When Han followed their caravan from Zhivading City, a small boat set off from the small pier north of Zhivading City and sailed into the Polak River along the small river dug by the Vygians.

The Polak River flows from the province of Kudan in Virgia, through the provinces of Zhivadin, Kulau, and Zhivacheze, and finally joins the sea in the province of Sagos in the kingdom of Nord.

After the spring planting, the Nords of the continent of Yamuna follow their ancient customs and begin their hunting activities.

Led by their tribal leaders, they formed a fearsome army of pirates, sailed across the icy North Sea in the Nord's characteristic dragon head clipper, and began to plunder the continent of Calradia, which they called hunting.

The boat from Zhivadin sailed down the river, and after a little more than a day it was swept along the river into the North Sea, and it went north along the coast of Filchen, and after some time reached a desolate island, where a figure alighted and ran quickly towards the center of the island, aiming for a hole.

Not long after the figure entered, a shout and howl came out, and one by one the pirates wearing chain mail and iron-inlaid armor appeared, they waved the Germanic sword and long axe in their hands, and rushed out of the cave with a Germanic round shield and ran to the shore of the island, where a keel-pointed warship several meters high and more than ten meters long was slowly sailing out of a river on the island.

"Hahaha, miscellaneous people, don't hurry up and get on the boat, follow the uncle to hunt!" A tall, hideous-looking red-haired pirate stood at the bow of the ship, laughing wildly and shouting at the pirates below.

"Oooo The pirates climbed on the boat one by one, and then, the sails on the ship were raised, and the oars stretched out on both sides of the hull, and the pirates in the cabin shouted the trumpet and began to row the oars, and the keel warship was like a giant beast waking up from its slumber, breaking the wind and waves all the way forward, it will go upriver from the Polak River, and the rushing river could not stop these warriors from the Yamuna continent, they shouted and slid the oars, and the keel warship rumbled into the Polak River.

When Han Ji and Arthur went to visit the Marquis of Larcia, a carriage that had been following Han Ji and them passed Han Ji and them.

A middle-aged man with blond hair and white skin quickly crossed Han Ji's caravan in a carriage and hurried towards the Vayezeji region of the Nord Kingdom, where there was another famous river on the mainland, the Yu River that originated in the mountains around Ars.

The middle-aged man abandoned the carriage in a small village next to the You River, got into a small boat, and disappeared down the river.

A pair of eyes watched the man disappear in front of his eyes, and with it.

"We're about to get out of the Radogir Fort area, and it doesn't look like the road ahead will be too peaceful!" Han Ji let out a sigh of emotion on his horse.

"Your Excellency, it's true, the guards in the caravan are starting to get nervous today, and they are no longer as relaxed as yesterday." Arthur also rode a horse beside Han Ji and said.

"yes!" Han Ji looked at the guards who were in charge of leading the horses, their expressions looked serious, and most of them still had a kind of worry on their faces, only the mercenaries that Han Ji had worked with would not be like this, although they were also vigilant but not worried.

"Fortunately, our people are doing well, at least they can fight!" Han Ji turned his head to look at his troops again, those recruits who had just been trained for a few days were quite calm and comfortable, their confidence came from the worship of Han Ji's great strength.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Cassk and Mr. Salit are here!" Arthur pointed to the figures of the two and said to Han Ji.

"Well, I saw it." Han Ji looked at the two of them and nodded.

"Cassk, Salit greets the honorable sir." Cassk and Salit both came up at the same time and saluted Han Ji.

"You're welcome, what's the matter?" Han Ji motioned for the two to get up and answer.

"Sir Xie," the two of them got up, and Cassk spoke first, "Sir Sir we are about to leave the area of Fort Radogir, and we may be blackmailed by bandits in the future, we would like to ask Sir your opinion." ”

"Yes, sir, the next journey is a buffer between the kingdoms of Virginia and Nord, for fear of causing friction, the patrol forces of the two countries will not go too deep, so as not to cause misunderstanding of the other party, so there are many robbers in this generation." Salit added.

"Two, I wonder what you think? How did you solve this before? Han Ji asked at the two.

Cusk and Salit looked at each other for a moment, and then Salit spoke: "Sir, in the past, we would choose to show our strength and determination in the face of this situation, and let the other party know that we are not sheep, then they will not dare to ask for too much tolls!" ”

"Never did you intend to refuse to pay the toll? If it's a small group of robbers, don't you plan to exterminate them? Han Ji looked at the two curiously and asked.

Kask bowed respectfully and cautiously and said: "Sir, we are a caravan, not an army, as long as the other party's demands are not excessive, we will try our best to meet them, this is the unspoken rule between the caravan and the bandits, if we break the rules, then we will suffer the hostility of all the bandits, and they will also kill us!" ”

"I see!" Han Ji nodded in understanding, businessmen pay attention to harmony and wealth, robbers pay attention to the long flow of water, and the two sides will not meet rashly and share life and death, but he still has a question.

"Didn't you encounter the pirates? They don't seem to be very disciplined! Han Ji has a deep impression of Haikou, in his heart, it is not an existence that can talk about rules.

"Sir, of course we've encountered pirates!" Sully nodded and responded, "But the pirates we encountered are more special, and they also talk about rules, but they have a bigger appetite!" ”

"Sir, there are also different camps of pirates, and the unruly pirates you are referring to are the pirates who have flown across the sea from the continent of Yamuna, they are fierce and greedy, not only robbing goods, but even selling captives into slaves, and are the public enemies of all merchants and bandit organizations on the mainland, and even their own Nord pirates are also disgusted with their existence." Salit also looked very angry when he said this, after all, no one wants to be sent to hell once in business, and there will be no day to turn over.

Kask said to Han Ji: "Sir, this route we are taking is not the area where the Yamuna pirates are active, this is the territory of the Nord native pirates, and their composition is very special, and it is just for property!" If we can pay a reasonable toll, they won't do it to us. ”

"Alright! I understand what you think, but I have a different idea about it, do you want to hear it? Han Ji looked at the two of them with burning eyes and said sentence by sentence.
