  Chapter 52 Hillman was on his way on horseback
  . As the harsh winter gradually passed, the plateau hounds were dying and running away.

  The road from Antolia to the city of Parma is finally open again.

  As Leon watched, the convoy loaded with moon velvet that had accumulated for almost an entire winter, headed north along the winding road under the escort of Antolian mercenaries.

  This is a new long-term job created by Leon for the mercenaries of Antolia.

  The impressive mercenaries can not only ensure the safety of Moonlight Velvet, but also advertise themselves. This is obviously a win-win situation.

  While the convoy was leaving the city, Antolia's messenger was also speeding north along the road.

  In the hand of the messenger was a letter, a letter addressed to the dwarf Hillman.

  Dwarf settlements are scattered in every corner of the continent, and the Bahrain Valley, located at the junction of the Kingdom of Andal and the Principality of Norton, is one of the larger ones.

  The dwarves have their own clan culture and their own cities.

  They refused to submit to any human country on the continent, but they did not resent being employed by humans.

  Excellent dwarves are the guests in the eyes of every noble, while most of those dwarves who are not skilled in skills live in dwarf cities and lead a miserable life among the wild beasts in the mountains and forests.

  In the dwarves' outlook on life, building the most splendid buildings and the sharpest weapons in the world is their lifelong pursuit.

  Therefore, whether it is the Kingdom of Andal, the Principality of Norton or the nobles of other countries, they are proud to own a weapon made by the best dwarf craftsmen, and even regard it as a manifestation of their identity and status.

  And Hillman is such an outstanding craftsman.

  However, not everyone thinks so.

  The things that dwarves like to do most are drinking alcohol and bragging.

  In most cases, people can identify the high point of a dwarf's ability by how outrageous the dwarf brags in the tavern.

  For example...

  if a dwarf says that he can forge any weapon in the world, it usually only means that he can forge weapons.

  If a dwarf says that the weapons he forges allow adventurers to slay dragons and cut apart boulders, it usually means that his abilities are above average.

  If a dwarf claims that the weapon he forged can defeat the enemy with one sword and cut through the sky with two swords... then congratulations, you have met an outstanding dwarf craftsman.

  But Hillman was an anomaly among the dwarves.

  Briefly speaking, he is a taciturn dwarf. In Hillman, there is no talkative attribute that dwarves usually have.

  He hates bragging and is very humble.

  Others say he can do anything, but Hillman only says he knows a little bit.

  Others said that their weapons could kill dragons, but Hillman said that the weapons he made were just a little sharper.

  Therefore, under the influence of the stereotype of dwarves, Hillman naturally became a fish that had never been recruited by the nobles.

  Until he received a letter from his brother.

  The letter is not too long and a little concise.

  "In Antolia, there are fewer people and more work. Come quickly!"

  So Hillman set off without hesitation.

  No reason, no reason whatsoever.

  Although Hillman is a little unfamiliar with the place name Antolia, it is the nature of the dwarves to stick together.

  When you find a dwarf in your territory, a brood of dwarves will soon grow.

  Since your brother shouted, just go.

  Therefore, when Juan and others broke into the lord's castle with bird eggs in their arms, Hillman was on the way on horseback.

  "What a big egg!"

  Even Aaron, who was usually serious about words, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the giant egg.

  However, even though Leon was surprised by the huge light blue bird eggs, he still immediately showed humanistic care from the Jimena family to the ragged soldiers in front of him.

  Because the three of them looked really miserable.

  Not only had the clothes on his body been torn into torn strips of cloth, but there were also bloodstains and scratches on his face and arms, and even his hair was mixed with a lot of dirt and weeds.

  But even so, they still brought back the eggs in their arms intact.

  "Thank you for your hard work!"

  Leon's palms touched the shoulders of the soldiers, and the waiter in the castle served the greasy barbecue.

  As the Viscount of Antolia, Leon is well aware of the dangers in the southwestern highlands, and soldiers who have returned successfully deserve such a reward.

  What's more, in any era, scouts are the elite among the elite.

  Both Juan and Andrew are indeed outstanding recruits of the younger generation of Antolia, and they even brought back a big egg for themselves.

  "Is this... the egg of a tall strange bird?"

  Leon placed the light blue egg on the table and looked at it carefully.

  Juan nodded and said a little shyly: "We stole this from the bird's nest. The situation was really dangerous at that time. The monster's beak almost passed by." "Fuck it.

  " She must be beautiful!"

  Leon did not hesitate to praise in his words: "From tomorrow on, you two will come to my side as guards!" The

  two of them had previously served in the Antolia First Militia Regiment and Laplu respectively. Although there does not seem to be any significant change in terms of rank when serving in the Croat Corps, this is the Viscount's side!

  "Thank you quickly, Lord Viscount!"

  Aaron reminded him with a smile.

  Obviously, the Viscount wanted to promote these two young people, so he took them with him to experience them.

  You know, whether it is the First Militia Regiment of Antolia or the Lapruk Army, they are currently only temporarily in charge of Todd, and there is no army commander!
  After staying with the Viscount for a year and a half, the two people in front of me might be the two future legion commanders!

  "I am willing to serve the Viscount!"

  the two said in unison.

  After admiring the round dome, the remaining topic naturally returned to the southwest highlands.

  Leon had already seen the first halberd made by Sherman with his own eyes yesterday.

  Long enough and sharp enough.

  Both Leon and Todd were quite satisfied and had let the craftsmen build it for days under the leadership of Sherman.

  Sherman even issued a military order specifically for this purpose, ensuring that this weapon would be installed in the Antolian militia within a month, thereby providing sufficient assistance for Leon's goal of marching into the southwest highlands.

  If it can't be done, then put Sherman in the fireplace and think about it.

  What is urgently needed right now is the information that a few people brought back from the southwest highlands.

  Because only by knowing the number of strange tall-footed birds can we design a plan to actually control the southwest highlands.

  As Juan, Andrew and others recounted their experiences along the way, a specific offensive strategy began to slowly take shape in Todd's mind.

   I think it is necessary to draw a map. The soul painter will be online soon, and I will try to complete it in the next two days~
