Chapter 41: The Risk of a Double-Edged Sword



"Borcha, are you familiar with this place?" Walls said. He wanted to communicate well with his scout. After all, there would be many opportunities to use him in the future. This was a very normal thing.

If you want to defeat the minority with the majority, it is important to understand yourself and others.

Knowing your own strengths, understanding your own strengths and weaknesses, and understanding the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, you can play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and fully unleash the strength of your own army.

"Of course, I am familiar with the whole continent."

Bolcha said, however, he sounded like he was bragging when he spoke. After all, saying that he was familiar with the entire continent was something that even those who had traveled on the continent for many years did not dare to say.

When Walls heard this, he just smiled and took it as a joke.

Then, Wals talked to Bolcha about the things happening in Halma.

They quickly entered the city and stayed in an inn. With previous experience, Wals realized that his army still had certain shortcomings.

For example, the group of bandits he encountered on the grassland was a problem that he needed to pay attention to. He must quickly expand his army. Only in this way could he ensure that his team would be able to drive away these bandits next time.

He felt his pocket, which contained some money.

He will use the money to recruit a group of mercenaries, which is his capital to fight against this group of bandits, but he also knows that what he is looking for are some loyal warriors. If he meets some people who are greedy for money, then when he finds the treasure, these people may rebel against him, kill him, and then divide the treasure equally.

This is something people often do, and unfortunately, if you are a mercenary, you should not care so much during this time of war.

Many mercenaries are not trustworthy unless their employers are very powerful, such as the six countries on the continent.

Walsh strolled around the tavern and saw a prairie man drinking. He was a man with a beard.

Walls walked up to him.

"Hello, friend, would you like to have a drink with me?" This was a man in his forties.

"Of course, it feels better to drink with someone," Walls said. He became interested in this person.

"I am Bestur, son of Azabe, grandson of Bedazan. Since you are not a barbarian, you will most likely know my family lineage. The Khergit people in the highlands, the Shamier tribe, the Dulan clan, the Ubein family, the valley of Pentas, you may guess why my home is so far away."

Bestul began to tell his own story. Like the companions recruited by Walls before, he was also a man with a story.

"As far back as anyone can remember, our people have been in conflict with the Humyang tribe who settled in another valley. Many people on both sides died in this conflict, including my two brothers. The Khan ordered us to end the conflict.

Saving manpower for the war in Calradia, but knowing my request, I wanted to avenge my two brothers, I ambushed and killed a Humu sheepman passing by the mountains, and I rode away from my village that night.

I didn't even have time to say goodbye to my father. I will stay in Calradia for a year or two, until the Khan comes and forgets about this matter. Of course, the Humu people will not forget, but this is the price of my honor. "

"During this period, I am willing to accept any opportunity to make a living with my sword." Bestul really needs an opportunity to make a living now.

"That's it. I can provide you with what you need."

Wals did not give up such an opportunity. He knew that Bestul was a brave warrior and he would reduce a lot of dangers he would encounter on the road.

"Ah, this is a very generous proposal!" A smile appeared on Bestul's face, it was his smile of victory.

Seeing that he had recruited another warrior, Walls felt that his chances of finding the treasure were just a little bit greater.

But he also knew the strength of the Fierce Fang Wolf Bandit Gang. If they all went out, he would be in great danger, which he could not tolerate. He knew that he had to continue recruiting some people.

But he still had to look for the treasure, and Walls was worried that these people would kill him when they found the treasure, and then divide the treasure equally. If that happened, Walls would be in danger again.

"But if you can't get through this dangerous situation now, then you'll just be killed." Just when Wals was unable to make a decision, Wo's Golden Finger spoke. This was Wo's Golden Finger coming out to solve the problem.

"Yes, you are right. It seems that I still have to recruit some soldiers." Wals said to Wo's Golden Finger in his heart.

At this time he also saw a man with a sword at his waist. He was a tall man.

He had a scar on his face, which made him look even more terrifying. His every move at this moment was different from others. Walls knew at a glance that he was a mercenary.

Fusli was a mercenary. The scar on his face was left when he was fighting with a group of bandits. It was a very fierce battle. They encountered a powerful bandit, and this scar was left by him.

"Hello!" Walls walked over and greeted the mercenary directly. Beside him were the mercenary's subordinates. They were all Fusli's close partners. Having such mercenaries has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that they have a certain tacit understanding when fighting, but tacit understanding can sometimes become a disadvantage.

For example, their captain can command their subordinates at any time. If they encounter some special situations, these mercenaries will point their swords at their employers.

This is intolerable, but it does happen. If Wall had the opportunity to turn them into his confidants, then perhaps this would not have happened, but they are a group, and it is a difficult task to integrate such a large group into his team.

Walls also knew that he didn't have enough opportunities to recruit these people into his own team of trusted people.
