Chapter 13 Departure
When Victor arrived at the temporary camp south of Blackcastle Town, Nelson and the entire War Bear Mercenary Group were already ready to go.
Everything in the camp is arranged in an orderly manner. The War Bear mercenaries either wear mail armor and hold spears and shields, or hold crossbows and daggers hanging on their waists. There are also some strong men wearing old leather armor and holding four-meter spears.
, should be the militia selected by Nelson from among the people in the territory.
More than 300 territorial citizens surrounded more than 20 carriages filled with supplies. Each of them wore a sheepskin coat and a thick hooded cloak issued by the mercenary group. This time, it was a long journey to the new territory.
, the weather is cold and freezing, these warm clothes are really important for the people who need to trek for more than ten days.
Victor secretly nodded. The War Bear Mercenary Group is indeed a veteran mercenary group with rich experience. Facing the migration of hundreds of people, it not only has the ability to coordinate the overall situation, but also pays attention to some details. It is also powerful along the way.
The knights accompanying him made Victor full of confidence in this journey.
"Good day, sir. You are here." When Gru saw Victor riding a horse to the camp, he immediately nodded and ran over, showing a flattering smile to Victor.
"Well, where is Nelson?" Victor was secretly amused. He didn't expect that Gru, who looked ferocious and majestic, could have such a bad side.
"Boss, oh no, it's the captain. The captain is arranging the outpost." Gru suddenly realized that he was no longer a mercenary but a guard. He quickly changed his words and tried to act like a guard.
"Well, take me to find him." Victor ordered.
When they arrived at the center of the camp, Nelson was giving instructions to his sister Lilia and several capable mercenaries. When he saw Victor coming, he immediately came up to him and saluted Victor, while Lilia and a few capable mercenaries
A mercenary also hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"You guys arrange the tasks first." Victor raised his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite.
"Yes." Nelson turned around and said to Lilia and the others: "You should set off now. Remember to mark every three kilometers. When traveling about seventy kilometers every day, you will start to survey suitable places for camping.
Place. Bring the red-eyed crow with you so that you can quickly contact the rear team if anything happens."
The red-eyed crow is a bird commonly used by the War Bear Mercenary Group for communication. This kind of bird attaches great importance to its mate, and they seem to have a strange connection with each other. No matter where you take the red-eyed crow, it will
Can fly back to his partner.
"Don't worry, brother." Lilia agreed crisply.
Before leaving, the young and beautiful female mercenary secretly glanced at the young and handsome lord with a blushing face. Although it was not the first time she saw Victor, the girl blushed and her heart beat every time they met.
"You let Lilia lead the scout team, aren't you afraid that she will be in danger?" After Lilia left the camp with the scout team, Victor asked Nelson with concern.
"Sir, Lilia is our best shooter, and the few old guys who are traveling with us are also our most experienced scouts, so there will be no problem." Nelson replied confidently.
Nelson deliberately pushed Lilia away. He understood his sister's thoughts, but as a nobleman, how could Victor fall in love with Lilia?
In fact, Nelson doesn't mind Lilia and Victor having a romantic relationship. Most female mercenaries hope to become the lovers of nobles. If they can become pregnant with the blood of nobles, their offspring may become knights.
, if you are lucky, you can even form a new knight family.
A female mercenary who is pregnant with aristocratic blood will marry immediately, and the husband the female mercenary chooses will not be disgusted with it, but will be very happy, because this may be the only way for ordinary people to change their destiny.
However, you don't expect a noble to have a long-term love for a woman of ordinary blood. Therefore, in order to cause Lilia to fall into emotional pain in the future, it is better to block her mind now.
"Sir, Lord Bruce Knight has arrived with a team of cavalry." Gru rushed over and shouted loudly.
Walking out of the camp, Victor saw a group of cavalry and a carriage arriving outside the camp. The leader was a middle-aged man riding a war horse. He was wearing an exquisite full-body leather armor and had a serious face. He was exactly
Blues Knight.
"Sir Bruce, I'm glad to see you again. Since you rescued me from bandits last time, I haven't had the chance to thank you in person." Victor greeted the knight with a smile on his face.
"Lord Baron, you're welcome, this is my duty." Bruce dismounted and gave Victor a knightly salute, and responded warmly.
During this trip, Victor specially sent someone to send 5,000 gold soles to the Bruce Knight, which was also a huge sum of money for the knight.
While the two were chatting, Victor felt a familiar gaze looking over him. He turned around and found that the long-legged beauty guard Nicole beside Sylvia was riding a horse and looking at him blankly. When she
Seeing Victor looking over, he immediately looked away.
"Nicole, I didn't expect you to come too." Victor was a little surprised. He originally thought that he would never interact with this beautiful trainee knight again, and Victor was slightly sad about this.
"Lord Baron, I have been ordered by my lady to accompany Master Edwin from the Silver White Tower to your territory this time." Nicole said to Victor with a straight face. Obviously, she was still worried about the last incident at Rose Manor.
The dinner was full of regrets.
Victor didn't pay attention to the little mood of the female guard at this time. "Silver White Tower" and "Master Edwin", these two words made him feel moved.
The silver-white tower, referred to as the White Tower, is located in the Kingdom of El. It is a holy place for anthropologists. It is said that it has the richest collection of books in the human world and condenses all the knowledge of the human world.
In human society, there are two organizations that impart knowledge, one is the church's monastery, and the other is the silver tower.
The monastery selects talents for all believers, including civilians. However, the monastery only trains talents for the church, which means that people from the monastery can only become clergy of the church.
The White Tower is just the opposite. The White Tower only recruits students from nobles and trains talents for the entire upper class of mankind.
In a noble family, only the eldest son can inherit the title and property, and the other children can only find their own way out. Among them, the noble children who awaken the blood of knights will become the knights of the great lord.
Those noble children who are unable to awaken the blood of knights are often sent by their fathers or brothers to the Silver-White Tower to learn knowledge and become scholars.
These people generally became the king's administrative ministers or the lord's staff, and outstanding ones were even granted the title of court nobles.
Most of the palace ministers in the human kingdom are from the White Tower, so the Silver White Tower has a huge influence on the upper class of human society.
However, the tuition fees in the Silver White Tower are also very expensive. Children of dilapidated nobles who are unable to awaken their knight bloodline and do not have the money to study in the White Tower can usually only marry into other noble families or big businessman families and become a tool to improve their bloodline. Victor is
This situation.
Victor has not heard of the reputation of Master Edwin, but those who can be called masters among White Tower scholars are knowledgeable or authorities in a certain field. These people have a transcendent status in the White Tower.
Now a master from a silver-white tower wants to go with Victor, so Victor naturally pays attention to him.
Just when Victor was about to ask Nicole to introduce Master Edwin, he saw an energetic old man wearing a white star-patterned cloth robe emerging from a carriage nearby.
Victor was about to step forward to salute when he heard the old man's loud smile: "You must be Victor from the Wimbledon family. Only when I saw you did I understand why little Nicole asked Sylvia for an escort."
I, an old man, am going to your territory."
Upon hearing this, Nicole's pretty face like white porcelain immediately turned into a ripe red apple.
"Victor has met the master." Victor awkwardly stepped forward and bowed.
"Okay, Victor, I'm going to be a guest in your territory. You won't be surprised, right?" Edwin said to Victor with a smile.
"Victor is honored to be traveling with Master. How can I be surprised?" Victor said quickly: "Master, please let me know if there is anything else you need to prepare. We can set off at any time."
"Everything has been arranged. We can leave now. I can't wait to see the scenery of the Centaur Hills." Edwin touched his gray beard with a look of anticipation on his face.
Victor glanced at Bruce Knight and saw Bruce nodding towards him. Victor ordered Nelson beside him: "Let's go!"
Nelson turned and walked back to the camp. After a while, a long horn sounded in the camp, and then everyone in the camp began to move.
