Chapter 20 Transportation

Early the next morning, the three of Carl checked out of their room and went to take out the carriage that Carl had bought before.

Now that there are judges stationed in East London, and Carl and his friends have obtained their religious certificates, there is no reason to continue to stay here.

After getting ready and saluting, Karl and the others got into the carriage.

Because Herbert was here now, the task of driving was handed over to this foreign official who was far more familiar with Africa than Karl and the others. This strongman who worked alone all year round had no problem driving a carriage.

The carriage drove out of the hotel, but within a hundred meters, they were stopped by an acquaintance.

"Everyone, wait a minute!"

It was Warren's voice. After leaving the hotel last night, this judge rushed back this morning and stopped Karl and the others for some reason.

Stopping the carriage, Herbert looked at Warren who was chasing after him with a shout. When they arrived, the Fen Yiguan asked:

"Come here in such a hurry. Have you discovered anything new?"

"Fortunately, I caught up."

After calming down his rapid breathing, Warren said: "It's not that I discovered anything, I have something else to tell you."

"After I sent a telegram last night to convey the news, the headquarters quickly issued an order. Although it did not directly issue instructions for us to dispatch, it also told me that I can provide limited help to you."

"Limited help?" Herbert raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What is that?"

Hearing this, Karl and Cyril on the carriage also cast their gazes, and they were also curious about the limited help Warren mentioned about the Judge.

So under the gaze of the three people, Warren said: "Using our relationship as a judge, we can directly arrange for you to take a ride."

"Go to the station now. You will be able to get on the train to Durban before noon. This is much faster than a horse-drawn carriage. Moreover, by using military routes, the confidentiality of your actions will be better."

The Durban that Warren mentioned was a city in Natal, now within the sphere of influence controlled by the British. As long as you get there, you will not be far from the front line of the battle.

Moreover, if military trains are used, no matter how powerful the cultists are, they will not be able to get their information so quickly. In this way, the enemy will lose their traces to a large extent, which can be said to be a very effective help.

"Thank you very much, this is really helpful."

As he spoke, Herbert turned the car around and aimed its route towards the city of East London.

During the past few days of inspections, he had memorized how to get to the train station in East London, and now he just had to rush there before the train arrived.

Seeing Herbert's actions, Warren immediately took out an envelope from his pocket and threw it over: "This is your proof. As long as you hold this, you'll be fine."

"OK."

After receiving the certificate thrown by Warren, Herbert said no more and drove directly, heading straight to the East London Railway Station.

Looking at the carriage going away, Warren pressed his hat and shouted to them: "I wish you a smooth return from this trip!"

If his guess is correct, the next actions of these three people may lead to very important results. I hope God will bless them with success.

By the time Karl and the others drove to the station, there were already a small number of soldiers ready to go, waiting for the train to arrive.

Because of the situation on the front line, in addition to the main source of troops, other cities within the British sphere of influence also provided combatants to a greater or lesser extent. What they saw in front of them were the soldiers preparing to go to the battlefield.

After getting off the carriage, the three of them found a young-looking soldier at the station and asked him when the train to Durban would arrive here.

After hearing their questions, the soldiers in front of them were a little surprised, but they still answered them: "Of course it's okay to tell you. If nothing goes wrong, it will arrive in about a quarter of an hour. It just so happens that I also want to take this train."

"but……"

As he spoke, he looked at the three people in front of him with some hesitation, Herbert who was wearing a robe and carrying a wooden box, Cyril who looked like a girl, and finally Karl who was dressed as an ordinary young man. Although there was nothing wrong with the combination of the three

, but it doesn’t look like he’s going to war.

So the soldier continued: "If you are planning to buy a ticket to go to Durban, then I suggest you give up this plan."

"Civilians don't have the right to ride the train now. Because of the war, it only allows soldiers to take it, and you can't get on it. And I think Natal is likely to become a war zone in the future. For safety reasons, I also recommend you

It’s best not to go there these days.”

"Thank you for your suggestion." Karl nodded towards the young soldier, and then said: "But we have obtained permission, and we have business to do when we go there."

"Oh well."

Seeing Karl's answer, the soldier shrugged helplessly.

After all, he has no right to interfere with other people's actions.

At this moment, Carl's keen hearing detected the whistle of a train in the distance.

This is the car they are going to take.

When Carl realized that the train had arrived, he immediately turned around and said to his companion: "I heard the sound of the train. We arrived at the right time. Let's enter the station."

After saying that, the three of them left here and walked directly to the station.

The soldier standing there was completely confused. How did this guy hear the train arriving at the station?

I didn’t notice any movement at all!

Not to mention the doubtful soldier, after showing the certificate sent by Warren at the station, under the respectful eyes of the station staff, they entered the platform unimpeded, and the train just started to enter the station, what Karl heard

Absolutely right.

Still using this certificate, they entered the personnel carrier.

The certificates provided by Warren were very useful. After showing the certificates, they were taken directly to a very good independent carriage, which seemed to be specially provided for the aristocracy and high-ranking officers.

Kaer and the three of them were arranged into a compartment. In addition to the good space for them to relax, there was even a pot of plants placed by the window. Two steps out, the next carriage was transformed into a cafe.

place.

Even in this war period, you can still have this kind of enjoyment on the personnel carrier, which really makes people don’t know what to say.

After waiting in the carriage for about half an hour, the whistle sounded again from the front of the car, and then the train started to move forward. Karl and the three of them officially headed to the city of Durban.

Sitting on the train, Karl suddenly remembered the carriage he bought.

Because we were leaving in such a hurry, the carriage was abandoned directly outside East London Station. Now that I think about it, I feel a little sad...
