William didn't know if the Imperial Blood Night was divine punishment, and he didn't want to know. For him, whether it is the Imperial Blood Night or the Church of Light, it is too far away from him, and there may be some interaction in the future, but that is also for later. William lay on the bed and thought lazily.

There is wine today, drunk today, and tomorrow is sad, and tomorrow is worried.

This is a quote from a very famous bard, and William liked it very much. "I just don't know when that Sauron will come and attack the cottage. ”

Before dawn the next day, William woke up early and began the cultivation arranged for him by Leha, which was actually a cultivation rather than a job. Every day at this time, William would carry a special axe into the mountains to chop wood. Because of the heavy humidity in the mountains, the mountain roads are a little muddy. In addition, the grass is overgrown, so the road is very difficult to walk. But for William, who walks in the mountains all year round, it was not difficult.

In the past, William carried an axe about the same height as him into the mountain, and occasionally some low-level magical beasts would come out. William doesn't have a vindictiveness, let alone any magic. But he has brute strength, and his body is not as strong as a human. So those low-level demonic beasts have become William's belly.

After a long time, these low-level demonic beasts in the mountains also understood with their unbright heads that as long as they didn't attack this short man, (William was only fourteen years old, so his height was shorter than the others.) This dwarf is not going to come and eat them. Therefore, the demonic beasts in the mountains were not afraid of William in the future, at most, they roared twice behind him to vent their anger. And William, who couldn't understand the language of beasts, took it for granted that this was an expression of kindness to himself.

"I don't have anything to do, but I have good popularity, and even the "beast" relationship is not bad. William Tian said shamelessly.

When the sun rose, William looked up at Chai behind him and felt that it was almost there. So I simply tied up the firewood, and then carried it back to the cottage. William is happy because his progress over the past two years has been visible. From the beginning of the firewood only enough to make a meal, to the amount of a day. Slowly, William chopped more and more wood every day, and the surplus was used in the cottage to make traps or build some simple houses. And now, William may no longer be able to cut wood, but to cut trees.

When I returned to the cottage, breakfast was ready. William eats a lot, but fortunately, he eats more and does more.

After breakfast, William had planned to go to Houshan to practice against Bakken. But a man in charge of keeping an eye on the mountain road said that there was a caravan and mercenaries. There are quite a few mercenaries, and it seems that the goods transported are more expensive, and you need to call a few more brothers.

There are four trails in Mount Turan, two of which are occupied by the Cottage of Leha. The other two mountain roads are occupied by five cottages. Originally, the other five cottages were quite dissatisfied with this. It's just that after Bakken took a dozen people to contact the relationship one by one, all the dissatisfaction turned into support.

In fact, it is not easy to do business on mountain roads. Sometimes there is no business for several days in a row, and sometimes even if a caravan comes, you have to see how the guards are, and if they are too strong, you can't do it. If it is too weak, then the caravan's cargo will definitely not be too good. There's not much to fish.

Moreover, robbery is only for money, unless there is some kind of hatred with the caravan or mercenaries that cannot be dissolved. Generally speaking, caravans don't want to pay for any casualties.

William nodded, and went back to his room to get his weapon. The others grabbed a handy weapon and followed the scout down the mountain. William had a lot of strength, and ordinary weapons were too light for him to use. So his weapon is a two-handed greatsword with the characteristics of a blacksmith in the cottage. It is said that it is specially made, but because this two-handed giant sword is very heavy, there is no second person in the cottage who can use it except William.

When William arrived at the designated location of the scout with his two-handed greatsword on his back, he could already see the caravan in the distance. William carefully hid and watched the caravan slowly approach. Based on the rut marks left by the carriage and the rocking arc of the train, William judged that the cargo weighed no less than two tons. But how much space can there be in such a small container?

The caravan was getting closer, and William could even hear the mercenaries laughing.

The mercenary who was at the front suddenly stopped, frowning at his surroundings. Then he said something to the other mercenaries. He ran to the caravan and talked to the caravan. It was as if he sensed something wasn't quite right.

However, it is a pity that the caravan leader has been shaking his head somewhere. William saw this scene and sneered. That mercenary's strength is not bad, but his companions and those members of the Chamber of Commerce are not so sharp.

In the end, the mercenary had no choice but to hold the weapon in his hand.

"Boom ......" seems to confirm his feelings. The carriage in front of it suddenly caught a large pit, and several caravan members fell into it.

The bandits who were lying in ambush on the side of the road surrounded the caravan members and mercenaries with a whoop.

The mercenary looked at the bandits with a sneer and said: We are members of the Mandala Mercenary Group, this business is very important to us, I hope you don't attack our idea.

"Well, look at your goods. You make an offer. I'll let you go if the price is right. After all, our brother has been waiting here for so long, and there must be a hard fee. One of the bandits said with a grin.

"Wait!" William walked over and looked at the mercenary. "What's your name?"

The mercenary was visibly stunned for a moment, but still said, "Augustus." ”

"We had a fight. You win me, and you can leave. If I win, you can visit my cottage. William laughed.

"But...... It's not in order, and we're ......"

"I set the rules! If you don't fight, I win. William threatened.

Augustus frowned, he didn't want to make a fuss. But look at this teenager is obviously the boss of this group of bandits. Augustus didn't want any large-scale clash with the bandits on their territory.

"Okay, I'll fight you. Augustus said. But he had already made up his mind that he couldn't beat the boy too badly.

Before Augustus could get ready, William had already slashed at Augustus with his two-handed greatsword. Augustus snorted and raised his spear to block the two-handed greatsword. But the tremendous force that came from the spear overpowered him at once. Augustus didn't expect this young bandit to have so much power.

The greatsword sliced past Augustus' face, sending a tingling whistling sound on his scalp.

Augustus, who had suffered two dark losses, was in a state of mind, and was about to fight back against William, but he slashed at him with a sword without any fancy swords. Augustus had no choice but to block it again. But the boy seemed to have infinite strength, and he would look at the two-handed greatsword continuously, and Augustus was so miserable that he could resist.

"When!" Augustus took three steps back

"When!!" took another five steps back.

"When !!!!" Augustus did not retreat, he fell directly to the ground, and his hands were covered with blood.

William sneered and looked at Augustus, and said to the bandits: Whether it is a member of the Chamber of Commerce or a mercenary, tie me up and take it away. Don't forget the goods!

"You're finished, whoever you are, you're finished! Bandits! Do you know whose goods this is? This is ......."

"Marquis Sauron's goods, right? Hehe, I'm holding Sauron's goods!" William interrupted the man who was roaring at him with a smile.

The man was dressed luxuriously and wore several rings on his hand. Maybe it's because the good life has been going on for too long, and I've raised a body of fat. The head is even brighter, reflecting the light like a mirror in the sunlight.

The fat businessman was stunned, he didn't expect one to be such a result. In his thoughts, as long as he reported the four words Marquis Sauron, the other party would definitely obediently let people go. Maybe you'll have to pay yourself a lot. But then he shouted angrily, "Do you know who the owner ......is?" Ahh William's strength is not ordinary, and the fat man who pumped this time was dazed.

But that's not the end. William carried the fat man and crackled and beat him again, anyway, the fat man was fat and would not be beaten to death. William said while fighting: Then do you know who I am? Dare to play tricks on Lao Tzu's territory, even your father doesn't have the guts!!

William's beating made the merchant completely honest. There is no way to be honest, the fat man has been knocked out.

Originally, William planned to follow the usual formality, but when he happened to see the family crest engraved on the wagon, he suddenly changed his mind. The emblem represents the lord of Lille. Marquis of Sauron.

William thought in his heart that he had already offended Sauron anyway, so it was better to be more thorough. Maybe it would infuriate him even more, but ......

So what?

As long as it was on Mount Turan, his army would not be able to play its original role.

A group of people pressed the members of the Chamber of Commerce and the mercenaries into the cottage. Of course, there was some resistance in the middle, but they were all suppressed by the bandits with numerical superiority.

............

Augustus and the mercenaries were locked up in a courtyard in the back mountain, and a few bandits were watching outside. The mercenaries are free to move around as long as they don't leave the yard. And the people of the Chamber of Commerce are not so well treated.

Several members of the Chamber of Commerce were rudely stripped naked by the bandits and thrown under a tree.

When William returned, he ignored the men, and opened the van with a few men. It was full of armor and weapons. There are also a couple of crossbows. This crossbow has a short range, although it has a lot of penetration at short range. However, because of the trouble of reloading, the cost of construction and the easy damage, the crossbow is now mostly used for sneak attacks on the enemy or for self-defense.

William was inspecting the goods, and a man in charge of guarding the mercenaries said that Augustus wanted to see William, saying that he wanted to make a deal with William. Transactions related to copycats.

William frowned, remembering the vigilance of Augustus when he entered the encirclement before, and nodded.

When William saw Augustus again, the mercenary was writing and drawing something on the ground with a twig. He was so serious that William didn't notice it when he walked up to him.

William looked at the pattern that Augustus had drawn on the ground, and it turned out to be a topographical map of Mount Turan. Augustus was there calculating something, and William was looking at it for a long time before he could say anything, and he was calculating how many people would be needed to destroy the cottage and the proportion of casualties on both sides. And some of the weaknesses in the cottage were also noted by Augustus. In William's eyes, Augustus's deduction was already very objective.

It's just that...... If objectivity could decide everything, then cottages would have long ceased to exist.

"You're drawing this thing very well, but if all the conflicts and wars are like what you painted, then wars aren't called wars anymore. William sneered.

Augustus looked up at William and smiled, "Indeed, war is not child's play. But if you can't even deduce, then the military strategy is just a joke. ”

"You know about war?" asked William with interest.

"Mercenary is only a temporary profession for me, but it's not all. Augustus said lightly. The branches in his hands have been drawn on the deduction diagram.

"I heard you want to make a deal with me. Let's talk about it. William snorted and said.

"Soon, Sauron will lead an army against your cottage, right? Augustus said.

"It's our thing. You're still trading with me. William was getting impatient.

"As you can see, I know some military strategy, although I dare not say that I am familiar with it, but I still know some common sense. I can let your Cottage win the next clash with Sauron without a single casualty. On the condition that you let my friends go, and I will stay and help you. Augustus said.
