HBWnovel Chapter 476: One Day in Iridos
Chapter 476: One Day in Iridos
Ilidos drove a truck and drove straight to the Principality of Rhodes with five tons of cargo.
Although the Holy Empire has been liberated now, there are still a large number of remnant forces who have gone up the mountain to become kings and bandits.
This has led to unrest on roads within the Holy Empire.
And robberies often occur.
Although Da Yan withdrew most of the national defense forces, it still left some of them for defense.
At the same time, a part of the militia was recruited and training began.
Train these militiamen to become experts in suppressing bandits.
These militiamen do not meet the standards of IDF soldiers, but only partially.
Their weapons and equipment are inferior to those of the Wehrmacht except for heavy firepower.
The rest are not much different.
Brand new Mauser rifles, M24 grenades and M35 helmets.
Has reached the standard of a Wehrmacht soldier.
And the training subjects are the same as those of the regular National Defense Force.
In fact, it is more accurate to say that it is training reserve soldiers rather than training militia.
Once there is a change on the front line, these militiamen in the rear can be quickly armed with advanced equipment and then directly sent to the battlefield.
And by quickly forming new troops with veterans who have experienced the war, new combat power can be quickly formed.
However, until the militia is thoroughly trained, this road will not be peaceful...
The vehicle driven by Elidos was driving carefully on the road.
Although it is called a highway, it is actually a dirt road.
The Dayan truck is sturdy and durable and can be driven on muddy roads.
But this comfort level...
After only seven days of training, Elidos became a truck driver...
Then after another day of trucking, I almost threw up my lunch…
Because the truck was bumpy all the way, Iridos almost didn't see his own breasts.
But Ilidos did not give up. This trip would earn him 20 silver coins, which could improve his family's current situation.
Maybe my mother's illness is cured by these 20 silver coins...
Not all people are happy, there is always injustice in this world.
But some people never succumb to fate.
Even though life is as bitter as a song, they never give up their yearning for beauty.
Ilidos arrived at a city and drove directly into an inn.
This type of hotel is designated by Dayan merchants and has a certain amount of gasoline and diesel reserves.
And provide certain maintenance for Dayan’s caravan vehicles.
To ensure that trucks can travel long distances.
It was already evening when we arrived at the hotel.
As soon as Elidos got off the bus, a hotel waiter came to him.
"Comrade, are you staying here tonight?"
Elidos nodded.
After driving all day and having a bumpy ride all the way, I was really sleepy.
As soon as Elidos entered the hotel, he saw other truck drivers having dinner.
Although they don't know each other, they are all transporting goods after all, and they will share what they see and learn on the road.
As soon as Elidos sat down, several drivers placed bowls in front of him.
"Brother, eat. It's been very uneasy around here lately. Did you encounter any problems? Tell us."
A middle-aged man muttered while eating.
Ilidos was stunned for a moment, then spoke.
"I came from the imperial capital. What are you talking about?"
Several men suddenly realized what was going on and then spoke up.
“A large number of bandits have appeared along the road from the Principality of Rost to the Imperial Capital. Although the local national defense forces have begun to clear them out, there are still many bandits running around.
Trucks are hijacked almost every day, and the National Defense Force has even set up checkpoints at important intersections. As long as the number of trucks passing between two checkpoints decreases, the National Defense Force will respond quickly. "
When Ilidos heard this, he instantly became nervous.
What he was worried about was not his own life, but the truckload of cargo.
In Ilidos's opinion, this truckload of cargo was more important than his life.
Seeing Ilidos like this, everyone understood that the young man in front of them must be doing this job to make a living.
Although the Holy Empire has now been liberated by Dayan.
However, at present, Dayan has not yet opened a large number of factories in the Holy Empire.
Therefore, civilians within the Holy Empire are still struggling to survive.
However, this phenomenon has been improved.
"Is it safe to go tomorrow?"
Elidos asked tentatively.
"Safe? I can't say it's safe. I can only say that your life will be saved, but I'm not sure whether the goods can be saved."
A middle-aged man said.
“Although these bandits can rob, they only dare to intercept goods and not kill people, because if they kill people, the National Defense Force will hunt them down to the ends of the earth.”
Another middle-aged man said.
"But this batch of goods must be delivered to the Principality of Rost within seven days, and it's still 1500 kilometers away..."
Elidos said somewhat sadly.
"Don't worry, kid. There will always be a way out. If you're lucky, you might run into a National Defense Force. Maybe they'll give you a ride."
A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard patted Iridos on the shoulder and spoke encouragingly.
Ilidos nodded, ate a few bites, and returned to his room absent-mindedly.
What should I do tomorrow? Can I complete this difficult task?
Elidos fell into a deep sleep, his mind full of how to deliver the goods to the Principality of Rost and then take the money back to buy medicine for his mother.
Early the next morning.
The hotel is very lively.
After breakfast, the truck drivers got in their cars and drove to their destinations.
Elidos drove the truck alone towards the Principality of Rost.
Since the Principality of Rost is located in the north, most of the prosperous areas of the Holy Empire are in the imperial capital and the southeastern region.
Many areas around the Principality of Rost are poor and backward.
This results in people from these areas traveling to various places to look for work during the slack farming season.
Along the way, Elidos could see a large number of people rushing to the hotel.
Because they want to get a job in the hotel.
This is the current situation of the Holy Empire. Under the wise and brave leadership of Edward III, the living standards of the people of the empire have dropped sharply.
If Dayan had not liberated the Holy Empire, the Holy Empire would have been overthrown by the rebels within five years.
Elidos continued to drive the truck at full speed.
Soon we arrived at a Wehrmacht checkpoint.
A half-track armored vehicle was lying across the road, with the MG42 on it aimed at the truck.
Ilidos came to the checkpoint and stopped the car.
A National Defense Force militia came to the truck, checked Elidos' vehicle information, confirmed Elidos' itinerary, and let him go.
If something happens to Ilidos, the next checkpoint will not record Ilidos's passing information.
When the information is summarized every night, we can find out that bandits have appeared on this section of the road.
Then there was a big hunt...
(Good afternoon(//?//))
