1563. Coachman
The battle that broke out suddenly ended before the exclamations of the onlookers had even died down, and at a height of several thousand meters, unless it was a bird with wings, it would almost fall into a meatloaf if it jumped down.
Of course, maybe these two swordsmen had some special ability that would allow them to stop their high-speed descent like a flying dandelion.
Aphrodite did not return to the magic airship, and after finding nothing, she resolutely returned to Highlandsa.
It's as if there were actually three assassins, two swordsmen and one magician......
Surdak treated the innocently wounded civilians, Captain Matthew and a crew stood on the deck in horror, the assassination broke out on his magic airship, even if it had nothing to do with him, but once the Bena military department held him accountable, he could not escape the blame......
You must know that this is not an ordinary nobleman, but the commander of the plane war, and he has made great achievements in the past half a year.
If he was killed on this magic airship, Captain Matthew would probably jump ship......
Each ticket corresponds to a passenger, and without waiting for Surdak's command, Captain Matthew ordered the crew to begin counting the personnel on the ship, and it turned out that the list of personnel on the magic airship was useless at all, and the magic airship was not short of people.
In other words, these two swordsmen sneaked in, which is obviously not a difficult thing for those two swordsmen.
The upper leg recovered quickly, the blades of the two swordsmen were not poisoned, and there were no blessing spells, and Surdak's current body of holy light, only a quarter of an hour later, the wound had already healed to a surging red line.
If two second-turn great swordsmen lurked on the magic airship and carried out an assassination on him, as long as they failed to catch the assassin on the spot, it would be difficult to trace the identity of the assassin in the future.
But this time, the other party dispatched a third-rank grandmaster powerhouse, this range is too small, and there are only a handful of third-rank grandmaster powerhouses in the entire Green Empire.
In fact, there are only a few people in Bena Province, and Bena Province is also the hometown of famous swordsmen, and almost all of the most famous great swordsmen in the empire have gone out from Bena.
And on the Warsaw plane, Surdak only knew a strong man of the Third Rank Sect, the deputy head of the Bednar Legion, and the close friend of Duke Newman, Scripps. Marquis of Balke.
However, the great swordsman had returned to Bednar City with Archduke Newman for a vacation a month and a half ago, and now there were only some logistics troops left in the Bednar Legion on the Warsaw plane, and Surdak had met with the Legion Commander a few times, and Surdak was sure that the assassin was not Scripps. Marquis of Balke.
In fact, in Bena Province, the powerhouses who can become the third-turn grandmasters are basically the big people with transcendent status, even if they are not great lords, they must be great grandmasters with a prominent reputation.
In the province of Bena, there are only a handful of big people whose strength has reached three turns:
Surdak is most familiar with the three-turn swordsmanship master Adolphus. Dunstan, the great swordsman of the Dunstan family, is currently in the Blue Bridge Fortress of the Great Battlefield, and it was under this commander that Surdak entered the Great Battlefield when he first entered the Great Battlefield.
There are also two Great Sword Masters, one is the Dean of the Bednar High Swordsman Academy, the Great Sword Master Dalty. Armstrong, the other is Scripps of the Bednar Legion. Marquis Balk, deputy commander of the Bena Legion, both of whom are currently supposed to be in the province of Bena.
It is not easy to be promoted to become a third-turn grandmaster, once the promotion is successful, it will become worshiped by countless people, and it is difficult to think of being famous.
There was no reason for any of these three to sneak up on the magic airship and condescend to assassinate a Lord of Bednar.
There may be other third-turn powerhouses on this side of the Warsaw plane, but they are also grandmasters in the province of Ivelsen or other western provinces, and those grandmasters are not necessarily great sword masters......
The assassination of the commander of the legion in the Warsaw plane, once this kind of thing spreads, can be said to be very serious.
It can be regarded as directly provoking the Archduke Newman of the province of Bena......
Captain Matthew's side could not find out the identity of the assassin, so he could only strengthen the security forces of the aristocratic area, and he was extremely anxious to report the situation on the magic airship to Surdak.
The crew had worked overnight to repair the walls and windows of Surdak's cabin.
Surdak could only sit on the sofa in the captain's room temporarily, and at this time it was difficult to run to the city of Highlandsa through the Void Gate, and the crew members in the captain's room were also trembling, and when they saw him, they were like seeing a cat and a mouse, and they wanted to hide themselves in the cracks in the floor.
The magic airship continued on course, and Surdak felt that there was really no need for the whole magic airship to return because of this, and besides, Handanar City might be more dangerous than Epson City.
Several sword marks were drawn on the gold shield, and a large hole was cut on Sheft Steinb's armor.
Surdak furrowed his brow a little distressedly, thinking about what to do next.
……
Before the magic airship in which Surdak was riding had arrived in Epson City, the news of the assassination of the commander of the Western Route Army had already spread in Epson City.
This was undoubtedly a blatant slap in the face to Duke Newman, who had just left with his Bednar legion when Lord Bednar was assassinated......
Even if someone openly stands up and shouts, 'What a coincidence......
I'm afraid no one will believe it.
The cake of the Warsaw plane was divided into the hands of the Grand Duke Newman, but the demons on the Warsaw plane had not left, and the Bednar army withdrew ahead of schedule......
Whether it's the Ivorson family or the entire Western Knight League, there are some complaints about this.
Therefore, many people think that behind this assassination, there is the shadow of the Bussman family or the Western Knight Alliance, after all, the other party is an outstanding young commander in Bena Province, who only opened the passage to the Moyunling Heights with 100,000 heavy armored infantry soldiers.
In this way, it can be regarded as a complete solution to the biggest hidden danger of Handanar County.
There are many nobles gathered in Epson City, and many nobles are idlers who have not been able to get the teleportation pass and are forced to stay in Epson City......
Of course, there are also those who run in from outside with the Western Knight Alliance, and everyone is speculating about the identities of these two assassins.
When the noble lords discussed this matter, they almost always brought those powerful grandmasters who could be named, but then everyone found out that these strong men were currently in various war zones, and no matter how noble their status, at this time, they could not run to the magic airship of Handanar City.
No one would do such a stupid thing, and it would be of no benefit to risk offending Archduke Newman to assassinate a battlefield commander......
The three Grandmaster powerhouses of the Bena Province were excluded, and the identity of this Great Sword Master immediately became a suspense.
……
The Magic Airship arrived at the Epsom City Harbor Dock on the morning of the seventh day, in late August of the Imperial calendar.
When docked at the Epson City Airport Dock, even the platform of the tower was covered with hoplite soldiers with shields, and the arrow towers and pointed roofs around the tower were full of archers, all of whom were waiting to keep an eye on the airship coming from Handanarshire.
Hundreds of civilians, carrying their luggage, stood silently on the deck, not daring to move.
At this moment, on the dock of the airport, it seems that the air has condensed.
And the knights and nobles in the aristocratic quarter did not get off the ship, and everyone waited quietly in the cabin.
Surdak stepped out of the cabin and found that he was the first to disembark, and the airport dock was crowded with infantry soldiers, looking a little serious.
But there is nothing for him to do here, and no one has stopped him from walking out of the airport dock.
There were magic caravans parked outside the airport docks, and Surdak found one casually and walked into the car, he was wearing the Sheft Stein armor, but he forgot to wear the noble badge on his chest, this epic armor was already scarred and messy, and it looked no different from those ordinary armors.
Besides, there are a lot of constructed knights who have come out of the airport dock, and the coachman doesn't care at all......
"Go to the Maple Leaf Hotel in Central Square." Surdak gave the address and sat in the carriage without asking the price.
The coachman hurriedly closed the door for Surdak, and the Epson City was still extremely hot at the end of August, and the windows of the carriage were all open, and the carriage of this magic caravan happened to be a small carriage for four people.
The seats are almost back-to-back with the front seats, but across the thin compartments......
"My lord, the Maple Leaf Hotel should be full at this time, if you want to stay in a hotel, you can find a room a little further away from the central hotel."
The coachman was very talkative, but Surdak thought he might have a commission agreement with a certain inn and didn't bother to talk to him.
Seeing that Surdak did not speak, the coachman did not mind.
He continued: "Recently, the second-echelon heavy cavalry regiment of the Western Knight Alliance has just come in large numbers, and the hotels around the square are full of officers from the merchant regiment and the logistics unit, and they are also to count the number of supplies and troops entering Epson City, unless you are lucky, there will be no vacant rooms here. ”
Surdak didn't speak, but looked out the window......
After a decade of dimensional warfare, Epson City has become a depraved city.
But the city looks much better than it did in half a year, the road in front of the airport terminal is full of horse-drawn carriages carrying supplies, the streets are no longer crowded with refugees and vagrants, and the tents on the sidewalks have disappeared.
The shops that had already locked their doors are open again.
You can also tell from the cracks in some of the window panes that there was some unrest here.
"Where are you from?"
"Handanaarshire."
"Oh, I've heard that a magical airship from Handanaar County was assassinated, it is said that a big man in Bena Province was assassinated, and now the whole of Epson City is under martial law, and the knights in the guard camp are checking for those who have no identity, but they seem to be well-armed, and they have found some absconding riot members."
】
“……”
Surdak didn't speak, his gaze drawn to a group of knights on black-scaled horses.
"Since you are from Handanar County, can you tell me about the assassination on the airship, you may not know that this matter has long been spread in Epson City, and it was actually sought revenge by a third-turn powerhouse, and the commander of the Bednar Legion is really unlucky......"
Surdak was a little speechless, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with his luck.
"What's there to say, that assassination incident broke out suddenly, and by the time everyone reacted, both assassins had already jumped off the magic airship." Surdak replied casually.
"You mean they jumped off the airship? Jumped directly from a height of several thousand meters? Isn't that man broken into a patty? I heard that the assassinated commander had a broken leg? ”
“……”
Surdak didn't know what to say again, he looked down at his right leg, the crack in his pants had not yet been repaired.
After a pause, Surdak said, "The leg is not broken, I heard that it is a little injured." ”
"I don't think you should go to the hotel in the central square, listen to me, there is a good hotel two streets away, the maid of the hotel is not only beautiful, but also white-skinned, and it is not expensive if you want to stay with the night......"
The coachman chattered about his second side hustle, and Surdak stopped talking.
There was still a lot of congestion on this road, mainly because there were often heavy cavalry teams passing by, and when those black-scaled horses walked through the street, the Gubolai horses pulling the magic caravan would avoid the side, and they didn't dare to step at all.
The closer you get to the central square, the more pedestrians become on the street.
Surdak had already seen the long queue of refugees waiting to return to the Grimm Empire, stretching nearly two kilometers along the sidewalks of the central square, each carrying luggage and a teleportation pass of cardboard hanging around his neck.
It looks like a selling price tag around the neck of slaves waiting to be sold in the slave market......
Although there was a long queue in such a hot weather, no one complained or complained.
People here have seen the hope of returning home, leaving Warsaw is the most urgent thing for them to do, since they can get the number plate, it means that it is about to be realized, after months of waiting, what is so difficult about such a long time?
Regiments of cavalry came out of the central square of the portal, even if the coachman had said that these cavalry were the army of the Western Knight Alliance, Surdak did not expect that there would be troops from the empire at this time.
Convoys of supplies were parked on the side, and the piles of supplies piled up in the square were carried away one after another.
The streets are lined with shops and trading houses that are much more crowded than they were six months ago, and the streets are bustling with wanderers and refugees wandering around the central square, just looking for an opportunity to get through the portal.
The order of the central square was awe-inspiring, and the magic caravan slowly stopped at the door of the Maple Leaf Hotel.
The inn is not very large, but the architecture is very chic, and the rooms inside are also stylish, and it is a hotel that only caters to nobles.
Surdak stepped out of the carriage and stood on the steps of the hotel door.
The coachman was not in a hurry to drive the magic caravan away, he made a final attempt: "My lord, you can ask if the room here is full, if it is full, you can also take my carriage to leave, it is not good to rent a magic caravan nearby......"
Before the coachman could finish his sentence, the door of the hotel was pushed open by an officer, who hurried to Surdak and gave a military salute before saying, "Your Excellency Commander Surdak, your room has been arranged......
The coachman's half-open mouth froze in mid-air.
At this moment, his voice was completely mute.
'Commander Surdak...... Isn't it the unlucky guy who was assassinated by the airship? ’
Didn't you say he had a broken leg? Such a well-known commander did not have a convoy to pick up the station......
I also rode in my own magic caravan......
And what did you just say in the car......
Introduce him to small hotels with special services, and ......
He's a hapless guy......
The coachman whipped his whip on the horse's stock, and the carriage, which had been parked on the side of the road, broke away from the string first, and suddenly sprang out, merging into the traffic and soon disappeared.
