Early the next morning, the door of Varesi's mansion was crowded with people, in addition to the dozens of archers recruited by Sahain, there were many people who didn't want to do it to come to see the excitement, many of them had a hint of luck, in case they were accidentally favored by Lord Sahain, wouldn't they be able to climb to the sky in one step?

Exewin didn't expect Sawin to come up with such an idea, using only a wooden card to attract so many archers, these people even did not hesitate to leave the original mercenary group to join the service, this is of course because of the attraction of the title of knight squire on the one hand, on the other hand, it is enough to show Savan's personality charm, if it is someone else, it may not have such a good effect.

Savin said triumphantly to Exewin, "Miss Elf, do you dare to underestimate me now?"

Exewin had to admit that Sahain had indeed solved a big problem, and people could not help but bow their heads under the eaves, so Exsewin said to Savin: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, you have more brains than I thought." Sawan first happily accepted Exevin's apology, but when he chewed on it, he always felt that something was not quite right.

Then it was Axeven's turn to toil the matter, and Sawan threw her the matter of assessing the archers, and moved his chair to sit under the shade of the tree, watching with interest as the archers shot arrows at Exewin's behest.

Exewin set three questions for these archers, the first is to shoot a standing target, shoot 5 arrows from 50 steps away, and the arrow must hit the bull's-eye; the second question is to draw the bow and shoot an arrow while running, 3 arrows per person, and must reach more than 25 rings to pass the test; the third test question is still to shoot an arrow with a bow while running, but the difference is that the target also moves, and 3 arrows must be able to hit the target.

As soon as these three exam questions came out, many archers frowned, and it was not difficult to shoot the target standing up, which was the most basic for those who ate this bowl of rice. After the first round of the exam, most of them passed the test without any problems, and only two or three guys who were not archers but came to fish in troubled waters were eliminated.

But the second round of assessment is not so easy, in addition to the upper body strength must be enough, but also a high degree of concentration, there are not many people who can do both at the same time, only those archers who have experienced many actual battles can do it.

After two rounds of assessment, nearly half of the sixty or seventy people who originally came to sign up were immediately eliminated, and Sawin shook his head again and again, and whispered to Naros and Celia beside him: "It seems that there are a lot of people who are indiscriminate." ”

In fact, Savin didn't know that such a result was already very unexpected by Exsewin, she didn't have such big expectations, she didn't expect that half of the people would be left after two rounds, which was a good result.

Then it was the third round of assessment, this time there were more people eliminated, only about a third of the people met the requirements, Axeiwin counted, a total of 17 people passed the assessment, and the required 20 people were still a few short, so Axeiwin selected 3 people from the eliminated people to make up, barely enough 20 archers.

Savin heard some knights whispering beside him, and someone said, "What kind of thieves are you going to fight this time, you need so many archers, and there are not many thieves in the general group who can shoot arrows." ”

"I don't know very well, I'll do what the Count says, and I don't care who I'm fighting against, and I'm not sure I'll be our opponent. ”

"That's right, let that elf girl worry about it, haha......"

The conversation of several people made Sawin feel disdainful, the dignified knight was actually this virtue, but Sawin also heard a little doubt from the conversation of these people, it stands to reason that it is indeed not necessary to use so many archers to deal with the thief group, could it be that Axevin did not tell the truth to himself? But Savin immediately overturned his guess, since they are friends, they should believe each other, and they are always so suspicious that they are too narrow-minded.

By this time, Exewin had already walked over to Savin, "Just these 20 people, and put them into your personal guard for the time being." Exewin said to Savan.

Sawin said indifferently: "Okay, you are in charge of the arrangement, I don't know how to shoot arrows, and I will have to rely on you to train them in the future." ”

"Hey, they're your guards, and you should be responsible. Exewin said angrily.

"I brought them here for you, and of course you should be in charge. Savin pursed his lips and went shopping with the two girls.

After two more days in Bowen, when all the men were finally gathered and the weapons and equipment provided by Varesi were delivered, Exewin saw that everything was ready, so he led the team to set off again. After a few days, the number of personnel in the team has increased a lot, and the whole team has reached nearly 100 people with the addition of the original personnel.

Savin calculated in his heart, the hundred people here plus the previous two or three hundred, there are almost four hundred, so many people are enough to deal with any kind of thief group. Although some large bands of thieves have as many as 1,000 people, these people are a mixture of fish and dragons, most of them are rabble, and they are often defeated with one blow when they encounter a really good team, so the fight against thieves is not much more expensive.

This time the team turned to the northwest, one war horse per person, and with dozens of carriages, the whole team looked quite imposing. Sawin said to himself, "If only I had such a team, I could show off to those dragons when the time comes." ”

After walking for more than ten days, the team finally arrived at the pre-agreed meeting place, a small town located on the northwest border of Linke's country - Vic. The town of Vic is a very simple town, with only one or two thousand people in the town, most of them are lumberjacks, and there are no local specialties, and they all depend on selling timber for a living. Sawin looked at this remote town and couldn't help but think of Bianshan Town, although it was also located in a remote place, but Bianshan Town was much more lively.

The knights complained when they saw such a place where birds don't, and even some of the mercenaries said that they might not even find a decent tavern here.

The whole town was alarmed by the sudden arrival of a large group of people in the middle of nowhere, and some of the loggers and their families had worried expressions on their faces when they saw these heavily armed men.

In fact, this is also what Exsewin is worried about, staying in such a remote place for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, the best way is to fight as soon as possible, so as not to change over time, especially those knights, although they are all under the earl, on the surface obey their orders, but in their hearts I am afraid they are still very unconvinced.

On the evening of his arrival in Vic, Exewin summoned the leader of the knights, the leader of the mercenaries, the head of logistics, and Sahain to his tent for the first meeting. At this time, there were a total of eight people in the tent in Exewin, two of whom were knight leaders under the earl, three were hired mercenary group leaders, and one was the logistics chief, plus Exewin himself and Samin, these eight people were considered high-level figures in this team.

Exewin glanced at everyone first, and saw that everyone's expressions were different, the faces of the two knight leaders were full of indifference, while several mercenary leaders kept exchanging glances, and the logistics director looked down at the campfire, only Sawin looked unaware.

Exewin said: "This time our target is the bandit group entrenched in the western border of the Great Forest of Cold Mist, this thief group is called the Thruwe Bandits, and their leader is the notorious thief - Thruwe, I believe many people have heard of his notoriety. ”

Speaking of which, Exewin observed everyone's reactions, the knight leader still looked indifferent, but several mercenary group leaders showed worried looks on their faces, and only Saven was excited.

"It's not difficult to deal with the thieves," Exewin continued, "the real difficulty is ......" Before Exewyn could finish her sentence, one of the knights interrupted her very rudely: "Miss Exewin, I don't understand a little bit. ”

Exewin didn't care about his rudeness, and said, "Lord Will, please tell me if you have any questions. ”

The knight named Will said, "Why send us regular knights to deal with a small group of thieves, and isn't it enough to have them as mercenaries?"

Exewin's face changed for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, and she said patiently: "It's really not too difficult to deal with the thieves alone, but the real difficulty is that there are more powerful enemies in the Cold Mist Forest. ”

Knight Will didn't understand what Exewin was referring to, he put his hands to his chest and asked with a look of disdain, "Oh, yes, are there any terrible enemies in the forest?"

Exewin replied very seriously, "It's the elves, the elven tribe of the Great Forest of Cold Mist. ”

As soon as Exewin's words fell, the leader of a mercenary group couldn't sit still, and he stood up and exclaimed, "What? We're going to fight the elves? I didn't say it beforehand!"

The other two mercenary group leaders also echoed dissatisfiedly: "Yes, I didn't say in advance that it was the elves we were going to deal with, so we have to reconsider!"

Sawin sneered on the side, and said in his heart, "Do you want to scare you like this by dealing with a few elves?"

Several mercenary leaders were about to go out noisily, only to see Exewin slowly take out a piece of parchment from his bag, and then throw it at the feet of several people, and said sternly: "Do you want to tear up the contract? Do you want me to report this matter to the Mercenary Guild, and the guild will make a judgment?"

When the three of them heard this, they suddenly stopped, and their eyes fell on the parchment, which was the contract they had signed in advance, and once the contract was made, it must be executed to the end, otherwise the guild would not let them go, and these mercenary groups would not want to receive business in the future, not to mention that the other party was a high-powered Earl of Kuller, which was a big man who could never be provoked.

The three of them looked at each other, but finally sighed and sat down again.
