But he just became the leader, and within a few hours, you were killed. I am already afraid of death, and I don’t want to die.” Dirk said in fear and pleading.

"You should be killed." Owens took over and said that two of his companions died because of these pirates.

"Wouldn't it be better to sell it to slave traders?" said Airen.

Defeated captives can be sold to slave traders, who customize the price based on how strong the captives are.

"Where did you encounter the Shadow Crow Corps?" Walls ignored Owens and Aileyon's words and continued to interrogate because he wanted to know the approximate location of the corps.

"South of Fort Jerbos, sir. I really don't want to mention that place," Dirk replied.

Walls didn't say much. He now knew that it was enough and it was time to go back and rest.

"Come on, guys, we should go back and rest, and prepare to deal with this guy tomorrow." Walls got up and headed for the camp.

When the farmers in the village saw that Walsh and his men defeated a group of pirates near the village, they helped Walsh bury the two dead recruits.

They gave some of the Wals something in return. For these farmers, they didn't have much savings, so their return was some food such as wheat.

In response, Wals refused all of them and did not charge anything, but he recruited a group of young people from the village.

This time, there were a total of eight recruits willing to join his team. They either admired Walls for defeating the pirates, or, like Owens, wanted to go out and make a living.

Whatever the reason for these guys, there were eight new guys in Walls's team. They were the new recruits from Vigia, and the one leading them was the young man with the best archery skills in the village.

"What's your name?" Walls asked.

"Jenks, sir," Jenks replied.

"It is said that your archery skills are the best." Wals said to the young man, who looked only sixteen years old.

"Yes, sir, that's what they say," Jenks said bluntly. He wanted this gentleman to take him away, so he didn't miss any opportunity to show his talents.

"Okay, then let you lead this group of recruits." Walls pointed to the remaining seven Vijia recruits.

"Yes, sir." Jenks said excitedly. He was very happy that he could join Walls' team and command a group of people.

So, according to the rules, Wals paid each person ten dinars in advance, and then allowed them to spend the night in his home. After that, that is, tomorrow they would go to Wocheze with Wals.

After recruiting new soldiers and solving the manpower problem, Walls decided to start dealing with the pirate Dirk. According to what Aileyon said, it would be best to sell this pirate, as Walls was most in need of money right now.

He had just recruited new soldiers, which cost Wals eighty dinars. Now he only had a few dozen dinars in his hands. Fortunately, Wals had ordinary recruits and their wages were very low.

However, Owens had fought in several battles with him and his abilities had been recognized. According to the rules, he should no longer be a rookie. He should now be a skilled light infantryman and his salary should be raised.

There is also a young man from Finrad who also fought with the Walls and he also deserves a raise.

Moreover, the equipment obtained from the pirates he killed was just right for arming his subordinates. Dirk's sword was well polished, so he gave it to himself, and he could also wear the chain armor on his body.

All of Malik's equipment was given to Owens, so that he could become a truly skilled light infantryman. The other one who came out of Finrad also got some pirate equipment.

And Ailen should also get some equipment, but he likes to use a sword, so the pirate's one-handed axe is just carried on his body.

He held the shield in his right hand so he could block easily.

As for the last remaining set of equipment, Walls planned to keep it. These recruits should have some combat experience before they could be given the equipment.

If you really can't make it, just sell it. This chain armor is worth some money and can alleviate the financial crisis first.

Finally, there is the business route. Now the Shadow Crow Corps is suppressing bandits, which is a great opportunity.

These regular troops are suppressing bandits, so these robbers have to restrain themselves. Therefore, if you follow the marching route of the Fifth Corps, the chances of encountering robbers will be smaller. This is a rare opportunity on a continent where robbers are everywhere.

After thinking about the route, Walls fell into a deep sleep.

You must ensure that you have enough energy tomorrow.

As the night faded away, the sunlight of dawn appeared before everyone's eyes.

It's time to get up. Walls, who had just woken up, saw Jenks running towards him with his bow and arrow. It seemed that Jenks really wanted to follow Walls to adventure.

Behind him were seven young men, who were the ones who were willing to follow Wals yesterday. Although they did not have bows and arrows, they also had their own weapons.

"I'm here sir." Jenks said respectfully.

At this time, De Lassel learned his lesson and would not speak directly, but would recite it silently in his mind to prevent Walls from knowing.

You should say, Good morning, honorable master.

[System prompt: Even if you don't interrupt, everyone knows that you are the protagonist.]

"Good, you brought the bow and arrow." said Walls, who thought highly of the young man.

"Of course, sir. This is the bow and arrow that I am best at. How could I not bring it with me?" Jenkins said with his chest straightened.

"Go and bring your men back to the team."

"Okay, boss." Jenks changed the address, and now he was Walls' subordinate.

Walls nodded. Now that there were archers in the team, they could make up for the gap in long-range attacks.

After everyone had prepared their things, Walth and his group began their journey. Although the troop suffered losses in men, there was still an overall increase in numbers.

Of course, there is one more prisoner in the team. Now Walls is considering selling this prisoner to slave traders. Seacock has killed many innocent people, so he deserves such treatment.

The group quickly crossed the bridge near Fort Ismorola and now they continued to head north. If nothing unexpected happened, Wals would be able to reach Wocheze soon.

But accidents always happen, so Walls decided to go to Ferchen to hire some new soldiers and increase the team to about twenty people.

Following this route, perhaps he would not encounter bandits on the road, because the Shadow Crow Corps had already suppressed the bandits near Jerbo Castle, and now they would definitely go to the vicinity of Ferchen to search for bandits.

If the Shadow Crows could think the same as he did, then the safety of Walls would be greatly improved.

Thinking of this, Wals suddenly raised his head and saw a forest in the distance. To the west of the forest was Ferchen.

There are many valleys and rivers in the Nord Kingdom, which are very suitable for the Nords to fight on foot. In the forest, the cavalry's advantage is difficult to play, but the infantry can be stationed here.

And now near the forest, Wals could clearly see a flag. It was a blue flag with a crow painted on it.

When Walsh saw the flag, he felt that his inference was correct, and he and his companions knew exactly who was wearing the flag.

In the Nordic Kingdom, this flag is known to everyone. It is the flag of the Nordic King, King Ragnar.

The army carrying this flag belongs to King Ragnar's army, and now everyone can instinctively think that this army is King Ragnar's Shadow Crow Legion.

Who is his leader? Everyone thought of this question at the same time.

"If you ask too many questions, they must be royal relatives." The Baron complained in his heart and looked down on these idiots.

The leader of the Shadow Crow Corps could easily collude with bandits. Because they were a military force, King Ragnar would always give leadership to people he trusted.

But although these people had the trust of King Ragnar, they did not hate the bandits as much as his own men.

The leaders of the gangs would not fight against the bandits if they were given money. This behavior happened many times.

However, because the army is full of people who hate bandits, there are always people who expose the crimes of their leaders.

As a result, the leader of this corps is constantly changing. It is unknown who will be the leader this time.

Just when everyone was confused, a cavalryman suddenly appeared from the horizon, holding the flag of King Ragnar.

This is to show that he is a soldier of King Ragnar.

"Hello, sir, I am a cavalryman of King Ragnar's Shadow Crow Regiment." The cavalryman said to Walls wearing a helmet.

Wales was the only one riding a horse in this team, so the cavalry directly regarded Wales as the leader of this team.

Apparently, he guessed right. "Hello, what can I do for you?" Walls replied politely. He had to leave a good impression on King Ragnar's soldiers.

"Our scouts have discovered you, and now our commander has asked the leader of this team to meet him. I hope you won't refuse." The cavalryman said straightforwardly.

"I understand. Shall we go now?" Walls answered carefully.

He didn't know why the commander of the legion asked to see him, but Walsh believed that since the other party was so polite to invite him over, there must be no problem.
