After hearing Sylvia’s words, the caravan people didn’t know what to say for a long time. Many people think that Sylvia must be crazy. She has already won the glory, status and other people can’t get in her lifetime. The rights have been given up in this way. It is absolutely impossible for normal people to do such things except for lunatics.

On the contrary, the wandering knights who already highly respected Sylvia were more admired by Sylvia, because they knew that if they were in Sylvia's position, it was absolutely impossible to give up everything and leave.

As for the conclusion that Sylvia was driven away, no one would think that way, because as long as you think about all kinds of rumors, Sylvia’s status and prestige in Taocente, plus her military control Power, only she can drive away others, absolutely no one can drive her away, even the Duchess.

On the ensuing road, Sylvia slightly pointed out the caravan's safety issues. The caravan team leader found that the problems that Sylvia said were very reasonable, so he simply handed over the caravan's **** work to Sylvie Ya, of course, the cost of employment is quite a lot.

Sylvia did not quit, after the caravan guards work, she began to rearrange the caravan guards according to her ideas.

For example, the knights are integrated and assigned to the back of the caravan. Once encountering the enemy, the knight has enough space to launch the first round of impact on the enemy.

The mercenaries were placed in the middle of the convoy. They were next to some heavy vehicles. If they encountered a sudden attack, these vehicles moved to both sides, and the head and tail were moved closer to the middle to quickly form a defensive preparation.

As for the bounty hunters, they are used as scouts. Their rich tracking instincts allow them to discover some anomalies around them through some clues and give the caravan enough time to defend.

After Sylvia’s arrangement, the originally chaotic fleet queues became orderly, and the speed of travel was much faster. A camp site that was originally expected to be reached in the evening, has been reached just after noon. The caravan had to revise the itinerary plan and continue on the road until it reached the village about half a day away from the camp.

The location of the village selected by the caravan leader for camping was not near the commercial road, but on a hillside away from the end of the commercial road. This village is mainly planted with a tree hemp, which is one of the main raw materials for cloth. The cloth made of this hemp is very strong, durable, and not easily corroded by seawater, so it is often used by the Nivegarde Empire to make military uniforms and sails.

Although the demand for kenaf in the Niftgarde Empire is great, the purchase price of kenaf raw materials is not high, and those villages planting kenaf can barely make a little profit from each year's harvest, and really earn a big head It is those big merchants and lords who have mastered the weaving workshop. The Nivegarde Empire will purchase all kinds of fabrics made of hemp at a price that is ten times or even dozens of times more than the raw materials of hemp.

It is precisely because of the huge benefits contained in the tree hemp, so the villages without planting tree hemp are divided into small sites by those nobles and big merchants, and everyone can only buy the tree hemp in their own site. The hemp in the site can only be sold to the site owner.

This kind of decision is very beneficial to nobles and businessmen, because they do not have to raise prices and compress profits because of the acquisition of tree hemp, and also avoid some unnecessary competition. If someone needs to expand the tree hemp acquisition site, they only need to buy a piece of others It is sufficient to transfer the site, if there is any dispute, there is a committee established by the merchants and nobles to arbitrate.

For the Nilfgarde Empire, this order is equally beneficial. They can get a stable supply of kenaf cloth moderately, without having to spend extra energy to deal with trivial matters such as the acquisition of kenaf and the manufacture of cloth.

But for those villages that planted tree hemp, this order is definitely not a good thing, because they have been tied to tree hemp planting for generations, but they can only get very meager benefits.

Because of this, these hemp-growing villages wanted to resist, and the first step they made was to no longer sell hemp to nobles and merchants, while proclaiming that they would stop planting hemp to grow grain.

The behavior of these villages is simply to move the money bags of the big nobles and big merchants of the Nilfgarde Empire. Those nobles and merchants will naturally not allow this, so they apparently sent people to appease these villages, and secretly thought of ways To teach these villages a lesson, let them know a little bit better.

The caravans between Taocente and Medina are well-informed people. They are very aware of the contradictions between these tree-planting villages and the big nobles and big merchants. They are not willing to be involved in these contradictions, so they choose to camp. At that time, even if there were villages next to the road that would allow the caravan to recuperate better, they would not choose to camp here, but went to camp in other open areas.

However, the village chosen by the caravan team this time was considered to be a bit selfish, because he had encountered a bandit in the past, and the caravan suffered heavy casualties. He also received serious injuries. At that time, the caravan people thought he was dead. Throwing him casually on the side of the road, it turned out that the villagers in this village found him and took him back to the village for treatment before he could survive.

Not long ago, he received news through his own channel that he knew that this village was also one of the villages that refused to sell ramie and was planning to replant grain, and that the nobleman who controlled the acquisition of ramie in this area was a military aristocrat and had a very violent personality. This nobleman has decided to use this village as his object of prestige, preparing to send his private guard to disguise as a bandit and kill all the people in this village to warn other villages.

The caravan leader was originally prepared to leave the caravan in a safe zone and camp, and then he went to the village to report by horseback, so that the people in the village could leave the village before the noble private guard arrived, and wait for the matter to calm down and then come back. .

However, with the joining of Sylvia and others, the caravan team leader also had other ideas, especially the caravan came to the camp site that was booked half a day in advance, and this camp site only needed half a day to reach the village, he thought This was a revelation given to him by God, so he decided to take the caravan to the village and let his caravan's guards and Sylvia be protectors without their knowledge.

In this way, everyone was brought to this small village that was not very large by the caravan leader without knowing it. The small village did not have an inn. Because of the relationship with the caravan leader, the caravan was arranged at the edge of the village A fairly spacious open space.

Sylvia was a little puzzled by the caravan team leading everyone to camp in this village that deviated from the road because in any way, this village is not a place suitable for camping. However, after all, this was the location chosen by the caravan team leader, and she didn't say much, plus the village can provide some supplies, the defects of camping in this village were ignored.

Until the caravan formed a defensive camp according to Sylvia's instructions, and when Sylvia began to arrange the defense of the camp, the caravan leader invited Sylvia to the side to let what might happen tonight Speak to Sylvia.

However, what made the caravan leader feel puzzled was that Sylvia did not scold or blame him. Instead, he looked at each other calmly, looked up and down with a scrutiny, and said, "The caravan should be yours, right?" ?"

"Not exactly mine." The caravan leader shook his head slightly and explained: "There are still two nobles in the share. I am only directly responsible for managing the caravan."

"Is it worth it?" Sylvia asked again: "For these villagers, is it worth the loss of their caravan?"

"They saved me before." The caravan leader said in a deep voice.

Sylvia asked calmly again: "But have you thought about the other people in the caravan? They were used by you because of your revenge, and fell into danger?"

The caravan team leader could not answer this question, but just bowed his head, a look of shame appeared on his face.

Sylvia didn't say anything, turned around and went back to the camp, but the caravan leader said at this time: "Adult, you still let them stop camping, and set off overnight! Let me go to the village chief and say that they leave the village... …"

"It's not necessary! It's just a group of robbers!" Sylvia interrupted the caravan leader, Shen Sheng said: "You remember there is no noble's private guard, just a group of thieves."

After talking, Sylvia quickly returned to the camp, and then indicated the camping position, and came to the tent prepared by the caravan for her and Leo. Leo was now in the tent according to his own method. Strengthen the control of blood power.

"I know where the **** you found hiding in the woods came from!" After entering the tent, Sylvia said directly to Leo.

"Where do you come from?" Leo asked in a double-handed way.

Sylvia then repeated what the caravan team leader told her.

"Do I need to solve them?" Leo asked.

Although the **** had already left, Leo was able to track his whereabouts according to the traces left by him, and then find the noble private guard.

"No more!" Sylvia shook her head and said, "I haven't been active for more than a month, and I just warmed up with these guys."

Seeing that Sylvia has already made a decision, Leo didn’t say much, asking Sylvia what he needs to help. Sylvia only wants to protect the existing villagers when the battle takes place. .

Afterwards, Sylvia found Geralt separately and explained the situation.

Although Geralt was indignant that they were used by others, they did not express their intention to leave, and they all stayed. Sylvia left them in the caravan camp and was responsible for the camp guard.

Then she saw each other separately, and some of the prestigious among the wandering knights, mercenaries, and bounty hunters told them that there might be a fight tonight to prepare them.

Several people wondered why Sylvia would know about it, but Sylvia didn't say much, nor did he disclose about the caravan leader.

The respect for Sylvia made the wandering knight immediately believe in Sylvia's words and expressed that he would obey Sylvia's arrangement. Although the mercenaries and bounty hunters were a little puzzled, they did not ask much. They both I feel that no matter whether someone eventually comes back to attack here, they are prepared to defend without harm.

So, Sylvia began to re-arrange the defense of the camp, let the bounty hunter arrange some simple traps outside the camp, and form a vehicle barrier to block the outside, and then the defense of her camp was handed over Cassir, because Cassir is the highest-ranking person in the camp, he is also the one who really participated in the war.

And Sylvia himself led the fully equipped wandering knights and left the camp, disappearing into the darkness outside the camp.

Sylvia's series of actions didn't cover up at all. Everyone looked at it. Some smart people immediately realized that something was going wrong, so they found a safe place to hide.

At this time, the caravan leader also led the villagers to the camp to accept the caravan's protection.

There are not many villagers in this village, there are only more than 200 people, and the number is slightly less than the caravan. Because Sylvia used a carriage to encircle the barricade, this was expected, so the area surrounded by the barricade It has expanded a lot, and more than two hundred people entering the camp will not make the camp crowded.

And the caravan people did not object to this, because they all thought that the battle that might arise later was caused by the caravan, and the people in this village carried a trace of guilt.

Because the villagers joined, the camp immediately became a lot of lively. Although these villagers could not increase the fighting power of the caravan guards, the word crowded is still used here, at least just because of Sylvia’s move. The panic caused quickly dissipated from the camp~lightnovelpub.net~Everyone was sitting by the campfire chatting and blowing a cow.

The lively atmosphere in the camp made Anguran, a young girl, who was also very excited. She walked around, searching for various rumors, listening to the mercenaries and bounty hunters bragging with each other, as if it were a bonfire. The party is over.

With the passage of time, everyone felt sleepy. Those with tents entered the tents to rest. Those without tents laid a blanket on the ground not far from the bonfire and rested on the spot.

Most of the mercenaries and bounty hunters were scheduled for rest by Cassirer, leaving only a few people on duty, and Geralt and Regill could not sleep, so they joined the night duty team.

About a few hours later, when the time was late at night, when the ordinary people were extremely sleepy, the guards Geralt and Regill almost heard a burst of horseshoes in the distance at the same time. They climbed to the roof of the car and looked towards the place where the sound came out. They saw more than one hundred torches appear in the dark and approached here very quickly.

After discovering this, they immediately awakened the people in the camp and took out their weapons, ready to fight.
