Walking out of the forest, Ronan and others were in a state of embarrassment. The wooden armor on Ronan's body was also broken. During this period, no water source was found. After the previous water was used up, only dew could be collected for use, and bathing was not allowed at all.
Everyone was in disgrace, and there was no way to clean the bloodstains on the armor.
At this time, Ronan's army only had four skilled Rodok spearmen, four senior Nord archers, and two Vecian riders. Yes, those two senior Vecian soldiers had gone through such a long period of training.
They were upgraded after the battle, but Ronan didn't upgrade them until they got out of the forest. The reason was also because it was not convenient to ride horses in the forest.
The studded leather armor of these two Vecian riders was upgraded to chain-mail gowns with slits on both sides of the legs to protect the thighs. They wore chain-mail gloves on their hands and rode horses with breastplates on their chests.
After the long sword and shield he had at the beginning, there was also a spear and a cavalry axe, and his level had reached level 21, which was much higher than Ronan.
Ronan also received the reward from the Knight's Road mission. Suddenly, a fully armored war horse and a box containing an armored sword appeared in front of Ronan. Ronan was also blessed with the Watcher template, and his strength and endurance were increased by a little.
, the warden’s combat experience and weapon usage kept flashing through his mind.
It took a full ten minutes for Ronan to regain his composure. Ronan first put the armor and sword into his backpack, and then took off the broken wisteria wood armor with the help of his subordinates. Ronan turned over and mounted his horse.
Ronan patted the horse's head underneath him and said:
"I'll call you Carrot from now on."
Waving to his subordinates to follow, Ronan took the lead and chose a direction on horseback to start walking. Ronan and the Vecchia cavalry rode slowly, while the other soldiers were in trouble. Without horses, they could only walk.
Ronan had never ridden a horse in his previous life, but fortunately he had experience in riding as a caretaker. With the help of Ronan's level 6 riding skills, Ronan was quite comfortable riding a horse.
After walking for about an hour, Ronan finally saw a path in front of him. He was overjoyed. He couldn't wait to find a place to wash up and have a rest. He asked his subordinates to speed up their pace, found a direction along the path and started walking.
.
God bless, Ronan was looking in the right direction. After walking for about half an hour, a small town finally appeared in front of his eyes. He finally saw a human settlement. Ronan was so excited that he wanted to ride his horse and run there right away.
, but considering the movement speed of his subordinates, he restrained himself.
The small town in front is quite large, and there is a wall about three meters high around it. It is probably built because it is close to the forest to defend against aliens and beasts that escape from the forest. There are two people standing on the towers on both sides of the town gate.
Guards, wearing leather armor and holding short bows in their hands. There are also guards guarding the gate.
Seeing Ronan and others walking over, and noticing the blood stains on Ronan's armored horse and the equipment of the soldiers behind him, the guards came forward to greet them.
"Wait a minute, this is Jackdaw Town, an autonomous town belonging to the Kingdom of Holy Cross. Who are you?" The guard stretched out his hand to stop Ronan.
Ronan was already prepared for this.
"Hello, sir, we are a small mercenary group. We want to come here to see if there is any chance to make a fortune in the forest." With that said, Ronan took out two silver coins from his arms and handed them to the guard.
The guard accepted the silver coins, glanced at Ronan's team again, and got out of the way.
"Don't cause trouble when you enter the city, God will be watching you!"
"Sir, I also want to ask, where is the hotel in the town?"
"Go all the way along this road and you'll see a sign called Mare Hanging Flag."
When asked for directions, Ronan did not hesitate. He directly led his subordinates to the tavern called Mare Hanging Flag. He took off Luo Bao's vest and handed the three horses to the tavern attendant standing outside the door.
, Ronan and his men pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in.
Through the noisy crowd, Ronan walked straight to the bar, knocked on the table to attract the attention of the boss who was wiping the wine glasses, and Ronan said:
"Boss, give me 6 rooms. What food do you have here? Can you take a shower?"
"Now the only food left is bread, mashed potatoes and barbecue, and it's basically cold. If you want to eat hot food, you can only wait until six o'clock in the evening. There is a bathtub in our room. If you want to take a bath, you can ask the servants to give it to you.
You fetch water and boil water, but you have to pay more."
After hearing this, Ronan placed two gold coins on the table.
"Prepare some food for me and deliver it to each room, and then ask the servants to boil the water. We are going to live here for a while. These gold coins will be paid to you first. If there are not enough, tell me."
After hearing this, the tavern owner called the servant over and gave some instructions. Then the servant took Ronan and others to the room upstairs. There were two soldiers in one room and Ronan in one room. The room was not big and the decoration was simple.
, there were only two beds, a table, a clothes rack, and a wooden bathtub in the corner. When the servant prepared bath water for Ronan, Ronan asked the servant:
"This is my first time here. Can you introduce me to Holy Cross Country and this town?"
"Okay, sir, the Kingdom of Holy Cross is a theocratic country that believes in Maya, the goddess of light. Jackdaw Town is named because it is close to the Jackdaw Forest. The mayor is also the bishop of the church. Most of the guards in the town are guarded by the church and in the church.
Made up of militiamen recruited from the town.
Jackdaw Town is named after the Jackdaw Forest and also originated from the Jackdaw Forest. Jackdaw Town is the only town within a hundred miles nearby. The Jackdaw Forest is rich in products, including many precious medicinal materials and animals. Therefore, there are many animals from all over the world.
Adventurers come here hoping to make a fortune in the forest.
The neighborhood is also quite chaotic. From time to time, aliens run out of the forest. There are also many bandits on the largest trade road nearby. The guards in Jackdaw Town are insufficient, so mercenary groups are often hired to expel aliens and bandits. This leads to
There are many mercenaries and adventurers gathering in this town, and it is a famous adventure destination in Holy Cross Country."
"Oh, that's it. Is there anything noteworthy in this town?" Ronan thought to himself. No wonder the guards let him in so easily after he said he was a mercenary.
"The more famous ones in the town are the cathedral and the mercenary guild. The church is in the center of the town. The mercenary guild was established by the mayor for the convenience of management. It is opposite our tavern. Sir, when the water is boiled, I will go out first.
I will bring you the food you asked for later. Just call me if you need it."
After Ronan responded, he couldn't wait to take off his clothes and walked to the tub. He stretched out his hand and tried it. The water temperature was just right, so Ronan got in directly.
