Twilight crawled slowly across the woodland, standing in the afterglow of dusk, and Fareth glanced at Rick next to him and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Well-trained, as far as I can see, the Stags in Sardinia City are not as efficient as they are. That Lord Allen, how the hell did you create such an army......" Rick sighed lightly, he and Fareth were just in charge of selecting the location of the camp. But setting up the camp and sawing wood for the fire were all the responsibility of the guards that Edward brought from Castle of Dawn.

This group of soldiers selected by the Mountain King, Cunhuo and the regular infantry battalion cooperated tacitly and had a clear division of labor. It didn't take much time to set up a full-fledged makeshift camp. This kind of efficiency, the two of Faress have only seen in the regular army of the Empire, but they have not seen any leading private army can be trained so neatly. Seeing the big from the small, a guard is still like this, and the combat power of the army in Allen's hands can be seen.

If it is purely based on combat power, I am afraid that it can already be comparable to the regular army of the empire. And those warriors who were born as mountain kings, the power they exerted when they cut wood impressed Faress even more. The leader of the mercenary group secretly estimated that the warriors of the Mountain King alone were only afraid that they could be comparable to the Violent Bear Army in the Grayback Bear Army. In the Bear Armor Army, the Violent Bear Army is the elite of the legion, and the strategic tasks it is responsible for are mostly the work of attacking and breaking the formation, which is not a simple job.

By this time, the soldiers of the Guards had already begun to make a fire to cook and prepare dinner. Farres pulled Larick, and the two of them were about to go and help. Suddenly, Faress stopped, turned around and looked into the dense forest behind the camp. Rick was a few slower than him before he felt the aura of a ferocious beast looming in that direction. Rick could see that the sun was about to set over the earth. The setting sun shone its last bright light on the west side of the tree line, but the light of the dense forest behind the camp was terrifyingly dim, forming a strong contrast.

In that darkness, the breath of a fierce beast faintly penetrated, and it seemed that a terrible beast would emerge from the forest at any time. Faress gestured to Rick to take precautions. Suddenly, a figure emerged from that direction, it was Allen.

Alan seemed to have something in his hand, and it took a moment for Faress to see clearly. Behind him was a mountain boar the size of a calf, and the big guy seemed to be dead, but the breath on his body had not completely dissipated, which showed how vigorous this thing was when it was alive. Young Abel walked next to Allen, looking excited. Seeing the camp boy rushing over, he kept shouting from a long distance: "There is wild boar meat to eat tonight!" ”

Back at camp, Alan handed over the mountain boar to Fareth and the warriors to deal with. The boar was quickly skinned by their hands, and Rick took the sword and skilfully removed the boar's hooves, and the largest amount of flesh was washed by the warriors from a nearby stream, and then Fareth wiped salt all over the boar. At last the warrior set up the boar and roasted the whole pig on the fire.

Alan washed his hands and walked over to Lucy's circle, where he sat down on a dead tree trunk and waited to eat. Edward walked over, sat down beside him and said, "The harvest in the Dark Land this time is quite ideal, after arriving in Sardinia City, Sean will go to the local chamber of commerce to walk around to see if they can open the joints." If it goes well, Sardinia City will be a trade route node that can be won. ”

After the group of thieves gathered that day, Alan stayed on the Tooth Barrier for another three days. One is to wait for Garden to repair his armor, and the other is to give the bandit leaders time to think carefully. Two days later, Garden first sent the repaired Eternal Guardian, and as Garden said, the armor could not be 100% repaired due to material and process constraints. Of course, the performance is not as good as before, but because the damage is only on the chest, the defensive performance of the rest of the armor has not changed. Eternal Guardian can also be used as a personal equipment, but he is not afraid of being seen through the damage on his chest at a glance. Aside from the fact that his defense was discounted, Garden's craftsmanship was not bad. His approach is modest, but with a strong military style, which is practical.

So Alan asked Gurus to pick a group of clever and studious young men and give them to Garden, so that he could train a group of apprentice craftsmen first. Although there is a weapon workshop on the side of Dawning Castle, the number of people is still limited after all. In addition, the team in charge of the director Lins mainly developed firearms and artillery, and even the combat vehicles that are now being produced and developed. Allen still lacks a team of craftsmen who specialize in the production of cold weapon equipment, so it is better for Garden to make up for it.

He even planned to let Garden leave the Dark Lands in the future to see if he could recruit a group of former Imperial Army workshop craftsmen to expand the team.

Then, the day before he left, the leader of the bandit group began to speak to him. Eventually, most of the thieves made a preliminary agreement with Allen. If Eren can successfully reach the imperial capital and open this north-south trade route, then these bandit groups will fully support Eren and do what he tells him. As for the leaders who were still undecided and had a wait-and-see attitude in the end, Allen did not embarrass them. But he had a ruler in his heart to divide these people long ago. When the time comes, these people will see that the situation is good and then want to join, then they will have to pay a greater price than now.

There is no free lunch in the world, and there is no deal that is safe and unprofitable. These people don't want to take risks, and if they want to join when the trade route opens, the threshold that Allen gave them will not be as simple as it is now.

"There are many chambers of commerce in Sardinia City, and there are even a few large merchant groups. And behind these business groups, I am afraid that the relationship is complicated. We will go north this time, and there will be no less powerful people who will be offended. A dark place alone has already offended a general and an adult. In my opinion, Sean's activities in Sardinia will not go so well. Alan bent down and folded a new piece of grass and chewed it in his mouth, and the smell of grass melted in his mouth.

Edward said indifferently: "This is normal. But don't forget, even the Emperor can't manipulate everyone, so even if there are merchants who oppose us. But because of the interests, Sean and they may not be able to win some allies. Haven't you heard that above the mall, there are only eternal interests, and there are no eternal enemies? ”

For this mall iron rule, Alan has naturally heard of it. In fact, he had a natural attitude towards Satin and his party. It would be great if Sean was able to win the support of the Chamber of Commerce in Sardinia City, and if he couldn't, it would not be a loss. As for this trade route node, if it can't be opened now, it doesn't mean that it can't be opened in the future. A viscount has limited influence on Sardinia City, but a count, especially a powerful earl, is completely different. What's more, after arriving in the imperial capital, there is still the support of the second prince, and the pressure is pushed down, and the Chamber of Commerce in Sardinia City is not worried.
