Chapter 168 The Decision by the Campfire
"What are your plans for the future?" Hamer, who was sitting by the campfire, asked.

Rhodes and the others left Glory City this afternoon. Although they encountered a village in the evening, they didn't want to go in, so they had to spend the night in the wild at the end.

"Don't you continue to be an adventurer as before, don't you want to do something else?" Baron replied.

"I feel that the adventurous life is meaningless now. Although I can meet a lot of people, I will part with them soon. Whether they are dead or alive, I will never meet again in the future." Hammer unconsciously waved the bonfire with a branch .

"Then what do you want to do?" Baron asked again.

"I'm going to do the same as my father arranged at the beginning, to enter the army as a low-level officer, and then slowly climb up based on my military exploits. Although I'm not his heir, I can also get titles and fiefs by myself." Haha Mo replied, he didn't hesitate at all, he might have made such a decision some time ago.

"So you plan to go all the way north to join the ongoing war?" Baron took out two wine jugs from his luggage and handed one to Hamer.

"Yes." Hammer pulled the cork and took a sip of wine, "If you are going to bypass there and return to Nord in another direction, then we may be separated tomorrow."

"Then take care of yourself." Baron raised the jug and had a drink with Hamer.

"Actually, I also want to go to the battlefield. Being an adventurer has no future, and I can't be an adventurer for a lifetime. I want to try my luck. Maybe I can get rid of my status as a commoner and become a noble lord." Rhodes said suddenly.

"Do you also want to join this war?" Baron stared at Rhodes and asked seriously.

Rhodes nodded. This is a plan he made some time ago. The best way to obtain titles and territories in this world is through war.

This year's war, where the two countries almost feel desperate, is a good opportunity for Rhodes. It is said that both the king of Nord and the emperor of the empire have personally led troops to appear on the battlefield.

If the Roman Empire suffers another disastrous defeat like in previous years, there may be danger of destroying the country. As long as the Nords break through the Fortress of Glory, the almost undefended large plain behind the Fortress of Glory will also be occupied by the Nords, and the food of the Roman Empire Mainly produced in these plains.

"Then I'll go with you too. I enjoyed the battle in that fort last time." Baron said after thinking about it.

"Then we don't have to separate." Hamer suddenly had a smile on his face.

"But aren't you going to get a set of armor?" Rhodes asked suddenly.

They killed so many knights of the Dawn Knights before, and Hamer didn't even put together a set of armor for himself. Although the armor on those knights had some damage, but there are so many sets, they can still be picked up. Several full sets of armor.

"If I had to wear armor, I'd only wear what I made myself," Hamer replied.

"Is it because the armor you made yourself was secretly enchanted and you stopped wearing it?" Baron asked again.

"It's a tradition in our family to only wear armor made by myself. If someone is willing to enchant me, I'd love it." Hammer explained.

Enchanting is expensive, but it’s fine on necklaces or rings. If you want to enchant large items like armor, you need to spend a lot of money. Not only do the enchanters need to spend more effort, but the materials required for enchanting are also much more .

If you want to add the lowest level of fortification to an ordinary steel plate armor, you will need to spend at least a few thousand gold coins.

"Then let's speed up the next few days. If we go late, this year's war might be over," Rhodes said.

"Not so fast. It's only November now. As long as it doesn't snow too much, it won't stop in winter. But it's better to speed up." Hammer said after taking a sip of his wine.

"Then how do we go to the north through Fortress of Glory?" Rhodes asked again.

"We can pass through the mountains next to the Fortress of Glory. Although it is difficult for a large-scale army to pass, it should not be a problem for the three of us to pass." Hammer said.

"I have an idea, how about I enter the Fortress of Glory to help you break through this fortified pass. I don't have many Nord features on me. If I disguise myself as a mercenary cavalry, no one will doubt me." Rhodes Said.

He felt that this should be the method with the highest income. If he could succeed, he could at least become a knight, baron, etc. Even if he failed, it would not be difficult to escape with his current strength.The Roman Empire will definitely not send too many people to chase him, and the powerful people will stay in the city and will not chase him, and those weaker ones will not be his opponents even if they have more people, wearing a full set of armor and a gold bell cover Ordinary people can't break through his defense with the iron shirt.

"Is it too dangerous? And you can't do anything by yourself." Baron was a little worried about Rhodes' safety.

"It doesn't matter, I don't think it will be dangerous even if it fails." Rhodes said confidently.

He felt that his ability to make troubles was also first-rate. With Taxue Wuhen, he could quietly assassinate some officers, and maybe even stir up their previous disputes.

After all, the nobles of the Roman Empire were not monolithic, and there were many conflicts of interest, such as competition for positions or family grievances over the years.

If time and conditions permit, Rhodes feels that he might be able to manufacture gunpowder and blow up the city wall at a critical moment.

"Well, you're an adult too, and I don't want to interfere with you too much. This is your own decision. I hope you don't regret it in the future." Baron sighed.

"Do you think we will not be able to pass through the canyon fortress in front? I think we should prepare enough dry food to bypass the nearby mountains." Hammer said suddenly.

Canyon Fortress is a military fortress north of Glory City, which was the border between the Nord Kingdom and the Roman Empire many years ago.Later, because of a civil strife in Nord, the Roman Empire seized the opportunity to push its border northward to the Winterfell Fortress of the Nord Kingdom.

If the glorious fortress of the Roman Empire is breached, they can only think about repelling the Nord Kingdom on the plain behind by relying on the superiority of the cavalry on the plain, or concentrating their forces on the canyon fortress to repel the Nord army.

"It is said that too many people died in that mountain range, so there will be undead haunting at night, which is very dangerous." Baron said suddenly.

"What's so scary about the undead? We've killed a lot of ghouls," Hammer said.

"I didn't say I was afraid, but I just found it very troublesome. And many undead are more powerful than ghouls. They have some illusions, which can make us fall into a dangerous illusion. Maybe what you see in your eyes is a flat land, but it is actually a deep abyss. "Barron explained.

Rhodes thought for a while, "Then let's form a priest together?"
