This is the real game world, real, but also includes the game. With one click, you will become a living person from a swordsman to an archer. You don’t need training at all and you will have all the experience and skills of archers.

Of course, it also requires 50 dinar upgrade fees, which is fifty less than the cost of directly recruiting third-level imperial shooters.

After killing the Syndicate Horse Bandits, the next journey was very quiet. There was nothing else to be uncomfortable except that the wind was uncomfortable in the face and the sun was a little toxic.

Until he saw a small hill in the distance, he told him that Huangsha Town was about to arrive, and the town was just under that hill.

It is basically safe to get here. Robbers and horses and bandits generally do not rob too close to the town. The militia in the cart escorts also acted much more quickly, driving the mules towards the town.

As the distance got closer, the town soon came into Gu Xuan's eyes. This was a pure desert town. The earthen walls made of loess and gravel surrounded the town, about three or four meters high. It was vaguely visible that some high-rise buildings were exposed inside. There were guards wearing sand-proof cloaks patrolling on the city wall. Seeing them, they paused for a moment and continued patrolling.

They came to the town and the gate was wide open. Several guards were checking a small caravan that was about to leave the city. When the caravan left, they stepped forward and whispered to the guards without knowing what to say. They stuffed a few silver coins to the guards, and they were directly released into the caravan.

After entering the town, Gushen separated from the village convoy, of course he did not forget to receive his 100 dinar reward.

This town is not very big, but it has a large population. There are not many people on the street, but there are also many shops on the street, with white cloth shading at the door. Most of the goods below are dried raisins, dried meat, some special products in the desert, etc.

What he noticed most was that there was a not-so-large pond at the foot of the mountain. There was a circle of date palm trees around the pond, and there were strings of green and yellow dates as big as thumbs, which looked not yet mature.

Date palm trees can produce date fruit and can be eaten. They are very popular food in the desert Gobi area where food is fragile and are known as desert bread. Many times, food fragility is relied on this to overcome hunger.

In the Gobi desert area, every village and town lives on water sources. Every town must have a water source. Small water sources can only build small villages. Large water sources can build castles or towns. If Gushen wants to establish a territory in the future, he must find a water source. If there is no, he can only grab someone else's water source. This is a must.

I took my three subordinates around this small town and finally rented a small courtyard in Yashang for the time being.

As expected, he would stay near this small town called Huangsha Town for a long time, at least he would accumulate enough reputation and influence to reach the point of recommending himself to the lord.

In this real game world, it doesn’t mean that you can see it just by wanting to see the lord. At least you have to have a certain reputation and influence to see it. Just like an unknown person cannot meet a big man. When the reputation and influence are high, it is convenient no matter what you do. Even if you want to become a lord yourself, it will require a lot of influence. Gu Xuan doesn’t know exactly, but it is estimated that it will take at least a few hundred influences and reputation, which may take a long time to accumulate.

After all, he felt a toothache when he thought of extermination of a small group of robbers only giving him a little bit of influence. This little bit of gain is not enough to plug the gap between the teeth. I don’t know how long it will take to accumulate enough by suppressing such small robbers. I have to make big money.

There is a sign at the entrance of the Huangsha Town Tavern, which contains various bounty tasks. Many wandering warriors or mercenaries gathered in the tavern will receive the task here to earn bounty. Gusian settled in and took a look.

"Suppress the horse thief Syndicate, bring back the syndicate's head, and reward 500 dinars."

.........

"Damn it!"

If I had known this task, I would have cut off the head at that time. 500 yuan is not a small amount.

The bandits who can be on the bounty list are not small characters. Bandits like Syndicate are not prominent in the crowd. They rank at the bottom in terms of number of people. The main reason is that they are all cavalry, with strong single combat power and free return and travel, which is difficult to catch. Except for him and the other two horse bandits, the rest are all over fifty or sixty, with more than a hundred people. The bounty after the suppression was very generous, and the highest bounty was as high as one thousand dinars.

However, this is not the highest on the bounty list. There are two highest on it. One is to wipe out a large werewolf tribe located at the junction of the Gobi and the desert, and the other is to wipe out a robber hiding in a certain mountain.

Gnolls are the most common alien race in this Gobi Desert. They are fierce and cruel. They often attack humans in groups. Not only human villages, but even human robbers and horse bandits will attack. Once captured, the entire village will be burned.

This mission has the highest bounty. In addition to the bounty of 8,000 dinars, there are also promises from many large merchants from the Western Merchant Group of the Empire. If you buy anything under the name of the United Merchant Group, you will get a 20% discount.

As for the bounty mission of the robber hiding in this bounty mission, the bounty of only 5,000 dinars in total, but if you complete this task, you can gain the personal favor of Earl Taander. In the future, you can directly recruit third-level imperial infantry or imperial shooters in the Earl Corps.

Of course, the premise is that there are currently Imperial Infantry or Imperial Shooters available for recruitment.

You should know that the types of troops available for recruitment in villages and towns are refreshed once a month. Basically, they are all second-level imperial recruits. Only occasionally will they refresh the third-level imperial infantry or shooters. Only in big cities can they refresh the fourth-level imperial old stance, or they can be called the imperial skilled infantry and the fourth-level cavalry.

The number of recruitment generally depends on the size of the town. The number of villages that can be recruited each month is between a few and a dozen. Large villages are definitely stronger than small villages.

For example, towns like Huangsha Town usually start in twenty cities, and can reach thirty or forty cities. It seems that there are not many cities than villages. In fact, the same is true. The key is not to have many, but the quality of recruitment of troops in cities is high. The starting point is generally three-level imperial infantry or shooters. There are basically no new recruits on the city recruitment panel.

This recruitment system has nothing to do with the village, and should belong to this real game world system. If he wants to recruit soldiers in the future, he will have to have a large number of villages and towns under his leadership.

The rewards of both tasks are very generous. Gu Xuan considered it and decided to complete the task of destroying the robber's hiding place first, unlock the authority to directly recruit third-level troops, and then establish a relationship with the Great Lord. In the future, you can slowly increase the relationship through this relationship to achieve the authority to be loyal to the Great Lord.

This does not mean that he will be loyal to Count Tayander. He just prepares one way first. If he cannot build a castle by himself, it will be convenient to be loyal to the Great Lord and take another way.

Of course, the mission is only reserved now, not to do it now. Only these three soldiers can do nothing now. He dare not attack the robbers' hiding place alone. There is the gathering and disposal of bandits in this Gobi Desert. All the bandits and horses on the bounty list are basically related to it. God knows how many bandits will gather, but he rushed in alone. Even if he has a body and strength far beyond ordinary people, he may not be able to fight. If he capsizes, he will be finished.

Be more sane, kill several robber teams to accumulate a wave of troops.

First, he spent 750 dinars to recruit fifteen new recruits in Huangsha Town, and together with the previous three soldiers, 18, and two were still missing to reach his current limit of command.

He is only at the first level now and can only command 20 soldiers. No matter how many of them are, he will run away soon after forcing him to take him.

It sounds unreasonable, but there is no way to do this.

Then I went to the shop to buy three packs of grain, plus the remaining two packs in total five packs, which is temporarily enough for 19 people to eat for a while.

I went to the horse market and sold two desert horses, each priced at 150 dinars, which was quite high.

Being ready, Guxuan went to the pub bounty wall to uncover one of the bounty tasks - to wipe out the bandits and poisonous snakes, a team of robbers with a size of about fifty people.

I found the foreman Chris not far away. The task was released by this big businessman because the poisonous snake stole a large number of goods.

After asking for the foreman Chris to confirm the task and asked for some information about the venomous snake, including his frequent areas and habits, Gossian rode the desert horse he left out of the town, gathered with the team outside the town, and walked south along the main road.

Riding on the horse, the light curtain in front of Gu Xuan popped up, and there was a task on it, which was the task I just received.

For bounty tasks like this, you must find the task publisher to confirm. In addition to asking for the task information, it is mainly to prevent the task publisher from regretting it. You should know that this is a real game world. The people in it may be living people with all kinds of personalities. Capitalists have always been dirty and have no conscience. If you have contracts, you like to take advantage of loopholes, let alone anything else.

So he must confirm before he can do the task, with reasonable evidence, and is not afraid of the foreman Chris repent.

According to foreman Chris, the group of robbers who should go to hell often wander around the greystone forest. You may find traces of them left behind, or you may encounter them.

The grey stone forest is a weathered stone forest, full of weathered stone pillars, dry and barren, but this road is an important transportation route, and many caravans have to pass here, which attracts many robbers to wander around this area for opportunities to rob.

Gu Xuan didn't look for him all over the world, so it wouldn't be too troublesome. When the robber saw him, a team that was coming to suppress the bandits, he would never show up, even if he was better than him.

The robbers are not fools. Their purpose is to rob. They are not interested in fighting against a team like him, unless they have a grudge against each other.

But it's a pity that they don't have a grudge yet, so they have to change their approach.

It was very simple. He first waited on the side of the road, for about an hour, and saw dust rising in front of him from afar. After a while, a caravan came over.

The caravan consists of eight carriages and a small team of caravans with about a dozen people. When he saw the Gusian team guarding the roadside, he suddenly became nervous and his speed slowed down and he tended to stop.

Gu Xuan asked his subordinates to wait and rode forward alone. His actions made the caravan feel relieved. It was basically not a robber to dare to come alone.

A caravan leader who looked at the exquisite long gown under the sandproof cloak walked up and said from afar:

"Please tell me what you are trying to do."

Gu Xuan pulled the horse and stopped and replied:

"I am a mercenary. I have a great idea. I wonder if you want to listen?"

The caravan leader looked at the dozen soldiers behind him, nodded, and Gu Xuan said:

"I can escort you through this greystone forest and drive you away the possible robbers during this time, and you can get the protection of me and my warriors by simply paying a tiny 150 dinar after leaving the greystone forest. What do you think of this idea?"

The leader of the caravan pinched his chin and thought for a while, nodded:

"What's your name? Your idea is very good, I agree."

"You can call me Gu, I believe you will hear my daimyo in a short while."

"Hopefully I can hear it!"

The leader of the caravan nodded and turned back to his caravan. Gu Xuan also waved his hand to greet his subordinates, lined up in two lines to follow the caravan, and guarded the caravan one on the left and right.

The grey stone forest is very large, and it usually takes about two days to walk through the caravan. Sometimes the team is too large or it can take three or even four days to carry heavy objects, which gives the robbers and horse thieves the opportunity to prepare fully.

The caravan that Gu Xuan Shundao is not large in size, even if he doesn't have many people, he dare not provoke small robbers, but some large robber teams still dare to provoke them. The gang's venomous snake team is larger than them. If a few small robbers are added, it is normal that they may be very likely to eat their team.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the poisonous snake is near the greystone forest. The foreman Chris gave the message that the poisonous snake often mingles in this area, but it does not mean that it is there every day, and he is not sure that he will definitely encounter it.

The caravan quickly entered the grey stone forest area, just like entering a gray forest. At first glance, there were gray stone pillars of varying sizes and heights everywhere. This terrain is most suitable for robbers to rob. Even if hundreds of people hide behind the stone pillars, no one can find it.

Not long after entering the stone forest, Gu Xuan keenly noticed a peeping gaze. He remained silent and didn't even look at him. If he guessed correctly, it should be the robber's scout who was looking at them, hoping that it was the scout of the poisonous snake.

Here, the leader of the caravan asked the guards to tighten the formation, and the distance between the carriages was closer to prevent the attack of the robbers. The leader himself even got into one of the carriages, probably because he was afraid of being injured by the hidden arrows, so the robbers didn't care who he was.

As the caravan moved forward, Gu Xuan had already felt four covetous gazes one after another. Someone had followed the team for a long time. He knew that the caravan should have been targeted, and a large team was preparing to eat them.
Chapter completed!
