There was a lot of injustice and corruption on the continent of Hadi Rado. The poor became sheep at the mercy of the nobles. Gravel thought about it for a long time. He knew that if he wanted the poor to live a good life, he would have to rely on his sword and the army.
Only when you're strong enough will your words have weight!
Fighting against tyrannical power requires courage and determination.
After a night of thinking, Gravel decided to ask the camp leader for help. The next day, Gravel and Tonny went to the camp leader's tent.
Inside the tent, a muscular man in a black vest was reading a book. The man's muscles were clearly visible, and his body proportions were perfect.
Seeing Gravel and Tonny walk over, the man put down the book.
"Why are you looking for me?"
"Leader, we do want to talk to you."
"Oh." The muscular man showed some interest in Gravel. At least he was willing to listen to Gravel.
"First, I have to thank you for taking us in. Secondly, I want to say that I have a way to make our refugee camp stronger. "
"What did you do before, young man?"
"I was a mercenary captain."
"Then what method do you have to increase our camp's strength?"
"Rob the military's transport team."
"What? You're too brave! "
"High risk also means high reward." Gravel told the muscular man about some successful historical examples.
"This …" The man stroked his beard and thought.
"You're asking us to hit a rock with an egg. Besides, how can I believe you? You've only been here for half a month." The man said after a while.
"Sir, you can not believe me, but you have to believe your subordinates. Which one of them hasn't been bullied and destroyed by the nobles? I think the reason why you set up such a camp is to benefit the people of this area. Since you're asking for the people's lives, why not let more people benefit? "
The man began to look at the ordinary-looking young man in front of him in a new light. He pulled out the sword on the table.
"This will cause many people to die, but for more people to live a good life, I'm willing to give it a try. Young man, can you give me some better suggestions? "
"Yes, I have some more specific plans."
"Please go ahead." The leader's attitude had obviously become much better, even somewhat cordial.
Gravel and the leader talked for an entire afternoon. During this time, Tonny stayed by Gravel's side.
The next day, the originally peaceful and quiet valley began to bustle with activity. Everyone in the camp who could wield a weapon was called to Leader Mo Lin's side.
The autumn wind in the Wilson Forest carried a faint earthy fragrance, without the slightest hint of coolness.
Leader Molin stood on top of a high platform, looking down at the poor people who trusted him.
"Brothers and sisters, I have gathered all of you here today to announce two things. The first thing is that the four people behind me will officially become members of our refugee camp. "Molin introduced Gravel and the others to the people below the stage.
"The second thing is that from today onwards, we will be completely at odds with the nobles of the German Empire. We will no longer be like before, only hiding in the valley. We will give these ruthless Derman nobles a heavy blow. The glory of our Wilson Forest will shine on every piece of land in the Northland. "
When they heard Molin announce the second thing, the people below were in an uproar. There were many discussions. Some expressed their approval, some were hesitant, and some were resolute in their opposition.
Seeing the attitudes of the people below, Molin's attitude was very firm.
Most people's attitudes were actually hesitant because they were afraid. They did not dare to resist the tyrannical power. After the gathering, Molin assigned the people below to their respective positions.
Gravel followed Molin to the temporary command tent.
"Gravel, although my people have agreed to resist the tyranny of the Empire, they are not united. When the time comes, there will be very few people who will truly follow us. "Molin and Gravel sat facing each other at the table.
"Lord Molin, those people are hesitating because they are afraid that if we fail, their lives will be in danger. What we need the most now is a victory, so our first battle is very important. In this battle, we need to give those who join us enough confidence, and also spread the name of our Wilson Forest. "
"I know that our first battle is very important, but where should we start?"
"Lord Molin, I can ask around Seaside Castle to see if there are any Empire transport caravans passing by recently. I can also bring my mercenaries to the valley while I'm at it."
"Gravel, I believe in you." Molin patted Gravel's shoulder.
After leaving Molin's tent, Gravel found Tonny. After telling Tonny the specific plan, the two of them simply packed their luggage.
Then, the two of them left the refugee camp and rushed to the outskirts of Seaside Castle.
Outside the city, there was still an endless stretch of camps. As far as the eye could see, there were mercenaries' tents everywhere.
"It's the Empire's regular army, Lord," Tonny whispered to Gravel.
"Looks like they've tightened their management of the outskirts of the city. We have to be careful."
Gravel pulled down the black hood on his head and lowered his head slightly to avoid the patrolling Empire's regular army.
After arriving at the mercenary camp outside the city, Gravel and Tonny entered the tent.
Due to Gravel's departure, many of the mercenaries had left, and there were only about forty of them left.
These forty people had a good relationship with Gravel, and were very loyal. Among them was a middle-aged uncle called Haibull. Haibull was usually in charge of the meals of these people who stayed behind, and was also in charge of taking care of Gravel's property. When Gravel saw Haibull offer up his ancestral longsword with both hands, he couldn't help but feel a trace of excitement in his heart.
"Haibull, thank you so much."
"You're too polite, Lord. I'm just a middle-aged man with no one to rely on. If it weren't for Lord's employment, how would I survive? "
"Alright, you'll follow me from now on. I'll pay you double. By the way, have you heard any news from the military recently? "
"Lord, I heard that a batch of important goods will be shipped to Seaside Castle. It will probably arrive in two days."
"Alright, I got it. Pass down the order, we'll leave this place in the dark. "
"Yes, Lord."
Then, Gravel handed the flag with the black eagle pattern to Tonny.
"Take it, it will be the soul of our group."
"Don't worry, Lord."
