Someone who had escaped laughed and put the bamboo basket containing food into the trunk of the car as if nothing had happened. After opening the garage door of the dwarf workshop, he invited everyone to get in the car. Everyone had a tacit understanding and forgot what had just happened.
Whatever needs to be done, do it.
Since Grand Duke Kawi is the protagonist this time, he is invited to sit in the passenger seat. Also accompanying him are French Saint Babak Abu Nahan and Nguyen Van Viet from the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce.
For the Ruan brothers, if someone is not present, the negotiation cannot proceed, so they might as well go and have a look. Others from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce are also preparing their own horses and planning to accompany them.
The Grand Duke of Kawei refused to wear a seat belt. Perhaps for a person of his status, being tied or immobilized was a taboo.
Anyway, according to someone's observation, this guy is very strong, and the speed of the car cannot be very fast. If there is an accident, he can save himself. Lin thought so, and did not force everyone to fasten their seat belts before setting off.
Before setting off, the cowhide top was put down again, because this way the field of view would be wider. Also because after putting down the canopy, the Grand Duke's subordinates could see their master more clearly, instead of being covered by the canopy.
Even if there is a Dharma Saint in the car, he is also a good friend of the Grand Duke. But as servants who protect and serve the Grand Duke, they cannot let the family master disappear under their noses, even if the family master is stronger than them.
However, the carriage is not airtight, so we have to consider the problem of cold wind. After the New Year, it is now technically spring, but the weather is still the tail end of winter. If the wind blows on the face, it is not frozen, but the biting cold is unavoidable.
No matter how unkind a person is, he will not hide his wind protection methods this time. Apprentice-level magic and standard wind enchantment were quickly attached to several people in the car.
Such a simple solution provoked the Dharma Saint's complaints. Babak? He complained and said: "Okay, Xiao Gai, if you don't tell me this method, what does it mean that you let me blow the cold wind all night that day?"
?”
Knowing that this person's complaint was just a sign of intimacy, Lin did not pretend to be cold, but said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that that day. Many of the things I do now are caused by the encounter with the third party."
Only after one time did I think of how to solve it."
With this familiar Dharma Saint in the lead, the two of them seemed to have known each other for many years as old friends.
Mr. Kawei was very skillful in talking and laughing with everyone, especially Ruan Wenyue from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce. Although his housekeeper did business with people from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, it was with other stewards named Ruan, not the one in front of him.
But he paid more attention to his beloved horse. The demon horse with the blood of the flaming demon is not a tame thing. It took a lot of effort to tame him. If someone unfamiliar with him approaches,
It is likely to be kicked away by the horse's back kick. It is not allowed to have other horses walking beside it. Once it is seen, it will either kick or bite it.
Such an arrogant and demonic horse was particularly calm today. Kawei looked thoughtfully into the main mansion. According to rumors, a black dragon lived here. Was it the black dragon's aura that suppressed it?
When the Grand Duke came back to his senses, he realized that the vehicle he was riding in had left the workshop and was moving forward slowly. Of course, the movement of the vehicle could not be so smooth that no one could feel it. But compared with the bumps of horses or carriages,
, but there is a world of difference. This difference inexplicably makes the Grand Duke expect more.
The entourage, who were ready to follow on horseback, quickly gathered at the front, rear, left and right of the vehicle, advancing slowly. Although they belonged to two organizations, they still distributed their respective areas well, protecting the people sitting in the vehicle. The Grand Duke and the head of the Chamber of Commerce.
It's just that someone was blocking the car in front, and someone who couldn't speed up was a little discouraged. If it weren't for the knights of the Grand Duke who were opening the way, and the road in the Holy City was not wide enough to overtake, someone would have really wanted to hit or run over him. , at least let the horn sound.
Moreover, the knight leading the way thought he was taking good care of the "very slow" car, so he controlled the horse to walk step by step and stop step by step. It was as if the army was going on an expedition or triumphant, and was parading through the streets to receive people's cheers and encouragement.
He took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions. He had to follow this group of people and the Duke's Guard anyway, so Lin held back his temper and stepped on the accelerator lightly.
The two people sitting in the back seat knew what this car was capable of, so they were a little confused about the speed. Even if the car we were riding in now was quite obviously different from the one we were riding in a few days ago, it wouldn't make it any worse. Right. But looking at the guards around them, they seemed to understand something.
No matter how hard they worked, the group finally arrived outside the city and met up with the Duke's Guard of 500 cavalry. The most special thing about this army was that there were no auxiliary soldiers.
Regardless of whether it is medieval Europe on Earth or the reality of Lost Land, a knight will prepare six or seven infantrymen of his own. They usually serve as auxiliaries or knights' attendants. In wartime, this group of people can be assembled or become the knight's reserve team. Or become another infantry team.
The Duke's Guard is a very rare light cavalry, but no one will underestimate this troop. Because the aura and oppressive feeling exuded by the magic equipment of Yishui shows that this troop is more powerful than the fully armored knights. It's fatal, and it also costs money.
They also attach great importance to long-range weapons. A horse crossbow has two barrels hanging on the left and right sides of the crossbow. Calculated with twenty crossbow bolts in one barrel, this kind of ammunition reserve is enough to fight a small war. The horse crossbow has special Small crossbows with string-pulling mechanisms are fortunate to use crossbows. When it comes to using bows, no matter how good an archer is, it is rare for him to be able to shoot eighty arrows in a battle. The stronger the bow, the more so.
The war horse he is riding on is even taller and majestic. At a glance, you can tell that it is not an ordinary horse. But at this speed, your mother is just walking on the street.
In the city, limited by the width of the streets, someone couldn't bear it. When he came outside the city, he was still walking like he was dying, but someone couldn't bear it anymore. He said haha and showed a forced smile. Lin turned his head and looked at Grand Duke Kawi said: "Grand Duke, we have to speed up a bit, otherwise we will not be able to reach Mount Vesu even if we drive until night."
"You can speed up and my troops can catch up. If they can't catch up, I'll fine them a year's salary and send them back to help you do things for free."
The knights who followed the family leader just thought it was ridiculous. The reason why the Duke's Guard chose war horses instead of camels was because horses of this breed have the blood of Warcraft, and their endurance and explosive power are far better than ordinary war horses or camels. They are all even better. Especially when compared with the guards of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, the gap between them and their war horses is even more obvious.
Lin didn't take the old man's words seriously, but he couldn't stand the feeling of being slowed down. He said, "Okay, let's go." He turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator, and got out of the gap in the queue. Everyone was shocked and saw that the car had already sped far away. The Duke's Guards and the guards from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce quickly waved their whips and sped up to catch up.
Although the sudden acceleration caught everyone off guard, it was not a problem. After a few more whips, the horse's speed caught up with the car. Even the few knights leading the way wanted to run in front of the car again.
However, this speed, although it is not yet the speed limit of a war horse charge, is already much faster than a forced march under the ordinary definition. In addition to being surprised by the acceleration at the beginning, Grand Duke Kawei also
Still sitting calmly, watching his subordinates trying to catch up, he said: "Oh, this car is so fast. Not bad, not bad, it can catch up with the guard I built with a lot of money. It is considered quite outstanding.
."
Lin smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Grand Duke, for your compliment. Then let's shift to second gear."
"What is second gear?"
Slightly loosen the accelerator, step on the clutch, shift gears, loosen the clutch, step on the accelerator again! The speed of the car suddenly increases. Although there is no feeling of jumping out like before, the Grand Duke can still clearly see the Duke who has invested heavily in equipment.
The Guards are... slowly falling behind.
Only a few knights can ride their horses to keep up. And the horses these people ride are the best horses in the guard that they know. Perhaps the easiest among these horses is their own mounts. It just
Carrying an empty saddle, he snorted and followed easily. But the snoring of the other horses was much thicker. Carrying a knight, he tried his best to keep up.
Grand Duke Kawei's first thought was that the magician had used the speed of the charge? But anyone who has led a cavalry knows that a charge cannot last long and will always be exhausted. So he is waiting, waiting for this speed
When there is no way to continue, it comes down.
Understanding how fast the charge is and how long it can last is also valuable intelligence. Therefore, Duke Kawei did not criticize or ridicule out loud, but counted silently in his heart.
But when he looked back, he could no longer see the lagging Duke's Guards, and he was moved. The originally magnificent army of 500 horses, now only a few horsemen were able to follow. The only part that was still gratifying
, even those who could keep up were the members of the Duke's Guards, and the guards of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce had long since lost sight of anyone.
Of course, Lin didn't care whether those people could keep up. He was only paying attention to the condition of the car now. The speed of seventy kilometers per hour was an easily achievable target for vehicles on Earth. But there is no good asphalt road in Midland. Using magic materials
In addition, as an engineer who had become a monk by the way, I was curious and a little worried about the quality of the car I built.
When I tested the car before, it was at night, the dew was thick, and the ground was slippery. In addition, most places in the Holy City had cobblestone roads. Considering the problems of tires and brakes, someone would not dare to drive as fast as he wanted.
Now that we have left the city, the roads that people often take are often run over by horse-drawn carriages. There are no weeds growing on them, and they are basically dirt roads. And the roads are not like the city. You have to worry about someone coming at any time.
He jumped out to stop a car he had never seen before, so someone also planned to test the top speed of this car.
It's just that the road to Mount Weisu, although not winding, is not a straight and smooth road. Especially the section after entering the woods, you have to follow the old road that everyone is accustomed to; no
Just like before on the grassland, you can run wherever you want, no one cares about how you drill.
But after getting used to the controls, Lin drove the car and moved up a gear.
