378 Standby

When Barlow came to the city wall with more than a dozen guards, the hovercraft had been staying under the city wall for a while, looking at this somewhat familiar steel beast, the city guards did not rush to attack, after all, some time ago, there were not a few people who had witnessed this thing, and many people knew that the city lord and this steel giant beast had some unclear relationship.

"Sure enough, it's him!" Balolo stood behind the battlements, looking at the hovercraft shining in the sun, feeling a little unhappy and worried. After all, if anyone has been threatened with their lives, they will not be too comfortable, but he also knows very well that he does not have any strength to resist in front of Chen Xiansong, that woman is too terrifying, he feels that even if it is a real sun god servant, he may not be that woman's opponent.

"Is this the thing?" A fairly nice mature female voice sounded. Philox and her subordinates also came to the city wall, she looked at the shiny and smooth hovercraft below, her eyes were full of greed: "It's really O'Hari steel, you actually let go of such a precious thing in front of you?" ”

"It's not mine, I don't dare touch it, after all, I'm just a little nobleman, and some things are not something I can touch......" Barlow turned around and said, then turned around, facing the distance in front of him, a sinister smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Smugly snorting his long hair, Philox said, "Yes, you are a good man, very self-aware. Petty nobles need to be self-aware if they want to survive, and you have done a good job in this regard. Now I believe that the previous lord was not killed by you, because you are very sensible. So you don't dare. ”

Barlow turned around, bent slightly very sincerely, and said without humility or arrogance, "I'm glad that you think so, ma'am." In my philosophy, the aristocracy should be subordinate to each other, and each should do his job, which is the way to make a country strong. I think in this regard, it is necessary for us to learn the concept of the Aurora Kingdom, the Father of Heaven and Earth, in four simple words. It is the truth of the world. ”

"You have a point, but our country has our own national conditions. The system of other countries cannot be copied. Philox looked at Barlow with a smirk: "You are not a true lord yet, only temporary. There are a lot of things you don't need to think about too much, otherwise you're overstepping your authority. ”

Barlow nodded yes, then stepped aside. Philox was just a woman. But her knighthood is high. With affection and reason, Barlow obeying her instructions is not a shame. Moreover, Philox has a lot of power to decide whether or not Barlow can officially take up the position of city lord.

Satisfied with Barlow's interest again, Philox looked at the hovercraft beneath the city walls and asked, "Lord Barlow, how much do you know about this strange thing below?" What kind of creature is it? ”

Barlow touched his chin, organized his words, and said, "Dear lady." I've seen it up close, and it's probably not a creature. It's a strange ancient relic, because I've seen someone walk into it, and then it floats, not too high, but enough to travel in most environments. ”

"Ancient relics? Can fly? Hearing these key words, Philox's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the greed in them became more and more exposed: "I thought it was just a beast dressed in O'Hari steel, and I thought it had some wisdom, but I didn't expect it to be an ancient relic." ”

She couldn't help but moan at the thought that such a precious and magical ancient relic would be her own, and that she was about to make a big splash in the royal city. A young man behind her walked out and whispered: "Madam, we need to think carefully about this matter, ancient relics are not something that ordinary people can have, and it sounds like this ancient relic is quite useful, I think the other party may be quite difficult, after all, if they don't have a little confidence, they don't dare to release such an important thing for the world to see." ”

Philox glanced at him and said angrily: "Roland, what do you mean, you mean that my identity is not enough, and I am not qualified to obtain such a precious ancient relic?" Or is it that our strength is not strong, and four hundred elite knights are no match for them? ”

"That's not what I meant, ma'am." The young man named Roland hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I'm just worried about the power behind the enemy, in case they have an unusual background, this may have a rather adverse impact on our family, madam, please consider carefully." ”

"I don't need to think about it." Philox snorted: "This is our own country, even if the other party is powerful, it is beyond the reach of the whip, or they are a member of our country's aristocracy, I would like to ask them, such an important thing, why did they not hand it over to the royal family, but used it themselves." ”

"Madame!" Roland raised his head, and his rather handsome face looked serious: "I think this matter has some bad premonitions, and please seriously consider my opinion." We don't have to deal with them right now, and we need to investigate their identities before we talk about it, otherwise we will stab the hornet......"

"Enough!" Philox let out a loud shout and stopped Roland from continuing, "I have to admit that you are very smart, Roland. But you have one bad thing, which is that you are too cautious. Many times, we have to be decisive, according to what you said, by the time we finish investigating the identity of the other party, this thing will have long disappeared, and when the time comes, who will give me to find it back. ”

"We can stop them, put them under house arrest for the time being, and try not to make them angry, and then we can investigate their identities in a few days," Russell said. ”

"Roland, it's impossible for your plan to succeed." Before Philox could speak, another male entourage stood up and said: "The enemy is not stupid, maybe we haven't detained them yet, they will find out that something is wrong, take the initiative to attack us, instead of passive, it is better for us to directly arrest the other party, and kill them without doing anything, even if the people of their family come to the door in the future, we will not admit it, and there will be no problem in pushing the matter away." ”

"But ......"

"All right, Roland. Stop talking. Philox savagely interrupted the young man's words, and then she stood by and looked at each other. Barlow, who pretended not to hear anything, said, "Your Excellency Barlow, after half an hour, you will open the city gate and let that ancient relic in, and in this half an hour, we will make some arrangements." What happens half an hour later, you definitely can't see or hear. Do you understand? ”

Barlow nodded.

Philox turned and left, four hundred knights already on standby in the inner city, and when her figure disappeared from the walls, Barlow had a smug smile on his face. This tiger fights. There will be a wound. If Philox wins, then he feels like he's going to vent his anger, after all, the last time Chen Xiansong threatened him in the middle of the night, it caused a big blow to his heart.

If Chen Xiansong wins, then something will definitely happen to this woman, and when the time comes, he only needs to find a reason to accept those knights, even if there are only a few dozen knights left. It was also a great help for him and his family.

And under the city walls. Chen Xiansong sat in a chair and looked at the soldiers on the city wall, waiting in the rock core.

Ma Huameng was a little strange: "The appearance of the hovercraft is very strange, it stands to reason that these natives will definitely be scared when they see it, but for what they didn't attack us, obviously we are so close to the city wall!" ”

Chen Xiansong smiled and said, "When we passed by here before, we had a not-so-pleasant interaction with the city lord here, and the soldiers here have already seen our hovercraft, so they are not too afraid. I think someone should have gone and told the lord of the city that we were coming, and they would have opened the gates of the city in half an hour or an hour. ”

"Oh, you seem to be confident, huh?" Ma Huameng stared at Chen Xiansong, his expression a little strange. In other words, her mood has been very strange recently, obviously it seems that she has become very disgusted with Chen Xiansong, but she still can't help but run to chat with him.

"I am confident, but the source of confidence is not me, but Xiaomin." Chen Xiansong smiled, and after briefly explaining what happened, he continued: "As long as this city lord is still a little sensible, then he will definitely react, either open the door or fight us, but the latter option, no matter how you look at it, is asking for his own death, so he will probably open the city." ”

Ho...... Ma Huameng sighed softly, and didn't know what she meant. After a moment of silence, she returned to her stomach and went back to sleep.

Bai Qianxin looked at her, remembered her recent behavior, smiled slightly, and then continued to snuggle up to Chen Xiansong's side.

Messi's family of three continued to shrink in the corner, although Chen Xiansong has always wanted to be closer to them, but the identity between the two parties is a natural deep trench, Messi does not dare to jump over, and he doesn't even have the courage to take a look at the trench.

About half an hour later, the gates were opened and the drawbridge was lowered. Bai Min started the hovercraft and slowly drove into the city. As soon as they entered the city gate, the drawbridge was re-opened at a very fast speed, and Chen Xiansong saw several soldiers closing the city gate in a hurry through the glass window, and their expressions were even a little nervous.

Odd! There are no enemies in the vicinity, so why should they be nervous? Chen Xiansong thought for a while, and he suddenly said: "Xiaomin, Sister Qianxin, pay attention, I think something is wrong with the situation." ”

Hearing this, Bai Min immediately flew the height of the hovercraft to three meters, although the limit height of the hovercraft is five meters, but because of the 'wind carpet', such a height cannot be maintained for a long time, about ten minutes, and is generally used to cross some more complicated road sections.

And three meters above the ground, which is the safest and easiest height of the hovercraft, she is on guard, and Bai Qianxin also began to close her eyes, putting most of the chip's ability on hearing...... Although the wind from the hovercraft is loud, Bai Qianxin, who is inclined to go all out, can use the ability in the chip to calculate, block out noise, and improve his hearing ability.

After a while, she opened her eyes, and her sweet expression became cold: "Xiao Song, you are right, we are surrounded, about a hundred meters behind the house, there are between three hundred and four hundred cavalry on standby, and they surrounded it like a bag, and the comer is not good." ”

"Hey! Is this your faith? Ma Huameng opened his eyes, then sat up, with a strange sneer on his face.

Chen Xiansong also felt a little embarrassed, in his mind, Barlow should not have the courage to go against them again, unless something happens.

"Xiaomin, find a way to break through." Chen Xiansong hesitated for a while, in the simplest and most effective way you think, don't care about the enemy's casualties. ”

Bai Min nodded, and the speed of the hovercraft began to increase little by little.

Ma Huameng smiled: "I can see that you are still a little reluctant to kill the enemy, but you at least gave the right order, which is good." Because excessive kindness may not be rewarded. If you are just yourself, of course you can act according to your own ideas, but you now have relatives, wives, and lovers, and I heard Bai Qianxin say that you still have the people, and these people need your care, and if you die, it will definitely not be a good thing for them, so ...... You have to learn to be cruel, and that's good for everybody. ”

Chen Xiansong was silent for a while, and then said: "Strange, Hua Meng, I found that you love to preach to me recently, do you want to ......?"

"I'll kill you!" Ma Huameng gritted his teeth hatefully, and then lay down on the sofa again, muttering in his heart: I decided to ignore him a long time ago, why did I start again, damn it......

Chen Xiansong was a little helpless, he recently found that Ma Huameng's mood was getting more and more strange, could it be a menstrual period? He remembered that in the book "The Necessary Self-cultivation of Natural Persons and the View of the World", he said that natural women will always be quite irritable and capricious for a few days every month.

He muttered in his heart, the hovercraft drove faster and faster, and Chen Xiansong found that there was not a single pedestrian on this street. Rounding a street corner, Bai Min saw three rows of heavily armored cavalry in front of him...... Everyone was wearing heavy yellow armor, and their whole body was wrapped, revealing only a pair of eyes, and the war horses were also heavily armoured, so that the weight of the men and horses together was at least more than a ton.

Heavy cavalry!

Bai Min was stunned for a moment, and after a short calculation, she found a bad place. Because of the fact that it had just turned a corner, the speed of the hovercraft dropped a lot, and now the distance between the two sides is very close, and the other side is also a 'heavy unit', without enough speed, the hovercraft cannot rush through the opponent's defense.

Bai Min turned around and immediately told Chen Xiansong about the situation, he hesitated for a moment, and then said hatefully: "Next time, I must add a battering blade in front of the hovercraft!" Xiao Min, rising to a height of five meters, can you rush over their heads. ”

"Yes!" Bai Min replied: "But there is an unexpected factor, the enemy does not use anti-elemental arrows, so they have long-range attack capabilities, after the hovercraft rises to a height of five meters, the center of gravity will become unstable, and once it is attacked by enough kinetic energy, it may fall."
