Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

Considering that the desert temperature dropped sharply at night, it was not suitable for driving, so Richard chose to rest in the cleared robber’s nest** for one night, and then leave here at dawn on the 2nd day In order to prevent themselves from being attacked, the Valandia cavalry who did not return to the main world took turns to watch the night. They are all high-ranking soldiers, and naturally they are more dedicated than those robber sentries.

In the morning of 2nd day, Richard and the others packed up and left the lair. Khalid and Jamal, who did not leave the house overnight, saw the forty soldiers who were still there overnight. There were only four people left, and they were shocked to speak. They don’t remember hearing the soldiers leaving here yesterday, especially Jamal. It is hard for him to believe that he came from the north of the Pulas Sea without his guidance. How did the soldiers get out of the desert.

In addition, the most incredible thing is that the warehouse full of stolen goods disappeared. Although the two did not see the scene in the warehouse with their own eyes, they all knew that the desert robber’s lair must be hidden. With a large amount of looted goods and money, not only the soldiers who came with them are gone when they wake up now, but also the goods from Chengshan are gone, which makes them feel suspicious of life.

Faced with the doubts of the two, Richard not at all explained his plan to them. After Khalid took him to the main world together, he would understand for himself. As for Jamal, he was only temporary The hired guide is only, is it necessary to explain to him?

After leaving the lair, they walked until noon that day, and the seven of them finally returned to Livas Village. After passing by yesterday where they killed a few bounty hunters who were not long-eyed, Richard paid special attention to it. Suddenly, he found that the blood stains and corpses on the ground were disappeared, but a few bone-shaped things could be seen not far away, so he guessed that the corpses of those bounty hunters might have been eaten by the desert wolves that were rampant at night.

After entering Livas Village, the number of bounty hunters in the village is more than yesterday. Richard has no plans to deal with them. He paid Jamal 100 dinar salary plus 50 After dinar’s hush money, the two sides said goodbye.

Although the hush fee for fifty dinar is not much, this can be considered Richard gives him a bit of sweetness, and it also allows him to know what to say and what not to say. After all, Jamal is I personally took them to find the desert robber’s lair. If this matter is learned by outsiders, Richard and the others are likely to have some trouble.

From the time-consuming actions of Emir Hubia, that batch of spices must be very important to him. Maybe there is something very valuable in it. If it is known that Richard put If the robbers wiped it out, would they think that the thing fell into Richard’s hands and pursue him endlessly?

Although the probability of this kind of thing is not high, everything can happen. No one can tell, Richard should be careful.

……

After separating from Jamal, Richard asked Khalid to come forward to recruit new recruits in Livas Village, but to their surprise, the village chief told They, Emile Teis of Humia just recently recruited new soldiers in the village, and most of the troops were taken away, so no one joined Richard’s team.

In desperation, Richard could only leave the village with the cavalry, return to Hubia, and take Kanizat away. ,

Before leaving, Richard did not forget the packhorses and carriage. He found an excuse to leave and put the packhorses and prairie horses in the item column. The carriage was not taken away and sold to the locals. Businessman.

Next, Richard, who bought some rations, took his men and left Hubia. When leaving, Kanizat, who had not seen the original soldiers, also asked Richard about their whereabouts and this time. Whether the activity went smoothly, Richard casually made up a reason, telling her that in order not to attract the attention of the Emir, the soldiers left with the spice they looted, and he came back from this trip specifically to take her away.

After hearing what Richard said, Kanizat was not at all suspicious, because after they left, reward orders for the desert bandits were indeed posted everywhere in the city, and she also passed and was in the tavern. The Boss communicated that Lord Emil was extremely angry at the crimes committed by the bandits. In addition, she heard a gossip that there was not only spices in the stolen goods, but also one that was very important to Emil. s things.

Therefore, she would believe the reason given by Richard.

After leaving the city of Hubia, considering that there were only seven of them, in order to avoid accidents when encountering robbers halfway, Richard formed a team with a caravan that was also going to Gasila on the way. Hurrying to Northwest, it took almost a month to arrive on this journey.

Gasila, this port city on the southern coast of the Pulas Sea is not rich, but the living conditions of the residents in the city are pretty good. At least after Richard entered the city, he did not hear a complaint from civilians about life.

Richard did not stay in the city. He went directly to the port and asked Chief-In-Charge if there were any ships going north to Zeonnika in the Western Empire, because Alessai was at war with the Southern Empire. So the route to the Southern Empire was blocked by the naval battleships of both sides, and Richard could only go to the Western Empire.

But this doesn’t make much difference for him. His main destination is the Kingdom of Vallandia. As mentioned earlier, the main body of his future army is composed of Vallandia soldiers. Considering that there is not much difference between the appearances of the Empires and Touraines, it is also possible to recruit some Empire soldiers to join the army.

After some inquiries, the port Chief-In-Charge told Richard that there was a merchant ship leaving for Zeonnika three days later, because many seas from Nord have appeared on the Pulas Sea recently. Kou, so many ships are afraid to set sail. The merchant ship that departs three days later is the only ship that dared to leave a safe port in the near future.

Although he was a little worried about the Nord pirates, Richard chose to take the merchant ship. He paid the soldiers a daily salary. If he spends one more day, he will spend an extra salary. This absolutely is not possible.

However, in order to guard against possible pirates, Richard decided to go to the villages around the city of Gasilah before setting off and recruit some recruits to increase the number of the team. If you really encounter pirates , He won’t fall behind in number, isn’t he.

So, three days later, Richard, who was recruited from the villages outside the city and recruited nine novices, led the team to the Alesai merchant ship that was about to depart, and stood on the wooden deck of the merchant ship. He watched As the port with the flag of the lord was flying away, and the whole body was surrounded by the vast sea, I couldn’t help but raise expectations for this trip to the north.
