Chapter 0610 preparations (3)
The carriage ran over the rugged road, causing the car body to bump. The prediction that the chief old banker felt very uncomfortable sitting in the car.
As a wizard, there are many ways to make life in the wild comfortable, such as summoning shadow horses, or flying techniques, as well as floating discs and mage mansions.
But these arcane techniques cannot last for too long, and the wizard's spell position is very precious, and casting is not entirely cost-effective. Therefore, for wizards with poor physique, long-distance travel is really a chore.
"It would be great if there was a long-distance portal."
Old Bank took out a tube of physical potion from the item bag and poured it into his mouth. The potion restored his aging body to some physical strength and would not be too uncomfortable.
A tube of potion is dozens of gold coins, which is a money that the poor will never make in their lifetime, and it is only a reinforcement effect for wizards that last for a few hours.
well
Old Bank adjusted the cushion in the car to make his butt feel better. After the potion took effect, he couldn't help but think of Victor Hugo's "order buying" in Hanfeng City, selling various magic items at a low price.
Expensive potions can be used for 20% or 30% off, so that low-level wizards can afford them. Even coolies who work can drink potions to maintain their physical strength, so as not to die of exhaustion during heavy work.
With this trick, the wizard system of Hanfeng City was disintegrated.
"That guy really created a lot of good things, even more genius than Fabro. Unfortunately, he is an enemy, and he is still a very tricky enemy."
Old Bank was on the way to Broken Bridge City. The winding wilderness road seemed flat, but was actually covered with shallow pits and stones. When the wheels were rolled up, they would inevitably shake.
But this is much more comfortable than the old two-wheeled carriage.
The Prophecy Chief's carriage is specially made, and the axle was snatched back by Sir Exxon the last time. But the craftsmen of Banshee Castle studied for a long time and could not even dismantle the bearings of two sections.
The four-wheel heavy-duty carriage in Hanfeng City has appeared for more than half a year, and the number has been created by hundreds, and it is inevitable that it will be lost. The Banshee Castle can always get some key parts.
The Buqi family spent a lot of money to get a complete vehicle, and the entire vehicle was full of magical technological innovations, which made the nobles of the Banshee Castle admire it.
An ordinary freight carriage has been renovated, paired with gorgeous silk and inlaid with noble family emblems, becoming a high-end goods for patriarchs to travel and transportation.
Only subordinates who are close to the patriarch are eligible to receive invitations and experience the enjoyment brought by black technology.
As for the car that Old Bank rides, only the axle is original, and the others are imitation.
However, craftsmen’s skills are not good, materials are not good, and the overall design idea is even more uncertain. The result is that they cannot become a dog. The car body frame forms the “add more water on the surface and add more water on the surface”, which is complicated and overwhelming.
From Banshee Castle to Broken Bridge City, it is a hundred kilometers long, which is not easy to walk at all. The speed of the "normal" convoy is not much faster than walking, and it takes as much as four or five days to run the entire journey.
Old Bank ran on the carriage for two days without stopping, just to get the time to contact Broken Bridge City and launch an attack on Hanfeng City.
Others will despise Victor Hugo, but the prophecy chief will not. When the nobles of Banshee Castle calculated with their fingers how much force Hanfeng City could use, he felt that some kind of threat was approaching.
Victor Hugo would not stay in his nest waiting to be beaten because he had few people, otherwise he would not have been able to emerge from the almost dead Black Forest and become the new owner of Hanfeng City.
There is a glacier in the Black Forest that travels through the north and connects many cities. Broken Bridge City is also built by the river like the Cold Wind City. There is indeed a river-crossing bridge next to the city that was hundreds of years ago.
Because of the disrepair, the bridge collapsed. But the city was named because of this.
Old Bank rushed to the scene. When he saw the giant shield badge of the Halton family in Broken Bridge City was still hanging on the top of the city, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was already night under the city, and he had to let the accompanying servants inform the city wall of his identity.
After waiting for more than half an hour, several wizards came to the city wall and put down a hanging basket and pulled the Prophetic Chief up.
The circles between wizards are very small. The old Bank of Hanfeng City is very famous and everyone knows each other. After he climbed the city, he expressed his request to meet the city lord, the patriarch of the Halton family, Kyle Halton.
"Your Excellency the City Lord is not here." The wizard from Broken Bridge City told him frankly.
"Not here?" Old Bank was very surprised. "Where have you lord gone?"
The wizard in the city looked embarrassed and whispered after looking at each other several times: "The Halton family is gathering teams to launch an attack on Hanfeng City in the near future, but the opponent suddenly attacked us first yesterday."
Old Bank was even more surprised, "Victor Hugo launched a siege against you?"
No, the wizard in the city shook his head and said, "He was harassing the manor outside our city with a cavalry of about a hundred people. Yesterday, he washed away more than a dozen villages, purely destruction.
The slaves were driven out, the houses were burned, the crops in the fields were trampled, and the village turned into ruins. The guy was brave, acted quickly, and started ruthlessly.
The city lord was completely confused when he received the news. He didn't know the details of the attack on the manor until last night. He didn't find out this morning that it was dried by Victor Hugo."
The wizards in Broken Bridge City became more and more angry and cursed. This behavior of running away after fighting was no different from that of bandits, without any aristocratic demeanor or knightly cultivation, but was extremely disgusting.
At most, ordinary villages have wooden fences to guard against wild animals, and there will be no strong force in the village to defend against them. They cannot stop Victor Hugo, who is like a wolf or a tiger.
More than one hundred cavalrymen in Hanfeng City invaded like fire, and in one day all the powerful people in Broken Bridge City were angered. The city lord Kyle Halton happened to gather about two hundred military nobles and rushed out to find revenge on his opponent.
"Where are you going to find Victor Hugo?"
"Look in the direction of Hanfeng City."
"No, your city lord is afraid of danger." Old Bank's heart was filled with warnings, "Victor Hugo must not be provoking casually."
The wizards in the city looked at each other and whispered: "Our city lord has brought more than 200 people, all of whom are regular knights. There are more than a dozen accompanying wizards and priests, so you should not be afraid."
Old Bank said angrily: "What if Hugo had more than one hundred cavalry?"
The wizards in the city were even more inexplicable, and one of them asked back: "The nobles in Hanfeng City died, and the wizard group was almost disbanded.
We have calculated that Victor Hugo has only one hundred and ten cavalrymen under his command."
Only nobles in other worlds can cultivate professional armed forces. In their eyes, only those who ride horses can have combat effectiveness.
What is an infantryman? He is just a slave who is responsible for shaking flags and shouting with farm tools. He cannot eat well and wears warmly. He is a "talking animal".
Even after thinking about it, Zhou Qingfeng only found that there were about a hundred cavalry under his command. More than half of this cavalry were former armed servants with 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 copies in the Black Forest, which really attracted all the adventurers in the Northland. There were no one thousand or eight hundred people, and they are still fighting for the forest.
But the combat power of adventurers is uneven. The wizards disdained them and at most sneered at a sneer: "Adventurers may be fine to fight alone, but facing the impact of real knights is simply garbage."
Adventurers do have this problem. They are brave and fierce, and they are all strong. If they really want to play big scenes, they will escape faster than rabbits.
Old Bank thought about it and deliberately reminded him: "See a way to contact your city lord. If you can't contact, send someone to find him and support him.
Victor Hugo is definitely not easy to deal with. He may have been deliberately harassing you just to attract your troops and annihilate them. You shouldn't be too careless!"
The wizards in the city looked at each other, feeling that this reminder was too absurd but also quite worrying. Victor Hugo is already notorious, and it is really not good to look down on him too much.
The wizards discussed and decided to take the old bank into the city and hand over the problem to the left-behind family's senior management for a headache.
At this moment, the Hanfengcheng Infantry Regiment, commanded by Ma Han, was set off from Lugu Town. More than 500 soldiers were all riding on heavy carriages and heading straight to an unknown village twenty kilometers away.
