Chapter 445: I can help you save some time
Robb had already seen what she was doing, but he pretended not to see it. He took out a fishing rod and threw it directly into the river without putting any bait. Then he began to fish leisurely. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Madeleine walking slowly from hundreds of meters away to the gate of the yard, as if she was taking a walk.
Then she greeted, "Hello, are you Godfather from Westwind Town?"
Robb put down the fishing rod and turned around. "Don't pretend that you don't know me. You already saw me on the phone through the crystal ball."
Madeleine said, "the picture in the crystal ball was a little distorted. It's normal that I can't recognize you from it."
What the fish eye camera saw was indeed a little distorted, but it was not enough to not recognize the person. Robb knew that she was talking nonsense, but he did not point it out. "Duke Madeleine, you are the head of the royal knights of the kingdom of Gran. You did not help the queen fight in Bright Road. Why did you come to my Westwind Town?"
Madeleine was not a coward at all. She raised her head and replied, "the war with Mondra has come to a seesaw battle again, and we have a small advantage. At present, the spearhead has already counterattacked, and is slowly retracting the lost land of the East, heading straight for the lair of Mondra."
Robb said, "Oh, is this the reason why you come out for a walk?"
Madeleine said, "I'm not going out for a walk. Recently, the Black Pine Mountain has been frequently attacked by monsters, and several villages have been attacked by monsters. Weve suffered great losses. Even the important border area of the Crystal Canyon has found the traces of monsters that are about to move. Under the order of the queen, I led five thousand soldiers to Crystal Canyon to consolidate the border. If we want to go to Crystal Canyon, we have to pass through Westwind Town. I just happened to pass by here."
"Oh? Did Crystal Canyon also get attacked?"
Crystal Canyon was an important barrier at the junction of the desert kingdom and East Gran. Since it was attacked by the desert kingdom last time, the queen had paid more attention to it and sent a heavy army to consolidate the border. Not long ago, a small number of monsters were discovered in Crystal Canyon.
Of course, the garrison would not just watch the monsters stroll around. They decisively launched an attack and fought with them. Then they were surprised to find that the monsters were not ordinary small monsters, and that there were enemy reinforcements continuously coming behind them. Outside the Crystal Canyon, there was a big army of monsters.
"No, that's not the case," Madeleine said. "I'm not in a hurry.... There's plenty of time."
"Well, don't be so stubborn," Robb said with a smile. "Relax and have a good rest in Westwind Town. I have a way to save you some time on the following journey."
"What?" Madeleine asked, "how?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a long cry in the distance, "woo!"
It was the sound of the train, reminding the townsmen not to stay on the railway. The townsmen of Westwind Town had already seen the big train. As soon as they heard the sound, they knew that a huge monster was going to enter the town, and of course they would not run to the railway again.
Then, Madeleine heard a strange sound. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Soon, a huge train head appeared in front of her
Last time when Robb showed the queen and ministers the big train with crystal ball, Madeleine went to the battlefield outside the city and did not watch it together. Therefore, she only heard of it, but she had never seen it before. This was the first time she saw the train. She saw its huge body dragging ten carriages. It drove to the train station opposite the chapel and stopped steadily.
Then, many people jumped out of the ten carriage, all dressed in mud and dust. As soon as they jumped off the train, they shouted at Robb, "Godfather! We have repaired it. The iron track from here to Stone Canyon is open. Yeah!"
The workers threw their hats into the sky and danced happily, as if they were on holiday.
Hearing the news, Robb was also very happy. He subconsciously turned back to Godfather and laughed loudly, "well done, extra bonus of one gold coin for each person."
"Oh, yeah!" the workers got even happier.
