Chapter 185: The Thieves' Town
readx;? On the way to Falcon Town, Lin Ye had already figured out a question, the reason why His Majesty the Emperor had sent Wallis to the Far East. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Definitely not for the sake of the so-called concealment on the surface, the sudden disappearance of the palace governor will make anyone curious and go to the bottom of it.
Therefore, he chose Wallis on purpose to show people, which means that the news of Lin Ye's entry into the royal capital has already spread.
Although for the time being, Lin Ye still doesn't know what position he, the Duke of the Far East, occupies in the game of the royal capital.
But he knew that the closer he got to the royal capital, the heavier the choices he would face, and sooner or later the people of the four princes would come into contact with him.
After the recent assassination, he also saw that some people didn't want him to go to the royal capital, so he moved forward in a low-key manner.
It's better to make a big show and make it known to everyone, so that at least the other party throws a mouse trap and does not dare to blatantly carry out assassination.
Of course, if he was only a duke in the middle of nowhere, I am afraid that no one would buy him.
But the key is that he holds the edict of His Majesty the Emperor, he entered the royal capital on the order of the emperor, and the local officials no longer give him face, but they dare not ignore the golden lion edict.
This is also the reason why Vant was able to successfully bring the border guards.
He also took the opportunity to gauge the personnel and equipment of the Imperial soldiers.
White's army is part of Stormstorm Fortress, which is an important bulwark in the northern part of the empire, according to information available to Lin Ye.
Responsible for defending against the invasion of the nomads of the northern steppes.
The Stormwind Legion can be called the mainstay of the northern part of the empire, both in terms of personnel and sophistication, it is a well-deserved elite.
Of course, there is still a certain gap between the border guards and the Storm Legion.
However, under measurement, the combat effectiveness of the border defense corps is probably equivalent to the level of the reserve militia of the Heishui River.
I just don't know which of the main forces of the Storm Legion is superior to the new army under Lin Ye compared to each other.
It was a question he was very curious about, and one that he best looked forward to not happening.
The next day, the news that the Coyote Mercenary Regiment had been taken away by the border guards quickly spread throughout Falcon Town, and the townspeople celebrated with each other.
Obviously, they were very dissatisfied with what the Coyote Mercenary Group had done, but they just couldn't help them.
After dawn, Lin Ye and his party continued to hurry, and their next destination was Streamer Town.
Before leaving, Bluestar took her younger siblings and watched the carriage escorted away by the soldiers from a distance.
Lin Ye opened the curtain and happened to see her.
The carriage drove away slowly, without stopping, and it was not known if she would actually go to Dawn.
However, he told White to take care of this girl from the north, even if she didn't go to Dawn Town, there would be no big problem in Falcon Town, just a meeting in Pingshui, and that's all he could do.
Streamer Town was about a four-day drive from Falcon Town, and the soldiers had already left after being escorted for a while.
On the way to Streamer Town, you can see the frequent movement of cavalry, after all, it is on the northern border, close to the prairie.
It is very convenient to get war horses in this kind of area, and the Storm Legion is known for its cavalry troops, which are powerful and march like a storm.
Lancelot's eyes were blazing when he saw the cavalry that frequently moved north.
It was not easy to get a war horse in the Far East.
The three new armies were all infantry, and Lin Ye could understand Lancelot's desire to build a cavalry unit.
But that's still something that has to be figured out slowly.
With such frequent movements of the army, it seems that something big is really happening in the north, but I don't know if this has some kind of connection with Wang Du.
"I have been engaged in construction in the Far East for so long, and I am really out of touch with the whole society. Lin Ye laughed at himself.
At the current rate, you will be able to reach Streamer Town at dusk.
During these four days, they passed through the territory of several towns, but they did not stop.
To get to Rock City, the capital of the Obsidian Province, the Streamer Town is the straightest shortcut.
"Didn't the little ghost of the Black Fire family say that he would take the adults to eat delicious food? If this continues, I will be starved and thin. ”
In the carriage, the little pink pig Chick slapped his stomach with a bitter face.
After so many days away from the Far East, it began to miss the food in town.
Why did you believe that girl's words at that time, and run out with this kid to suffer?
"That is, boy, I warn you, Lord Chick is the supreme being, and you can't do that with it. Coco crossed her waist.
It never had the slightest affection for Lin Ye from beginning to end.
Now that even Lord Chick has taken the lead in expressing his protest, it is natural that it will not miss this opportunity.
"Don't worry, it won't take long to arrive in Streamer Town, I remember seeing in the food guide, the specialty food of Streamer Town is...... Beef apple pie or what?" Lin Ye thought for a moment.
I don't know if he's really seen it, or if he's talking nonsense.
"Oh, apples, my lord, I like apples the most, and I'm really looking forward to it." 'Loftus-Cheek looked very excited.
"Master Chick, you can't be bought by him just because of a little apple, you must punish him, punish him. ”
Coco pointed to the forest leaves to fan the flames.
But Lulu slapped its head,
"Coco, you can't sow discord, this kind of behavior is very bad. Lulu corrected.
"Why are you beating me? You have to use bad means against bad people, boy, don't be too complacent, I'm going to give you some color sooner or later!"
Coco wrapped her arms around her little hands and twisted her head to the side to stop talking.
"Don't make any noise. Fante was awkwardly acting as a peacemaker on the side.
The talking pig and the mole would be very surprised if this scene fell in the eyes of others.
However, Van has long been accustomed to this.
"Is this Streamer Town ahead? This smoke ...... It doesn't look like cooking smoke. ”
Lin Ye ignored the fight between them and looked out the window, the outline of the town appeared not far away, and smoke rose in the air.
If it's a regular cooking smoke, the smoke is definitely white.
But the smoke rising at this time was black.
Lin Ye had a bad omen in his heart.
After about half an hour, the outline of the town became clearer, and the air smelled of burnt and blood.
When the carriage slowly stopped, Lin Ye could already hear the cries around him.
"Your Excellency. Lancelot opened the door.
"What's going on outside?" Lin Ye asked as he got out of the car.
He looked around and saw that a large number of houses had been burned down, and smoke still remained on the wooden beams, apparently just set on fire.
The bodies of more than a dozen adults lay on the side of the road, all of them pierced by sharp weapons, and the wounds were brutal.
There were old people sitting on the side of the road crying bitterly.
"It looks like it's just been attacked by thieves. Lancelot said with a heavy face. (To be continued.) )
