1381. Epson's Tears
Many people don't seem to understand why a storage magic belt connected to subdimensional space can at least fill a wagon of goods, but why the logistics department uses magic airships and four-wheeled carriages to transport these armaments.
First of all, opening the space of the magic belt pack requires a certain amount of mana.
Except for magicians, only some warriors and powerhouses with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts can use magic belts.
The second is the issue of transportation costs.
These military supplies are not transported by horse-drawn carts and magic airships, so do you have to hire magicians to run around and carry things?
Of course, it's not impossible to use the magic belt to transport armaments through the teleportation hall, but the difference between the cost and the cost of a four-wheeled carriage is not ordinary.
Horse-drawn carts full of supplies come out of the portal, and after passing through the portal, these carriages need to leave the portal quickly, so as not to block the vehicles behind them and cause unnecessary damage.
Surdak saw the four-wheeled carriages of the Bena Military Headquarters Logistics Office gathering more and more in the corners of the central square, and he did not have the patience to wait any longer.
So Surdak said to the coachman who was sitting in the driver's seat:
"I don't have time to find Louie right now. Quartermaster Fitch, where is your Supreme Commander, I mean you can find it here. ”
The coachman knew that Surdak was a big man, so he naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately pointed not far away, and one of the officers who was standing on the edge of the square and dispatched the vehicle said:
"That's our captain Ivan. Henderson ......"
Surdak gestured to the coachman to show that he understood, and strode over.
The four-wheeled carriages of the Bena military headquarters continued to gather one after another. Captain Henderson directed the wagons to line up the corners of the square, and he carefully checked each four-wheeled wagon.
Until Surdak stood in front of him and struck Ivan with the whip in his hand. Captain Henderson's shoulder, he turned his head to look.
Ivan. Henderson immediately saluted Surdak and greeted, "Good afternoon, Lord Commander. ”
"You know me, it's good." Surdak nodded, facing Ivan. Captain Henderson said bluntly: "Ivan. Captain Henderson, I have three people who need help from your logistics office to bring Ivelsen back, is there any problem? ”
"No, Commander Surdak." Ivan. Captain Henderson patted his chest and said
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Surdak nodded and said.
Then he brought John and Lisa's family of three to Ivan. Captain Henderson in front of him.
In Ivan. Under the arrangement of Captain Henderson, the three members of John's family boarded another empty four-wheeled carriage.
……
After arranging John's family, Surdak did not stay in the central square, said a brief goodbye to John, mounted his horse and walked in the direction of the house at No. 57 in the aristocratic quarter.
Samira took Signa and Karry. Decker was joined by two horses following Surdak side by side.
There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and Surdak and others rode through the crowd.
"Tell me about Epsom City!" Samira said to Surdak.
Surdak turned his head to look at Samira and said, "Actually, I was just passing through here, and I wasn't in the mood to enjoy the scenery of the city at the time, but I remember that the city was very big. ”
After saying that, he couldn't help but look around.
Pointing to the chaotic street market, he said to Samira: "At that time, the situation in the Warsaw plane was not so bad, the Royal Knights won the battle on the Kempato River, and there were many merchant groups gathered in the city, and there were many merchants everywhere along the street, and the most impressive thing for me was the magic grocery store, the most special thing about the grocery store here is that you can gamble on the magic core, and almost every grocery store has this business." ”
"Do you know what a gambling core is?" Surdak asked with a smile: "Usually the kind of magic core obtained from the skull of a first-level demonic beast is put into a plate, and then everyone will buy it at a low price, of course, if there are magic crystal fragments in it, it should be able to protect the capital, if there is nothing in it, you will lose money, but if you can open a magic crystal, it will be a big profit!" ”
"There are a lot of shops on this street, and they all deal in gambling core ......," Surdak said, pointing to the shops on the street.
Now the shop business here is very depressed.
"At that time, only a few wooden houses were built in the slums outside the city, along the river outside the city, and I remember that there was a large sunflower field opposite the shantytown, and from the slope the whole land was golden. ”
"The portal here wasn't as crowded as it is now, I just left here in line with a teleportation pass and this horse, just like those people, oh! The lines weren't that long either. ”
"As for my impression of the city, it's more like a gate, because it's connected to the Grimm Empire, and it's the way home for each of our Bena warriors."
Before they knew it, Surdak and Samira were riding side by side in the street, and the two horses were still close together.
Samira leaned almost obliquely, holding one of Surdak's arms, and Signa, who was riding a horse with Samira, leaned over and put her arms around the horse's neck speechlessly, burying her face in the mane on the back of the horse's neck, not wanting to say a word.
Jiali. Decker followed behind, listening with relish.
They passed through the edge of the central plaza in a long line, and among those waiting in line to pass through the portal, a mother and daughter huddled in a line with tired faces, dragging their heavy salutes, and the mother took out a water bladder from her backpack and gave her daughter a piece of baked wheat cake.
The girl hadn't washed her hair for days, and her little face looked dirty, but her eyes were looking around.
Watch Surdak ride past the street on horseback and see Kari following behind. Decker was sassy and heroic, and immediately showed a look of envy, and her tall figure simply fascinated her.
She immediately remembered the scene of the previous night, and seemed to have seen them on the street where she lived.
It's a big city, but sometimes it's really small......
Look at Karry. Decker was wearing heavy armor, and the metallic armor made her eyes brighter and brighter.
Even the war horse with heavy hard armor was such a divine horse.
"Mom, I'll be a make-up warrior like her in the future!" The girl exhaled and said to her mother behind her.
The mother soaked a handkerchief with some water from the water bladder, then wiped the girl's dirty little face and nagged her: "Don't say stupid things, I took you out of the Warsaw plane so hard, not so that you would become a female warrior in the future......"
In response to her mother's nagging, the girl decisively closed her mouth.
But her eyes never left Carrie. Decker's back until the knights disappeared into the crowded street.
……
When it was almost dark, the convoy of supplies waiting for the Bena logistics office here finally waited for the signal to pass, and the carriages parked in the corner of the square finally came to life, and one after another headed towards the portal.
John, who had been waiting in the carriage with some trepidation, hung his heart again.
The back of the wagon shook violently, and Ivan. Captain Henderson jumped in from behind, saw the family huddled in the corner, and smiled at them.
The child was already asleep, snuggled in Lisa's arms.
Ivan. Captain Henderson took out a piece of tarpaulin from the corner and covered the freight car, and several people hid in the car covered with a layer of tarpaulin, the wheels ran over the stone slab of the square, and the carriage shook for a while, and the inside of the carriage was very dark.
"Don't worry, it's allowed, that's how we in the logistics department go back and forth ......between the two cities," Captain Henderson said.
Then, he stared at the bald middle-aged man and asked, "Are you a soldier of the Western Route Army?" ”
John shook his head.
Captain Henderson looked at John curiously, John's big belly in the dark could still clearly reveal his age.
"And you're a resident of Epson City?" Ivan. Henderson asked.
John replied honestly, "No, I'm from Bena, but we live in a slum outside the city......"
Listening to John say that he lived in the Epson ghetto, Ivan Brown. Henderson was even more curious, and asked, "How did you know Commander Surdak who would personally send you to the portal of the teleportation?" ”
John said, "I've known Master Surdak for several years, and I met him when Master Surdak had just retired from the army......
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was actually an old friend of Commander Surdak, and when he thought that Commander Surdak could still remember his old friend in times of trouble, he said with great emotion: "Your luck is really good. ”
John smiled honestly, but he didn't expect it.
Captain Henderson continued: "Are you going back to Bednar this time? ”
"Hmm." John replied.
Ivan. After thinking about it, Captain Henderson said, "In this case, there will be ten magic airships going back to Pena City in the morning, and these trucks are also going to the airport dock in Ivorson City to transport those armaments, if you want to return to Bena, it is most convenient to take these magic airships, and I can also help you get a separate cabin." ”
John didn't expect this Ivan. Captain Henderson would give Lord Surdak face like this.
"You...... Can it really be? Thank you so much, Ivan. Captain Henderson. ”
For a moment, John didn't know what to say, and seemed a little incoherent.
Soon, the carriage slowed down again.
Ivan. Henderson lifted the tarpaulin from the carriage and swooped out.
Through the gaps in the tarpaulin, John could clearly see that the four-wheeled trucks of the Bednar Military Department's logistics office began to enter the portal one after another, and at this time, there was a long line of nobles waiting in the square.
Until the mirror of the portal slowly submerged John's family, John hugged his wife and son tightly, and finally did not look back......
A tear slammed into the mirror-like portal and flew out of it in an instant.
A gust of wind blew through the air, and the tears were instantly blown into the air......
