Chapter 1049: Turmoil on the Bridge
The long river Oselina has a long history, starting from the Moon Ice Lake in the west and connecting to the Santa Terina Sea in the east, known as the Star River Promenade. Named after the Founding Emperor's concubine, the river has been found in countless poems and plays, with poets singing the praises of love, painters recording the beauty of the four seasons, and the waters of the Oselina River, which are interrupted from the end of the year. Even the cold winter could not dampen its rushing enthusiasm, it was the most beautiful thing in the hearts of the people of the empire, even if the stars were plucked, it could not compare to its beauty.
The Stranah Bridge spans the river, connecting the north and south of the empire. Also known as the Golden Bridge, it wasn't really made of gold, but this imposing, massive arch bridge was one of the Empire's greatest creations. The manpower and material resources spent on the Stranabridge make this arch bridge truly worthy of the saying that every inch of land is valuable.
At noon, Alan was on his horse, and the Golden Bridge could be seen from afar. At both ends of the bridge is a 100-meter arch made of pure limestone, on either side of which a craftsman carved a statue of a pair of knights with two swords intertwined. After a hundred years of wind and rain, the knight statue is still lifelike, symbolizing the longevity of the empire's military fortune.
The caravan passed through the arch, the horses stepped on the bridge, watched the long river on both sides, and listened to the roar of the rushing stream. It seems that he can travel through time and space and see that at the beginning of the founding of the country, Jin Ge Iron Horse, fought thousands of miles, and laid the cornerstone of this empire from the continent full of foreign races. Even an outsider like Allen, who did not belong to the Heavenly Star, couldn't help but feel a burst of enthusiasm. On the horse bridge, Alan looked to the east, and the Oselina River rolled eastward, and at the end was a brilliant golden light, the same color of water and sky, and it was one. With such a magnificent picture, Allen is happy, and his qi is three points more active than usual.
The curtain of the carriage window was rolled up, and Lucy and Adele each took one side, admiring the magnificent view of the river above the bridge. Alan rode beside the carriage and laughed with the two girls. Since going north, everyone is in the most relaxed mood at this moment, probably infected by the beauty of the mountains and rivers in front of them. At this moment, another team came in the dust, and all but one carriage were cavalry, and they were heavily armored and iron-armoured.
The curtains of the carriage were also lifted, and someone was lazily leaning against the window and looking at the scenery outside. It was a man, not very old, but round head and round head. The woman who sat next to him from time to time and sent pieces of citrus into his mouth was young and beautiful, but her appearance was more than delicate, and she was not dignified enough, and it was difficult to get into the lobby.
The two teams passed by, and the fat man happened to make eye contact with Adele, when suddenly a pair of narrowed eyes opened and shouted to stop. The caravan stopped, but the caravan went straight on, and the fat man called a knight and pointed at the caravan. The knight nodded, beckoned four of his comrades, and then turned his horse and turned in the direction of the caravan.
Alan bites a grass core and rides on his horse leisurely enjoying the afternoon sun. Suddenly, the caravan slowed down, even stopped, and then saw movement in front of the caravan. He frowned, spit out the grass core, patted the car window and said to Lucy, "I'll go see what's going on." Then he clamped the belly of the horse, and the horse jumped and trotted, and after a moment came to the front of the team.
The first five knights of the caravan stopped the way, and one of them burst forward to say something to Fares. Alan drove forward, came to Faress and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
By the end of the call, the knight had already asked aloud, "You are the leader of this caravan?" ”
Alan squinted, hearing that the other party's tone was not good, and nodded indifferently. The knight said "yes" and said, "Now we suspect that your caravan is smuggling Imperial contraband, and we order your caravan guards to disarm and be searched by us. ”
"Oh? Forbidden items in the Empire? Interesting, what kind of Imperial forbidden object are you talking about? Alan asked with a smile.
The knight said with a frosty face: "You'll know after a while, and if you don't give an order, do you want to disobey?" ”
Alan looked up at the sky and muttered, "What a hell, this daylight has even bumped into a robber to rob the road, and it is still on the Strana Bridge, I think the security of Motheol is really not ordinary." Then he ignored the knight, looked back at Fareth and asked, "What should we do if the robbers are in the way, Captain Fares?" ”
Faress is haunted by Rick's death and is in a bad mood. Now I see these knights who jumped out of nowhere to block the road for no reason, and casually press the head with a crime. Fortunately, they ran into Allen's iron plate, otherwise ordinary caravans would dare to disobey their orders. Listening to Allen's words now, how could he not know what to do, and immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Set up the formation, prepare for battle!" ”
A team of Mountain King warriors immediately roared and snatched them out of the ranks, standing in front of Alan and the others with their shields half-raised. Ten inch-fire shooters followed, scattered around half-crouching to raise their guns, making a gesture that they were ready to shoot. Other soldiers gathered their ranks, and even shooters jumped on the roof of the wagons to occupy a vantage point of high fire. Seeing this battle, the knights who led the team turned green, just looking at the movements of these caravan guards, they knew that this was a team that had experienced a hundred battles. He didn't expect that the guards of a mere caravan would have such qualities, let alone that the other party would openly resist, and he suddenly felt disgraced.
The knight roared: "Presumptuous, do you know who we are? We are regular knights of the Bear Armor Army! ”
"Oh, so what. Even if Arkham is here, he won't dare to search my team casually, let alone you knights! Alan said coldly.
The knight's eyes lit up, and he saw that Alan actually called out the name of the general Arkham directly, and his face did not change. I know that the origin of this caravan is definitely not simple, if it is changed to usual, I have to take the opportunity to step down and leave now. But since it was the order of the man in the horse team, the knight had to carry the order to the end. While he was still thinking about what excuse to euphemistically express the meaning of the man, suddenly there was a cry like killing a pig from the caravan.
Eren didn't feel anything, but the knight's face turned white. Ignoring Allen for the moment, he rode his horse and ran back. Alan gestured to leave Fareth where he was to warn the other knights, and he followed. When he came to the carriage where Lucy was, he saw Lola's greatsword stuck in the side of the road, and she was stepping on the stomach of a fat man. The two Milou sisters stood beside them, already condensing their twin swords and spears to confront a circle of knights around them.
Seeing the fat man on the ground, the knight captain roared angrily: "Damn slut, put your feet away!" Any idea who that is? That's the son of our Grand General Arkham, Prince Austin! He shouted and was about to draw his sword, but suddenly found that the sword was not moving. Looking down, a hand pressed against the hilt of the sword at some point, and when he looked again, Allen's gaze turned coldly.
The knight shuddered suddenly, and the words that came to Ben's lips suddenly forgot to continue. Alan turned over and dismounted, and walked over to Lola, who whispered, "This fat pig just tried to touch the carriage, and I kicked it off." ”
"Good kick." Alan said indifferently, and after a look, Lola withdrew her long feet. With a gesture of his hand, the giant sword on the ground buzzed and bounced. She caught it gently, but pointed at the outspoken knight captain, and Lola's eyes glowed with gold. The captain suffocated in his chest, and the invisible pressure that kept pouring from the giant sword made him almost attack with his sword. Fortunately, reason kept warning him not to act rashly, lest the situation go in the worst direction.
At this time, Alan reached out and pulled up the fat man on the ground, patted Austin's chest and asked with a puzzled expression, "Are you really Arkham's son?" ”
The fat man thought that he was intimidated by his father's name, and immediately exclaimed arrogantly, "Yes, my father is Arkham." The general of the Xiongjia Army, you untouchables dare to hurt me. Now, I want this woman to go back with me, she has a lot of strength, and I wish she had so much strength in bed. Austin drooled and pointed to the carriage again: "I want the two chicks in that cart too." ”
Finally, he pointed to the two Milu sisters: "And them, yes, send these women to me, and I can consider letting you go." Isn't it a good thing like this...... Oh! ”
Before he could finish speaking, Austin let out a scream. But it was Alan who held his hand, but Allen's palm was red, and green smoke kept coming out between his five fingers. Seeing this, the knight captain had to pull out his sword and roared: "Let go of Prince Austin, otherwise you will be the enemy of our Xiongjia Army!" ”
At this time, there were more and more onlookers on the bridge, all pointing at Xiong Jiajun and Austin. Alan sneered even more, and said loudly: "The Grayback Bear Armor Army is the elite of the empire, and it shoulders the safety of Mothor City. But at some point, the Bear Armor Army became Arkham's house slaves. Tell me, where have you left all the dignity of a knight! If there is still a little soldier's blood in your body, you shouldn't pull the sword for this fat pig! ”
The other knights all looked ugly, and the hand on the hilt of the sword was heavy in front of it, and Alan's words were like a resounding slap in the face and heart, making it difficult for the long sword at the waist to be unsheathed. Only then did Alan let go of the fat man, and Austin's wrist was marked with a red palm print. The fat man was just about to say something, and the neckline was brought up to Alan again. Alan stared at him and said, "Let me remind you that the Bear Armor Army is the army of the Empire, not Arkham's, let alone yours!" ”
"You!" Alan pointed to the knight with one hand: "Go and call Arkham, and say that his son is in my hands." Oh yes. My name is Alan, and I think General Arkham will know which Allen it is. ”
A thunderclap thundered in the knight captain's heart.
He had also heard of what had happened to Motheor, and knew that the name of the Southern Viscount who had killed the Bloody Earl was Alan. Now no matter how stupid he is, he can guess Allen's identity, with the size of the empire, a viscount may not be called a big man, but he is not the pariahs he just said. What's more, no matter how inconspicuous the viscount is, he is also a real power lord, and he is far from being a figure that he can offend as a leader of the Xiongjia Army.
The captain of the knights had a hot face, and under Allen's sight, he hurriedly called a knight, and asked him to hurry back to Motheol to spread the news.
