Chapter 729: The Agreement of the Three Leaders

“They probably all use gold coins as currency.” The image of the centaur market in Devitt’s mind was always shrouded in a layer of fog.

“Is that so?” Abel thought of the young boss of the rice shop and felt a little strange.

Abel kept the glowing magical artifact in his arms. The previous plan was canceled, and the scouts moved forward for another three hours or so.

“We still haven’t made it to the flat land as we had planned.” Finally, it was time to rest. Abel sat on his suitcase and panted.

Devitt smiled. “We’ll set off a little earlier tomorrow. We should be able to reach there before noon.”

It was not easy to find a suitable place for dozens of people to sleep in the woods. Everyone spread out in small groups and searched for about twenty minutes before they found a suitable open s.p.a.ce.

Claremont laboriously cut off the green plants around the tent with his weapons.

From time to time, he would find one or two snakes darting past. Claremont paid attention to this aspect. When he returned to the tent, he instructed the logistics staff to sprinkle a circle of lime outside the camp.

Dinner time. The preparation for dinner today was also quite good.

It was estimated that the logistics soldiers in the military camp had suffered quite a bit a while ago. Now, they were looking for an opportunity to make up for the missing days.

“After completing this mission, what are your plans?” Claremont asked Devitt and Abel beside him.

“Return to the military camp and continue to serve a soldier,” Devitt said without hesitation.

“Me too.” Abel nodded.

“Of course I know. I mean when you’re on vacation.” Claremont looked at the two of them helplessly and explained.

The importance of this mission was well known to everyone involved. Although they didn’t send many people, as long as they could successfully complete the mission, the soldiers partic.i.p.ating in the mission would definitely receive rewards personally given by the Lords of the various countries. Vacations were naturally not a problem.

Ever since they came down from the mountain, the reconnaissance team had been going smoothly. This made Claremont unable to resist fantasizing about the future in his leisure time.

However, Devitt’s interest was still lacking. “I haven’t really thought about it. I think I will stay at home and rest.”

“What about you Abel?” Claremont asked Abel.

“I haven’t had much of a vacation. If I have enough time, I would like to go to your country and take a look,” Abel replied after thinking for a while.

“Really?” Claremont was overjoyed.

Devitt was also a little surprised. “You’re welcome to come to Drondheim anytime.”

“Yes.” Abel nodded with a smile.

After a moment of joy, Claremont thought of something and said with a sad face, “But it will take a month from Drondheim to reach the capital of the Elf Kingdom. There wouldn’t be any vacation that can last that long.”

“That’s true.” Devitt and Abel both nodded after they came back to their senses.

“Abel, why do you want to come to Caradia?” Claremont asked.

“After coming into contact with you for the past few months, the idea of the human race in my mind has been subverted. Therefore, after the mission is over, I hope to see you and see your country again,” Abel replied seriously.

Claremont and Devitt looked at each other. They were so touched that they didn’t know what to say. Finally, Devitt broke the silence and said, “After we return to the familiar land, let’s find some time to meet in c.u.mberland. Although I don’t know how long you can stay away from your team, Abel, we still often have the opportunity to go there on business.”

“Oh? Good! In the future, as long as you come to c.u.mberland, I will come and pick you up,” Abel said happily.

“It’s a deal,” Claremont said with a smile.

Beside the bonfire outside the tent, a few Caradia soldiers were roasting their cotton clothes above the fire.

“I feel that the clothes are getting heavier and heavier,” Austin said helplessly. He then used his finger to gently press on the cotton clothes, but the furrow caused by the pressing did not recover after a long time. It had really absorbed too much water.

Austin sighed.

“Will this roasting really work?” A soldier sitting next to him asked suspiciously.

“I feel that the damp smell is getting stronger,” a soldier leaned closer to the cotton-padded clothes and sniffed before continuing.

“Hey, stay away from the fire. Be careful that sparks don’t rise and burn a hole in the clothes you’re wearing,” Austin shouted. “Isn’t this the only way now?”

“I don’t think roasting it for a while will be of much use. I’ll leave now.” One of the soldiers couldn’t wait any longer. He picked up his clothes and was about to turn around and leave.

At this time, an elf soldier pa.s.sed by and asked curiously, “What are you doing?”

“The moisture has gone into the clothes. The moisture is too heavy. We’re trying to dry it,”Austin replied.

The Elven soldier looked at the drifting flames, shook his head, and sighed. “What you guys are doing now, when the sun comes up, your clothes probably won’t be dry at all.”

“Why?” A soldier followed up with a question.

“At least in my opinion, the fire has no effect on the clothes,” the elven soldier replied.

A surge of spiritual energy gathered in his eyes, allowing him to see through the elemental movement around the fire.

“Then… can you help us?” Austin could already tell that this elven soldier was a fire mage. He asked hesitantly.

“It’s impossible. You want me to use magic to roast your cotton-padded clothes for you?”As expected, the elven soldier immediately rejected it.

He had already been tired after a long day on the road, and now he had to use magic to do such a meaningless thing. It was really not what he had expected. At this time, the elven soldier only wanted to return to his tent to rest.

When he was about to leave, Austin urged him to stay. “As long as you help me with this, I will agree to whatever you want in the future.”

The elven soldier stopped walking and turned around. “Really?”

“Really.” Austin nodded earnestly. He had already sneezed a few times on the road today.

“So, you’re the only one who needs my help?” The elven soldier said with a smile.

“Me, Me, me!”The surrounding soldiers raised their hands enthusiastically.

“There are so many people.” The elven soldier put on a thoughtful look. After a while, he nodded and said, “Sure, but your conditions have to be the same as his.” The elven soldier raised his hand and pointed at Austin.

“Sure!” Everyone immediately agreed.

In the end, the fire mage invited a water elf as ‘external aid’. The two of them were in the camp, surrounded by a group of Caradia soldiers. They worked until late at night, drying everyone’s cotton clothes properly.

Chapter 308: Malevolent Intent from the Eyes

After marching for three days, Kant arrived at the central posthouse.

This was because the 1,000 Swadian Footmen had slowed down the speed of the march.

If they were to advance in cavalry-style, they would be able to reach the vicinity of the central posthouse in a day and a half. There was no need for them to forcefully suppress the speed of the march and advance together with the footmen.

Even so, their speed could still be considered fast.

The footmen trudged at a constant speed.

Apart from resting time, they were all marching.

After walking for three days on two legs, they finally arrived at the desert plains where the central posthouse was located.

At the center of the desert plains, beside the central posthouse, there was a group of troops camping there. Behind them, there were supply convoys coming and going, looking very lively.

Obviously, that was the troop at the Stone Pa.s.s.

“Get ready.”

Kant said in a deep voice.

Behind him, the messengers pa.s.sed the order to the troops.

However, the troops at the back did not advance directly. Instead, under the command of their respective captain, they quickly spread out from the long snake troop formation. They moved quickly, and the entire troop spread out horizontally.

This was their battle formation!

In the middle, the Swadian Heavy Cavalry troop was the main force.

On both sides, there were two armies formed by light footmen. There were 500 people in one unit. They formed three rows in a dense ma.s.s and slowly stood still.

The light footmen were indeed the main resistance line.

However, Kant did not need them to completely stabilize the front line.

Because right behind him, there were 50 extraordinary knights and 200 top-tier knights. When they launched a frontal a.s.sault, the troops formed by the group of mercenaries below could not withstand it at all!

Those mercenaries discovered Kant’s headquarters at the top of the dune.

The scale of 1,000 people was shocking enough.

They had already occupied the entire top of the dune.

Especially those knights who were equipped with heavy armor and horses. As the sunlight shone on them, even if they were wearing linen burqas, they could still feel the oppressive aura.

Lances that were nearly five meters long were erected. They were the lance that was unique to the Kingdom of Swadia. They were as thick as a fist!

They were the lances that could pierce through the armor of several people!

Kant led his troops and stood at the top of the dune. The troops formed by the mercenaries below were already terrified. They rolled and crawled out of their tents. Even the formation they formed was very messy.

They were all veterans on the battlefield. They were all mercenaries by profession.

They could a.n.a.lyze the situation.

Or rather, they knew what kind of troops they should not provoke.

For example, at the top of the dune, Kant’s troops with heavy cavalry as the center and footmen on both sides were the type that should not be provoked. They were the type that should not be provoked!

On the dune, there were a total of 200 + elite heavy cavalries. It was estimated that one round of attack would be enough to wipe them out!

These mercenaries did not have many cavalry soldiers.

Even if there were only 200 or so cavalry soldiers, they were all light cavalry soldiers wearing iron-scale armor. They were more or less used for scouting.

Confronting the heavy cavalry soldiers who wanted to fight head-on and charge straight at them?

Don’t joke around!

Facing 200 heavy cavalry soldiers, unless there were 500 of the most elite lance footmen equipped with heavy armors who dared to sacrifice themselves could stand a chance. Even so, the terrifying inertia brought by charging of the heavy cavalries, it could smash into the depths of the crowd like a giant rock thrown by a trebuchet even if their warhorse died in battle. It was estimated that 50 heavy cavalry soldiers would be able to smash through the phalanx of lance soldiers.

Right now, these mercenaries did have lance soldiers, but they were not heavy armored, nor did they have elite footmen soldiers, nor did they have soldiers who dared to sacrifice themselves to block the charge of the heavy cavalry.

There were only a group of greedy mercenaries who were greedy for money!

They would even give up their lives for money.

However, in order to earn more money, they would not throw their lives on the battlefield of their employers!

In fact, in order to earn money, if the enemy offered a high enough price, they would turn against their employer on the battlefield!

Mercenaries were extremely infamous of their unethical behaviour!

This group of mercenaries had almost a hundred thoughts running through their minds. With the great silver coins that they had already obtained in their arms, the mail armor and iron-scale armor that were distributed at the Stone Pa.s.s, as well as the various weapons in their hands, they had already prepared to run away if the situation did not go well.

Even those mercenary group leaders who had been drinking and chatting with Baron Dylan and pretending to be heroic had this plan.

No one was a fool who wanted to die.

The situation had changed.

They were indeed did not like the Rolf who had threatened them at the posthouse.

But now, they found that Rolf, this guy even dared to slap the table in front of Baron Dylan. He was arrogant enough to say that he would at most start a war. He really had confidence.

Now, Rolf’s confidence had come, but their confidence had disappeared.

Completely disappeared.

When Baron Dylan walked out of the posthouse, his breathing could not help but quicken.

At the top of the dune, there were hundreds of heavy cavalries, which was very intimidating. Moreover, the fully armed soldiers on the left and right sides, who were wearing nail-studded armor and holding spatha sword and heater s.h.i.+eld, were the main force of the footmen.

Compared to the messy group of mercenaries below, both their equipment and discipline were completely destroyed!

“Hahahaha!”

Rolf’s arrogant laughter could not be stopped.

He walked forward quickly. Next to him, the elite desert bandit brought his warhorse. Rolf jumped onto the warhorse nimbly. However, he asked Baron Dylan in a reserved manner, “Do you want to go and welcome Lord Kant together?”

“Heh, no need. I’ll just wait here for Little Kant to come.”, Baron Dylan replied coldly.

“Please wait a moment.”

The answer was still Rolf’s arrogant laughter.

“Humph!”, Baron Dylan snorted.

Seeing Rolf leading his team to the dune to welcome them, his face became even more gloomy. He turned to look at the va.s.sal knights behind him. After hesitating for a moment, he came to the side of the two unfamiliar knights, he asked in a low voice, “The situation is already very disadvantageous for us. If… No, we start a war with Kant, we will definitely be in a weak position. After all, their troops look very good.”

“Yes, what you said makes sense.”, the two unfamiliar knights nodded. They looked arrogant, but they did not put Baron Dylan in their eyes. They waved their hands like real generals. “You negotiate with him first and find out about Kant’s situation.”

“Yes.”, Baron Dylan nodded. However, when he lowered his head, his eyes were filled with hatred.

He accepted the support from the forces of the East County.

It also represented the forces of East County began to infiltrate his forces.

Baron Dylan, who had already lost his ability to control himself, lost the ability to fight against the forces of the East County when one of his loyal grand knights was killed.

He raised his head and looked at Kant and the huge army that were approaching.

Baron Dylan’s eyes sparkled.

The forces of the East County were huge. In fact, they did not need him to join them. It was just that the geographical location of the Stone Pa.s.s was too good. It happened to be at the mountain pa.s.s of the Senwaya Range and was located at the center of the table salt trade.

If the situation were set, he, the Baron of the Stone Pa.s.s, would probably be transferred away even if he was lucky.

If he were unlucky, he would probably mysteriously disappear.

Those high-ranking n.o.bles who ate people without spitting out their bones had always played this way.

However, he still chose to endure it for now. He walked towards his mercenary corps with these two unfamiliar grand knights and his va.s.sal knights.

Looking at those va.s.sal knights licking their faces to flatter him, Baron Dylan felt disgusted.

“Lord Dylan.”

Beside him, the va.s.sal knight who had been with him for a long time said softly, “Now, these guys from the East County are crossing the line. I think it won’t be long before Lord Dylan, your authority will…”

“Shut up!” Baron Dylan glared at him fiercely.

He turned his head, but no one noticed them, then, he reminded him softly again, “Now, we still have to rely on them. Don’t make any mistakes. If we lose them, we probably won’t be able to stay at the Stone Pa.s.s. If you don’t want to be a wandering knight who need to work tons of labor like you used to be, then shut up properly.”

This va.s.sal knight was a good companion of Baron Dylan. Like the va.s.sal knight who either died or was captured by 600 knight attendants, they were all elite cavalries brought by Princess Sofia in the Silver Platter Kingdom.

That was why the three of them were able to stand shoulder to shoulder, as close as brothers.

However, when Baron Dylan became the lord of the Stone Pa.s.s, they had more things to consider, and the distance between them also became much more distant.

The va.s.sal knight shut his mouth.

However, his face still had a look of indignation.

Looking at those knights who licked their faces and flattered him, he gritted his teeth and cursed, “These d.a.m.n fellows. When they were wandering knight, it was you, Lord Dylan, who took them in. Now, they just turned their heads and forgot about it!”

“I told you to shut your mouth.”

Baron Dylan snorted coldly.

However, there was a hint of gloominess between his brows. His footsteps paused slightly. He turned his head to the most trusted va.s.sal knight, and a hint of malevolence appeared in his eyes, but it quickly faded away. “I have a mission for you.”

“Go ahead.”, the va.s.sal knight nodded.

“I need you to create some accidents… for example… like this…”, Baron Dylan instructed him softly. A malevolence intent flashed in his eyes. “Do you understand?”

“But this… I will end up…”, the va.s.sal knight sucked in a breath of cold air.

“Don’t worry.”

Baron Dylan patted his shoulder. “I will protect you.”. Baron Dylan paused for a moment and looked into his eyes, he said solemnly, “The three of us have come through the most difficult times. Now, only the two of us are left. If I cannot rely on you and cannot protect you, what friends do I have?”

The va.s.sal knight hesitated, but looking at Baron Dylan’s determined eyes, he nodded affirmatively. “I know!”

“Okay!”

Baron Dylan patted his shoulder.

Both of them looked at Kant, their eyes filled with malevolence and viciousness.
