
With the rise of more than a dozen huge airships, the army assembled by the empire finally began to march towards the Demon Beast Mountains.
