Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

The next day, Derek started construction.

Soldiers temporarily changed jobs to become construction workers. Fortunately, soldiers in this world also need to do some odd jobs, so no one objected.

Everything started from scratch, only to find that all preparations were not enough.

Everything was missing, nothing was left.

Fortunately, Lloyd brought people to help, and they were barely able to support it.

First, build a few sturdy wooden houses, and then surround a circle of wooden stakes on the periphery to resist possible wild beasts.

Lloyd even led people to set up some simple traps.

Then there is the blacksmith shop, the core resource in Derek's hands.

This river bend is large enough, and it is more than enough to level a training ground in the later stage.

The only regret is that it is difficult for war horses to run here.

Even if horseshoes are installed, war horses will sprain their feet here.

However, there is no perfect place, not to mention that with the panel, it can be improved a little bit.

After the initial foothold, the next step is to continuously input resources.

The City of Watch, and even other places, have fixed rules, and the ceiling is difficult to break.

But here, it is a wilderness, where the rules are weakest.

Although there is a ceiling, it is high enough for Derek.

When the blacksmith's furnace burned, it meant that his ambition was gradually burning.

After a farewell drink, Lloyd also took the weapons he owed from Derek and started a new journey.

The work during this period was not in vain. In his spare time, he received training from Derek, and the bandits who temporarily joined the panel had their professional levels upgraded by one or two levels.

Moreover, there was Derek's professional military tactical support.

People, weapons, and fighting spirit, all available.

Next, it is to expand the team and make it bigger and stronger.

…

A caravan of the Night Owl Merchants walked on the trail in the mountains. They were not a chamber of commerce supported by local nobles, so they could only avoid those checkpoints.

Unless they could not avoid it, they would never pay the tax.

In this way, the profit was still good.

High-quality armor and weapons from the central part of the kingdom, and then brought back war horses and leather armor, and even refined iron ore.

Hundreds of people trudged through the mountains, most of them were old friends with certain combat effectiveness.

They had walked this road for many years and were so familiar with it that they would go around it if they met ordinary bandits.

At night, they set up camp.

Lloyd led his men to approach, and the bandits followed him with complete weapons.

The degree of their agility surprised Lloyd.

"Those nobles are still quite capable. After a month of training, everyone has improved a lot."

How could these men be so tough a month ago?

Lloyd therefore dared not underestimate the nobles outside the mountains. It was unimaginable how powerful the cards in the hands of the nobles who had mastered the ability to train soldiers were.

Therefore, he easily accepted some of Derek's opinions.

But today... we still have to raise the flag first.

There was a flash of fire in the distance. It was Wood who touched the front and indicated that there was no secret sentry.

Too careless.

How much do these people look down on bandits? They are not vigilant at all.

That's right, nothing has ever happened, who would care about a group of insignificant bandits.

"Keep your voice down, rush in, kill them and leave."

Soon, flames shot up into the sky, dozens of bandits rushed into the camp, hacking and killing.

When the caravan reacted, a batch of goods were burned, several people were hacked to death, and many were injured.

After a night of fear, the bandits released a kidnapped caravan member.

"Where did the bandits come from? Did they ask you to bring a message?"

The caravan manager suppressed his anger, this group of bandits was too much.

"The other party called himself a mountain wolf, saying that in the future, if you pass through this area, you should send someone to buy a mountain wolf flag first, and the nearby bandits will not attack, otherwise..."

Don't finish the words, everything last night will end.

It's not a problem to spend money to buy peace, anyway, it's not something I haven't done before.

Otherwise, unless you give up this trade route, there will be attacks from time to time, and the losses will be too great.

The caravan manager gritted his teeth and secretly said that if it was in his own territory, he would definitely let these bandits know how powerful they are.

It's a pity that there is no if.

"How much?"

"Depending on the scale, 2 silver coins per car."

This price is not high, at least much lower than the tax collected at the checkpoint.

Otherwise, they will turn around and leave through the checkpoint, and you won't get a single penny.

The caravan manager laughed angrily. He didn't know where these mountain wolf bandits came from, but it seemed that someone was guiding them.

"Okay, I'll buy it."

There are special places to sell flags. Lloyd's strength is not enough to monitor all the mountain roads, but if you are willing to take risks, you don't have to buy it.

And he attacked the caravan and set rules.

At the same time, he recruited nearby bandit gangs by force and established his own rules.

If someone went to buy a flag, he would also sell some goods by the way.

Do you want furs?

Do you want weapons or war horses?

Good quality and low price, there will always be people who buy them.

He can even replenish some supplies and gradually grow stronger.

Of course, all of this takes time, and order is established bit by bit.

And it looks impressive, but in fact the ceiling is there.

How many caravans are there?

But for Lloyd and even Derek, it was enough for the time being.

After the supplies were almost consumed, Derek took Simon back to the Watch City.

The blacksmith shop is still making him a profit, but there is only one blacksmith left to run it. Although the profit is lower, it is not noticeable.

Moreover, iron ore is also refined part-time here, saving the cost of transportation back and forth.

After buying another batch of supplies, Derek returned quickly.

Manager Vincent just got the news, and Derek disappeared without even seeing him.

However, there were no extra mountain products on the market, which made him miscalculate.

After running back and forth several times, some weapons were also sold through the caravans, and they would not attract attention.

These caravans from other places have local forces to cooperate with, and the shipments will not be noticeable.

Moreover, compared with long-distance transportation, the cost of buying some weapons temporarily is actually cheaper than transporting them.

Of course, Derek gave up part of the profit.

This is not the most important thing for him, being able to cash in is the most important thing.

In this way, there are not enough people on hand.

Even if a dozen captives are bought from the bandits, they can only be used as basic labor.

Such untamed slaves need time to prove their loyalty.

When faced with difficulties, Derek simply picked up a pen.

Don't forget that he is not without background.

Although there is no big help, there are still some connections.

"Dear second uncle, my nephew's career has been going well recently and he is in urgent need of help.

I heard that brother Adrian has completed knight training, and I hope to invite brother to help.

..."

Derek talked a lot in a very long-winded way. In short, there is only one meaning, a lot of money, come quickly.

Moreover, the knight training that Adrian completed was only organized by the Ferreira family itself. Not only is the gold content insufficient, but the quality is also relatively poor.

Within the family, he is not the first choice for the baron.

Instead of mixing in the family with a bleak future, it is better to come out with yourself.
