Chapter 64: The Cannon Enters the Customs

A day later, Xiao Chen and Viscount Josa came to Heimu Pass again, followed by two 80mm pneumatic cannons drawn by horses. There were also six artillery crews of two artillery crews, as well as an escort of four melee soldiers.

It's just that these four warriors are not ordinary soldiers, but are composed of two high-level warriors, Roger and Evelyn, as well as the two best mid-level fighters among the melee fighters. And the artillery was also mixed with two high-level mages, Huang Zheng and Zhang Hong. In addition, Xiao Chen can be used as four people by himself, although there are few people in this team, the strength is actually extremely strong. According to Xiao Chen, if Olgas really wants them to take a bite, he will break his teeth at least.

This time, instead of opening only one crack last time, the gates were almost completely open. A much wider bridge than the last one was erected over the trench. Xiao Chen looked up and saw that it was no longer the knight from last time who greeted them, but Olgas himself. He was still wearing the same set of blue-blue plate armor as last time, but with a cloak added to his shoulders, which made his momentum appear a little stronger, and he was followed by more than a dozen knights in various armor and mages in magic robes, these were his most important subordinates.

"Count Olgas, this is His Excellency Xiao Chen, the High Mage of the Tower of China. Viscount Josa said at the bridge.

However, Olgas obviously had no intention of coming to the other side of the bridge, and he said loudly over there: "Your Excellency Xiao Chen's courage is admirable, and I have begun to believe in your sincerity. ”

"We are very sincere, and we believe that after this operation, His Excellency Olgas will be able to truly trust us. ”

"Of course!" Algas raised his hand sideways in a welcoming gesture and said, "Please enter the customs." ”

"This man is a master. Roger drove the horse and whispered to Xiao Chen.

"Didn't the intelligence say that he was a high-level pinnacle?" Xiao Chen said.

"I don't know when the intelligence came in. But he must have not been promoted for long. Just now, when he was talking loudly, I could hear that his aura was a little unstable, this was because he hadn't completely sorted out the evolved Dou Qi energy. Because I'm also at the top of the high level, all the people can realize this. ”

"You're right. Evelyn said, "I feel the same way. But he didn't hide anything, maybe it's not bad news. ”

At the end of the team, Zhang Hong looked at the black wood that covered half of the sky and swallowed his saliva, but the road under his feet was a little hesitant.

Huang Zheng said: "It's all here, what else is there to hesitate about." Speaking of which, I really didn't expect you to agree to take that risk. ”

"Just kidding, I've been to the thieves' lair and chased them down. In terms of guts, there are really few people in the school who are older than me. Zhang Hong glanced at Huang Zheng and said.

"Anyway, I'm impressed that you're willing to participate in this mission. Huang Zheng patted them on the shoulder and whispered, "Even if you are trying to make political capital." ”

Zhang Hong's face tightened, Huang Zheng looked at him and smiled, and continued to walk forward. Zhang Hong gritted his teeth and walked onto the wooden bridge with his feet raised.

Huang Zheng is right, Zhang Hong will volunteer to participate in this operation this time, just to brush up on his resume. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that since they are going to change from a school to a country, the corresponding system will be established very quickly.

The members of the Committee have not been re-elected for two years. Although some basic details of the model for the establishment of the government are still being discussed, the structure of maintaining the rule of the committee is the mainstream opinion. For the next eight to ten years, they didn't put much effort into internal reforms.

The members will be elected internally by each functional department, and then the method of recommendation has been basically determined. This way of establishing a government is the most stable and least changing model at present. According to what he heard, each department will elect a chairman and two vice members. Zhang Hong, the chief committee member, did not dare to think about it, but there was still hope for him to squeeze into the position of a vice chairman and become a member of the committee meeting.

In order to have a better chance of getting ahead, he also specially applied for a transfer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where Luo Ling and Xiao Chen were both located, and went to the newly established Ministry of Communications. Now he is in the circle of everyone in the school, because of the previous battle of horse thieves, escaping from the tiger's den, and capturing the mage alive, his resume is still quite competitive, if you add the performance in this war, there are really not many people who can compare him. Being able to become a rising political star step by step is worth a fight for him.

Zhang Hong was thinking wildly, and the pneumatic cannon behind Xiao Chen and him had already crossed the wooden bridge and came to the city gate. He stood in front of the Count of Olgas, who looked the young man up and down, and took the initiative to salute, "Nature gives abundance." Your Excellency Xiao Chen, I am glad that we are on the same side in the matter of confronting the Empire. ”

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, replied with a mage salute, and then pointed to the two pneumatic cannons behind him and said, "Count Olgas, although we come from different places, it is our common will to protect this land and the people living on this land, and we can naturally stand on the same side." You can expect performance from these two big guys. ”

"That's what you call a pneumatic cannon, isn't it?" the Count walked over to the pneumatic cannon dragged by the horses, and as he passed Roger and Evelyn, he glanced at them and smiled faintly.

He carefully looked at the pneumatic cannon, and reached out and gently stroked it for a while, "It's hard to imagine that such two iron pipes can burst out with such terrifying power. ”

He looked up to his men and said, "It may be that I am too poor in words for you to imagine what happened to Suero or to feel what I feel, but now you will soon be able to see what I have described." ”

Xiao Chen suddenly understood that today's "performance" was also performed by the earl for them to show his subordinates. You must know that the army at this time is often composed of the lords of each family drawing their own manpower. Although Olgas is the main general, he may have limited control over some troops. Now the more than a dozen people standing obediently on the side may not buy more of Olgas's account in their hearts. It would not be easy for the Count himself to get these people to cooperate willingly, and to hand over the soldiers and power in his hands. This requires Xiao Chen and them to appear strongly, so that they can see the overwhelming power of the Chinese.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Your Excellency Olgas, are we ready to start?"

"Just what I wanted. The Earl said.
