Chapter 487: Zhan Luan One

,!

"Calling! Calling!"

A guy dressed as a businessman ran into the tavern in a panic.

He was a very rich man, and he struggled to move his big belly, exhausting himself, but he didn't slow down his pace at all, and he didn't even care about the wig on his head that was about to fall off.

With a plop, the businessman and the waiter carrying the wine bumped into each other, and the two of them lay on their backs together, making intimate contact with the floor.

Liszt, who was drinking, put down his glass and looked at the embarrassed businessman.

Under his gaze, the businessman hastily got up from the floor, ignoring his soiled clothes, and screaming hysterically.

"Run, hurry up! Collins' cavalry is coming!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Jeb is a neutral city-state!"

Someone refuted him loudly, but there was a hint of fear in the voice.

The businessman replied unceremoniously: "Neutral? Neutral size, you can only be neutral if others tell you to be neutral. What's the use of calling neutral? The cavalry of the inlanders is only a few miles away from this city. Don't believe yourself. Go out and have a look! I won't talk nonsense with you!"

He slowly climbed up the stairs. This tavern also serves as accommodation, so he probably went to pack his luggage.

The guests who were drinking looked at each other.

Liszt's heart turned cold, and he thought he wouldn't be so unlucky, right?

Because of the tense situation in the Horn League, he left Niceborg early to avoid being involved in the vortex of the war.

On the fringes of the Horn Bay, there are also small, non-offending city-states that remain neutral, neither opposing the church nor condemning the apostasy of the coastal states. This provides a safe haven for some businessmen who are unwilling to leave Jiaowan—many people think that the war will not be too long, as long as one or two large-scale battles are fought, as one side loses, surrenders, loses money or cede land, Peace will soon be restored in Kok Wan, and they will be able to happily make money again.

Jeb was one such city-state that declared itself neutral.

But today, cavalry from the church side approached this city that did not want to be involved in the war.

The businessmen were discussing in a hurry.

"The lord of Jeb should come forward to negotiate, right?"

"Just now a friend told me that he saw the lord's convoy going hunting at the south gate."

"..."

Liszt no longer hesitated, he decided to leave the city immediately.

He padded the purse in his arms, and felt that it was enough for a while, so he decided not to go back to the residence to pack his luggage.

After running out of the tavern, Liszt went straight to a nearby carriage and horse shop, and the horse he was riding to Jeb fell ill.

After entering the carriage and horse dealership, his nervous heart was half relaxed. Fortunately, there were not many people here, and it seemed that not many people had heard the news.

He took a fancy to a mid-range carriage with two horses. The carriage was not big enough to accommodate two or three people.

He said to the coachman, "How much is it to go to Praia next door?"

The coachman held out three fingers, "Three silver coins, sir."

Liszt readily took out three silver coins and clapped them in the driver's hand, "Can we go now?"

"Yes, sir."

Just as Liszt was about to get into the carriage, he saw a large group of people rushing into the carriage.

"How much is it to go to Praia?"

"How much is it to go to Songsen?"

"How much is your horse?"

The influx of people came to rent cars or buy horses.

The coachman immediately understood what was going on, and he grabbed the lapel of Liszt who was about to board the carriage.

"Guest, it's ten silver coins now."

Liszt's face was livid: "Why are you so dishonest?"

The coachman chuckled: "The me just now is not the me now."

Liszt didn't want to argue with him on philosophical issues, he looked around the carriage.

How to do? Looking for someone else? But almost all the drivers are negotiating prices with others.

"Okay, ten is ten!"

Liszt gritted his teeth and agreed to the driver's price increase.

"Guest, please get in the car and get ready, we'll be leaving right away."

Liszt got into the carriage, the coachman shook the reins, and the two horses started to move the carriage.

Liszt noticed that something was wrong while waiting for the carriages and horses, "Wait, it seems that you don't go out from the city gate in this direction when you go to Praia?"

"Sir!" the coachman replied loudly, "my home is in Jeb, and I have a wife and children at home. I want to take them to Praia."

Liszt wanted to cry after hearing this, and secretly hated why he didn't find someone else when he got into the car dealership just now.

By the time the coachman arrived home to pick up his wife and children, the news of the cavalry outside the city had spread throughout the city. The streets were full of chaotic crowds, some running out of the city in a hurry, some rushing to buy food, and some looking around. Dear ones, the traffic is in chaos, which greatly affects the progress of the carriage.

After more than an hour, Liszt and his party finally came out of Jebu's city wall.

"Can your car go faster?"

Liszt was about to cry, anxiously urging the coachman who had just whipped the horse's ass.

"Master, this is the speed, it can't be faster, there are four of us sitting in this car."

The coachman could only answer him in this way.

The helpless Liszt had no choice but to keep drawing the holy emblem on his chest, praying that everything goes well for him and not to run into troublesome soldiers.

Unfortunately, I really come here for whatever I'm afraid of.

They had not gone three miles before they encountered two groups of troops on the plain ahead.

One group of troops carried the banner of Jeb, and the other group of troops, whose banner Lister did not recognize, should not belong to Collins, but most likely it was an ally of Collins.

The other pedestrians who had taken refuge on the road immediately turned around and ran away in all directions.

Liszt discussed with the coachman, and decided to hide in the nearby woods first~www.readwn.com~ The goal is too big to follow other people, God knows if there are other troops nearby.

When they came to the woods, they parked the car. The terrain here is higher, so you can see the surrounding situation clearly.

Liszt and the coachman quietly hid in the bushes at the edge of the forest, observing the two groups of troops that had already formed formation in the distance.

Soldiers on both sides seemed to be shouting at each other, dancing and dancing in gestures of contempt for the enemy.

But those knights on tall horses and in armor stared at each other motionlessly.

Liszt noticed that there were many unoccupied horses parked near the army of unknown banners. Perhaps the main force of this army was not cavalry, but infantry on horseback.

Accompanied by the ups and downs of horns and the waving of flags, both sides gradually quieted down, and then slowly approached each other under the command of those commander-like knights.

The infantry basically held spears in their hands. Those in the front row pointed their spears straight forward, and those in the back row stretched out their spears through the gap in the front row or put them on the front row. on the shoulders.

From a distance, the spear formations on both sides looked like two porcupines approaching each other with their backs facing each other.
