Chapter 102 Armed Convoys
The distance from the Knights' Temple to the port was five kilometers, and it was all rough mountain roads, but Taylor's carriage was not an ordinary car that could be rented casually by a horse and horse dealer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After dinner, at eight o'clock in the evening, Taylor finally walked down the tower with the help of his attendants.
Standing in front of the carriage, he did not get into the carriage, but asked the accompanying guards to carefully inspect the main axle of the carriage. Sure enough, in the most inconspicuous corner of that hardwood, a pattern of a skeleton and a staff intersecting was drawn.
Taylor's captain of the guard hesitated a little, checked the other devices of the carriage again, and confirmed that there was no problem, before cautiously asking, "Your Excellency, do you want to change the car?"
The old man smiled and shook his head: "If they really wanted to kill me, they wouldn't have mentioned this in the letter." Besides, I'm worth more alive than dead, haha!"
Mores couldn't laugh at it, even if he didn't consider his long-standing friendship with Taylor, just thinking about the impact that "the Archon may be in danger in his own territory" would have on the Knights, he didn't dare to relax at all.
Ten minutes later, the carriage entered the range of Layton Harbor.
It's winter, and although it hasn't snowed this year, the sea breeze is already quite cold. This tourist mecca also loses its summer hustle and bustle during the cold season, with a little light lazily shining through the tavern's ajar doors, and most of the locals and the few tourists who hide around their fires to keep warm.
The streets were deserted, and for half a day only Taylor's group of carriages and horses drove slowly.
With half an hour to go before nine o'clock, Taylor had the convoy stop two blocks outside the docks. In the eyes of outsiders, he is very bold. But if he hadn't been cautious all the time, as a thorn in the side of Black Sails and the Empire, how could Taylor live to be seventy-eight years old?
He sent a team of guards to survey the area around the docks, while another team and the Sea Knights led by Mores continued to keep watch around the convoy.
Twenty minutes later, the guards returned, and the road to the dock seemed to be in order, even the debris piled up on the side of the road had been carefully examined.
"Then go ahead. Don't be late. Taylor ordered.
Mores and Taylor rode in the same carriage, followed by six convertible vans for guard, followed by twenty well-armed cavalry escorts and twelve heavily armed sea knights.
With such combat power, even if the other party sends a team of 100 people, it will probably be difficult to capture for a while. What's more, Taylor's carriage has several layers of armor on it, and there is a hidden mini-cannon at the front and rear of the car.
It's just that Taylor and Mores didn't notice that there was a faint silver glimmer of magic on the rocky ground where their wheels were passing.
When the hooves of the last few sea knights stepped over, those glimmers suddenly condensed, and a clear circle appeared on the ground. In an instant, a thick cloud of smoke rose from this circle, and without making any sound, it swallowed up the four figures who walked at the end.
Then there was another circle, four more knights.
......
This kind of magic circle is not easy for Luca, the level 2 spell summoning mist of the summoning system and the level 2 spell stun technique of the spirit system are not auxiliary magic, and they cannot be combined when used directly. But when he set the way of summoning the mist on the ground in the form of a magic circle, and then added the stun spell to the top, the effects of the two spells became one.
Lukka hadn't studied the magic circle much before, and the affinity of the spiritual department was really pitiful, and he finally succeeded after fumbling and practicing several times, and when he finished casting the spell on the road to the trestle, he was sweating profusely.
However, the actual effect was really good, and by the time Taylor's carriage stopped in front of the pier, the rear was empty, and the entire convoy was left with only two people in the car and the driver who was driving the car.
The coachman didn't dare to let Taylor out, but went around the carriage to check it. As he reached the rear of the car, the circle flashed again. Now, there are only two people left.
Taylor didn't hear any movement outside for a long time, so he opened the door and got out of the car, looking at the dense fog behind him, and was surprised. But after all, he was well-informed, reached out and pressed Mores's right hand, which was about to draw his sword, and whispered, "Don't be impulsive yet, I think they're watching." ”
Lukka sat in the captain's cabin of the Peregrine Falcon, looking in the mirror, pleased with the effect of his magic.
Shut up on the roof of the carriage shivered with the wind, and muttered, "You're not cold, I'm a tropical parrot!"
Seeing that Taylor and Mores were still next to the carriage and did not move forward, they closed their mouths and spread their wings and flew down, landing on the railing of the trestle and clearing their throats: "Two of you, please go this way!"
Mores asked Taylor with his gaze, and the old man nodded without hesitation and said, "Let's go with it, anyway, we don't have a way back now, do we?"
Yes, except for the trestle, the roads in all directions are filled with thick fog. Mores could only follow Taylor, but his right hand never left the hilt.
The two men followed the sneezing parrot up the deck of the Quarry and into the captain's cabin.
The already small cabin was now filled with seven people, which was a bit cramped. Lukka also moved the cupboard that took up the space ahead of time, and only put two rows of chairs and a table. No way, this was already the most spacious cabin on the Peregrine Falcon, and he was reluctant to take the two of them to the Silent Death.
Without too much pleasantry, Taylor just walked up to Lukka and held out his hand.
Instead of stretching out his hand, Lukka looked the old man up and down.
"You're a little polite, okay?" Mores on the side couldn't stand it.
"I'm a pirate, okay? Do pirates still need to study your manners?" Lukka said with a sense of urgency, but shook Taylor's hand.
Once both sides were seated, Taylor spoke first: "Captain Lester, I apologize to you for the letter mentioning your merchant ship, it was entirely my idea, please don't anger Lord Mores and our retinue." ”
"That's easy to say, I've paid tribute to it anyway, those followers, at least they're safe now. Lukka waved his hand, "Needless to say, what are you looking for me for?"
Taylor also nodded happily: "Then I'll just say it, you should know this thing, right?"
As he spoke, he took out a small wooden box from his pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it over.
Lukka stretched out his hand to open it, he was no stranger to the contents inside, he had had a confrontation with the strange divine power attached to this compass on the temple tower a few months ago.
He nodded: "I've seen it, but I said it last time, and I don't know the power on it." ”
"I'm not here to ask you this, on the contrary, we've figured out what this thing is for. Taylor said with a smile.
