There are dozens of vehicles in Princess Rex's team, and with Faerun there, the food does not need to be carried in vehicles, it is just tents and the like. WWw, QuANbEn-XiAoShUo, cOm, these vehicles are exquisitely constructed and can run not much slower than horses on the official roads of the Qin Yin Empire.
All the way away, the pursuers in Hadith City ran for two hours, but they couldn't find any trace of the Ku Shui Army.
The forty or so Qingqi had no choice but to walk back dejectedly and turned around a forest. Three people stood in the middle of the road, blocking their way. Although these forty or so light cavalry lacked actual combat skills, and the worst were high-level swordsmen, they immediately dispersed, drew their riding swords, and surrounded the three of them.
The three of them wore linen shorts and had no weapons in their hands. They all wore metal gloves. The leading Qingqi sneered and stepped forward. The clothes of these three people are obviously from the West, and they have bad intentions in stopping them here.
The three people blocking the road all have short hair, high noses, and deep eyes. Seeing someone charging forward on horseback, the three men moved their positions. Two of them punched from the side. The man on the left hit his metal fist directly on the sword, breaking the sword that was nearly a finger thick and making a crisp sound. the sound of. The person on the right hit Qingqi's thigh with his fist, and there was a horrifying sound of bones breaking. The war horse could not withstand the force of the punch and fell to one side.
The war horse fell to the ground, vomiting blood. The person on the other side of the horse kicked the Qingqi on the head. With a pop, the brains in the head spurted out, but the skull was not damaged.
When the leader was killed, these light cavalrymen immediately charged forward with their swords. The length of the riding swords was suitable for horse fighting. As long as they were strong enough, they were easier to use than swords. They could break the armor when thrust straight. None of these three men were wearing armor, so they could be dealt with using beheading techniques.
The three people in the middle of the road were not nervous either. They stood back to back and slashed the three swords on their heads. The three people took another step away. This time, they grabbed the swords with both hands and pulled the knight off the horse. Three war horses blocked the attack from behind. At this time, dozens of feather arrows suddenly flew out of the woods, and unexpectedly shot a dozen light riders off their horses.
The three people trapped suddenly burst out with powerful power. The surface of their bodies emitted white light, their figures became blurred, and the metal gloves on their hands burst out with divine words and floated in the air.
The sound of metal breaking through the air was heard. Before the three Qingqi could see clearly what happened, the bones in their chests were shattered by a punch. These three men jumped like flying and killed more than ten people in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Qingqi turned their horses around and tried to escape. There was a reversal between offense and defense. Three men in linen short shirts grabbed the riding swords, jumped on the horses that had lost their owners, and chased after them.
After chasing for more than ten miles, the three men killed all the more than forty light cavalry and rode north.
After more than an hour, more than a hundred cavalrymen came from the west road and saw the bodies on the road. Several soldiers jumped off their horses, checked the body, and said to the leading officer: "It's Gaia and the others."
The officer saw all his usual companions' heads cut off and rolling on the roadside, feeling inexplicably sad and angry.
"Kushui Army, let me see how you explain to His Majesty. Pack them up and take them back. There is no need to chase." The officer knew that if he continued to chase, he would end up with the same fate. The Ku Shui Army is so powerful that it cannot be defeated by just one person in his own brigade.
Moving forward slowly, the cavalry team came to the vicinity of the woods. Seeing all the corpses and dozens of feather arrows, they were even more certain that this was the work of the Ku Shui Army. Feather arrows are the standard equipment of the empire. They are all sharp steel arrow clusters that can break armor. The arrow feathers are made of relatively precious carved feathers.
This kind of cyan mercenary with carved feathers is not allowed to be used, nor are the private soldiers of the nobles. They can only be seen in the regular army of the empire.
The Ku Shui Army didn't know that they were taking the blame for someone else, so they just accelerated their marching speed, almost twice as fast as before. There are no high mountains to the east of Hadithay City, and the cavalry can run on a flat plain.
Princess Rex walked around the city without contacting any nobles. Within ten days, she arrived at Holy Rock City.
Fifty miles outside the city, there is a small town, but it is used for the imperial garrison. Once here, the Ku Shui Army could no longer gallop. Except for the cavalry protecting the princess's vehicle, the remaining soldiers had to dismount and walk.
There were mostly mages in Princess Rex's car, so she entered the town without getting out of the car.
The town is entirely occupied by military personnel, and there are no citizens from the empire. Entering the town, Salin felt that the atmosphere of the whole town was very unusual. In the Bitter Water Army, Salin felt like he was protected by thick metal, giving him a sense of peace of mind. Although this town does not have a chilling atmosphere, the pressure is directed at anyone who enters.
The soldiers patrolling the streets all have heavy armor, short guns, and alchemical crossbows hanging from their waists. This town defends the imperial capital and is well equipped with weapons. The soldiers leading the team are all sword masters.
The person who received the princess was a young nobleman with a family crest on his armor and etched on his chest. This is at least the heir of a certain family, but he does a reception job here.
This young nobleman was handsome, smart and capable, and calmly commanded his men to arrange military camps for the Kushui Army.
Princess Rex got out of the car, and Salin and others followed. Salin discovered that Princess Rex's temperament suddenly changed after entering this town. In Bushui County, Princess Rex is also reserved and has a natural noble temperament. However, she can talk and laugh calmly with the mage, and there is no sense of any pressure on her body.
But now, Princess Rex is obviously still the same person, but she exudes a compelling power.
"Baron, thank you for your hard work." As soon as Princess Rex spoke, even her voice changed. It was no longer the slightly stiff tone of Kushui County. Her voice was crisper, and the tail tone was not so short, a little lingering and ethereal. . It sounds great, but it feels like a giant thousands of miles away.
"Your Excellency, this is my responsibility." The young noble has not inherited the title, so Princess Rex calls him a baron, which is just a habit. He didn't dare to be presumptuous and respectfully addressed Rex as "Your Excellency", which was naturally to close the relationship. The army of the imperial capital has always been in the hands of the emperor. There is a conflict between the princess and the prince. Everyone knows it, but the prince cannot control this place. He naturally has to stand in line, otherwise even the succession of the title will be a problem.
"I'm tired. Arrange these people with me." Princess Rex pointed at Feilun and others. The young noble took one look and bowed respectfully without any nonsense. He didn't want to offend a group of mages even if the magician Faerun wasn't around. Several of the low-level mages brought by the princess are about to be promoted. The great magician is a powerful force. Except for the sword master, it can only be defeated by superior force.
In addition to guarding the imperial capital, this town was also responsible for receiving nobles entering the city from the east. However, it was rare for Princess Rex to lead thousands of troops. It took more than half an hour to finally settle down the Ku Shui army.
The Qin Empire admires art, but this is a military town, and everything is strong and durable. Princess Rex's post house is just a two-story building, with a huge granite base and nearly two-story blue tiles. Long, simple, heavy style.
After everything settled down, Princess Rex stopped the young nobleman who was about to leave and asked: "Is your father Count Conde?"
"Yes." The young noble's expression remained as usual, without any hint of flattery.
"May I have your name?"
"Scott, Scott Frio, your Excellency."
"How many years have you been here?"
"Only two years." Scott replied respectfully, also a little pleased. The princess asked him his name because he planned to have a chance to support him in the future. Although it is not a problem for him to inherit the title, he still has a younger brother. According to the laws of the empire, it is difficult to become a hereditary noble. At most, he can be granted an ordinary baron.
"I remember Count Conde. I met him many times when I was a child. Is he okay?"
"Fortunately, he just won't lead the army anymore. His Majesty asked him to handle palace affairs. He plans to enter the House of Lords in a few years."
"Well, I understand. Come over before I go into town tomorrow afternoon."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Scott then smiled happily. The princess asked him to come here just to ask him about things in the imperial capital. This is an obvious win over. It is not necessary to know the news about the imperial capital from him.
"Go down." Princess Rex yawned. Scott bowed and backed out, barely able to hold back his laughter. It was very rude to yawn in front of him. The princess did it deliberately to show her closeness.
In Salin's room, Nailis had already laid down, very sleepy. She ate the flesh and blood of the Silver Sword Master and also absorbed the power of the soul, so she had to digest it well.
Salin said to Sika: "Tomorrow we will enter the Holy Rock City. I have to remind you of some things. It is the capital of the Qin Yin Empire, and there are many powerful people. If anything happens, don't rush to take action. The princess will take care of everything. Woolen cloth."
"What if someone bullies you?" Sikka asked seriously.
"No one in the imperial capital of the Qin Yin Empire would be rude to a mage. Your weapon is also a bit troublesome. You can keep the boomerang and leave the stick to me."
According to imperial law, in the imperial capital, swords cannot exceed three feet. This sword is not just a sword weapon, any long weapon is not allowed to be carried with you, unless you are a licensed person in the imperial capital.
Sikka nodded and handed the stick to Salin, who put it into the ring of grace.
"Go and rest. The princess will give you some instructions tomorrow."
"Okay, be careful." Sika reluctantly left. Salin patted the sleepy Nailis and said, "Go down and sleep."
"Master? The ground is so cold." Nailis opened her eyes, feeling sleepy. She took off her coat and kept her original attire, lying on her chest, looking pitiful.
Saleen looked at the cold stone ground and lay helplessly next to Nailis. Even though he knew she was a demon, Salin didn't want to be so cruel and let Nailis sleep on the cold stone.
"Owner… "
"What?"
call…
Salin waited for a long time, and what he heard was Nailis's snoring.
