Chapter 626: Chapter 469, Mounted Shooting_3
But her free-spirited nature might make her unsuitable for this position.
Suspecting this, Fang Hao asked Rolana, “Rolana, are you sure you’re okay with this?”
Rolana gave Fang Hao a plain look and softly replied, “I’m fine.”
“Oh, that’s good!”
Rebecca also smiled and said: “Rolana has shared several management experiences with me, she’s completely capable of handling the city for a while. Don’t worry.”
“Yeah, of course I trust her.”
While Fang Hao said this, he wondered in his heart.
She is knowledgeable, but whether she wants to manage is uncertain.
Of course, they would only be gone for a short while and the city would operate according to the original plans, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
After chatting with Rebecca.
Fang Hao began preparing for his traveling troop.
The 100 Lionheart Knights around Aseti were all carrying bolt action rifles on their backs.
And in their attributes list, a new skill, Mounted Shooting, was added.
[Mounted Shooting]: This unit can skillfully shoot while riding. (The accuracy decreases by 2% for each multiple of the mounted movement speed).
It was clear that the Lionheart knights had mastered the skill of using rifles while riding.
What remained to be seen was the precision they displayed in actual combat.
“My lord, all the baggage is ready, we need some wagons to haul it,” Aseti announced.
“Okay, I will prepare now.”
He opened the Book of Lords and looked for the blueprint for the dwarf wagon.
[Dwarf Iron Wagon: 400 Hardened Wood, 200 Thick Leather, 200 Iron, 150 Cast Iron, 50 Dwarf Iron, 120 Metal Parts.]
Confirm production.
[100-fold Amplification Triggered, Obtained 101 Dwarf Iron Wagons.]
One by one, the wagons lined up in the backyard.
Compared with the merchant wagons they had before, the dwarf wagons were quite different.
The overall height of the wagon is slightly shorter and it had an entire compartment.
The compartment was made out of metal frameworks and wood, similar to a simplified version of a noble’s carriage.
The skeleton of the carriage was made from metal.
This included the wheels and the base frame underneath the carriage.
The wheels underneath even had a sophisticated gear design that made it much easier for the horses to pull the carriage along.
Indeed, it was much better than an ordinary carriage.
“Aseti, Demitrija, have your men load the supplies onto the wagons and make preparations as soon as possible,” Fang Hao instructed.
“Yes, my lord,” Demitrija replied. He began to command his troops to load the supplies onto the wagons.
“What should we do?” Anjia asked from the side.
Fang Hao glanced at her, then turned to Lorrey, who was curiously looking around, “You take Lorrey, go sightseeing here, come back before we leave.”
“Oh, good.” Anjia, taking Lorrey with her, dashed into the Castle.”
The whole backyard was busy making final preparations.
At this time, Rebecca came over again, and directly asked: “What’s with these wagons?”
“What do you mean?” Fang Hao asked back.
“They seem better than the ones we use.”
So that’s what she was talking about.
Fang Hao immediately explained: “Indeed, they’re better than ordinary wagons, the dwarf design it to save the horse’s energy when pulling, and it’s considerably more robust.”
“Oh, is that so!” Rebecca’s eyes lit up.
She then walked back to her troop, clapping her hands and shouted: “Everyone switch to these iron wagons, transfer all the supplies to them.”
At Rebecca’s command, everyone started moving.
Supplies that were already loaded onto the wooden wagons were being transferred to the iron wagons. Horses would be switched as well.
The wagons initially prepared by Lyss City were all set aside.
When all the preparations were done.
Rebecca once again gave a few words of instruction to Rolana and Habert.
The army set off, resplendently departing through the city’s east gate, embarking on their journey towards Silver Wing City.
…
The team advanced along the route…
Forming a long, thin line.
In the front were Rebecca’s carriages and escort troops, and Fang Hao’s carriages were at the end of the line.
Lionheart Knights surrounded them for protection.
Among them, there were also contracted mercenary groups besides the troops of Lyss city and Fang Hao’s Lionheart Knights.
The Flame Mercenary Group, which Fang Hao had contact with previously, was one of them.
The mercenary groups guarding the City Lord had all undergone strict selection.
They also had to fulfil the requirements for both strength and credit ratings at the Task Hall to be hired by the City Lord.
Similarly, being hired by the City Lord was also a symbol of honor.
It encapsulated the reliability and credibility of the mercenary group, attracting more employers to choose them in the future.
…
The team walked from morning till dusk.
It was quite peaceful along the way.
While passing through an uninhabited area, there were only some wild beasts that followed from the forests.
These beasts were quite self-aware. Seeing that the team was considerable in size and fully armed.
They followed for a while at a distance before stopping.
Watching as the team moved on.
Although the journey was smooth, they still needed to find a place to stay overnight.
At this moment, a cavalryman approached from the front of the team.
He said in a low voice: “My lord, Lady Rebecca said that there’s a potential camp up ahead, possibly a city of a transmigrator. She asked if you could see if we could spend the night there.”
This was a barren land; they could camp outside, but needed to be wary of attacks from wild beasts.
The beasts might cower during the day.
But when night falls, and the team was exhausted, it would be easier for the beasts to attack.
If there was a village or a camp, it would be much safer than camping outdoors.
When scouting troops discovered a potentially transmigrated city.
Rebecca’s first thought were for Fang Hao to speak to them.
Next, without waiting for Fang Hao to agree, the team began detouring from the main road towards the target city.
After walking about five minutes.
From the front came shouts and the sound of anguished roaring from bears.
