Roning only knew that this man was the Bronze Knight. Apart from that, he had no special impression of him. He couldn't even remember what the other person looked like.
"This time, Wushan Territory won a great victory in defeating the Bolant Bandits. It is said that Lord Hamet killed so many people in the battle that even the second leader of the other side almost died under his sword!"
The man named Philip's eyes were full of longing.
Most knights hope to be able to wear armor, hold a sword and kill everyone on the battlefield, but this is just a dream. In reality, not everyone chooses to go to the battlefield.
Because they know that when they arrive on the battlefield, they may die before the enemy arrives.
"Lord Hammet has followed Lord Viscount for many years. This time, thanks to his outstanding military exploits, he was finally promoted from Honorary Knight to Baron. Stranglethorn Vale is his territory."
Hearing the admiration in Fili's tone, Roning smiled.
If he remembered correctly, in the battle where Boulder City besieged the army of thieves, Hamet didn't even meet the second leader, Holden?
I just don't know whether these words are bragging from outsiders or come from the other party's mouth.
Fili glanced at the carriage where Les was and couldn't help but say, "I see that you seem to be familiar with Baron Hammett. Now his only son and his lover are in the team. Do you want to meet them?"
Roning frowned.
The only son and the lover, putting these two people together, seems to be a drama of an illegitimate child becoming a legal child?
The laws of this world clearly stipulate that illegitimate children have no inheritance rights.
Could it be that Hammett had just become a baron and dared to challenge the law? Roning shook his head. He was not interested in such things. "It is not a good habit to disclose the identity information of the employer to outsiders."
After saying this, he walked into the pitched tent.
Philip scratched his head, but couldn't get any useful information.
However, it was not without gain. He knew that the Baron's identity was not ordinary from the fact that Roning showed no respect at all towards the Baron.
As for revealing the identity of their employer, they were only asked by Knight Willy to send Les and Pike to Stranglethorn Vale, which could not be considered an employment relationship.
As night fell, the camp became busy for a while.
However, after everyone finished their meal, they all went back to the carriage to sleep, and only some people stayed outside to keep watch.
Inside the tent, Roning sat cross-legged on the bed.
A piece of Warcraft leather was neatly placed on the small table in front of him. At this moment, he was concentrating on drawing the spell scroll of the third-level magic wind of detection.
Today, Elrond focuses on the production of magical potions, and the output of spell scrolls is much less than before.
In order to generate income, Luo Ning had to take over part of it.
After all, he is now a wizard, so he should be able to try to make a sixth-level spell scroll.
It’s a pity that the production cost of a sixth-level spell scroll is about five hundred gold coins, and the few gold coins in Roning’s pocket are only enough for him to fail dozens of times.
It would be better to consider level three or four spell scrolls, which can make a lot of money if the success rate is higher.
Drawing spell patterns on Warcraft leather not only tests the magician's concentration, but also involves the magician's communication with the elements between heaven and earth when drawing.
This unique sense of immersion makes the magician's senses to the outside world very keen.
"Rustle~"
Late at night, in addition to the sound of wind blowing through the leaves and the breathing of the caravan members around him, Ronin suddenly heard many footsteps.
Hmm? He was distracted, and with a hissing sound, the magic leather was impacted by the distracted magic power, and a piece of it was burned off as if it was burned by fire.
Dozens of gold coins were wasted.
His success rate in making spell scrolls tonight was 100%. He thought he would be done with it after making this one, but he didn't expect to fail once, which made him very unhappy.
But thinking of the continuous footsteps outside, Roning released the wind of detection.
The early detection range of the Wind of Detection was at most two or three hundred meters. The magician could amplify the power of basic magic. Now Ronin can use it to sense the situation within a range of nearly one thousand meters.
I saw a group of people slowly approaching the camp about four or five hundred meters away.
"robber?"
After traveling for so long, this was the first time he encountered a robber on the road.
"Tom, David."
Two figures immediately appeared outside the tent, "Sir!"
"Go and inform White and Fili to be on the alert. There is a group of people approaching from 400 to 500 meters southwest."
"stand up!"
He patted Fili and White on the face.
The two of them had been traveling on the caravan for many years and had very light sleep patterns, so the slap startled them and they woke up immediately.
"Is it you?"
"What's the matter that keeps you awake so late at night?"
They were a little unhappy to be disturbed during their rest, but neither of them showed it, because they knew that the person in front of them was the young man's follower.
"My master asked me to tell you that there are enemies approaching four or five hundred meters to the southwest. I advise you to be on guard immediately."
enemy?
The two men saw that the people who were guarding the periphery had not fallen asleep, and then looked at the tent, and suddenly felt that Tom was making fun of them.
"Brother, don't tell me that your parents can know what is happening four or five hundred meters away from the tent?"
"Yeah, it's pitch black, where is there anyone?" Although White was cautious and looked carefully in the distance, he did not find any movement.
Obviously, neither of them took it seriously.
But at this moment, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Sharp arrows flew through the air and directly killed the two night watchmen standing on the periphery.
Everyone was startled. Philip and White also changed their expressions and immediately shouted loudly: "Robbers...Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Suddenly, the camp was in chaos.
At this moment, with the sound of rapid and dense footsteps, dozens of figures rushed over quickly and surrounded the entire camp.
It was impossible to escape at this point.
"Quick, focus!"
Fili and White shouted, and the chaotic camp gradually became a little more orderly.
The men stood together, either with their swords drawn or their spears in hand, on guard.
But among this team of more than 20 people, there were only 10 with some ability, and it was obvious that they were no match for the opponent.
"Haha, I didn't expect you guys could still stay calm."
Just as laughter was heard, a tall man in light armor strode forward.
"They are from the Wolf Slayer Mercenary Group."
Philip had sharp eyes and recognized the person's identity at a glance, and his face darkened.
"Captain Bauer, since when did the Wolf Slayer Mercenaries start robbing people?"
"robbery?"
The leader of the mercenary group, Bauer, sneered: "The mercenary group doesn't do such things."
"Then why did you kill our people?"
White warned in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid of offending Knight Willy?"
Mercenary groups are equivalent to "civilian forces". Some mercenary groups are strong and can even serve as mercenaries, but generally speaking, they have a cooperative relationship with the nobles and rarely provoke the nobles.
Knight Willy is an honorary knight loyal to the Dennis family. He is also the lowest noble, and the mercenary group usually gives him some face.
"I'm sorry, but everyone here has to die today."
Bauer said grimly: "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for accepting someone in your team who shouldn't be accepted."
White and Philip were both shocked.
Swish! Everyone turned to look at Roning. Some had doubts in their eyes, but some had hatred in their eyes.
Taking in three people for the night brought disaster to the entire team? "What are you looking at me for?"
Luo Ning felt puzzled. Even if someone wanted to assassinate him, they would not arrange such a low-profile mercenary group. (End of this chapter)
