Bab 174: Virtya speaks about the steam powered vehicles for a 2nd time

"In addition, the vehicles would be much faster than the horses, not to mention that they would be much safer to ride in, because weapons like the arrows would be useless against their thick hulls. I know most of the merchants spent months or even years while traveling on the roads but what if I tell you that the time taken on the roads could be cut down by a half? What if I tell you that you can leave the robbers following you to dust? The future of carriages is the steam powered vehicles." Virtya paused as the attendees were even more agitated. They couldn't believe what Virtya was talking about.

[Is that even possible? I think king Virtya is mad. Let alone being fast but how are these vehicles going to move without the aid of the horses?]

[I am trying as much to rack my brains but I can't think of a way in which the carriages could move without the aid of the horses. It is just impossible. What will Virtya use instead of the horses? Will he use magic or what?]
