Killed 16 people, captured 7 people, and escaped 9 people.
One cow, three piglets, five sheep, three geese, six chickens, five bags of wheat, two bags of semolina, three bags of beans, two bags of black bread, ten pounds of salt, four sheepskins, and two village girls were seized. people, some weapons, leather armor, and 450 silver dinars.
This is considered a big victory.
Zhang Yang killed 15 people and was successfully promoted to level 13. He still added it to his agility attribute, making his agility 14 points, and also activated his level 1 strong attack skill.
Carly kills 2 people and successfully reaches level 9. She adds 1 point of strength to level 12 and her strong attack skill reaches level 2.
"Reset camp!"
Zhang Yang gave the order. Initially, he ordered to break camp because the food was almost exhausted and this wave of training had to be ended.
But now the materials sent by this group of deserters can almost allow them to train for another month and a half.
And he felt that he needed to kill the prisoners in this inaccessible place.
These are all regular troops. As long as they are subdued, it will be very beneficial to the overall combat effectiveness of the team.
"what's your name?"
"Robert." The veteran replied politely. Now that his armor and weapons have been stripped off, he is only wearing a set of coarse cloth shirts. Therefore, even if he is a veteran with rich combat experience, he does not dare to escape at all. intention.
"Very well, Robert. From now on, I need you to train new recruits for me. Don't think of anything extra. If you can satisfy me, maybe I will let you go free."
Zhang Yang made a broad promise. The most important thing for his Fire Mercenary Group now is that the recruits are too low-level and cannot be brought to the battlefield. Otherwise, relying solely on himself, he does not know when he will overturn.
After talking to the veteran Robert, Zhang Yang talked to the other six prisoners one by one. The lowest level among them was level 15. They were either Sarion infantry or Sarion armed infantry. Any one of them was better than his recruits.
Zhang Yang is naturally a stick and a carrot, making boundless promises on the one hand and fierce threats on the other. The effect is pretty good, at least on the surface.
Next, Zhang Yang personally supervised the training of the new recruits. Headed by veteran Robert, a coaching team composed of three Sarlian armed infantry conducted group training for the new recruits, including the remaining three prisoners.
Veteran Robert and the others were working very hard, because Zhang Yang was standing next to them, all covered up, watching closely. He would warn anyone who didn't train well, and sometimes he would even interfere with the training content and intensity.
As a result, not only the trained recruits complained endlessly, but also the veteran Robert and the three Sarion armed infantry were exhausted at the end of the day.
However, after all the hard work, Zhang Yang personally took two village girls to cook. They had three meals a day, every meal was full of meat, and they were delicious. In the evening, all the recruits were given a large glass of dark beer.
The four veterans, Robert, can enjoy the special treatment of three large cups each.
This kind of dark beer chilled in the stream is simply everyone's favorite. No matter who it is, after taking a big sip, the anger in the stomach has almost disappeared.
Especially for the seven prisoners, the effect was immediate.
During the day, their favorable impressions of Zhang Yang in their attributes almost all dropped to negative numbers, and they would definitely run away again at night. However, after a sumptuous meal, their favorable impressions suddenly increased.
"Man Tonks, thanks a lot."
Zhang Yang smiled slightly, feeling quite emotional.
Because this time he had prepared four large barrels of dark beer and one barrel of wine. They were originally prepared for Tonks to save him from complaining again.
Who would have thought that Tonks actually gave up her choice.
In the past month, Zhang Yang did not distribute it to the recruits, and it was not until today that it had such an effect.
The next day, whether it was a recruit or a prisoner, the training enthusiasm was immediately different from yesterday, but Zhang Yang still stared at it and asked Carly to rest. He and Carly were on guard against each other during the day and night.
At the end of the day, the training effect was very good. After all, the veteran Robert was a level 38 regular soldier, which was slightly inferior to Tonks and many times better than Zhang Yang.
In this way for ten consecutive days, with food and wine served every day, the prisoners and the recruits have become one with each other, and their goodwill with Zhang Yang has also improved a lot. Although they may still have some bad thoughts, at least the training effect has surpassed that before. One month.
All the recruits have been promoted two to three levels, and Anderson, Tony, and Bob, who Zhang Yang focuses on training, have all reached level 10, which means they meet the conditions for initial job transfer.
Among them, Anderson changed his job to a hired shooter, but Zhang Yang’s final idea was to transfer him to a ranger, so the two free attribute points obtained from the upgrade were directly added to intelligence, so the attributes became—
Anderson, 19 (Level 10)

And Tony changed his job to a caravan guard. This is also the limitation of Zhang Yang's mercenary group. Otherwise, he could transfer to a Sarion infantry. Fortunately, there is no rush for this. As long as his attributes keep up, he will be able to change his job next time. Variety.

"Robert, are the seven of you willing to join my Fire Mercenary Group? I will formally pay you wages like others. Of course, you can also choose to leave freely now."
After breaking camp again, Zhang Yang asked seriously, because after more than a month of training, he believed that his mercenary group needed a battle, and before that, the instability in the team must be resolved.
"Captain, of course I am willing to follow you."
Veteran Robert said without saying a word, in fact, after more than ten days of contact, the most important thing is that he is too reluctant to live a life of eating meat and drinking alcohol every day. There is no such good food in the Lord's regular army, let alone Get salary.
This was especially true for several other prisoners.
Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction. He would not be stingy in terms of food, drink and salary. What he needed was strong fighting power.
"Set off!"
After a month and a half, he returned to Sarion City with 20 of his men.
He didn't feel that things had changed, and he didn't even go to the Lion Tavern. He just went to the market to replenish some food, and then went to the mayor to accept a task of suppressing bandits.
There are many such tasks. The main reason is that Sarion is the center of Pendor Continent, with trade routes extending in all directions, a developed economy, and rich products. Therefore, there are many bandits, especially many mercenary groups who will become part of the bandits after they go bankrupt.
Not to mention the large number of ruthless deserters who emerged as a result of the war.
But the reward for such a bandit suppression mission is not high at all. It only costs 50 silver dinars to kill a group of ordinary bandits, and only 100 silver dinars to kill a group of difficult bandits. As for those who dare to rob a caravan, Bandits, depending on the situation, have 200 to 400 silver dinars.
It was the latter that Zhang Yang took over this time, a bandit who robbed the caravan in Ole Town and killed 12 farmers. The impact was very bad, especially these farmers were tenants of a baron, and the materials they robbed were also the baron's. personal property, the nature of this matter is serious.
Therefore, the reward offered by the alderman here is as much as 500 silver dinars, 300 of which were given by the baron. The mission requirement is to kill all the robbers and seize all the supplies.
However, there are about five or six mercenary groups that have taken on this task, but so far they have not caught the bandits.
Zhang Yang just wanted to try his luck, because he also took on another task, transporting 12 barrels of dark beer to Harlingsburg. This task was mainly because he had a big car, and the bounty was not much, a total of 80 silver. Dinar, but better than nothing.
After hauling 12 barrels of dark beer from a winery in Sarion, the transportation agreement was signed under the witness of the city official, and 5 silver dinars were paid as a deposit, Zhang Yang led the team on the road.
