Ten carriages departed from Coldwind City and headed south along the road opened in the wilderness. The carriages are all heavy-duty models, and the carriages are closed, as if they were transporting goods to a warehouse in the Harmony Chamber of Commerce.
When the convoy exited the city gate, the horseman who drove the cart raised his whip to drive away the refugees who were surrounding him. The crackling of the whip was scary. But the refugees would rather get the whip to come forward.
Inside a carriage in the center, Old Bank's eyes can clearly see the situation outside through the observation hole of the carriage.
The long-legged family has been driven away for more than half a year, and the city has changed greatly.
On the way from Broken Bridge City, Old Bank noticed that the roads around Coldwind City had been completely renovated. The pavement is widened, rebuilt, compacted, drainage ditches are added, and special personnel are required to maintain it.
Part of the ramp curve has also been dug and straightened, the amount of work is not small, but the traffic environment has been greatly improved.
When the road is good, the circulation of personnel and materials will be convenient. Although the surrounding areas of the city are still poor, the lives of residents have been greatly improved.
As for the refugees outside the city, they have been around for decades. They are all bankrupt farmers or urban populations. They have nowhere but to work outside the city.
The Long-legged family has never controlled these refugees, and they don't know how many they are. The nobles only treat themselves as refugees like psoriasis, and they will be cleared away at every turn.
When Victor Hugo enters Coldwind City, he does everything possible to check the population. After the investigation in the city is completed, the people outside the city will be cleaned up, and strive to compile a realistic population roster.
Old Bank couldn't understand the purpose of this move. But after the roads and population were determined, at least the city became orderly as a result. This alone is great good governance.
Because every day the city will accept a part of the foreign population, if you are lucky, you can be a city resident. The refugees flocked up desperately, trying to find a subsistence job.
Because the opportunity is rare, as soon as the city gate is opened, no matter who comes out of the city, the refugees will come in. Even if the foreman is not a hired worker, it's okay to get a few whips.
Besides, the'Master' in the city is much more polite now, and hitting people doesn't hurt much.
But the convoy out of the city is not here to hire workers. The coachman drove with his whip and headed south. Ten heavy-duty carriages passed through the shanty towns outside the city, through the farmhouses in the surrounding villages, and through the woods and grasslands of the wilderness.
There were still several people in the carriage with Old Bank, but he didn't know him, only knew that they belonged to the'Special Weapons and Tactics Team' of the Coldwind City Inspection Office.
The name is so strange that it is totally incomprehensible. But the people in the city call this team the "hunting team", and the captain is Adrian, a close friend of the city owner.
There are more than a dozen members of this team, all of whom are basically at level five or six. There are orc warriors, half-elf archers, halfling wanderers, and priests of the "Mother of Plague", who specialize in doing wet work for the lord of the city.
Even after repeated cleanups, there are still a large number of bandits and evildoers around the city, even including wild beasts. Anyone who dares to make trouble around Coldwind City will be cleared by the'hunting team'.
This squad doesn't have much affection for the nobles.
Such as the halfling wanderer, a variant of the thief. He is a mute man, beating in the carriage like a monkey, staring at Old Bank's neck with a weird smile, hissing in his mouth, wanting to cut it open with a knife.
There are not only hunting teams on the ten carriages, but also Hugo's guards. More than twenty orc warriors, one-water aluminum alloy plate armor, and battle axe with adamantine coating.
The aluminum alloy has considerable magic resistance, and the adamantine-coated battle axe can break the magic. This is a team specially used to charge forward.
Leading the team is Todd, an orc savage looking stupid and stupid.
In addition, Mondino, the necromancer, Jason the alchemist, Druidnar and the dwarf witch doctor old Borg, who were not always dispatched, were also dragged on.
The maid of the lord is also there.
Old Bank even saw a girl with flowers on her head and black and white dress joining the team. The good name is to take care of the life of the lord.
But the girl squatted her mouth, she was crying, and she kept muttering in her back, "I don't know how to cast spells, what should I do if I really fight?"
If she didn't see her two pockets full of magic gems, perhaps Old Bank really felt sorry for her.
But now even the chief prophecy wants to stay away from her. Lest it really fight and be bombarded to death by this girl inexplicably.
Because of the good road conditions, the convoy arrived near the dense fog town 50 kilometers away in only half a day. After a few kilometers, the convoy slowed down because the road was full of people fleeing.
The people were unkempt, panicked, and all fled north, hoping to find refuge in Coldwind City. Just inquire a few words and know that Dense Mist Town was attacked by the Banshee Fort army, and the town has been lost.
The town of Dense Mist belongs to the Lehman family, and Baron Bishop refused the family's surrender and hanged its members one by one on the gallows outside the town.
Soldiers looted the town, robbed finances, and arrested slaves.
Today, the Lord Baron'will' take a rest in town for a whole night. Tomorrow he will lead hundreds of knights and thousands of infantry to fight against the hurriedly gathered Coldwind City'Rebellion'.
It stands to reason that the Baron will be attacked by a'powerful' cavalry at a critical moment in the battle tomorrow. He had to lose more than a dozen wizards and priests, more than a hundred noble knights and hundreds of infantry before he could win a tragic victory.
Even the Baron himself would be killed by Uncle Zhou who entered the second state in the'battle'.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhou didn't get well on his own, he was fooling around reading files.
When the ten heavy-duty carriages approached the town of Dense Fog, Old Bank thought that the Hugo collar would mainly join forces with the Lehman and Minos family. He dismissed it, feeling that Hugo was sure to lose, and sooner or later he would escape to the Black Forest.
But when the heavy-duty convoy approached Dense Fog Town but chose to bypass it, Old Bank couldn't understand what his new loyal lord was going to do.
Dense Mist Town is the border between Cold Wind City and Banshee Fort. After Dense Mist Town and further south, the road becomes very bad. The speed of the convoy dropped.
There will be some checkpoints along the way, and on the surface it is the blockade of Coldwind City. But the driver who drives the car can still pass smoothly as long as they give some money.
If someone wants to check what is loaded on the carriage, they will either be seduced and let go, or they will lose their lives.
Before dark, the convoy approached Banshee Fort from Coldwind City over a distance of more than 100 kilometers. More than forty people in the convoy entered an inconspicuous village to rest.
This village is just under the nose of the Buche family, less than three kilometers away from Banshee Fort. The people in the village were not surprised at the foreign convoy, and there was someone to guide the coachman into a closed forage yard.
When Old Bank got out of the carriage, he listened to Hugo, who led the team, instructing the coachman: "Take care of the horses and feed them the prepared beans and alfalfa. Let them rest for a good night, and we will have to rely on them to get back to the cold tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Windy City."
Hearing this, the chief prophet was shocked. The situation before him completely disrupted his expectations.
This is not right, something seems to have changed.
"Your Excellency, can you tell me your plan? Maybe I can provide some help." Old Bank walked to Zhou Qingfeng and asked.
"Oh, don't worry, I will use you. I need your help tonight." Zhou Qingfeng patted the old wizard on the shoulder, "You should rest first. Eat something, you have to do a lot of work at night."
After arriving at Banshee Fort, the team atmosphere became tense. The lord, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, also looks worried. Now it's no better than in the past, he doesn't have so many coupons to read files repeatedly.
You have to be careful at every step.
The village arranged a room for everyone in the team. Old Bank was surprised and confirmed one thing-Hugo secretly buried a dark pile near the Banshee Fort.
After entering his private room, Old Bank immediately performed astrological astrology, trying to gain some foresight of the future. He had used the same arcane spell before and saw a raging flame ignited in Coldwind City.
But this time, there was nothing.
Void couldn't give an answer, only darkness and emptiness.
At the same time, a carriage rushed to the gate of Banshee Fort to close the city forward.
Powell in the car landed and looked around the city streets, greatly relieved.
"Ah... I finally left Coldwind City. I finally got away from the damn Victor Hugo. I finally don't have to worry about it."
On the carriage, it was the illusionist Johnson and his beloved who were reluctant to be dragged by Powell. Johnson didn't say anything, but the cheap bird yelled, "Poor ghost, maybe you'll be even more unlucky?"
Powell was furious, "Damn bird, you shut up.
I finally rented this carriage for two days, just to stay away from that bastard. I am free, I am relieved, I am free from bad luck.
I don't believe Victor Hugo can come to Banshee Fort. This is impossible! "
"What if he comes?"
"I ate my shoes."
