Gunathar was a qualified father and an excellent warrior.
Unfortunately, Rod could not feel happy if he did not kill him. Because of this guy, he had lost twelve soldiers from Redwood Town in vain. He could have taken them home alive.
After Gunathar committed suicide, he put an end to a worry. Rod slept very deeply and comfortably that night. In a trance, he seemed to dream of his warriors again. They said goodbye to him in their sleep.
The next day, Rod, who had slept soundly all night, turned over and jumped off the hammock refreshed. At this time, Cress happened to walk in with a wooden basin filled with hot water.
“Master, it’s rare that you sleep in today. Won’t you sleep a little longer?”
“No need. Sleeping too much will make your blood thicker. The more you sleep, the more sleepy and tired you will be.”
“This water is a little too hot for washing your face. Let me pour some cold water.”
Rhode walked to the wooden basin in the tent and leaned over to wash his face. Seeing that Cress, who was taking care of him, was hesitant to speak, he asked directly: “Cress, just tell me what’s going on.”
“Master, four of the slave traders escaped last night.” After a little hesitation, Cress knew that Rhode would know it eventually, so he told the story.
Because of the battle yesterday, Gunnars handed over the remaining slave-hunting cavalry to Rhode, so Rhode did not tie those people as slaves. In addition to taking away the food cart, he still gave them considerable freedom in other aspects.
“Well, I know.”
However, contrary to Cress’s expectations, Rhode’s reaction to this matter was cold, as if he had expected it, and he did not show any displeasure because of it.
“Master, don’t you care at all?”
“What’s there to care about? The cavalry regiments obtained in this way are not very loyal. Only four escaped last night, which was beyond my expectation. Kress, those who escaped are stupid and disloyal people, don’t care so much.”
“But master, the remaining people are not necessarily loyal either.”
“But at least they are not stupid. Where is this place? The wilderness, there is no food cart, no large army, and those four people only rely on the little food they carry. Do you want to escape from here?” Rhodes washed his face, stood up and stretched his body, and laughed as he spoke.
“But master, what if someone really escapes successfully and ruins your reputation outside?” Kress brought the towel to Rhodes, and the little girl still said with some worry.
Hearing this, Rhode, who had been relaxed and indifferent, now became a little serious. Then he patted Cress’s head, looked into the girl’s eyes and said seriously: “Cress, people who do great things, whether good or bad, are inevitably criticized by the world. This requires us to have a strong and solid heart, do what we think is right, and let them talk about the rest.”
In the previous life, there was such a situation in the workplace:
The harder people work, the more likely they are to make mistakes, and the more they will be pointed at by those who do not work. This is the case in the workplace, let alone those who want to create a foundation in this chaotic world. Don’t be easily influenced by the attitudes and words of outsiders, and keep your heart strong and solid. This is the basic quality in Rhode’s view.
Alos found Gunnarsser. There were a total of 42 slave-hunting groups under Gunnarsser. After accepting Alos’ invitation, Gunnarsser spent his family’s money to recruit ten good players to join the group. However, after this mission of crossing the wilderness, nearly half of the slave-hunting group died in battle.
Of course, this was also within Gunnarsor’s psychological expectations. He was prepared to fight for his family’s wealth to get the approval of Arlos. The brothers who really became nobles had already received the settlement fees in advance.
The only thing Gunnarsor didn’t expect was that this mission would make him die here.
Rodhart walked out of the tent and saw that in addition to the soldiers from Redwood Town, there were 21 slave traders in another area in the camp. They were dejected at this moment and might not be convinced in their hearts, but Rod didn’t care about it. As a commander, he led his subordinates to win victory after victory and gain benefits again and again, and morale and loyalty would naturally increase slowly:
Bounty hunter, slave escort, slave hunter, slave thug (not achieved), slave leader, slave general.
“Most of them are level three soldiers, which is basically the upper limit of the military strength of ordinary people. Before they have completely returned to their hearts, they cannot be given a divine blessing ceremony. Gunnarsser should be an elite slave trader leader or even a slave trader general, right?”
“Break camp, we will leave here now.”
“Yes, sir.”
The one who responded at this moment was not the soldiers of Redwood Town or the slave traders, but the servile and flattering goblin Abby.
Behind this goblin were two fat ogres and two bear goblins. After experiencing the attack of the harpy witch Magna, Rhodes received the goblin Abby’s application to join the team. This shows that Abby really has a certain degree of loyalty to him due to some psychological changes, otherwise the system would not recognize it.
After Rhode accepted, the team had two more ogres, two bugbears, and an elite goblin:
[Name: Abby
Level: 12
Strength: 2 (the average value of ordinary people is around 5, but with the same value, the strength of goblins is often weaker than that of humans, that is, the actual use attribute.)
Agility: 8
Intelligence: 4
Charm: 6
Remaining attribute points: 0
Skills: Alchemy 2, Plunder 2.
Remaining skill points: 0
Weapon proficiency: One-handed weapon 1 Two-handed weapon 2, Long-handed weapon 0, Bow and arrow 0, Crossbow 0, Throwing 12.
Remaining weapon proficiency: 8]
Hero characteristics:
Divine calculation, using strategies with equal wisdom will inevitably succeed, and increase the success rate of inventions.
Alchemy, increase the success rate of inventions.
Professional advancement route: Goblin robber, Goblin thief, Goblin thug; hidden advanced profession: Goblin Overlord.
“In a sense, this guy is at the same level as the top generals Fatis and Airen, and is equally ‘rare’. This is the first time in my life that an elite template can have two hero characteristics, and this guy’s level is even higher than mine!?”
Riding on horseback, Rhode looked at the goblin Abby trotting along beside his packhorse, and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. He didn’t quite understand the psychological changes of this little goblin, nor was he interested in understanding. He galloped and ran away.
“Hey, master, wait for me, wait for your loyal Abby!”
Rhode ran in front, and Abby chased him wildly behind. Many, many years later, Abby recalled today’s day and always sighed: “Following the figure of the master running in the sunset is my lost youth.”
