Chapter Ninety-Five: The Sea of Warsaw
After that battle, the group didn't get into any major trouble.
More than ten days later, the convoy entered the border of the Principality of Haisting.
Walking out of the Mostington Prairie, as far as the eye could see, a rolling mountain range that could only be seen from a distance seemed to have been pulled in front of me, and the ridge hidden in the sea of clouds stretched to the end of the sight, that is, the Mira Mountains, which gave birth to the world-famous Hastingen mountain people for their fortitude and loyalty.
Of course, it would take at least two or three days to reach the Mira Mountains, and now in front of the wagons were rolling hills, dense trees, and flourishing flora and fauna, and occasionally you could see some convoys that were also heading for the Duchy of Haysting, most of them caravans.
"There is still half a day to go to the city of Hiawatha, so you can have a good rest. Lucarin, who had a veil on her ears and covered the bridge of her nose, stretched out and said with some emotion. She asked Camerita to borrow the veil, and although it was a bit of a sin to wear it on this hot summer day, after weighing the stench that the members of the "Enjoy" team couldn't hide after a long journey, Lucarine still chose to wear the veil to filter out some of the stench.
"Well, it's time for a break. Gehr looked at Lucarin's visibly tired eyes peeking out from above the veil, and smiled tolerantly, this journey was indeed not easy for her since she was a child. "There's a small intelligence relay point in Hiawatha, Iona, when the time comes, you go down and send our news back to San Rotarlo, and Lucarin and I won't come forward. โ
"No problem. Iona, who was stripped off and was left with a sweat-soaked red bandeau and showed off her hot body, nodded yes, she didn't care that there was a man in the carriage at all, and it became a very conspicuous contrast to the fully dressed Lucarin.
This situation means that Iona has a certain degree of trust in Gehr as a man, and of course this is also due to Gehr's performance for so long. In fact, for Gehr, appearance is really not a decisive factor, when he was a soldier in the base before the crossing, everyone there has been genetically optimized and adjusted, and it is not difficult for women to optimize their body appearance and even various subtleties, Gehr has long been used to it.
For example, Carmelita, the most perfect and beautiful woman I have seen so far, can only be considered good in that world, and Lucarin and Iona are just members of the general public.
What's more, after such a long journey, even the body odor of even beautiful women is inevitably a little heavy, and their appearance is also affected by the fatigue of the journey. But Gehr, a "stinky man" in the usual sense, is one of the cleanest and neatest in a group.
The city of Hyawatha is an important town on the southern border of the Principality of Haysting, and its main task is to defend the southern border of the Principality of Haything, and the other task is equivalent to the great responsibility of securing the southern trade routes, that is, protecting the merchants who move and trade across the border.
As an extension of the golden passage during the Philippan Empire, the Principality of Haisting has adhered to the national policy of encouraging trade since its independence from the Philippan Empire, as long as the safety of the journey is guaranteed, the trade will naturally flourish, and the interests of the merchants will also rise, so that the taxes obtained by the principality will also increase, which is comparable to the lifeblood of the country for the Principality of Haisting, which is very poor in resources and land, so it can be said that the Principality of Shanghai Siting spares no effort in suppressing bandits and maintaining road safety.
When the motorcade entered the border, the obvious change was that along the road in good condition, a rudimentary guard tower could be seen every ten kilometers or so, and the militia of the nearest village was responsible for patrolling it, and if the situation was detected, a beacon fire would be lit, and the nearby patrol cavalry would quickly arrive.
By the time the convoy arrived at the city of Hiawatha, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the slanted red light added a little more meaning to the city, which was originally made of red sandstone, like a rough ruby that had not been carved.
Gehr's carriage mixed in with the traffic of a large merchant group, and slowly moved forward. This is a large merchant group that has been coming and going to the Amlock area all year round, and after meeting them on the border yesterday, Carmelita came forward to talk to them, and the four carriages were successfully merged into this merchant group, without any search or suspicion, showing the extraordinary influence of the Ingrid Church in this area.
Gehr left the carriage and sat beside Ida, who was driving the carriage, and surveyed the exotic city.
The tall reddish-brown walls stretched out on either side, and the gates, large enough for four carriages to run alongside, opened open to the bustling streets and crowds of the city. In the middle of the passage of the city gate stood a line of soldiers, dividing the road into two parts, one for people to go out and one for people to enter, so that the carriages in front of them were waiting to enter the city, and next door were some people who were negotiating with the guards to leave the city.
The guards were all dressed in yellow-brown leather armor, with helmets and spears, and were heavily armed.
When Gehr's caravan carriage marched to the city gate, a man who looked like a steward got out of the carriage, smiled and whispered a few words to a guard who was a little different from the other companions' attire, and stuffed a small bag for the other party, and the other party accepted it with a smile and instructed the guards to let the caravan go.
"As long as you don't make trouble in your jurisdiction, these soldiers don't care who you are, so there are often bandit bandits who will send people to the city to buy supplies or sell stolen goods. Date introduced Gell to the side.
Gehr nodded, glanced around, and found that these guards were all elite, and they all had a bloody aura unique to veterans after a long battle, which was not comparable to those child soldiers who had just come out of the training camp. Because of this, these guards are also particularly able to calm the scene and ensure the smooth operation of the city gate.
"Get out of the way!
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the street inside the city gate, and the carriages and pedestrians who had been on the road spread out to both sides, and after a while, they spread to the city gate, causing some confusion on the road outside the city.
"Spread out, spread out, get out of the way......"
The guards at the city gate began to command, quickly removing the carriages that were inside the city gates, and directing the convoys waiting outside to enter the city to get out of the way on both sides of the road.
Gehr and the others followed the carriage in front of them to the side, and for a while the people on the side of the road were chattering, and it seemed a little noisy.
After a while, a dense sound of horses' hooves sounded from inside the city, and quickly spread outside the city, covering all the noise.
With the sound of horses' hooves, dozens of heavily armed cavalry quickly passed through the city gate in a neat formation and rushed into their field of vision.
"It's the Dragon Flame Knight!" the crowd on the side of the road began to stir.
Geer heard the chatter of the crowd around him, and looked at the rapidly approaching cavalryโin the passage vacated by the crowd on both sides, the group of cavalrymen were all dressed in dark red carved plate armor, wearing full-cover feather helmets, carrying long, dark red cavalry spears, with a square half-length shield painted with flame insignia hanging on the right side of the horse, and a cross sword at the waist, sitting steadily on a strong war horse galloping, like a burning flame.
There were a total of thirty-three dragon flame knights, three standard cavalry squads.
Phew!
Suddenly, the neighing sound of horses sounded, and the Dragon Flame knights instantly stopped their horses, instantly completing the transformation from extreme movement to extreme stillness.
Let's go it.
The leading dragon flame knight rode slowly to the position of the carriage belonging to the church of Ingrid, and the condensation that came out of the gap in the helmet was like a sharp sword that could pierce people's hearts, and his eyes were aimed at the church emblem on the carriage.
"Is it Miss Carmerita?" asked the Dragon Flame Knight in a loud voice.
"Long time no see, Podier. A beautiful figure with waist-length hair stepped out of the carriage and stepped on the ground in front of the Dragon Flame Knight.
"Good day, Miss Carmerita, it's an honor for you to remember your name. Your Highness, you will be very happy if you know that you are back. Podil touched his chest with one hand and saluted Camerita.
"Oh, His Highness Ursula in Hiawatha?" Camerita's voice was as cold as ever.
"No, Your Highness is still in Bern. Since the last time we met, His Highness has been thinking of treating you well, but there has been no chance, this time you come to Haysting again, please be sure to go to His Highness's palace with a good face. โ
"I got it. โ
"Thank you very much, and I beg your pardon for not being able to personally escort you to Bern. Podil turned to the Dragonfire Knights behind him and shouted, "Nits!"
"Yes, sir!" a dragon knight rode away from the group and came to Podier's side.
"You go to the city guard to gather two squads of soldiers and escort Miss Carmerita to Bern, subject to Miss's orders along the way. โ
"Yes, sir!" replied Nit spiritedly.
"Miss Carmerita, please accept your kindness. Podier continued to say to Camerita.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you. โ
"It is my pleasure to serve you. Podil saluted again, then reined his horse and turned the horse's head: "Go!"
The Dragonflame Knights activated again, rolling up billowing dust and smoke, and disappeared from sight in a short time.
Carerita ignored the Neet who had stayed behind and turned back into the carriage, but Neet didn't care, just rode slowly to the side of the carriage.
At this time, the order of the city gate returned to normal again, and the convoy began to move forward slowly.
With Podier's previous actions and Nit's pressure formation, the convoy did not encounter any inspection at all, and entered the city smoothly.
