Chapter 718: Equipping them isn't very good, right
The number of scouts is still not many, only 24 people!
These are the same 24 people who fought with the Thunder Knights last time and now they have formed a small team again. They had been through life and death together, and their bond was stronger than ordinary comrades. They were happy to be reformed into a team, and they shook hands and patted each other's backs.
Several Wind Knights said to Robb, "It's reassuring to go out and scout the enemy with Mr. Robb again. If it weren't for you last time, we wouldn't have come back alive."
Robb smiled and said, "Thats an overstatement. It was all just luck."
The Wind Knights pushed forward to the south of the Magic Temple for 30 miles, set up camp, and then sent out scouts to scatter and gather information on everything within dozens of miles before they could start attacking the city.
Robb's team was the strongest among the scouts, not only because of his participation, but also because there were two Black Earth Knights. They headed northwest towards the canyon between the Black Pine Mountains and the Magic Temple.
Walking on the rugged mountain road, Kante was excited and said, "Let me tell you guys, I have become stronger. I tried my new combat skills and magic last night, and they are so powerful!"
Everyone responded with a dismissive gesture.
Only Robb remained silent, looking at the map.
Seeing that no one believed him except for Robb, Kante became anxious and said, "Why can't you trust me a little?"
The Wind Knights shook their heads together and said, "We're not stupid! Kante, can't you be more practical? Look at your own strength honestly, and then do things and say things that match your abilities. You and Mr. Robb are about the same age, but the gap in your abilities is huge. Mr. Robb is working hard on the map to plan for us, while you're just a thug."
Kante was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Just as they were talking, Robb put away the map and said, "Wait here for me. I suddenly need to go to the bathroom. I'll be back in a minute."
The other 23 people had to wait for him, and they chatted awkwardly for several minutes. Then, Robb came out of the woods holding a pile of strange wood in his hands, which covered his whole body and looked like a pile of logs.
"This one..."
He would explain each bow's function as he handed them out. In a short time, he had distributed more than a dozen bows. Everyone looked a bit strange after hearing his explanations.
These weren't just ordinary equipment for scouts. Each bow was a masterpiece. Even generals would find it hard to obtain just one of them. It was like giving away cabbages for free.
Of course, Kante was used to this. Godfather, his boss in Westwind City, always gave his subordinates equipment like this. No matter how expensive the equipment was, it was not as valuable as the soldiers under his command. He would give them all master-level equipment, even if they only had the smallest combat skill, they would be able to create an explosive effect.
Kante pulled Robb's arm and said, "Robb, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Robb followed him to one side, away from the others. Only then did Kante lower his voice and whisper in his ear, "Brother Robb, is it really a good idea to give them so much equipment from Westwind City?"
Robb asked, "Why do you think it's not a good idea?"
Kante replied in a very low voice, "Who knows if Godfather will declare himself king in the future? The relationship between West Gran and Westwind City could become very delicate. Giving them ordinary equipment is one thing, but if you give them the amazing equipment made by Godfather, I'm afraid these people will become our enemies if Godfather becomes king. That would be a setback for Godfather."
Robb exclaimed, "Damn! You're smarter than usual!"
Kante replied, "Is this something only smart people would think of? If even I, a fool, can see it, I'm afraid everyone still in Westwind City is thinking about this."
Robb chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry. My teacher has no desire to be king. He's such a lazy person, how could he possibly be a king?"
