(Take a break from your busy schedule, go on, hehe)
"Barbaric Bull, you will lead five archers to guard the village. Xue 'er and I will lead the rest to destroy their village. Let these people know that I, Wenhou Lu Bu, am not someone they can bully!”Lu Bu said in high spirits as he looked at the fleeing Immortal Cultivators.
"Wait, Wen Hou, our village's population has already reached the upper limit. Even if we destroy their village, we will only be able to obtain some food and other resources. Why don't we wait for us to upgrade to an Intermediate Village before finding trouble with them? Firstly, we can quickly replenish our population and increase our strength. Secondly, after upgrading to an Intermediate Village, we will have two more subsidiary territories. We can occupy their village and set it as our subsidiary village, saving us the trouble of building it!”Bull quickly stopped him. It was not easy to build a village.
"My lord, I agree with Lord Barbaric Bull. If we can successfully occupy their village, we can save ten days of development time and nearly a thousand copper coins!”Now, Zhang Xue's loyalty and intimacy had both reached 90 points. She was no longer like before, where she would only offer advice when Lu Bu asked. Gradually, she began to take the initiative to consider for Lu Bu. As long as it was beneficial to Lu Bu, she would take the initiative to do it. Just like this time, she actually took the initiative to participate in the battle.
"Alright, then let them help us store food for two more days. Now, think about which village we should attack next.”Both of his subordinates were against it, especially when it concerned his own interests. In the end, Lu Bu did not act arbitrarily. He made a rare joke and began to think about which intermediate mountain stronghold he should take.
"My lord, within a hundred miles, there are six villages. Among them, Black Bear Village, which is eighty miles away from us, is the most powerful. It has four hundred and eighty soldiers under it. Black Bear is also a mid-level general, and his thirty guards are all regular soldiers with combat power around 25. With our current strength, even if you defeat the other party with your courage, it will be a tragic victory. It will be extremely disadvantageous to our development. This subordinate believes that our target this time should be here!”Zhang Xue pointed at the simple map on the table. It was a small mountain 30 miles away from Furious Bears Village.
"This place is called White Wolf Mountain, and there is a stronghold called White Wolf Bastion. The leader of the stronghold, White Wolf, is a low-level general. He has 180 soldiers under him, and only ten of them are regular soldiers. With our current strength, coupled with the cooperation of my subordinates and my lord, we should be able to take down White Wolf Bastion.”The most important thing to judge the strength of a village was the strength of the village leader and the number of regular soldiers. For example, when more than a dozen villages joined forces to attack, more than a hundred militia were crippled by fifteen regular soldiers. It could be seen that these militia were no different from cannon fodder.
"Mm, Wen Hou, Miss Zhang Xue is right. This White Wolf Bastion is considered a medium grade village. It should be able to produce a blueprint to upgrade an intermediate village!”Bull nodded in agreement. Every Basic Village had a Basic Village Construction Blueprint, but it was not necessarily the case for an Intermediate Village Upgrade Blueprint. The probability of an Intermediate Village getting an Intermediate Village Upgrade Blueprint was only 80%. Although it was not considered low, it was generally harder for weaker villages to get it.
"Rest for a day. Tomorrow, the Barbaric Bulls will guard the village. Xue 'er and I will lead ten soldiers to the White Wolf Bastion!”Ever since he had witnessed Zhang Xue's usefulness, Lu Bu's respect for her had clearly increased. The poor Barbaric Bull, as the second most powerful person in Furious Bears Village and the second most powerful in martial arts, could only defend the village.
However, Bull had no complaints about this decision. Zhang Xue was indeed more useful on the battlefield than a general. Moreover, Lu Bu, who was far more powerful than Bull, was by her side. Why would she want him to go?
In order to match Zhang Xue's ability to slow down the enemy, Lu Bu had made some adjustments to the soldiers who were guarding the village. Five archers and five sword-shieldbearers were taken away by Lu Bu, leaving five spearmen for the Barbaric Bull.
Nowadays, most players were either developing their villages or accepting quests in the various system cities. Very few people dared to go out because in the early stages of the game, the players 'strength was generally low, and very few of them had strength above 10. They could not deal with any random mountain bandit. Therefore, only people like Lu Bu who were extremely strong in real life dared to go out and wander around.
"My lord, this is the White Wolf Bastion." Zhang Xue pointed at a village of some scale in front of them.
Seeing that the defenses of this stronghold were much tighter than those of the other primary strongholds, Lu Bu smiled. This was what a stronghold should look like.
"My lord, we have too few troops. It's not good for us to attack the mountain. This subordinate thinks that it's best to lure them out!”Zhang Xue suggested.
Lure them out? Lu Bu looked at the sentry tower in the distance. The bandit goons had already noticed the group, but they didn't give any warning, probably because Lu Bu's side had too few people.
"Bring me the bow and arrows!" Lu Bu extended his hand, and an archer respectfully handed his wooden bow and an arrow to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu shook his head as he weighed the wooden bow in his hand. It was too light, but it was still enough. He would show these bandits his Godly Shooting.
Lu Bu drew his bow and nocked the arrow. The wooden bow that wasn't particularly tough was pulled back like a full moon. Lu Bu calculated the force and let go of the arrow. The sharp arrow drew a perfect arc in the air and instantly pierced into the throat of the bandit on the sentry tower. The immense force directly broke his neck, and the huge head fell into the stronghold with blood flying everywhere.
"Pa ~" The wooden bow, which was not very sturdy to begin with, finally ended its short life after shooting this powerful arrow. It broke into two pieces.
Lu Bu casually threw the wooden bow onto the ground. The village had already been thrown into chaos and clamor. Lu Bu knew that he had achieved his goal.
"Creak!" The thick gates of the stronghold opened, and a large group of mountain bandits swarmed out of the stronghold under the lead of a tall and muscular man riding a good warhorse.
The brawny man held a machete in his hand and pointed it at Lu Bu. He said sternly,""Who is it? How dare you hurt my brothers?" His wolf-like gaze swept towards Lu Bu and the others. Other than Lu Bu, even Zhang Xue felt as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast. Their eyes subconsciously shrank.
Glancing coldly at his subordinates, Lu Bu frowned and shouted,""Raise your heads! Look at you, do you still deserve to be a warrior? Raise your heads and get ready to kill the enemy. I, Lu Fengxian, am a subordinate of Flying Bears Village. I don't want cowardly warriors! Whoever dared to do this again would automatically throw down their weapons after returning, remove their armor, and die!”
After saying that, Lu Bu ignored the infantry and turned to look at the burly man on the warhorse. His sharp gaze was like two sharp arrows, meeting the burly man's fierce gaze. If the burly man's gaze was like a wolf's, then Lu Bu's gaze was like a divine dragon soaring in the sky.
Perhaps it was just an illusion, but the burly man was clearly sitting on a warhorse. In addition to the fact that he was on the hill, his position was much higher than Lu Bu's. However, at this moment, he looked up at Lu Bu as if everyone in the world should look up to him.
Lu Bu had fought for his entire life, and he had never once lost a single battle. In the endless battles and killings, he continued to win, and one famous general after another was defeated by him. Naturally, he had an aura of arrogance. Not to mention a small bandit leader, even a generation of Divine Generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would not be able to resist his aura.
He took his halberd from Zhang Xue and pointed it at the burly man with disdain. He said coldly,"Your people were killed by me.”
As the leader of a village, he was actually frightened by the aura of a pretty boy who didn't even have a warhorse. The burly man was a little embarrassed and angry. When he heard this, he shouted angrily,"How dare you hurt my brother? Watch how I kill you!”
Lu Bu's imposing manner had caused him to feel a little apprehensive, so he had immediately ordered all the bandits to charge together. Although he was leading the charge, he had deliberately controlled his horse's speed so that he did not lose contact with the bandits. Ten regular soldiers followed closely behind him.
A trace of disdain flashed in Lu Bu's eyes. If he cowered before the battle, there was no need to fight anymore.
"Xue 'er!" Lu Bu looked at Zhang Xue, as if they were telepathically connected. Zhang Xue waved her white feather fan, and the charging bandits, with the exception of their chief, all slowed down. The white wolf did not immediately notice, and continued to charge at Lu Bu, quickly separating from the rest of the group.
"Very good!" A sinister smile appeared on Lu Bu's face as he took a step forward. Although his charge wasn't as fierce as a warhorse's, it was agile. Furthermore, his opponent wasn't charging at full speed, so the warhorse's charge wasn't very fierce.
The white wolf had also noticed that its underlings had slowed down. It wanted to control its warhorse to slow down again, but Lu Bu had already charged forward, his sharp halberd stabbing at its throat.
In a moment of desperation, the white wolf quickly blocked Lu Bu's halberd.
"Humph!" Lu Bu sneered in disdain. He twisted his halberd and used the halberd to block the machete. Then, a huge force came from the machete. The white wolf's hand heated up and the machete almost fell out of his hand.
"Zi ~" An ear-piercing sound of metal rubbing against metal rang out. Under Lu Bu's control, the halberd suddenly spun, creating a fierce friction with the machete. The white wolf could no longer hold onto the machete, and it flew out of its hand, stabbing into the ground.
The white wolf, which had lost its weapon, could no longer resist. It turned its horse around and was about to retreat.
"Humph!" Looking at the white wolf that had turned its back to him, Lu Bu sneered in disdain. His halberd flew out of his hand and stabbed into the back of the white wolf's neck.
"Hehehe ~" The white wolf covered his throat with one hand and kept inhaling cold air. A burning pain came from his throat. He wanted to scream loudly, but when it reached his mouth, it became a gasping sound. Large amounts of blood spurted out from his throat like it was free. The strength in his body seemed to be flowing with the blood.
[System Notification: Intermediate Stronghold Leader White Wolf has been killed. The Mountain Thieves of the White Wolf Bastion have entered a state of frenzy. Their combat power has increased by 10% for 10 minutes. As you have killed the White Wolf, the morale of your soldiers has increased. Their combat power has increased by 10%. You have received 2,000 reputation points.]
When the bandits saw that their leader had died, they did not immediately disperse. Instead, they charged at Lu Bu with bloodshot eyes.
Facing the onslaught of hundreds of bandits, Lu Bu remained expressionless. He pulled out his halberd from the white wolf's neck, causing blood to spurt out as he mounted Bai Lai's horse.
[System Notification: You have obtained a high-level warhorse.]
The halberd sent the bandit in the lead flying, and its body slammed into the other bandits behind it. It then shook the reins, and the horse beneath it neighed as it stood up. It then stomped down, and the chest of two bandits caved in.
Following that, Lu Bu's halberd displayed its might. He hacked, slashed, poked, and stabbed. None of the bandits could get close to him. The ten soldiers under Lu Bu's command also had high morale. Under Zhang Xue's command, they charged forward. Zhang Xue directed the archers to shoot, while the five sword-shield men consciously rushed to Lu Bu's side. Together with Lu Bu, they killed nearly a hundred bandits.
Ten minutes later, the remaining forty bandits scattered in all directions.
With a complete victory, other than the unfortunate sword-shield soldier who was heavily injured, the others had more or less benefited. Lu Bu's combat power had been judged by the system to have increased once again, reaching 30. As for the ten soldiers under him, including the injured one, their combat power had also increased a little. The strongest one had increased to 23. As for Zhang Xue, who was in charge of the overall situation, her intelligence had also increased a little. Coupled with the increase in intelligence from dealing with government affairs over the past few days, Zhang Xue's intelligence had now reached 65.
< System Notification: The Chieftain of White Wolf Bastion has died. The Mountain Thieves in the stronghold have fled. You can choose to occupy or destroy this stronghold.>
Without any hesitation, Lu Bu chose to destroy it. The nine combat experts under him quickly entered the stronghold, and an endless stream of supplies was carried out from the stronghold. There were even three carriages!
