Time blink of an eye on the first of May, and the weather in Salander is starting to get hot, but the area around Mercenary City is pleasantly windy. The day of Ted's return is not far off, and the prosperous commerce of the territory and cross-continental trade have allowed Hu Bin to accumulate a great deal of wealth during this period. Hu Bin, who was preparing to import a large amount of equipment, said that he proposed 30,000 dinars from Su Jia, who had evolved to Grande, to form his own cavalry corps.

After the beginning of spring, the Rhodok Mountains have become a veritable den of thieves, and the phrase that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people is a portrayal of the present. Fenrir and Ryan each led two squadrons to frantically chase down the mountain bandit gangs all over the mountains, and the experience of the troops accumulated rapidly.

Steward Gerdan has left Mercenary City, and he wants to lobby the Chamber of Commerce Alliance to move its headquarters to Mercenary City. In the past month, the mercenary city has been rejuvenated again, the goods from overseas have attracted merchants from all over the mainland, and the increase in fame has also attracted many residents who have come to Hu Bin, and the mercenary city with a skyrocketing population has become very lively.

The goods on the expeditionary merchant ships no longer need to be transported to various places by Hu Bin organized caravans in the city, and the chambers of commerce bribed Hu Bin in order to compete for a share of these goods, so that he would have a large amount of extra income as long as he sits, and the weekly financial report made Su Jia, a money fan, shine in his eyes. The gathering of caravans also brought about a boom in the mercenary business, and Mercenary City began to live up to its name, and Howard, who was eager to regain his strength, was almost a fish in water nearby.

The steady growth of power has inevitably fueled Hu Bin's ambitions, and he has set his sights on cities that he had never dared to think of before. Viruga, the pearl of the continent, has always been a treasure land that has been watched by other countries. But what Hu Bin has in front of him is the last dignity of the Rhodok, the Swadia people's fierce eye, the ambition of the Kujits, and even the concerns of Salander's own country.

In a week the Rodok and Swadia pact was about to expire, and the actions of the Kugits in Rhodok became more and more arrogant as the deadline for the Pact with the Salanders approached. In any case, war is the main theme of this continent, and Hu Bin can't wait to participate in this big melee that may include four countries.

The Sultan of Hakim and many lords have returned to the mercenary city one after another, and they have swept away Rhodok with the Kujits, all of them are full of spoils, and the flow of Hu Bin's mercenary city caravan is enough for them to sell the stolen goods, if they can't sell the cream and other foods quickly, what awaits the lords is a rancid taste.

A large number of goods filled the shelves, and the things brought back by the lords were dumped here at a loss, making the clamor in the market even louder. Hu Bin happily counted the increase in tariffs while preparing a banquet.

Hu Bin, who was not short of money, had always pursued the highest standards of the banquet, and the ingredients that were still lacking became sufficient after purchasing the spoils in the hands of the lords. Su Jia, who was familiar with the way, sent the invitation to the banquet to the lords left behind in the mainland that night, and even if he could not come, he had to send the invitation, which was the etiquette of the aristocracy, and only by respecting others could he gain the respect of others.

On the morning of the third day, the banquet started as scheduled, and Hu Bin, who was finally able to hold the athletic conference, wanted to challenge the title of "Arena Master", but met his father-in-law, Marshal Muhai Yiboye, in the semi-finals, and decisively surrendered and retreated. Luckily, Ted caught up with the night's feast, and he left behind his host, whom he hadn't seen for a month.

As the master, Hu Bin is talking to the Sultan of Hakim, and his favorability with Hu Bin exceeds that of the Sultan who is intimate (30 points), and the mode of treating him has begun to change qualitatively, and this battle against Rhodok has made the Sultan of Hakim trust Hu Bin.

When Hu Bin mentioned his desire for Wiruga, Hakim Sultan did not refuse, but only told Hu Bin to wait for the right opportunity.

"The Kujit are running out of control of their greed, and I've tried to keep my lords out of their sights. But the victory some time ago gave the domestic lord a lot of confidence, and I was almost unable to stabilize the situation. Maybe God won't give us another month to wait for Svadia to stab him in the back. The sober-minded Sultan Hakim sighed, this is an opportunity to kill multiple birds with one stone, but unfortunately the space god doesn't seem to want Salander to go so smoothly, and Hu Bin even has the illusion that the world is full of malice.

"It doesn't matter, the three families are fighting together, and the four families are also fighting together. It is best to get Viruga, and if you can't get it, you will unite with others to suppress the country that has obtained Viruga. ”

In fact, not only was the alliance between Kugit and the Salanders destroyed, but also the numbered ones hidden in the Swadia kingdom were also very troubled, seeing the deadline of the alliance, the major camps in the country were still debating whether it was morally appropriate to attack Viruga immediately after the alliance broke down. The numberers really wanted to slap the stupid nobles twice, and then ask them if they had preached morality when they attacked Rhodok before.

Facing the destruction of the country, Rhodok is still unlucky, can the nobles led by King Griffos and many Rhodok numberers seize this line of vitality reversal? Su Jia seemed to sense something, and looked up to the sky, but in a blink of an eye, he focused on the delicious food in front of him.

Svadia did not attack Rhodok after all, the Nords declared war on him the day before the Covenant expired, and Virgia declared war on Kugit in the country's emptiness. The Swadians, although they unexpectedly rejected the renewal of their covenant with Rhodok, remained on par. Saiga Khan had finally had enough of the mountains and hurried back to the country to prepare for war, and it seemed that he would maintain an alliance with Salander for a short time. Salander, on the other hand, waited for the outcome of the battle against Rhodok and considered whether it would be profitable to join the fight against Virgian.

King Greyfus took the opportunity to hand over a large amount of dinars and signed an armistice with the Cusa League. The powder keg-like Veruga suddenly cooled down, it seemed that every country was busy with its own, Rhodok seemed to be ignored, and even Hu Bin was happy to have another month of steady development, rather than chasing and beating Rhodok.

Hu Bin, who was finally able to go out, couldn't wait to return to his Muradin City, after all, it was where he was rooted. Mercenary City was handed over to the returning butler Gerdan, and the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was preparing to settle here. It is foreseeable that Mercenary City will gradually become a huge commercial center, providing fertile soil for Hu Bin's ambitions.

Hu Bin, who returned, met with the citizens he was familiar with, met with the mayor of Wagner, who had come from nearby Shariz to buy special products, and unexpectedly met his intended ally Howard.

With the help of Hu Bin, Howard's strength has grown rapidly, he has been in the market for a long time, and he is very well-informed about all kinds of news, and sometimes the information that Hu Bin's spies can't reach, but he can get it from him.

This time, Howard specially invited Hu Bin to join an adventure, thinking that with Hu Bin's strength, this adventure would be much safer.

Although the mainstream of the warband world is the aristocratic legions of various countries, it does not mean that there are no adventurers such as rangers, and the bandits bred by war have made the mercenary profession grow and develop. There are still many secrets on the continent that have not been discovered, and the remains of ancient times have remained in history and have not been excavated, and perhaps only some records of them can be found in the records of a large family such as the Reed family.

Some lone rangers who are confident in their own strength and do not want to eat a big pot of rice gradually appear, and such people are often called adventurers or rangers. With a thirst for adventure, these powerful adventurers often form teams to explore these places. There is no shortage of adventurers who have successfully brought back valuable items and achieved both fame and fortune.

Hu Bin was very curious, what kind of adventure could make a numbered person like Howard tempted? Howard took out a piece of worn-out parchment, pointed to an ancient text, and said a word that struck Hu Bin's eyes.

"The Golden Coffin."
