Chapter Seventy-Six: The Way
Hearing that Willy was about to accept himself, Stupid sighed in his heart. He knew his age looked too young. He wasn't sure if Willy would take him. Now that he has Willy's affirmation, he finally puts his mind at ease.
And the people around him, naturally, didn't know what Willy thought, they still laughed and made fun of stupidity.
"Willy, are you going to change careers to nanny?" said one of them. This man is the one who makes fun of the stupid person who should go home and nurse.
"Willy, with such a young white face, you will cause trouble for your mercenary group. Those of the big families are the most unreasonable. Maybe they'll think you've kidnapped their children. "This man was the one who gave Willy advice out of kindness.
"I've already decided to take him, after all, he's qualified. I don't care about anything else. He came out to practice, and he must have been approved by his family. It is impossible to say that I abducted children. Willie replied.
Hearing Willie say this, the others didn't say anything more. The stupid brow furrowed. He didn't expect Willy to make so many choices in his heart in order to accept him. Gradually, he admired Willy a little.
It didn't take long for ten people to collect enough. Willy said to the men, "Now go to the hotel where we are staying, and we will set out with the caravan early tomorrow morning." ”
Hearing Willy say this, the ten people followed Willy. Naturally, this includes stupidity.
In a cheap hotel, Dumb sees the rest of the mercenary group. Most of these people are first- and second-level professionals. Among them, only Willy had the highest martial power, a knight of the third rank. Willie seems to be very prestigious among these people. No matter what he says, these people will do it meticulously.
There are more than forty people in the Gun Flower Mercenary Group, and with the people Willie recruited from the tavern, there are more than fifty people. It can only be counted as a medium-sized mercenary group. This time their mission was to escort a caravan to Cantrey with goods. Many items of the Fengya Empire, such as silk, porcelain, and silverware, were very popular among the orcs, and the goods of the caravans were mainly based on these things.
The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, the mercenary group got up. They assembled at the gates of the northern city, with the caravan they were going to escort. The head of the caravan was a somewhat fat merchant, Phoenix. Phoenix is in his forties, with a bit of small eyes, and looks very shrewd, with the style of a businessman.
There were more than thirty wagons carrying goods. One of the carriages was for Phoenix, and the others were filled with goods. In the mercenary group, only Willy rode a horse, and the other mercenaries walked and marched.
When everyone arrived, Willy and Phoenix discussed it and set off.
Stupid followed these mercenaries and marched. He had never suffered like this. Under the scorching sun, on the dusty road. Although the march was not fast, it was not so tiring. But boring walking can really wear down people's spirits.
Many of the mercenaries began to sing songs, all in some rustic tunes. So the mercenaries joked and sang songs and marched.
There is no rest at noon, and it is only in the evening.
In the evening, when the caravan had reached a small village, it stopped and camped next to it.
The bonfire was burned, and the mercenaries and the caravan men took out the cauldron for cooking and began to cook the food. The food is just something that makes gnocchi out of some noodles, and then puts in some vegetables, meat, and boils it into a pot. The taste was really unpalatable, but Stupid still managed to eat a bowl.
Willy watched Ben eat the food with such difficulty, and was even more convinced that Ben was a child from a big family.
When the bonfire was burned, the women of the village appeared in front of the caravan. The people of these small places, whose life is very monotonous, have caravans passing by, which is an opportunity for them to relax. These women also want to have a night with the mercenaries in the caravan to reconcile their monotonous lives.
Their parents and husbands will not be angry and angry because of this. Because these mercenaries are physically strong, if they are happy overnight, they can have a child and improve the genes of their offspring. They are more than willing.
So, these women all danced around the campfire. It didn't take long for most of the mercenaries to have a woman by their side. Many anxious mercenaries ran directly into the bushes with a woman in their hands and did what they wanted.
Even Willie is not exempt from vulgarity, and there is a woman who looks very plump by his side. This woman looks a little more beautiful than other women, her skin is not black and yellow, but milky white, and with her plump figure, she really looks a little pretty.
When Willie chose this woman, no one looked at this woman anymore. It seems that Willie has a high status in their hearts. No one wants to have a conflict with Willy, and no one will rob the woman next to him.
Only stupid is still a person, those women saw him so small, naturally no one beat his idea. So some of the mercenaries began to laugh at stupidity again.
"Stupid, you're still too young for even a woman to serve you. What can you do at such a young age? Let's go home early and be your eldest young master. A mercenary hugged a woman.
"I'm also a second-level warrior, don't insult me. Otherwise, I'll duel you. Stupid was also familiar with the temper of these mercenaries, and when he said these words, the mercenary really stopped talking. Because that mercenary is a first-level professional, he naturally can't beat stupid, so when he heard stupid about duel, he immediately shut up.
"Stupid, you don't like these women, do you? I heard that the women smelled of cream, their skin was smooth as satin, and their bodies were plump as cows...... It's really enviable. Another mercenary said to Stupid.
Stupid didn't know how to respond to his words, so he lowered his head and started a fire.
More mercenaries disappeared into the bushes with the women, and it was getting late, and Stupid lay a blanket next to a campfire, ready to sleep.
In the caravan, only Phoenix had tents to live in, and everyone else spread out a blanket around the campfire and went to sleep. Including Willie.
Listening to the wheezing voices of those men and women, looking at the deep night around him, he slowly fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Stupid was awakened by the heavy rain. The rain was so heavy that it put out the campfires. Naturally, the people of the caravan got up, and it rained so hard that there was really no way to sleep. So many people took refuge in the villages, in the houses of the villagers.
The whole camp began to be noisy and boiling. Ben also walked out and hid under the eaves of a house to avoid the rain. It didn't take long for the rain to stop, but most of the caravan was wet.
When the rain stopped, a campfire was rekindled in the camp, and Willy led the group to dance around it. This dance is like the dance of the orcs praying for blessings. Jumping up, it looks very weird. But Stupid didn't say anything and jumped up with the others.
After a while, people were sweating, and their damp clothes were dried under the smoke of the campfire. Sweating and their clothes were dry, people stopped.
Stupid knows, by doing this, most people won't get sick from the rain. Because they let out all the moisture.
I didn't expect Willy to know how to dance. Stupid was surprised again.
When the dancing is over, it's almost dawn. Most of them didn't go to sleep anymore, but started their campfire and breakfast again. There is not much difference between breakfast and dinner, both are cooked in one pot. These things are a world of difference compared to the food made by Kande. But Ben didn't dislike the food, but tried to eat the bread.
After daybreak, the caravan departed. The women were still standing at the entrance of the village, watching the caravan leave. These men who have had a night with them may never have a chance to see each other again, who knows. Life is so impermanent. All they could do was watch them go.
The caravan moved on, walking on the dusty road. On these roads, there are many villages. These villages were the places where the caravans stopped and rested. No mercenary will eventually remember these women with whom they had a night of love, but they still work hard to sow seeds, hoping to leave their mark on these women.
