Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 175 is on the road

The carriage drove on the winding mountain road.

"Uncle Oske, you are driving too fast, so the carriage is too far..." Claude climbed out of the carriage and sat next to Uncle Oske in the carriage.

"Drive, drive." Uncle Oske shook his voice twice in the air: "No way, the delay in the morning is too long. If you don't hurry, you have to camp in the Black Forest at night. There are wolves in there. If you can't get to Hessen Town at night, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. After all, we are not a caravan, a carriage, two horses and two people. If it is caught up by the wolves, it is difficult to take care of it..."

Claude Khan, no way, it is his fault to say, the time of the morning delay is because everyone sent him. Today is August 20th, which is the day when Claude is scheduled to leave for Kafilezt County. Although it takes only five or six days to arrive according to the estimated mileage on the map, in order to be safe, Claude decided to leave today. This way, you can familiarize yourself with the new environment even if you report it in the early days, and you can prevent the accident from happening on the trip for a few days...

Claude hired Uncle Oske's long-distance carriage for this purpose, and spent two gold krona's high price, so that Uncle Oske sent him to Kafrezite, Konigada, Fukby hills The military camp reported. It was only scheduled to start at nine o'clock. As a result, the number of people who did not expect to see off the trip would be so much. It was delayed until nearly eleven o'clock. It was not easy for Claude to bid farewell to his relatives and friends and set off on a horse-drawn carriage.

In fact, the mother got up early in the morning, wiping tears to prepare for Claude to make a last love breakfast before leaving home. It turned out that Claude had Kevin from the pharmacy lab. When he asked, he knew that Kevni didn't go back last night, and Claude spent the night in the pharmacy lab. So the mother turned to worry, and even Claude was forgotten to leave, surrounded by Kaffney, and even asked Claude if Kevni was pregnant, what name should the child give...

Claude is crying and laughing, and Kaffney is ashamed and embarrassed. He can only use Crowder's shoes to vent his feet under the table. Seeing that this mother has already regarded Kaffini as her daughter-in-law, she even wanted to let Kaffini move to the forest to live with her.

It was hard to calm down the mother. Claude used breakfast and went back to the study to pick up his backpack and set off. As a result, the mother made another big bag and prepared to let Crowder take it. When I opened it, my mother prepared it quite well, and even the winter sweater coat gloves and scarves were neatly placed inside.

Claude had to patiently explain with his mother that he was going to join the army and not to travel. There are military uniforms in the army. It is not allowed to wear other clothes. Whether it is summer or winter, you can only wear military uniforms. Therefore, it is enough to put a set of changing outerwear and two sets of underwear in your shoulder bag. Everything else. I don't need to bring it, he has already inquired clearly, even the towels and soaps are distributed in the army of daily necessities...

It was already 9:30 in the morning when Claude drove his family and Kaffini to the starting place agreed by the town and Uncle Oske. I didn’t wait for him to say goodbye to my loved ones. As a result, Uncle Thomas and Lu Dean’s housekeeper and others also rushed to see him off, so they greeted again and greeted, and the time was delayed...

Uncle Oske is also a national identifiable person, like Uncle Cooperrick’s father, when he became a national, he retired and returned to his hometown. Unlike Uncle Kubrick becoming a hunter, he became an hiring guard and walked south with the caravan. Later, when I was older, I used a savings to buy a long-distance carriage, and I worked as a coachman and guard. I didn’t have much business, but my life was still going on.

This time, Claude hired two long-distance carriages at the high price of two gold krona. He counted him for up to half a month, and at least one of Kim’s net income, so he promised very happy. I just didn’t expect that there were so many people who sent off the trip, and delayed the departure time for nearly two hours. Since the people who came to see him were all white-faced people, and Claude was an employer, he couldn’t say anything. It can only speed up the speed of the carriage after the road to make up for the delay.

Claude asked curiously as he sat down next to Uncle Oske: "Why are there wolves in the Black Forest? I haven’t heard anyone talk about it for a long time."

There is only one mountain road to the east of Bailu City. This is the only land export in the southwestern three counties. After turning over two mountains, it is in Anbrze County. However, it is necessary to cross the original Black Forest area to reach the area of ​​the Anbrze County. Fortunately, the road to Hessen is on the edge of the Black Forest. It only takes about five or six hours without crossing. The entire endless black forest center.

Claude is going to Kafilitzt, with a total of five counties in the middle of Ambrye County, Kouklia County, Chanalal County, Corusg County and Limassols County. Arrivals. According to Uncle Oske, if all the way goes well, six days is enough to get to Kafilezit County. Because the four counties are in the plains except for Limassolya, the transportation facilities are extremely convenient, the roads are well maintained, and it is very convenient for carriages.

"There are always wolves in the Black Forest, but they are not very close to the densely populated areas." Uncle Oske said: "Probably seven or eight years ago, the Hessen Town garrison once organized a large-scale hunting wolf. The event hired nearly 400 hunters to enter the Black Forest hunting wolves. That time, more than 300 wild wolves were killed, and almost all the wolves that wandered on the edge of the Black Forest were hunted. The town of Sen Town had a wolf disaster all over the place. Later, even a child of ten years old who entered the edge of the Black Forest would not encounter any danger.

However, two months ago, a caravan said that he had met the wolves on the way to Hessen Town. There were seven or eight people. They just looked at the caravan far away and did not rely very close. In the following days, there were traders who said that they heard the wolverines. Although they have not received any reports of being hurt by the wolves, there have been notices in the town of Hessen, suggesting the best group of merchants and travelers to Bailu Town. The team goes through the Black Forest and don't go alone to avoid being unpredictable. ”

"Strange, then we haven't issued a notice to White Lucheng?" Crowder asked.

“It’s very simple. Bailucheng’s trip to Ambry County is a big caravan. Even if it’s a separate trader and traveller, it’s not a caravan or a merchant ship to the port of Neru. You can wrap a carriage like you. There are very few long distances," Uncle Oske replied.

"Then, what if we run into a wolf group, I know that I will bring it out."

"Nothing, I brought a stone scorpion, a longbow, a shotgun, and a short sword and a hand axe. Basically, there are only six or seven wolves that don't have to worry. It is hard to say that camping in the Black Forest at night is very difficult. It’s hard to protect the carriage and the horse."

Crowder was shocked: "Uncle Oske, you have so many weapons hidden in the car, I have never seen it?"

"It’s all under my seat. This is the safety guarantee for my long-distance driving. It’s better to not let it go.” Uncle Oske said it was very indifferent.

"Long-distance driving is going to bring so many weapons. Isn't our kingdom's law and order very bad?"

"This is not to say that law and order is not good. Towns and villages are actually very safe, but the investigation is also very strict. You don't have to worry about what you have for the recruitment order and the pass. It is mainly because you will encounter fugitives and escape military service. The gangsters, who could not enter the towns and villages to get supplies, put their ideas on the caravans and passengers on the road, set up ambushes in some of the more remote areas, forcing the caravans to provide them with food supplies or robbing travelers.

Like the last time I sent a family to Mariek City in Tamotus County, it was because there was a group of gangsters in Tamurus County who fled from the labor camp and fled to the mountains to fight home. The local garrison and the Tamorus County Police Guard Camp have not been successful for many times, so the merchants and travelers who travel there must hire escorts to ensure safety. But when I came back, I saw that the Griffin Legion had a battalion that was heading to the mountains where the gangsters were entrenched. I believe that it will not be long before the gangsters will be annihilated. Uncle Oske and Claude talked about his knowledge.

The Griffin Legion is also one of the four ace of the Orpheus Kingdom, specializing in mountainous areas.

Lying in the grass, there is such a gang in the kingdom of Ovilas that needs to send the ace field army to clear the gang, which has never really been heard. Crowder was very surprised and opened his mouth: "Uncle Oske, is there such a lot of incidents like the gangsters in Tamurus County?"

Uncle Oske shook his head: "Not too much, very few. The gangsters in Tamurus County can be in the local area where there are mountains, hills, too many places to hide, not enough people. Going to hunt, and even giving them the opportunity to take the opportunity to sit down.

The five counties that we have to pass this way, that is, Limassolya County, because it is a mining development county, so the law and order is a bit confusing. Need to be careful, to avoid disputes and conflicts with the local tempered miners, there is no danger, there are people who have disputes like to use their fists to reason, win and ignore it and become rational.

As for your destination in Kafilitzt, I have never really been to the truth, this time it is the first time to send you in the past. Speaking of my time as a soldier, this Kafirazite is also the territory of the Nasri Kingdom. When I was a soldier for fifteen years and went to three battlefields, but did not set foot on the territory of the enemy country, it was really a shame to think of it. ”

Two people rushed to the long distance, the most fear is that no one chats. Since Claude climbed out of the carriage and sat in front to talk to himself, Uncle Oske was also interested in chatting with Claude about his experience as a soldier on the battlefield. Later he was hired as a caravan to guard the trip to the kingdom. Wait a minute, but I was very happy, and Claude listened with gusto.

Until the mountain road was down, Uncle Oske stopped the carriage next to a small stream, told Crowder, rested for half an hour, and ate something. He had to feed the horse and let the two horses of the cart take a break and replenish. Order salt and water.

At the same time he picked up the long cushion and asked what kind of weapon Claude needed. Crowder took a closer look. It was really true. I really didn't think that there was a weapon box under the seat that had been sitting for so long. The weapons that Uncle Oske said were really everything.

"I take the stone shovel, then give me the short sword, but unfortunately you have no two-handed swords. I am better at using that. But Uncle, you are very chic in this double-tube hunting. It is very troublesome to put the gun on the medicine... ..." Claude picked up the sarcophagus in the box, put the arm and the body in it, put it on the string, and tried the next strength.

Uncle Oske took the double-barreled shotgun out: "I have a custom-made gun. It is not far away, it is about 70 to 80 meters. It can be a big hit. You don't need to aim at it. Like me. It is most appropriate to drive a horse-drawn carriage and use this shotgun to counterattack. But as you said, this gun is also more troublesome to play, once to install two barrels, but when used, you can shoot twice. The first gun was used to warn, and the second gun was used to threaten it, which was enough for me and the carriage to retreat.

Now we have entered the borders of the county of Ambry, and then headed for the national road through the Black Forest. It takes an estimated five or six hours to reach Hessen Town from here. In addition to parking at a few campsites along the way to allow the horses to rest for ten minutes, we must be vigilant and well prepared. If all right, I think I should be able to get to Hessen Town at around 8:00 in the evening, so that we can stay in the hotel and have a good rest. ”

Crowder nodded and went out. It is best to follow the advice of Uncle Oske, who is often experienced in the South and North. Instead of paying for him because he paid for it, he would do what he wanted, and then he would give it. Find trouble yourself.

"Well, listen to you, Uncle Oske, let's have something to eat first. In the morning, they sent me a small bucket of rye to let us quench our thirst on the road. Would you like a cup first?"
