Wright left Dragonfall Castle under the arrangement of his parents, and he was escorted by the team his father had been with, the Stone Mercenary Group.

It is said to be a mercenary group. In fact, the entire team did not have more than 20 people at its peak, and now there are only 6 people left. This small size is generally called a mercenary team, but contrary to the sparse number of people, the team members are diverse.

They are all elite:

The leader of the group is Dushi Qiaosen, a seventh-level warrior who is good at heavy guns;

Guda, a woman who is more masculine than a man;

A scout who knows a little bit of dark magic, Leonard, a fifth-level warrior;

A fifth-level warrior-level archer and beautiful elder sister Gabriella;

There is also "Silent Jack" who is taciturn, or rather plays the role of a coachman without saying a word. He was in the Monolith Mercenary Group earlier than Wright's father Andy.

The reason why this mercenary group was hired was naturally because his father Andy had worked with him before, and the friendship between them was extremely deep, which made Jushi feel more at ease when sending Wright to the imperial capital. Secondly, Viscount Cape also very much hoped to take over Andy's job.

He recruited the Great Stone Mercenary Group through his connections. Although there are few people, the high-end force of the Great Stone Mercenary Group is comparable to that of half of Fallen Dragon Castle. In terms of connections, some of the old members of the mercenary group are now serving as mid-level officers in the army.

Yes, if you can recruit subordinates, I'm afraid you can get the title of earl and return to the ranks of the great nobles after a lot of work!

The Giant Stone Mercenary Group doesn't take this seriously. They are willing to recruit individual members. After all, serving as a guard for a noble is safer than being a mercenary. But recruiting the entire Giant Stone Mercenary Group? An Imperial Viscount, a country boy.

The lords were not yet qualified. In contrast, Wright's talent and his status as the adopted son of old friend Andy attracted more attention from them. They took good care of Wright along the way.

Falling Dragon Fort is located in the northernmost province of the entire Pu'ang Empire. The only big city further north is Blue Castle, and the imperial capital of the Pu'ang Empire is in the central province in the south-central part of the entire empire. The Giant Stone Mercenary Group

Set off with Leite, first go southwest to the relatively barren Red Soil Province, which is famous for its red soil, and then go all the way south, passing through the Burola Province, Gesa Province and finally reaching the Central Central Province.

"The Red Earth Province is named after the red soil because the soil is gray-red. This gray-red soil is quite barren and produces very little food. However, the barren land does not mean that the Red Earth Province is poor. The Red Earth Province contains more than half of the steel in the entire empire.

Mines, there are three magic crystal mines, and the largest quarry in the empire." Leonard is a skinny middle-aged man, his weapon is a pair of sharp daggers, and he also knows a little about dark magic, but the most impressive thing is

It's a mouth that can never be shut, but Wright doesn't hate it. On the contrary, he hopes to hear more knowledge and information from this uncle's mouth to satisfy his thirst for knowledge.

Leonard was also very happy to see Wright's expression of seeking knowledge. Although he usually liked to talk and brag in the mercenary group, he was not very knowledgeable compared to others. Everyone knew what he said, and over time he became

No one liked to listen to him, but little Wright was a good listener.

"Don't look at the rags these people in Red Soil are wearing." Leonard gestured to Wright to look at some pedestrians on the road. "This is because there are no decent crops that can be used for weaving here, few livestock are raised, and there are no

It is as close to the Warcraft Mountains as the Northland Province. Basically, better clothes are shipped from other provinces, and the price is several times higher. In terms of worth, as long as you are not disabled or weak, go to the quarry or iron mining area

Although being a miner is hard and tiring, except for slaves, even the most ordinary residents can easily earn about thirty gold coins every year. But the same thing, regardless of how much gold coins they earn, but the consumption of the Red Earth Province

It is also extremely high, second only to the central and southeastern provinces.”

Wright thought a little as he listened. His father only earned four to five hundred gold coins every year, while ordinary civilians in Fallen Dragon Castle might only earn a dozen gold coins. But looking at the clothes and food, they were no more economical than those in Red Earth.

Ordinary civilians are worse.

The Giant Stone Mercenary Group took Wright all the way south, handed over a few gold coins, and followed the Red Earth Province to follow the caravans transporting iron ore and other items, all the way to the south, because most of the caravans on this trade road transported iron and stone.

Items that are large in quantity but low in unit price. Therefore, the caravan traveling south was uneventful and there were no robbers to plunder it.

When he arrived in the Province of Brora, Wright also felt the heat for the first time in his life. According to Uncle Johnson, the Province of Brora, although it is no longer the "Northland" in the entire empire, it still belongs to the "Northland".

The cold northern region! In the imperial capital further south, not only is the temperature higher, but the climate is also humid, breeding various mosquitoes.

"But in the eyes of the people in the southern imperial capital, I'm afraid the cold in the north is even worse." Thinking about what Qiao Sen said with a smile, Wright had a headache. It seems that warrior training cannot be left behind. Maybe a warrior with a higher level and stronger strength can

Better to tolerate the heat, probably.

During the few days of repair, the enthusiastic Gabriella also came to Guda and Wright to go shopping. Although Wright was not very willing and would rather spend more time meditating and practicing, he could not withstand the strength of Gabriella's fifth-level warrior and was forced to

Wearing several sets of clothes, all of which were traditional clothes from the Brora province in bright colors, Wright felt like a tropical fish out of water - wait, what is a tropical fish?!

A few days later, the repaired Boulder Mercenary Group contacted the caravan that continued to the south. It was formed by a medium-sized chamber of commerce called the Obik Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the Obik Chamber of Commerce's own personnel and goods, there were also most of the personnel.

They are all ordinary merchants and their guards.

Unlike the Red Earth Province, although the Red Earth Province is prosperous, the caravans transporting bulky goods are rare, and there are few robbers - it is very difficult to sell stolen goods, but from the province of Brora to the Province of Gesa, there are no robbers on the road

But there are a lot of them.

The caravan was indeed attacked by bandits one after another along the way. Some bandits did not directly fight with the guard mercenaries, but relied on their speed to directly snatch the property and then retreat quickly. If they were blocked by the guards, they would not get entangled and just ran away. Such bandits

Generally, they are reluctant to hurt people, because once they seriously injure an important person, or a very popular mercenary guard, they are likely to be bitten by the guards, otherwise no one will hunt them down if there is no big loss.

Some bandits are powerful but do not have a strong will to attack. They extort a fee and then leave. Obviously, as long as the extortion is not much, the caravan guards are not willing to risk their lives to fight. The same is true for the bandits.

You can make a small profit without any damage, and you won't take the initiative to attack.

The third category is the most threatening. Either the bandit gang intends to break up, or the newly formed bandit group wants to establish its power, and will often be driven by the bandit leader to engage in brutal fights with caravans.

Wright and his party were not very lucky. They were attacked by bandits on the third day after entering the Brora Province. Not only the mercenary guards of the caravan, but also the merchants took up arms to fight. Men who can do business over long distances

More or less, they have all been trained as warriors. And Wright also took a dagger from Gabriella---the strength of a first-level warrior is much worse than that of most mercenary guards, but when it comes to businessmen, etc.

Among the protected employers, they were actually not too weak. Gabriella protected Wright and hid in the rear, while several other members of the mercenary group and the caravan guards fought against the bandits head-on. Qiaosen, a seventh-level warrior

The spear stabbed the bandit leader directly; Leonard seemed to have disappeared at the beginning of the battle, but he was not running away, because just a minute later, several bandits holding bows and arrows at the back of the bandit gang let out feeble wails, and their throats were cut by daggers.

, struggled and fell to the ground------Second-level dark magic, invisibility---although it cannot be invisible, it can greatly reduce the sense of presence; and the silent Jack is the most amazing, a long whip

He waved it deliberately to deal with the relatively weak bandits. The warriors below level five immediately lost their combat effectiveness after being whipped, while Guda stood guarding him with a long knife.

Fortunately, the battle did not last long. After Qiao Sen and another seventh-level warrior joined forces to kill the bandit leader, the entire bandit group began to collapse.

Gabriella protected Wright and hid behind, only shooting a few arrows. Qiao Sen and others teamed up to kill the robber holding the large shield, but he was somewhat helpless. Guda was slashed by the robber, but fortunately he reacted in time to avoid the critical point.

, the injury was not too serious, and several other people were unscathed.

But not all mercenary guards were so lucky. Although the battle did not last long, nearly a quarter of the mercenaries were injured, and five or six of them were seriously injured. Fortunately, there was a young magician of the light system among the mercenaries.

Division, treated them to avoid disability. The three mercenaries lost their lives forever. Their teammates burned their bodies and buried them, and packed up their belongings to take to their wives and children. The Chamber of Commerce

The stewards also came forward to provide some compensation in a timely manner - in fact, the compensation was not much, which was equivalent to about double the mercenary fee of these deceased people, but it could also bring a little comfort.
