38. Exquisite Ancient City
Although Punavi was hit by a sword in the lower abdomen, but after Claude's treatment, the injury was not very serious, and at this time he had already come to his senses, carefully carried Punar to the soft bed in the car and put it down, and then returned to the front of the car, and drove the giant armored beast cart with his whip, and galloped towards the direction of the Nile.
Although Jiajing was worried about Punawi's abdominal injury, except for Punawi, there was no second one here who could drive the giant armored beast car, and Claude had to stay in the car to take care of Punaar, so Jiajing had to let him go.
Punavi was very nervous about his eldest brother's injury, and drove the giant armored beast all the way quickly, fortunately, this mountain road was opened up by the joint efforts of monster hunters and medicine pickers to make a living in the Alps, and the whole body was spacious and smooth, and it took Punavi more than an hour to bring Jiajing and others to the west bank of the Nile Bridge connecting the two countries.
The Nile Bridge is built on a gentle flow of water, with a total length of nearly 300 meters, the bridge body is made of granite and steel cables, and there are 17 giant piers with a diameter of up to three meters under the bridge, which are used to support the entire Nile Bridge, and the two widest piers in the middle are separated by 30 meters, and the bridge body is more than 10 meters higher than the water surface, so that all kinds of large ships can pass freely.
This bridge is built by the cooperation of two empires, using more than 10,000 workers, more than 300 magicians, can be called the architectural miracle of the Western Continent, only this bridge has been famous in the mainland, in addition to some of the exquisite people who enter the mountains to make a living and the Athena people who enter the exquisite business often come and go, there are many outsiders for sightseeing, admiring it.
Located on the east bank of the Nile, the terrain of the Elite Empire is completely different from the hilly mountainous terrain on the west bank, and there is an endless savannah!
There was no such danger as the Alps, and for fear that Athena's army would unknowingly cross the Nile and launch a sneak attack, they stationed a lot of troops nearby, and those who came to visit the travelers were tired of strolling, so they always needed an inn to rest and find some shops to relax.
The empire built such a large city near the Nile Bridge, which was prosperous, and the permanent population of the city was probably more than four or five hundred thousand, compared to the small city of Star Picking City, which only had about 100,000 people, the scale of this town in the Elite Territory was indeed much larger.
The Athena Empire's troops stationed on the west bank of the Nile were only for early warning purposes, with only about 2,000 men.
Those soldiers guarding the bridge, when they saw the viscount rune that Jiajing carried on their chests, immediately showed great enthusiasm. When I heard Jiajing say that they had just been robbed by three bandits halfway through, the guards were seriously injured and urgently needed to cross the bridge to seek medical treatment. Not only did they immediately let Jiajing and his party go unimpeded, but several soldiers also volunteered to escort Jiajing and his party all the way to Chunmiao City, where they were in the exquisite territory, and took him to find a well-known healer in the city.
These soldiers knew that if they stayed in the West Bank to guard their border bridge, they would have no chance of promotion.
They were stationed here, at best, as a formality for the Athena Empire. Let's not talk about whether the Elite will invade the Empire from here, even if it will, the Elite Empire's secrecy work will definitely be the best, and they will definitely race against time to wipe out all the soldiers stationed here to avoid leaking the news.
Even if he escapes and issues a harrier eagle alarm, at most it is just a report of the credit, and in the end, whether he can cross the heavy mountain, escape the robbers and poisoners, and go back to the palace to receive the reward is a big problem, so now everyone sees Jiajing, an imperial nobleman, running to this remote place with mountains and mountains, and they can't go all out to curry favor.
Although Jiajing is just a small viscount, his identity is rewarded by the lord of the fief, and there is a world of difference between him and nobles such as earls, marquises, and dukes, but if he does not have some relationship with the lord, the lord will not give the title casually.
You know, this is a big process that has to be reported to the empire every minute, and the procedures are extremely cumbersome.
In addition, everyone saw that it was the warrior of the bear clan who was driving, although they didn't know that it was the legendary Lucius violent bear, but they wanted to let the bear warrior of Kasia drive, which is enough to show that Jiajing's identity is extraordinary, as for the old man who was responsible for taking care of the bear warrior in the car, wearing a robe, he knew at a glance that he was a magician, which even more set off that Jiajing has great ability, looking at the Western Regions Continent, no matter which family, they all regard hiring magicians to work as their financial and power to show off their capital.
All kinds of appearances made these soldiers insist that Jiajing was a noble person from a certain big family.
Although they had never heard of the Yanjing family, they thought about it: this continent is vast, and it is not uncommon for a big family to live in seclusion.
At the moment, he didn't dare to slack off at all, he just wanted to have a good relationship with Jiajing, and be courteous to him, so that Jiajing could casually help them with a few kind words after he went back, so that the boss could quickly transfer them back.
The squad leader on duty instructed the two soldiers to bring medicine and bandages to Punavi and bandage Punavi's wounds, and then he drove himself towards the east bank of the bridge.
This squad leader seems to be familiar with the road, he should be a frequent visitor to the Chunmiao City on the other side, and the elite soldiers on the opposite side also know him, seeing him personally drive people across the bridge, he wanted to check it according to the usual practice and then let them go, but Na Jiajing was afraid that these guys would delay the time to save people, so he took out more than a dozen gold coins and handed them to those elite soldiers, and passed the sentry in a hurry, and saw that the squad leader and the two soldiers in the car had their eyes shining.
The team leader who drove the car was also very familiar with the interior of Chunmiao City, and as soon as he crossed the Nile Bridge and walked along the open road, he took Jiajing and his party all the way to the gate of Chunmiao City.
Because of the large number of people coming and going, the garrison soldiers of Chunmiao City became very lax in their inspection of pedestrians, and at this time, they saw that the captain of the team on the other side actually drove in person. Even though he was a little surprised at how the originally luxurious giant armored beast car was so damaged, he still just smiled and said hello to the team leader, and let them enter the city without stopping them.
The soldiers of Athena and the elite who guarded the Nile did not make each other hostile to each other because of the different countries they belonged to.
The streets of the city are very wide, and the main road can even accommodate three of these giant armored beast chariots passing side by side.
There are not many vehicles in the city, and there are no congested roads in the city until now.
The squad leader didn't dare to drag off at all, he was still moving forward at full speed in the city, and the pedestrians crossing the road were almost hit, and they were so frightened that they ran away, panicked and dodged, and turned their heads to see the noble runes hanging on the car, and saw that it was actually the squad leader in soldier clothes who drove the car himself, everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they had to suffer this dumb loss themselves.
