Chapter 680: Departure

Someone who had escaped laughed, put the bamboo basket containing food into the back compartment like no one, opened the garage door of the low artificial room, and invited everyone to get on the bus. Everyone has a tacit understanding to forget what just happened, and do what should be done.

Because this time Grand Duke Kavey is the main character, he is invited to sit in the passenger seat. He was accompanied by St. Babak Abunahan and Nguyen Van Viet of the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce.

For the Nguyen brothers, someone is not there, and of course there is no way to negotiate, so it is better to go and have a look. And the rest of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce are also preparing their own horses and plan to accompany them.

Grand Duke Kaveh resolutely refused to put on his seatbelt. Perhaps it is a taboo for a person of his status to be tied up or fixed.

Anyway, this thing is very strong in someone's observation, and the speed of the car can't be that fast, if something really happens, he can save himself. Lin thought so, so he didn't force everyone to wear seat belts before they could set off.

Before setting off, the cowhide canopy was lowered again, because it gave a better view. It was also because after the canopy was lowered, the Grand Duke's subordinates were able to see their own head more clearly, instead of being covered by the canopy.

Even if there is a Dharma Saint in the car, he is also a friend of the Grand Duke. But as servants who protect and serve the Grand Duke, they can't let the head of the family disappear from under their noses, even if the head of the house is stronger than all of them.

However, if the carriage is not airtight, you have to consider the problem of blowing cold air. It's past the New Year, and now it's strictly spring, but the weather is still the tail of winter. was blown to the face by the wind, not frozen, and inevitably the biting chill. No matter how unkind someone is, this time he will no longer hide his means of protecting against the wind. Apprentice-level magic, the standard Wind Enchantment, was quickly attached to several people in the car.

Such a simple solution provoked the complaints of the Fa Sheng. Babak complained, "Okay, little gai, if you don't say this, what does the cold wind that made me blow all night that day?" ”

Knowing that this person's complaint was just a sign of closeness, Lin didn't pretend to be cold, but said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that day." A lot of the things I'm doing now come to the idea of how to solve them after the first time. ”

With this self-acquainted Fa Sage as the head, the two came and went, like old friends who have known each other for many years.

Ka Wei Gong is very skilled in talking and laughing with everyone, especially Nguyen Van Viet of the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce. Although his housekeeper has traded with the people of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, he is with other stewards surnamed Ruan, not the one in front of him.

But he pays more attention to his beloved horse. A demon horse with the bloodline of a flaming demon is not a tame commodity. In order to tame him, it really took some effort. If someone you don't know gets close to it, you may be kicked away by the back kick. He also forbade other horses to walk beside him, and if they saw it, they would either kick or bite.

Such an arrogant magic horse, but today is very peaceful. Kaveh looked thoughtfully into the main mansion, where a black dragon was rumored to live. Is it the breath of the black dragon that suppresses it?

When the Grand Duke came back to his senses, he realized that the vehicle he was riding in had left the workshop and was moving slowly. Of course, the movement of the vehicle cannot be so stable that people do not feel it. But compared to the bumps of a horse or a carriage, it is a world of difference. Such a difference inexplicably made the Grand Duke look forward to it a little more.

The retinue, ready to follow on horseback, quickly gathered in front of and behind the vehicle, left and right, and slowly advanced. Despite being part of two organizations, they have well assigned their respective areas, protecting the Grand Duke and the head of the Chamber of Commerce sitting in the car.

It's just that someone in front of him is blocked, and someone who can't go up is a little discouraged. If it weren't for the knights under the Grand Duke who opened the way, and the road in the Holy City wasn't wide enough to overtake, someone really wanted to hit or run over, at least let the horn ring.

Moreover, the knight who opened the road thought that he was very considerate of the 'very slow' car, so he controlled the war horse to take one step and stop one step. It was as if it was an army marching or triumphant, parading through the streets to receive the cheers and encouragement of the people.

Take a deep breath and calm your emotions. Anyway, he was going to follow this group of people and join the Duke's guard, so Lin pressed his patience and stepped on the accelerator shallowly.

The two people sitting in the back seat knew the ability of this car, so they were also a little puzzled by this speed. Even if the one I sit on now is quite different from the one I sat on a few days ago, it won't get worse. But looking at the guards around them, they also seemed to understand something.

No matter how much they tossed, the group finally came to the outside of the city and joined the duke's guard of five hundred horsemen. The most special thing about this unit is that there are no auxiliaries.

Whether it is the medieval Europe of the earth or the reality of the lost land, a knight will have six or seven infantry of his own, usually as auxiliaries or knightly squires, and in wartime this group can be assembled, or become a reserve team of knights, or become another infantry team.

The Duke's Guard is a rare form of light cavalry, but one would not underestimate this unit. Because the aura and oppression emitted by the magic equipment of that water showed that this army was more deadly than the knight team in full armor, and it also cost money.

They also put a lot of emphasis on ranged weapons, with a horse crossbow with two barrels hanging on the left and right of the crossbow bolts. With a barrel of twenty crossbows, such a reserve of ammunition is enough to fight a small war. The immediate crossbow is a small crossbow machine with a special string pulling mechanism, and fortunately, if you use a crossbow, if you use a bow, no matter how good an archer is, it is rare to shoot 80 arrows in a war. The stronger the bow, the more so.

The horses ridden are even taller and more majestic, and at a glance you know that they are not ordinary horses. But at this rate, your mother, is pinching on the streets.

In the city, limited by the width of the streets, someone endured. When I came to the outside of the city, I was still walking like I was going to die, and someone couldn't bear it. With a snort and a reluctant smile, Lin turned his head to look at Grand Duke Kaveh and said, "Grand Duke, we have to speed up a little, otherwise even if we drive until night, there will be no way to reach Mount Vesu." ”

"You can speed up, my troops can catch up. If you can't catch up, I'll give them a year's salary, and then I'll send them to help you do things for free. ”

The knights who followed the side of the family only thought it ridiculous at the head of the house. The reason why the Duke's guard chose war horses instead of Luo Bird is because this breed of horse has the blood of Warcraft, and their endurance and explosive power are far better than those of ordinary war horses or Luo Bird. Especially compared with the guards of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce who are in the same direction, the gap between the war horses is even clearer.

Lin didn't take the old man's words seriously, but he couldn't stand the feeling of being held down. He said, "Okay, let's go." "As soon as the steering wheel was struck, the accelerator pedal was stepped on, and it got out of the gap in the line. Everyone was shocked, only to see that the car had already flown away. The guards of the Duke's Guard and the Jialong Chamber of Commerce hurriedly waved their horsewhips and sped up to keep up.

The sudden acceleration caught everyone off guard, but it wasn't a problem. After a few lashes, the horse caught up with the speed of the car again. Even a few riders who were driving the road wanted to run to the front of the car again.

However, this speed, although it is not yet the speed limit of the war horse's charge, is already much faster than the forced march under the ordinary definition. Except for being startled by the initial acceleration, Grand Duke Kaveh still sat still, watching his subordinates try to catch up, and said, "Oh, this car is so fast. Yes, yes, I can catch up with the guards I built with a lot of money, which is quite good. ”

Lin smiled happily and said, "Thank you for the compliment." Then let's shift to second gear. ”

"What do you mean by second gear?"

The throttle is slightly loose, step on the clutch, gear up, loosen the clutch, and step on the throttle again! The speed of the car increased dramatically. Although there was no feeling of rushing out like before, the Grand Duke could clearly see that the Duke's Guard, which he had invested heavily in, was ...... Slowly falling behind.

Only a handful of knights had the means to ride their horses to keep up. And the horses they rode were some of the best horses in the Guard that they knew. Probably the easiest of these horses is their own mounts. He just carried an empty saddle and snorted, following with ease. But the snorts of the other horses were much rougher, and it took all their might to keep up with a knight.

Grand Duke Kaveh's first thought was that this magician had used the speed of the charge? But those who have led cavalry know that the charge will not last long, and it will always be exhausted. So he was waiting, waiting for this speed to come down.

Understanding how fast the charge can be and how long it can last is also valuable information. So Kavi Gong did not criticize or ridicule loudly, but silently counted in his heart.

But when he looked behind him and saw that he could no longer see the backward Duke's Guard, he was moved. The original magnificent army of 500 horsemen is now only a few horsemen who have a way to follow. The only comforting part is that those who can keep up are all members of the Duke's Guard, and the guards of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce have long been out of sight.

Of course, Lin didn't care if those people could keep up or not, he only paid attention to the car situation now. Seventy kilometers per hour is an easily achievable target for a vehicle on Earth. But there is no good asphalt road in the mistery, and I am curious and a little worried about what level of the car I built with magic materials and my halfway monk.

When I tested the car before, it was nighttime, the dew was thick, and the ground was slippery. Coupled with the fact that most of the Holy City is paved with stone roads, it is difficult for someone to drive fast because of the concerns of tires and brakes.

Now that I have left the city, the road that everyone often walks is often run over by horse-drawn carriages, and even weeds cannot grow, and it is basically a dirt road. And the road is not like the city, you have to worry that someone will jump out and stop a car you haven't seen before, so someone is also planning to test the top speed of this car.

It's just that the road to Mount Vesu, although not winding, is not a straight and smooth road. Especially after entering the woods, you have to follow the old path that everyone is used to; It's not like before on the grassland, where you can run wherever you want, and no one cares how you drill.

But after getting used to the maneuvering, Lin drove the car and moved up another gear.
