427. Then arrive at the city of Bena
In the third winter after Duke Newman led the Bednar Legion into the Warsaw Plane, although the Bednar Legion occupied a large area of plains on the Warsaw Plane, the eastern part of the Gandar Ear Mountains and the Pasyedi River Valley, and drove the local natives into the depths of the Gandaer Mountains, and at the same time, the Demon Legion in Handanaar County was completely wiped out.
Now, the only stronghold of the Demon Legion in the eastern part of Gandaur Mountain is Moyun Ridge, a hundred miles away from the forest farm, which is more like a nail firmly stuck in the western theater of the Bednar Legion, and Duke Newman mobilized four Constructed Knights and nearly 10,000 heavy cavalry to hoard in the forest camp to effectively suppress the Demon Legion on Moyun Ridge.
Although Handanaar has developed a total of four cities, developed a large area of agricultural land and pastures, and there are fourteen forest farms and three mines in the eastern part of the Gandaer Mountains alone, which are continuously transporting huge wealth to the Grand Duke of Newman, the entire Bednar army is pinned down in the Warsaw plane, which also makes it difficult for the Duke of Newman to choose.
With the possession of the Warsaw plane, the relationship between Duke Ryan of the Bussman family and the royal family of Angel Bold continued to deteriorate. The Duke of Bussman returned to the Warsaw plane in disgrace, and the Royal Knights under the command of the Prince of Wales withdrew from the Warsaw plane one after another, and the Bussmann legion suffered two consecutive defeats in the last two months on the Warsaw plane, causing the demon legion that had been suppressed on the north bank of the Kempato River to remove.
If Duke Newman wants to keep a large area of rich land on the Warsaw plane, he must lead the Bednar Army to garrison Handanar County, and the huge cost of the Bednar Army every day makes this rich land a chicken rib in the eyes of the Duke of Newman.
But if you want to give up your immediate vested interests, if the legion wants to withdraw completely, it will not only have to give up all the wealth of Handanar County, but also face high military expenses and large bounties, which involve the interests of many noble lords, so the big lords of Bena Province will also agree to withdraw their troops from the Warsaw plane, not to mention, they will also use Epson City to pass through the portal there.
Ryan. Duke Bussmann probably won't easily let the Bednar legion withdraw from the Warsaw plane.
In this dilemma, the maca plane owned by Duke Newman was actually attacked by the Hellhound Legion, and the outbreak point of the war was located in the main city of Warzhmara, which is close to the Maca plane, in just half a month, dozens of villages and towns around Warzhmara City were slaughtered by Hellhounds, and the defense line of the Maca plane shrank sharply, and the guards of Warzhmara City did not dare to go out of the city, fearing that the city of Warzhmara would fall, and the most important portal in the center of the city would be occupied by the Hellhound Army, which would be the worst thing, At that time, unless the portal to the Maca plane is completely destroyed, it will be equivalent to the Hell Demon Clan opening a connection channel to attack the Roland Continent.
In the midst of this emergency, the House of Representatives of Bena Province issued a conscription order to the various cities to summon the existing Guards Battalion Knights into the Maca Plane to sweep away the Hellhound Legion that was raging everywhere in the Maca Plane.
……
Surdak followed the Hylanza City Guard Battalion and rushed to Pena City overnight in a magical airship.
It takes half a month for a magic airship to make a round trip from Pena City to Highlandsa City.
Above the sea of clouds, the envoy of Bena City explained the current situation of the maca plane to the knights of the guard battalion of Hailanza City, but his news only arrived in Bena City 8 days ago, and now everything is unknown about the specific situation of the maca plane.
It can only be determined that the Hell Demon Clan only dispatched low-level hellhounds this time, and according to the calculations of the magicians in Bena City, it is probably because the teleportation channel to the Flame Hell is not stable enough, and it can only pass through low-level demonic beasts such as hellhounds.
This is a medium-sized magic airship, five hundred guards battalion knights plus dozens of crew members of the airship itself, so that the airship flies in the waterway with full load, and the fourteen floating devices do not stop from the moment they take off until they reach Bena City.
In the evening, the city of Bena is like a huge astrolabe inlaid with broken diamonds on the reckless earth.
Through the clouds and mist, I saw the lights lit up near the airport dock outside Bena City, like a group of fireflies flying in the air, and when I flew closer, I found that the lights that were bright and dark in the air were actually the guiding lights on the magic airship, and more than 20 magic airships floated in the sky outside the airport dock, slowly circling around the airport dock.
The airport wharf is already full of airships at the moment, and the workers on the wharf are like worker ants, constantly unloading a large number of materials from the airship, and the airport wharf outside the city is very lively.
"This is Bena, I haven't been here in almost three years!" Carl stood on the edge of the fence, looked at the bright sparks under his feet, and said with emotion.
Surdak passed through the city of Bena in the summer, but except for buying some jewelry and long dresses, he was in a hurry and did not stay in the city, and he did not have a deep impression of the city, except that when he passed the moat bridge, he saw several statues of heroes with large swords standing on both sides of the bridge.
Then he thought of the beautiful blonde girl who lived in the city, and Surdak thought to himself: Don't disturb her life.
Karl stabbed Surdak, who was a little distracted, and said excitedly, "Look, that airship is also full of knights. ”
Dozens of meters away, there was a larger airship that was riding side by side with Surdak in this airship, the two airships were a little close, and they were both gliding forward silently, and a knight on the side couldn't help but put his hand to his mouth, formed a horn shape, and shouted loudly to the opposite side: "Hey! Where are you from? We are from the city of Hylanza......"
Not to be outdone, the knight on the opposite airship shouted, "Hello, knights of the city of Hylanza! We are the Umezu Castle Guard Battalion! ”
“……”
The crew of the airship stood on the front of the deck, holding on to the railing in one hand and shaking the bright lantern in the other, for fear of rushing out of a magic airship to block the collision.
As the envoy of Bena said, knights were sent from all the cities of Bena Province.
When it was the Knight of Highlanza City to step off the airship, the magic airship hovered around the airport dock for most of the night.
Surdak and Karl honestly followed the knights down the tower, and the teams of knights under the airport all walked outside the airport, and Surdak also saw the white-haired old man who persuaded him to ride back to the city of Highlandza, at this moment he was wearing a thick leather jacket, carrying a kerosene lamp in his hand, and holding a command flag in his hand, and was directing traffic at the gate of the airport dock.
The cold wind of the night froze his face red, and a group of knights walked out of the airport, outside which was originally a very empty open field, but now there were all kinds of military supplies on the opposite side.
A group of knights, armed with torches and red armbands on their arms, rode back and forth around the perimeter of the pile of supplies.
Led by Viscount Emmett, the knights of the Haylanza Guard Battalion quickly assembled in four neat formations and walked along the road leading from the airport dock to Bena City, ready to enter the city on foot.
At this time, the airport dock outside the city was crowded with knights arriving one after another from other cities in Bena Province, and the magic caravans that could be rented in Bena City were already running at full capacity, Viscount Emmett did not bother with these magic caravans, he quickly gathered the knights of the guard battalion together, and the envoy of Bena City was going to the city to report his life, so Viscount Emmett decided to take the knights into the city and prepare to charter a hotel to sleep well first.
Five hundred knights had spent a long week huddled on a magic airship, and everyone needed a good warm bath and a good night's sleep.
No one knows what the situation of the maca plane is now, Viscount Emmett thinks that the knights must be in the most abundant state to enter the maca plane, so he does not wait for the unified dispatch of Bena City, and directly summons all the knights to enter the city on foot, although it is midnight, but a large number of materials and troops mobilized from all over the city need to enter the city, so the gates of Bena City are not closed all night.
Even the city walls were full of guards, all the bed crossbows placed at the commanding heights were lifted to cover the raincloth, sharp heavy crossbow arrows were mounted on the arrow slots, and they were ready to shoot at any time, and a group of knights walked along the avenue by the city wall to the city, and there were often archers on the city head to probe their brains to take a bird's eye view of the city, and there was a tense atmosphere everywhere.
The empty yard outside the airport terminal is full of boxes of materials, these materials are piled up, many materials are roughly marked with white chalk, there are too many materials, it looks messy, people have a kind of carrying a wooden box to run into the dark, no one will know. But then Surdak also saw that outside the yard, dozens of wooden crosses were nailed to both sides of the road, and almost a pauper was nailed to each of them.
On such a cold night, these poor people were almost bare-chested, barefoot, with their hands in iron nails, firmly nailed to wooden crosses, and around their necks hung all sorts of wooden signs, on which were written thieves, robbers, disturbers, and so on, among which thieves were the most called, and the stolen goods were placed at their feet, some of them were frozen hard, some of them were blue and their skin was dying and they were dying, and some were wailing in pain in the cold wind.
Surdak's gaze turned away from them, and he turned to look at the red armband riders who were running on horseback on the edge of the yard in the distance, their torches streaked through the night.
Viscount Emmett did not choose to let the knights enter the city at the main city gate, but led the knights of the guard battalion to continue to walk five kilometers upstream along the moat, and sure enough, the city gate on this side was also opened, and the convoy at the gate was not as exaggerated as the main city gate.
On the drawbridge, Viscount Emmett stood at the gate of the city with the other three captains of the guard battalion, and he asked the twenty-five squadron leaders in the guard camp to sort out the number of knights in his squadron, and each squadron needed to check the exact number of men when entering the city, so as not to let anyone mix in with the knights of the Hylanza guard battalion and enter the city.
This inn is a five-story building in a hollow shape, with neat windows lined up on the beige wall, and a row of waiters standing at the door of the inn hurriedly came up after seeing Viscount Emmett, and according to Viscount Emmett's instructions, the knights were divided into five teams and quickly placed in this hotel.
From the moment he stepped out of the magic airship, Surdak hadn't seen Lance and his magician friends again, as if they had suddenly disappeared into thin air.
And Viscount Emmett also fully demonstrated his connections, and quickly arranged for the knights to enter the city and found a place to live.
Surdak slept until noon, and when there was a continuous knock on the door in the corridor, he sat up from the bed suddenly, knowing that the guard battalion was about to assemble again, he hurriedly washed his face, and when he opened the door, he found that the corridor was already full of knights, and everyone walked into the restaurant of the hotel under the leadership of their respective squadron leaders.
The table was now full of sumptuous food, and Viscount Emmett and the other three captains stood in front of the main seat of the dining room, and the knights entered the empty seats of the dining room in order, and in front of each seat were plates, stews, pea puree, corn soup, and baked wheat cakes, and this dining room was large enough to accommodate five hundred knights of the guard battalion.
Before the official meal, Viscount Emmett stood up again, coughed lightly twice before saying to the knights:
"According to the arrangement of the command, it is the turn of our Hylantha Guard Battalion knights to enter the maca plane at eight o'clock tonight, the command requires us to assemble in front of Times Square before six o'clock, and be ready to enter the portal at any time, each knight is only allowed to wear full armor, wear a knight's sword and shield through the portal, and then you will also be part of the personnel transporting supplies, each knight will carry a box of supplies into the portal, even our captains are no exception."
Surdak didn't expect the mission to come so quickly, and he didn't even have time to rest in Bena City.
Viscount Emmett continued: "This time in the afternoon is free to move, but I don't recommend you to wander around the city of Bena, now the city is in a state of combat readiness, maybe any area will be temporarily blocked, if you are trapped somewhere, don't expect someone to rescue you, you must understand, I am just a small viscount, this is the central city of Bena Province, any person who passes by you may be an earl, dinner will start at four o'clock in the afternoon, okay, After lunch, you still have a little free time. ”
After saying that, Viscount Emmett waved his hand and motioned for the knights to start eating.
At this time, a squadron leader stood up and asked in a loud voice to Viscount Emmett, "Viscount Emmett, do you have any good suggestions for our plane mission this time?" ”
Viscount Emmett thought for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Well, if I want to give you some advice, if the economic conditions allow...... Then prepare a magic fanny pack for yourself and prepare some more supplies to bring into the maca plane. ”
"Didn't you say that the command would uniformly allocate supplies?" Another squadron leader asked bluntly.
Viscount Emmett smiled slightly, but the gaze in his eyes was slightly cold, and he said casually: "If the command can be deployed, there will be no need for us to carry the material box into the maca plane!" ”
Surdak and Karl glanced at each other, it seems that Viscount Emmett is still quite pessimistic about the situation in the Maca plane!
