Feng Chou wasn't in a hurry to join a mercenary group. He stayed in the Ironfist Tavern and spent quite a bit of kronor to invite some old mercenaries with decent reputations to drink and chat, gathering some information.
That night, he stayed in the Ironfist Tavern.
That night, Qiankun Pagoda sent him a video of what happened in the Ogre Encampment.
The beginning of the video was shot by Feng Chou from the surveillance camera he left far away from the Ogre Encampment. The field of view was very wide.
In front of the Ogre Gate, the mountain ridge shrouded in the night suddenly lit up with the light of magic. The magical light of teleportation flashed, and a few humans wearing capes and hoods appeared on the mountain ridge.
Then, the scene changed. The camera suddenly zoomed in close to the humans, and the capes on their bodies were suddenly removed.
It turned out that these humans had been teleported to the place where Feng Chou buried Qiankun Pagoda, which happened to be within Qiankun Pagoda's scanning range.
Qiankun Pagoda's scanning was obviously not something a cape could block. In the video that Qiankun Pagoda sent over, he directly removed the capes of these people, allowing Feng Chou to see more clearly.
There were a total of five people teleported over. Two of them were wearing heavy armor. In the night, the armor flowed with a golden-red light, looking exceptionally gorgeous.
The other two wore strange robes.
The person in the middle of these four people was a handsome young man with a gloomy aura. He wasn't wearing any armor.
He was dressed in a black silk jacket, a grey kyurot, tight silk stockings of the same colour embroidered with purple tulips (silk stockings were the standard for men in this age of the world), pointed boots, and a black three-cornered hat.
The light of teleportation naturally alerted the ogre guards at the entrance of the camp. They let out a warning roar.
Among the five humans, a human wearing a strange robe spoke to the ogre guards in a language that Feng Chou couldn't understand.
Following that person's words, the ogre guards stopped roaring. One of them turned and ran back to the camp.
Not long after, an ogre wearing the same strange robe as the human who spoke the strange language walked out of the camp. He used the same language to communicate with the human for a while before bringing the five humans into the camp.
These five people entered the camp for a long time before coming out. They opened their scrolls, activated teleportation, and left the camp.
Feng Chou didn't find the arrival of these five humans too strange. He was just a little worried.
He felt that these people should be the scum that provided the ogres with armor and weapons.
The appearance of these human traitors made him feel that there might be a variable in the upcoming war.
Although he had discovered this secret, Feng Chou realized that there was nothing he could do. His status was too low, and he himself was a pile of trouble. He was powerless to change the direction of this war.
… …
About a week later, an army of humans began to gather outside the castle of the Counts Of Antalya.
The Counts Of Antalya had a regiment of knights called the 'Knights of Antalya'.
The so-called 'Knights of Antalya' was an army made up entirely of knights. It was easy to imagine how powerful they were.
The Knights of Antalya had two regiments of five hundred men under them. They took turns to guard the castle of the Counts Of Antalya.
This time, the Knights of Antalya were mobilizing a regiment of two hundred and fifty men. The leader of the regiment was the eldest son of the Counts Of Antalya, the first in line to the title, Sir Auston Antalya.
Of course, the actual commander of the army was the vice-commander of the Antalya Knights and the leader of the second regiment, Knight Norton, a rank 13 high-order knight.
Apart from the Knights of Antalya, the City Guard would also be mobilizing two regiments of five hundred men.
The elites of the City Guard naturally couldn't compare to the Knights of Antalya. This army was mainly made up of rank 4 warriors. They were mainly responsible for guarding the city walls, the city gates, and patrolling the streets.
Apart from the army of the Counts Of Antalya, the Antalya Mage Academy would also be mobilizing its own Mage Guards. It was said that the principal of the Antalya Mage Academy, Sir Pei Di, would also be mobilizing the army. He would be leading four mid-level mages and a regiment of Mage Guards.
The Mage Guards of the Antalya Mage Academy were the only army in Antalya that could be compared to the Antalya Knights. They were also made up of mid-level warriors of rank 5 and above. However, their numbers were smaller than that of the Knights of Antalya.
The Mage Guards' job was to protect the mages. They weren't responsible for protecting the Mage Academy. In fact, as long as the Mage Tower didn't fall, no one would dare to attack the Mage Academy.
Apart from that, there were also the mercenaries recruited by the Mercenary Guild.
The Mercenary Guild had recruited a total of more than 20 mercenary regiments. The number of mercenaries was about two regiments.
Although the number of mercenaries was large, their strength was uneven and their coordination was poor. Experience had shown that small-scale mercenaries weren't suitable for a frontal battle.
According to the information collected by Qiankun Pagoda, the mercenaries' tasks were two-fold. One was to attack and contain the five Gnoll camps outside the Ogre Encampment. The other was to be used as a commando team.
This army of more than 1,500 people marched out of the North Gate of Antalya and headed north along the bumpy road.
Feng Chou was at the end of this troop. It was a powerful mercenary regiment with more than 30 members and an average strength of rank 7.
This mercenary regiment was called "Forest Tigers" and was one of the top five mercenary regiments in Antalya.
The head of the Forest Tigers was a rank 10 warrior and a rank 4 rogue.
Feng Chou was now a member of this mercenary regiment. His name was Allen.
…
Feng Chou didn't say a word as he followed behind the Ferocious Tiger in the Forest mercenary group. As someone who had lived two lives, he knew very well that a good face could allow you to achieve twice the results with half the effort in your life and work.
Therefore, when he was disguising himself as City Allen, he chose a face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome and sincere.
Feng Chou believed that this face would be very helpful for him to join the elite Forest Tigers mercenary regiment.
But sometimes, fortune and misfortune came hand in hand.
Since he joined the Forest Tigers mercenary regiment, a tall and sturdy girl had been asking about his well-being.
This girl was a rank 4 warrior and a rank 1 rogue. She could join the Forest Tigers mercenary regiment because of her identity. She was the daughter of the head of the Forest Tigers mercenary regiment.
Feng Chou certainly didn't dare to offend the daughter of the regiment commander. He could only be cautious and use a simple and honest way to deal with her.
The regiment commander, who was walking at the front of the group, ignored his daughter's pestering of Feng Chou.
It was no wonder. With Feng Chou's talent, as long as he didn't die in battle, it was not impossible for him to reach the same height as the regiment commander in the future.
