Soon, he passed a few days, and during this period the wounded in his troops recovered quickly.
And what he was worried about did not happen. The soldiers did not come to search again, and after the last search, the Snow Wolf incident was slowly diluted by time. Gradually, not many people mentioned this matter.
Wals could be said to be relieved about this. The snow wolf in the cellar was alive and well, but the longer it dragged on, the more worried Wals was about whether it would be discovered.
The hotel owner sent people to the cellar to get things several times, and Walls and James personally helped them to get them. The request they made was to add a dish to the dinner in the evening. After all, working for nothing would arouse other people's suspicion.
Only in this way can we ensure that the snow wolf will not be discovered.
Just a few days later, Walls recruited 10 mercenaries from the tavern. The combat effectiveness of these 10 mercenaries was relatively weak, so naturally, the hiring price of these mercenaries would be lower.
They wore leather armor, and a few wore chain mail, which made up for some of their shortcomings.
These 10 mercenaries cost Wals a total of 1,000 dinars, leaving Wals with more than 2,000 dinars left.
Wals knew that he could earn more money in Zhivadin. This week's salary had already been paid, although it was only one hundred pairs of dinars. However, as the number of troops increased, the weekly expenses would be a huge sum.
Walsh led his troops out of the city, and the snow wolves were secretly packed into a cargo box. When they arrived at the city gate, Walsh bribed the soldiers guarding the city, and the soldiers immediately relaxed the search after receiving the money.
They just took a casual look. As for the success of Walsh's bribery and the fact that the soldier bribed by Goering was not caught, Wilder thought that this matter was made up by Fleischer.
But this thing is true, maybe Wilder is pretending to be confused.
But no matter what, Wals left the city and headed towards Zhivadin, south of Kulau.
"I haven't had a good exercise these days, and I can't stand it anymore." Jack picked up his weapon and said carelessly, and Aileyen and others also smiled after hearing this.
What Jack said was right. Ailen and the others felt the same way. Now they really wanted to find a group of bandits to loosen up their muscles.
But it just so happened that there was just such a group of bandits who blocked Wales' way.
When Walth's troops reached the woods near the village of Rebach, a group of bandits suddenly appeared.
There were more than thirty of them in total. Although their equipment was not very sophisticated, it was obvious that they were a group of ordinary bandits, not authentic snowfield bandits.
The bandit leader stepped forward and said, "Pay me the toll, and then you can pass."
Jack is a warmonger. "You don't want us to pay, but we have your head."
When Walls heard what Jack said, he agreed with him. He rode out on his hunting horse and said, "You should get out of my way. Otherwise, your head will be moved."
These few words frightened the bandit leader and his men. What was going on today?
A caravan that just came out of Roma Castle said the same thing. The robbers were concerned about their equipment, so they did not rob that caravan. But at this time, they encountered another such caravan, which was very strange.
No! This time I will definitely show my dignity.
The bandit leader saw that this group of people were not as well-equipped as the previous caravan, so he plucked up his courage.
"Brothers, these guys are too arrogant. We have to teach them a lesson." The bandit leader shouted to his men.
This sentence was very intimidating. They had not encountered a caravan for several days. If they did not blackmail this caravan, why did they come out as bandits?
For example, the caravan they encountered just now should not have been allowed to pass.
Walsh looked at the bandits and saw that they seemed to have a strong fighting spirit, but so what?
Wales has not been idle these days. He has trained his swordsmanship well. Facing a robber like this, Wales feels that he can fight ten people at once.
Aileyen, Jack and others also went through a series of fierce battles, and their martial arts were naturally greatly improved.
Of course they are not afraid of such a battle.
The mercenaries hired by Wals were also looking forward to performing well in front of their new employers. When they saw that the equipment of these bandits was just some ordinary stuff, he knew that this was a good opportunity.
Seeing that his team's morale was also strong, Walls knew that he was sure to win this battle and there would be no heavy casualties.
"Brothers, charge." The bandit leader drew out his sword and pointed it forward. Immediately, more than 30 bandits rushed over shouting. At most, only a few of them were wearing leather armor, and the weapons in their hands were ordinary daggers.
That's no comparison to the battle-hardened Vols team.
This group of bandits had little combat experience and were completely undisciplined; they simply charged at Wals's troops recklessly.
Wals drew his sword and rode his hunting horse to charge forward first. The sword flew, and soon three robbers died under Wals's sword.
But this did not dampen the morale of these stupid bandits. They still rushed forward as usual, looking fearless.
Airen was also wearing his chain armor, which could provide him with better defense. At least the daggers of these robbers could hardly hurt him.
Airen thrust out his sharp sword, which pierced directly through the chest of a robber, and blood gushed out of the robber's chest.
Jack raised his Moon Blade Axe and swung it down, splitting the head of a bandit apart.
Mathilde's Nord sword was no pushover either. She fought with the momentum of a Nord. With a strong gust of wind, Mathilde's Nord sword cut the neck of a bandit. The bandit rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
Jenks drew his bow, his one eye already fixed on a target, a hapless bandit, for when he died they had no idea who had killed him.
As Jenks let go of his own bowstring, a deadly arrow pierced the air and pierced one of the robbers' eyes. He only saw blood spurting out of the eye next to his own.
Nothing more is known after that, for one of the Vols' soldiers took his life.
Wals' mercenaries raised their shields and coordinated well, not giving the bandits any chance to take advantage.
Therefore, a pile of corpses was piled up in front of them.
Everyone showed up, but there was one person in Walth's army who did not show up.
There were endless screams, all coming from the robbers on the opposite side.
Hearing the screams, James clenched the stick in his hand tighter.
James now only had a stick in his hand. He just held the stick, and sweat dripped from his palms. He was not afraid of these robbers. These robbers who robbed civilians were not worthy of his sympathy at all.
But he still hesitated. James was kind, and if he was asked to kill someone, he would have to think carefully.
When the battle was halfway through, the bandits realized that these people were not to be provoked. They looked at the corpses on the ground and realized that all the corpses were their own people.
They suddenly realized.
Run, run! But it's too late.
Because they were surrounded at this time, the bandit leader had already been killed by Wals, and the remaining bandits were wiped out one by one.
This was the first battle after Walsh and his men set out. In this battle, only some of Walsh's troops suffered minor injuries.
From this we can see that the combat effectiveness of Wals' troops has been greatly improved. This is the result of Wals' troops fighting again and again. Of course, this is also due to the contribution of the soldiers hired by Wals.
This group of bandits are simply the worst among all the bandits. Their fighting ability is not even worth mentioning. They are not the real snowfield bandits.
If they encountered a robber like Wade again, Walls felt that if the number of people was a little larger, his troops would be in danger of being wiped out.
In fact, there are plenty of robbers like this on this continent, and their numbers are only increasing.
Although Wals has not encountered them now, it does not mean that he will not encounter them in the future. For example, on the Kugit grassland, the appearance of large groups of grassland bandits is a nightmare for caravans.
The grassland bandits are highly mobile and can easily catch up with a caravan. That’s not all. If they encounter a large caravan and they don’t have enough strength to defeat it, they will just follow behind it.
Gradually, more and more grassland bandits will follow behind them, because their high mobility means that they have no chance of being left behind by the caravan.
When the number of bandits reaches a point where they can destroy the caravan, they can kill or capture all members of the caravan alive. As for the money and goods, they will divide them according to their own rules.
This approach could even kill some of the small lords of the Khergit Khanate. However, this small lord would have to be extremely unlucky, because the lords of the Khergit Khanate were also highly mobile like those bandits.
