Chapter 109: The Water Thief

Although there were quite a few second-order water thieves on the riverbank, they were easily cleaned up by the soldiers of Dashan Town.

More than 20 tier-2 water thieves appeared around the water thief camp, with 5 people in each group, and the total number exceeded 100. However, it was not enough to see in front of the 200 third-order soldiers and second-order archers led by Chen Ping and Chen Li, and they almost collapsed at the touch of a button, and happily contributed more than 30 second-order skill books and the corresponding number of weapons and equipment to Yang Rui.

"Basic Water Warfare: Soldier Tier 2 Skill Book, which can upgrade a Tier 1 militia to a Tier 2 Sailor!"

"Three-pointed Iron Fork: Grade Normal, Pawn Only, Attack 10-15, Level Requirement: 10, Durability: 18/20!"

Although it is only a second-order skill book, Yang Rui attaches great importance to it. With these skill books and corresponding weapons and equipment, Dashan Town can quickly become a water pawn, thus taking the first step in water power.

Previously, there was always a small threat in the Black Dragon Pond adjacent to Dashan Town, that is, the plush stone turtle camp has not been able to control zhì, so that Dashan Town has been facing the threat of plush stone turtles from the water, and there are often fishing boats and even docks attacked by plush stone turtles!

Although the plush stone turtle is only a first-order monster, it has also brought a lot of trouble to Yang Rui, and at present, Dashan Town has found the approximate location of the plush stone turtle's lair, if there are a few second-order water soldiers, this kind of trouble will not exist!

Although the second-order water thieves on the river bank are easy to deal with, the water thieves on the water are not so simple.

When Yang Rui led two teams of soldiers to the nest of the water thief camp, he found that the dock of the water thief was actually separated from the river bank, and between the dock and the shore was dense lotus leaves, and the green weeds on the river bank could not distinguish the boundary, and from a distance, it seemed that the dock was built on the shore, so that when Yang Rui came to check last time, he didn't find the truth!

Since the location of the dock was still out of range of bows and arrows, Yang Rui and his 200 soldiers were blocked on the embankment, and they could only sigh with joy, there was nothing they could do about the water thieves who entered and exited the dock clipper.

In fact, the water thieves in the dock had already discovered the movements of Yang Rui's soldiers, after all, they were a big target of more than 200 people. However, these water thieves only sent two boats to the shore at the beginning, and a total of 10 water thieves landed to check the situation.

The 10 water thieves who landed on the shore could not get close to Yang Rui and the others, and they were all killed by Yang Rui in seconds under a round of arrow rain attacks, and two skill books and three weapons were exploded.

"Water Battle Advanced: Soldier Rank 3 Skill Book, you can upgrade a Tier 2 Pawn to a Tier 3 Pawn!"

"Harpoon: Normal Grade, Pawn Only, Attack 25-30, Level Required: 30, Durability: 22/30!"

However, with the 10 Tier 3 water thieves being killed in an instant, the two boats on the shore were already aware of it, and immediately fled back to the dock, and since then, the water thieves in the dock have never dared to approach the shore again!

It seems that all humanoid NPCs in the game that involve the word "thief", whether it is a "water thief" or a "thief", are generally very timid and cautious! Just like the thieves in Gaoqiao Market Town and the water thieves here, they all belong to this type, compared to the likes of "mountain bandits" and "rogue bandits", there is a big difference between the fierce Cheng dù!

However, cowardice also has a difficult side to deal with, in a scene like the current one, if you change to an NPC such as a mountain bandit or a rogue, maybe you will take the initiative to pounce on Yang Rui's soldiers and fight hard, but you will only hide far away from this group of cowardly water thieves!

And Yang Rui couldn't do anything about it, he spent most of the morning with his soldiers in circles, trying to find suitable materials to build a pontoon bridge to connect the dock with the riverbank, or to find a narrow part of the river so that the archers could directly block the pirate ships coming and going on the river.

Unfortunately, the location of the water thief camp was originally near the source of Wenshui, and the river bank was mostly overgrown with reeds or aquatic plants, so it was difficult to find suitable materials to cross the river to the water thief dock; This section of the water is very wide, and it is even more difficult to find a throat suitable for blocking the water thief boats.

Unable to brush the water thieves for the time being, Yang Rui had to lead the soldiers back to the vicinity of Shuiyuan Village, and simply let Chen Li and Chen Ping lead 200 of his subordinates to clean up the associated monster communities around Shuiyuan Village.

Most of the monsters in these companion communities are at level 10, and naturally they can't stop the sharp attacks of the 2nd and 3rd order soldiers. Yang Rui took advantage of the afternoon time to go back to Dashan Town directly, and brought 100 of the first-level militia of Dashan Town directly to Shuiyuan Village.

Although the site for the construction of Shuiyuan Village is very remote, in the process of cleaning up the half-life monster community, Chen Li and Chen Ping found another player village, which is only dozens of miles away from Shuiyuan Village, which is almost impossible to count as a distance on the game map that is magnified by 100 times!

This village is currently only a primary village, and the population is only more than 100 people, it looks like it has just been established in the village, and its military strength is also quite limited, Yang Rui only saw about 10 militiamen looking inside the wooden gate of the village, but as for the figure of the second-order soldiers, he didn't see any of them!

When Yang Rui personally rushed over to check, this primary village was already closed, and it looked like it was facing a great enemy. It's no wonder that this village called "Hanxiang Village" has such a reaction, just imagine that when the army is so weak, someone with 200 soldiers who are higher than the 1st or 2nd order will be hanging in front of their own house, anyone will be nervous!

Yang Rui had no intention of disturbing the peace of this village, and after coming over to check and confirm that there was no threat, he took Chen Li, Chen Ping, and a group of soldiers to stay away from this frightened village as much as possible.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of this "Hanxiang Village" that the distribution of half-life monster communities in this area is relatively dense, and only within a radius of 10 miles from Shuiyuan Village, Yang Rui has found 5 associated monster communities, which are just suitable for Yang Rui's first-order militia leveling.

At the same time, Yang Rui also deliberately handed over the two skill books of basic water warfare and advanced water warfare to the soldiers who were about to advance, and arranged for them to comprehend and advance in the dock of Dashan Town, Black Dragon Pond.

If you can't think of a way to deal with the water thieves in a short period of time, you can't say that you will have to wait for these soldiers to advance to water thieves before you can start farming the water thieves!

Yang Rui's plan was redundant, because that afternoon he had found a suitable method for brushing water thieves, and this method was obtained from the neighbor of Shuiyuan Village---- "Hanxiang Village".
