The sound of horse hooves stopped outside the range of the bow and arrow.

Adam looked up and saw seven riders—four black breastplates, Tygonda styles, three silver duplex armors, Anton Vison style.

Duheng stopped the aggressive cavalry and dismounted himself and walked towards the forest area.

Walk halfway, remove the steel sword and insert it in place.

In this place, any shrub can hide from people, and the probability of ambushing is too high.

I just came to take hostages, so there was no need to add casualties.

"Where is she?"

Duheng asked.

Adam lets go.

From here, you can see someone lying on his side in the shade of a tree and resting with a blanket on his body.

"Give me a clear idea, she will survive, right?"

"Yes, think about what you said at that time. If we bring back the body, it would be that Tygonda was too tight, and it would still be counted on us."

Duheng sighed, his heart was very complicated, and continued.

"The Lord is not going to declare war on Anton Vison yet. She will be safe and well protected."

He was shocked when he was told by the lord about the deep meaning behind the arrangements, and felt guilty about Adam.

But Duheng came out of the city to track down the traces and found that the young man in front of him seemed to have seen the truth, and reversed his identity from the chess piece to the negotiating table, so he survived.

"You are scary, so I won't bless you anymore. Those brainless bandits and monsters should not hurt you."

Duheng watched the other party untied the rope, turned over the horse, and then rushed onto the path. Not long after, the tree trunk and the twig were blocked from their sight.

The sound of hooves is getting farther and occasionally bamboo shoots and birds are leaping.

Adam said nothing except for the initial question.

The hostages have been released and the prisoners are about to escape.

...

Adam had the courage and confidence to deal with the negotiations alone, so he stayed to cut off the rear.

Fortunately, Arnold is a smart person and chooses to stop when he sees it is better.

The team had asked them to go to the front in advance to make foot marks and arrangements so that they would not be followed to the direction of Matthew Village when they turned to the stronghold.

"Speaking of this, should I name the base?"

Just now, the notes actually emerged.

【Unfined Affairs: Territory Name】

[Where are they living, why are they proud, and where is the stone tablet with the remaining soul erected?]

Adam finished thinking and found that he was close to the gathering place.

He rode up the hillside, and found the mercenaries and Sean in the shrubs and small sanks.

【Team: 11】

Only tavern recruitment can be considered a follower, and Luca is always counted in the team.

Limited qualifications, a little helpless.

The strong men had unknown and hope on their faces, and they were corpses that stole from the gallows.

Treating the future, just like treating a newborn, a little uneasy and confused, the kind of helplessness is pressed down on the heart, and the right to choose the direction is handed over to this gentleman.

"Gentlemen, I must emphasize again that this is an option."

Adam pulled his horse and swept across the faces of these strong men one by one, continuing.

"If you follow me, you will live a little different life. Those habits and ideas used to be burned clean with the body.

Before taking you back to my territory, you must first explain the rules.”

He paused, waiting for them to concentrate, which was a serious topic.

“There is no luxury there, but it’s stable enough. You can put down your weapons and look forward to the harvest of each season, but survival and work will never be separated.

No one will mention your past, it is a brand new future.

All those stinging incidents that cannot be put on the table, such as theft of property, extortion, and rape of women...

If someone dares to touch it, the rope may not be inserted into his neck, but I will definitely remove his head.

How to choose, gentlemen, leave here and find a town to continue scattering?

Or, follow me?"

The mercenaries did not hesitate much and lowered their heads and stared blankly. What the ultimate time could only be a visible ending for the naked eye.

If they had a stable job at the beginning, or had a fewer land taxes, they wouldn't have encountered such gray transactions.

【Mercenary Loyalty Increases】

"Very good. You still have a lot of things to protect in the future. But now, you should protect the war horses you ride first, because this is your first private property."

[The mercenary x10 in the team is upgraded to cavalry (consuming war horse x10)]

[The rider in the team (Luka) upgraded to cavalry (consuming war horse x1)]

[Combat strength and discipline, a sufficient number of teams can support the lord's majesty.]

The top of the shrub was knocked open, and the team came out from the low-lying area, and then officially embarked on the road back to the stronghold.

Adam was thinking about the future direction: the caravan has begun to move forward, and the economy is a long process after all, and money is enough to enrich the construction of the stronghold.

The grain is also being purchased. When this group of people is experienced enough, they will go to hunt further away.

Before the snowflakes fall, consolidate the granary and wait until next year, hope will arrive at the same time as spring.

He was distracted from observing the data of the cavalry. These people were polished away by life and death, and he just restricted his discipline.

I have to say that they are much better than those refugees, and they are somewhat outstanding in the gray area.

If the stronghold is named, the cavalry will probably be able to add their belongings, just like [Tegonda] and [Antonvison].

This is the spark, which can make the team stronger.

Then we recruit and expand, constantly add firewood and stoves, and slowly consolidate the base.

Adam clenched his fists with his leather gloves and felt the existence of the Lord's Ring - this thing I didn't know enough.

He inadvertently exhaled the turbid air, and the running was a little tired.

Jane suddenly appeared in his mind.

This does not stem from some evil thought, but when you are covered in blood, you will unconsciously yearn for clean things.

A glance from a distance gives a gap in the mental stress a slow effusion.

"Um?"

Adam stopped again.

There is a blue "?" on the map, not far away, somewhere on the roadside.

[An accident never notified in advance may be a tragedy, a gift, or a clue.]

They walked down the slope one by one along the ruts and blood.

There seemed to be some kind of fierce battle here, and some terrifying monsters had launched an attack here.

The rolling marks extend from the avenue to the slope and eventually stop at the bank of the stream.

Adam had seen the carriage capsized to the ground, a sturdy and huge cargo box that required at least two horses and four merchants to transport.

The broken branches are brand new, and blood is splashing everywhere near the stones.

In addition to the corpses, there are also many blue-skinned creatures rummaging around, as if they are competing for some residual limbs.

【Water Ghost x6】

Adam paced through the shadow of the woods to the sun, and the sound of steel swords leaving the sheath sounded behind him.

The water ghosts have blue skin and green, and the fish is white near their navels, and the scarlet redness of fresh meat is mixed with - from beginning to end, exuding danger.

They raised their heads, and the minced flesh slid from the corners of their mouths, their eyes protruded outward, but they tilted their heads to look for directions in the air.

The monster rushed up excitedly, rushing towards it like a scramble toys.

However, the steel sword slashed down on them, and stormy attacks fell one after another.

Who is the prey and who is the meal on the plate?
