Chapter 96: Into the City

At the gate of the town of Raya, three carriages came out, along with eight soldiers.

The soldiers, dressed in heraldic burqas of Laya Town, rode horses and carried flags, in front of the carriages.

One of the three carriages stood out.

The carriage was an enclosed carriage for rides, slightly different from the carriage for transport, with a roof and side windows that provided some shade and protection.

The paint on the outside, coupled with the Raya family heraldic flag erected on the edge of the carriage, all tell everyone that Raya Phil is in this carriage.

"Let's not talk anymore, we're going to go."

Henry patted Xu Siling's thigh again: "Have a safe journey." ”

Henry is now a non-commissioned officer of the guard unit in Raya Town, with a lot of power and responsibilities.

He approached Phil's soldiers and informed them of the array of marches that were to be met.

Xu Siling glanced at his soldiers, beckoned him to move forward, and merged with Fei'er's troops.

There are really not many soldiers that Fei'er brought this time, even a little little.

With the addition of the people he brought with him, there were only eighteen soldiers on horseback.

In particular, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Flophon family cannot be counted on too much.

Xu Siling led the team at the front, majestic, lined up in a neat queue, the chain mail robe flashing in the sun, and the flag sounding in the wind.

As Fei'er's first knight, in the eyes of outsiders, he is high, staring into the distance, firm and majestic.

It was followed by Phil's carriage, then the soldiers she had brought with her, and the three transport wagons.

The sound of horses' hooves and boots mingled as if the earth was trembling.

The wind was blowing in their faces, blowing their flags.

In terms of time planning, it is actually a bit rushed.

Departing in the morning, arriving at Tamu Fort in the afternoon, the banquet begins in the evening.

And the witch trial will be held tomorrow morning.

The roads in medieval Europe were in relatively poor condition, and most of the roads were unpaved dirt or stone roads.

Xu Siling touched Ella's 'dowry', a military passenger horse that accompanied him on a trip for a while.

It can be said that there is a lot of tacit understanding between horses and people.

Perhaps because of his riding skills, although he and the horse have not been together for a long time, the degree of tacit understanding is definitely no less than that of other old partners.

If he whistles now, he can summon the horses.

Under the rapid rush, Xu Siling was also able to adjust his sitting posture on the seat in time, and cooperate with the horse under his crotch to make the horse run faster and have less damage.

Although this is not a good sound, the horse that Fei'er gave him, which is also a military horse, is not as good as this one.

The master-level riding skills let Xu Siling take a look at the horses, and by the way, he knew where the gap was.

After walking some distance, there was a strange sound of horses' hooves on the right.

Turning her head, it was An Li.

Ann Li also wears a chainmail robe, but her armor is clearly custom-made and more elaborate than his.

She rode cautiously on her horse, which was a little restless under her crotch.

"Ann Li, what are you going to do?"

"No, Miss Raya asked me to call you over, she has something to tell you, and I will replace you."

Xu Siling responded and gave up the position of team leader to An Li.

An Li smoothly switched places, but Xu Siling felt that An Li's horseback riding skills were indeed not very good, especially the horses under her crotch were a little restless.

When he came to Fei'er's carriage, Xu Siling shouted, the window of the carriage opened, and Fei'er's cute face was revealed.

"Miss Raya, you're looking for me."

Fei'er's azure eyes looked at Xu Siling, looking very satisfied: "What about Ella." ”

"In the carriage at the back."

"Let her come with me."

It seems that Fei'er has made up her mind to test Ella.

Just as Xu Siling was about to stop the team, Fei'er asked again.

"You went with ten soldiers, who else?"

"And two apprentices, two servants, and Farina."

"Farina?" Fei'er was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "That girl who has been helping you collect herbs." ”

"That's right."

"You would have chosen to take her with you." Fei'er's expression was a little weird, as if she remembered Farina's appearance.

Xu Siling did not hide it, and told her aunt about being taken away by the people of Tamubao, and Fei'er nodded when she heard it.

"Then call her along."

"Huh?" Xu Siling was a little surprised, "Let Ella and Falina both get into your carriage." ”

"Yes, otherwise I'm afraid it's too boring along the way, Ella doesn't seem to be very talkative, and having Falina here may be able to relieve my boredom."

Xu Siling didn't believe this, but Fei'er had this idea, so let her be, just thinking of Farina's simple little white rabbit, sandwiched between Fei'er and Ella, I don't know what will happen.

Xu Siling shouted to stop the team, and the entire team array slowly stopped.

But something strange happened, the front-end leader position, Anli's horse couldn't stop.

The horse began to move uncontrollably from side to side, as if there were ants crawling on it.

An Li helplessly comforted: "Obediently, stop, I'll give you carrots later." ”

The horses were even more noisy when they heard this.

"Looks like you don't like carrots."

Xu Siling hurriedly rode forward, and after dismounting, he took the reins of An Li's horse.

I don't know what's going on, but the horse, which was originally restless, immediately quieted down after Xu Siling calmed him.

The speed of the silence made Anli incredible.

"What are you kidding, how can I touch you, and you'll stop, you won't be a mare!"

Xu Siling rolled her eyes and ignored her, as a team leader, she couldn't ride a horse well, causing a riot and making people laugh.

After An Li dismounted, she led the horse back to Fei'er, and Fei'er scolded her when she saw Anli.

"They all said they wouldn't let you ride a horse, but you didn't listen."

"Miss Raya, I've really worked hard to practice riding!"

"You better stay in the car with me, don't ride a horse and make trouble uncontrollably, and let people see jokes when you get to Tamu Fort."

Ann Li wanted to fight for one more chance, but thinking of the horse's restless appearance, she had to give up.

It's just that she didn't get into Fei'er's carriage, and hid back in the transport carriage behind her.

The horses were handed over to the other soldiers.

went to call Ella and Farina, and when Ella found out, she looked indifferent and didn't feel anything.

Farina, on the other hand, was surprised.

"Does Farina want to accompany Miss Raya in the carriage too?"

"She probably wants to talk to someone, don't worry too much."

Xu Siling felt that Falina was making up the numbers, after all, Fei'er's target must be Ella, and her attention should be on Ella.

Falina nodded apprehensively, she didn't think she had the right to refuse.

After sending Ella and Falina to Phil's carriage, Xu Siling began to return to the team leader, restarting the queue and moving forward.

It's just that on the road, he still can't help but wonder what the three people in the carriage will talk about.

Fei'er, who didn't know anything, added Ella, who was paralyzed and pretended to be stupid, and added a little white rabbit Farina.

Noise is definitely not noisy.

said that Phil was tempting Ella, so wasn't Ella testing Ella?

Just pity Farina caught in the middle.

Afternoon.

The queue has not stopped, and lunch is also a casual ration of dry food.

The banquet in the evening should be held normally, and the time should not be long, and the priority is to reach Tamu Fort first.

There were no accidents along the way.

It is also unlikely that there will be.

The robbers in Raya Town were either wiped out by Xu Siling, or they were so frightened that they hid in the mountains and did not dare to come out.

Even if the robbers are still there, they will not be stupid enough to strike at the heavily armed queue.

It's just that most of the manors and villages you encounter on the road are deserted.

Fei'er was a little sad to see it.

The Black Death was rampant, with civilians dying either at home or on the way to flee, and it was difficult to escape the spread of the Black Death wherever there was a lot of traffic, except for isolated villages.

Raya Town is already very good, but Fei'er hasn't left Raya Town for a long time, and she is a little uncomfortable when she sees the outside world on this trip.

The three girls in the carriage seemed to get along well, at least in Xu Siling's eyes.

Ella is still silent, there is no match, and Farina is careful and very hard to answer Phil's every word, Phil does not think much about Farina, the main target is Ella.

Leaving the territory of Raya Town, I finally arrived at Tamu Fort.

Look up.

Standing on the hillside, Tamu Fort looks like an impregnable fortress from afar.

The outer walls of the castle are made of huge stone blocks, giving them a solid and heavy appearance.

There are pillboxes, arrow towers and lookouts on the walls.

The majestic walls surround the entire castle, giving a sense of security.

At the top of the castle is a towering tower that watches over the entire territory. The tower has a spiral staircase leading to an observation deck at the top, from where you can enjoy a great view of the castle's surroundings.

At the top of the tower, the flag of the Khamis family flutters, symbolizing power and glory.

The guards saw Xu Siling's team coming, and they knew in advance, and after confirming it, they opened the city gate to welcome them in.

On the way to the inner fort, Xu Siling found that the residents of Tamubao were in a low mood, and not many people were willing to come out to see the queue.

The outer fort area was filled with the smell of dead rats, and the roads were muddy.

Xu Siling couldn't help frowning and covering his nose.

Under the attack of the Black Death, Tamu Fort was already in ruins, and now I don't know how many people died.

Although he knew that the current ruler could not be cured at all, it still did not affect the image of Khamis in Xu Siling's mind.

When you come to the inner fort, the smell of burning spices is everywhere, which is better than the outside.

Because Hamis and Phil both invited four nobles to come at the same time, there were many nobles who were invited to Tamu Fort.

As soon as Fei'er got out of the carriage, she immediately recognized the nobleman who was familiar with her.

But now was not the time for small talk, and Phil instructed the servants to dismount and prepare to take over the work of the kitchen and arrange the work with the banquet hall.

Fei'er wore a light blue dress today, and under her golden hair, her azure eyes were smart.

She chatted with the nobles she knew as she headed towards the banquet hall.

The ballroom inside the castle is intricate and elaborate, with ornate tapestries and frescoes on the walls, showcasing heroic stories and religious myths, long wooden tables filled with food and drink, and candles flickering on silver and porcelain.

In order to receive so many nobles, Khamis also put a lot of thought into it.

Xu Siling just followed Fei'er into the banquet hall, and after seeing that the banquet hall was full of nobles, he was not very happy to stay on this occasion, especially this kind of occasion was not suitable for him.

When he came to the stable, he saw that the soldiers were still waiting for them and were not running around, which made Xu Siling satisfied.

In order for the banquet hall to be held normally in the evening, and the servants were busy, Ella felt that she was the knight's lady, and she had to help at this time, so she took Farina into the back kitchen with her.

By the way, the jars of MSG made by Falina were carried to the back kitchen, and they were also distributed to the servants, so that the servants could take them to the banquet hall and set them up.

"Xu, what are we going to do now?"

Terry saw Xu Siling coming over, and touched his face excitedly.

Although not many people came to watch when they entered the city, they could see the shocked faces of the guards when they recognized them.

"Disbanded first, arrange for people to briefly touch the surrounding environment."

Xu Siling glanced around the inner fort, and the other nobles had brought soldiers over, some and some less.

Anyway, Fei'er brought eighteen soldiers, definitely the most of them.

"Terry, find out the family who is still in Tamuburg to find out about the process of tomorrow's witch trial and the location of the witch's captor."

Terry nodded and said, "I know that the relatives of your witch friend have also been arrested, but Xu, don't blame me for not reminding you, this is someone else's territory, and we can't go too far." ”

Xu Siling smiled and shook his head: "In the matter of saving them, I have the same attitude as Miss Raya, you can help me confirm their safety first." ”

"Got it."

"By the way, help me inquire about the Jews."

Terry nodded in response, beckoning the people of the Flophon family behind him, and everyone dispersed in a hurry.

As for the soldiers brought by Fei'er, they found a place to rest.

Xu Siling wandered around the inner castle, he was wearing the burqa of the Raya family, and everyone with a discerning eye knew that he was Fei'er's knight.

Except when he arrived at the important territory, the guards of Tamubao did not stop him.

Xu Siling supported the two-handed sword at his waist with one hand, and he went up to the wall of the inner fort.

Every time he goes to a new place, it is his habit to explore the environment.

He saw that the guards of Tamu Fort were in poor physical condition, and even some of the guards had been infected with the Black Death, but they were still sick to work, and it was obvious that Tamu Fort was not enough manpower.

I really don't understand how the Jews coaxed Khamis to make Khamis believe the Jews so much.

It is estimated that the news related to the Black Death and witches also came from the Jews.

As he was strolling, he suddenly heard two deep male voices around the corner of the castle.

There was nothing unusual for a man to chat, but the content of the words made him intrigued.

"See, Fi'raya brought nearly twenty soldiers over, this is obviously a demonstration to you!"

"Hmph, does a child who has just grown up know how to demonstrate by force?"

"The soldiers brought in the main ones are well-armed and in good condition. I'm afraid of them."

"There's nothing to be afraid of, since you've entered Tamu Fort, the strength of these personnel is not a threat."

"Lord Hamis, please be careful of the witch's schemes, maybe what happened today was arranged by the witch."

"I have my own plans, Frank."
