Lord Highlander

  Chapter 428 427. Reaching Bena City

In the third winter after Duke Newman led the Bena Legion into the Warsaw plane, although the Bena Legion occupied the Handanar County, the eastern section of the Ganda Er Mountains, and a large area of ​​plains on both sides of the Pasjedi River Basin in the Warsaw plane. , drove the local aborigines into the depths of the Gandar Er mountain forest, and at the same time the evil spirit army in Handanar County was completely wiped out.

Today, the only stronghold of the Evil Ghost Legion in the eastern part of Ganda Er Mountain is Moyun Ridge, a hundred miles away from the forest farm. It is more like a nail firmly stuck in the western theater of the Benar Legion. The armored knights and nearly 10,000 heavy cavalry were hoarded in the forest camp, which effectively suppressed the evil ghost army on Moyunling.

Although Handanal County has developed a total of four cities and opened up a large area of ​​agricultural land and pastures, there are 14 forest farms and three mines in the eastern section of the Gandar Earl Mountains alone, which are continuously delivering to the Grand Duke Newman. Huge wealth, but the entire Bena army was pinned down in the Warsaw plane and it was difficult for Duke Newman to make a choice.

With the possession of the Warsaw plane, the relationship between Duke Ryan of the Busman family and the Angibald royal family continued to deteriorate. Duke Ryan Busman returned to the Warsaw plane in disgrace. The Royal Knights commanded by the Prince of Wales Withdrawing from the Warsaw plane one after another, the Busman Legion has experienced two consecutive defeats in the Warsaw plane in the past two months, causing the evil ghost army that was suppressed on the north bank of the Kempato River to be ready to move again.

If the Duke of Newman wanted to keep a large piece of fertile land on the Warsaw plane, he had to lead the Bena Legion to station in Handanal County. The huge expenses consumed by the Benar Legion every day made this piece of fertile land a nuisance in the eyes of Duke Newman. .

But if you want to give up the immediate vested interests, if the Legion wants to fully withdraw, not only will you have to hand over all the wealth of Handanal County, but you will also face high military expenditures and large rewards, which involve the interests of many noble lords , so the great lords of Bena Province will also agree to withdraw from the Warsaw plane, not to mention, they will have to pass through the portal through Epsom City.

  Duke Ryan Bousman may not easily let the Bena Legion withdraw from the Warsaw plane.

In this dilemma, the Maca plane owned by the Duke of Newman was attacked by the Hellhound Legion, and the outbreak of the war was located in the main city Vozmara next to the Maca plane. In a short period of time, dozens of villages and towns around the city of Wojmara were slaughtered by **** dogs. The defense line of the Maca plane shrank sharply, and the guards of Wojmara City did not dare to leave the city. The most important portal in the center of the city is occupied by the Hellhound Legion. That is the worst thing. Unless the portal with the Maca plane is completely destroyed, it will be equivalent to an attack from the Hell Demons. The connection channel of Roland Continent.

  In this emergency situation, the Bena Provincial House of Representatives issued a call-up order to various cities to summon the existing guard battalion knights to enter the Maca plane to clean up the Hellhound Legion that was raging everywhere in the Maca plane.

  …

  Suldak followed the troops dispatched by the Hailansa City Guard Battalion, and rushed to Bena City overnight in a magic airship.

  It takes half a month for the magic airship to go back and forth between Bena City and High Lansa City.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, the envoy from Bena City explained the current situation of the Maca plane to the knights of the guard battalion in Hailansa City, but his news was only transmitted to Bena City 8 days ago. Exactly how everything is still unknown.

What can only be determined is that the **** demons only dispatched low-level **** dogs this time. According to the calculations of the magic scholars in Bena City, it is probably because the transmission channel leading to the flame **** is not stable enough, and it can only pass through the **** dogs. Low-level Warcraft.

This is a medium-sized magic airship. Five hundred guard battalion knights plus dozens of crew members of the airship itself allow the airship to fly in the channel with a full load. Stop running until you reach the city of Bena.

  The city of Bena in the evening is like a huge astrolabe embedded with broken diamonds on the vast land.

Passing through the clouds and mist, I saw the lights lit up near the airport pier outside the city of Bena, like a group of fireflies flying in the air. When I flew closer, I realized that the lights that were bright and dark in the air were all magic. With the guiding light on the airship, more than two dozen magic airships floated in the sky outside the airport terminal, slowly circling around the airport terminal.

  The airport pier is already full of airships at the moment, and the workers on the pier are like worker ants, constantly unloading a large amount of supplies from the airship, and the airport pier outside the city is very lively.

   "This is Bena. I haven't been here for almost three years!" Carl stood by the fence, looking at the bright sparks under his feet, and said with emotion.

Suldak passed by Bena City in summer, but apart from buying some jewelry and long skirts, he was in a hurry and did not stay in this city. He was not very impressed with this city, only I remember when I passed the moat bridge, I saw several statues of heroes holding big swords standing on both sides of the bridge.

   Then he thought of the beautiful blond girl living in the city, and Suldak thought to himself: It is better not to disturb her life.

  Karl poked Suldak, who was distracted, and said excitedly: "Look, that airship is also full of knights."

A few tens of meters away, there was a larger airship that was riding side by side with Suldak's airship. The two airships were a little close to each other, and they were both sliding forward silently. A knight beside him couldn't help but Put your hands to your mouth, form a trumpet shape, and shout to the opposite side: "Hey! Where are you from? We are from Hailansa City..."

  The knights on the opposite airship shouted not to be outdone: "Knights of Hailansa City, hello! We are the Meijin City Guard Battalion!"

   "..."

  The crew members of the airship stood on the ramming corner in front of the deck, holding on to the railing with one hand, and shaking the bright lantern with the other, for fear that a magic airship would rush out of the **** and collide with them.

  As the special envoy of Bena City said, knights were sent from every city in Bena Province.

   When it was the turn of the Knights of Hailansa City to step off the airship, the magical airship hovered at the airport pier for most of the night.

Suldak and Karl followed the knight team down the tower obediently, and the teams of knights below the airport all walked out of the airport. Suldak also saw the white man who persuaded him to ride back to Hailansa The old man, wearing a thick leather jacket, holding a kerosene lamp and a command flag in his hand, is directing traffic at the gate of the airport terminal.

  The cold wind at night made his face flushed with cold, and a group of knights walked out from the airport. The outside of the airport was originally a very empty open space, but now there are various military supplies opposite.

  A group of knights held torches and wore red armbands on their arms, riding horses around the perimeter of the material pile.

  Under the leadership of Viscount Emmett, the knights of the High Lansa Guard Battalion quickly assembled, formed four neat rows of squares, and walked along the road from the airport terminal to Bena City, preparing to enter the city on foot.

At this time, the airport pier outside the city was crowded with knights arriving from other cities in Bena province. The magic caravans that can be rented in Bena city were already running at full capacity. Viscount Emmet did not bother with these magic caravans, he The guard battalion knights were quickly gathered together, and the special envoy of Bena City was going to return to the city. Viscount Emmet decided to take the knights into the city, planning to book a hotel and have a good sleep first.

  Five hundred knights spent a long week crammed into the magic airship, and everyone urgently needed to take a hot bath and sleep comfortably.

No one knows what is going on in the Maca plane. Viscount Emmet believes that the knights must maintain the most vigorous state to enter the Maca plane, so he directly summoned all the knights without waiting for the unified dispatch from Bena City. Walking into the city, although it was midnight, a large amount of supplies and troops mobilized from various places needed to enter the city, so the gates of Bena City remained open all night.

Even the city wall was full of guards, and all the bed crossbows placed on the commanding heights were lifted from the rain cloth. The sharp heavy crossbow arrows were installed on the arrow slots, and they were ready to shoot at any time. A group of knights walked along the city wall. Walking along the avenue into the city, there are often archers on the top of the city looking down at the city, and there is a tense atmosphere everywhere.

Boxes of materials are piled up outside the airport pier. These materials are piled up like a mountain. Many materials are roughly marked with numbers in white chalk. There are too many materials and they look messy. A wooden box ran into the darkness, no one would know' the illusion. But then Suldak also saw dozens of wooden crosses nailed on both sides of the road outside the yard, and almost every wooden cross nailed a poor man.

In such a cold night, these poor people are almost bare-chested, with their hands pierced into iron nails, firmly nailed to wooden crosses, and various wooden signs are hung around their necks. , it says 'thief', 'looter', 'disturber' and so on, among which the title of thief is the most, and the stolen goods are placed under their feet. It was livid, and it looked like it was dying, and some were howling in pain in the cold wind.

  Suldak looked away from them, and turned to look at the red armband knights who were riding horses and running non-stop outside the yard in the distance. The torches in their hands flashed a trail of light in the night.

Viscount Emmet did not choose to let the knights enter the city at the main city gate, but led the guard battalion knights to continue upstream along the moat for five kilometers. Sure enough, the city gate here was also opened, and there was no convoy waiting at the gate. As exaggerated as the side of the main city gate, after showing the identity of the knight of the Hailansa Guard Battalion, the guards at the gate of the city immediately let him go.

On the suspension bridge, Viscount Emmet stood at the gate of the city with three other captains of the guard battalion. He asked the twenty-five squadron leaders in the guard battalion to reorganize the number of knights in his squadron. When each squadron entered the city, , it is necessary to check the exact number of people, lest anyone enter the city among the knights of the Hailansa Guard Camp. After entering the city, Viscount Emmett showed his familiarity with the city and led a group of knights through the streets and alleys. Finally arrived in front of a hotel.

The hotel is a back-shaped five-storey building, with neat windows lined up on the beige wall. There is a row of waiters standing at the door of the hotel. After seeing Viscount Emmett, they hurried up and followed Viscount Emmett's instructions. , Divide the knights into five teams and quickly place them in this hotel.

  From the moment he stepped off the magic airship, Suldak never saw Lance and his magician friends again, as if they had suddenly disappeared into thin air.

   And Viscount Emmet also fully demonstrated his connections, quickly arranged for the knights to enter the city and found a place to live.

Suldak actually slept until noon, and when there was a continuous knock on the door in the corridor, he sat up suddenly from the bed, knowing that the guard battalion was about to assemble again, he hurriedly washed it Face, when he opened the door, he found that the corridor was already full of knights, and everyone walked into the restaurant of the hotel under the leadership of their respective squadron leaders.

The dining table was already filled with sumptuous food. Viscount Emmett and the other three captains were standing in front of the main seats of the restaurant. The knights walked into the vacant seats in the restaurant one by one. A plate was placed in front of each seat. , stewed meat, pea puree, corn soup and baked wheat cakes, this restaurant is actually big enough to accommodate 500 guard battalion knights.

  Before the formal meal, Viscount Emmet stood up again, coughed twice before saying to the knights:

"According to the arrangement of the headquarters, it is our turn to enter the Maca plane at eight o'clock tonight. The headquarters requires us to gather in front of Times Square before six o'clock and prepare for entering the portal at any time. Prepare, each knight is only allowed to wear full-cover armor, wear a knight's long sword and shield to pass through the portal, and you will also be part of the delivery personnel, and each knight will carry a box of supplies into the portal. Even our captains are no exception."

  Suldak didn't expect the mission to come so quickly, and he didn't even have time to rest in Bena City.

Viscount Emmet continued: "You can move freely during this afternoon, but I don't recommend that you wander around in Bena City. The city is now in a state of combat readiness. Maybe some area will be temporarily blocked. If you are trapped Somewhere, don't expect anyone to rescue you, you must understand that I am just a little viscount, this is the central city of Bena province, anyone who passes by you may be an earl , dinner will start at four o'clock in the afternoon, well, you still have a little free time after lunch."

   After finishing speaking, Viscount Emmet waved his hand to signal the knights to start eating.

   At this time, a squadron leader stood up and asked Viscount Emmet loudly: "Viscount Emmet, this time we are performing a plane mission, do you have any good suggestions?"

Viscount Emmett thought for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Well, if I can give you some advice, if the economic conditions allow...then prepare a magic pocket for yourself, and prepare some more supplies to bring to Mama. Cafe side."

   "Didn't you say that the headquarters will allocate materials uniformly?" Another squadron leader asked straightforwardly.

  Viscount Emmet smiled slightly, but his eyes were a little cold, and he said casually: "If the headquarters can deploy well, there will be no need for us to carry the supply box into the Maca plane!"

  Suldak and Karl looked at each other. It seems that Viscount Emmet's prediction of the situation in the Maca plane is quite pessimistic!
