1481 Gone With The Wind
Zeno thinned his lips, staring at the visitor who went back into the vehicle.
"Make way! Make way for them to pass!"
Just like that?
Many had questions but dared not ask.
They could only pull their horses and drag their feet aside to create a wide opening.
Landon smirked, giving one last look at the fiery-haired Zeno. "Thanks."
Bam!
The door was shut, and finally, they were on their way to the Capital!
As for directions, they had gotten quite a few from the people home to Romain treaty signed empires who had visited Titarian before.
This was Titarian's most popular coastal city. And a majority of those they asked gave directions on where to go after docking here.
'After leaving Dario city, we should pass Woodstock village, flower bridge village, mountain peak village, and several others before reaching Barbo town.' Landon thought.
These medieval people knew how to give detailed directions.
What was even surprising was that some who had visited the Titarian decades ago could still recall every little thing they saw.
They would go as far as describing the hills, the ground texture, and even the unique features around each region, letting him know he was on the right track.
.
For example, after leaving Dario city, they should follow the main road, taking a left and swirling behind 3 vast, towering hills so wide that it would take 13 hours on horseback to pass through.
And along the roads on these particular paths, one could always spot what they called blue worm birds. Once they see them, you know you're on the right track.
Landon only wanted to pat the backs of these medieval people. Was it just him, or were their brains sharper than those from modern earth?
How can a child of 12 describe things so accurately, whereas a full-grown adult back in his former world wouldn't even be able to take notice of every particular thing that made each road or region important?
The information they gathered was very detailed, though it was rightly missing out on a few cities and places.
This was maybe because during traveling, some would sleep during the day within the carriages and wagons, hence missing out on a lot of information.
Again, some of the information they gathered had different starting points other than Dario city.
So connecting the dots was quite tasking.
Lucy and her team also had a different path to take once leaving Dario city.
They were both heading to the Capital via different routes. And while Landon would reach the Capital sooner, Lucy's team had other things to do along the way before they arrived as backup.
Indeed.
Like always, they had enough to start their journey but not enough to continue further.
But as a wise man said: In this life, there's more than one way to take to reach one's final destination.
Landon's only concern was that they reached fast before the son of heaven's head got sliced off by the enemy.
Because once the boy dies, then he too dies as well!
That's it—no more time to waste.
.
Vrmmmmm!!!~~
The vehicles took off in rows of 2, shocking the audience with their speed.
"Wipe! Isn't it moving faster than my horse?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to say."
"Look! Look! It's already moving past the leveled plains and climbing up the slopes!"
What sort of heavenly operation was this?
In a blink of an eye, the vehicles were already far away.
So... Wasn't this a magic trick?
"Quickly! Quickly, you fools! After them!!!"
Murdoch bellowed to his men, gritting his teeth and kicking his horse vigorously.
They must not lose sight of the people.
Chase... Chase... Chase after them!
Murdock looked murderous.
His hair flapped in the wind, and his eyes shot red like Cruella Deville chasing after the puppies.
Gallop. Gallop. Gallop.~
Murdoch chased and chased until he and his boys finally left the forest perimeters and entered the busy streets.
Too bad they were too far behind the vehicles.
"Dammit! Dammit! Damn it!!!"
Murdock was about to explode.
'Mine! Mine! Mine!'
His beautiful carriages were flying away right before his eyes, only leaving small silhouettes the further they drove off.
His aura became so deadly that even the horses seemed spooked.
"This is all your fault!"
Pah.
With a heavy kick, he forced his horse forward. "If you don't catch up, I'll roast you for dinner!"
The horse couldn't speak human, but it knew Murdoch's words were definitely not good.
It allowed with all its might under fear but still failed to keep up with the Horsepower engines of these vehicles.
.
Vrmmm!~~
In no time, The vehicles passed through the street regions that seemed the most streets until they finally merged within the bubbly areas and exited the city via the gates, leaving everyone's mouth hanging wide open.
F***!
What did they just see? What sort of carriages were these?
"Brother, I wasn't dreaming, right?"
"This... If this is a dream, then why are you here? Where are all the girls?"
"..."
Like so, the streets were full of talk about the strange carriages.
You have to know that the city itself was enormous, being one of the biggest and popular Coastal cities in the empire.
Thus, to reach the eastern sections, southern, northern, central, and all other parts of the city would take a few hours on horseback.
Yet, these vehicles had stormed through the scene so quickly in a matter of minutes.
In truth, if the city lord and a few other nobles weren't visiting the knighthood academy near the docks, they wouldn't have been able to make it on time to see these visitors.
Likewise, Murdock's villa was also nearby since he wanted to stay close to the docks.
Estates around these parts were not likable because they were close to potential enemy attacks via sea.
After 2 and a half hours, Murdock arrived at the city's gates with a devastating look in his eyes.
Gone.
They were long gone with the wind.
