Chapter 958: Grass Becomes a Gun
Two days later, the gun city of Yedega was in sight.
Yedegar is the main city of the Iron Spear Lord, and originally there was no prefix for the word Gun City. It wasn't until Huo Yi continued to be knighted, made military achievements, and won the name of the Marquis of Strength that Yedega had the nickname of Gun City. Out of Hoy, a spear-wielding overlord, the large and small iron shops in Yedega used to only cast war spears for a while, and the city from the noble gate lords to the cloth-clothed soldiers liked to fiddle with spears. For a time, there were more than 10,000 spears in the city, and the name of the gun city was just like that.
This trend that made Huo Yi cry and laugh was suppressed under his order, but the name of Gun City was passed down like this. Although the blacksmiths in the city also cast other weapons, they dare not say that they are the blacksmiths of the gun city unless they have a few good guns in front of the shop.
On this day, Alan drove himself and became a groom. This made the real groom sitting next to him sweat in his palms, and it made the Viscount himself ride the horse, which was fresh and awe-inspiring to him, but Alan chatted with him without a word.
It was just that he could see that the groom was nervous, so Alan didn't ask him any more questions, saving him more trouble. Alan raised his eyes and saw that the Gun City was built on a fertile field, backed by a series of mountains, but it was not built on a hill like the mountain city, but at the foot of the mountain. Yedegar is the main city of Iron Gun Ridge, and the city is still a little larger than Ark Harbor, with a population of nearly 100,000, which can be regarded as the largest city in the south.
Of course, it's still not comparable to a super city like Imperial Hall, but it's the largest city Alan has seen so far.
From a distance, the guards of the Gun City lay across the field. The walls of Jedgar always had three sides, gradually increasing in height, and the highest third wall was twenty meters high. The three guard walls are arched, which can be called well-defended. What's more, the cannon on the third wall is not an ornament, Alan estimated in his heart, with the height of the wall and the distance of the artillery. The open field within a kilometer in front of the gun city was covered by artillery fire.
Judging from the Empire's regular siege example, it is not easy to capture a city like the Gun City of Yedega. But for Allen, as long as the secret production lines of those two chariots are running, and there are more than ten main chariots, it will be a battle to defeat Yedegar. It is conceivable that when the chariot in Allen's hand comes out, it will have a huge impact on the empire.
Outside the gun city, there are fertile fields, and at this moment when the weather is getting warmer, there are farmers in the fields who are cultivating the land and sowing seeds. Everywhere you can hear the sound of the cow Naruto, see Orlando this team, many children pull adults to drop the ploughing ox, run to the side of the road to watch, Orlando on the horse waved to the leader, and children chased after the back of the car. Alan handed the car back to the groom, got into the car himself, and took some sweets and pastries, which immediately attracted a group of children.
After only a few strokes, there was only a smooth plate left in Allen's hand, and the children who had been given the candy laughed and scattered, making Allen chuckle.
At this time, the convoy suddenly stopped, and Alan felt a special breath. Putting down the plate, he jumped out of the carriage. There was an elderly man in front of the line. But when he got older, the old man still stood as tall as a javelin, so Alan knew who the man was.
Iron Gun Hoy!
"Sir Allen!" Hoy exhaled and raised his voice.
Alan hurriedly agreed: "I've seen Marquis Hoy." ”
Hoy nodded, expressionless, looking at Orlando scratching his head. He jumped off his horse, ran to Huo Yi's side, and said, "Father, why are you here?" ”
Even if it was to greet the procession, Huo Yi should be standing in front of the City Lord's Mansion, far from outside the city of Yedega. What's more, he is single and blocking the way, and his qi is hidden, which is not as simple as greeting the team. Huo Yi said lightly: "It's none of your business, back away." ”
Orlando was about to say something more, but Hoy suddenly stretched out his hand. Orlando suddenly felt an invisible wall of qi coming towards him, and forcefully pushed him ten meters away. Orlando immediately got angry and shouted, "What the hell are you doing, old man! ”
Huo Yi turned back and smiled at the son, and when he saw the old father smile, Orlando was immediately silenced. He doesn't know that when he is a son, Huo Yi usually has a straight face, and if he suddenly smiles at you, it is usually not a good thing.
"Sir Allen, I heard you're going north?" Huo Yi ignored his son and asked Allen.
"That's right."
"Well, today Huo Yi will be a roadblock, saying that you don't have the weight to go north. If not, it's better to turn back now, be your viscount with peace of mind, and Huo Yi can ensure that you have no worries for the rest of your life. ”
Orlando couldn't help but exclaim, "Old man, people are guests!" Do you treat your guests like that? ”
"Whatever the outcome, Hoy should make amends to Sir Alan afterwards, so you shut up." Huo Yi said in a deep voice.
Alan smiled: "I can't afford to make amends to Lord Marquis, so let me apologize to Sir Hoy." He reached into the carriage, and Lola naturally handed him the Red King. Huo Yi squinted, he naturally understood the meaning of Allen's words, referring to Huo Yi who couldn't stop him, so Allen, who had bumped into the marquis, should apologize to him afterwards.
Hubris? Alan's tone was flat, as if he couldn't talk about it. Assertive? For the strong man who has been the number one person in the southern realm for twenty years, probably no one has the confidence to win. The corners of Huo Yi's mouth pulled up a slight arc, if it weren't for the fact that the Fire Demon Gable hadn't even survived a knife in the hands of this young viscount, Huo Yi would have stood in front of the City Lord's Mansion to welcome the arrival of this team.
Now it's a different story.
After all, over the years, few people have been able to arouse his interest. Once this viscount goes north, he, Hoyke, will miss this opportunity. It's better to try the other party now, if this young man can't pass him, it will be a good thing for him to return to his own territory. Take 10,000 steps back, if Alan is allowed to break through, then he will generously give this young man a great reputation.
If you know that even Huo Yi can't stop him, how can those people who want to fight Allen's idea have to weigh themselves in weight?
Huo Yi raised his hand, and the wind surged. The long grass on both sides of the road that had not yet been removed rose into the sky, and was pulled by an invisible force field and hovered like a cloud above Huo Yi's head. Huo Yi caught it with five fingers, and the grass clouds fell. The long grass flew and swirled, and a spear "woven" from the long grass was woven in Huo Yi's hand.
Hoy's blue thunder spear is still on Orlando's horse, but the grass spear in the marquis's hand is equally unreasonable.
There is no other reason.
Just because it's in Huo Yi's hands, it's such a simple truth!
