Chapter 48: Entering the City (I)
There were dozens of carts in the team of the Lord of Rex, and with Faeron there, the food did not have to be carried by the car, and it was all tents and the like. These cars were exquisitely constructed, and they were not much slower than horses on the official roads of the Qin Yin Empire.
All the way away, the trackers of Hadi Sai City ran for two hours, and they didn't touch the shadow of the Bitter Water Army.
More than forty light horsemen had to go back in despair, turning a wood, and three people stood in the middle of the road, blocking the way. Although these more than forty light horsemen lacked actual combat, the worst was also a high-level swordsman, and they immediately dispersed, drew out their riding swords, and surrounded the three people.
The trio wore linen shirts of the same color, had no weapons in their hands, and were all wearing metal gloves. The light rider at the head sneered and stepped on his horse. The dress of these three people is obviously from the West, and it is not good to stop here.
The three people who stood in the way were all short-haired, high-nosed, and deep-eyed. Seeing someone rushing to trample on horseback, the three people moved their positions, two of them punched from the side, and the metal fist of the person on the left smashed directly on the riding sword, smashing the riding sword close to a finger thick, making a crisp sound. The fist of the man on the right hit the thigh of the light horseman, and the sound of the terrible bones shattering sounded, and the war horse could not withstand the force of this punch and fell to one side.
The war horse fell to the ground, spitting blood, and the light horse on the horse was guessed on the head by the person on the other side, and with a pop, the brain in the skull spurted out, but the skull was not damaged.
When the leader was killed, these light horsemen immediately rushed forward with their swords, the length of which was suitable for horse warfare, and as long as the strength was sufficient, it was better than a war sword, and when it stabbed straight, it could break through the armor. All three of them were not armoured, and their slashing skills were enough to deal with.
The three men in the middle of the road were not nervous, they stood back to back, the three riding swords were slashed at the head, and the three of them staggered one step further, this time grabbing the riding swords with both hands and pulling the knight off the horse. Three war horses blocked the attack behind, and at this time, dozens of feathered arrows suddenly flew out of the woods, and more than a dozen light horsemen were shot off their horses unexpectedly.
The besieged three people suddenly burst out with great power, the surface of their bodies emitted a white light, their figures became blurred, and the metal fists on their hands burst out of the divine text, floating in the air.
The sound of metal breaking through the air was heard, and before the three light horsemen could see what was happening, they were shattered by a punch to the bones in their chests. The three of them leaped like flying, and killed more than ten people in the blink of an eye.
The rest of the light horsemen saw that the situation was not good, and they turned their horses' heads one after another, and they were about to flee. The attack and defense were reversed, and the three men in linen shirts grabbed their swords, jumped on the horses that had lost their owners, and chased after them.
After chasing more than ten miles, the three of them killed all the more than 40 light horsemen and rode north.
After more than an hour, more than 100 cavalrymen came from the main road to the west and saw the corpses on the road. Several soldiers jumped off their horses, examined the corpses, and said to the officer in charge, "It's Caia. ”
The officer saw that all the heads of his companions had been cut off and rolled on the side of the road, and his heart was inexplicably sad and indignant.
"Kushui Army, I see how you explain to Your Majesty, pack it up and take it back, you don't have to chase it. "The officer knew that if he really continued to chase, it would be the same fate. The strength of the Kushui Army is strong, and it is not something that can be defeated by a person from his own brigade.
Slowly moving forward, the cavalry came to the vicinity of the woods, and when they saw all the corpses and the dozens of feathered arrows, they were even more sure that this was the work of the Bitter Water Army. Feather arrows are the standard equipment of the empire, all of which are sharp steel arrow clusters, which can break armor, and the arrow feathers are made of more valuable carved feathers.
This kind of cyan carved mercenary was not allowed to be used, nor was it allowed to be used by the nobles' private soldiers, and could only be seen in the regular army of the Empire.
The Kushui Army didn't know that they had carried the black cauldron for others, but they just accelerated their march, almost twice as fast as before. There are no more lofty mountains and mountains east of the city of Hadisai, and the cavalry runs flat and flat.
Along the way, the Lord of Rex walked around the city, without contacting any nobles, and in less than ten days, he came to Holy Rock City.
Fifty miles outside the city, there was a small town, but it was used by the imperial garrison. When they arrived here, the Kushui army could not gallop on horseback, except for the cavalry who protected the county lord's vehicle, the rest of the soldiers had to dismount and walk.
Most of the mages in the main car of Rexshire were mages, and they didn't have to get out of the car, so they rode into the town.
The town is full of armies, and there are no people of the empire. Entering the town, Saleen sensed that the atmosphere of the whole town was extremely unusual. In the Bitter Water Army, Saleen felt that he was protected by heavy metal, and he felt a sense of reassurance. And this town, although there is no aura of slaughter, but that pressure is directed against anyone who enters.
The soldiers patrolling the streets were heavily armoured, with short spears and alchemical crossbows hanging from their waists. This town guards Yanjing, is well-armed, and the soldiers who lead the team are all at the level of sword masters.
The lord was received by a young nobleman with a family crest on his armor, etched on his chest. This is at least the heir of a certain family, but here is a receptionist.
This young nobleman was handsome, shrewd and capable, and calmly commanded his subordinates to arrange a military camp for the Kushui Army.
Lord Rex got out of the car, and Salin and the others followed. Saleen discovers that after Lord Rex enters the town, his temperament suddenly changes. In Kushui County, Lord Rex is also reserved, and also has a natural noble temperament, but between him and the mage, he talks and laughs calmly, and he will not feel any coercion on her body.
But now, Lord Rex is obviously still that person, but he exudes a compelling power.
"Baron, thank you for your hard work. As soon as Lord Rex spoke, even his voice changed, no longer the slightly stiff tone of Kushui County, his voice was more crisp, and the tail note was not so short, a little entangled and ethereal. It sounds great, but it feels like a giant is thousands of miles away.
"Your Excellency, it is my business. "The young nobleman has not yet inherited the title, and it is only a habit for the Lord of Rex to call him a baron. He didn't dare to be presumptuous, and honored Rex as Your Excellency, naturally in order to get closer. Yanjing's army has always been in the hands of the emperor, and there is a contradiction between the county lord and the prince, everyone knows it in their hearts, but the prince can't manage it here, he naturally has to stand in the team, otherwise even the succession to the title is a problem.
"I'm tired of these people, with me. Lord Rex pointed to Faren and the others. The young nobleman glanced at it, saluted respectfully, and did not talk nonsense. A group of mages, even if there is no magician like Fei Lun, he doesn't want to offend. Several of the low-level mages that the county lord brought with him have already been promoted, and the great mage is a powerful force, except for the sword master, which can only be defeated by superior forces.
In addition to guarding Yanjing, this town was also responsible for receiving nobles who entered the city from the east. However, it is rare to have thousands of troops like Lord Rex, and it took more than half an hour to settle the Bitter Water Army.
The Qin Yin Empire admired art, but this is a military town, everything is based on sturdiness and durability, and the post house of the Lord of Rex is just a two-story building, with a huge granite base and a cyan rigid brick that is nearly two feet long, simple and heavy.
After everything was settled, the Lord of Rex stopped the young nobleman who was leaving, and asked, "Your father is Count Kant?"
"Yes. The young nobleman's face was as usual, without the slightest hint of flattery.
"What's your name?"
"Scott, Scott Frio, Your Excellency. ”
"How many years have you been here?"
"It's only been two years. Scott replied respectfully, also with some delight. The county lord asked him his name, because he planned to have a chance to carry him in the future. Although it is not a problem to say that he inherits the title, he also has a younger brother, and according to the laws of the empire, it is difficult to become a hereditary nobleman, at most he is an ordinary baron.
"Count Kant, I remember, I saw it many times when I was a child, is he okay?"
"It's okay, it's just that he doesn't lead the troops, His Majesty asked him to handle court affairs, and he plans to enter the House of Lords in a few years. ”
"yes, I see. Come over tomorrow afternoon before I go into town. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency. Scott smiled happily. The county lord asked him to come over just to ask him about the affairs in Yanjing. This is an obvious pull, Yanjing's news, there is no need to know it from him.
"Let's go down. Lord Rexshire yawned. Scott saluted and withdrew, barely holding back his laughter. It was rude to yawn in front of him, and the county lord deliberately did this to show closeness.
In Salin's room, Neris was already lying down, very sleepy. She ate the flesh and blood of the Silver Sword Saint, and also absorbed the power of the soul, so she had to digest it well.
Salin said to Sika, "I'm going to enter Holy Rock City tomorrow, and I have to remind you of something. It was the capital of the Qin Yin Empire, and the strong were like clouds. If anything happens, don't be in a hurry, everything has the county lord. ”
"What if someone bullies you?" asked Sika seriously.
"In the Yanjing of the Qin Yin Empire, no one will be rude to a mage. You're in trouble with this weapon too, you can keep the boomerang, and give me the club. ”
Imperial law, in Yanjing, it is not allowed to carry a sword more than three feet. This sword is not only a sword weapon, but no long weapon is allowed to be carried with you, unless it is a person licensed by Yanjing.
Sika nodded, and handed the stick to Sarin, who included it in the Ring of Bounty.
"Go and rest, tomorrow the county lord will tell you something. ”
"Okay, be careful. Schika reluctantly left. Salin patted the sleepy-eyed Neris and said, "Go down and sleep." ”
"The ground is so cold. Nellis opened her eyes, drowsy. She took off her coat, still dressed as before, and lay on the bed with a pitiful look.
Salin looked at the cold stone floor and lay helplessly beside Neris. Even knowing that she was a demon, Saleen didn't want to be really that ruthless and let Nellis sleep on a cold stone.
"The host ......"
"What?"
Call......
Saleen waited for a long time, and heard Neris's snoring.
