Chapter Eighty-Eight: Five Pairs of Load-Bearing Wheels
The streets were still bustling with people, but they were noticeably quieter than before, and both the stall owners and pedestrians were looking in the direction of the Viscount's Mansion with some disbelief.
There, a very tall red horse was slowly slowing down, this horse was extremely muscular, more than two meters tall, and releasing an astonishing amount of heat, and the air around it was distorted by the steaming heat.
Obviously, this is a Warcraft-level war horse with the blood of a fire dragon.
But the most surprising thing was that the horse was quite docile, and it noticed the crowd around it, and deliberately chose a path that would not bump into anyone, so that although the gallop just now sounded extremely unattended, in fact the whole street was hardly affected except for those who were startled.
The rider was dismounting, dressed in a black-on-gold coat of arms, with a golden Sun Eye crest on his right arm, and a can-like helmet covering his face, leaving only a T-shaped observation airway.
"It's the envoy of the imperial capital!"
When Ian heard this, the owner of the jewelry store on the side said half-excitedly, half-sadly: "It seems that the imperial capital's assistance is finally comingβbut why is he in such a hurry?" β
"Is there any bad news......" Most of the onlookers around were also suspicious.
"Visitors from the imperial capital?" Whispering to himself, Ian didn't know why the boss was worried, and the other party's uneasiness was obviously an instinctive warning after too much experience.
And he also narrowed his eyes: "It really doesn't feel right, I've seen ordinary aid caravans, and the process is obviously not like this." β
Pressing down on his doubts, he raised his head and stared intently at the Viscount's Mansion.
The envoy of the imperial capital came straight to the door of the Viscount's Mansion, he was not arrogant, facing the gate of the Viscount's Mansion, which had not yet been completely repaired, he still showed the token to the doorman very politely - it didn't take long for Ian to see an attendant leading the knight into the mansion, and Viscount Grant was already waiting at the door.
Even with Ian's eyesight, seeing these was already the limit, and he could only vaguely notice that the imperial envoy did not enter the mansion, but began to report the news after a slight salute to the viscount.
The news was obviously extremely shocking, because even if the details were not clear, and even on a very clear day, Ian could clearly feel the sudden weight of water vapor in the air around him, which was almost like a precursor to a heavy rain.
- That was the reaction of the Viscount, who was a second-level sublimator, who lost control of his emotions in an instant, and could even be said to be 'shocked to the extreme'!
Even when he harnessed the Aether to fight against the Great Shaman and the Crocodile, Viscount Grant's mood swings may not be as violent as they are now.
After the report, the envoy of the imperial capital saluted again, and then politely retired.
He rode on the tall horse with the blood of the dragon, galloped on the horse, and left in a hurry.
What exactly the messenger communicated with the viscount, no one knows.
But then, as the treasurer, the sheriff, and even the Elder Pude and others all went to the Viscount's Palace, and even the village chiefs, mercenaries, and militia leaders of several surrounding villages hurried from outside the city, everyone knew that something big was about to happen.
The crowd slowly dispersed in uneasiness, and the owner of the jewelry store returned to his shop with a sigh and a sigh as he absentmindedly muttered the phrase 'you can't count on the Empire'.
But Ian didn't leave the jewelry store, but stood by the alley, observing the movements of the Viscount's Mansion.
He had time to wait for the outcome of the matter.
In fact, Ian wasn't the only one who thought the same way β while Port Harrison was still being rebuilt, none of those who still had some leisure time left.
They knew very well that if something really big happened, the viscount would go to the square later and spread it out, and they would be able to get the first information.
In this southern frontier on the edge of human civilization, even the lord of the high lord must work with his people most of the time.
This may be the only good thing about the Savage Lands.
However, the first to appear than the viscount was a support convoy from the imperial capital.
"Moo-"
The majestic roar of the beast sounded from outside the city, but it could also be heard clearly inside the harbor, and the sound of continuous trampling could be faintly heard, and the steps of the beasts of the earth trembled slightly.
"It's ......"
Ian's expression moved, he seemed to hear something from this beast roar, and he opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly there was another beast roar, and this time the beast roar had already arrived in the city.
Dust rose at the city gates, and black shadows came from the avenue, slowly entering the warehouse area under the gaze of the people of Port Harrison.
And Ian saw the source of the beast's roar.
It was a cow.
An unbelievably large cow.
The body of more than three meters tall is like a moving house, the long horns above the head are hung with jingling wind chimes, the unexpectedly docile eyes are like jewels, and the body bound by the yoke can clearly see the thick and clear muscle groups contracting and moving layer upon layer, and the vitality is incomparably overflowing.
"Byson Bull ......"
Looking at the majestic beast, Ian whispered to himself, he couldn't help but recall the origin of the name of the Beyson Mountains: "The giant beast that inhabits the snow-covered areas of the northern Beyson Mountains is worth five hundred thalers each, and is one of the most expensive and powerful mortal beasts......"
When Hilliard explained to him the knowledge and distribution of many Warcraft in the Southridge Province, he still explained to Ian alone the Baisen Giant Bull - although it did not have any sublimation elements, its strength was above most first-level Warcraft, and it was docile and intelligent, and could fight and live with recognized partners.
"Don't think you're an ascension and you can look down on ordinary beasts...... You are too young to fully develop your body, let alone the human body, no matter how sublimated it is. β
"Even if it is a demonic beast, it can't defeat many sturdy beasts with pure physical strength alone."
This is an example of the teacher's admonition to Ian to be humble and cautious, and not to overconfidence because of the improvement of strength.
While Ian has always been cautious, he doesn't mind being more cautious.
It must be known that the mountain people in the past, it was with 300 'bull riders' that they were able to block the advance of the Imperial Halberd Heavy Infantry Regiment, although this achievement still could not affect their subsequent defeat, but the mountain people still have two large autonomous regions in the south It is precisely this battle, not to mention that the name of the mountain people's bravery has been widely spread throughout the empire.
"An ordinary cow is more than 200 talers, and I originally thought that what cow is so expensive, and it costs 500 for one cow...... Now it seems that I am afraid that this may be the internal price that the teacher had a relationship with back then, and the actual market price will definitely not be more than doubled! β
The huge convoy drove into the city, and the trucks that looked like houses made Ian breathless.
Not because it's big, but mostly because Ian saw that the truck had five pairs of load-bearing wheels β and tracks!
