Chapter 623: Reverse

Ten horse-drawn carriages departed from the cold wind city to the south along the road opened between the wilderness. The carriages are all heavy-duty models, and the carriages are closed, like transporting goods to a warehouse of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce.
When the convoy went out of the city gate, the horseman who drove the car raised his whip and drove the surrounding refugees. The whip crackled and it was scary. But the Liumin would rather go forward if they are beaten with a whip.
Inside a wagon in the middle, Old Bank's eyes can clearly see the outside conditions through the car observation hole.
The long-legged family has been driven away for more than half a year, and the city has changed dramatically.
Along the way from Broken Bridge City, Old Bank realized that the roads around Hanfeng City had been completely renovated. The pavement is widened, rebuilt, compacted, drains are added, and special maintenance is provided.
Some ramps and bends have been dug and straightened, the engineering volume is not small, but the traffic environment has been greatly improved.
The road is good, and the circulation of people and materials is convenient. Although the periphery of the city is still poor, the lives of residents have improved tremendously.
As for migrants outside the city, they have been around for decades. They are all bankrupt farmers or urban populations. They have no choice but to live outside the city.
The long-legged family has never managed these migrants, nor do they know how many. The nobility only cleared a wave when the refugees were like psoriasis.
Victor Hugo entered the cold wind city and did everything possible to check the population. After the inventory in the city is completed, those outside the city will be started, and they will strive to compile a realistic population roster.
Old Bank couldn't understand the purpose of the move. But after the roads and population are determined, at least the city becomes orderly. This alone is great good governance.
Every day, a part of the foreign population will be accepted in the city, so if you are lucky, you can become a person in the city. The refugees are desperately surrounded, looking for a job.
Because the opportunity is rare, so long as the city gate opens, no matter who comes out of the city, the refugees will come up. Even if it's not a hired foreman, it's okay to get a few whips.
Moreover, the ‘Master’ in the city is now more polite and does n’t hurt too much.
But the convoys out of town are not hired. The driver raised his whip and drove all the way south. Ten heavy-duty carriages passed through the shantytown outside the city, through the surrounding village farmhouses, through the wilderness woods and grasslands.
There were several other people in the same car with Old Bank, but he didn't know each other. He only knew that it was the 'Special Weapons and Tactical Squad' from the Cold Wind City Inspection Office.
This name is too strange to be understood. But the people in the city call this team the ‘hunting team’, and the captain is Adrian the city ’s close associate.
The dozen or so members of this team are basically at the fifth or sixth level. There are orc warriors, half-elf archers, halfling rogues, and priests of the "Mother of Disease" who specialize in doing wet work for the master of the city.
Even after repeated cleanups, there are still a large number of bandits and gangsters around the city, even including wild animals. Anyone who dares to make trouble around the cold wind city will be cleared by the 'hunting team'.
This squad has no affection for the nobility.
For example, that halfling rogue, a variant of thieves. He was a dumb man, always beating like a monkey in the carriage, staring at Old Bank's neck with a weird smile, hissing in his mouth, wanting to cut it open with a knife.
On the ten carriages, there are not only hunters but also Hugo's guards. More than twenty orc warriors, aluminum alloy plate armor, and axe with fine gold plating.
The aluminum alloy has a considerable magic resistance, and the gold-plated battle axe can break the magic. This is a team dedicated to charging.
Leading the team is Todd, an orc barbarian looking at a silly head.
In addition, the necromancer Mondino, the alchemist Jason, and even the Druinar, who was not usually dispatched, and the old gnome witch doctor Borg were also pulled up.
The maid of the lord is also there.
Old Bank even saw a girl with a flower on her head wearing a black and white skirt joined the team. Beautifully named to take care of the daily life of the lord.
But the girl was deflated, crying, and whispering in the background, "I don't know how to cast spells, what should I do if I fight?"
If you do n’t see her full of two pockets of magic gems, maybe Old Bank really feels her pitiful.
But now even the chief prophet wants to stay away from her. So as not to really fight, was inexplicably bombed to death by this girl.
Because of the good road conditions, the convoy reached the dense fog town 50 kilometers away in half a day. After a few kilometers, the speed of the convoy slowed down, because the road was full of people fleeing.
People were unkempt, panicked, and all fled north, hoping to take refuge in Hanfengcheng. Just ask a few words to know that the town of Thick Fog was attacked by the Banshee Army, and the town has lost its guard.
The town of Thick Fog belongs to the Lehman family. Baron Bishop refused to surrender the family and hanged its members one by one on the gallows outside the town.
The soldiers looted in the town, robbed finances, and captured slaves.
Today, His Excellency Baron ‘will’ spend the night in town. Tomorrow he will lead hundreds of knights and thousands of infantry against the hurried gathering of the cold wind city "rebellion".
It stands to reason that the baron will also be attacked by a 'strong' cavalry at a critical moment in tomorrow's battle. Only after he damaged more than a dozen sorcerer priests, more than a hundred noble knights and hundreds of infantry can he win a terrible victory.
Even Baron himself will be killed by Uncle Zhou who has entered the second state in ‘combat’.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhou hasn't gotten better himself, and he's fooling to read files.
When ten heavy-duty carriages approached the town of dense fog, old Bankman thought that Hugo Collar mainly joined forces with the Lehman and Minos families. He dismissed it and felt that Hugo was determined to lose. Sooner or later, he would escape to the Black Forest.
But the heavy-duty convoy approached Thick Fog Town and chose to bypass it. The old Bank could not understand what his new loyal lord was doing.
Thick Fog Town is the boundary between the cold wind city and Banshee Castle. After passing Thick Fog Town and going south, the road becomes very bad. The speed of the convoy fell.
There will be some checkpoints along the way, and the cold wind city will be blocked on the surface. But as long as the driver is giving some money, he can still pass smoothly.
If someone wants to check what is loaded on the carriage, either be charmed and let go, or lose their lives.
Before dark, the convoy crossed a distance of more than 100 kilometers and approached Banshee Castle from Hanfengcheng. More than forty people in the convoy entered a humble village to rest.
This village is under the eyes of the Buchi family, less than three kilometers from Banshee Castle. The people in the village were not surprised at the foreign convoy, and someone specially guided the driver into a closed forage.
Old Bank got out of the carriage and heard Hugo, who was leading the team, telling the driver: "Take care of the horses, and feed them the prepared beans and alfalfa. Let them rest for the night, and they will have to rely on them to catch the cold tomorrow. Windy City. "
Hearing this, the chief predictor was suddenly surprised. The situation in front of him completely upset his expectations.
This is not right, something seems to have changed.
"Lord, can you tell me your plan? Maybe I can provide some help." Old Bank walked to Zhou Qingfeng and asked.
"Oh, rest assured, I will use you. I need your help tonight." Zhou Qingfeng patted the old wizard's shoulder. "You take a rest first. Have something to eat. You have to do a lot at night."
After arriving at Banshee Castle, the team atmosphere became tense. Lord Lord who is not afraid of the sky and the earth is also worried. Now, no more than in the past, he doesn't have so many coupons to read files repeatedly.
Every step has to be careful.
The village arranged a room for everyone in the team. Old Bank surprised and confirmed one thing-Hugo even secretly buried a dark pile near Banshee Castle.
After entering his own room, the old Bank immediately used astrology to try to gain some predictions about the future. He also played the same arcane spell before, and saw the flames blaze in the cold wind city.
But this time, there was nothing.
Void failed to give an answer, only a dark and hollow.
At the same time, a carriage hurried at the gate of Banshee Castle to close the city.
Powell in the car looked around the city streets when he landed, greatly relieved.
"Ah ..., I finally left Coldwind City. I finally stayed away from the Victor Hugo. I was finally worried."
In the carriage, Johnson and his magic pet reluctantly dragged by Powell. Johnson didn't say anything, but the cheap bird shouted loudly: "Poor ghost, maybe you will be more unlucky?"
Powell was furious. "Damn bird, you shut up.
I finally rented this carriage for two days, just to stay away from that bastard. I am free, I am relaxed, and I am free from doom.
I don't believe that Victor Hugo can come to Banshee. This is impossible! "
"What if he comes?"
"I ate my shoes."
