"Alec, you are worthy of your name, from now on, you are the cavalry commander of the Agni Mercenary Regiment!"

In the excited cheers, Zhang Yang didn't forget the business, and found the old Alec, sure enough, the old guy was very calmly looting.

"Captain, as you wish, but for now, let's take a look at our harvest first, by the way, can you give me an ancient rune shield?"

"No problem, all weapons and equipment, you can choose!"

Zhang Yang is very generous, he has captured too much in this battle, except for the 12 war horses that died, the 2 that ran away, and the remaining 13 war horses are all wealth, not to mention that there is also an underworld charge horse, which is the mount of the rogue knight Maddie.

As for the armament, after it has been distributed to all soldiers, some can still be sold.

And the biggest boss is the upgrade of Zhang Yang and the soldiers.

He moved up level 1 to level 16 again, and this time he added it to his strength while also upgrading it to a strong attack.

On the soldier side,

Another armed infantryman, Iggy, has been promoted to Assault Swordsman and is also qualified to be called a veteran.

Then there are Tony and Bob, both of whom have each risen by one level, but Tony has only killed one rogue minion, while Bob has killed one rogue knight and two rogue minions, apparently related to his newly acquired two-handed greatsword.

Zhang Yang personally assigned attribute points and skill points to the two of them, among which Tony added intelligence to make the strong attack skill reach level 4, and Bob added strength to increase the strong attack skill to level 6.

At this point, it was clear that Bob had left Tony behind.

Carly's performance in this battle is also good, thanks to the advantage of the new weapon, she also shot three enemies, successfully promoted to level 11, and her attributes have also changed a lot.

Carly: 18 years old (Level 11)

Identity: Maid (female citizen)

Health: 70

Attributes: Strength 15, Agility 9, Intelligence 9, Charisma 10.

Skills: Iron Bone Level 4, Strike Level 2, Riding Level 3, Mounted Archery Level 3, Persuasion Level 3, Trading Level 1.

Proficiency: 115 with one hand, 145 with crossbow.

Finally, the three second sons of the nobles were promoted to rogue servants, and the two Cato wanderers were promoted to Cato raiders.

The reason why they upgraded so quickly was certainly related to the kills they had in this battle, but it also had a lot to do with their original accumulation.

Then there is the reward for meritorious deeds.

An ancient rune shield was naturally given to the old Alec, and the old guy also picked out a full-body armor, replaced it with a riding spear, and a rune hand and a half-sword, and his momentum suddenly increased, and he even seemed to be more than ten years younger.

The second Ancient Rune Shield was given to Veteran Robert, and the third Ancient Rune Shield was given to Veteran Norton.

In fact, as an assault swordsman in the regular army of Sarion, he is not qualified to equip the ancient rune shield, which must be the Sarion Praetorian Guard to have this qualification.

But now, veterans Robert and Norton are not only equipped with full-body plate armor, all-steel masks and helmets, but also have ancient rune shields, which have become steel fortresses in advance, but they are too far behind in terms of attributes.

The three upgraded scoundrels, the two Cato raiders, and Zhang Yang also replaced their mounts, armor, and weapons respectively.

In this way, in just half an hour, the combat effectiveness of the flamboyant fire mercenary group has doubled again.

"Captain, shall we continue to travel overnight, or shall we stay here to rest?"

When he was done, Old Alec asked.

"What about your opinion?"

Zhang Yang asked, he had already overestimated the old man, but now he was looking forward to the old guy's performance more and more.

"Hehe, captain, if it were me, I would have ordered to leave overnight, our victory this time was all due to Maddie's contempt for us, but once the battle situation tonight spreads, it will be like stabbing a hornet's nest, there are many rogue knights in the Affindor region, although there will be some rogue knights who do not deal with Maddie, but such a record is enough to arouse their interest. ”

"So I expect that in two days at most, there will be five rogue knight squads coming, with a total strength of more than 120 people, and even this matter will continue to ferment, and then the rogue knights of the Saarion region and the rogue knights of Marions will hear about the results of the fire mercenary group, as I said, they are like hyenas on the grassland, extremely difficult, once they find our traces, they will continue to catch up until they kill us all and make our heads into toilets. ”

"At that time, with all due respect, unless your mercenary group is strong enough, Captain, you won't want to gain a foothold in the Kingdom of Sarion at all. So my suggestion is to go overnight, go to Marions first, then cross the plains south of Marions, enter the Gato steppes, follow the trade route, go directly to the kingdom of Livingston, and when you have enough strength, it is not too late to return. ”

The old man gave a suggestion in a few words, especially his analysis of the Rogue Knights, which was deeply recognized by Zhang Yang, yes, he also felt that these Rogue Knights were too troublesome and got into trouble like kraft candy, so it was better to move the position.

"Okay, rest a little, and when the carriage is repaired, we'll set off for the night. ”

Next, Zhang Yang's team traveled day and night, arriving in Marions City on the morning of the third day.

Here he quickly sold a portion of his booty, as well as six surplus horses, for 3,000 silver dinars.

However, as soon as he changed hands, he bought three short compound bows and six packs of feather arrows.

This is for Old Alec and the two Cato raiders, the three of them, plus Anderson, Carly, and Zhang Yang, can also put together a 5-man Ranger team.

In addition, he bought a truckload of food, the essence of the horses, some medicines, etc., because he had to prepare for the crossing of the Gatu steppes.

In the end, Zhang Yang followed the advice of old Alec and bought a large cart of salt in the port of Marions, which was not for his own use, but could be sold to the kingdom of Livingston, because the old man swore that in the area of Poynbru, this cart of salt could earn 3,000 silver dinars.

Of course, the premise is not to be robbed by the Cato raiders.

When Zhang Yang expressed his concern about this, old Alec laughed.

"Captain, I used to make two trips a year from Marions to Boimbulu this caravan, I know every route, I know more about those Cato than I have lice, don't worry, even if I meet those Cato, I have a way. ”

The old man's solution is to prepare enough rejection horses.

For this reason, Zhang Yang had to buy another big cart, loaded it with a full 200 rejecting horses, and prepared an additional 20 large wooden shields with a thickness of 10 centimeters.

When the last of his silver dinars had been spent, they set out on their journey again, ready to cross the steppes of Cato.
