In the evening, before the sun had set, there were light clouds sweeping across the sky, and the setting sun shone a purple glow.

The early autumn wasteland breeze is gusting, revealing a refreshing coolness.

The tantalizing aroma of wild mushroom stewed ham wafted from the saucepan on the fire and quickly diffused throughout the camp in the evening breeze, teasing the men who had been busy all day.

That stout woman's cooking skills were unexpectedly good, and such a simple combination made her feel like a luxurious meal.

Leon clutched a baguette-like loaf of bread in his hand, dipped in the boiling soup, and contentedly enjoyed his first hot meal in the past two days.

The gravy of the meat conceals the rough texture of the bread, and when the bread is soft and soft in juice is swallowed with the hot stew, the proper satisfaction immediately takes over every part of the body, and the fatigue of the day is easily expelled.

Instead, there was a slight sense of comfort and sleepiness.

Most people exhale contentedly after eating this meal, and then, as the curtain falls, one snoring after another sounds.

The scouts found no hostile presence in the vicinity throughout the afternoon, and there were no other incidents in the camp.

Even this disguised nomadic camp was almost built.

In the evening, everyone also had a fragrant hot meal.

Everything went incredibly well.

It's as if the goddess of order is covering them with a robe.

Early the next morning......

"My lord! My lord! Wake up! ”

Leon was violently awakened by his men, rubbed his eyes and crawled out of the tent.

Then, in an instant, the whole person was in good spirits.

The camp was in chaos, as if it had been attacked by countless wild boars...... Several mercenaries were scrambling for clothes, and some were even rummaging through the hidden pockets on their underwear......

Most of the mercenaries were still asleep, but each tent had been lifted.

Leon panicked and pounced on the place where he had placed his money bag—it was no doubt empty.

It's clean, and there's nothing left.

Fortunately, the noble emblem has always been worn close to his chest, otherwise it would have been stolen.

The stout woman who called herself a nobleman was gone, and the farmers she had brought with her were gone.

But the pitchforks and rakes remained in the camp, leaning against Leon's tent, as if to mock the greedy and foolish lord.

"Blow the trumpet and wake everyone up!"

Last night's mushroom soup was delicious, I'm afraid there was a problem!

Everyone was brought down by such a meal, and they were touched into the tent, and they robbed everyone of their gold and silver, but no one noticed it.

Leon's brain is buzzing......

He has always prided himself on being smart, but he didn't expect to be deceived by a rural village woman!

An indescribable sense of shame welled up in my heart until I was dizzy, and after slapping myself twice, I relieved myself, and my IQ came back online, and I began to reflect bitterly.

After feeling that the woman might be Auden's daughter, Leon's mind was completely filled with dinars, and his mind was full of how to negotiate with Count Auden.

That woman's lame acting skills and speech skills can easily pass in front of Li Ang......

At first glance, I could see that it was a commoner, just pretending to be an aristocracy—accustomed to Sarah's elegance and Anson's persistence, the woman's appearance was as incongruous as Auden's Mediterranean hairstyle.

But, but ......

But this greedy heart still got up for this evil deed!

Li Ang has always thought that with the accumulation of knowledge of a modern person, only by himself to fool others, it is impossible to fall into the trap of others in the 'ignorant' Pande continent.

But reality slapped him so quickly - no matter how smart you are, no matter how much you have seen the world, as long as you fall into greed, you will be deceived.

Moreover, Leon, who came to his senses, had already remembered who that Riva was - it was a special character in the game in the previous life who could become a teammate, a robber who pretended to be a nobleman.

Perhaps in a game of code, she can only stay in the tavern, wait for the player to come up and talk to her, and then become the player's helper, or be expelled from the team.

But now, anyone can be anywhere and do all sorts of unimaginable things.

The previous understanding of the game was unreliable in the face of living people and this vast and dangerous continent.

The team had been reassembled, and each mercenary had a frustration and sadness in their eyes - everyone's wallets were gone.

However, the carpenters said they had no loss—most of them didn't have any money, and the woman didn't seem to touch their bag.

Fortunately, the weapons and equipment were basically still there, and the camp was not set on fire.

The woman even thoughtfully prepared a pot of fragrant oatmeal porridge for them, which exuded a slight heat in the cold morning wind.

But now, no one dares to drink it.

This kind of behavior shows that this woman is most likely a habitual offender, and it also shows that she has absolute confidence that she will not be caught.

At least she didn't lie to anyone—she was really good at cooking, and she was familiar with the bandits and robbers in the neighborhood, and she was familiar with the environment.

In this wilderness, there must be no hope of tracking down such a thief.

"Brothers...... I'm sorry! As a result of my hasty decision, everyone has suffered - I don't know how much you have lost, but I have to make it up to you! ”

Leon stood on a carriage and waved his arms to boost morale.

"Of course, I think you should know that I've been looted too...... So, from now on, after every battle, I will distribute the spoils of war to you - but for the sake of fairness, you will exchange heads or prisoners, and the brave will become rich in my troops! ”

"At the same time, after my territory is established, I will select people with outstanding achievements from the ranks as trainee knights!"

"No matter what your origins are, no matter what you've done! I swear by my last name that I will never break my word! ”

"So, you can start learning to read!"

This is a very simple contradiction diversion strategy, turning the internal problems that have occurred into external commitments that have not yet been seen, a common way for modern people.

But the tradition of mercenaries is that mercenaries bring their own weapons to work for money, and there is never such a thing as the distribution of war booty - it is common to hide the booty.

Unless a mercenary group is hired to fight independently, mercenaries can usually only sneak a little knack into their arms, although they often clean the battlefield.

Of course, the cash on the corpses of the enemy will be left to the people who clean up the battlefield by default; The money of the captives will also be left to the person who captured him, and no one will have recourse, which is customary.

And Leon's decision means that this hired army almost has the treatment of a subordinate - there is a pension guarantee, the right to distribute the spoils of war, and even the possibility of becoming a nobleman!

The mercenaries didn't dare to believe it for a while, but then, a huge uproar erupted.

"Swear to follow the lord to the death!"

Leon didn't know which clever boy was the first to shout out this sentence of slapping the horse.

Regardless, morale was restored, and his men seemed to be full of energy again.

Leon and his men set out on the road back to the village of Fletcher, striding with his head held high, his face unconcerned, but full of sadness.

The Domination Skill that he thought would be improved did not move.

Moreover, he really did not expect to suffer such a huge loss in this uninhabited wilderness.

The loss was so great that Li Ang's heart was like a knife.

There were originally more than six hundred dinars in the money bag that had disappeared, but this was a small matter.

The main loss was the relic of the original owner's father, the knight's saber with the hilt of the sword had been smoothed.

That sword was very handy, and although it was not a divine weapon, there was no other weapon that could replace it.

Moreover, Leon could guess the original heraldic style of the sword.

- Griffon.
