Day 3.

It was the third day that Stewart had been in the Ampton mines, and he had said that it was a man's solemn promise to help Gross solve the troubles from the mercenaries—

But until now, not a single mercenary has been seen in the Empton mines in the Nogo Mountains.

Heavy snow closed the mountain road.

There are still two days left before the New Year's Festival of the Year of the Red Moon, and his wife and daughter are still staying in the White Pigeon Village-

At this time, Stewart's heart was full of hesitation and uneasiness, he left a series of deep and shallow footprints in the snow, and unknowingly came to the room of the bandit leader Gross.

"Mr. Stewart, would you like to come in for a drink? It's really cold. ”

Gross greeted enthusiastically, the Frost Sword had successfully completed the sharp enchantment enhancement, and he was in a very good mood at the moment, he was about to get up and walk to the cabinet, but saw that the man was still just standing outside the door:

"No, no need, Gross, thank you so much for your kindness and kindness, just ......"

As he spoke, his words became a little slurred—because of the man's promise.

Gross smiled, he understood the man's thoughts.

"Going home?"

"Hmm."

There was a rare hint of shyness on Stewart's swarthy face, and after a moment's hesitation, he nodded.

"So, bring your belongings."

Gross said, glancing at Miss Mage, who was still writing the data of this alchemy experiment at the wooden table, "Ladia, I'll leave for a moment. ”

"Oh, okay."

The quill pen in her hand scribbled lines of smooth words and formulas on the smooth manuscript paper, and she raised her little head, as if to react suddenly, "Ah, Mr. Gross, is Mr. Stewart leaving?" ”

After a few days of contact, Miss Mage gradually became acquainted with this man who didn't speak much, and when she saw him standing in front of her, she touched the end of her hair on her shoulder, and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry that I haven't noticed Mr. Stewart." ”

"It's alright, Miss Crane."

Stewart smiled, although he already knew that this girl and the bandit leader Gross were not the kind of relationship he had imagined, but when he saw the two people who behaved intimately, he couldn't help but silently send blessings in his heart-

"The snow is thick, and maybe there will be a lot of trouble on the way."

Gross stepped out of the room and looked at the dim sky in his sight, and even though it was nearly nine o'clock in the morning, the snow was still falling. He stood beside Stewart, "Let's go to the stables together." ”

"This ......"

Stewart's trip was meant to say goodbye only when he heard Gross continue, "You need a horse. ”

"Thank you."

The two walked in the snow, silent for a long time, and Stewart finally couldn't help but speak.

Gross just smiled.

Three horses of good blood from the West were in the stable, and they neighed with joy and excitement at the arrival of the bandit leader Gross.

Gross pulled the reins and pulled out the tall black warhorse, which was then placed in Stewart's hand.

Gaze at each other.

This middle-aged man's lips twitched slightly, as if he had something to say - this is a real high-grade war horse, and in today's Nogo, its value must not be underestimated.

"I lent it to you, after the New Year's Festival, I will go to White Pigeon Village."

There was a mixture of emotions in their gazes, and Stewart didn't say anything more, he nodded heavily, rolled over and rode on horseback.

"Gross ......"

"Have a nice trip, then, Mr. Stewart."

……

Half an hour after bidding farewell to "Black Barrier" Stewart, Gross stood in front of the wooden gate of the Ampton Mine, watching the back of the man on the horse fade away, until he disappeared into the vast snow, he withdrew his gaze-

At this time, there were already Scott, Oliver, and Levine standing next to him.

"Boss, you're so enthusiastic about that guy!"

Oliver couldn't help but sigh.

"Maybe this is the heroic sympathy among knights?"

Levine took Oliver's words, and he looked at the others—Gross's lips pursed into a line, and Scott just smiled and didn't speak.

Scott didn't feel any surprise at the bandit leader's actions-

This was the Gross he knew, and although Scott was two years older than him, he felt deep admiration for the young bandit leader in terms of strength, strategy, mind and bearing.

Stewart, the sword hero among the commoners -

In the past few days, Scott's swordsmanship has also received a lot of attention from this man, and unlike Gross's fighting style, his swordsmanship is thick, stable, and impeccable in defense, which can be regarded as an effective complement that complements each other.

Gross turned and walked back, the three of them following closely behind.

The snowflakes in the sky are getting bigger and bigger.

……

In the year of the Red Moon, "Rebellion of Ambition".

In fact, in the past few days, except for the time spent discussing academics with Miss Lady, Glas has been thinking more often -

Think about the current situation, and the future.

Knowing about the mission in Lorenz from Stewart's mouth, Gross has realized that the wolf bandits are in a huge trouble—and this trouble is already doomed.

Because of their bandit status and the ownership of the Ampton mines.

With the "Fog Pine War" passing, the nobles of the Tarun region have turned their attention back to these important resource points-

The mine means wealth to them, and they can't bear the wealth of their territory to be out of their control for a long time, and these things are the reason and background for the series of bandit missions in the year of the red moon in the game.

At first, only some of the barely strong nobles, private soldiers under the nobles, mercenaries raised by money, etc., participated in the task of suppressing bandits, but with the deepening and expansion of the mission, what Gross knew as a player in his previous life, there will be regular knights in the future, as well as powerful knights of the first order of awakening-

With the current strength of the wolf bandits, meeting these knights is like hitting a stone with an egg.

Even if the bandit leader Gross has the artistic conception of swordsmanship at the level of a swordsman, he is powerless to resist.

Therefore, Gross had to plan ahead and plan ahead.

Uproot.

When this thought popped into his mind, he began to carefully consider the detailed plan-

There were more than fifty people in the wolf bandit group, most of them were young men, and the rest were old people and children. And among them, including Miss Mage, Ladia, there are a total of six inaugurants:

Gross, Scott, Oliver, Levine, Ron, and Lardia Klein, that's pretty much all they have on paper.

One senior rank, four intermediate ranks, and one junior rank, if you talk about the "strongest knights in the Northlands" who are tough in the Tarun Fortress, you don't even think about it, but it is easy and pleasant to bully other bandits.

Brute Bear bandits.

Gross remembered Michelle the Grizzly Bear, and this time, he made up his mind to take the killer out of the bunch of guys.
