"The team configuration of your group is very reasonable, and I don't need anything to add." Old Thor shook his head decisively.

joke.

Just like a mid-level knight can beat at least ten junior knights, and a senior knight can beat at least ten mid-level knights.

The Sabretooth Mercenary Group is already equipped with two senior knights, thirty junior knights, and a junior wizard.

He really had nothing to say about this lineup.

"Okay, then please stay in our camp outside the city tonight and set out with the army early tomorrow morning." The female knight said straightforwardly.

"OK."

Old Thor nodded. Then the father and son left the office, went back to the restaurant to check out, and then went to the Sabretooth Mercenary Group's camp outside the Golden City with the female knight.

The team is still led by a female knight. By the way, she is also one of the accompanying knights this time, a true intermediate knight.

The next morning, before dawn, Pompey and his son were woken up. After having a rich breakfast, they rushed to Patton Territory with the Sabretooth Mercenaries.

In addition to the knights, there were also dozens of guards responsible for logistics and ten carriages.

Riding at the front of the team were Old Thor and the Axe Knight. The two were talking while riding. The Axe Knight suddenly said curiously, "To destroy a bandit group, your Pompeii is very generous. If the process goes smoothly, the event of Pompeii and the Sabretooth Tiger Mercenary Group destroying the Autumn Wind Bandits will sweep across Orange like a hurricane. But this matter does not seem to bring anything to Pompeii except prestige and reputation, so I am very curious why."

The Axe Knight knew nothing about Pompey, he only knew that he was a small country knight leader, so he is still confused about Pompey's actions.

Old Sol smiled and said, "Pompeii has built a town deep in the forest at the southern end of Barony Baron. We need to demonstrate our military strength, financial resources, and prestige to attract residents to live here."

"A city deep in the forest? That is indeed very dangerous. If I were an ordinary freeman, I would not live there."

The Axe Knight blinked and looked suddenly enlightened.

For the sake of a city, this makes sense. If the city is built, then the taxes plus other income can slowly recover the 100,000 gold coins.

"If the Sabretooth Knights receive any missions in the future, such as slaying dragons in the forest, or capturing monsters, or collecting precious medicinal herbs, we hope they can set up camp in Pompeii and use it as an outpost." Luther, who was one body length behind, rode up on his warhorse and inserted a commercial.

A city that relies on self-sufficiency is always inferior. It needs to rely on mobile commerce and population to bring prosperity.

If the Sabretooth Mercenaries want to go deep into the forest and use Pompeii as an outpost, it will incur expenses, such as food supplies, repair of damaged weapons, and other expenses.

After the battle, the mercenaries came to the Pompeii Restaurant to have a drink, and drinking always requires snacks.

All in all, food, clothing, housing and transportation bring only benefits and no harm.

This advertisement is free, so it would be a waste not to insert it.

The Axe Knight and Old Thor were both dumbfounded. How did the topic suddenly come to this point? It was a stroke of genius, but they had to admit that this wave of advertising insertions was impeccable.

"Hahaha, if there is a mission, I will arrange for the team to camp in Pompeii." The Axe Knight laughed heartily and nodded in agreement.

The knight's shortcomings are that he is a drunkard, impatient with official duties, and has an affair with his female knight assistant, but his strengths are also obvious.

He is brave and good at fighting, and extremely generous.

This is a small episode in the journey.

After more than ten days of marching, the team arrived at Badon Territory. However, the group did not enter the city, but abandoned the ordinary soldiers, and dozens of knights traveled lightly to the Blackwater Mountains.

The so-called Blackwater Mountains is a small mountain range at the northern end of Patton Territory. The mountains are all low and very easy to climb, but they also form a natural place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The east, south and west sides of the Blackwater Mountains are covered with dense forests, which are more conducive to hiding outposts. If someone intends to attack the Blackwater Mountains, the outposts hidden in the forest will find it and pass the message to the stronghold on the mountain.

To the north of the Blackwater Mountains is a river running from east to west. If the situation goes wrong, the Autumn Wind Bandits will choose to go down the river and escape from here.

To the north of the river is the territory of another viscount.

All in all, this is a place located in a no-man's land that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the Qiufeng Thieves are very good at escaping.

So even though the thieves' gang has been entrenched here for more than ten years, Baron Patton can't do anything about it.

It seriously affected the commercial activities in Patton's territory and caused considerable losses.

From this perspective, if Pompey and his son successfully wipe out this gang of thieves, it will also be beneficial to Baron Patton.

Since they were going to directly wipe out this entrenched bandit group, there was nothing much to say. When the group arrived at the edge of the southern forest, they began to prepare for the attack.

"Everyone, check your bodies to see if there are any traces of the Sabretooth Tiger Mercenaries. Clear all traces. We can't let them know that we are the Sabretooth Tiger Mercenaries, otherwise they will run away before we even start the fight."

The Axe Knight said.

This is not bragging. As one of the largest mercenary groups in Orange, the Sabretooth Mercenary Group is feared by thieves.

And if there is no mark, the other party will not know who they are.

The knights, including the Battle Axe Knight and the female knight, began to carefully check the marks on their bodies. After they were done, the Battle Axe Knight said to Pompey and his son, "Knight Pompey, please take your son here to rest."

"My son and I are both knights and can fight." Old Thor drew out his knight's sword with a firm attitude, and glared at Luther.

Because he saw Luther wanted to retreat.

Luther certainly didn't want to take part in the battle. As a lord who had hired a powerful mercenary group, he only needed to stay in the rear and enjoy the victory. Why bother to rush into the battle?

Fighting will hurt.

But Old Thor obviously hoped that Luther would be brave and good at fighting, so he glared at him threateningly, and Luther could only shrug his shoulders and prepare to join the battle.

"Why are you so slow to react? You are only a mid-level knight, and your son is even a junior knight. Whether you participate in the battle or not will have no effect on the outcome. On the contrary, we will protect you if you participate in the battle, because if we lose our patron in the battle, it will be a major blow to the reputation of our Sabretooth Knights."

A knight said in a very unhappy tone.
