Finally ushered in the rare warmth of winter, the horse's hooves trampled on the dry and hard soil, the warmth of the sun made people lazy, the surface of the armor was slightly revealing a trace of residual warmth, and the cavalry rode on their horses, enjoying this rare and comfortable time.
It was as if the atmosphere of war, the tragic battle that had been desperate for life and death not long ago, was far away from them.
Char was at the end of the queue, he was a little reluctant to follow the procession, Cato rode with him beside him, and the smuggler didn't know where to make a bottle of ale, a small bottle, dozens of cavalry took turns to take a sip, the wine flowed into the stomach pouch, coupled with the warm sun, so that the whole person was hot from the inside out.
When the wine bottle was in Char's hand, there was only one last sip left, he hesitated, smiled and handed the bottle to Cato, Cato didn't shirk, raised his neck and drank it all in one sip, wiped his mouth, and gestured to the front of the team with his eyes: "You plan to go all the way, ignore that guy" Char rolled his eyes, and then shook his head: "Forget it, the general said, be polite to him, if he doesn't come to provoke me, I won't pay attention to him." ” In front of the queue was a carriage, the carriage was not luxurious, after all, it had just experienced a war, and only a large cart for transporting grain was found in the barracks, and it was simply modified, and it became Bonfret's car, but this knight, who had always liked to enjoy, accepted it without saying a word, jumped into the carriage at the same speed as an escape, and set off in a hurry, as if he did not want to stay in the garrison of the Thirteenth Corps for a second.
The Lord Sir put on his sumptuous robes again, and the ornate but fragile armor of paper, and even his attendants who had brought them from the Imperial City of Yanjing raised their heads proudly again, and they were proud all the way.
Sir Bonfrett had not come down since he had been in the carriage, not even stopping to rest on the way.
Char and Cato maliciously speculated: Could it be that this guy who sells ass even needs someone to bring him a urinal into the carriage even when he pees On this trip, Sharpa did not accompany him because of his injuries, this brave man followed Charyan's two hundred cavalry out of the city in the last battle, and the medical officer in the army said that his injuries could not be ridden for a month Poor Sharpa fell off his horse in the midst of the chaos, and as a result, his butt was scraped by the axe of the Odin Fifty guards cavalry, plus fifty followers, made up a team of 100 horses, escorted Bonfret and his retinue, after a day of slow walking, came to Wildfire Town in the evening, They will rest here for the night before they travel.
The turtle who returned to Wildfire Town was very emotional for a while, the last time he left here, he was besieged by dozens of imperial soldiers, and when he escaped, he even knocked out a large hole in the city gate.
In the previous war, although Hastings did not really come to attack Wildfire Town, the defenders in the town were also panicked for a while, and strengthened the city gate, and when they entered the city, Char saw a large amount of wood piled up at the city gate.
The Imperial soldiers guarding the gates were obviously much more relaxed, as if once the war was over, these Byzantines couldn't wait to start planning to go home, and the soldiers patrolling the wildfire town were too lazy to keep their spirits up.
The streets were still deserted, and most of the shops were closed, but the tavern business was back on the rise, and mercenary warriors or adventurers dressed in different costumes began to appear, and it is said that these guys offered to help the defenders defend the city when they were threatened in Wildfire Town, although they did not actually fight later, but this kind gesture won the trust of the defenders.
In general, Wildfire Town is recovering, and it will probably return to its free state of political axe after the Byzantines retreat.
The largest building in the town is the Mayor's Mansion in Wildfire, which is actually a slightly larger yard and two rows of houses with two two-story sentry posts erected in front of the door.
Now it was temporarily occupied by the Byzantine army and became a garrison.
Bonfret and his party went directly into the garrison mansion, but Char didn't want to live in that place, but the garrison general here had no friendship with him, not only did he not have a friendship, but Liang Zi had some, when Adric met him, he also whipped the garrison general a few times.
Char, the bald man, sighed and ordered himself to stop thinking about it.
Char sent someone to the garrison mansion to register, and then took a group of brothers directly to the tavern opened by Aunt Sofia's husband.
And Totaro mysteriously led a group of servants to run out, the magician's mind is not a secret, he took the newly recognized group of brothers to find a field, those ruffians who bullied him at the beginning, those bastards who robbed, all have to pay the price for daring to bully the noble Lord Tatara As soon as he walked into the tavern, he saw One-Eye standing behind the counter, still wiping the wine glass with a dirty cloth, Char couldn't help but smile on his face, and greeted him first.
One-eyed saw Char wearing a soft armor of the cavalry of the Byzantine Empire, and began to be a little puzzled, and then a smile appeared on his face, still showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and he grinned and shouted: "Hey, look who is here, this is not our little turtle, now he has become a Byzantine officer."
Char sat in front of the bar, slapped the table, and laughed loudly: "One-eyed, you guy, don't think that you can fool the past by saying two good words, I also saved a bottle of good wine with you last time, have you already drunk it secretly." ” After speaking, he pounded the table vigorously: "Brothers, find your own place to sit, here is the best ale in Wildfire Town, one-eyed old fellow, bring them ten barrels first, I will pay the bill, and also, everyone here today, I invite everyone to have a drink" That last sentence made the tavern drinkers burst into laughter.
These guys are all natives of Wildfire Town, and many Char knows them.
Char touched his pocket, there were still a lot of gold coins left by Chip and the poor worm, although he was a turtle, but he was also bold after he was rich, for this kind of lavish spending scene, I didn't know how many times I dreamed of it before, and today it is rare to be majestic, and my heart is also dark.
The cavalry were happy, anyway, it was not a war, and the task of this trip was simple, and the leader invited a drink to drink, where was there any reason to refuse In less than a moment, the tavern was boiling, several large wooden barrels were brought out, and the cavalrymen grabbed their cups and drank them in large gulps.
There were already a lot of drinkers sitting in the tavern, and Char greeted them one by one, and in addition to some old acquaintances, he also saw a few unfamiliar faces, probably adventurers who had only recently arrived. was chatting casually, but he heard the conversation of several adventurers at the table next to him, which attracted Char's attention.
"Now this world is really alive and well, I've seen the Odin, I've seen the Byzantines, I've seen the Lantis, I've seen the people of the Free Lord, and even the dwarves appeared a few days ago, but now I didn't expect even the goblins to form a fucking caravan to run to do business."
"yes, what can goblins sell for those things, is it human jerky hahaha" Char immediately paid attention, he leaned over, put the wine glass on the other party's table, raised his buttocks, squeezed out a position, and said with a smile: "What interesting thing are you talking about, is there a goblin in our wildfire town?"
In his heart, he was surprised that within a radius of a hundred miles, the only goblin was the Oaks in his own house.
Could it be that this princess is not good-looking, but he ran to the wildfire town to fool around The two adventurers were wearing leather armor and weapons, with a fierce appearance, glanced at Char, seeing that he was dressed as an officer, and smiled politely, one of them said loudly: "Isn't it two days ago that the news came that Hastings had retreated, and the town opened the city gates, and guess what happened The first caravan that came was actually a goblin, you said it's strange, it's not strange that a dozen humans with seven or eight carts, loaded slowly, and covered tightly, I don't know what it is."
And there were more than a dozen goblins with him, those green-skinned guys chirping and screaming one by one, and they were wearing broken copper and iron, and the knives in their hands were rusty, and I don't know if they were dug out of some grave. ” A dozen goblins In this way, it's not Oakes.
Char lost interest, he didn't care about these things.
But I heard another adventurer continue: "What's even more strange, those goblins came to the town and clashed with a few mercenaries that day.
Originally, those goblins were skinny, everyone was waiting to see the jokes, but the leading goblin was really fucking powerful, a mid-level samurai, he was cut to the ground with a few axes, it was really a hell of a god, I have never heard of such a powerful goblin in my life, let alone seeing it. ” Char is interested, can goblins be so powerful?
"Well, the funniest thing is that I heard that the goblin leader doesn't seem to have a good temper, and after coming in, I asked if I had ever seen a beautiful goblin, and said, and said" This guy resisted the urge to laugh wildly, and finally laughed out loud: "And said, its wife is lost, it came out to find his wife, you say it's funny hahahahahaha" To be continued:
