Chapter 199: Hanbani and Old John

Karl's silence was considered by the knights of Hannibal to be a tacit acquiescence. So, he continued to direct the soldiers to clean the battlefield, count the warehouses, and collect all the goods and valuable loot in one place.

Karl noted that the knights of Hannibal were clearly prepared.

The soldiers were well-disciplined and well-dressed. The leather armor on their bodies does not have elbow pads, knee pads, or cavity armor, but they have all kinds of cuirass, dorsal armor, and shoulder armor, which retains their flexibility of movement as much as possible while maintaining their defense.

In the battle just now, these soldiers showed experienced and ruthless combat skills, they relied on the advantage of leather armor, did not care about the opponent's counterattack, wounded for wounded, fought for their lives, often one by one, the opponent did not cut their leather armor, they were stabbed to the vital point by their lifeless, quickly and decisively ended the battle.

Carl asked himself, if there was no bonus of the knight's bloodline, and there was no strange state of "no desire to be reincarnated", the combat skills of every soldier here would have surpassed his current level.

Obviously, these soldiers are definitely not random wild road mercenaries. Although ordinary mercenaries have rich combat experience, they are relatively slippery, without the ruthlessness of forgetting life and death, and they do not have such strict discipline.

If it is a mercenary to clean up the battlefield, it is indispensable to secretly rub oil and hide some loot. However, according to Karl's observation, these soldiers took off the weapons, equipment, money bags, and ornaments from the corpses with great efficiency, and collected them in different categories, but none of them secretly hid a single copper.

This kind of discipline can only be found in elite regular armies, and Upper Karl can't help but look at Hannibal's knights, speculating whether his soldiers are private soldiers trained by himself or borrowed from the mermaid family.

The battlefield was cleaned quickly, and the loot and goods were quickly counted. Just as in nature, after the beast hunts the prey, there are vultures circling over it soon, and soon, a group of people, under the cover of the night, quietly rush over.

And unexpectedly, among the people who rushed over, the leader was someone who Karl knew very well.

"Uncle John, long time no see!"

Knight Hannibal stretched out his hands and greeted the visitor with a smile.

The person who came was none other than an old acquaintance that Carl knew and could not be more familiar with—Uncle John. It's just that today he took off the bartender shirt and linen apron that he was used to, and replaced it with an old leather armor nailed with copper nails and rivets, and the leather armor was the same as his big thick hands, with the vicissitudes of life eroded by the years and the scorched black spots that I don't know if they were burned by fire or strong acid.

Daddy John's back was already strong and his bones were thick, and after putting on a layer of leather armor, the whole person was even thicker, and a strong aura of not being angry and self-righteous came to his face.

"It's been a long time!"

Seeing the knight of Hannibal with his whole body in strict armor, his body straight, and his body exuding a high-spirited and cold aura like a sheathed sword, Daddy John's dark face like cast iron couldn't help but reveal a complicated look.

Knight Hannibal has a deep relationship with the Silver Dawn Mercenary Group, and even before Hannibal has not caught up with the mermaid family and becomes a knight, he is a member of the Silver Dawn Mercenary Group, and he has been from a squad leader to a squadron leader, and was favored by the sub-group leader, Lord Mu, and was almost promoted to captain.

It's a pity that he later awakened the blood of the mermaid family, and was favored by Lady Loris, and after helping the mermaid family do several great things, he was finally named a knight and left the Silver Dawn mercenary group.

There is no doubt that Knight Hannibal was a very capable man, he was sharp-eyed, decisive, and good at management, and he was able to handle the relationship between the top and the bottom very well, no matter what the position. Even because of his help, the mercenary group has also obtained a lot of new tasks and opened up several new business areas.

So, although he left from Silver Dawn, he still retains a good relationship with the mercenary group.

However, it is not the rapport between the knights of Hannibal and the Silver Dawn that complicates Uncle John's eyes, nor is it his history of the rise of commoners like an inspirational legend. It's that he, like little Lucy, is a child that Uncle John has watched grow up with.

The mother of the knight Hannibal was a famous beauty at the time, and the dream girl in the hearts of almost all young people in the lower city at that time. Uncle John's relationship with Hannibal's knightly mother was like that of Abel and little Lucy, who grew up together.

It's just that Uncle John's situation at that time was a little more miserable than Abel's, because Uncle John was not the only one who played with Hannibal's knight's mother, and even among all the friends who had a crush on Hannibal's knight's mother, Uncle John was also the most inconspicuous one.

Throughout his growth, Uncle John was silently looking up at his goddess and silently guarding his love. And when he followed the Silver Dawn mercenary group and went to a foreign country to fight for many years, growing from an ignorant hairy young man to a real man, he received the news that the goddess had married and given birth to a child.

He didn't say anything about this, just rushed into the tavern, silently drunk, and the next day, he picked up the war hammer and returned to the battlefield, and then encountered the extremely tragic battle of "Dawn Wings" that changed the fate of his life.

After that, he silently retired and went home, opened a tavern with his savings for many years, and tried to spend the rest of his life safely. However, shortly after his tavern opened, an unprecedented plague struck the City of Silvertide, killing countless people, including the parents of the Knight of Hambaney.

Uncle John once wanted to adopt Hannibal, but soon Hannibal was picked up by his uncle, who was a sailor, and at the age of twelve, he boarded a ship and learned to be a sailor.

But Uncle John didn't expect it either, just when he thought that Hannibal was going to be like his uncle, a sailor or a sea captain, and spend his whole life adrift at sea. Hannibal's uncle died in a conflict with pirates, and when Hannibal returned to port with the pirate's head and booty, he decided to abandon his seafaring career and become a mercenary.

As for the subsequent rise of Hannibal to a miraculous rise from all odd opportunities, is another story.

"Uncle John!"

Knight Hanbani was not polite, and said straight to the point: "This is Sir Stirling's private dock, I have taken all of it, and seventy percent of it is at my disposal, I wonder if you can eat it?"

Uncle John's identity has never been a secret, and the Copper Kettle Bar is not only the stronghold of the mercenary union, but also one of the many underground business conduits in Silver Tide City.
