But he had just become the leader, and within a few hours, you were killed. I am already afraid of death, and I don’t want to die." Dirk said with fear and pleading.
"You should be killed." Owens took over and said, two of his companions died, all because of these pirates.
"Wouldn't it be better to sell it to slave traders?" Alleyne said.
Defeated captives can be sold to slave traders, who set prices based on the strength of the captives.
"Where did you encounter the Shadow Crow Corps?" Walls ignored Owens and Alleyne's words. He continued to interrogate because he wanted to know the approximate location of the Corps.
"South of Fort Jalber, sir, I really don't want to mention that place." Dirk replied.
Walls didn't say anything more. He already knew that. It was time to go back and rest.
"Let's go, guys, we should go back and rest, and prepare to deal with this guy tomorrow." Walls got up and headed to the camp.
When the farmers in the village saw that Walls and his gang defeated a group of pirates near the village, they helped Walls bury the two dead recruits.
Some things were given to Walls in return. For these farmers, they did not have much savings, so their reward was some food such as wheat.
Walls refused all of them and did not charge anything. However, he recruited a group of young people from the village.
This time, a total of eight recruits were willing to join their team. They either admired Walls for defeating the pirates, or, like Owens, they wanted to go out and make a living.
Regardless of the reason for these young men, there are eight new people in Walls' team anyway. They are Virginia recruits, and the leader is a young man with the best archery skills in the village.
"What's your name?" Walls asked.
"Jenks, sir," Jenks replied.
"It is said that your archery skills are the best." Walls said to this young man, who looked to be only sixteen years old.
"Yes, sir, that's what they said." Jenks said without hesitation. He wanted this gentleman to take him away, so he never missed an opportunity to show off his talents.
"Okay, then I'll let you lead this group of recruits." Walls pointed to the remaining seven Virginia recruits.
"Okay, sir." Jenks said excitedly. He was very happy that he could join Walls' team and at the same time he could command a group of people.
So, according to the rules, Walls paid ten dinars in advance to each person, and then allowed them to spend the night at his home. After that, that is, tomorrow they will go to Wocheze with Walls.
After recruiting new soldiers and solving the manpower problem, Walls felt that it was time to deal with Dirk, the pirate. According to Alleyn, it would be best to sell this pirate. Now Walls is most short of money.
He just recruited new recruits and spent 80 dinars on Walls. Now he only has a few dozen dinars on hand. Fortunately, Walls has ordinary recruits and their wages are very low.
of.
However, Owens has fought with him in several battles, and his abilities have been recognized. According to the rules, he should no longer be a recruit. He should now be a skilled light infantry, and his salary should be increased.
There is also a young man from Finrad who has also fought with Vols and should also receive a salary increase.
Moreover, the equipment he obtained from the pirates he killed was just enough to arm his own men. One of Dirk's swords was well polished, so he gave it to himself, and he also wore the chain armor on his body.
All Malik's equipment was given to Owens. In this case, he is a veritable skilled light infantry. The other Finrad came out and also received a piece of pirate equipment.
Alleyne should also get a piece of equipment, but he likes to use swords, and the pirate's one-handed ax is just placed on his body.
He holds a shield in his right hand so that he can block easily.
As for the last set of equipment left, Walls planned to keep it. These recruits should have some combat experience before giving them the equipment.
If it really doesn't work, just sell it. This chain armor can also be worth money, and it can alleviate the financial crisis first.
Finally, there is the business route. Now the Shadow Crow Corps is suppressing bandits, which is a great opportunity.
These regular troops are suppressing bandits, so these bandits must also restrain themselves. Therefore, if you follow the march route of the Fifth Corps, the chance of encountering bandits will be smaller. This is a rare opportunity in a continent where bandits are everywhere.
After figuring out the route, Walls fell into a deep sleep.
You must have enough energy tomorrow.
As the night fades, the dawn sun appears in front of everyone's eyes.
It was time to get up, and Walls, who had just woken up, saw Jenks running over like flying with his bow and arrow. It seemed that he wanted to follow Walls to have some adventures.
Behind him were seven young men, the same group of people who were willing to follow Walls yesterday. Although these people did not bring bows and arrows, they also brought their own weapons.
"Here I come, sir." Jenks said respectfully.
At this time, Russell learned well and would not speak directly with his mouth, but would say it silently in his mind to prevent Walls from knowing.
You should say, good morning, distinguished master.
[System prompt: If you don’t interrupt, everyone will know that you are the protagonist.]
"Very good, you brought the bow and arrows." Walls said, he valued this young man very much.
"Of course, sir, this is my best bow and arrow. How could I not bring it here." Jenks straightened his chest and said.
"Go and bring your people back to the team."
"Okay, boss." Jenks changed the title. He is now Walls' subordinate.
Walls nodded. Now that there are archers in the team, this can make up for the gap in long-range attacks.
After waiting for everyone to prepare their things, Walls and his group began to embark on the journey. Although the troops suffered a reduction in numbers, there was still an increase in overall numbers.
Of course, there is one more prisoner in the team, and now Walls is considering selling this prisoner to slave traders. Heikodek has killed many innocent people, so he deserves such treatment.
The group of people quickly crossed the bridge near Ismorola Fort, and now they continue to walk north. If no accidents occur, Walls can quickly reach Wocheze.
But accidents always happen, so Walls decided to go to Feilchen to hire some more recruits to increase the team to about twenty people.
Following this route, he might not encounter bandits on the road, because the Shadow Crow Corps had already suppressed bandits near Djerbo Castle, and now they would definitely be searching for bandits near Felchen.
If the Shadow Crow Corps can think the same thing as themselves, then Walls' security will be greatly improved.
Thinking of this, Walls suddenly raised his head. He saw a forest in the distance, and to the west of this forest was Felchen.
There are many valleys and rivers in the Nord Kingdom. These geographical locations are very suitable for the Nords to engage in infantry warfare. Also in the forest, it is difficult for the cavalry to take advantage of it, but the infantry can be stationed here.
But now near the forest, Walls could clearly see a flag. It was a flag with a blue background and a crow on it.
Seeing this flag, Walls felt that his inference was correct. He and his companions knew clearly who was wearing this flag.
In the Kingdom of Nord, this flag can be said to be known to everyone. It is the flag of King Ragnar, the King of the Kingdom of Nord.
The army carrying this flag is the army belonging to King Ragnar, and now everyone can instinctively think that this army is King Ragnar's Shadow Crow Corps.
Who is his leader? Everyone thought of this question unanimously.
"Ask more, they must be relatives of the emperor." The baron complained in his heart, and he looked down upon these two hundred and fifty people very much.
The leader of the Shadow Crow Corps can easily collude with bandits. Because it is a military force, King Ragnar will always hand over leadership to those he trusts.
But although these people had the trust of King Ragnar, they did not hate the bandits as much as their subordinates.
If the bandit gives money, the leader will not suppress the bandit. This behavior has happened many times.
But because the army is a group of people who hate bandits, there are always people exposing the crimes of their leaders.
Therefore, the leader of this corps is always changing. It is unknown who this time is.
Just when everyone was confused, a cavalryman suddenly appeared from the horizon, holding the flag of King Ragnar.
This shows that he is a soldier of King Ragnar.
"Hello, sir, I am a cavalry member of King Ragnar's Shadow Crow Regiment." The cavalryman said to Vols wearing a helmet.
In this team, Walls was the only one riding a horse, so the cavalry directly regarded Walls as the leader of the team.
Obviously, he guessed correctly. "Hello, what can I do for you?" Walls replied politely. He must leave a good impression on King Ragnar's soldiers.
"Our scouts discovered you, and now our regiment leader asks the leader of this team to see him. I hope you won't refuse," the cavalryman said simply.
"I understand, do you want to go now?" Walls replied carefully.
He didn't know why the leader of the legion asked to see him, but Walls believed that since the other party invited him over so politely, there would be no problem.
