Chapter 15: All the way south

Murphy returns all the way to the town.《》%

After he entered the town, he realized that the caravan he had followed had left. He was just a traveler to the caravan. Perhaps the Ice Girl would kindly give him food, but he would not wait for him deliberately. The town is well connected and belongs to the transit hub connecting all places. In addition to the road Murphy took before, there were several roads connecting the north and south ends. Therefore, the caravan had not left for a long time, about ten minutes ago. It would not be difficult for Murphy to catch up.

But he thought about it and gave up.

The purpose of his initial follower of the caravan was to find out the information about the world.

Now, he has a basic understanding of the world, and it is meaningless to continue to stay in the caravan. Besides, he already has a lot of gold coins on him. If it is just food, he basically doesn’t have to worry anymore. He now wants to understand the detailed distribution of the world’s forces as soon as possible, and then find a hidden and inconspicuous place to operate the "Total War" auxiliary system as soon as possible.

As long as the auxiliary system of "Total War" is completely activated, he will have enough foundation in this plane!

After thinking about it, Murphy went to the grocery store next to buy daily necessities, then prepared some dry food, and a wide gray cloak. His current dress is basically the same as the adventurers in this world. The difference between them and the mercenaries is that most adventurers like to go alone, and at most three or four familiar colleagues act together.

The mercenaries in this world are a little different from the mercenaries in the original plane.

That is, the mercenaries in the original plane have not yet formed a scale, and the mercenaries in this world are more similar to the mercenaries on the earth in their previous lives!

To put it simply, the top mercenaries in this plane have the highest armed forces and even own territory. They belong to one of the armed forces in this world and are no longer limited to the level of mercenaries. The Mercenary City located in the southeast is one of the mercenaries in this world. They have heavy infantry troops of more than 5,000 people, and have also formed a Free Knights!

The battlefield for a long time.

Murphy has already understood a lot of truth, that is, don’t underestimate two kinds of people.

One is the border guards. These soldiers who have been stationed on the front for a long time are much stronger than other regular troops even if they are taken out. Athens suffered considerable losses at the hands of the noble parliament. In Murphy's opinion, their combat effectiveness is even much stronger than the ace guards in the hands of the noble parliament. If the excellent equipment of the imperial guards is handed over to these border guards, I don't know how long the war will last!

Another type is mercenaries.

These people are very low, but most of them are people who are humble from humble origins and then bleed on the edge of the knife. Their fate is actually very miserable. They live a life of hard work with meager commissions, and may corpse in the wilderness at any time, or become cannon fodder for others on the battlefield. But it is precisely because of this environment that a result has emerged, that is, the polarization of the mercenary world!

One is to live in drunkenness and die in dreams and die in the morning, and there is wine today and you are drunk today.

They will spend every penny they have on before the mission, prostitutes, and spirits, which are part of their lives.

In the end, these people were basically dead.

Another type is those who are supported by beliefs. They are humble from origin and embarrassing on the path of mercenaries more for a certain belief in their hearts! Perhaps it is parents, perhaps wives and children. Love is not something that they are humble people who can pursue. Family affection and blood are their eternal motivation! Because these people are too humble from origin, they are almost nothing, and they are often such people who have nothing!

Be cruel to others and be even more cruel to yourself!

There is no equality in the world!

These mercenaries who struggled at the bottom and finally decided to fight for the future with their lives. They have a strong heart than many people, because they are almost nothing, and when they embarked on this path, they are ready to storm a wilderness one day! Perhaps many people died on this path, but those who survived have become one of the top strong people in this world!

Mercenaries, after the collapse of the empire, have become one of the important forces in this world.

Murphy entered the tavern again, and he threw out a few gold coins and signaled the red-bearded dwarf to prepare a pot of wine for him.

The red-bearded dwarf felt a little incredible about Murphy's reappearance, but after seeing the knight's sword that returned to Murphy's waist, his eyes showed irresistible shock and fear. It was obvious that the human spirit who was mingling in the tavern had understood something. Therefore, he respectfully prepared a pot of the best spirit for Murphy, and did not dare to look at the sword again.

Sometimes, the principles in the world are so simple.

Murphy picked up the wine pot and took a sip. The wine was very strong and spicy, and the degree was not necessarily low at all. It was a bit similar to whiskey.

He nodded with satisfaction and turned and left.

It was not until Murphy left the tavern that the red-bearded dwarf breathed a long sigh of sweat, and whispered in disbelief: "He actually killed that vampire viscount! Isn't he afraid of revenge of the Dark Council?"

Out of the tavern.

Murphy continued south along the previous road. His goal was to the southeast, where it was the second battlefield of this plane and a land that was still fighting against the abyss. The only descendant of the human empire era, the queen of the human kingdom, Isabella III, once issued a decree, that is, as long as anyone can recover the land there, all the recovered land will become his private fiefdom.

It is precisely because of this decree that the later Mercenary City was born!

Murphy needs a legal territory, so the fastest way at present is undoubtedly to obtain it from the battlefield.

Although he doesn't have a gold medal thug around him now.

"Tread, step, step!"

The heavy sound of horse hooves came from the road ahead. When Murphy looked up, he saw a small team of cavalry running towards here. These heavy cavalrymen were full of plate armor, and even the war horses they sat on were wearing chain mail. The bright silver equipment made Murphy feel jealous. If Athens could have such plate armor knights, then he could form a large army of heavy knights that could really rush around the battlefield. Even if they encountered the wolf warrior regiment of the Orc Empire, they would have the strength to fight!

The heavy cavalry was strikingly powerful. Even a team of only twelve people, the dust brought about when they ran was like an army of hundreds of people.

Murphy sideways and takes aside.

"Wow!" The leader of the knight suddenly tied the reins and stopped beside Murphy.

He was wearing a heavy overhead battle helmet, and Murphy couldn't see his appearance clearly, and could only see a pair of sharp eyes. The knight on the horse looked up and down at Murphy and suddenly asked, "Adventurer?"

Murphy nodded.

"I am the lord of this town, Baron Berrosa!" The knight on the horse's back looked at Murphy and said slowly: "I have a mission to hand over to you, are you interested?"

Murphy thought for a while and shook his head slowly.

He just wanted to rush to the southeast as soon as possible and did not have the idea of ​​accepting various mission commissions like other adventurers.

"Okay." The knight on the horse shook his head in disappointment, and then said, "There is a village called Yada in front of me, which is also my territory. You will pass there on the way, but recently a wandering ogre has appeared there, which has killed several lords and many animals! If you encounter it on the way, you can kill it! Just bring its horns back and you will be rewarded."

Murphy nodded and said, "If I encounter it, I will definitely help you solve it."

The leader nodded, took out a small sign from his waist with his fingers of the silver-white fish-scale arm armor, threw it to Murphy, and said in a deep voice: "You are a good warrior! Take this with you, you will save a lot of trouble on the way!"

"This is also my advance payment!"

Murphy caught the sign thrown by the Knight, which was a copper token, a pass order issued by lords from various places. Its function was a bit similar to the road guide in the previous life. As long as you bring this, you can save a lot of investigation and trouble when passing through the fortresses in various places.

The leader of the knight nodded at Murphy, then raised his whip and led the heavy cavalry toward the direction of the town.

"Sir? Why did you give him the pass order?" The town not far away had already appeared in front of you. A knight couldn't help but ask the Baron Berrosa in confusion.

"He has the residual bloody smell of the bloodsucking species." Baron Blosa looked at the knight and said in a deep voice. As a knight who grew up on the battlefield, he was too sensitive to the smell of blood.

When the knight beside him heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

……………………

"Strange! Why did he give me this pass?" Murphy looked at the direction where the team of knights left with some confusion, feeling quite puzzled.

However, he did not go into it. With this pass, he could save a lot of trouble all the way south, so he had already planned to help the baron lord solve the whereabouts of the ogre when passing by the village called Yada.

It's like I need an ID card in my previous life.

If this world wants to be unobstructed on the mainland, it also requires various identity certificates. Mercenaries and adventurers have exclusive level badges. Merchants have trade certificates issued by the chamber of commerce, and wizards also have tokens issued by their respective schools. Ordinary civilians are prohibited in this world, and under normal circumstances, they are strictly prohibited from leaving their residence for a range of 100 kilometers.

Murphy is now in the south rear of Stantolme County, which belongs to the front line in the rear.
