The streets were still bustling with people, but they were obviously much quieter than before. Both stall owners and passers-by were looking in the direction of the Viscount's Mansion with some uncertainty.
There, there was a red, majestic, tall horse that was slowly slowing down. This horse was extremely strong, more than two meters tall, and was emitting astonishing amounts of heat. The steaming heat wave distorted the surrounding air.
Obviously, this is a Warcraft-level war horse with the blood of the Flame Dragon.
But the most surprising thing is that this horse is quite docile. It noticed the crowds around it and deliberately chose a road that would not hit anyone. Therefore, although the gallop just now sounded extremely unobtrusive, in fact, the whole street was full of people.
Except for those who were startled, basically no one was affected at all.
The rider is dismounting. He is wearing a full-body heavy armor with a black background and gold rim. The golden Eye of the Sun emblem is branded on his right arm. An iron can-like helmet covers his face, leaving only a T-shaped observation respiratory tract.
"It's the envoy from the Imperial Capital!"
Ian heard that the owner of the jewelry store on the side said half excitedly, half sadly: "It seems that help from the Imperial Capital is finally coming, but why is he in such a hurry?"
"Is there any bad news..." Most of the surrounding residents looked doubtful.
"A visitor from the imperial capital?" Ian whispered to himself. He didn't know why his boss was worried. The other person's uneasiness was obviously an instinctive warning after too many experiences.
And he also narrowed his eyes: "It does feel wrong. I have seen ordinary aid caravans, and the process is obviously not like this."
Putting aside his doubts, he raised his head and stared at the Viscount's Mansion.
The imperial envoy went straight to the door of the Viscount's Mansion. He was not domineering. Facing the gate of the Viscount's Mansion, which had not yet been completely repaired, he still politely showed his token to the guard. Not long after, Ian saw an attendant leading the knight.
Entering the mansion, Viscount Grant was already waiting at the door.
Even with Ian's eyesight, seeing these was the limit. He could only vaguely notice that the imperial envoy did not enter the mansion, but after a brief salute to the viscount, he began to report the news.
This news was obviously extremely shocking, because even if he couldn't see any details clearly, even when the weather was very clear, Ian could clearly feel the water vapor in the surrounding air suddenly heavy, just like a precursor to a heavy rain.
That was the reaction of the Viscount, who was a second-level sublimator, when he lost control of his emotions in an instant, and could even be said to be 'extremely shocked'!
Even when he used the etheric weapons to fight against the Great Shaman and Crocodile Dragon, Viscount Grant's mood swings were probably not as severe as they are now.
After the report, the imperial envoy saluted again and then politely left.
He rode on the tall horse with the blood of the Flame Dragon, galloped, and left in a hurry.
What exactly the messenger and the viscount exchanged, no one knows.
But then, as the financial officer, the sheriff, and even Elder Puder and others went to the Viscount Mansion, and even the village chiefs, mercenaries, and militia leaders from several surrounding villages rushed in from outside the city, everyone
Everyone knows something big is going to happen.
The crowd slowly dispersed in uneasiness, and the owner of the jewelry store also muttered absentmindedly, 'You really can't count on the empire,' and returned to his store with a sigh.
However, Ian did not leave the jewelry store, but stood by the alley, observing the movements of the Viscount Mansion.
He has plenty of time to wait for the outcome of this matter.
In fact, Ian is not the only one who has the same idea. Although Harrison Port is still in the reconstruction period, those who still have some free time have not left.
They knew very well that if there was really something big, the Viscount would go to the square later to spread the word, and they would be able to get first-hand information.
In this southern border on the edge of human civilization, even the lofty lord must work together with his people most of the time.
This is perhaps the only benefit of the wilderness.
However, what appeared earlier than the viscount was the support convoy from the imperial capital.
"Moo"
The majestic roar of beasts sounded from outside the city, but it could also be heard clearly in the harbor. The sound of continuous trampling could be vaguely heard, and the beasts on the earth trembled slightly under the steps.
"This is……"
Ian's expression changed. He seemed to hear something from the beast's roar. He opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly there was another beast's roar, and this time the beast's roar had already reached the city.
Dust was rising at the city gate, and a dark shadow came from the avenue, slowly walking into the warehouse area under the watchful eyes of everyone in Harrison Port.
And Ian also saw clearly the source of the beast's roar.
That's a cow.
Incredibly huge cows.
The body that is more than three meters high is like a mobile house, with jingling wind chimes hanging on the long horns that curve upward and protrude above the head. The unexpectedly gentle eyes are like gems. Every movement of the body bound by the yoke can be clearly seen.
The thick and clear muscle groups contract and move in layers, and the intense vitality overflows.
"The giant bull of Bison..."
Gazing at the majestic giant beast, Ian whispered to himself. He couldn't help but recall the origin of the name of the Baisson Mountains: "One of the giant beasts that inhabits the snowy area in the northern part of the Baisson Mountains is worth five hundred pagodas."
Le, one of the most expensive and powerful mortal beasts..."
When Hilliard was explaining to him the knowledge and distribution of many magical beasts in the Nanling Province, he still explained to Ian the Beisen Giant Bull alone. Although it did not have any sublimation elements, its strength surpassed most of the first-level magical beasts.
Above all, they are docile and intelligent, and can fight and live together with recognized partners.
"Don't think that just because you are an ascendant, you can look down on ordinary beasts... You are too young and your body is not fully developed yet, not to mention that the human body is only like that no matter how you sublimate it."
"Even if it is a magical beast, it cannot defeat many strong beasts simply by relying on pure physical strength."
This is an example used by the teacher to warn Ian about humility and caution, and not to be overconfident because of the improvement of his strength.
Although Ian has always been cautious, he doesn't mind being more cautious.
It should be noted that the mountain people in the past relied on three hundred 'bull riders' to block the advance of the Imperial Halberd Heavy Infantry Regiment. Although this record still could not affect their subsequent defeat, the mountain people still had two in the southern border.
A large autonomous region is attributed to this battle, not to mention that the reputation of the mountain people's bravery has spread throughout the empire.
"An ordinary cow only costs more than 200 thalers. I originally thought that a cow could be so valuable and cost 500 thalers... Now it seems that this may be the internal price that the teacher had something to do with back then. The actual market price is more than 200 thalers."
It will definitely be more than double!”
The huge convoy drove into the city, and the trucks that were as big as houses made Ian's breath hitch.
It’s not because it’s big, it’s mainly because Ian saw that this truck has five pairs of road wheels and tracks!
