Chapter 442: Viscount Bell's Worries
The winding and undulating mountain range on the left is a branch of the Hengduan Mountains, but it is the shortest and the most famous of all the branches of the Hengduan Mountains, because when the Grand Duke of Carshelf was given here, it was with the wealth of this mountain range that the province of Carsif rose, and Vermont was still just a small town at that time.
At first, it was the gems that made it rich and crazy, and those who dug up gems and became rich returned to their hometowns to squander and show off, so that more people came here, and more people who did not dig gems, and in desperation, they found a large area of fertile soil at the foot of the mountain.
Nearly thirty years of gem-induced madness were finally cut off by the dreadmilling of gem mines, but the barren mountains were now inhabited...... Villages become small towns, small towns become cities, more and more cities gradually appear in this land, there are many cities, there are also many people, and there are also many needs.
Although the gem mines were depleted, the mountain range continued to offer wealth to the people, and copper and iron ore replaced the gemstones as symbols of wealth, and the original city was given the name Blanca by the Grand Duke himself...... In the Gugiles language, it means 'city of wealth'.
On the road leading to the city of wealth, a horse-drawn carriage was galloping. The road is quite bumpy, and this city, which is famous for its wealth, and even known as the embodiment of wealth, has always had only one terrible road.
And the person sitting in the carriage at the moment is also in a terrible mood. The former financial officer of the province of Cassef had just entered the army and assumed the role of a soldier when he was notified, and then he saw an order from the Grand Duke of Casif to organize his troops to defend against the underground races that had rushed out of the Hengduan Mountains.
Although the main forces of the province of Casev fought a bloody battle, they did not stop the attack of the underground races. Now the main army has been broken up and is in the process of being defeated, some of the soldiers are still resisting, and the other part of the army has been dispersed and entered the various towns. And the enemy now seems to be reduced to zero. Now the entire northern part of the province of Casev is in a state of smoke.
Because of this, when the viscount, who had just been ordered to form a new regiment, received the order, he did not pause for a moment. He immediately rushed to Blanca.
The road is getting more and more bumpy and bumpy. Eden. Viscount Bell's mood was similarly getting worse and worse. Just now he had received a report from the magician who was accompanying him, and this report was urgently passed to him by his adjutant.
The report said. Lord Ditri, the commander of the city defense of Blanca City, had just commanded a battle on the front line, destroyed a large number of enemy forces, and were cleaning up the battlefield, and they were planning a pursuit to drive that enemy army back to the Hengduan Mountains once and for all.
Although the report did not mention a detailed battle plan, for some reason, Viscount Bell felt an inexplicable nervousness and uneasiness in his heart. Suddenly, a violent jolt shook him from his contemplation, and the carriage moved unusually slowly, simply because the ground was unimaginably broken.
In the distance, you can already see a city with high walls, and there is the famous city of Blanca, the city of wealth.
Seriously, the city of Blanca doesn't quite live up to its name, and while it has made a fortune, it's a bit of a dilapidated ...... Most of the people who lived here were miners and their families, and most of the people who were in charge of it were the children of the ruined aristocracy. People who have a little money and power will choose to buy property elsewhere.
Looking at the potholed road, Viscount Bell secretly resented, if it weren't for this terrible road, how could he spend so much time on the way back and forth?
But it's really hard to repair this road...... That would be a staggering amount of money, and no one could tell how long the road would last, and all the carts full of heavy metal and ore, even the roads made of fine iron, would have to be crushed to the ground.
Bumpy all the way, finally into the city, Blanca is a city built on the mountain, because of this, the roads in the city are also undulating, even the city walls are built according to the terrain, and in order to deal with the invasion of the underground race, the buildings in the city have been converted into small fortresses by the miners, and the place where Viscount Bell stays is one of the fortresses.
The carriage drove straight into the courtyard, and before it could come to a stop, Viscount Bell jumped from the carriage in a hurry.
Almost as if he had broken into a private house, Viscount Bell went straight to his office, and the officers standing on either side of him avoided it, they had never seen their new commander look so anxious and angry.
"Lord Ogur, what's going on?" Slamming open the door to his office, Viscount Bell asked in a voice that bordered on roaring.
"Lord Viscount, I didn't expect His Excellency Ditri to do this." An old soldier with gray hair, who was originally standing at the window, quickly straightened up and said.
"Didn't expect that? Didn't you also think that with our troops, it would not be easy to resist them, and he would actually pursue them, and he really regarded himself as the god of war? After venting his anger, Viscount Bell turned his head and asked his personal lieutenant, "Is there any latest information from the scouts?" ”
"Nope." The adjutant shook his head quickly.
Viscount Bell couldn't help frowning: "Bring me all the information you received before." ”
"Yes." The adjutant hurriedly took a thick stack of Wen Jiàn and placed it in front of him.
Viscount Bell flipped through the pages, the first few pages he had read carefully, and then he flipped them up quickly.
As he had guessed, all the operations of the underground races had been carried out in an orderly manner, and although their troops had lost in the Cordillera Command, it did not seem to have affected the army's battle plan in the slightest. Dietrie boldly led his team in pursuit, and it was likely that one of Blanca's most elite troops would be buried in the mountains.
"Lord Ogur, please get out." Viscount Bell said unceremoniously.
He pointed to the door with the cane in his hand, which had been extremely rude in the past, but at the moment Viscount Bell felt that this was the only way to suit his mood.
After the elderly lieutenant had left, Viscount Bell asked his lieutenant, "Now you can sue me, how did all these things happen?" The adjutant was sincerely frightened, and told everything he knew, and added before he could do so: "Sir, in all fairness, this matter is the meritorious work of His Excellency Ditry, and Chief Ogur is also out of helplessness, and wants to inspire people with a victory."
