378 Waiting for Potential
When Barlow came to the city wall with a dozen guards, the hovercraft had already stayed under the city wall for a while. Looking at this somewhat familiar steel giant, the city guards did not rush to attack. After all, some time ago, they witnessed There are not a few people who have experienced this thing, and many people know that the city lord has some unclear relationship with this giant steel beast.
"It really is him!" Barolo stood behind the wall, looking at the hovercraft shining brightly in the sun, feeling a little unhappy and worried.After all, if anyone has been threatened with their lives, they will not be too comfortable, but he is also very clear that he has no power to resist in front of Chen Xiansong. That woman is too scary. He feels that even the real Sun God The servant may not be that woman's opponent.
"Is this the thing?" A mature female voice sounded pretty nice.Philox brought her subordinates to the city wall. She looked at the shiny and smooth hovercraft below, her eyes were full of greed: "It's really Ohari steel, you actually let go of such a precious thing in front of you!" ?”
"It's not mine, and I don't dare to touch it. After all, I'm just a little nobleman. Some things are beyond my touch." Barlow turned his head and said something, then turned around, facing no one in front of him. A sinister smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.
Feeling complacent, he plucked his long hair, and Philox said: "Yes, you are a good person, and you are very self-aware. If the little nobleman wants to survive, he must have self-awareness. In this regard, you have done a good job. Now I believe that you did not kill the previous lord, because you are very rational. So you dare not."
Barlow turned around, bowed slightly sincerely, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I'm glad you think so, ma'am. In my philosophy, nobles should be divided into ranks and ranks, and each has his or her own job. It is the way of a country’s prosperity. I think in this regard, we need to learn the concept of the Kingdom of Cathay, the father of heaven and earth, the simple four words. It is the most reasonable in the world.”
"What you said is quite reasonable, but our country has its own national conditions. We cannot copy the systems of other countries." Philox looked at Barlow with a half-smile: "You are not a real lord now, just a temporary substitute. You don't need to think too much about many things, otherwise you will be exceeding your authority."
Barlow nodded yes, then stepped aside.Philox is only a woman though.But her title is high.With emotion and reason, it is not a shame for Barlow to follow her instructions.Besides, Philox has a lot of power to decide whether Barlow can officially assume the position of city lord.
Once again, Philox was very satisfied with Barlow's knowledge. She looked at the hovercraft below the city wall and asked, "Your Excellency Barlow, how much do you know about this strange thing below? What kind of creature is it?"
Barlow stroked his chin, organized his words, and said, "Dear ma'am. I have observed this thing at close range. It should not be a creature. It is a strange ancient relic, because I saw someone walk into it with my own eyes. Its body, and then it floats up, although the floating height is not too high, it is enough to travel in most environments."
"Ancient relic? Flying?" Hearing these key words, Philox's eyes became brighter, and his greed became more exposed: "I thought it was just a beast clad in Ohari steel, and I thought it had some Wisdom, I didn't expect it to be an ancient relic."
When she thought that such a precious and magical ancient relic would belong to herself, and thought that she was about to make a big splash in the imperial city, she couldn't help moaning.A young man came out behind her and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, we need to think carefully about this matter. An ancient relic is not something that ordinary people can have, and it sounds like this ancient relic is very useful. I think the other party may be quite It's difficult, after all, if they don't have some confidence, they dare not release such an important thing for the world to see."
Philox gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "Roland, what do you mean? Are you saying that my status is insufficient and I am not qualified to obtain such a precious ancient relic? Or is it that our strength is not strong? Four hundred elites The knights are not their opponents?"
"That's not what I mean, ma'am." The young man named Roland quickly lowered his head and said, "I'm just worried about the forces behind the enemy. If they have unusual backgrounds, it might bring harm to our family. Quite adverse effects, ma'am, please consider carefully."
"I don't need to think about it." Philox snorted: "This is our own country, no matter how powerful the other party is, they are beyond our reach, or they are members of the nobles of our country, I would like to ask them, it is so important Why didn’t they hand over to the royal family, but they used it themselves.”
"Ma'am!" Roland raised his head, his pretty handsome face was serious: "I think this matter has a bad feeling, please consider my opinion carefully. We don't have to deal with them directly now, please Let's investigate their identities, otherwise, if we stab a hornet..."
"Enough!" Philox shouted, stopping Roland from continuing: "I have to admit, you are very smart, Roland. But you have a bad point, that is, you are too cautious. Many times, we You must be decisive, according to what you said, when we finish investigating the identity of the other party, this thing will have disappeared long ago, and at that time, whoever will find it for me."
Russell said: "We can stop them first, temporarily put them under house arrest in the name of investigating spies, make nice confessions, try not to make them angry, and then we can investigate their identities in a few days. "
"Roland, your plan is impossible to succeed at all." Before Philox could speak, another male follower stood up and said: "The enemy is not a fool, maybe they will find something wrong before we detain them, and take the initiative to attack us , instead of being passive, it is better for us to arrest the other party directly, and we will kill the other party without doing anything, once and for all, even if people from their family come to the door in the future, we will refuse to admit it, and it will be no problem if we push the matter away. "
"But……"
"Okay, Roland. Stop talking." Philox interrupted the young man's words savagely, and then she stood aside and looked at her nose and eyes.Barlow, who pretended not to hear or see anything, said, "Your Excellency Barlow, after half an hour, you open the city gate and let that ancient relic come in. During this half hour, we will make some arrangements. You will never see or hear what happened an hour later. Do you understand?"
Barlow nodded.
Philox turned around and left. Four hundred knights were already on standby in the inner city. When her figure disappeared from the city wall, Barlow had a smug smile on his face.This tiger fights.There must be an injury.If Philox wins, then he feels that he will vent his anger. After all, the last time Chen Xiansong threatened him in the middle of the night, it dealt a great blow to his heart.
If Chen Xiansong wins, something will happen to this woman. At that time, he only needs to find a reason to accept those knights, even if there are only dozens of knights left.It is also a great help to him and his family.
And under the city wall.Chen Xiansong sat on a chair, looked at the soldiers on the city wall, and waited in Yanxin.
Ma Huameng was a little strange: "The hovercraft looks very strange. It stands to reason that these natives would be scared when they saw it, but why didn't they attack us? We are already so close to the city wall!"
Chen Xiansong smiled and said: "When we passed here before, we had a not-so-pleasant interaction with the city lord here, and the soldiers here have already seen our hovercraft, so they won't be too scared .I think someone should have gone to report the news of our arrival to the city lord by now, and they will definitely open the city gate within half an hour or as long as an hour."
"Oh, it seems that you are very confident?" Ma Huameng stared at Chen Xiansong with a strange expression.In other words, she's been in a strange mood recently, she seems to hate Chen Xiansong very much, but she still can't help but come to chat with him.
"I have self-confidence, but the source of confidence is not me, but Xiao Min." Chen Xiansong smiled, and after briefly explaining what happened, he continued: "As long as this city lord is still a little rational, then He will definitely react, either open the door or fight us, but the latter option is seeking his own death no matter how you look at it, so he will probably open the city."
Ho... Ma Huameng sighed lightly, not knowing what she meant.After a moment of silence, she lay back on the sofa and continued to sleep.
Bai Qianxin looked at her, remembered her recent behavior, smiled slightly, and then continued to snuggle up to Chen Xiansong's side.
The three members of Macy's family continued to huddle in the corner. Although Chen Xiansong always wanted to get closer to them, the identities between the two parties were a natural chasm. Messi didn't dare to jump over it, and even took a look at it. There is no courage in the deep moat.
About half an hour later, the city gates were opened and the drawbridge was lowered.Bai Min started the hovercraft and slowly drove into the city.As soon as they entered the city gate, the suspension bridge was pulled up again at a very fast speed. Through the glass window, Chen Xiansong saw several soldiers closing the city gate in a hurry. Their expressions were even a little nervous. .
strangeness!There are no enemies nearby, why are they nervous?Chen Xiansong thought for a while, then he suddenly said: "Xiao Min, Sister Qianxin, pay attention, I think something is wrong."
Hearing this, Bai Min immediately raised the height of the hovercraft to three meters. Although the limit height of the hovercraft is five meters, because of the 'wind carpet', this height cannot be maintained for a long time, which is about ten meters. A few minutes are generally used to cross some more complicated road sections.
And three meters above the ground is the safest and easiest height to control for the hovercraft. She is alert to her surroundings, and Bai Qianxin also starts to close her eyes, focusing most of the chip's ability on hearing... Although The wind blowing by the hovercraft is very loud, but Bai Qianxin, who is fully inclined, can use the ability in the chip to perform calculations, block out the noise, and improve her hearing ability.
After a while, she opened her eyes, her sweet expression turned cold: "Xiao Song, you are right, we are surrounded, and there are between three and four hundred cavalry about 100 meters behind the houses Stand by and surround me like a bag, the visitor is not kind."
"Hey! Is this your confidence?" Ma Huameng opened his eyes, then sat up, with a strange mockery on his face.
Chen Xiansong also felt a little embarrassed. In his mind, Barlow should not have the guts to fight against them again, unless something happened.
"Xiao Min, find a way to break through." Chen Xiansong hesitated for a while, and used the easiest and most effective method you think, without caring about the enemy's casualties. "
Bai Min nodded, and the speed of the hovercraft began to increase little by little.
Ma Huameng smiled and said: "It can be seen that you still don't have the heart to kill the enemy, but at least you gave the correct order, which is good. Because excessive kindness may not be rewarded. If you are alone , of course you can act according to your own ideas, but now you have relatives, wives, and lovers. I heard from Bai Qianxin that you still have people who need your care. If you die, it will definitely not be good for them What a good thing, so...you have to learn to be cruel, which is good for everyone."
Chen Xiansong was silent for a while, and then said: "Strange, Hua Meng, I found that you like to lecture me a lot recently, do you want to..."
"I'll let you die!" Ma Huameng gritted her teeth resentfully, then lay down on the sofa again, muttering to herself: I decided to leave him alone, why did it start again, damn it...
Chen Xiansong was a little helpless. He recently found that Ma Huameng's mood became more and more strange. Could it be his menstrual period?He remembered that in the book "Necessary Self-Cultivation and World View of Natural Persons", it was said that natural person women always have a few days of emotional irritability and capriciousness every month.
He slandered in his heart, the hovercraft drove faster and faster, and Chen Xiansong found that there was no pedestrian on this street.Turning around a street corner, Bai Min saw three rows of heavy armored cavalry in front... Everyone was wearing thick yellow armor, the whole body was wrapped up, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and the horses were also wearing heavy armor. , weighing at least one ton.
Heavy cavalry!
Bai Min froze for a moment, after a short calculation, she found a bad place.Because it just turned a corner, the speed of the hovercraft has dropped a lot, and now the distance between the two sides is very close, and the opponent is also a 'heavy unit'. Without enough speed, the hovercraft cannot pass through the opponent's defense line.
Bai Min turned around and immediately told Chen Xiansong about the situation. He hesitated for a moment, and then said bitterly: "Next time, I must add a collision blade in front of the hovercraft! Xiao Min, rise to a height of five meters!" Can you rush over their heads?"
"Yes!" Bai Min replied: "But there is an unexpected factor. The enemy did not use anti-element arrows, so they have long-range attack capabilities. After the hovercraft rises to a height of five meters, the center of gravity will become unstable. Kinetic energy attack, may fall down." (To be continued...)
"It really is him!" Barolo stood behind the wall, looking at the hovercraft shining brightly in the sun, feeling a little unhappy and worried.After all, if anyone has been threatened with their lives, they will not be too comfortable, but he is also very clear that he has no power to resist in front of Chen Xiansong. That woman is too scary. He feels that even the real Sun God The servant may not be that woman's opponent.
