Your happiness is like writing on the surface of the water, while your pain is like being carved into granite.

The raging fire that had ignited in the settlement was not extinguished until dawn by Yamashita Yoshiki and more than 400 barbarian warriors, but the settlement, which had been quiet and peaceful a day before, had been burned to the ground, and there was not even a single intact house.

The tragic casualties of more than 50 warriors killed and more than 300 men, women, and children burned alive made the barbarian warriors who had lost their homes uncontrollable rage;

In the face of such a great opportunity, Yamashita Yoki and Nishimura Jun, who had just established a certain prestige, naturally would not miss it in vain; they had planned for a long time, first to appease the angry warriors and clean up the remnants of the settlement, and then to start to rectify the warriors and young men in the settlement.

In the settlement of less than 450 warriors, there were not a few old people and women who wanted revenge due to the death of their families.

After a whole day of packing and counting, all the remaining grain in the settlement was collected, and all the soldiers who took up arms were assigned to Nishimura Jun, and another 150 female warriors will follow Yamashita Yoki to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the old and weak women and children.

There was no way, the destruction of the homeland and the exhaustion of food forced the warriors who were anxious for revenge to embark on the road of revenge with the old and weak women and children in the settlement.

Nishimura Jun, who was one step ahead, had a total of 450 warriors, 300 female warriors, and 500 elderly warriors under his command;

The old warriors who have extremely rich combat experience are only inferior to the young fighters in terms of physical strength and energy; if only the killing skills are concerned, 500 old warriors can easily take over 450 young warriors, which is the strength of the barbarian old warriors.

Even though the older fighters have a lot of combat experience, they are still difficult to compare with the younger fighters, because if the battle is slightly scorched, the older fighters who are not physically strong and have little energy will become weaker and weaker, and the younger fighters will be able to hold out in battle for a long time.

Considering the impact of revenge and anger on combat effectiveness, Yamashita Yoki and Nishimura Jun deliberately incorporated female warriors and veteran soldiers into the army;

After the soldiers in the settlement were reorganized into an army, the 'hero' Nishimura who nominally saved the settlement served as the commander, but in fact the noble warriors in the settlement were in charge of the army together with Nishimura, because no matter what, Nishimura was an outsider after all.

Even if all the warriors and civilians in the settlement regarded Yamashita Yoki and his spies and Nishimura and his ninjas as trustworthy heroes, the time they had been integrated into the settlement was so short that no one supported them as the new leader.

Having won the trust of all the warriors and the common people, and even the power of the settlement is in the hands of himself and others, they still cannot become the new commanders who are justifiable; Yamashita Yoki and Nishimura Jun have a clear understanding of the stubbornness of the barbarians.

After two days of sleepless marching, the vengeful army finally came to a much larger settlement, with a population of nearly 20,000 but fewer than 1,500 warriors.

This is also the status quo of the settlements under the rule of the Luxi tribe, and the tense tension with the Eastern Alliance forced its leader, Viriacius, to send warriors from various tribes to the border area to prevent a possible attack by the Eastern Alliance.

Compared with the northwestern and eastern parts of Lu, which were closer to the front line, southwestern Lunan, which could almost be regarded as the main rear, was naturally the focus of the transfer, so much so that there were only about 1,400 soldiers in this settlement with a total population of nearly 20,000.

After understanding the situation in this settlement, Yamashita Yoki insisted that the leader of this settlement was one of the murderers who betrayed the Luxi tribe and sent people to secretly attack other tribes;

After a short rest of about two hours, Nishimura took 300 female warriors and 500 elderly warriors, disguised as barbarian people who had migrated to the settlement, and approached this unsuspecting settlement under the banner of asking for help.

If Nishimura had approached the settlement with four hundred and fifty warriors armed with various weapons at the beginning, then the leader of the settlement would not have been defenseless in anything, but the leader of the settlement really did not suspect anything in a team of eight hundred women and old men of the same clan.

When Nishimura Jun really walked into this settlement with female warriors and veteran warriors, the female warriors who couldn't control their anger came over without waiting for the smiling leader of the settlement to greet them, and took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the other tribe's warriors around them!

Before the defeated warriors of this settlement could react, the elderly warriors under the command of Nishimura launched an even more fierce attack, and the female warriors and elderly warriors who thought they were taking revenge were attacking like crazy, Nishimura felt his scalp tingle.

The hundreds of enemy soldiers who were close to the entrance of the settlement were cut down to the ground by a crowd of female warriors and elderly warriors in just a few minutes, and then the enemy soldiers in the settlement were still gathering, and the 450 warriors under the command of Nishimura Jun had also rushed in.

A group of 1,250 warriors with the flames of vengeance burning in their chests suddenly attacked a settlement with fewer than 1,500 warriors, and after a fierce battle lasted about an hour, the stunned settlement finally surrendered with heavy casualties.

Surrendering to the strong men of his own clan was not an unacceptable outcome for the vast majority of the barbarian people, and the leader of the settlement, who had less than 500 soldiers left, was not willing to allow his settlement to be destroyed after his entire army had been destroyed.

Nishimura, who achieved his goal, wanted to accept the surrender of the enemy, but he couldn't convince the vengeful barbarian warriors, and in the end, all the warriors of this unlucky innocent settlement were slaughtered by the red-eyed barbarian warriors!

Fortunately, the barbarian warriors, whose conscience had not been completely extinguished, did not point their butcher knives at the heads of the old and weak women and children of this tribe, and in addition to the more than 1,000 old and weak women and children who were 'killed by mistake', Yamashita Yoki and Nishimura Jun obtained more than 18,000 additional prisoners.

The price paid for the successful destruction of a medium-sized settlement, Yoki Yamashita and Nishimura, was only the death of more than 400 barbarian warriors, and as for the spies and ninjas under their command, they experienced this short but fierce battle unscathed.

With only 800 warriors left under his command, including the wounded, Nishimura has selected 1,200 female warriors and elderly warriors with a certain combat effectiveness from the 18,000 captives, and they will continue to march on the next 'murderer tribe'!
