I slept peacefully at night.
The sound insulation effect of the carriage is actually quite good. Although there is no sound insulation circle, the materials used to build the carriage itself have certain sound insulation functions, and the interior is also more comfortable, so it is natural to sleep well.
When he got out of the carriage, the guard was already packing his things.
I looked at the weapons they were dragging and asked with some surprise: "Do the robbers also need to carry these weapons?"
These weapons cannot be called crudely made, but they are not much different from the kitchen knives made by the village blacksmith, except that they are a little longer.
"It's more or less made of iron." Wade walked over with a smile, "Save what you can. After all, it may come in handy during special times, not to mention that the carriage actually has a lot of space."
I said hello and said: "Good morning, it seems that the battle last night was not very fierce."
Walder clicked his tongue and said, "Forget it. Last night, there were people in all directions. I thought the main force was coming, but it turned out that the group of people broke into pieces when they touched the adventurers on the periphery. Our escort team went out to pick them up." Killed a man."
"There are so many people?" I rubbed my chin and said, "But they are not very strong. They are probably from the neighboring bandits."
"I guess he also has some ideas to weaken other people." Wade shook his head and said, "It's a pity that it doesn't show anything."
Although adventurers are undisciplined and have uneven levels, they are at least close to the strength of professionals. However, ordinary thieves cannot collide with such a caravan.
After all, the number of adventurers hired under normal circumstances is not too many, and now Wade has hired dozens of adventurers, which is already beyond the norm for ordinary caravans.
I walked out of the defense surrounding the carriages and saw that everyone was cleaning up outside.
"Most of the thieves' trophies should be given to the adventurers." Wade followed me and said cheerfully, "After all, they contributed the most last night, so it is natural for them to take the trophies."
This argument······
I rubbed my chin and looked at Wade.
Ward seemed a little uncomfortable under my gaze, so he coughed slightly and said: "Of course, these things are not of much use to us. It doesn't hurt to give them to them. What's more important is to have a good reputation." .”
To gain a good reputation?
"You speak quite frankly, but from what you're saying, are you still going to use them?" I thought about it, and then realized another idea of Ward's.
Wade smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, it seems very simple for me to organize an army of professionals, but in fact our reserve of professionals is not enough."
He pointed to the adventurers and said: "In fact, most professional armies rely on the training system established by the military nobles, which can select talents from lower-level knights and retainers. Attract talents among adventurers.”
He looked at me and said, "But now the reserves have been depleted by the civil war."
One of the big reasons why adventurers are allowed to exist freely is that...the wilderness is also a paradise for free training of talents.
The casualty rate is just higher, but the adventurers are obviously responsible for their own profits and losses.
The disadvantage is that it has no appeal and is difficult to lead.
"Compared with orders, what matters more in attracting adventurers is morality and credibility." Wade said slowly, "Maybe I'm a bit naked when I say these words, but don't you have to pretend like this if you want to win? "
I smiled and asked, "Then do you think a person is a hypocritical person when what he says is moral and what he does is credibility, and what he does is moral and honest. When this kind of pretense lasts throughout his life, do you think he is a hypocrite? "
"This is an interesting question, but it has nothing to do with the current results." Wade shook his head and said, "We will set off soon, and time is very tight."
After saying that, he walked towards the front of the car.
I shrugged helplessly.
There are not many times when I can tell great truths... Unfortunately, Ward doesn't seem to like this kind of behavior where one story reveals a truth.
Soon after, the carriage set off.
Within the scope of my perception, the chasing people set off in a hurry. They didn't even seem to care about the exact movement of the convoy.
This time, there were constant attacks by bandits during the day, but it still broke at the touch of a touch. The guards didn't even bother to move, but only made symbolic preparations for defense.
At night, Ward came to chat as usual, but this chat seemed to be just for building a relationship. They knew from the robbers during the day that someone had indeed instigated them to attack the caravan, and it was indeed the one who escaped. The bandit group established by the eighth-level swordsman urged them to attack.
This doesn't look like chasing a wolf to devour a tiger, it looks more like a chicken approaching a weasel's mouth...
This is far beyond the significance of spying on strength. After all, last night's attack has proved that these small-scale ordinary people, a bandit group with only one or two professionals, will not attack such a "strong" looking merchant. What kind of threat does the team pose?
Although ants can kill an elephant if there are too many, the frequency of attacks by this bandit group cannot even keep up with the number of times mosquitoes attack me at night. I am very worried about the tendency of the other side to kill people...
The most important thing is that Banzan City is close.
After Ward confirmed that the eighth-level swordsman was behind these bandit groups, he paid more attention to the planning of the journey in the past few days.
However, this was like dancing for a blind man. After doing this, the frequency of bandit groups every day also decreased. Only some small bandit groups with no eyesight were destroyed by this chariot one after another.
After he repeatedly confirmed with me that there was indeed someone following him, I even had doubts about my perception. Was it because I had some hallucination that I could sense someone was chasing me?
If I hadn't been confused about what was going on, I would have really wanted to jump directly to those human-faced people, then grab them by the collar and ask, "You are robbing us!"
Unfortunately, my space jumping skills are not perfect yet. If I want to accurately transfer many arms, legs, heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys, I may not be able to succeed. In addition, asking others to rob me is a bit abstract, so I gave up.
In such a strange atmosphere, we finally arrived at Banzan City.
Ward said that he was actually prepared that they would not attack, but he still did not expect that even the tentative attacks would only be a few symbolic ones.
However, the caravan still arrived at the city gate.
