Chapter 96 [Return to Wildfire Town]
Finally, the rare warm sun in winter came. The horse's hooves trampled on the dry and hard soil. The warmth in the sun made people lazy. The surface of the armor was slightly warm. The cavalry rode on the horse and enjoyed this rare and pleasant time.
It seemed that the atmosphere of war, the fierce battle that was life and death not long ago, was far away from them.
At the end of the queue, Chara followed the team unwillingly, and Kato rode with him next to him. The smugglers didn't know where they made a bottle of ale, a small bottle, dozens of cavalrymen took turns to take a sip. The wine flowed into the stomach sac, and the warm sunlight made the whole person feel hot from the inside to the outside.
When it was Xia Ya's turn to have only the last small mouthful left. He hesitated for a moment, and handed the bottle to Kato with a smile. Kato did not refuse. He raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and signaled the front of the team with his eyes: "You are planning to ignore that guy all the way?"
Xia Ya rolled her eyes and shook her head: "Forget it, the general said, "You should be a little polite to him. If he doesn't mess with me, I will ignore him."
In front of the queue was a carriage, which was not expensive. After all, just after a war, only a large carriage was found in the barracks to simply modify it, and then it became Bonfret's car. However, the jazz, who had always liked to enjoy it, accepted it without saying a word, jumped onto the carriage at the same speed as the escape and set off in a hurry, as if he didn't want to stay at the 13th Corps for a second.
The jazz wore his luxurious clothes and the gorgeous but fragile armor. Even his servants brought from the imperial capital city raised their heads proudly again, and were arrogant all the way. Sir Bonfrett had never come down since he got on the carriage, and he never showed up even if he stopped to rest on the way.
Chara and Kato maliciously guessed: Does this ass seller even need someone to bring his piss into the carriage?
During this trip, Sharba was not accompanied by his injuries because his injuries were not healed. This brave man followed Charna's 200 cavalry out of the city in the last battle and was honored again. The medical officer in the army said that his injuries could not be ridden for a month... Poor Sharba was caught in the chaos, and as a result, his butt was scraped by the axe of the Odin people...
Fifty guards and fifty entourages, together with fifty entourages, gathered a team of 100 people to escort Bonfret and his entourages. After a day of slow walking, they came to Wildfire Town in the evening, where they would rest for a night before rushing.
The turtle who returned to Wildfire Town was very moved for a while. The last time he left here, he was besieged by dozens of soldiers from the empire. When he ran away, he even knocked a big hole in the city gate.
When he came back this time, the holes in the city gate had obviously been repaired. In the previous war, although Hasting did not really attack Wildfire Town, the defenders in the town were also panicked for a while and reinforced the city gate. When he entered the city, Xia Ya saw a large amount of wood piled up at the city gate.
The imperial soldiers guarding the city gates were obviously much more relaxed, as if once the war ended, these Byzantines could not wait to make plans to go home, and the patrol soldiers in the Wildfire Town were lazy and unable to bear the energy.
The streets were still deserted, and most shops had never opened, but the business of the tavern was getting better again. Some mercenary warriors or adventurers in different dresses began to appear. It is said that when these guys were threatened in Wildfire Town, they took the initiative to express their willingness to help the defenders defend the city together. Although they did not really fight later, such kind-hearted actions won the trust of the defenders.
In general, the Wildfire Town is recovering. After about a few days, after the Byzantines retreat, the place will return to anarchic freedom.
The largest building in the town is the mayor's mansion in Wildfire Town. In fact, it is just a slightly larger courtyard and two rows of houses. Two two-story high whistle platforms are erected in front of the door. Now it is temporarily occupied by Byzantine troops and has become a garrison house.
Bonfret and his group went straight into the garrison palace, but Xia Ya didn't want to live there - the garrison generals here had no friendship with him. Not only did they have no friendship, I'm afraid there were some Liangzi. When Adric met him, he whipped the garrison general hard. At that time, the bald man...
Xia Ya sighed and ordered herself to stop thinking like this.
Shaya sent someone to the garrison mansion to register, so he took a group of brothers to the tavern run by Aunt Sofia's husband.
Duoduoluo mysteriously led a group of entourages out - the magician's mind was not a secret. He took a group of entourage brothers he met to find a place! The gangsters who bullied him and the bastards who had robbed him all had to pay the price for the bravest dare to bully the noble Master Duoduoluo...
As soon as he walked into the tavern, he saw one-eyed standing behind the counter, still wiping the wine glass with a dirty cloth. Xia Ya couldn't help but smile and greeted her first.
One-eyed eyes saw Shaya wearing soft armor of Byzantine cavalry, and began to be confused. Then she smiled and still showed a yellow teeth. She grinned and said, "Hey! Look at who is here! Isn't this our little rustler! Now she has become a Byzantine officer!"
Xia Ya sat in front of the bar, slapped the table, and laughed loudly, "One-eyed, you guy, don't think that saying a few good words can fool you. Last time I saved a bottle of good wine with you, have you already drunk it?"
After saying that, he pounded the table hard: "Brothers, find a place to sit by yourself. There is the best ale in Wildfire Town. One-eyed old guy, give them ten barrels first, I will pay the bill! Ah, and, everyone present today, I will treat each person to a drink!"
The last sentence made the drinkers in the tavern laugh. These guys are all natives in Wildfire Town, and many Shaya know them.
Xia Ya touched her pocket. There were still many gold coins left by Chip and the poor man. Although he was a rustic man, he was generous after he had money. He didn't know how many times he had dreamed about such a big spending scene before. Today he was rare to be so majestic, and he felt secretly happy.
The cavalry were very happy. It was not a war anyway, and the mission of this trip was simple. If the boss treats guests to drink, how could there be a reason to refuse?
In less than a moment, the tavern was boiling, and several large wooden barrels were moved out, and the cavalry snatched cups and drank a lot of drinks. There were originally many drinkers sitting in the tavern, and Xia Ya called him one by one. In addition to some old acquaintances, she also saw a few strange faces, probably the adventurers who had just arrived recently.
While chatting casually, I heard the conversation between several adventurers on the table next to me, which attracted Xia Ya's attention.
"It's really a ghost now! I've seen Odin people, Byzantines, Lantis people, and people from freeholders. Even dwarves appeared a few days ago, but now I didn't expect that even goblins would form a caravan to do business..."
"Yes, what can goblins sell? Is it human jerky? Hahahaha..."
Xia Ya immediately noticed, he leaned over, put the wine glass on the other party's table, raised his butt, squeezed out a seat, and smiled and said, "What interesting things are you talking about? Is there a goblin coming in our Wildfire Town?"
He was surprised. Within a hundred miles, the only goblin was the Oaks in his own home. Could it be that this princess didn't take good care of the house, but ran to Wildfire Town to mess around?
Both adventurers were wearing leather armor and weapons, with a tough look on their faces. They looked at Xia Ya, and looked at him as an officer, and smiled politely. One of them said loudly: "No way! Two days ago, there was news that Hasting retreated, and the town opened the city gate. What do you think? The first caravan that came was actually a goblin! Is it strange? More than a dozen humans carried seven or eight large cars, pretending slowly and covering tightly, and they didn't know what it was. There were more than a dozen goblins accompanying him. Those green-skinned guys were croaking and screaming, wearing ragged iron, and the knife in their hands was rusted. I don't know if it was dug out from a grave."
A dozen goblins?
That said, it's not Oaks.
Xia Ya lost interest, and he didn't care about these things. But he heard another adventurer continue, "There are even more strange things. Those goblins ran to the town and had a conflict with a few mercenaries that day. Originally, those goblins were thin and everyone was waiting to see jokes, but the leading goblin was so fucking powerful. A mid-level warrior was chopped on the ground by a few axes! It's so damn. I've never heard of such a powerful goblin in my life, let alone seeing them."
Xia Ya is interested... Can goblins be so powerful?
"Well, the funny thing is that I heard that the goblin leader doesn't have a good temper. After coming in, I asked someone if I had ever seen a very beautiful goblin, and said, "I finally laughed loudly, "I also said that his wife is lost. He came out to find his wife. Are you funny? Hahahahahaha..."
