Working Prophet.

Chapter 344 The Gold in the Car

Herodotus did not mean to explain in detail.

Just motioned for Clara to follow him.

And the tall man wrapped in black armor who brought the little maid to Alberto's Great Temple before appeared outside the temple again.

Like a ghost.

But this time he didn't come alone. Behind him were more than 40 cavalry dressed like him, and a carriage that didn't look very conspicuous.

The tall man walked up to Herodotus and said in a low voice, "My lord, everyone has arrived. Except for Jin Tong, no one has seen him after noon."

Herodotus frowned, "Have you contacted him?"

"I asked people to mark many places in the city, but no one responded. Do you want to leave two people waiting for him?"

"No, there's no need. We don't have many people staying in the city. We can't allocate any more people for him. Leave him alone and go out of the city."

After speaking, Herodotus made a gesture of invitation to Clara on the side.

The little maid was still digesting what was in front of her, this scene was too sudden.

When she went out tonight, she thought that Herodotus was looking for her for the big battle tomorrow, and asked her to help contact Picia to bless the army.

But I didn't expect that Herodotus didn't plan to fight this battle at all, and he was going to sneak away before Martina came...

Of course Clara didn't want to go with Herodotus.

It's not that she has nostalgia for Multiscale City. Anyway, no matter where she goes, she will be put under house arrest by Herodotus and lose her freedom. The key is that the experiment at hand has been used in various ways.

The remaining materials are either too harsh, or the effect is not good. The most important thing is that Herodotus' requirements are getting higher and higher.

The little maid had a very thrilling pass today, but if Herodotus must hear Piscia's voice next time, then Clara would have to be blinded.

So she would rather stay in the city, even if the current multi-scale city has turned into purgatory.

"Why, is there any question?" Seeing that the little maid hadn't moved for a long time, Herodotus asked.

"I...I have to go back to my residence first. My clothes, handkerchief and other things are still there."

"Don't worry, I have already prepared the daily necessities for the journey."

"Ruby...and Ruby, she is my friend, I can't leave her alone."

"Don't worry, no one knows about her relationship with us. She is safe here. Sister Naima will take care of her. If you like her so much, you can wait for us to stabilize before taking her over." Herodotus road.

His voice was already a little impatient.

And Clara couldn't find any other suitable excuses, so she had no choice but to board the carriage.

Then Herodotus got into the car and sat opposite Clara.

There were about [-] black armored cavalry leading the way ahead, while the rest surrounded the carriage and walked out of the city in silence.

After descending the hillside, the howling and screaming outside became clearer, and there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.

It was the first time for Clara to encounter such a scene, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, holding her skirt with one hand.

On the other hand, Herodotus on the opposite side was very calm, and he took out the parchment and continued to figure it out.

During the period, there were several times when the voice was very close, and someone outside the car called for help, but soon the call for help stopped abruptly.

And the speed of the carriage did not decrease.

At first, the little maid thought that those who were seeking help were driven away, but she knew that these desperate people would not give up the straw in front of them so quickly.

The final answer made her shudder.

"There is a blanket under your seat, you can put it on if it's cold." Herodotus didn't look up.

Although the current multi-scaled city is in a mess, no one has ever harassed the carriage along the way.

After all, those heavily armed black armored cavalry looked very difficult to mess with. At this time, some of them were easy targets, so there was no need to touch such tough stubble.

Seeing that they were approaching the gate of the city, even Herodotus' spirit began to relax.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, followed by the screams of horses, and the sound of riders falling off their horses, mixed together, sounded particularly chaotic.

"Be careful! There is a surprise attack!" The tall man in the lead reminded aloud, although his companion was injured, his tone was not too nervous.

Because he had already seen the attackers on both sides of the road, there were not too many of them, only ten of them, and most of them had shot the crossbow arrows in their hands.

Most of their targets were horses, and their accuracy was astonishing. All eight arrows hit, and none of them missed!
However, because Herodotus and his party were not traveling fast, the person who fell off the horse was not seriously injured. After getting up, he rushed towards the attackers without the tall man's instructions.

The rest of the people continued to surround the carriage, using their bodies to form a solid shield wall to prevent any cold arrows from being shot into the carriage.

After a while, the cavalry of the Guards who rushed over had already engaged the attackers.

The tall man watched for a while, and found that the fighting power of these guys was quite strong, already able to catch up with the elite fighters of the major families, although most of them took advantage of the cheapness of weapons and equipment.

It is possible to block the same number of guard cavalry, and it is already very powerful that it has not collapsed until now.

At first glance, these guys are not the rabble in the new army, but the number is still too small.

If it wasn't for the protection of Herodotus in the carriage, all the cavalry of the Guards would have ended the battle in a short time, but even if only a quarter of the troops were dispatched, there would be no suspense about the outcome.

Just as the tall man was thinking this, he heard another shout, "There is gold in the cart! A cart full of gold!!!"

Then more than a dozen voices shouted together, "There is gold! There is gold in the car!"

It doesn't matter that this cry, it immediately attracted the new army who was busy looting around, and they still yelled, "Gold, where is the gold?"

"In the carriage! It's all gold! There are nobles in the city who want to escape before the war, and all their wealth is in that carriage."

Herodotus' face was ashen when he heard the words, but he couldn't come forward to clarify at this time.

Although he was the nominal commander of the new army, if these people really found out that he left them and left the city at this time, Herodotus might not even think about leaving.

Therefore, he could only order the cavalry of the guards to say, "Get out."

So the remaining 30 or so cavalrymen, regardless of their companions who were still entangled with the raiders, rode their horses to protect the carriage in the middle and continued towards the city gate.

"No, they're going to run away with gold!" someone in the crowd yelled again, and the new army started to chase desperately.

It's just that they only have two legs after all, so how could they outrun a four-legged horse, unless...

The tall man looked at the spikes on the ground, frightened and angry. In just a short while, another seven or eight horses were frightened and threw off the knight on their backs. They ran away without a trace, and the rest of the horses did not Dare to move on.

At the same time, the group of new troops behind them caught up again, and their numbers continued to increase.

Stimulated by gold, they seem to have forgotten the huge gap in weapons and skills between themselves and their opponents.
