Chapter 117: Spoils of War and Adventurers

"Thank you, warriors!" The captain of the soldiers, the sergeant, greeted the scout squad and thanked them, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid our soldiers and I would have been wiped out!" ”

The sergeant said with some trepidation, "I really didn't expect it! How dare these Forsaken attack us! They also have necromancers in their ranks! Could it be that after death, even mages can become more numerous? ”

"Compared to us, you are the real warriors!" Scarface said with a serious face, "You are on the front line of the fight against the natural disaster, protecting us Lordaeron people, and we should all thank you. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I'm Sergeant Tim Anderton, one of the Crusader captains, and thank you again for helping us." The sergeant bowed to them in thanks, and then he looked around at the battlefield.

"Alas, look at these young soldiers." "Many of them are still children, and now they are also sent to the front. ”

"This is war, a war between the living and the dead, and we as humans cannot retreat, or there will be no place for us to settle down in Tirisfa." Scarface also said helplessly.

"Corporal Alta, you lead your squad of soldiers to the guard tower quickly, let Captain Perion Company come over to reinforce us, clean up the battlefield by the way, and collect the corpses of our soldiers."

Corporal Alta accepted the order, but she didn't leave, and she found Harrow in the crowd, a member of the scout team who wielded a bow and arrow.

"Thank you for saving me." Arta saluted the risk-wielding adventurer in front of him, "Thank you for saving the other members of our team and helping us repel the attacks of the undead, thank you." ”

"No thanks, being a Lordaeron is what I'm supposed to do." Harrow's face was still cold, and he nodded at the female corporal in front of him, not saying much.

After giving another military salute, Corporal Alta led the remaining four soldiers of the squad towards the watchtower at the top of the hillside.

"Serol." Sergeant Tim called out to another corporal, "Gather the remaining soldiers, clean up the battlefield, sort out all the loot weapons and armor, and gather all the loot here." ”

The corporal saluted and left, and with a dozen remaining soldiers, he began to clean up the battlefield, cleaning up the weapons and armor used by those who had been forgotten.

Hamilton stepped forward and muttered in Scarface's ear, Scarface nodded, and he said to Sergeant Tim, "Now that it's safe here, let's leave." ”

"We're a bunch of adventurers, and we're targeting the town of Nanhai, so we're leaving."

"Wait, it'll be right away." Sergeant Tim did not agree to their departure, and continued, "You deserve the most of the spoils of this battle, and when my soldiers have collected them, you can take them with you." In this way, you will make up for the losses caused by this battle. ”

There is an unwritten rule among adventurers that one is to be paid a certain amount of money after helping others. It doesn't matter how much money you have, humans are not a very powerful race in this world, so when you go out on an adventure, if you encounter a human in difficulty, the adventurer will choose to help them, and only need to take a part of the reward afterwards.

"No, we don't." Scarface explained, "We only came to help the Crusaders because we admired your actions, and it wasn't about the loot. ”

The reward can be trophies, other possessions, maintenance equipment, etc., which are helpful to the adventurer.

In fact, the trophies that Sergeant Tim refers to are the weapons and armor used by some warriors from the undead. Iron is now a rare commodity in most of Lordaeron's human-controlled areas. The Scourge controls a vast array of minerals, enslaved human slaves, mined them for minerals, refined and crafted weapons and armor to arm their puppet skeleton warriors, and used them to destroy humanity.

The humans destroy these cannon fodder, remove their armor and recraft it into armor suitable for human armies as trophies.

Adventurers generally don't have very good equipment, and any weapon made by a blacksmith shop costs dozens of silver coins to buy, and the quality can only be described as average.

Therefore, the adventurer's equipment has always been relatively shabby. It has to be said that the adventurer's weapons are also the cost of their food, although they are shabby, they are easy to use. Few adventurers choose to swap their weapons, but it's not too much of a problem to stock up on some rare metals or good armaments.

"Don't you really need it?" Sergeant Tim looked at them a little strangely and continued. Or pick some to bring, if you find it inconvenient to carry, you can put it with us. Next time when you come back, just come back and get it. ”

"No, thank you for your kindness." Scarface smiled and said, "We don't need it yet." In contrast, the Crusaders are the ones who need the armor and weapons the most, and you need to equip the recruits. ”

"Well, thank you, thank you." Sergeant Tim gave them a salute and continued. "Are you going to Nanhai Town?"

Scarface nodded.

"Have you walked this path before?" "It's not very peaceful over there, so far we've only seen two caravans of goblins passing through there," said Sergeant Tim, pointing to the end of the Haru Gorge and the Silver Pine Forest. Moreover, we also sent soldiers to reconnoitre. ”

"It's the territory of the gnolls right now." Sergeant Tim said helplessly, "We humans have lost that land now, and those gnolls have no one to take care of. They are now found in all corners of the Silver Pine Forest, where they are growing and growing. According to the goblin caravans, the Scourge will also cooperate with the gnolls to attack all the caravans that come and go. ”

"If you want to pass through the Silver Pine Forest, I advise you to wait for the goblin caravan to return. One has passed before, and another one has not left. You can join them temporarily, get paid, and get the town of Dananhai safely. ”

The sergeant suggested.

As good as it sounds, Scarface refuses because they're not really risk-takers.

"Sorry, we have to go." Scarface shrugged his shoulders and said, "Our employer has set a very strict arrival time for us, and we have to feel the town of Nanhai after half a month. ”

"That's a shame." Sergeant Tim also said helplessly, and then he suddenly asked, "Why don't you join our crusade?" I don't make much money, but..."

Tim quickly closed his mouth and smiled wryly, showing no desire to continue. He obviously realized his mistake, he only saw the strength of Scarface and the others at first, but he didn't expect that their current identity was adventurers.

Adventurers are those who chase wealth and risk life, and they are not content with the status quo.

"Alright then, do you need me to send a soldier to show you the way around?" "We know the roads here well," Sergeant Tim suggested. ”

"No, we can do it ourselves." Scarface politely declined.

"Alright then, I wish you all the best of luck!" Tim saluted again.

Scarface bowed to him, then turned and walked into the woods with the scout team.
