When I went out, I was empty-handed, but when I returned, I was fully loaded.

Tang En's party was more than a hundred people, although he did not raise the torch and act with great fanfare.

But hundreds of people eat horses and chew horses, and it is impossible to hide their traces.

A veteran who is adept at searching, relying on these clues, can definitely find Donn's hidden camp.

There is no doubt that there is no shortage of veterans of this kind of field search under Colbert.

As long as he focuses on Tang En and the others, he is afraid that he will not be too far away from the exposure of the secret camp.

Don also thinks very clearly about this.

Relying only on a few professions, although the goal is small and the whereabouts are hidden, it is never possible to develop and grow.

The main reason why they stayed near the Horn Forest was to find the Frost Grass.

It is impossible for them to stay far away from the Emerald City until they find the Frost Grass, and in order to find the Frost Grass faster, they can only develop more men.

The only stupid way to find frost grass in the Horn Forest is to find a needle in a haystack, and only by mobilizing more people to search for it will be a little more certain.

So even if the situation was unfavorable, Don did not give up recruiting people to expand their power.

Moreover, they have been active in northern Xinjiang for many years, and they are also familiar with the environment in the Oxhorn Forest, once they leave here, where can they go to find a suitable place?

Until the mountains and rivers are exhausted, Tang En and the others will not leave the northern frontier and go to the unknown world.

Moreover, although Colbert is in charge of the city defenses, he also has many opponents in the Emerald City.

Whether it's the city lord's mansion or the noble council, he has many hidden enemies.

What's more, the most powerful Ice and Snow Goddess Church in the Emerald City is also his secret opponent.

In order to suppress these political opponents, Colbert also needs to stay in the Emerald City for a long time.

If Combert doesn't take action personally, Don may not be under much pressure.

In the Battle of Shadow Castle, they killed Ellen.

This will undoubtedly boost Marianda's prestige.

Although the city defense army also has a few silver-level players, its strength may not be stronger than Allen. Without knowing the details of Marianda, they will definitely not act rashly.

The group hurried overnight and returned to the camp before the early hours of the morning.

Don settles Marianda first, and then lets Lucia take care of her.

lest she can't think of what she is doing.

As soon as the morning dawned, Don didn't have time to rest, so he arranged for Celt and Bruce to take a few mercenaries to find out the news, and then began to organize these rabble.

Don organized the mercenaries who were good at shooting and hunting into a team, and the captains of the team were Bruce and Celtic.

Then the strong mercenaries were selected, equipped with steel swords and shields, and let them serve as sword and shield soldiers, led by John and Jack.

In the end, the cunning and agile mercenaries were selected and led by Richard, so that they could act as spies for intelligence and scouts during battles.

In the end, the remaining manpower was selected, and he could only serve as a logistics handyman.

These people are all led by Rednor, and Brand also temporarily acts as the small leader of the logistics troops.

As for Tedri, she was also appointed by Don as a logistics officer, in charge of all the logistics of this small and elite team.

As for Marianda, Lucia, and Donn, they continue to serve as the team's mage team.

Marianda was selected as the head of the regiment, and Donn, Lucia, and Redno served as deputy commanders.

In just one day, Don built the skeleton of a large team of mercenaries. Although they are now wanted by Coubert, they are not yet able to accept a regular assignment. But once they can operate openly, they can immediately expand into a large-scale mercenary group.

After a busy day, when the two Bruce returned, Don asked directly, "How's the situation?"

"The city defense army did not act, after yesterday's incident, Colbert did not send people to occupy the Shadow Castle, but instead absorbed Tang Deli and others, preparing to expand a brigade of city defense forces. Bruce replied.

"The Shadow Castle is in a precarious position, and there are seven villages in the territory, so isn't there any other force tempted by such an important place?" asked Donn.

"The other two mercenary groups already have bases, and their locations are no worse than Shadow Castle. We killed Eren last night, and they may not be willing to risk offending us without knowing the details. As for those small mercenary groups, they don't have the strength to occupy this place. Celt thought for a moment and continued.

"Is there any information on Fanta's territory?" Donn then asked.

"The city defense forces have not yet returned, and it is said that they are already in the midst of a bitter battle. Bruce replied.

"Shall we support Fanta Collar?" asked Celtic.

"No, although we offended Coubert, we didn't actually kill or injure many city defense troops, and there is still room for détente with the city defense army. If we keep going against Coubert, I'm afraid he'll treat us as a priority opponent. Don immediately interrupted Celtic's thoughts.

"Now that we've offended Cowbert, we shouldn't be afraid of this person. Bruce apparently agreed with Celtic's statement and immediately continued.

"The most important thing now is to find the Frost Grass, if we find the Frost Grass, we can go anywhere, and we may not stay in the Emerald City for the rest of our lives. If the relationship with the city defense army continues to deteriorate, in the face of a steady stream of encirclement and suppression, our energy will be spent on fighting, which is not the result I want most. Don looked in the direction of Marianda and said to the two.

Now this mercenary group is controlled by the mage group, and they also execute the will of the mage team.

For Donne, the most important thing is to heal Marianda's injuries, relieve her after-effects, and then create a good environment for learning magic.

As for the development and growth of the mercenary group, it is a matter of second place.

"But Colbert may not be able to suppress this breath, we chopped off one of Cobbert's minions, Allen, and crippled his other minion, Old Barry. I am afraid that he will be angry and will attack us unrelentingly. Bruce continued.

"When a friend comes, there is good wine, and when an enemy comes, there is a sword and a gun. We don't want war, but we are not afraid of it. Since he is willing to fight, we will continue to fight him. Don smiled and said disapprehantly.

"You two have just come back, let's go eat something first, there has been no salt smell in the past few days, and I got a lot of salt last night, so I can have a comfortable meal. ”

Donn continued.

"Didn't we venture out to find a salt lake before, how could there be a lack of salt?" asked Bruce.

"There are so few people that we haven't had time to mine the salt mines. Don replied.

"Tomorrow Celtic will continue to find out the news, and Bruce will train the manpower assigned to you. Donn continued.

"What kind of manpower to train?" asked Bruce

"Today I have selected the archers in the team and prepared to hand them over to the two of you to lead, a total of 23 people. Tomorrow you choose two squad leaders and teach them archery by the way. Don said with a smile.

"I'm good at archery, but I don't teach anyone else. Bruce said with a puzzled expression.

"You can do it, and you teach me archery by hand, and you can teach me and others. Don replied.

"You're a genius, others aren't. I can teach geniuses, but I can't teach fools. Bruce said helplessly.

"No one is completely stupid, everyone has a stupid side and a genius side, and you should try to learn to bring out the good in other people. Donn said.

"Don't complain, you have to teach them well, and see if anyone can awaken the bloodline and become a professional. With a few more helpers, we could have made it easier. ”

"You know, it takes talent, and it also requires secret exercises. Bruce said, spreading his hands.

"Go for it!" Donn said, patting Bruce on the shoulder and looking at the distant sunset.
