In Epsom City, the lives of some nobles are still so relaxed and freehand. You can see that some manors will also hold dances at night.
There was also cheerful music playing inside the manor, and gorgeous magic caravans drove in from the gate of the manor and did not leave until midnight.
Many people gather here to find a chance to leave the war-torn Warsaw plane, and many people come here to make money in the plane war...
In short, the portal in Epsom City is the busiest place in the city, with countless people queuing in and out.
Surdak came to Epsom City alone just to avoid unnecessary trouble when passing through the portal.
When he arrived at the portal in the central square, even if he had a portal pass and was the battlefield commander of a war zone in the Warsaw plane, he still had to wait in line if he wanted to pass through the portal, but he didn't wait long.
.
The Maple Leaf Hotel in Epsom City was booked for him by the Liaison Office of the Bena Military Department here. Suldak had also communicated with the Military Department before, so he did not go to the airport terminal to pick him up and waited for him at the airport.
After staying at the Maple Leaf Hotel, I first took a shower in the hotel, then took a short rest, and walked out of the hotel with a teleportation voucher without even having dinner.
Crossing the avenue in front of the hotel, we came to the central square filled with various supplies. Walking through the aisles filled with supplies was like walking between the containers at the dock in our memory.
Fortunately, the central square is not too big, and the six-story teleportation gate stands in the center of the square. Surdak only needs to keep walking towards the teleportation gate, and he will not be among these piles of supplies.
get lost.
There are several portal guards along the way who will check Surdak's teleportation voucher, and after reading his voucher, they will let him pass without saying anything.
When he came to the portal, he happened to see a group of cavalry slowly walking out of the portal. This group of cavalry was four horses abreast. In order to avoid any interference with each other, the four cavalry horses were separated from each other.
It's half a meter apart.
They also want to avoid collisions as much as possible when passing through space cracks.
These cavalry are moving forward slowly, and they are very neat in rows. Their equipment is very well-equipped. In addition to knight's lances, these cavalry also have medium shields and flails. They are not equipped with knight's swords.
Tied with a dagger.
The armor on their bodies is not a magic pattern structure, but the war horses under their crotches are covered with cyan scales. The war horses are covered with black iron armor, especially the black iron mask on the head of the war horse, which is almost a whole body.
, looks very strong, and the neck is covered with layers of armor, and the armor even covers half of the horse's legs.
This was the first time that Surdak saw such an elite heavy cavalry regiment. These cavalry actually rode precious scale horses.
It's a bit embarrassing to think about it. Only one-fifth of the Construct Knights in his Construct Knights now have blue-scale horses, and the rest of the Construct Knights can only ride magic-marked war horses for the time being.
Since he was transporting troops from Ivorson City to Epsom City, Surdak knew that he would have to wait until all the heavy cavalry regiments passed before he could pass through this portal.
Surdak walked towards a guard captain at the teleportation gate, handed him the teleportation certificate in his hand, and casually asked him: "Where did this heavy cavalry regiment come from?"
"Your Excellency, this is the second batch of troops from the Western Knight Alliance. We don't know which province's cavalry they are from." The captain of the portal guard saw the seal on the voucher and immediately gave a standard military salute to Surdak and replied.
road.
Surdak actually also guessed that these troops should be the troops of the Western Knights Alliance, as the coachman had also mentioned before.
Nodding, Surdak asked the portal guard captain: "How long will it take for them to completely pass?"
"It may take another day and night. Your Excellency, you may have to wait here for a day. When the portal is changed from Epsom City to Ivorson City, you can come again. At that time, you can come at any time.
Passed through the portal..." Xian
The captain of the portal guard saw the teleportation voucher in Suldak's hand and explained to Surdak.
Suldak nodded to express his understanding: "Okay, then I will come back at this time tomorrow!"
In fact, even if he could pass immediately, he was still thinking of staying in Epsom City for a day if possible.
When he was in the highlands of Moyunling, he actually had correspondence with Marquis Yves Kim of the Western Cavalry League through a letter of recommendation given to him by Duke Newman, who happened to be Marquis Yves Kim.
As the liaison officer of the Western Knights Alliance in Epsom City, Suldak passed by Epsom City this time and wanted to pay a visit to Marquis Yves Kim.
If his Constructed Knights want to replace the black scale horses with better quality as soon as possible, they must establish a relationship with the lords of the Western Knights Alliance.
It is said that approximately three-quarters of the army horses in the entire Green Empire come from pastures in the Western Province.
So far, the black scale horse is still the most suitable military horse for constructing the knights.
Of course, these black scale horses are incomparable with those royal griffins, but in the Green Empire, the eagle nests where the royal griffins live are actually very limited, and the annual production is also extremely rare. So far, almost all royal griffins are
Control is in the hands of the Angelibald royal family.
The black scale horse has always been the main mount of the Constructed Knights.
It was already noon when we returned to the hotel from the portal.
Suldak had a simple lunch in the hotel, then took a nap in the room, and did not go out until the afternoon.
The officer from the Bena Military Department was actually waiting in the lobby of the hotel. When he saw Surdak coming down from upstairs, he ran over from the rest area, gave a military salute to Surdak, and asked: "Suldak."
Commander Dark, are you going out?"
Suldak nodded.
"If necessary, the military headquarters has a magic caravan that can take you anywhere in the city." The young officer said cautiously.
Seeing the awe on his face, Suldak thought for a moment and then said: "Then please take me to No. 5 Swarovski Street."
"Okay, Commander, please wait a moment, the magic caravan is parked in the backyard of the hotel!"
After the young officer finished speaking, he ran out and did not let Surdak wait long. A magic caravan stopped at the door of the hotel. The officer jumped out of the carriage and ran to the door of the hotel to open the door for Surdak.
However, he did not follow, and just let the coachman take Suldak away from the Maple Leaf Hotel.
This coachman has a dull character. As long as Suldak doesn't take the initiative to speak, he has been concentrating on driving the carriage all the way. Even when he arrived at the mansion at No. 5 Swarovski Street, he stopped the magic caravan steadily and got out of the car.
He opened the car door for Suldak and stood quietly aside.
Suldak stepped out of the carriage and said to the coachman: "You may have to wait for me for a while."
The carriage driver bent down and saluted Suldak, and then said: "Sir, I will park the carriage across the street and wait for you. If you come out, just wait for me here."
After saying that, he returned to the charioteer's seat, drove the magic caravan around a corner, and stopped under a row of street trees across the street.
This mansion is a four-story building built on the street of Swarovski Street. There is no so-called courtyard.
There might be a back courtyard, but Suldak didn't see the gate.
The main entrance of the mansion faces the street. There are more than a dozen steps. On both sides of the steps are marble statues of two men on horseback. Two guards wearing knight's light armor stood at the door. They saw Surdak walking.
Going up the steps, a knight guard came to Suldak and asked:
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
Suldak took out a visiting note and said to the guard: "I am here to visit the Marquis Yves Kim."
The guard took the letter of visit and invited Suldak to the reception room at the entrance of the mansion. Then he handed the letter of visit to the receptionist inside. The receptionist worked very efficiently and within a short time he heard the voice in the reception room.
A series of chaotic footsteps sounded outside.
A noble knight with blond hair and a slightly hooked nose and deep eye sockets walked in from outside, followed by a group of entourage.
He was wearing a set of light leather armor with exquisite fabrics. The leather armor was covered with a layer of hollow and carved patterns. He was wearing a pair of high leather boots with pointed toes. The toes of the leather boots were exaggeratedly tilted upward. This style of clothing is popular in
Bernard can be said to be rare.
However, Surdak saw that the group of followers behind him were also wearing these kind of boots, but their costumes were not as exaggerated as this knight's.
"I am Yves Kim, and you are Count Suldak, the commander of the Western Route Army in Handanar County, Bena Province?" The noble lord walked up to Suldak and asked first.
Surdak quickly saluted. After all, there was a big gap in titles between them.
"Yes, Lord Yves Kim, I am Suldak from the Bena Province."
"There are rumors throughout Epsom City that you were assassinated on the way. You seem to be in good spirits and you don't seem to have any injuries..." Marquis Yves Kim said bluntly.
"We did encounter a little problem on the way, and the injury has healed!" Suldak said.
Marquis Yves Kim took Suldak into the first-floor hall of the mansion. Officers from the Western Knight Alliance could be seen everywhere in the gorgeous first-floor hall. They seemed to be busy dealing with various things, but there was no one there.
Pay attention to Marquis Yves Kim and his party.
"Aha, I changed the first floor into the office space of the Knights Alliance's Liaison Office in Epsom City. My usual meeting place is on the second floor, and my residence is on the third and fourth floors."
Marquis Yves Kim spoke very casually, and then took Suldak to a living room on the second floor.
Marquis Yves Kim sat on the armchair behind the desk and asked Suldak to sit down on the chair opposite him with a smile.
His face was a bit like an eagle, and even his kind smile was a bit cold, making Suldak unable to be friendly to him.
The maids served exquisite refreshments. Suldak sat opposite Marquis Yves Kim and discovered that there was also a map of the seven counties of the Warsaw plane spread on the desk. Almost every county had a map.
Painted in different colors, it looks very eye-catching.
"Grand Duke Newman and my father have had many years of friendship, and our family has cooperated with the Newman family for nearly a hundred years. All the horses of the Bena Army are purchased from our family. Since Grand Duke Newman recommended you to me,
Then I think you probably need to buy some war horses from our ranch, am I right?"
Marquis Yves Kim put it very directly.
Before Suldak could nod, Marquis Yves Kim said again:
"I heard that the Western Route Army of the Bena Province received 100,000 Gubolai war horses from Handanar City's reinforcements in the Moyunling Highlands. So I'm afraid you won't have any purchase plans for Gubolai war horses in the short term.
, so when you come here this time, do you want to buy a green-scaled horse...or a black-scaled horse?"
"Is there any difference between the two? Of course, the difference I am talking about is not the price!" Surdak asked.
"Of course, if you need green-scaled horses, the number is less than 5,000, I can directly agree to it now. But if you need black-scaled horses, even if it is 500, I can't give you any answer right away.
, so do you want a green-scaled horse or a black-scaled horse?" Marquis Yves Kim asked.
Surdak wiped his nose and said without hesitation:
"Black scale horse!"
There is not much difference between the green-scaled horse and the magic-marked war horse. Of course, Surdak wants something better.
"It is not easy to breed and raise a black scale horse. This kind of war horse is a controlled material in the Green Empire. Nowadays, plane wars are being fought everywhere. There is always a big gap in the imperial army horse. Of course you can if you want it, but you
What can we exchange with us? This kind of transaction cannot be settled with gold coins." Marquis Yves Kim said casually.
"I still have some unidentified black magic crystals on hand." Suldak said.
"Of course, this kind of currency is needed to trade scale horses, but these black magic crystals cannot be used as a reason to convince the family management to sell the black scale horses to you!" Marquis Yves Kim habitually raised his head when he spoke.
, the nostrils were exposed, and his expression and behavior revealed a kind of arrogance inadvertently.
Surdak thought that thanks to Archduke Newman's relationship, he was using unidentified black magic crystals to make a deal, and that this time the purchase of the black-scaled horse should be successful through casual talks.
Unexpectedly, these western ranchers have such a big appetite, and using unidentified magic crystals for trading is the minimum requirement.
Marquis Yves Kim actually wanted to establish a military strategic alliance with Surdak, but he was used to making roundabout gestures when speaking. This was the first time for Surdak to deal with them, a group of nobles, and he was confused for a while.
Can't figure out the situation.
He thought about what valuable things he had. Naturally, it was impossible to give these epic weapons and equipment to them. The only thing he could get away with was the magic pattern of life.
Suldak has always claimed that these magic patterns are enhanced amplification scrolls produced by alchemy. He does not want to take this life magic pattern outside. Once it is targeted by a magician who is proficient in alchemy, this secret
