Chapter 960: Hundred Cities
"Do any of you know the origin of that cavalry unit?" Murong Feng turned around and asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Everyone leaned out and looked at it, then shook their heads in unison. Instead of leaning out to look, Sana made up her mind and said, "There is only one cavalry unit stationed nearby, and it is the garrison of Heiba Gang. How many cavalry are there below? ā
Murong Feng estimated: "There are about thirty thousand!" ā
Sana frowned and said, "There are 30,000 cavalry? That's nearly half of the strength of Heiba Gang. What was Archduke Karl thinking? ā
"Who is this Archduke Karl?" Renekton wondered.
"It's the newly crowned Grand Duke of the Black Lord." Sana said contemptuously, "It's a watchdog from the academy who is tied to Demacia's door. ā
Everyone knew that this Archduke Karl was a nail in the war college between Demacia and Noxus, acting as a buffer.
Murong Feng put down his binoculars and said in a deep voice: "I didn't make it clear just now, it's 30,000 cavalry in the front, and there is a larger army behind it. There were a large number of cavalry and baggage troops, the number of which was about 70,000. ā
"What?!" Suana's face changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "This is all the forces of the Black Ba Lord!" Archduke Karl is crazy? It doesn't matter if he doesn't go north to support the coalition forces to resist the demon invasion, but instead he wants to go south to do something? ā
Murong Feng was puzzled: "That vanguard cavalry did not enter the city, but went directly around the city along the avenue and continued south. Looking at the speed of the march seems to be very urgent. ā
"The 100,000 army is pouring south, could it be that something big is happening in the south?" Yasuo frowned, "I remember that the south side of Blackbagang seems to be a howling swamp, right?" ā
Onexia looked back and said, "That's right, there's a big swamp, and Sister Moon Shadow and I met a terrifying monster in that swamp when we first came here. These armies aren't going to encircle and suppress that monster, right? ā
Murong Feng shook his head and said, "It is impossible for the 100,000 army to pour south just to encircle and suppress a monster, otherwise it would be too child's play." ā
"So what are the many people down there doing? Outing? Onexia grinned.
Lilith suddenly spoke, "Sister Moon Shadow, where is the south side of the Howling Swamp?" ā
Murong Feng subconsciously replied: "It's the War Academy......"
Everyone was shocked and said in unison: "Could it be that something happened to the War College??? ā
"Impossible!" Sana was the first to say in disbelief: "Even if something happens somewhere else, it is impossible for the War College to have an accident, you don't know the defense capabilities of the War College." ā
Lilith pointed to the cavalry army rushing below, and asked, "But how do you explain the whereabouts of this army below?" ā
"Oh, I said, what are you fighting for? Just fly down and grab someone and ask, won't you know? Onexia said impatiently, and then glided down a hidden mountain.
At the bottom of the hill is a small plain, and in the middle of the plain sits a town. Looking down at the height of 10,000 meters, the city is only a small size, but when you get closer, you find that this big city can at least accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
Outside the city, there is a large river that runs around the city, and there is also an avenue running all the way south.
At this moment, thunder and dust were rolling on the avenue, and countless cavalry rushed by. And the rushing river is also full of ships full of war materials waiting to go south.
Suona said softly: "This is the ancient city of Baishi, and legend has it that this ancient city has been standing here for a hundred years, hence the name. ā
Onexia immediately asked, "Is there anything good to eat here?" ā
Everyone had black lines......
Sana said embarrassedly, "I haven't been here, so I don't know very well." ā
Onexia pursed her lips in disappointment.
"Why don't we just go into the city and find a hotel to have a good meal, and by the way, we can ask what's going on in the south?" ā
"That's a good idea, I'm for it!" Onexia immediately raised her hand.
"I'm for it too!" Amumu didn't figure out anything about the situation, so he coaxed.
Lilith pouted, "A few of us are still human, but Amumu and Renekton will be watched as soon as they enter the city, right?" ā
Sana said: "This is not to worry, the ancient city of Baishi can be said to be located in the center of the Valoran continent, east of Noxus, west of Demacia, south of the War College, is the capital of the city, I heard that there are even more aliens in the city than humans." ā
"Okay, then let's go to the city." Murong Feng agreed: "But in order to avoid some trouble, let's cover it up first." As he spoke, he took out a large stack of cloaks and distributed them to everyone.
Then the group of people wore black robes and cloaks and went down the mountain to the edge of the avenue, and at this time the 30,000 black iron horsemen had basically passed, and there were still some servants who drove camel beasts to pull carts on the road unhurriedly.
A group of people came to the city gate along the avenue, and found that there was no sign of chaos in the city at all, and several soldiers guarding the city were still lazy, and only looked at the heads of those who entered the city to collect money, and even checked it. Obviously, the army is crossing, and no matter how arrogant the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods are on weekdays, they have to be honest at this moment. Therefore, being on duty at the city gate has undoubtedly become the most idle errand, and not only is it idle, but it also has more oil and water than in the past.
"Entering the city is taxed per capitation, one silver coin per person, plus three silver coins of war tax." A veteran soldier squinted at the group of guys in front of him, and said lazily: "In addition, this wolf and the dog next to him will charge an additional maintenance fee for the city's appearance and environment, ten silver coins for the big one and five silver coins for the small one." ā
Xiao Hei bared his teeth, Murong Feng stepped forward and touched its head to calm it down, then counted out a bag of silver coins and threw it on the table.
"Go inside, don't get into trouble. When the army crosses the border, anyone who dares to make trouble in the city will be punished according to military law, and don't blame me for not reminding you. The veteran soldier weighed the money bag, only grabbed a few silver coins and threw them into the cash box, and the rest went directly into his pocket.
"Let's go." Murong Feng pretended not to see it, and led everyone across the moat bridge through the deep city gate hole into the bustling city.
As Sana said, the city is full of strange alien races, and humans have become a minority.
Murong Feng quickly noticed that from time to time, people wearing armor and carrying knives passed by, and they all rushed in one direction.
Onexia suddenly tugged at Murong Feng's robe and said, "There is a big restaurant in front of Sister Moon Shadow, and I smell a lot of good food. ā
Murong Feng shook his head speechlessly and said, "Okay, let's go to that restaurant." ā
Everyone followed the flow of people to the front of the restaurant, only to see that this wooden restaurant has five floors, each floor is carved beams and paintings, and two large flags are erected in front of the gate.
On one side it is written 'a bottle of gold for a hundred years of wine'!
On the other side, it reads 'Ten fish and shrimp in the river'!
Murong Feng was immediately happy, and said in his heart that this advertisement was really interesting. Look up at the restaurant signboard again, and read three gilded characters 'Baishilou'!
Everyone walked into the door of the restaurant, and immediately an enthusiastic Xiao Er stepped forward to greet him: "A few guest officers want to eat?" Do you still want to listen to music? ā
"Naturally, I came to the restaurant to eat, what kind of music did I listen to?" Onexia muttered impatiently.
Xiao Er smiled, and immediately knew that this group of people was from other places.
Murong Feng patted Onexia's little head, signaled her not to talk nonsense, and then took out a silver coin and threw it to Xiao Er, and ordered, "Give us a quiet private room." ā
"Okay, a few of you please go upstairs, there is a private room upstairs." Xiao Er took the reward and immediately offered everyone as his own father, and enthusiastically greeted everyone up the stairs.
It was only then that everyone saw that there was something special in the interior of this restaurant.
In the center of the lobby on the first floor is a patio, in which a stage is set up, and several beautiful women of different races in cool clothes are performing enchanting dance music.
Along the stairs to the second floor is a private room separated by a screen, Xiao Er led everyone to a good position by the window on the street, and after everyone sat down, he brought a menu for each person, and began to gush about dozens of signature dishes of this Baishilou.
Murong Feng casually flipped through the menu a few times, closed it and asked, "When I came in, I saw two banners erected at the door of your restaurant, and on one side it was written that what Baishi Fine Wine wants to be a bottle of gold, but is it true?" ā
Xiao Er immediately smiled and said: "There is this rule for this guest officer, but this Baishi wine is not something that can be drunk with money, and you must write a poem for this Baishi wine in public to win the applause of the whole house to drink, otherwise you can't drink it even if you have more money." ā
Murong Feng smiled dumbly and said, "Is there such a strange rule?" Forget it, this wine must have a sour taste when you drink it, so don't drink it. ā
Xiao Er grinned and couldn't refute the guests, but in his heart, he was slandering where did the soil buns come from? If you can't afford to drink, you can't afford to drink, and you still pretend to be a local tyrant.
Syllable! Onexia slapped the menu on the table, which scared Xiao Er, and thought that he had accidentally said it, but he heard the other party patting the menu and saying, "This order is too troublesome, you can just follow the menu and get ten servings of each." ā
Xiao Er's legs were weak and he almost knelt, crying and laughing: "This eldest lady, don't joke, there are hundreds of dishes on this menu, even if you finish eating everything?" ā
Onexia's eyes rolled, and she immediately smiled: "Then do you dare to bet with me?" What happens when I'm done? ā
Everyone was speechless, and said that this girl was really addicted to eating white food.
Xiao Er is not the shopkeeper of the restaurant, so he naturally does not dare to make this bet, even if he is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, he will not be stupid enough to make such a bet. Because there is nothing lacking in this world, there will never be a shortage of pot-bellied kings, especially in Baishi City, where there are so many alien races.
"Miss, I don't dare to take this bet." Xiao Er looked at the giant wolf cowering in the corner and the big-waisted Renekton on the side, obviously mistaking these two guys for the pot-bellied king.
"Xiao Ni don't play." Murong Feng spoke, then took out a small bag of gold coins and threw it on the table, and said to Xiao Er: "Serve according to the menu, this money will be regarded as a deposit." ā
Xiao Er's eyes lit up when he heard the voice, and he hurriedly grabbed the money bag and responded again and again, and the flattering smile directly regarded Murong Feng as an ancestor.
"A few guest officers, please wait a moment, and the little one will go and order someone to bring some fruit plates and wine to a few people to pad their stomachs first." Xiao Er immediately bowed down and retreated.
Murong Feng made a quiet gesture, then closed his eyes and spread out the spiritual force field, shaking his ears slightly. Immediately, the noise of the restaurant reached her ears. Soon, several exchanges were screened by her......
Xiao Er quickly led a few attendants to bring fruit plates and wine into the quiet and unusual private room, Murong Feng opened his eyes and popped out a silver coin that fell into Xiao Er accurately, and said with a smile: "Xiao Er asked you about something." ā
"Guest officer, just ask, what do you want to inquire about in this Hundred World City, you really asked the right person." Xiao Er immediately responded with a flattering smile.
Murong Feng looked at the street scene outside the window, and pretended to ask casually, "When we entered the city, we saw that a large army had just passed south, where did this go?" ā
Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and was surprised: "Don't you know the guest officer?" Mogrohn Pass is lost. Those black-baked iron riders were in a hurry to get back to the War College to defend themselves against the desert aliens. ā
Murong Feng's face was calm, because it was no different from the news he had eavesdropped on before.
There was an eerie silence in the private room, except for a few heavy breaths.
"I really don't know about this, because we're here from the west." Murong Feng rubbed his wine glass and chuckled, "Isn't this Mogrohn Pass known as the Iron Wall Male Pass?" With tens of thousands of elites of the War College stationed there, how could it suddenly be lost? ā
"Alas, who says it's not, this world is really getting more and more unpeaceful." Xiao Er sighed, then looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it, the sudden loss of this Mogrohn Pass is actually another hidden reason, and the little one also heard that those desert alien races seem to have dug a secret passage under the boulder peak and went around to the back of the Mogrohn Pass to carry out a two-sided attack." ā
Renekton breathed heavily, and if Yasuo hadn't reached out and pressed his shoulder, he might have jumped up.
"But that's not the point." Xiao Er looked left and right again, and said nervously: "The little one also heard about another bigger shock......
Murong Feng saw Xiao Er rubbing his fingers, and speechlessly took out another silver coin and bounced it over, Xiao Er immediately caught it with a smile, and then said, "I heard that Xiao Er...... The demons are back!! ā
Xiao Er thought that he would scare these people after telling this shocking news, but what he didn't expect was that this group of people looked at him like idiots one by one......
"We already know the news." Murong Feng picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Everyone said that not only did we know it for a long time, but the tens of thousands of demon army in front of you who not only single-handedly killed were crushed for thousands of miles, but in the end, one person coerced the 200,000 demon army to kneel down for her, and she didn't even dare to raise her head before leaving!
Xiao Er smiled, didn't dare to bluff anymore, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It seems that several guest officers are also masters, so the little ones won't hide it." A few people must also know that the demon army is back, and the War College is bound to mobilize all coalition forces to go to the Summoner's Canyon to resist, so naturally this Mogrohn Pass is empty, so it was picked up by those desert aliens. However, in the eyes of the villain, those desert aliens are not to worry at all. Maybe as soon as the Black Ba Iron Rider arrives, those desert aliens will flee directly from the wind. ā
However, Murong Feng was not very optimistic, because she knew that behind this series of shocking changes there were probably many careerists.
