Chapter 43: Alliances

Osme Watchtower Camp, tent area.

This is the official place where the camp is allocated to those who come from outside, register with the official, pay a small rent, and you can find a random place to set up a tent.

For these adventurers, it is very cost-effective to avoid the danger of all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts in the wild for a little rent, and they need a place to rest peacefully.

Due to the release of the monster hunting order, many adventurers have come to this camp, and many bandits, mercenaries and adventurers have gathered here, and the chaotic picture is the intuitive feeling of this camp area.

It is precisely because of the noisy environment that many of the truly bold guys are willing to pay more to live in the wooden huts in the camp.

Enter the tent area.

A lot of people who have spent all their gold will sleep here with nothing to do, and a group of energetic men will always make something happen when they get together, so the tent area is full of all kinds of noises.

There is the roar of gambling with red faces, the cheers of fighting each other, and the lewd laughter initiated when telling meat jokes......

In a corner of the tent area, men sit around a tent, and a few men are bored playing a kind of "coin game" that sailors like to play, which is said to be a tradition of some sailors at sea, related to the changeable weather at sea, and the sailors are more superstitious about ethereal luck.

If you have eyesight.

You will find that the men sitting near this tent have a smell of the sea, they should be people who have been floating on the sea all year round, and when these people's eyes flashed, they inadvertently showed a touch of fierceness, indicating that they were definitely a group of thugs who had killed many people.

And it's very interesting.

On the other side near the tent, seven or eight big men also stood with their chests crossed, and a somewhat thin man casually held a dagger, which was very well forged, and the cold light pierced people when it beat.

They were Rhodes' men.

The thin, monkey-like man at the head is Jon's brother, nicknamed "Monkey", and is a very good wanderer.

There are not many people under Rhodes, only more than a hundred, and now it seems that Jon and his brothers are really obeying his orders, and these few people are gradually developing in the direction of the small boss's cronies under Rod's intentional or unintentional cultivation.

Three days ago.

Rhodes arranged for monkeys to come to Osme Camp to spread the news, and as soon as the news came out, it naturally aroused the greed of many people, and many small pioneer groups sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

And the people of the Iron Sword Regiment were naturally furious.

Not surprisingly.

The Iron Sword Regiment didn't come back immediately to teach Rhodes a lesson, they seemed to be in trouble at the Seth Watchtower, and it was seen that their men had mobilized a lot of powerful equipment from Weststream City, and it seemed that they were ready to take all the benefits in that area.

Don't think it's easy to open up resource points.

Rode's experience is not strictly a pioneer, he is just picking a peach.

It took a lot of effort for the two or three hundred people of the Steel Tooth Regiment to occupy a valley of fish beams and wood, and the three kobold spellcasters in the valley almost used up some of the alchemy items they had prepared.

As for other places, it must have been difficult as well.

Xiliu City is not a fool, if those resource points discarded by the Emerald Leader are so easy to take, they don't have to spend financial resources and manpower to promote these mercenary groups to explore.

After the news spread, many pioneering groups did run out in a hurry.

This group of people is a bunch of fools in the eyes of many people.

If it's really so easy to open up, what's the use of a mercenary group.

Of course.

There is no shortage of shrewd people, they see the difficulty of this, now this situation, the movement in the Ponse area is unknown, there is a steady stream of monsters migrating here from the Jade Leader, even if the territory is laid, wait a few days, there are many monsters, whether they can hold it is two words.

But it seems that it was Rod's successful experience that spurred some people.

Some greedy and shrewd fellows have found the monkey.

The news they brought moved Rod to the detriment.

Inside the tent.

Rod, who had come all the way from Yuliangmu Valley, looked at the guy in front of him expressionlessly.

He turned out to be an "acquaintance", the strange swordsman that Ogre Valley and Thaneba had met that time.

This guy's eyes are a little gloomy, giving people a very shrewd feeling.

According to himself, his name was Wessel and he was a former pirate.

Rhodes did find that the men near the camp were all men who lived on the sea, and the identity of the pirate was estimated to be true, but it was not known whether the name Wither was real.

Anyway, the sea has been in chaos recently.

Several pirate kings are fighting for supremacy on Sin Island, and their brains are about to be struck.

Many pirates who couldn't make it around were forced to move inland, and a large part of the water thieves in the interior were coastal pirates.

"Your Excellency."

Wessel narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile appeared on his thin face, and said, "I wonder if Your Excellency is interested in this cooperation?" ”

"Take that wetland, we will be allies in the face of the iron sword, and we can divide the spoils of the wetlands in half!"

Wessel: He found Rhodes this time to join forces to take a wetland.

In fact, it wasn't enough for Rhodes to come over on his own.

For Rhodes now, these trailblazer groups are not enough for him to talk about cooperation face-to-face, and this Wisserl didn't want Rhodes to talk about it in person in the first place.

Mainly, there was a piece of news in Wessel's collaboration that caught his attention.

To the northeast of Osm camp is a wetland.

There was a small lake near the wetland, and there were many monsters living nearby, and the water source was a dangerous place in the wilderness, not only some monster populations, but also other fierce hunters.

According to Wessel's message.

The wetlands had previously served primarily as a hunting ground for food for Emerald Lord's Seth Watchtower camp.

In Rhodes' opinion.

The place was a chicken rib, and the proximity to the water source made it much more dangerous.

And there is no certain investment of manpower and material resources, even if it is fought, it is useless to stand on a firm foothold in the follow-up, although the wetland can be turned into fertile land with a little transformation, but the time investment is too large, and there is no cost performance.

But.

That place was actually taken over by the Iron Sword Regiment.

They seemed determined to lay a nail in the Seth Tower, and they forcibly sent men to dig it down, preparing it to be used as a hunting spot, and had been hunting for labor and food nearby for some time.

"What do you like there?" Rod asked in a deep voice.

He didn't believe that Wessel would be stupid enough to do such a thankless task, there must be something in it that attracted him.

"You don't have to worry about this, we all have a common enemy, help me take that territory, and we will bear the brunt of the Iron Sword Regiment's revenge! If we cooperate, we are all beneficial, what do you think?! Wessel said with a smile.

He had seventy or eighty men under him, and according to Rod's observations, they were all veterans who had killed people.

"This guy...... I didn't think I was a nobody at sea before......" Rhodes thought to himself.

The group of people outside could be seen from their eyes and momentum that they had a ruthless and ferocious temperament, and this kind of veteran could often burst out with strength beyond the rank when fighting to the death.

"It's okay to cooperate!"

Rhodes said in a deep voice, "I want the Polly Dragon of the Wetlands!" ”

"All!" He added.

Wessel glanced at him in some surprise, and then, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said meaningfully: "Happy cooperation." ”

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Rod also nodded slightly.

Once he got that batch of polirons, he was halfway through his second step.
