Chapter 14 Utilization

In a sense, it was the large caravan in front that thundered Lin Kaixin's mercenary group, but if it weren't for the large caravan with 300 people, the robbers wouldn't have dispatched thousands of people to siege at one time.

In the battles of this era, even if the level and equipment are worse, and the advantage of five times the force is enough to allow the robbers to act.

If the robber's spies detect that there are only more than 30 people in the caravan and dispatch up to three or five hundred people, they will look down on Lin Kaixin very much.

After this battle, the task of cleaning the battlefield was almost completed by Lin Kaixin's mercenary group. The large caravan just cleaned up the wounded robbers near them - killed them after the knife.

The reason why they don’t compete with Lin Kaixin’s mercenary group is because they are afraid. Although there are many people on their side, they may not be able to fight. A steel armored knight can at most deal with three mercenaries of the same level. If they encounter more than five mercenaries of the same level, they will suffer a loss.

However, three or five steel armor knights can compete with thirty or fifty mercenaries of the same level. Ten steel armor knights can fight 100 mercenaries of the same level and look for teeth all over the ground. Similarly, the combat power of more than thirty steel armor knights is actually far above that of 30 leather armor mercenaries.

Not to mention that the large mercenary group has just experienced a battle and killed several people and dozens of wounded people. The combat effectiveness is only two-thirds of the previous battle.

As for the Steel Armor Knights on the opposite side, there were almost no bleeding or injury - there were several internal injuries. Lin Kaixin and Murphy did not even take any treatment. The mercenaries were cured by themselves with one or two points of healing skills. Only some small leaders of the robbers had iron swords, and it was difficult to pierce the anti-spike suit. Those who suffered internal injuries were also hit by a wooden stick in their body or head.

During the final cleaning process, most of the time was handled by Lin Kaixin. After the war, Lin Kaixin was promoted to two levels, and reached level 19, and learned the two active skills of shield strike and strong bow. Lin Kaixin added three points, leaving 8 skill points.

However, the level of the mercenary group's combat personnel has been upgraded to one level this time. For example, Molin Murphy, now at level 23 and 22, which is also the result of three battles. For the mercenary group, there are relatively few such frequent battles.

Of course, it can also be understood that the recent spring famine has not been easy for robbers. We can only robbers more frequently - do we want to succeed in robbery, get wealth, do we want to fail, lose part of the population, and save food.

The cleaning process also includes cutting wood and burning the corpse. This time, there were more than 600 robbers who died. When the fire started, the black smoke soared into the sky. In addition, several people died in the large caravan, and even the weapons and leather armor were taken away by the robbers. For the corpses of these people, the large caravan held a special cremation ceremony - there is no concept of a public cemetery in this world. If it is in the wild, it will basically be buried wherever it dies. If the city residents die, they will be cremated in the yard.

Relatively speaking, there are also benefits, otherwise the custom of burial is deepened, and the dead and living people will compete for land. Just like ancient China, there is not much wealth, but most of them were brought into the cemetery by princes and nobles. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao even organized a downward fighting force to dig out the wealth of ancient kings, princes, generals and ministers to serve as military expenses.

The reason why this world does not advocate grand funeral is very simple. Living people are almost unable to take care of it. Moreover, there is no religion in this world, and no one believes in God, let alone the concept of heaven and hell in the next life, let alone the concept of heaven and hell.

The reason is that religion also needs a peaceful environment to develop believers. Every year, it is difficult to survive if you believe in religion. Therefore, unless there is a powerful person who can convince people and give their believers immediate benefits - otherwise, he will probably be dragged out by the lord to behead him.

Although the large caravan and Lin Kaixin's small mercenary group cooperated to kill the enemy once, their defense against the opponent did not disappear because of this. Lin Kaixin felt that he was afraid of hitting both sides of the wolf. Lin Kaixin felt that the opponent had a large number of people and the average level was higher. Of course, it was almost the same now. The large caravan felt that Lin Kaixin's equipment was too good, and the steel armored knight was almost at the level of invulnerability.

Although the large caravan lost several companions, it was useless to stay here. After burning the bodies, the team continued to set off, and Lin Kaixin's small caravan followed far behind.

After all, there are very few robber groups that can attack a large caravan of hundreds of people - just like the robbers who attack a large caravan today, actually several robbers joined forces temporarily, otherwise there would be no oil and water on this road that could afford so many robbers.

This is also because Lin Kaixin uses large caravans to open the way. For large caravans, a small caravan with a small number of people but strong enough combat power is not bad. Like today, if a large caravan encounters an attack, the small caravan can come up to rescue the siege at any time.

Although there are more than 30 people, but they are all steel armored knights, they can be regarded as regular troops of the kingdom with more than 600 people. This number cannot be eaten without more than 3,000 robbers. Even if the robbers of 3,000 people can eat, they have to pay a huge price.

The kingdom still regularly suppresses bandits every year. Not to mention three thousand people, there are very few large robber groups with more than a thousand people. With fewer people, they can still cross mountains and ridges and the king's army fight guerrillas. With more people, it will be inconvenient to fight guerrillas.

In this way, the two caravans rushed to the road tacitly. Maybe they killed too many robbers at one time. From the royal city of Warlin, they arrived at the destination of Marin City, and they never encountered robbers. The caravans met several, but most of them were not on the same road. After knowing that Lin Kaixin's caravans sold cheap salt here, they bought some of them. Anyway, salt is a necessity for daily life and mules and horses also need to eat salt (but they often give them cheaper, unprocessed mineral salt). Even if they use cheap salt for their own use, why not buy it?

The day before arriving at Marin City, the large caravan turned to other cities. Molin had known for a long time that the two sides had different roads. It would be nice to be able to use each other for three days. This time, it took five days to arrive at Marin City. It took one day less than Molin expected, and it had a lot to do with the large caravans seizing many robber gangs along the way.

The mercenary group found a hotel in Malin City. In order to save money, the entire mercenary group did not include Lin Kaixin in only four rooms, including two rooms for men, and ten people in each room, and two women, and seven people in each room.
