"I say, when do you think the coalition forces will be able to capture Milin City and defeat Wren?", the knight took out a crudely made and low-quality pipe, took out a flint and scraped it with a knife he carried with him, and sparks froze, and also ignited the inferior tobacco in the pipe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe smoke from the Dragon Island Tobacco Bricks was cyan when they were lit, but this inferior tobacco from Orlando was yellow and choking.

In the wilderness, two knights rode their horses slowly along the predetermined path, and the other knight looked at the yellow smoke that drifted around and finally dispersed, frowned, and said nothing. He thought for a moment and said, "It should be soon, the coalition army assembled by the patriarch has already placed troops outside Milin City, and it is said that it may capture Milin City at any time." Once Mirin City is captured, Rennes, who owns two cities, will not be a big problem. ”

Contrary to what the big men think, these low-level soldiers and civilians don't think of Wren as a great opponent, and they value the more symbolically tall city of Millin. The fall of the city of Mireen meant that the sovereignty of the entire province of Bell was reversed, and the rule of the empire was transferred to the coalition forces. This kind of concept is very prevalent, and this is also the result of vision, perhaps in the eyes of these people, the purpose of the coalition is only to draw the land and rule, nothing more.

The knight with the pipe snorted twice, with a contemptuous and indifferent expression, and commented on Wren in a disdainful tone, "I've always heard that Wren and his Black Armor are very powerful, but now it seems that this is just a rumor of rumors. If he is really like what people say, one person can be worth ten people, why does he not stand still and dare not attack the coalition army to relieve the siege of Milin City? This time, it is really a pity that the patriarch did not bring me, and I also want to personally cut off a few heads of the black armor army as the capital for promotion. ”

"You?", the other knight looked each other up and down, and then laughed, "Don't be kidding, every time you train a few of you to cheat and slip, you are the first few to withdraw from the battlefield, just like this, how many enemies do you have to kill?" ”

The knight's face suddenly turned red, and they all said that beating people does not slap people in the face, and scolding people does not expose their shortcomings, but his shortcomings were exposed, and he took the pipe in his hand in anger and shouted angrily, "I just ...... I'm just too lazy to do those playful games, if I really want to go to the battlefield, you can see if I can kill the enemy!"

The knight on the opposite side also knew that this guy was a donkey, and after laughing at him, he immediately calmed down, "Okay, I'll definitely take a good look, future noble lord." ”

"That's pretty much it!", the knight triumphantly shoved his pipe into his mouth again.

As he spoke, a caravan appeared in the distance, and the two of them suddenly woke up, they were sentinels belonging to the city of Candela, responsible for searching for enemy information within a radius of twenty kilometers of the city. In fact, neither they, including their commanders, did not think that it was necessary to expand the reconnaissance range to twenty kilometers during this period, and it was completely sufficient to keep it within ten kilometers. The allied army of more than 50,000 troops was fully pressed towards the city of Millin, and Rennes was far away in Ortrenburg, and the newly appointed lord of the city of Veneer, Borson, had only enough troops to defend and could not attack.

Under such circumstances, Candela is absolutely safe, and it is impossible for anyone to attack the city, and looking at the entire territory of Bell Province, there is no other enemy at this moment except for Wren.

Therefore, the two sentry horses did not rush along the way, did not hide their whereabouts, and did not even pay attention to the strictly forbidden smoking behavior. They also urinated a few times during the investigation, and if the captain of the sentry horse knew, a whip would be indispensable, and they would not be able to get out of bed for ten days and half a month.

The knight with the pipe in his mouth took the pipe in turn and slammed it on the palm of his other hand a few times, and the tobacco with sparks fell out and fell to the ground. He put his pipe into the leather bag on the side of the saddle and pulled out the kettle to extinguish the sparks on the ground. The two looked at each other, drew the long sword fixed on the shelf on the side of the saddle, and slowly approached the caravan that was getting closer and closer.

The leader of the caravan was fat, fat, with fine skin and tender meat, and a big belly, and at first glance he was a pampered person. He sat in a covered carriage, which was so hot that many people like to remove it during the summer months to avoid the rising heat in the small space. The carriage was followed by fifty or sixty guards, followed by six huge carriages. The carriage has been modified, the deck is submersible, and the distance between the bottom of the carriage and the ground is only about 10 centimeters.

Each carriage was pulled by three tall horses, which seemed to be struggling as well, and the occasional sound of metal crashing could be heard in the swaying carriage.

The two knights put away their weapons and leaned over, standing on the side of the road, separated by more than ten meters, with the horse's head following the direction of the road, so that they could leave quickly in case of emergency, and there was no need to turn the horse's head and delay time.

"Who are you, where are you from, where are you going, what are you in the car?", the knight raised a small banner with the family coat of arms on it, "We are Candela's sentinels, you don't have to worry. ”

The caravan guards were still looking at them nervously, which made the two knights feel funny in their hearts, only two of them were enough to make the other so nervous, these guards were afraid that they were all good, maybe a charge could break up their formation. Of course, they don't show that deep contempt on their faces, after all, the merchant group is also very strong now, especially after the establishment of the trade union party founded by Sarcomo, the social status of the merchant has once again increased significantly.

The fat merchant raised his hand with a smile, and on his fingers as thick as a pineapple were four gold rings encrusted with broken gems, and in his hand he held a palm-sized disc with a balance in the center, and on each side of the scale were gears and wrenches.

This is the emblem of the trade unions, the scales indicate the fairness of the transaction, and the gears and wrenches symbolize the working class.

"We're from Lilith and we're in a shipment of steel ingots that we're going to Candela to sell. By the way, I am a member of the Coalition Party. The businessman took back the party emblem and stuffed it into his arms, staring at the two businessmen with small eyes in his squinted eyes, his face calm and calm.

The two sentry riders suddenly became more relaxed, they thought for a moment, and then one of them said: "I see, I have heard that most of the workshops in the city have stopped recently, and you have come at the right time, and you will definitely make a lot of money this time." Saying that, he showed an envious look on his face, these six cars of steel ingots can definitely be sold at a price that is usually unimaginable.

Since Wren proposed that steel be included in the list of regulatory resources, the output of various mines has dropped dramatically, leaving workshops in many places in the embarrassing situation of running out of raw materials. The price of steel is rising every day, and it has increased by more than 50% compared with last year, and the price of steel in some remote places has doubled.

"Alright, you can keep walking. The other knight waved his whip and prepared to continue his patrol.

The merchant stretched out his hand to stop him, and his smiling facial features were crowded together, "Two knights, why don't you two go on the road with us, the war is not peaceful now, and it will be bad if you encounter a robber or something." As soon as the knight was about to refuse, the merchant offered a price they couldn't insist on, "I'll pay you two a gold coin, which counts the cost of the guards, how about it?"

The knight's heart was immediately moved, now that the price of goods has risen wildly, the original salary is only enough for them to barely survive, if they can get an extra fifty silver coins, at least for two months they do not need to worry about the livelihood of the family, and there is spare money to enjoy life. The two of them immediately agreed, "Yes, but if the Shangguan asks you, you will say that you met us sixteen or seventeen kilometers away from the city, and we are just walking together." ”

The merchant nodded, and accepted it.

Along the way, the merchants were like a river, and they described some local customs and interesting things that they had never heard of, which made them addicted, and the relationship with the merchants became much more cordial. Coupled with the gold coins as a favor, the three of them immediately became one, especially when they heard that the merchant's family property had thousands of gold coins, they showed a greedy look, and they wanted to immediately kneel on the ground according to the merchant's head, and become brothers under the witness of their ancestors.

Seeing that the city was getting closer and closer, the two sentry riders also restrained the smiles on their faces, broke away from the caravan, and kept a certain distance.

When they reached the city gate, the two sentry rode their horses and galloped back, and then came out again in a moment.

The soldiers in charge of the city's defense stopped the caravan, and the six wagons of the caravan were inspected, and the steel ingots stacked inside were shining with metal. But these soldiers were not willing to stop there, and also checked the household registration and certificates of the entourage, at this time the merchant hurriedly stood up and stuffed a small money bag into the arms of one of the leaders, "We are all ordinary merchants, and we sell some ordinary materials, there is nothing illegal, my lord, you must be as wise as a torch, and you can distinguish clearly." ”

He accentuated his tone on the ordinary supplies, and the soldier leader was stunned for a moment, and he had an idea in his heart. At this time, the steel ingots were all materials subject to supervision and supervision, and they were all sensitive things, how could they be ordinary materials? He checked the money bag in his hand, and the sentry rider on the side also leaned over and said a few good words for the merchants, and the soldiers let go of the rejection horses and let the caravan continue to move forward.

The two knights had finished their work by this time, and were talking and laughing with the merchants, and when the procession was halfway through the city gate, the wheels of the two carriages suddenly cracked with a click, and suddenly stopped directly below the city gate. (To be continued.) )
