The horse-drawn carriage ran over the rugged road, driving the car body to be bumpy. It was predicted that the Chief Old Bank felt very uncomfortable sitting in the car.
As a wizard, there are many ways to make life in the wild comfortable. Such as summoning ghost horses, or flying skills, floating discs and mages' mansions.
But these arcane spells can't last long, and the wizard's spell slots are very precious, and the spells are not completely free of money. Therefore, long-distance travel is really a chore for a wizard with poor physique.
"It would be great if there is a long-distance portal."
Old Bank took out a tube of physical potion from the bag and poured it into his mouth. The medicament allowed his aging body to recover a bit of physical strength, and it would not be too uncomfortable.
A tube of potion is dozens of gold coins. This is money that the poor will never make in a lifetime, and for the wizard, it is just a strengthening effect that lasts for a few hours.
Ugh... ...
Old Bank adjusted the cushions in the carriage to make his butt feel better. After the potion took effect, he couldn't help but think of Victor Hugo's "combination order" in Coldwind City, selling various magic items at low prices.
Expensive potions can be discounted by two to thirty percent, so that low-level wizards can also afford to use them, and even the labor of work can drink potions to maintain their physical strength, so as not to die from exhaustion during heavy labor.
With this hand, the wizard system of Coldwind City was disintegrated.
"That bastard really made a lot of good things. He is even more genius than Fabro. Unfortunately, he is an enemy, and a very tricky enemy."
Old Bank was on his way to Broken Bridge City. The winding road in the wilderness seemed flat, but in fact it was covered with shallow pits and rocks. When the wheel ran over it, it would inevitably tremble.
But this is much more comfortable than the old two-wheeled carriage.
It is predicted that the chief carriage is specially made, and the axle was taken back with the team led by Sir Exxon. But the craftsmen of Banshee Fort studied for a long time and couldn't even dismantle the two sections of bearings.
The four-wheeled heavy-duty carriage in Coldwind City has been around for more than half a year, and hundreds of them have been manufactured, and they are inevitably lost. The Banshee Castle either steals or robs, or abducts or cheats, and always gets some key parts.
The Bouche family even spent a lot of money to get a whole car, the car is full of magical technological innovations, so that the nobles of Banshee Fort admire it.
An ordinary freight carriage was renovated, with gorgeous silk and inlaid with a noble family crest, and it became a high-end goods exclusively for the patriarch to travel.
Only the subjects close to the patriarch are eligible to be invited to experience the enjoyment brought by black technology.
As for the old Bank's car, only the axles are original, and the others are imitations.
But the craftsman's skills are not good, the materials are not good, and the overall design ideas are even more uncertain. As a result, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog. The structure of the car body has become “more water on the surface, and more water on the surface”, which is complicated and heavy.
From Banshee Fort to Broken Bridge City, all the way is a hundred kilometers, which is not easy to walk. The'normal' team speed is not much faster than walking, and it takes four or five days to complete the race at the fastest.
Old Bank ran on the carriage for two full days, just to get time to contact Broken Bridge City and attack Coldwind City together.
Others will despise Victor Hugo, but it is predicted that the chief will not. When the nobles of Banshee Castle broke their fingers to calculate how much force Coldwind City could dispatch, he already felt that a certain threat was approaching.
Victor Hugo would not stay in the old nest waiting to be beaten because of the lack of manpower, otherwise he would not be able to kill from the near-dead Black Forest and become the new owner of Coldwind City.
In the Black Forest, there is a glacier crossing the Northland, linking many cities. Broken Bridge City was built along the river just like Cold Wind City. There is indeed a bridge that crosses the river hundreds of years ago next to the city.
The bridge broke down because of disrepair. But the city is named for it.
Old Bank hurriedly hurried, and when he saw the great shield badge of the Halton family in Broken Bridge city still hung on the top of the city, he was finally relieved. It was night before he arrived at the city, and he had to let the attendants who accompanied him to inform the wall of his identity.
After waiting for more than half an hour, a few wizards came on the wall, put down a hanging basket and pulled the chief prophecy up.
The circle of wizards is very small. Old Bank of Coldwind City is very famous and everyone knows each other. After he boarded the city, he said that he wanted to see the city lord, the head of the Horton family, Kyle Horton.
"Your Lord is not here." The wizard of Broken Bridge City bluntly told.
"Not here?" Old Bank was very surprised, "Where did your city lord go?"
The wizard in the city was embarrassed, and whispered after several times of facing each other: "The Horton family is gathering teams to prepare for an attack on Coldwind City in the near future, but the opponent suddenly attacked us yesterday."
Old Bank was even more surprised, "Victor Hugo launched a siege on you?"
No..., the wizard in the city shook his head and said: "He was harassing our manor outside the city with a cavalry of about a hundred people. Yesterday, he washed and looted more than a dozen villages, pure destruction.
The slaves were driven out, the houses were burned, the crops in the fields were trampled on, and the village was reduced to rubble. That guy is bold, fast, and ruthless.
The city lord was completely stunned when he received the news, and didn't know the details of the attack on the manor until last night, and only this morning did he figure out that Victor Hugo did it. "
The wizards of Broken Bridge became more and more angry and cursed. This act of hit and run is no different from a bandit, without aristocratic demeanor and knighthood, but it is extremely disgusting.
Ordinary villages have wooden fences at best to guard against wild beasts, and there will be no strong military garrison in the village, and they cannot stop the wolf-like Victor Hugo.
More than one hundred cold wind city cavalry invaded like fire, angering the ownership of Broken Bridge City in one day. The city lord Kyle Holden just gathered about two hundred military nobles, hula la and went out to seek revenge.
"Where does your city lord go to find Victor Hugo?"
"Look in the direction of Cold Wind City."
"No, your city owner is afraid of danger." Old Bank was full of warning signs, "Victor Hugo certainly didn't provoke casually."
The wizards in the city looked at each other, and one of them whispered: "Our city lord has brought more than two hundred people, all of whom are regular knights. There are more than a dozen wizards and priests accompanying them, so you shouldn't be afraid."
Old Bank said angrily: "What if Hugo has more than a hundred cavalry?"
The wizards in the city were even more inexplicable. One person asked, "The nobles of Coldwind City died and fled, and the wizard group almost disbanded.
We calculated that Victor Hugo only had more than 110 cavalry. "
Only nobles in the alien world can train professional armed forces. In their eyes, only those who ride horses have combat effectiveness.
What is an infantry? The slaves who carry farm tools and are responsible for waving the flag and shouting. They don't eat well and don't wear warmly. They are'talking animals'.
Even the old Bank calculated it, and he only counted that Zhou Qingfeng had about a hundred cavalrymen under his command. More than half of this cavalry were formerly armed servants of poor strength, not real knights.
There is a big difference in combat power between the two.
"Maybe Hugo hired a large number of adventurers. He did this when he was in the Black Forest." Old Bank reminded.
Uncle Zhou played various adventure dungeons in the Black Forest, and indeed attracted the adventurers from the entire Northland. That group of people did not have one thousand but eight hundred, and they are still fighting for the forest.
However, the combat effectiveness of the adventurers is uneven, and the wizards dismissed them with a sneer. "Adventurers may be okay to fight alone, but facing the real knight's impact is simply rubbish."
Adventurers do have this problem. Fighting bravely, they are all strong. Really want to play a big scene, they escape faster than rabbits.
Old Bank thought about it, and deliberately reminded him: "Find a way to contact your city lord. If you can't contact, send someone to find and support.
Victor Hugo is definitely not easy to deal with. He was probably deliberately harassing, just to draw your troops out and annihilate them. You can't be too careless! "
The wizards in the city looked at each other, feeling that this reminder was absurd but quite worrying. Victor Hugo is already notorious, and it's really not good to be too contemptuous.
The wizards discussed it and decided to take Old Bank into the city and hand the problem to the left-behind high-level family for headaches.
At this moment, the Coldwind City Infantry Regiment under the command of Mahan was starting from Lugu Town, and more than 500 soldiers all took the heavy-duty carriage and rushed forward to an unnamed village 20 kilometers away.
