Olier has no objection to Wu Qi's decision. The rat people have a bad reputation among the demihuman races. Relying on their ability to make holes, they often sneak into the warehouses of other demihuman races to steal the hard work of others. accumulated food.

Really hateful!
Back when the steel barbarians were still dominating the Mer River, they had dealt with these guys, and they had a bad impression.

If you do evil, just do evil, it won't affect much.

"How many tribes of demi-human races do we have to go through?"

Seeing that Olier's fingers were still going to scratch on the animal skin, Wu Qi couldn't help asking.

Good guy, there are only three tribes, and the distance is almost 300 kilometers.

Make it clear, this is 300 kilometers in the forest, not 300 kilometers in the plains, it's not a concept at all, okay?
Looking at the appearance of seven or eight circles crossed on the animal skin map, Wu Qi suddenly felt a little empty.

Could it be that the winter is over and you can't get out of the forest?
Olier froze for a moment: "No, just these three!"

"Then what are those circles on your top?"

"Oh, that's a reserved position, just add it if you encounter it in the future."

Olier is confident.

"Okay, you go on."

Wu Qi wiped his forehead and accepted it.

"In the next few days, we will be able to get out of the forest."

To Wu Qi's surprise, Olier didn't draw back and forth on the animal skin map this time, but said something lightly.

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

After a while, Wu Qi finally couldn't bear it any longer, and said in surprise, "It's gone?"

"Gone!"

Olier was honest.

"Why is it gone? What about the route? Which direction to go? How far? Is there a forbidden area? These are the key!!"

Are you kidding me?
What the hell is walking on some days?

"do not know!"

Olier shook his head.

"Those guys won't tell?"

Wu Qi frowned.

"That's not true, those trainee knights don't know either!"

"I don't know? How could they not know? I don't know how they get out?"

Wu Qi was even more puzzled.

"They have engraved marks on every section they pass by. These marks can help them identify the direction. The three places just now are because they are obvious, so they can remember clearly."

"Actually, after leaving the clan of the Ratmen, you have to walk around the forest for more than ten days before you can get out of the forest. It's far away!"

Olier sighed and shook his head.

"Damn! So far? Where did you go back then?"

Wu Qi was very sad.

He expected that it would be difficult to get out of the forest, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult!
Looking at it like this, I can't get out of the forest for half a month.

Difficult!
"I don't know. These apprentice knights only know the existence of the Mer River, but they don't know where it is."

Olier looked sad: "We really escaped too far back then!"

"Old man, with me here, sooner or later, the name of the steel man will float on the Meier River again, and everyone will come to worship!!"

Wu Qi patted Olier on the shoulder and made a solemn promise.

"I also believe that under the leadership of His Highness, the Steel Barbarians will surely regain the glory of their ancestors!"

Olier is not that kind of temperamental person, he quickly dispelled the sadness in his heart, and said with a smile.

"Okay, the forces in the forest almost know about it, what's the situation outside the forest?"

Wu Qi tactfully skipped this topic, and directly asked about the situation outside the forest.

"Don't let me look for it!"

Olier looked down at the animal skin map, pondered for a while, and then said: "According to those knights, after leaving the forest, about 700 bushels away, there is a fortress—the Red Maple Fortress!"

"fortress?"

Wu Qi frowned.

If it is a fortress, it will be a little troublesome.

Maybe there are a large number of knights stationed inside, which is not good news for Wu Qi.

"Well, but it's just a small fortress. It was built by a viscount named Kirby. According to my experience, there is no more than 30 knights stationed in it. Don't worry too much."

Olier couldn't deny it.

How can I say that Olier is also a person from the Mer River era, and he is relatively clear about the configuration of the Human Knights.

Knights are different from knights. A nobleman can support many knights, but he may not be able to support a knights.

In the Mer River era, Olier clearly remembered that to support a qualified trainee knight, the annual cost was more than 20 Galleons, and this was only a regular situation.

If there is a battle, the cost will be doubled several times.

The cost of formal knights and higher levels is even more astronomical.

A number that ordinary civilians may have never heard of!
And the Knights spend far more than the Knights, let's take money as an example!
A standard full-staffed knight order with 100 trainee knights would cost more than 10 Galleons a year!

One gold galleon is enough for a commoner to live affluently for one year, 10 gold galleons, what is that concept?
That is the rich life of 10 civilians for one year!
You know, in the fiefdom of a baron noble, all the people, including slaves, may not even have 5.

Only aristocrats above the viscount can support such a powerful weapon of the knight order, and the baron can only train a few knights to the limit.

Even if it is a Viscount, if the Knights in his hand can reach the full number of 100 people, it is already considered relatively rich and powerful, and ordinary Viscounts can't reach it.

For a small fortress like the Red Maple Fortress, it is already a high standard to send 30 people to guard it.

"30 people?"

Wu Qi's frown gradually loosened.

If it is a knight group with only 30 members, it is not that there is no effort, and Wu Qi does not intend to fight recklessly.

Even if the steel barbarians are old and young, there are only about 300 people, so they can fight with their heads?
36 meter, meter meter leads to the road.

Wu Qi has plenty of ways to play with them!
His main concern was that the noise would be too loud, and it wouldn't be worthwhile for the nobles to focus their guns on him.

"go on."

"Passing the Red Maple Fortress, it is the Viscount Kirby, and around the Viscount, there are four barons, namely the Bach Baron in the east, the Roo Baron in the west, the Stock Baron in the middle and the last baron. Baron Claude in the north!"

"This viscounty and four baronies control all the land around the forest exit. By the way, the knights we captured are from the Bach baronies!"

Olier kept moving his hand on the animal skin map, pointing to several blank places and talking.

"One viscount and four barons, huh, it looks like we have quite a few opponents!!"

Wu Qi was scorched by the blazing stove, so he couldn't help but stood up, walked to the window, looked at the snowflakes falling outside, and let out a long breath.
