The north wind from the Gandaur Mountains blows through the endless large meadows, taking away the almost saturated moisture in the soil.
The Western Route Army walked northward for nearly two days.
Surdak rode in the middle of the group.
Andrew pointed to the raised hills in the distance and introduced to Suldak:
"Look over there. There is Bradley Manor over there. The last time I was here, I bought cattle from the manor, Earl Bradley."
Surdak squinted his eyes, trying to find a little shadow of the manor in this sea of green, but unfortunately he couldn't find a little shadow.
After two days of marching, the West Route Army entered the depths of the large meadow, and there was no trace of the evil ghost here.
Surdak looked into the distance and asked Andrew:
"Did you see Gubo Laima when you came to buy cattle last time?"
Andrew thought about it seriously and immediately said with certainty:
"There should be a large horse farm behind the manor, and there are indeed many ancient horses in it."
Suldak said nothing.
He rode forward on his horse, lowering his head and considering whether to buy a horse or not.
What allowed Surdak to make a smooth decision was that Andrew moved out the two boxes of black magic crystals obtained from the raid on six evil ghost armies on the bank of the Bruin River and asked Surdak to keep these two large boxes.
The heavy unidentified black magic crystal has not been polished yet, and it still looks like a dark magic core.
"Would you be interested in going to Bradley Manor with me?" Suldak asked Andrew.
In any case, these dark magic cores rekindled Surdak's desire to purchase.
"Now?" Andrew asked.
Suldak nodded.
Andrew perked up as soon as he heard this and said immediately:
"OK!"
Then he asked Surdak:
"Boss, do you want to buy a new batch of war horses? Aren't we going to transform those construct knights into high-level ant cavalry?"
Surdak held the reins of the war horse with one hand and replied:
"It's better to buy another batch of war horses. I don't want these construct knights to become high-level ant cavalry yet."
This time he went to Bradley Manor, taking Andrew and Gulitem with him.
The wolf knight Tago continued to lead the army and led the entire army to continue walking north.
Although Surdak has been considering using giant soldier ants as new mounts for the construct knights these days, this must also take into account some of the construct knights' ideas. I believe that many construct knights would still prefer to ride horses, and
The production progress of the Aphrodite Contract Scroll is also very limited.
On this battlefield in the Warsaw plane, giant soldier ants will continue to serve as death squads and human shields.
Therefore, Surdak decided to buy another batch of high-quality ancient Bolai horses and transform them into magic-patterned war horses.
In addition, Surdak also has some new ideas about those giant soldier ants. In front of the evil ghost warriors, the hard armor of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants is still not too thick, so next Surdak may give these giant soldiers
Soldier ants cover their vital parts with armor.
Of course, I'm just thinking about it now.
There is no blacksmith shop over there in Moyun Ridge...
…
Bradley Manor is one of the few remaining estates on Great Meadows.
Of course, this manor is also very large. The entire manor almost encompasses three hills and a large lake. There are also two very thin rivers flowing through the manor.
The hundreds of square kilometers of grassland nearby are also owned by Earl Bradley.
As for the boundary monuments, they may be covered by lush green grass.
Anyway, along the way to Surdak, I couldn't find the so-called boundary monument.
However, when Suldak crossed the narrow river less than two meters wide, he saw an old sign erected by the river, which read: 'Bradley River'.
When you come outside the gate of the manor, you can see some buildings in the manor through the gaps in the large iron gate of the manor. Most of them are houses made of white or light yellow pebbles and slurry. This kind of house looks very solid.
, but it is difficult to build it high.
There was a group of guards standing in front of the gate. When the guard captain saw the noble lord badge on Surdak's chest, he immediately ran to Surdak and saluted, and then asked: "Lord, what can I do for you?"
For service?"
It was the first time that Surdak saw the guards wearing such good armor, and the long sword on his waist was also paired with a heavy sword.
I thought to myself: The reason why this manor can stand on this big meadow is that the manor must have a very good guard force, at least it will not be afraid of a sudden attack by a small group of evil spirits.
When the guards heard the arrival of Count Suldak, the commander of the Western Route Army, they immediately sent people to the manor to report to the owner of the manor.
The owner of the manor, Earl Josie Bradley, was also very enthusiastic about Commander Suldak's visit and came to the gate to greet him personally.
This Earl Bradley has a bookish face, a fair complexion, a neatly trimmed beard, and wears a light leather horse suit. He looks handsome from a distance.
This kind of elaborate dress makes it difficult to tell his actual age.
Suldak and Earl Bradley first got to know each other, and then exchanged pleasantries.
Earl Bradley was very enthusiastic and originally planned to take Suldak to visit the unique buildings in his manor, but Suldak refused on the grounds of official business.
Mainly, Surdak had to rush back to the Western Route Army later, so he was not prepared to delay here.
When the two parties sat in the living room, Suldak immediately stated the purpose of his visit:
"Earl Bradley, I am here to buy some ancient Boleyn horses from you."
"Gubo's coming?" said Lord Bradley.
Suldak leaned on the sofa in the living room, holding a cup of milk tea with a strong milk flavor in his hand, and said: "If there is a scaled horse... of course it would be best."
"There are no scaled horses here. Even if you want to transport them in from the outside at this time, it is not easy. The portal in Epsom City is now very congested with supplies. It is difficult to get in if it is not military supplies..." Count Bradley
Sitting opposite Suldak, he said.
His sitting posture is very upright.
Suldak did not dwell on this issue and immediately said: "Then buy some of the best ancient Bolai horses."
"How many?"
"One thousand, two hundred horses." Suldak said the number again cheerfully.
The extra two hundred horses are spare military horses.
"Okay." When Earl Bradley heard this amount, his eyes became more confident, and he quickly said: "We can go to the racecourse first and have a look. Those Gubo horses are in the racecourse behind. I think it's okay.
Transactions can be made on the spot.”
"good!"
After saying this, Suldak put down his tea cup and stood up.
He couldn't get used to this salty milk tea.
Led by Earl Bradley, Suldak and his party rode horses to the horse farm behind the manor.
The grass quality of this pasture is visually much better than elsewhere. Large areas of alfalfa are squeezed together, like a green blanket.
Earl Bradley's entourage rode towards a herdsman over there and whispered something in his ear. Then the herdsman immediately rode to find other herdsmen. After a while, these herdsmen drove a group of herdsmen away.
Gubo came on horseback.
Seeing this group of ancient Bore horses running wantonly on the grass, Suldak carefully observed their body muscle lines. It seemed that these ancient Bo Lai horses were usually trained according to the conditions of military horses, and their overall quality was very good.
very nice.
Andrew stepped forward and selected a few horses to check their teeth. Sure enough, they were all young Gubo horses.
After walking back, Andrew nodded vaguely to Suldak.
Seeing that there was no doubt about Andrew's side, Suldak approved these ancient Bo warriors.
The deal was concluded successfully.
Since Earl Bradley had his cattle sent directly to the forestry camp last time, this time the Earl also arranged for herdsmen to send 1,200 horses to the forestry camp.
Before leaving the manor, Surdak paid 3,500 magic crystals.
This is just the price of buying 1,200 ancient Bolai horses...
…
Just as Surdak, Andrew and Gulitem had just left the manor.
Three magic caravans came from the other side of the manor.
The three magic covered carriages stopped at the entrance of the manor. A lady dressed in aristocratic clothing walked out of the middle carriage. She stood at the carriage door and looked at the backs of Suldak and the others. She asked Earl Bradley at the door.
road:
"Where are they guests? Brother."
Earl Bradley said: "Suldak, the commander of the western reinforcements of the Bena Army, is here to buy horses."
After saying that, he stopped riding, handed the horse's reins to his entourage, and got into the lady's carriage.
The noble lady followed and entered the carriage, and the carriage continued to drive towards the manor.
When the lady heard Surdak's name, she seemed to think of something the next moment, and immediately screamed: "Oh my God, that commander actually bought a horse from you?"
Earl Bradley said nonchalantly:
"What's the matter? I sold them 30,000 cattle a while ago!"
The lady blinked her blue eyes, stared at Earl Bradley and asked: "Brother, do you know what happened recently?"
Earl Bradley spread his hands and said helplessly: "I have very little information here, how can there be so much information in Handanar City?"
The noble lady held up a fan and covered her mouth, and quickly told the news she had heard:
"Then you must not know that just ten days ago, Lord Surdak led some knights to stop an evil ghost army running in from the Naroda Gorge in the middle of the Buruin River.
Nearly 10,000 evil spirits were buried on this battlefield, and nearly 5,000 scale horses died there. Now many construct knights of the Eastern Route Army have gone to Handanar City to buy horses. The market over there
The market price has increased by at least 30% in the past few days."
Earl Bradley looked suddenly surprised, and then said with some emotion: "Oh, Handanar County has not experienced a victory of this scale for a long time."
The noble lady continued: "There are also good news coming from Kornberg County now, but when it comes to the specific number of evil spirits killed in battle, it is not so dazzling."
Seeing that Count Bradley's face was still expressionless, he said again:
"I think this deal can be discussed again. Without these Gubo horses, their cavalry will become infantry..."
