Chapter 594 What the Hell!

On this night, Tang En lived a very blissful life. At the same time, someone suffered a disaster. On this night, another person suffered an unreasonable disaster...

During breakfast the next day, Grandia kept glaring at Tang En fiercely.

Just because of this bastard, she couldn't sleep well last night!

Her body was sticky all night, and she couldn't fall asleep despite tossing and turning. This was the first time in her life that she had insomnia.

Tang En didn't know what Grandia was thinking. He had not yet recovered from what happened last night.

Olina had been holding Tang En's arm all morning, her walking posture was very unnatural, and she could only lower her head in embarrassment when facing the different looks from others.

This unreasonable disaster happened so suddenly that she had no idea what to do.

After breakfast, the group was ready to set off.

Of course, the city lord Haydn will be there to see him off: "Your Majesty, please be careful on the way. There have been many bandits and bandits coming from the Abalon Territory recently. Although our guards have cleared some of them, they are short of manpower, so there are still many mountains and bandits." Thieves are on the loose.”

"It's okay, let's take the highway."

Haydn suddenly understood: "Oh, yes, there is a highway now, and it is very safe under the protection of the dragon's magic."

Before leaving, Tang En set up a teleportation array at the Datang Chamber of Commerce's stronghold. It was not large in scale, but it was enough to quickly transfer people and materials. After all, the Datang Chamber of Commerce had already represented all the major markets here. Yes, they only exist as a supplier, there is no need to be too ruthless.

If agents can’t make any money, who will come to them?

After breakfast, Tang En and the others set off again, one by one on their Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and rushed toward Paganis in the southeast amidst the roar.

The straight-line distance between Preston and Paganis is not far, only about two hundred kilometers. At the speed of a Harley motorcycle, a group of people arrived at Paganis on the Rhone River just after noon.

Yes, on the Rhone.

Similar to Venice on Earth, Paganis is a very rare water city.

The situations of Paganis and Preston are very similar, except that they don't even have specialty products. Preston still has mines and gems, but Paganis only has one Rhone River, and this river is everything to them.

Both sides of the Rhone River are cultivated by farmers, but there are very few farmers in Paganis. These farmlands are basically idle, and only a small part is cultivated. On the one hand, this is because the average income of the residents here is considered to be well-off or above in the entire Illrus Empire, and most of the food depends on imports. On the other hand, it is because most of the residents here make a living by water transportation.

Merchants who bought goods from Preston transported the goods to Paganis and then hired ships here to transport them downstream. Some went north to Arinks after reaching the town of Quirin, and some continued eastward directly. , go to sea from Dawn Town, go south to Fira or the port city of Ronitant, Blue Water City, or go north to the port city of Storm City in the Kingdom of Solant.

Of course, some people who are more courageous or have special conditions will choose to continue sailing eastward and go to some islands to do transactions with deep-sea Nagas.

After all, Paganis is an inland city. These people have not been hit by sea storms, and their experience on the water is worse than that of the sailors in Fira. Therefore, the hiring price of most sailors is very cheap. With the current sea ships of Purandal Speed, one trip on these routes basically takes a month, but the income is also considerable. Even the sailors of Paganis can earn a hundred gold coins after one trip, so the people of Paganis also I would love to be a sailor and make a living on the water.

Young men go out to work as sailors, old people stay in the city to take care of themselves, and women farm on the outskirts of the city. This is the current situation of Paganis.

"The end of the road."

Tang En and his group left the highway. There were several fields of farmland in front of them. Not far along the official road was Paganis. Standing here, you can see those unique pointed-corner style buildings.

Elsa was very excited at this moment: "I heard that Paganis is a water city, it must be very beautiful."

"maybe."

Tang En smiled hoarsely, put away his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and then the group headed for Paganis.

After nearly a thousand kilometers along the way, Tang En was very satisfied with the performance of the Harley. Using the magic crystal as the power source, not only did he not have to worry about refueling at all, but the speed and stability of the Harley motorcycle were quite satisfactory. He used the light crystal as the headlight. The lighting effect at night is also very good, and there is no problem in mass production and use.

Tang En calculated the total number of soldiers in the Illrus Empire now. If he wanted to equip a quarter of the soldiers and improve their arms into a highly mobile mobile combat force, at least 10,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycles would be needed.

Based on Ellington's current output of several hundred units a day, it may take more than half a year to meet the demand.

"It's time to expand production capacity..."

Tang En sighed silently. It was imperative to expand production capacity, not only because of the reform of the cavalry, but also to pave the way for the later magic energy industry.

Using Harley-Davidson motorcycles as a breakthrough point, we will start with soldiers first, and then expand the production of low-standard civilian models, so that the whole people will gradually accept the convenience of Magic Industrial Products. The subsequent birth of Magic Motors will greatly promote this process, and transportation The acceleration of the speed will increase the flow of people between cities, and the flow of people will bring about the flow of materials and wealth, and the vitality of the entire society will be greatly increased.

In order for people to accept the birth of magic cars, Harley-Davidson motorcycles are a necessary link.

"What's going on? Why are people gathering outside the city?"

Just as Tang En was immersed in thinking, Aegwin's doubtful voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"What's wrong?"

Aegwin explained: "I have been here before. Most of the people in Paganis live in the water city, but now..."

Aegwin pointed ahead. There were densely packed tents on the outskirts of Paganis, that is, on the bank of the Rhone River. The elderly, women and children gathered there, far away from the river bank. The tent area is very large, and there are many temporary and simple wooden houses nearby. The farmhouses next to the farmland are already crowded with people.

"Go over and have a look."

Tang En led the team towards the tent area.

"Here they come! Reinforcements are finally here!"

As soon as they approached the tent area, people suddenly cheered when they noticed it, and then a fat man in rich clothes hurried over and shouted: "Are those in front of us reinforcements sent by Preston?"

As soon as the fat man finished shouting, his eyes glanced at Egwen and Grandia, and he felt like he was struck by lightning.

God! There is such a perfect woman in the world! ?

--No! Not a woman! They turned out to be elves! ?

"Reinforcements?"

Tang En was stunned for a moment: "No, what happened here?"

The fat man in gorgeous clothes was agitated, awakened by Tang En's words, and hurriedly looked away. His whole body became anxious: "Aren't you? Damn it, where did the messenger go? Hasn't the news reached him yet?"

Tang En and Olina looked at each other, and Tang En said: "Lord Abalon died, and the acting lord used ruthless tactics to force all the bandits in the territory to come here. I'm afraid your messengers have suffered an accident. .”

The fat man in gorgeous clothes was shocked: "Is there still such a thing!?"

"You can tell us what happened here, maybe we can solve it."

"you?"

The fat man in rich clothes glanced at the heavily armed Ellington Guards. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and said, "I can only give it a try."

After that, he introduced himself: "I am Gust Summerfield, the lord of Paganis."

"I'm Tang En."

"Tang En...Tang En!?"

Gust took a closer look at Olina next to him and was suddenly shocked: "Her Majesty the Queen!?"

Olina nodded: "It's me."

Gust immediately knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "Great! If it is His Majesty Tang En, we will definitely be saved!"

Now Tang En's power has been known to many people.

Tang En went straight to the main point: "First tell me what happened."

Gust dared not hesitate and immediately explained the cause and effect in detail.

It turns out that in recent times, many monsters that have never been seen before have appeared in the Rhone River. These monsters living in the water are extremely powerful, invulnerable and very scary. From the moment they appear, they attack the Rhone crazily. Many transport ships on the Er River have been sunk by them, and many businessmen have lost their fortunes as a result.

However, it was lucky to lose everything. More people were dragged directly into the river and became food for monsters.

monster?

Tang En frowned slightly: "Please describe what the monster looks like."

"Your Majesty, please come with me."

Ghost's face was solemn and he led the way.

Tang En asked the large army to stay and followed Ghost to a granary with only a few confidants. The granary had been emptied and was obviously temporarily requisitioned by the city lord.

As soon as he entered the granary, Tang En smelled a pungent fishy smell.

"Your Majesty, please look, that is the monster that attacked us."

Gust pointed at a corpse in the center of the granary and said sadly and angrily: "Those monsters are simply lunatics. After their members died in battle, they were directly dismembered by their companions. It is too difficult to snatch this corpse. We sacrificed twenty soldiers in exchange for this corpse!"

Tang En isolated the surrounding air and carefully observed the corpse.

The monsters are about three meters in size, more than twice the size of normal humans. They have complete limbs and very developed muscles. In addition, their fingers are very sharp, and there are thin webs between the fingers. They should be living things. Characteristics preserved in water.

The monster's head is like a fish, with gills under its cheeks, fins on its back, and its body covered with a layer of fine gray scales, all of which are typical features of aquatic creatures.

The sharp spear next to it was its weapon, emitting a cold light in the air.

This is actually a fine-grade spear.

When he saw this corpse, Tang En was stunned on the spot.

He was lying in a big trough. Although the color of his scales was a bit off, he was clearly the raging murloc in the sea of ​​​​the abyss!

Why did they come to Paganis! ?
