From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

Chapter 86 Situation

"It's a wolf!"

Don Quixote paused for a moment, but quickly realized, "It seems there are quite a few."

Don Quixote quickly stood up, looked at Rodney who had also stood up, and said helplessly, "Looks like something unexpected has happened. I'll go take care of it."

"My lord!" Rodney said hastily, "My men, as well as the six knights and riders I employ, can also be of help."

Don Quixote didn't want the Bloodhand Mercenaries, whose members were less skilled and less experienced but loyal to him, to die easily.

He mentioned to some businessmen he knew that the Bloodhand Mercenary Group would not accept any mercenary jobs outside of White Harbor for the time being.

Therefore, Rodney did not hire the Bloodhands mercenary group to escort his caravan to this place, but instead found six other knights and free riders in White Harbor.

However, it's estimated that Rodney will be able to hire members of the Bloodhand Mercenary Group the next time he comes here.

Since Warren had previously accepted the employment task in the old city, it means that he had already figured out the many problems brought about by his new identity and had almost gotten along well with the new and old members.

Don Quixote did not refuse and quickly said, "Lord Rodney, thank you very much for your help."

While the two were talking, several members of the Bloodhand Mercenary Group who were not far away quickly walked over to their side.

Don Quixote did not delay any longer.

First, he loudly reassured the surrounding villagers, and then led many people towards the direction where the wolves were howling.

The remaining people looked slightly uneasy, but they were not too panicked.

Huiqiu Village is close to Yangtou Mountain, and it is not uncommon to hear wolf howls at night.

Some villagers have even encountered wolves in the village.

Don Quixote was naturally aware of the presence of wild animals in the area.

Hunters were assigned to patrol the area in shifts, both day and night.

Before long, the group quickly walked to the area in the village specifically for grazing and managing horses.

The main building in this area is a very spacious single-story wood and stone house.

It's a new building that was only completed a few days ago.

In addition to stables specifically for grazing and managing horses, there are also places for feeding poultry, such as chicken coops and duck sheds.

Don Quixote arranged for experienced villagers to look after them.

The villagers were paid 100 copper coins a day to look after them, and each villager could graze their own poultry and horses in these areas for free.

This not only creates more practical jobs to cultivate villagers' skills but also increases their income.

It can also improve the living environment in the village.

Otherwise, the village would be filled with the excrement of all kinds of livestock, which would be unbearable to look at and smell.

Similarly, Don Quixote not only planned a special place to dispose of the garbage and other filth produced by the villagers, but also ordered the villagers not to litter or dump waste indiscriminately.

In addition, there are elderly people and children who clean and pick up garbage from all over the village every day.

Today, in addition to a significant increase in the overall per capita income, the living environment in Huiqiu Village has also been significantly improved.

The grooms, who had also heard the howling wolves, anticipated that someone would come to collect their horses and had already made some preparations.

As soon as Don Quixote and his party appeared, they greeted him respectfully and led his horse over, saying, "My lord!"

After Don Quixote mounted his horse, he instructed, "Keep a close eye on your surroundings. If you encounter or see anything, don't panic. The knights are nearby and will come over as soon as they hear any noise."

Next to this area specifically for grazing and managing horses is the temporary residence of the Blood Hand Mercenary Group members.

Horses are not only valuable but also a very important strategic resource.

Don Quixote wouldn't feel at ease without sufficient protection.

"Yes, sir!" the grooms hurriedly replied.

Rodney, who had also come along, rode close to Don Quixote and exclaimed slowly, "My lord, your territory is truly extraordinary."

"As clean and orderly as some old castles and manors."

—It would be strange if they were the same. These obvious changes took a lot of my gold dragons and silver deer to appear.

As Don Quixote had this thought, he quickly replied, "My territory is too small and too remote. I want those guests who come from afar to be willing to come again next time."

"We need to show more enthusiasm and friendliness than other territories."

The reason why all the members of the Rodney Caravan, along with their hired knights and riders, appeared in the food street was because their mounts, luggage, and wagons were being looked after by villagers free of charge.

These people are all potential consumers and potential leaders.

Don Quixote wanted every outsider who came here to spend money and personally experience the uniqueness of his territory.

Rodney affirmed, "I believe that your territory will soon become better and stronger, my lord."

A moment later, a group of nearly twenty people, each carrying a torch made of grease, quickly arrived at the place where the wolf howled.

In the darkness of night, many wolves howled softly at the edge of the forest, refusing to leave.

As the torchlight drew closer, the night grew ever darker.

The shadowy figures of the wolves were gradually revealed.

At the same time, the wolves suddenly became uneasy.

Their fierce yellow pupils, illuminated directly by the firelight, were momentarily filled with fear and hesitation.

"grown ups!"

The two members of the Bloodhand Mercenary Group, who were confronting the wolf pack, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Don Quixote and his group appear.

Don Quixote's gaze swept over the wolf's shadow exposed in the firelight.

One, two, three, — seven!

Besides the seven unharmed adult wolves, there were also two adult wolves that had been killed and a wolf cub that had been seriously wounded by an arrow and was on the verge of death on the ground.

He hurriedly asked, "Zakari, Damian, what happened here?"

Upon hearing this, Zachary replied somewhat nervously, "Sir, it's all my fault!"

"When I was patrolling here before, I noticed some movement at the edge of the woods, and without thinking, I shot an arrow."

"As a result, one wolf cub was hit, and then the other wolves were attracted by the cub's screams."

"We dealt with the first two wolves that came, but seeing that the number of wolves at the edge of the forest was increasing, we dared not stay in the forest any longer."

"We retreated back here and used torches to threaten the wolves, preventing them from getting close to the village."

"It's hard to see anything at night, but protecting the safety of the village is more important. This is your duty, so there's no need to blame yourself." Tangjihede nodded.

He then instructed, "Zakari, Damian, you two go back to the village now and find Adele."

"Let her get a treatment kit; she knows what it is."

"After you get the items, call Cole to bring them over, and um, also have Cole bring my spear over."

"You two should stay away from here for now. Afterwards, you will patrol other areas of the village."

Zachary hesitated and said, "My lord, I want to stay here."

Don Quixote shook his head and said, "A few wolves are nothing. We are enough here. The rest of the village needs guards."

"Yes, sir," Zachary and Damian replied.
