Chapter 207: Teammates
Today was the day of departure, and early in the morning Van said goodbye to Shield, and walked to the mansion of Count Orić. The Earl of the pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time, but after nodding symbolically to him, he ordered the convoy to leave.
Orić's visit to his own territory did not make much of a gain, the insect tide counterattack he expected did not happen, and there was news that the insect tide rebellion in the entire imperial border wasteland had suddenly decreased, but fortunately, he still got the military merit obtained by repelling the orange-level worm hive, and there was almost no loss.
The convoy traveled very fast, and in half a day it had reached Yorktown, on the edge of the hinterland of the empire.
Yorktown was the size of a medium-sized county town in the old days, and as a strategic location to serve as a transportation hub in the southeastern part of the Empire, it was not only the only way to enter the hinterland of the Empire, but also the center of power in the territory of the Earl of Orich.
This was the first time that the Van had officially appreciated the special customs of the empire, and the endless flow of people in fancy clothes on the streets was a very obvious footnote.
Rules are the cornerstone of the survival of the people of the empire, and here, class has been engraved in the bones of the people of the empire, and their adherence to the rules has reached the point of strictness, and it is precisely because of this that the empire has been able to grow and develop.
So when walking between the roads of Yorktown, Van could see the residents at any time greeting the marching guards to avoid the way. The various grocery stores on both sides of the road are the most peculiar places for Fan, which also reflects the affluence of the citizens under the jurisdiction of the empire, which is not at the same level as those in the border wilderness.
This may be the reason why all the people who live in the wilderness are eager to one day enter the hinterland of the empire.
Van couldn't help but be amazed by the bustling city of Yorktown, and as he passed by the central square, he even found a place to buy firearms in the shops along the street, which was the most surprising point for him.
And the citizens of the Empire who move around the storefront from time to time, judging from the posture of their guns, are by no means as rusty as the first contact, as the owners of the gun fighting arts, the love of the Imperial people for guns has reached the point of fanaticism. It's not hard to explain why the Empire is so brave and good at fighting.
After a quarter of an hour on foot with Orić's group, they finally arrived at Orić's mansion in Yorktown, which was a small mansion with gardens and rockeries and even a lavish swimming pool. In the last days, water was used as a strategic resource, and it was the first time that the Vatican had seen it as a swimming pool, which also reflected the abundance of the empire's resources from the side.
As soon as Orić returned to the mansion, he hurried away in a whisper from a steward, who then hurried with Van to where he was supposed to go.
Deep in the mansion is a three-story frame building, blocked by a tight high-pressure barbed wire, and Imperial soldiers with weapons in their hands stand outside the barbed wire with serious expressions.
The steward whispered a few words in the guard's ear, and the tight cordon was opened to allow only one person to enter. Van stepped in, and the lush trees outside the building were out of place with the cold wire grid around it.
Walking outside the building's door, Van could even hear the shouts and tremors of flesh colliding with each other. Pushing the door in, the first thing to bear the brunt of it was a huge fist!
Van reacted quickly at the moment of crisis, his neck pressing back as quickly as if it had no bones, the iron fist slid against the bridge of his nose, and he could even feel the cold touch on the fist.
It was an alloy fist attached to the door, and it was clear that any inexperienced newcomer would have been greeted with its "warm" hospitality.
Fan avoided this blow, he was secretly lucky, if it weren't for his body structure being different from ordinary people, he wouldn't have been able to avoid this blow anyway, and judging from the size of this alloy iron fist alone, if this blow is hit, the fracture of the nose bridge is a trivial matter, and it is possible to be knocked out on the spot.
This annoyed Van a bit, and in any case, such a joke had gone too far.
And as Van narrowly avoided the alloy fist, most of the people stopped their movements on the various training equipment on the first floor of the building.
"Hey! There's a new guy here."
"Why haven't you heard the boss talk about it beforehand?"
"If the boss doesn't get notice, it proves that it's another piece of rubbish, otherwise the boss would have reminded us."
"I don't think so, the alloy fist didn't knock him out."
"Is the screw loose? Otherwise, it's impossible! Since installing this, no one has been able to avoid it the first time, and even those who have reformed have suffered a lot. ”
Fan looked coldly at these guys who stood together spontaneously, the bodies of these people were very huge, the muscles that had just been trained and congested were like steel ingots, and the shiny sweat soaked their naked upper bodies, compared to them, their bodies were obviously a little slender, so almost all of them looked at him with an extremely casual look.
"Hah! Looks like a rookie! Someone took the lead and walked out, "Boy, new here?" What is your name. He had a pair of ugly inverted triangular eyes, especially a deep scar at the corner of his eye, which added a bit of cruelty, and when he looked at Fan's extremely ugly face, he undisguised his disgusted expression.
"Fuck, I'm asking you! What is your name! Seeing that Fan didn't answer, the man couldn't help but curse.
"Who's in charge here?" Fan suddenly asked coldly.
"What did you say?" The man who spoke leaned forward.
"I said, who's in charge here?"
"Haha! Listen to this skinny monkey, and you still want to find someone in charge! Lao Tzu tells you, I am in charge! With the others laughing loudly, Triangle Eyes pointed at Fan's nose and scolded.
"You listen to me, the new arrival must have the rules of the new arrival, and now I have the final say......"
"So you made the fist?" Van faintly interrupted Triangular Eye's tirade.
Triangle Eyes raised his eyebrows disdainfully, "So what!" You can still ......."
Boom!
Almost at the moment when Triangle Eye agreed, his body was like a baseball that had been knocked off with great force, and the sharp pain spread from the bridge of his nose to his entire face and up to his entire body, and a large amount of tears mixed with blood accompanied his parabolic body off the ground, leaving a clear mark on the clean ground.
Rumble! There was another crash, and Triangle Eye's body fell heavily to the ground, and he clutched his nose in pain and wailed, and his fingers were quickly filled with red blood.
Van carried the bag in his hand and walked directly through the triangular eye body along the blood line.
"You like to go to the theater, don't you? I suggest you call out the real stewards here, my time is precious. ”
Looking at the guys who had already stood in a circle, with serious expressions and faintly attacking, he said coldly. (To be continued.) )
