That's very badass

Chapter 9 Gnoll Tribe

a week has passed.

Roland recruited a total of 20 imperial recruits and 7 imperial guard recruits.Looking at the experience of the arms group that was about to be full, and the remaining 1 gold, 35 silver and 68 copper, Roland decided to go out of the city tomorrow to find prey, and he still couldn't forget the kobold tribe in his heart.

Roland's two-handed weapon has reached 40 points under the training of a group of sparring partners, and now it has such a majestic feeling when waving it.

As the number of soldiers increased, the Baron observed that Roland and his party were quite good at martial arts, and specially designated a piece of land in the outer city for Roland and his party to use as a camp and provide housing.

When Roland told the baron that they were going to continue to fight, the baron immediately allocated a batch of basic equipment to Roland and his party, including cotton armor, one-handed sword, shield, and bow and arrow, and asked them if they would accept employment.

He also admitted that the activities of aliens have become more and more frequent recently, and something bad might happen, clarifying the risks and Roland's responsibilities.He also proposed to take his son with him, but Roland refused because he would not take a non-soldier to the battlefield.

Roland readily agreed to serve as a mercenary for the barony and fight for him when he was called, but there was no salary.

Roland was satisfied with this. After all, he didn't need to pay a salary, and providing board and lodging was equivalent to taking all his support.

On the second day, Roland took 20 imperial infantrymen, 9 imperial archers, and 8 imperial citizen cavalry (without horses), a total of 37 people, and walked out of the city.

It caused a lot of passers-by to look sideways, seeing that they were neatly arrayed, and the distance between them was exactly the same, and they all guessed which large mercenary army they were soldiers from.As for the baron's private soldiers, although they are powerful and show off their eyes, their lineup is relatively inferior.

The Baron, who was watching from the highest point of the inner castle, spotted their formation for the first time.I have seen many troops of all kinds, but this is the first time I have seen such a neat formation, and I can't help but cast a shadow over my decision to leave them behind.

Fortunately, there are not many of them, they are all human beings, at least
But since the words had been spoken and they had signed an employment contract, he could only pray that they wouldn't have any other ideas.

For Roland, he didn't think so much. What he was thinking about now was working hard to develop so that he could better protect himself.

Yes, he doesn't have any noble sentiments, and even his ambition to unify the continent has been extinguished, because the beast race here is very powerful, and the half-orcs left a deep impression on him last time, which made him feel that this is The Lifetime series is beyond reach.

Now he just wants to acquire a relatively stable piece of land so that he can live a comfortable life, take a few wives by the way, and then wait for the opportunity to act.

Soon, Roland found a small group of kobolds on the map, obviously because he was heading towards the location of the kobold tribe, otherwise it would not be so easy to meet.

This time, he didn't plan to ambush, but charged directly, which was also a team of about 20 troops.

Soon, they were close to the kobolds.

There is no formation, no command, just a simple "Everyone, charge."

"Whoosh whoosh—"

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the six kobolds were instantly killed by a single blow. After experiencing the instant death, these kobolds had no desire to resist at all, and collapsed immediately.

Roland was stunned for a moment. He chased and sighed. He was indeed a kobold. No wonder so many races like to enslave kobolds.If you are weak, you will be enslaved, fully demonstrating the law of the jungle.

Although the kobold ran away immediately, how could the two short legs outrun the wolf-like imperial soldiers.In less than 3 minutes, this farce-like battle ended.

Roland obviously felt that it was a bit boring. Although he cut a child with a sword, he only cut one and it was gone.

Fortunately, I also added proficiency to two-handed weapons. I wanted to come in and open Wushuang, but this is the result?

The battlefield still had to be cleaned. Although the kobolds' crude iron tools were very rubbish, they were still made of iron and could still be sold for money.

I wandered around until noon without encountering any decent opponents.They hunted a lot of prey, collected the fur, removed the bones, sprinkled some coarse salt on the meat by the way, and roasted it for a while. After lunch, they started to wander boringly again.

Soon, they discovered a gnoll tribe with 46 gnolls.It is not yet known whether they are weak mother-in-law gnolls who stayed behind, or a tribe with only so many gnolls.

In a wolf man tribe, the strongest is usually the leader.When the leader dies, the remaining members will fight for power; if there are two or more people of equal strength, they will usually split into several small groups that go their separate ways in order to avoid losing both. .

Power is always the main theme of this group.The strongest gnolls are the clan leaders, while the weakest/wounded are usually just spare food.So living in a wolf-man society is a highly stressful activity, and any sign of weakness will bring about its own destruction.

This also gives them a higher combat capability and a lower degree of civilization development.

After discussion, they agreed that they could attack this wolf man tribe, no matter whether they went out hunting or not, since it was a tribe, it must not be all warriors.

This is obviously an excellent target for attack.

What I saw was a patch of uneven wooden triangular houses, and the bones of various creatures were randomly discarded on the road. I saw that most of the gnolls had no weapons, and only a few held iron weapons. Their height was similar to that of humans, like a head Standing hyena.

Roland and the others are slowly approaching, intending to sneak attack.

"Wow!~~~~" The wolf man's voice was full of anger, but he didn't expect these wolf man's hearing to be so keen.The wolves who heard the roar made the same sound one after another, and all of a sudden, the roars became one.

They simply stopped hiding, and under the order, the queue began to move forward neatly.

When you get to a distance of 50 meters. "Infantry, scattered, archers step forward, free fire"

The infantry quickly dispersed, and the archers quickly stepped forward, drawing their bows and shooting.

At this time, the jackals had just completed their assembly. They were standing scattered in the open space, waiting extremely impatiently for the leader's order to attack.The moment the jackal leader saw the human archers appearing, he let out a roar of "Ouch~~" and shot forward instantly.
