Chapter 49: Heartbeat

In the vicinity of a hill.

A medium-sized camp looms.

The camp was only about two or three hundred men in size, but it was in a very dangerous position, stuck between several hills, and a high wall made of stones directly in front of the camp stood out.

A flag embroidered with a tiger motif waving in the wind.

They are the Tigers mercenary group.

The Tiger Mercenary Group is a recently formed mercenary group, although it has been formed for a short time, but it is said that there is a mysterious force behind it to support them, and it has grown extremely fast, and now it has begun to take shape.

Judging from their weapons and equipment, this mercenary group is obviously not inferior to any old mercenary group.

Stone walls.

Two teams of about twenty men alternately guarded, both armed with military shields, flails and other melee weapons, and on both sides of the stone wall, heavy crossbows were clearly placed there.

Their captain-level guy actually wears mixed iron armor, with layers of metal flakes strung on the leather, which looks very rudimentary, but the defense is very good.

In the largest tent in the camp.

A well-dressed man who looked very gentle was sitting in the main seat, he was very well-dressed, and he did not fit in with the rough men around him.

I saw him carelessly fiddling with a hidden sleeve arrow hidden under his sleeve, his slender fingers were extremely flexible, and none of the vicious men below dared to make any disrespectful movements.

"Captain!"

A bald man sat on his left hand, and he said with a nervous face, "Have you heard?" Something interesting has happened at Camp Osme lately. ”

"The Iron Sword Regiment's little brother, Steel Fang, has been destroyed! It's a group of pioneers who did it! Fangs, that idiot, had their heads cut off. ”

The Tiger Leader's fingers paused slightly, and in an instant, he returned to his slow and logical appearance.

The bald man grasped this detail very carefully, with a hint of greed on his face, and said slowly: "Tie Jian recently sent someone to release the news, whoever kills that gang of scattered people can not only take down the territory of Steel Tooth, but also further cooperate with Tie Jian!" I've heard that there are a lot of guys who are already excited. ”

"Commander?"

The bald man raised his head and glanced at the man, licked his lips, and said, "Shall we intervene?" ”

The Sven man stopped moving, shook his head slowly, and said, "No hurry. ”

"But ......," the bald man said hurriedly.

"Huh?" A cold glint flashed in Sven's man's eyes, and the bald man immediately closed his mouth and shrank his head.

"Humph!"

The man snorted coldly, and in an instant, his slow voice sounded.

"A bit of eyesight, idiot! The recent movements in Xiliu City are very interesting, everyone is grabbing territory, and the territory around us has not been clarified, and we still want to eat others? The most important thing now is to wipe out the damned goblin tribe in the south! ”

"As for the Iron Sword......

The man pondered for a while, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and after a long time, he said slowly: "After all, the Iron Sword Regiment is from the coast, and they have seen big scenes and have an old heritage, and it is indeed helpful for our development to be able to catch up with them." ”

"However, it's not easy for that group of people to disperse, they should have some skills, let's not rush first, it's a matter of time before the iron sword wants to destroy them, wait for others to test it first, and then we will take action depending on the situation."

"The one who laughs last is the one who laughs best."

The Tigers are shrewd.

For him, the meat in his mouth is not eaten clean, and the most important thing is to take the nearby territory first.

As for Rhodes they.

In his eyes, it's just a piece of fat, but this piece of fat is a bit awkward, let others roast it first, if it's profitable, the Tiger Group will naturally make a move, and if the idea is prickly, he will have a plan.

In fact.

Not only the head of the LTTE, but this scene also happened within many organizations.

That's what Rhodes did for people to spread the word.

Tell everyone that they have destroyed the Steel Tooth Regiment, and they have killed the Steel Tooth Regiment in a dignified manner, and if you want to kill them to please the Iron Sword Regiment, you have to weigh it.

But despite this.

There are still some people who are beating Rhodes' idea. Many of these people are people who have not obtained good territory, on the one hand, they want to curry favor with the Iron Sword Regiment, and on the other hand, they also want to eat Rhodes's territory.

Time.

There was a dark tide around the entire Osme Watchtower camp, and many people sharpened their knives, thinking that Rhodes was dying.

In the tavern.

Someone said, "What bullshit garbage!" Dare to provoke the Iron Sword Regiment, I really don't know whether to live or die! ”

There was even a certain leader of a small pioneering group, who directly shouted: "As long as the Iron Sword Regiment speaks!" We're willing to cut off the heads of those people! ”

Many pioneering groups have spoken.

In their opinion, who are the Iron Sword Regiment? It was a veteran mercenary group that had killed a name for itself on the southwest coast, and when others were free, it wasn't a matter of pinching Rhodes to death in minutes.

As for Rod, no one is optimistic about him, a swordsman who doesn't know where to come from, no matter how strong he is, he can still turn the sky upside down.

…………

The other side.

Just when people from all walks of life were clamoring to set foot in the valley of Yuliangmu, Rhodes was happily preparing to tamestinate the Polydragon, and the town of Gus had purchased a batch of raw materials.

The first batch of Polysaurus has officially begun to be domesticated.

However, it is a bit troublesome in terms of vehicles and harnesses, cavalry is a very precious type of troops, and the general forces can't afford to raise a cavalry at all, so the demand for harnesses is not high.

Moreover, the animal harness that Rhode asked for was still this relatively rare dragon beast harness, and during this time, he barely had enough twenty or thirty pieces.

More of them need to be customized by the workshop in Westflow City.

Wurm mounts like Rhodes are indeed rare, many times, humans generally keep horses in captivity as mounts, some powerful city-states will occasionally domesticate other horse breeds such as wildebeests and vultures as special cavalry, and dragon mounts are generally only chosen by some druids to choose this animal companion.

And just when Rhodes was worried about these things.

A piece of news reached his ears.

"Are you credible?"

Rhodes, who was thinking about mounts, jerked his head up and looked directly at the leader of the adventurers in front of him.

"Yes...... Believable. The man was stared at by the tall Rhodes, and his legs were a little weak for a while.

This guy in front of Rod was originally in charge of material procurement, of course, due to the relationship between the steel tooth group, there is no shortage of some food and medicine and other materials, but Rod wants to domesticate mounts on a large scale, and many things need to be purchased.

And this guy is the leader in charge of the deal with Baron Gustown.

He stumbled upon a piece of news.

There are several pioneer groups with decent strength ready to get together and prepare to crusade against Rhodes together.

And that's not even the point, Rod didn't take them seriously at all.

The real key is:

This group of guys has a little spare money on hand, plus Xiliu City has turned a blind eye to the smuggling of weapons and other weapons because of some wars, and a lot of weapons have appeared in the port.

It is said that they followed the path of the Iron Sword Regiment, bought a lot of weapons and armor, and prepared to arm them to fight against Rode.

This little boss heard the news and hurried back to inform Rod.

But.

That's not what Rhodes cared about.

He wants to go and get a vote!

Now he is really short of money! Mount harnesses and mount equipment, as well as matching cavalry equipment, all need money!

News of a batch of newly purchased weapons and armor has arrived!

It was only by taking the path of the Iron Sword Regiment behind him that he bought it, and it just so happened that the group of crooked melons and cracked dates under Rhodes were also relatively short of weapons and armor, and he had no pressure in his heart to rob the enemy's things.

"It's done!" The corners of Rod's mouth twitched.
