Chapter 124 Blackwater Mountains

"Excuse me, do you have any suggestions and additions for this team configuration?" The female knight asked, of course, asking Old Thor, because Luther was just a brat in their eyes.

"Your group's team configuration is very reasonable, I don't need to add anything." Old Thor shook his head decisively.

Just kidding.

Just like a mid-level knight can beat at least ten junior knights, and a senior knight can beat at least ten mid-level knights.

The Sabertooth Tiger Mercenary Group has been equipped with two senior knights, plus thirty junior knights, and a junior wizard.

This lineup, he really has nothing to say.

"Okay, then please stay in our camp outside the city tonight, and set off with the army early tomorrow morning." The female knight said very straightforwardly.

"Okay."

Old Thor nodded. Then the father and son left the office, went back to the restaurant to check out of the room, and then went to the Sabertooth Tiger Mercenary Group's camp outside the Golden City with the female knight.

The female knight still led the team. By the way, she was also one of the accompanying knights this time, a mid-level knight.

The next morning, before dawn, Pompey and his son were woken up. After a rich breakfast, they rushed to Patton County with the Sabertooth Tiger Mercenary Group.

In addition to the knights, there were dozens of guards responsible for logistics and ten carriages.

Riding at the front of the team were Old Thor and the Axe Knight. The two of them were riding and communicating. The Axe Knight suddenly said curiously: "To destroy a bandit group, your Pompey's hand is very big. If the process goes smoothly, the event of Pompey and the Sabertooth Tiger Mercenary Group destroying the Autumn Wind Bandit Group will sweep across Orange like a hurricane. But this matter seems to bring nothing to Pompey except prestige and reputation, so I am very curious why."

The Axe Knight didn't know Pompey, only that he was a small country knight leader, so he was still confused about Pompey's hand.

Old Thor smiled and said, "Pompeii has built a town deep in the forest at the southern end of Baron Baron's territory. We need to show our military strength, financial resources, and prestige to attract residents to live here."

"A city deep in the forest? That's really dangerous. If I were an ordinary freeman, I wouldn't live there either."

The Battle Axe Knight blinked his eyes and showed a look of sudden realization.

For the sake of a city, this makes sense. If the city is built, then the tax plus other income can slowly recover the 100,000 gold coins.

"If the Sabretooth Knights receive any missions in the future, such as slaying dragons in the forest, or capturing monsters, and collecting precious medicinal materials, I hope they can come to our Pompeii to camp and make an outpost." Luther, who was one step behind, rode up on his warhorse and inserted an advertisement.

A city, relying on self-sufficiency is always the lower class. It needs to rely on mobile commerce and population to bring prosperity.

If the Sabre-toothed Tiger Mercenary Group wants to go deep into the forest and use Pompeii as an outpost, it will bring consumption, such as food supplies, weapon damage repair, and other consumption.

After the battle, the mercenaries came to the Pompeii Restaurant to drink some wine, and drinking always requires food.

In short, food, clothing, housing and transportation bring only benefits and no harm.

This advertisement is free, so it's a waste not to insert it.

The Axe Knight and Old Thor were dumbfounded. How did the topic suddenly get to this point? It was a stroke of genius, but I have to admit that this wave of advertising insertion was impeccable.

"Hahaha, if there is a mission, I will arrange the team to camp in Pompeii." The Axe Knight laughed heartily and nodded in agreement.

The knight's shortcomings are that he is an alcoholic, impatient with official duties, and has an affair with his female knight assistant, but his advantages are also obvious.

Brave and good at fighting, and extremely generous.

This is quite similar to Old Thor, so the two of them can talk about it.

This is a small episode during the journey.

After more than ten days of marching, the team arrived at Patton Territory. However, a group of people did not enter the city, but abandoned the ordinary soldiers. Dozens of knights traveled lightly to the Black Water Mountains.

The so-called Black Water Mountains is a small mountain range at the northern end of Patton Territory. The mountains are all low mountains and very easy to climb, but they also form a natural place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The east, south and west sides of the Black Water Mountains are dense forests, which are more conducive to hiding outposts. If someone intends to attack the Black Water Mountains, the outposts hidden in the forest will find it and pass the message to the stronghold on the mountain.

To the north of the Black Water Mountains is a river running from east to west. Once the situation is not right, the Autumn Wind Bandits will choose to go down the river and escape from here.

To the north of the river is the territory of another viscount.

In short, this is a place entrenched in a no-man's land, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Autumn Wind Bandits are very good at escaping.

So even though the bandits have been entrenched here for more than ten years, Baron Patton can't do anything about the bandits.

It seriously affected the commercial activities in Patton's territory and caused considerable losses.

From this perspective, if Pompey and his son successfully wiped out this gang of thieves, it would also be beneficial to Baron Patton.

Because they were going to wipe out this entrenched bandit group directly, there was nothing much to say. When the group arrived at the edge of the southern forest, they began to prepare for the attack.

"Everyone check your body to see if there are any traces of the Sabertooth Tiger Mercenary Group. Clean up all the traces. Don't let them know that we are the Sabertooth Tiger Mercenary Group, otherwise they will run away before the battle."

The Battle Axe Knight said.

This is not bragging. As one of the largest mercenary groups in Orange, the Sabertooth Tiger Mercenary Group is terrified by thieves.

And if there is no mark, the other party will not know who they are.

The knights, including the Battle Axe Knight and the female knight, began to carefully check the marks on their bodies. After finishing. The Battle Axe Knight said to Pompey and his son: "Knight Pompey, please take your son to rest here."

"My son and I are both knights and can fight." Old Thor drew out his knight sword with a firm attitude, and glared at Luther by the way.

Because he saw Luther wanted to retreat.

Of course Luther didn't want to join the battle. As a lord who had hired a powerful mercenary group, he only needed to stay in the rear and enjoy the victory. Why would he rashly join the battle?

Fighting will get you hurt.

But Old Thor obviously hoped that Luther would be brave and good at fighting, so he glared at him with a threatening look. Luther could only shrug and plan to join the battle.

"Why are you so slow to react? You are just an intermediate knight, and your son is a junior knight. Whether you join the battle or not will not affect the result. On the contrary, we will protect you if you join the battle, because if you lose your patron in the battle, it will be a major blow to our reputation as the Sabretooth Knights."

A knight said in a very unhappy tone.
