After that battle, the group never encountered any major trouble again.
More than ten days later, the carriage convoy entered the border of the Principality of Hastings.
After walking out of Mostington Grassland, looking around, the rolling mountains that could only be seen from a distance seemed to have been pulled into front of us. The ridges hidden in the sea of clouds continued to the end of the sight. This was the birthplace of perseverance.
and the Myra Mountains of the Hastings, who are world-renowned for their loyalty.
Of course, if you really want to reach the Mira Mountains, you will have to walk for at least two or three days. Now what is placed in front of the carriage team are rolling hills, dense trees, and prosperous animals and plants. Occasionally,
You can also see some convoys heading to the Principality of Haisting, most of which are caravans.
"It's still half a day's journey to Hiawatha City. It's time to take a good rest." Lucalyn, who hung a veil on her ears to cover the lower part of her nose, stretched and said with some emotion.
She borrowed this kind of veil from Carmelita. Although it was a bit painful to wear this thing in this hot summer, but compared with the "enjoyment" of the stench that the convoy members couldn't hide after the long journey, it was measured.
After a while, Lucaline still chose to wear a veil to filter out part of the stench.
"Well, it's time to take a rest." Geer looked at Luckarin's obviously tired eyes from above the veil and smiled tolerantly. This journey was indeed not easy for her who had lived a comfortable life since she was a child. "
There is a small intelligence transfer point in Hiawatha, Iona, when the time comes, you can go there and send our information back to San Lotaro, and Lucaline and I will not show up."
"No problem." Iona, who had stripped off her upper body to only a sweat-soaked red tube top, revealing her hot figure, nodded in agreement. She didn't even care that there was a male named Geer in the carriage, and
The fully clothed Lucaline became a very eye-catching contrast.
This situation means that Iona has a certain degree of trust in Geer as a man. Of course, this is also due to Geer's performance over a long period of time. In fact, appearance is not decisive for Geer.
When he was a soldier in the base before time travel, everyone there had been genetically optimized and adjusted. For women, it was not difficult to optimize the body, appearance, and even various details. Geer had long been used to it.
Take Carmelita, the most perfect and beautiful woman I have seen so far, for example. In that world, she can only be considered good, while Lucaline and Iona are just members of the general public.
What's more, after such a long journey, even the most beautiful women will inevitably have a strong body odor, and their appearance will be compromised by the fatigue of the journey. Geer doesn't mind getting close to women, but he won't take the initiative to find them.
Sin, just like Iona now, she is responsible for most of the sweat odor in the carriage. But Geer, a "stinky man" in the usual sense, is one of the cleanest and tidiest people in the group.
Hiawatha City is an important town on the southern border of the Principality of Haisting. Its main task is to defend the southern border of the Principality of Haisting. Another task equivalent to this important responsibility is to protect the safety of the southern trade routes, that is, to protect the people in this area.
Merchants who move across borders and conduct transactions.
As an extension of the Golden Passage during the Felian Empire, the Principality of Hastings has been adhering to the national policy of encouraging trade since its independence from the Felian Empire. As long as the safety of the journey is guaranteed, business will naturally prosper.
The interests of businessmen have also increased, and the tax revenue received by the principality will also increase. This is the lifeblood of the country for the Principality of Hastings, which has very poor resources and land. Therefore, in suppressing bandits and maintaining road safety, Shanghai
It can be said that the Principality of Si Ting spared no effort.
When the carriage convoy enters the border, the obvious change is that along the road in good condition, you can see a simple sentry tower every ten kilometers or so. The militiamen from the nearby villages are responsible for patrolling the top. Once a situation is discovered, a beacon fire will be lit.
, the nearby patrol cavalry will arrive quickly.
When the convoy arrived at Hiawatha, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. The slanting red light added a bit of redness to the city that was originally made of red sandstone, like an uncarved and rough stone.
of ruby.
Gale and his carriage were slowly moving forward among the traffic of a large business group. This was a large business group that traveled to the Elmrock area all year round. They met on the border yesterday. Carmelita came forward to negotiate with them.
After they had a conversation, the four carriages were successfully integrated into the business group without any search or suspicion, which showed the extraordinary influence of the Ingrid Church in this area.
Geer left the carriage, sat next to Ida who was driving the carriage, and looked at this exotic city.
The tall reddish-brown city walls extend to both sides, and the sides cannot be seen at a glance. The city gate is open enough for four carriages to pass side by side, and you can see the busy streets and crowded people in the city. There is a row of people standing in the middle of the city gate passage.
The soldiers divided the road into two parts, one for people to go out and one for people to enter. It can be seen that carriages lined up in front are waiting to enter the city, and next door are some people who are negotiating with the guards about leaving the city.
The guards are all wearing yellow-brown leather armor, wearing helmets and spears, and are fully armed.
When the caravan carriage Geer was in arrived at 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 dressed a little differently from other companions, and stuffed a small bag into his hand.
The other party accepted it with a smile and ordered the guards to let the caravan pass.
"As long as you don't cause trouble in the jurisdiction, these soldiers will not care about your identity, so there are often some bandit groups who will send people to the city to buy supplies or sell stolen goods." Ida introduced to Geer on the side.
Geer nodded, glanced around, and found that these guards were very elite, and they had the unique bloody smell of veterans who had experienced long battles. They were not comparable to those child soldiers who had just come out of the training camp. Because of this,
Therefore, these guards can also calm down the scene and ensure the smooth operation of the city gate.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
At this moment, there was a sudden noise on the streets inside the city gate. The carriages and pedestrians on the road originally dispersed to both sides, and soon it spread to the city gate, causing some chaos on the roads outside the city.
.
"Spread out, spread out, make way..."
The city gate guards began to direct, quickly moving the carriages inside the city gate away, and directing the convoys waiting to enter the city outside to move to both sides of the road.
Geer and the others followed the carriage in front and stepped aside. For a while, people on the roadside were talking about it, making it a bit noisy.
Not long after, a dense sound of horse hoofbeats sounded from inside the city and quickly spread outside the city, covering all the noise.
Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, dozens of fully armed cavalry lined up in neat formation and quickly passed through the city gate and rushed into the sight of Geer and the others.
"It's the Dragon Flame Knight!" The crowd on the roadside began to stir.
Geer heard the discussion of the crowd around him and looked at the cavalry who were approaching quickly - in the passage given by the crowd on both sides, the cavalry were wearing dark red full-body carved plate armor and full-face quills.
Feather helmet, carrying a long dark red lance, a square half-shield with a flame emblem hanging on the right side of the horse, a cross sword across his waist, sitting steadily on the strong horse and galloping, like a ball of burning
of flame.
There are a total of thirty-three Dragon Flame Knights, three standard cavalry squads.
Phew!
Suddenly the horses neighed, and the dragon flame knights instantly reined in their horses and stopped, instantly completing the transition from extreme movement to extreme stillness.
Bah, bah, bah.
The leading dragon flame knight rode his horse and slowly walked to the carriage belonging to Ingrid Church. The condensation from the gap in the helmet was like a sharp sword that could pierce people's hearts. His gaze was aimed at the church emblem on the carriage.
"Is this Miss Carmelita?" Dragon Flame Knight asked loudly.
"Long time no see, Podil." The beautiful figure with waist-length hair walked out of the carriage and stepped on the ground in front of the Dragon Flame Knight.
"Good day, Miss Carmelita, I'm honored that you still remember my name. Your Highness will be very happy to know that you are back." Bodil put one hand on his chest and said to Carmelita.
present.
"Oh, Your Highness Ursula is in Hiawatha?" Carmelita's voice was as cold as ever.
"No, His Highness is still in Bern. Since the last time we met, His Highness has been thinking about entertaining you, but he has never had the chance. This time you come to Hastings again, please be sure to go to His Highness's palace."
"I see."
"Thank you very much for your consent. Please forgive me that I am on a mission and cannot escort you to Berne in person." Podil turned to the Dragon Flame Knights behind him and shouted loudly: "Nite!"
"Here, sir!" A dragon flame knight rode out of the team and came to Podil's side.
"Go to the city guard station and mobilize two squads of soldiers to escort Miss Carmelita to Berne. Follow the lady's orders along the way."
"Yes, sir!" Nite replied energetically.
"Miss Carmelita, please be sure to accept my kindness." Podil continued to say to Carmelita.
"Okay, I'll trouble you then."
"It is my honor to serve you." Podil saluted again, then reined in the horse's reins and turned the horse's head in the direction: "Let's go!"
The dragon flame knights started up again, rolled up the billowing dust and smoke, and disappeared from the end of sight in a short time.
Carmelita ignored Nite who stayed behind and turned around to return to the carriage. Nite didn't care either, but just rode his horse and followed slowly beside the carriage.
At this time, the order at the city gate returned to normal again, and the motorcade began to move forward slowly.
Thanks to Podil's previous actions and Nite's pressure, the convoy did not encounter any inspections and entered the city smoothly.
