The next morning, in a clearing far away from the camp.

"Bury !!" At the edge of more than twenty pits more than two meters deep and capable of burying a corpse, the temporary leader of the combined caravan looked at the corpses wrapped in sackcloth in the pits, and gave an order with a somewhat ugly face.

After hearing the order from the temporary leader of the combined caravan, dozens of miscellaneous servants and mercenaries began to fill the hole and bury the bodies of more than twenty mercenaries and caravan guards who died in the battle with the gnolls last night.

-- As a caravan in the wilderness, it is clear that the bodies of the dead cannot be preserved (nor in such a way), and can only be buried on the spot.

Around the clearing, in addition to the people left behind in the camp, many mercenaries also came over and watched the burial process of their peers.

Looking at the buried pits, all the onlookers and even the surrounding caravan guards did not look very good. After all, for them, among those corpses, there were even companions who were eating in the same pot yesterday, but now they have become dead people sleeping in the ground, and it is strange that they can look good with some empathy!

Fortunately, the people who appear at this burial site now are the leaders or backbones of various mercenary groups, and the caravan guards are even more veterans who have been trained, but no one has said any childish words like "quitting"!

After all, they are all mercenaries and guards who use swords and blood to make money, and they have seen a lot of death if they have not been in the business for a short time, so after receiving the compensation promise from the temporary leader of the combined caravan and other caravans just now, the situation of those mercenary groups and caravan guards who died in the regiment and companions is still stable.

However, after seeing the dead companions being buried, no one could laugh out loud, and they all silently watched the bodies of the twenty or so mercenaries and caravan guards being buried.

Compared to the wounded who were saved by healing potions and related treatments, the corpses of these dead people can only be buried in this land, except for the relics and compensation money!

Well, of course, compared to the corpses of jackals that were thrown to the beasts and disposed of by nature, the buried humans now have a grave where they can lie down in peace, and not fall into the unusually miserable treatment of throwing corpses in the wilderness.

After dealing with the dead, wounded, lost horses, goods, etc., the caravan even had lunch some time in advance before continuing to camp towards its destination.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the caravan that departed, Rhodes and the Tamon Knight gathered together to discuss yesterday's events.

"The caravan itself is not much of a problem with its defenses, but the vigilance is obviously a little poor," the heavily armed Tamon knight, riding on his monster horse, commented on the situation of the caravan last night.

In the eyes of the Tamon Knights, although the caravan was attacked by the gnolls, the biggest problem was that the caravan leaders and the people below were a little lax - of course, they can't be blamed for this, the caravan itself is not a place like an army, and this kind of thing can't be done at all!

What made the Tamon knights feel that the combined caravan was not vigilant was that these guys camped in the place where the gnolls tribe hunted and hunted and did not send anyone to check it carefully, and only walked around a few times and did not continue to investigate. If you have a good hand to scout carefully, the traces of the activities of those gnolls in the woods will not be hidden from people at all!

"Knight Tamon, understand a little! These mercenaries and chamber guards are not armies."

For the words of the Tamon Knights, Rhodes did justice to the caravan members.

In this world, although there are also large caravans that are not inferior to the army, but they are all caravans for high-ranking nobles and even the royal family, how high can the mercenaries and chamber of commerce guards hired by a joint caravan composed of small and medium-sized caravans in a county town in Kante City be? This is obviously an answer that is not worth looking forward to!

"Yes! If it were an army, those gnolls yesterday would not have been able to break through the defenses at all!"

Listening to Rod's words, the Tamon knight sighed in agreement after a pause.

If you look at the Tamon Knights, the gnolls who attacked last night's night were stragglers at all, and if the night guards of the combined caravan and the guards of the first batch of small mercenary groups and small caravans that rushed over could have the discipline and training level of the army, they would not have beaten the more than 100 gray iron rank gnolls and the 100 old and sick people at all, and it was not difficult to even push the attacking gnolls in turn!

But it's a pity that those caravan guards and mercenaries don't have the equipment of the army, if it weren't for the fact that the jackals couldn't play the job of sneaking and sneaking up, maybe the human side was attacked and bombed last night!

"Yesterday, the gnolls rushed into the camp and couldn't win, after all, in addition to us, there is also a bronze-rank warrior in the camp, which is enough to lead people to crush the gnolls out!" After lamenting the mercenaries and guards in this combined caravan, the Tamon Knight was also pessimistic about the consequences of the Gnoll's sneak attack last night!

The combat power of the Bronze Rank is definitely not invincible for the Grey Iron Rank, but in the absence of an overwhelming numerical advantage and other advantages (such as magic and weapons), there is no problem for a Bronze Rank warrior to lead a hundred Grey Iron Rank warriors to defeat three hundred Grey Iron Warriors who are also plain!

Not to mention anything else on the side of the combined caravan last night, the number of gray iron ranks is definitely three times that of the gnolls!

In this case, even if the gnolls were able to sneak into the camp and rush into the camp, they would be faced with a counterattack by a red bronze warrior who used as the tip of a knife and a human gray iron warrior who was several times his size, and it would be impossible to kill or injure some mercenaries or other personnel in the combined caravan, and then if he didn't flee quickly, he would turn into corpses - of course, there was no need for those gnolls to start all over again, and they had become a delicious meal for beasts and insects anyway!

"Therefore, no matter which world it is, high-end combat power is the most important."

After talking to the Tamon Knight, thinking back to the defeat of the Gnoll last night, Rhodes, who had seen many times in this world where high-end combat power crushed low-end combat power, sighed in his heart.

Compared with the previous life, when science was rampant, gunpowder weapons were rampant, and now the high-end force in this magical world where Rhode is located is too buggy. Rhodes even doubted in his heart that even if the nuclear bomb in his previous life could play a role in the face of the top powerhouses in this magical world, it was an unknown thing!

After all, judging from the current situation alone, the combat effectiveness of the three ranks of copper, silver, and gold has exceeded the understanding of ordinary people on the earth, and has even surpassed the superheroes of the United States in Hollywood blockbusters (Rhodes estimates that some American superheroes who are weaker can't beat the professionals of the bronze rank)!

As for how powerful are those sanctuary, legends, and maybe even gods? This Rhodes said that it is not clear, but Rhodes will definitely not be stupid enough to test how strong the other party is with his own life, and will he follow the game space of the gods to find himself such a stupid X extremely attempted action!

In addition, the game space of the gods has not collected enough challenge worlds for the evolution of the Sanctuary and above so far, and even the gold-level challenge world seeds have only recently been discovered, so Rhodes's impression of the Sanctuary and the stronger ones is the concept of "it should be strong".

As for how strong is the powerhouse of this level? Excuse me! Rod really didn't know

"Scarlet Canyon" on horseback, Rhodes, who began to retract his thoughts, looked at the seemingly endless road ahead, silently muttering about his destination and not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

Under the rising sun, the whole long procession marched along the trade route, heading towards its destination.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After a night attack by the Gnoll Tribe, the Combined Caravan, which had only been attacked by ferocious beasts and small groups of monsters, had learned this lesson, and had significantly increased their vigilance during the rest of their camping and marching in the wilderness.

However, after entering the trade route of the Tru Province on the border of the Talan Kingdom and approaching the dense area of human towns, it is obvious that the security environment has been greatly improved, basically only the wandering monster tribes and ferocious beasts, hundreds of monster tribes or official monsters and the like may exist, but the combined caravan is not encountered on the trade route

The most important thing for the Tamon Knight and Rhodes was that after entering the province of Tru, after the combined caravan had spent twenty days arriving in the city of Putu, they finally separated from the combined caravan that had come to an end.

After the combined caravan that did not have the sense of holding back and arrived at its goal of buying and selling goods along the way to replenish the supply of goods, it felt a little pity for the departure of the Tamon Knight and Rhodes and his party - after all, the combat effectiveness of the Tamon Knight and Rhodes and his party was indeed very strong, and it was definitely a lot more than this motley army in the combined caravan!

However, it is a pity that the purpose of the Tamon Knight and Rhodes and his party is to go to the border or even to go abroad, so in the end, the temporary leader of the joint caravan, Gibra (Jibra: I finally have a name) diligently found a fairly detailed (relatively speaking) map of Tru Province and a guide for the Tamon Knight After being familiar with each other, the other caravan members were simply ignored by the Tamon Knight and Rhodes' group.

After obtaining the province of Tru and finding the guide, the knights of Tamon and Rhodes, who had rested for two days in the city of Putu, began to set off and rushed towards the border between the province of Tru and the kingdom of Cell!

At this time, the season of recovery has passed, and the first month of rotation of the scorching season has passed halfway through!
