Chapter 55: Heading North
Mike Talos lowered his head and led nearly two hundred city defense soldiers behind him, who were also flushed, to protect An Ruihong and his maids, servants, guards and others through the streets and westward out of the city.
Feeling the countless contemptuous and mocking eyes on the streets on both sides, my heart felt like I had broken a five-flavor bottle, and everything tasted like it was all right except for the lack of "sweetness"!
Guanghui Avenue is the widest main road from east to west in Jiaye City, and it is almost on the north-south center line of the entire city!
Just five days ago on the morning, many groups of troops from the Maple Leaf Kingdom walked down this street one after another, and they were inspected by King Morgan IX and Acting Pope Lal with great glory!
At that time, Talos was also standing on the stage!
Although the unexpected death of the old Pope made everyone, including the king, deeply saddened!
But now things are wrong in an instant!
Who would have thought that in less than a week, when he led people on this street, it would be because he protected the mad princess from being watched by the civilians of his country!
Even though the people around him were silent all the time!
Taking a deep breath, the only thing that the hapless Talos city guard had to rejoice in now was the reassuring words of the king when he learned of this: "You should be like a volcano about to erupt at this moment!
This is the king's consolation to himself and to the people of the city defense army!
However, until now, only himself and the adjutant knew this!
The concealment of his brothers does not mean distrust! but that Talos knows that people talk and think nonsense!
Thanks to years of training, as well as his prestige in the city defense army!
Otherwise, with countless pairs of eyes along the way, some psychologically fragile people can be driven crazy!
I glanced back at the castle of Gaya City, which was almost invisible!
It was the prototype of the previous city, and later due to the heavy use of thermal weapons in obsidian, the defensive role of the city walls has been weakened again and again, and even now it has gradually become a burden for the defenders!
Now the ancient castle has become the exclusive work area of the city manager!
Talos pursed his lips, and there was a look of determination in his eyes!
Five more minutes! Hold on for another five minutes and you'll be there!
Since Liu En learned about what Snow Fox did to the city defense army yesterday, he has become very interested in this princess with a different surname from Beisanke!
Whether it was because of the accidental collision of the purpose of supporting Takayama City, or the overwhelming force against the defense officer of Talos City yesterday!
Swatting mosquitoes?
Terrible!
Forced the commander of the defense force of Gaya City to say such a lame excuse, and also took the opportunity to get rid of the surveillance of Gray Mountain!
may also make this city defense officer lose the hearts of the people!
What if it won the king's admiration for a while?
Being transferred to Flame City as an official will still be secretly criticized by most people! Maybe a new term will soon be forced on Mike Taros!
For example, "Gaya City Soft Egg"? or "North Sanke Lackey!"
He's not the "Mistress of the Grey Mountain"! There's no way the king will always be there for him!
At this time, in addition to Snow Fox, the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce, which led this trip to Alpine City, is all in place!
Liu En and the principals of the other two Southern Chamber of Commerce looked at each other and nodded, and after greeting the president of the Maple Leaf Country Silver Pine Chamber of Commerce, Pi smiled and said a few words, a large group of people and carriages in the direction of Gaya City slowly came!
The locomotive of the city defense army of the brigade that first caught his eye made Liu En stunned for a moment, isn't it a person from Snow Fox? How!
But when they saw the transport convoy protected by layers in the middle, several waiting presidents looked at each other in surprise!
The city defense army protects all the way, why is it still so grand today?
But after thinking about it, the princess deserves to be a princess! This treatment is indeed worthy of status!
Talos saw that there were people from the Black Gold and other chambers of commerce not far in front of him, and immediately ordered the troops in front to turn to both sides and give way to the main road for the Snow Fox's convoy to pass!
Talos and the soldiers stopped at the convoy of the Chamber of Commerce, which was much larger again due to An Ruihong's joining, and immediately trotted to the door of the car where An Ruihong was and waited!
At the same time, almost all of them arrived with President Guise of the Silver Pine Chamber of Commerce!
The window of the car slowly opened, revealing the delicate face of the maid who had just slapped Talos yesterday: "Your Excellency, thank you for your protection for the day, and I look forward to seeing you next time!"
Talos listened, and next time?
Hurriedly bowed and said politely: "The princess doesn't have to thank Talos, this is what the city defense army should do! Then Talos will go back to the king!"
After speaking, he nodded with a subtle expression of relief, and took a step back before walking in the direction of his troops!
The maid thought that Guise was also the city defense army that had come with Talos, but the chief officer had already left, but he was still standing by the car!
"Is there something wrong?" the maid had to ask again.
Ji Si bowed down and smiled slightly: "Villain Maple Leaf National Silver Pine Chamber of Commerce Ji Si, when can His Highness leave?"
The maid turned her head to look at An Ruihong beside her, and a lazy female voice with three points of impatience came out of the car window: "Along the way, President Guise will arrange it himself, now I am not a princess, but the president of Snow Fox!"
With the authorization of the biggest boss on the trip, Gise breathed a sigh of relief and bowed again before turning to leave!
Soon, this batch of more than 200 trucks and a large convoy of nearly 1,000 people set off one by one, raising a thick gray-yellow smoke and dust, and disappeared on the road that gradually deflected northward!
At this time, the motorcade of the city defense army, which had just left for less than two minutes, suddenly stopped, and Talos turned his head to look at the rich dusk behind him that was heading north, and announced in a loud voice: "Give you half a day off! Gather at the training ground at three o'clock in the afternoon! Disband!"
Hearing Talos's order, all the officers and soldiers of the city defense commanded in unison!
After the soldiers left, Mike Talos was left alone on the road!
Start the locomotive again and drive leisurely towards Jiaye City!
Maybe it's time to go back and change into casual clothes and find a tavern for a drink!
The time of protecting the escort mad princess for one day has brought him too much pressure!
Just as they were moving, a locomotive was driving in front of them!
"Your Excellency, the King's new order for you!" the man controlled the streamlined locomotive with bright red lines in silver gray under him with his right hand, and shook it in the air with a white paper that looked like a letter in his left hand!
The two staggered to a stop, Talos got out of the car and carefully unsealed the paint, looking at the short letter with only one hundred and ten words, the corners of the city defense officer's mouth slowly curled!
