Wright left Fallen Dragon Castle under the arrangement of his parents, and he was escorted by the same team his father had been in, the Boulder Mercenary Group.

said that it was a mercenary group, but in fact, the entire team did not exceed 20 people at its peak, and now there are only 6 people left. This small size is generally referred to as a mercenary squad, but contrary to the scarcity of numbers, the team members are all elites:

The regiment commander, Boulder Qiao Sen, is a seventh-level warrior who is good at heavy guns;

Guda, a female man who is more manly than a man;

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

An archer at the level of a fifth-level warrior, a beautiful big sister Gabriela;

There is also the 'Jack the Silent Man' who is silent, to be precise, who plays the role of a coachman without saying a word, and stays in the Boulder Mercenary Group earlier than Wright's father Andy.

The reason why this mercenary group was hired was naturally because his father Andy had treated him, and even the friendship between them was extremely deep, which made Jushi feel more at ease when he came to send Wright to the imperial capital. The second is that Viscount Cap also very much hopes to follow Andy's relationship to recruit the Boulder Mercenary Group, although there are few people, but the high-end force of the Boulder Mercenary Group is comparable to half of the Falling Dragon Castle, and in terms of connections, some of the old members of the Mercenary Group are now serving as middle-level officers in the army, if they can recruit their subordinates, I am afraid that they will be able to obtain the title of earl and return to the ranks of the great nobles!

The Boulder Mercenary Group didn't care about this, and they were willing to recruit individual members, after all, it was safer to be a guard for the nobles than a mercenary, so they could recruit the entire Boulder Mercenary Group? An imperial viscount, a small lord in the countryside who is not yet qualified. In contrast, Wright's talent, as well as the status of the adopted son of the old buddy Andy, made them pay more attention. He took good care of Wright along the way.

Falling Dragon Fort is in the northernmost province of the entire Puang Empire, and the only big city to the north is the Blue Castle, and the imperial capital of the Puang Empire is the central province in the central and southern part of the entire empire.

"The Red Soil Province is named after the red soil, because the soil is gray-red, this gray-red soil is quite barren, and there is little food, but the barren land does not mean that the Red Earth Province is poor, and the Red Earth Province has more than half of the iron and steel minerals in the entire empire, there are three magic crystal mines, and the largest quarry in the empire." Leonard is a thin middle-aged man, the weapon is a pair of sharp daggers, and he knows a little about dark magic, but the most impressive thing is a mouth that can never be closed, but Wright does not hate it, on the contrary, he prefers to hear more knowledge and information from this uncle's mouth to satisfy his curiosity.

I saw Wright's inquisitive expression. Leonard is also very happy, although he likes to talk and brag in the mercenary group, but he is not very well-informed compared to others, everyone knows what he says, and over time no one likes to listen to him, but this little Wright is a good listener.

"Don't look at the red clay guys, these people are dressed in tatters," Leonard motioned to Wright to look at some of the pedestrians on the road. "This is because there are no decent crops that can be used to weave cloth here, there are very few livestock, and it is not as close to the Warcraft Mountains as the Northlands Province. Basically, the slightly 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 sick, you can go to the quarry or iron ore area to become a miner, although it is hard and tiring, but in addition to slaves, even the most ordinary residents can easily earn about 30 gold coins a year. But in the same way, despite the fact that they earn a lot of gold coins, the consumption of the laterite provinces is also extremely high, second only to the central provinces and the southeastern provinces. ”

Wright listened a little thoughtfully, his father only earned four or five hundred gold coins a year, while the ordinary civilians of Falling Dragon Castle probably only earned a dozen gold coins. But in terms of clothing and food, it is no worse than the ordinary civilians in the Red Earth Province.

The Boulder Mercenary Regiment took Wright all the way south, handed over a few gold coins, and followed the caravans transporting iron ore and other goods in the Red Earth Province all the way to the south, because most of the caravans on this trade route were transporting items with large quantities such as iron and stone but low unit prices. So with the caravan to the south, the road was safe and sound, and there were no robbers to plunder.

When he arrived in the province of Brola, Wright also felt the feeling of heat for the first time in his life, and according to Uncle Josson, although the province of Brola was no longer considered a 'northland' in the entire empire, it still belonged to the cold northern region! And in the imperial capital further south, not only the temperature is higher, but the climate is humid, breeding for all kinds of mosquitoes.

"However, in the eyes of the people of the southern imperial capital, I am afraid that the cold in the north is even worse." Thinking of what Qiao Sen said with a smile, Wright had a headache when he thought about it, it seems that the warrior's training cannot be left behind, and maybe the higher the level of the warrior and the stronger the strength, he can better endure the heat, probably.

During the few days of repairing, the enthusiastic Gabriela also came to Guda and Wright to go shopping, although Wright was not very willing, and would rather spend more time meditating and cultivating, but he couldn't stand the strength of Gabriela's fifth-level warriors, and was forced to put on several sets of clothes. It's all colorful traditional clothes of the province of Brola, and Wright feels 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 south, a medium-sized chamber of commerce called the Orbik Chamber of Commerce, in addition to the Orbik Chamber of Commerce's own personnel and goods, most of the personnel were ordinary merchants and their guards.

Unlike the Red Soil Province, which was wealthy, the caravans were transported with large and bulky goods, and there were few robbers - it was very difficult to sell the stolen goods, but there were many robbers on the road from Brola Province to Gesa Province.

Along the way, the caravan was indeed attacked by robbers one after another, and some robbers did not directly fight with the escort mercenaries, but relied on speed to directly grab the property and then quickly retreated, if they were blocked by the guards, they would not be entangled, and fled directly. This type of robber is generally reluctant to hurt people, because once an important person is seriously injured, or a mercenary guard with a good reputation, it is likely to be bitten by the guards, otherwise no one will chase them if there are no big losses.

Some robbers are strong but do not have a strong will to attack, and leave after extorting a fee, it is obvious that as long as the extortion is not much, the guards of the caravan are not willing to fight with their lives, and vice versa is the same for robbers, they can make a small profit without damage, and they will not take the initiative to attack.

The most threatening group is the third group, either the bandit gang wants to break up, or the newly formed bandit group wants to establish its authority, and it is often driven by the bandit leader to engage in a very fierce fight with the caravan.

Wright and his party were not very lucky, on the third day of entering the province of Brola, they were attacked by bandits, and the caravan was not only guarded by mercenaries, but also merchants who took up arms to fight, and the men who could travel long distances were more or less trained as warriors. And Wright also took a dagger from Gabriela--- the strength of the first-level warrior is much worse than most mercenary guards, but it is not too weak among the protected employers such as merchants. Gabriela protected Wright from the rear, while the rest of the mercenary group joined the caravan's guards in a head-on fight against the bandits. Jossen, a seventh-level warrior, stabbed the bandit leader with a spear; Leonard's battle seemed to disappear at first, but it was not an escape, because only a minute later, several robbers with bows and arrows in the rear of the bandit gang let out a weak wail, their throats were cut by daggers, and they struggled to fall to the ground------ second-level dark magic, and although they could not be invisible, they could greatly reduce their sense -------of presence; And the silent Jack is the most amazing, a long whip is wielded, deliberately to deal with those relatively weak robbers, the warrior below the fifth level is immediately incapacitated by a whip, and Guda stands beside him with a long knife to guard.

Fortunately, the battle didn't last long, and as Jossen and another level 7 warrior teamed up to kill the bandit leader, the entire bandit group began to collapse.

Gabriela protected Wright from the rear and fired only a few arrows. Qiao Sen and the others joined forces to forcibly kill the robber with the big shield, and he was a little out of strength. Guda was stabbed by the robbers, but fortunately he reacted in time to avoid the vital point, and the injuries were not too serious, and the others were unscathed.

But not all mercenary guards were so lucky. Although the battle did not last long, nearly a quarter of the mercenaries were wounded, and five or six of them were seriously injured, but fortunately, one of the mercenaries was a young magician of the light department, who treated them and avoided becoming disabled. And the three mercenaries lost their lives forever. Their teammates burned their bodies and buried them, and packed up their belongings to take with them to their wives and children. And the steward of the Chamber of Commerce also came forward to give some bereavement in due course---- in fact, the bereavement is not much, which is equivalent to about double the cost of a mercenary for these deceased, but it can also bring a trace of comfort.

The battle with the robbers was over, and the caravan continued on its way the next day, as if a few poor mercenaries had never been buried here.
