On the Seven Towers

One day later, Xiao Chen and Viscount Yosa came to the Blackwood Pass again, followed by two 80mm pneumatic cannons pulled by horses. There were also six artillerymen from two artillery groups, and four melee soldiers as guards.

However, these four warriors were not ordinary soldiers, but were composed of two high-level warriors, Roger and Evelyn, and the two best mid-level melee warriors. And the artillery also included two high-level mages, Huang Zheng and Zhang Hong. In addition, Xiao Chen could be used as four people. Although this team was small in number, it was actually very strong. According to Xiao Chen, if Orgas really wanted to bite them, at least he would lose a mouthful of teeth.

This time, the city gate was not opened only a crack like last time, but almost completely. A bridge that was much wider than last time was built on the trench. Xiao Chen looked up and saw that it was no longer the knight from last time who greeted them, but Orgas himself. He was still wearing the blue plate armor he wore last time, but he also added a cape on his shoulders, which made him look more imposing. He was followed by more than a dozen knights in various armors and mages in robes. These were his most important subordinates.

"Count Olgas, this is Mr. Xiao Chen, the high-level mage of the Tower of China." Viscount Yosa said at the bridge head.

But Olgas obviously had no intention of coming to this side of the bridge. He said loudly over there: "Mr. Xiao Chen's courage is admirable. I am beginning to believe in your sincerity."

"We are very sincere to begin with. I believe that after this operation, Mr. Olgas can truly trust us."

"Of course!" Olgas raised his hand and made a welcoming gesture, saying: "Please enter the customs."

"This man is a master." Roger drove the horse and whispered to Xiao Chen.

"Doesn't the intelligence say that he is a high-level peak?" Xiao Chen said.

"I don't know when the information was obtained. But he must have been promoted not long ago. Just when he spoke loudly just now, I could hear that his breath was a little unstable, because he had not yet completely sorted out the evolved Dou Qi energy. Because I am also at the peak of the high level, I can feel this."

"Your feeling is correct." Evelyn said, "I have the same feeling. But he didn't hide anything, maybe this is not bad news."

At the end of the team, Zhang Hong swallowed his saliva as he looked at the Black Wood Pass that covered half of the sky, but his feet hesitated.

Huang Zheng said: "Since you are here, what is there to hesitate about. Speaking of which, I really didn't expect you to agree to take this risk."

"Just kidding, I was also the one who went to the horse thieves' lair and chased them all. In terms of courage, there are really few people in the school who are bigger than me." Zhang Hong glanced at Huang Zheng and said.

"Anyway, I have a new respect for you for participating in this mission." Huang Zheng patted their shoulders and whispered, "Even if you are doing it to gain political capital."

Zhang Hong's face tightened, Huang Zheng smiled at him, and continued to move forward. Zhang Hong gritted his teeth and stepped onto the wooden bridge.

Huang Zheng was right. Zhang Hong volunteered to participate in this action just to brush up his resume. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that since they were going from a school to a country, the corresponding system would be established soon.

The committee had not changed its term for two years. Although some basic details of the government establishment model were still under discussion, maintaining the structure of committee rule was the mainstream opinion. In the next eight to ten years, they did not have the time to spend too much energy on internal reforms.

The way in which the committee members would be elected by each functional department and then recommended upward had been basically determined. This way of establishing a government was currently the most stable and least changing model. According to the rumors he had heard, each department would elect a full member and two deputy members. Zhang Hong did not dare to think about being a full member, but there was still hope that he could squeeze into a deputy member position and become a member of the committee meeting.

In order to have a better chance of getting ahead, he also applied for a transfer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where Luo Ling and Xiao Chen were both, and ran to the newly established Ministry of Transport. Now, in the circle of people in the school, his resume is still quite competitive because of his achievements in the previous battle against horse bandits, escaping from the tiger's den, and capturing the mage alive. If you add his performance in this war, there are not many people who can surpass him. It is worth it for him to be able to become a political rising star step by step.

While Zhang Hong was daydreaming, Xiao Chen and the pneumatic cannon behind him had crossed the wooden bridge and arrived at the city gate. He stood in front of Count Olgas, who looked the young man up and down and saluted, saying, "Nature grants abundance. Sir Xiao Chen, I am glad that we can stand on the same side in the fight against the empire."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, returned a wizard salute, and then pointed to the two pneumatic cannons behind him and said, "Count Olgas, although we come from different places, it is our common wish to protect this land and the people living on this land, so we can naturally stand on the same side. You can look forward to the performance of these two big guys."

"Is this the pneumatic cannon you are talking about?" The Count walked to the pneumatic cannon pulled by horses. When he passed by Roger and Evelyn, he glanced at each of them and showed a hint of a hidden smile.

He carefully looked at the pneumatic cannon and gently stroked it with his hand for a while, "It is hard to imagine that two iron pipes like these can burst out such a terrifying force."

He looked up and said to his subordinates: "Maybe my words are too poor, so you can't imagine what Suero has experienced, nor can you feel what I feel, but now, you will soon be able to see the scene I described."

Xiao Chen suddenly realized that today's "performance" was also asked by the Count to be performed for his subordinates. You know, at this time, the army is often composed of the lords' own men. Although Orgas is the commander, his control over some troops may be limited. Now the more than ten people standing aside obediently may not buy into Orgas's account. It may not be an easy task for the Count himself to let these people cooperate willingly and hand over the soldiers and power in their hands. This requires Xiao Chen and others to appear strongly and let them see the overwhelming power of the Chinese.

Thinking of this, he asked: "Sir Orgas, are we ready to start now?"

"Just what I want." The Count said.
