Early morning in the city of Ewalson

The sky just lit up with a touch of fish belly white.

Under the blowing of the northwest wind, the scattered fallen leaves kept rolling forward against the stone path, and those leaves that had found a sheltered corner were so comfortably hidden, as if the troubles of this world had nothing to do with them.

The night watchman on the street had just turned off all the street lights, and hundreds of garbage trucks lined up at the west gate of the city.

The gate guard yawned and walked down from the city, hung the noose on the gate hook, pulled out the iron bolt inserted into the crack in the ground, and shouted to the city: "Turn the winch, open the door......

The black iron noose in the stone trough at the city gate began to slide slowly, and as the winch began to gradually exert force, the noose stretched straight, and the city gate was slowly pulled open by the noose.

The drawbridge in front of the city gate also slowly fell with a creaking sound, and those waiting at the city gate lined up to walk outside the city.

Seeing that the dung cart in front of him began to move slowly, the coachman sitting on the wheel immediately tapped the horse's stock with his whip, and the horse immediately followed the carriage in front of him.

The wheels of the carriage crunched against the planks of the drawbridge.

After crossing the city gate suspension bridge to the outside of the city, you have to walk along the road in front of you to the river bay three miles away, where the dung water is poured, and there is a small river next to it, and you can take a bucket of water by the river to wash the dung bucket on the carriage.

Across the river, you can see the barracks on the slope of the grassy ridge.

The coachman returned to the carriage with a bucket of water, stained the rim of the barrel with a water-soaked handle, and then scooped water out of the bucket and poured it on top of the barrel, so that the barrel could be easily rinsed.

"I heard that the army over there came from the province of Bena......" the coachman said with amazement, and at the same time lamented in his heart, the nobles of the province of Ivorson have not been so generous for a long time.

"There are more than 200,000 reinforcements, and there are more than 10,000 knights alone, I heard that this may be the last bit of money for the nobles and lords in Bena Province." The coachman in the back chimed in.

"The day before yesterday I went outside the city to see the excitement, guess what I saw...... The giant red ants, each stronger than a yak, had a pair of pincers on top of their heads...... Tsk, I saw with my own eyes that the big willow tree with a thick waist was cut all at once, and guess what happened? It actually ate the tree, and the whole tree was gnawed clean by a few giant ants. "A young coachman came shirtless on such a cold morning, grinning and showing a row of neat teeth.

Then another coachman came over and said, "Don't worry about anything, as long as they can get rid of the evil spirits in the Warsaw plane, what has become of Ivorson now!" ”

The coachmen lamented.

"My sister lives in Epson, on the plane of Warsaw, and has had no contact with her for about eight or nine years, when her little girl was only so tall......," lamented the coachman who spoke first.

The young coachman once again spread his gossip: "I have heard that the Hellish Spirits have built a fortress on the other side of the connecting passage, and they don't know how long it will take to conquer it......"

"I'm not as optimistic as you, as long as I can take back the Seven Counties, I'll praise Lady Liberty."

The coachmen gathered by the river to rest for a while, let the horses grazing on the riverside meadows, and then drove the dung carts back to the city of Evorsen.

With the first rays of sunshine, the 800-year-old city is breathed new life.

The small vendors in the city began their busy day again, and the familiar scent came from the intersection again.

……

There was a swamp to the west of the barracks, where herds of wild boars were often spotted.

The inhabitants of the city of Ewalson thought that wild boar and hares exuded an intolerable smell, and most of the inhabitants did not eat this kind of meat, and the price of beef and mutton here was cheaper than that of green vegetables, so that there were herds of wild boars in the swamps ten kilometers away from the city, but there were no hunters at all.

It is only when a nearby farm is infested by wild boars that a group of agribusiness associations organizes a hunting party to clean up a wide area on the edge of the swamp.

There are large wheat fields and sunflowers outside the city of Ewalson, and this season is just the time to harvest the sunflower seeds.

Before dawn, a dozen Druyin ran out of the barracks with a large group of ghost-patterned soldier ants and headed for the swamp to the west.

Knowing that these ghost-patterned soldier ants were going to hunt for food on the swamp, Gullitham actually gave up the idea of following Surdak into the city, and followed a group of ghost-patterned soldier ants with a big stick and ran into the swamp.

Surdak met with the commanders of the Western Route Army in the morning and held a meeting, mainly to count the actual situation and number of troops arriving in Evorsen City, it is obvious that the lord army mobilized by the military headquarters this time are all troops willing to enter the Warsaw plane, and almost no soldiers are left behind.

According to the battle plan of the military headquarters, the Western Route Army led by Surdak will stay in Epson City for two days, and then enter the Duke's Palace in Ivorson City in the afternoon of the same day, and arrive at Epson City through the portal in the Duke's Palace.

After Surdak arranged the itinerary of the Western Route Army for these two days, he left the barracks with Signa and Nika, who had been waiting a little impatiently.

Nika and Signa ride a docile Guboren horse, Nika is a native of the northern part of the White Forest Plane and has been riding horses since childhood.

Naturally, there was nothing wrong with Signa riding a horse with her.

Surdak still remembers that when he first went to the White Forest Plane, he took more than 500 cavalrymen who were not cavalry, and Selena still had a white camel at that time, but unfortunately Selena secretly ran over this time and failed to bring the white camel over.

The horse Surdak rode was the silly horse that Andrew had brought from the White Forest Plane. In the past few years, Surdak has always been running around, and his mount has changed several times, from the Demon Warhorse to the Green Scale Horse, but this old horse has been kept in the garrison camp of Dodan Town on the White Forest Plane.

On this expedition to the Warsaw plane, Surdak asked Andrew to bring the old horse to the city of Bena.

Last night, I came to Evorson City from Bena City through the teleportation circle.

Surdak mounted his horse and took Nika and Signa towards the city gate of Ewalson, and when he came to the city gate, he still found that many Bena soldiers had secretly run out of the barracks while they were resting, ready to enter the city of Ewalson, and he couldn't tell which were the soldiers of the Western Route Army.

The guards at the gates did not prevent the Bena army from entering the city and seeing Surdak's chest. Wearing a noble insignia in front of him, it was guessed that he should be a general in the Bena army, and several gate guards also saluted Surdak.

When Surdak passed through the city gates, he led his horse in.

Seeing the somewhat familiar city gate hole, Surdak couldn't help but pat the stupid horse's neck and asked it, "Old man, do you remember this place?" ”

The Gubolai horse just snorted loudly and frothed, probably not understanding Surdak's question.

Nika also followed Surdak's example, and led the horse into the city of Evorsen, and the small Signa sat on the horse's back, and the two girls came to Evorsen City for the first time, and their curious eyes were always looking around.

The city of Ewalsen and the city of Bena are two very different architectural styles, the city of Bena is compact and has beautiful patterns, which is closer to the Baroque architectural style.

The city of Ewalsen, on the other hand, is almost always the kind of tall and majestic buildings, many of which are built very high, and the streets are very wide, and some shops are in the bitter cloth huts built on both sides of the street.

It is said that Ivorson is rich in red copper, and there are many copper shops in the city, and many copper shops can be seen in the shops on both sides, and the exquisite copper utensils are dazzling.

It seems to be common for nobles to come out to do business here, and Surdak can see some people wearing aristocratic clothes in front of many shops on the street to woo business.

Signa and Nika stopped in front of a trinket shop with colored gem-encrusted utensils and ornaments, and the proprietor looked like a nobleman, middle-aged, reserved-eyed, and a man of great learning.

He saw Nika and Signa striding in, just sitting behind the counter and nodding to the two girls, without even speaking, continuing to wipe a very old ornament with a piece of wool.

Nika and Thea looked at the copper combs encrusted with ruby sapphires on the first row of shelves.

Surdak didn't enter the store, but was in front of the counter, looking at the store's furnishings.

"The Bednars?" The shopkeeper smiled at Surdak.

"So obvious?" Surdak asked in surprise, a little strange.

"The noble badge on your side is a little different from ours, and this outfit is hard not to remind people of the Bena reinforcements outside the city." The shopkeeper pointed to the magic pattern structure on Surdak and said.

Surdak smiled and didn't continue the conversation.

Signa gave herself a necklace of red and green gems, the base material is magic red copper, a total of seven soybean-sized gemstones, it looks delicate and beautiful.

Nika was holding the thin-looking comb, and the two of them were placed on the counter almost at the same time.

The shopkeeper put down the ornament he was wiping, picked up the jewel necklace and copper comb at random, looked at it, then pushed it to the two girls, and said casually, "A gold coin." ”

Surdak looked at him in some surprise, just Signa's gemstone necklace, regardless of the quality of the gemstone, the price of the material would not be less than one gold coin if the magic red copper used in the base part of the necklace was counted.

Seeing Surdak's surprised gaze, the shopkeeper smiled gently and said casually, "Even if I thank you for being willing to come all the way to help us, I hope that the army of the Warsaw plane can drive away those evil spirits as soon as possible." ”

Surdak didn't say anything more, and he didn't say anything polite, he took out a gold coin from his money bag and pushed it in front of the shopkeeper.

"Then we're welcome." Surdak said.

With a grin, Signa handed the necklace to Surdak and begged, "Dak, do you think it's beautiful?" Help me put on my ......"

Nika carefully put away the copper comb and whispered a thank you to Surdak.

"There are a lot of shops here in Everson City, you can wander around, and when you are tired, we can take a break and find a reliable restaurant for lunch." Surdak said to Signa and Nika.

The three of them then walked out of the jewelry store.
