Early the next morning, before dawn, Witt got up, hurriedly washed up, put on his leather armor, and at the same time put the two books on the basics of philology and the art of war, which he had been studying for a while, into his baggage, and prepared to take them out of the fortress together.

Witt still remembers what the old butler said to him that afternoon, and can probably understand the secret now, things in this castle are definitely not as simple as he imagined. Witt had decided that once he left the fort, he would not return. He also went to find Joey at the dinner yesterday, hoping that Joey could escape from the fortress with him and leave this place of right and wrong. But Joey seemed to be a different person, which made Witt feel very strange, and he tried his best to persuade Witt to go out first, and he would have the opportunity to find himself later, which made Witt feel very uncomfortable, and felt as if Joy was hiding something from him. It was inconvenient to say much about yesterday's occasion, and in desperation, Witt had to come out alone, and Joey's matter would be discussed later.

Witt tidied up, tied Cass's armor, and accompanied Cass to the practice range after eating in the kitchen. The soldiers at the training ground had already lined up neatly and stood by in place. After more than a month of training, those recruits have become quite the temperament of a regular army, and although they still lack a lot of combat experience, they still know the basic combat skills, and the rest can only rely on continuous combat to improve their combat capability.

Cass looked at the neatly lined recruits on the training ground, very pleased, and stood on the steps of the hall and said loudly to the soldiers: "As the saying goes: raise a soldier for a thousand days, and use it for a while. It's been more than 40 days since you came in. I have seen your efforts every day these days, and today is the time for you to come in handy and prove your own strength. The enemy's nest has been discovered by our scouts. According to intelligence, the bandit nest is on a small hill on the road to Vizan in the eastern part of the village of Fesdena, where our caravan was robbed. It is estimated that there were more than 30 bandits, and there were cottages. Cass glanced at the recruits' reactions, and although the recruits were nervous in their hearts, they didn't show it, and still listened to Cass's speech.

Cass was very satisfied, and continued: "Although there are many bandits, and there are cottages, but they are still a group of rabble after all, and they can't make any waves, we are a regular army, and we have received regular and rigorous training, and we will definitely be able to defeat the bandits and return triumphantly, do you have any confidence?" ”

"Yes!" The recruits, encouraged by Cass, chimed in.

"Louder! Do you have? Cass shouted in a louder voice.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! The recruits roared three times in succession, and the sound resounded throughout every corner of the fortress. I have to say that Cass's inspiring effect on the soldiers is still admired by everyone, and Witt also deeply understands it.

After the speech, Maligapoye, who was standing next to him, continued: "In this crackdown on bandits, except for the wooden treasure chest, which needs to be returned intact, the other belongings will be handled by the Knight of Cass himself. When you return triumphantly, I will hold a special celebration banquet for all the soldiers! There was cheering and cheering from the audience. The recruits, led by Cass, then marched out of the iron fence of the fort and marched towards the fortress of the bandits in the east of Fesdena.

Witte had only been at the fort for a month, and he didn't have time to learn to ride a horse, so Kas was the only one on the expedition, and the others were on foot. The whole team consisted of twenty infantry, ten archers, and thirty-two men plus Witt and Cass, except for Cass and Witt, the recruits were all wearing animal skin armor, straw sandals on their feet, and no protective gear on their heads. Although Wittur has no protective gear on his head, he also has leather goods to protect his feet and hands. Although the team consisted of new recruits and was placed around the whole of Fesdena, it was still a properly trained army that could not be underestimated.

As the procession walked along the road, the villagers protected their children and hid in their houses, closed the doors of the houses, and secretly peeked at the army in front of them through the cracks in the doors or windows. Only the relatives of the recruits would come out to visit their families, and Witt was looking around, hoping to see his parents or Emia. When I was in the army, I didn't mention it to my family and hurriedly signed up, which is still a little reckless when I think about it. But the procession didn't pass by the door, and Witt didn't meet his parents and Emia.

The team left Fesdena and headed for Vizan to the east. Fesdena was located in the forest, so the party left the village and remained in the forest, following the forest path. Witt grew up in Feysde, but he never left the village so far.

The shadowy part of the forest path is the most suitable place for ambush, many robbers in the shadows set up ambushes, seeing that Witt and his party were numerous, and the leader was still a knight, Witt saw them running away from a distance, and Cass did not order a pursuit, but acted according to the plan and went straight to the cottage.

When the team left the forest, they saw the endless grassland, and in the distance, the horizon and the skyline met and joined into a line. The blue sky, the verdant lawn, the top and bottom are all the same, forming a great visual conflict for Witt, as if his chest has been magnified, and all the pressure is gone. The breeze gently swept across Witt's face, which was extremely refreshing. Wittur has never seen such a beautiful scenery, and immediately sighed that the world is so big, it is beautiful, it is better to read thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles!

While the soldiers walked on the wide avenue, while enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, time passed in a hurry, and after a whole day, non-stop, they marched more than 30 kilometers. That night, Cass chose a place on higher ground with an open view around him, ordered his soldiers to set up camp, and divided the team into four squads, with at least one team to stand guard at each time period, and the other squads to take turns to rest. The team's supplies were carried by the donkey carts that set off together on the same day, and the group was small, so there was no need to worry about supplies. It's just that the situation on the bandit's cottage side, Kas only listened to Maligapoye's verbal description, and he didn't know it very clearly, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

According to information brought by Marigapoye's intelligence officers, the bandit cottage is nearly forty kilometers away from Fesdena and only ten kilometers away from the current distance of the team. The view here is empty, there are no trees to hide, and the mighty march of the team will inevitably alarm those bandits, and the other party must stick to the cottage. Cass also considered that the attack would not be easy and would take a lot of time, so he temporarily equipped each recruit with a shield. Under normal circumstances, according to Wikia, recruits do not have the right to claim shields, but they can buy them themselves.

Intelligence-speaking, the bandit cottage is located at the top of the front peak of the two humps, although the passage along the line is not steep, but the two humps are much higher than the surrounding hills, the peak has an empty vision, and the situation under the peak is clear, so the geographical advantage of the cottage is particularly obvious. If it weren't for Fesd's on the edge of Calradia, this place would have become a battleground for soldiers. In other words, because the soldiers do not fight, the bandits must fight.

On weekdays, if the caravan or villagers are attacked by bandits on the summit, the surrounding lords basically turn a blind eye and don't want to get into trouble. The cost of raising a soldier and cultivating a soldier is huge, and the lords don't want to plant a few soldiers on this useless broken cottage, and the gains outweigh the losses. If it weren't for his own life, Maligaboye wouldn't have spent thousands of dinars to recruit troops to attack the cottage.

For decades, the officers and soldiers have only heard of his name, and except for the group of bandits, no one has ever climbed to the peak, only that it is a cottage. It's useless to talk on paper, it's better to plan tomorrow morning. There was nothing to do that night, and the night was together.
