Zhan Xiaobai retrieved the order to suppress the bandits from Zhang Feng and did not leave in a hurry. He observed that this Dubo seemed to be in a bad mood, and eighty percent of them were in trouble. Then he asked, "Master Zhang, I think you seem to have something troublesome, can you tell me about it?" ”

"This ...... There are indeed some troublesome things," Zhang Feng took a sip of wine depressedly and said, "But it's all military affairs, and it's not convenient to reveal them to the village chief." The two village chiefs only need to cooperate with Bendubo's actions to suppress the bandits. ”

Zhan Xiaobai, Spring and Autumn Shaoxia, and Wutong glanced at each other, hehe. Others may not know what this Uncle is worried about, but they can guess a little. Because they have long dug out the strength of the copycat thieves from the mouths of the bandits. More than 200 thieves condescendingly occupy an extremely favorable terrain, with arrow towers and walled gates, and it is almost impossible for 50 officers and soldiers to storm this impregnable cottage. The rank of officers and soldiers is not much higher than that of thieves. Even with the assistance of the player, it will cost you a lot of casualties. This should be what Dubo Zhang Feng is worried about.

After grasping Zhang Feng's thoughts, Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "Is Lord Zhang worried, there are not enough troops to complete the task of suppressing bandits?" ”

Zhang Feng looked at Zhan Xiaobai in surprise, put down the wine jug, and said, "Oh, how did the village chief know?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai pondered for a moment and asked cautiously: "Master Zhang, can you tell me the whole reason for the matter?" Maybe I can help a little. ”

Zhang Feng hesitated, anyway, this is not a big deal of a secret, and told them that it was okay, so he said: "More than a month ago, there was a group of thieves in Hutou Mountain, and they built a village and called the king. That's it, there are more thieves in the world, and there are not a few of them. Unexpectedly, they actually attacked and destroyed the nearby Gray Sunshine Village, and the news reached Wuwei, and the county Taishou was furious and ordered to exterminate this group of thieves. So Pontub brought 40 foot soldiers and 10 cavalry to suppress the bandits. Originally, I thought that this primary cottage would be at most forty or fifty small thieves, but I attacked carelessly and lost several swordsmen. Only then did I know that the thieves were powerful, as many as one or two hundred people, and the level strength was far from being comparable to ordinary junior cottages. Pondub could only retire for the time being, recruit righteous soldiers on the spot, and after raising enough soldiers, he tried to attack again. ”

Only then did Zhan Xiaobai and the three of them understand. It turned out that the cottage beat the player's village and angered the government. It's a pity that too few soldiers were dispatched, but they suffered a loss.

Zhan Xiaobai asked: "Then how many troops do we have now that we can invest in suppressing bandits?" ”

"The original soldier is 50, and the loss is 3," Zhang Feng simply said all the information and flipped through the task book, "A total of 56 warrior players above level 20 will be recruited, and about 270 players below level 20 will be recruited." That's still too few people. Especially the number of main forces above level 20 is pitiful. To capture the cottage, it is possible to take more than 3 times the strength of the thieves. ”

Zhan Xiaobai made a suggestion at this time, saying: "It's too difficult to attack hard, if we besiege and don't attack, wait for the bandits to run out of food and surrender, okay?" ”

Zhang Feng shook his head and vetoed, and said: "The soldiers and food brought by Bendubo's entourage are scarce, and if you besiege but not attack, I am afraid that it will not be the bandits who will starve to death first, but the men and horses of Bendubo, and they must act within two days today and tomorrow." I wonder if the village chief has any other suggestions? ”

Zhan Xiaobai thought for a moment, got up and said, "I also brought more than 20 players above level 22, let them also come to help Dubo." I'm going to recruit them to sign up. ”

Zhang Feng was overjoyed: "Okay, I didn't expect Village Chief Xiaobai to have such strong strength!" 20 high-level players have greatly increased the strength of Pondub. The village chief, please go back quickly! ”

Zhan Xiaobai didn't say much, and left the tent with the Spring and Autumn Young Heroes and Wutong and walked towards the outside of the camp.

The Spring and Autumn Young Man followed behind him and said suspiciously: "Big brother, I feel that this deal can't be done!" The reward is only 30 copper coins. If you hang up, you will have to drop a level, and it will take 12 hours to return to a completely normal state. Let's upgrade to a level, and the time, energy, and medicine cost will be more than 50 copper. "As for the so-called 'Righteous Warrior' title, it is of no use to players who have built their own cities and have no intention of defecting to NPc warlords and the imperial court.

The player dies, loses 1 level of experience, and randomly drops belongings. Seriously injured within 0~4 hours, all attributes are weakened by 90%. Minor damage within 4~8 hours, all attributes are weakened by 40%. 8~12 hours before returning to normal state.

Zhan Xiaobai said lightly: "Of course it's not cost-effective. We are not full of food and support, why do we help him suppress bandits for no reason. ”

The Spring and Autumn Shaoxia hurriedly said: "Then why did the eldest brother still agree to come down, and call the blood wolf and snow leopard to receive this task together?" ”

Wutong smiled beside him: "Don't worry, young man, I see, Boss Bai must have his own ideas, and it is impossible to suffer." ”

Zhan Xiaobai nodded and said, "You say, how will this NPc Dubo arrange his troops to capture the cottage?" ”

The Spring and Autumn Shaoxia said his tactical thoughts: "According to the most orthodox tactics, naturally let a few squads try to attack the cottage and find out the deployment of the bandits. Then send hundreds of cannon fodder, consume the bandits' bows and arrows, destroy the fence, and even consume part of the bandits' troops. In the end, 100~200 main soldiers charged, broke through the gate of the village in one go, and took the cottage. ”

Zhan Xiaobai said with a smile: "Yes, according to my calculations, this NPc Dubo originally planned to capture the cottage by himself, but he soon found that his troops could not complete the task of capturing the cottage, so he immediately recruited players to help." Obviously, the intention is to use a large number of players as cannon fodder to conserve his own forces as much as possible. At the last moment of victory, his own men occupied the cottage and seized all the belongings stored by the thieves in the cottage. This result is the most beneficial outcome for him. ”

"He's using players and using them as cannon fodder!" The Spring and Autumn Young Man understood, "But in this case, then we shouldn't sign up for this bandit suppression mission." ”

"This NPc Dub's intelligence is extraordinary, I just want to maintain a friendly relationship with him, make a gesture, and pretend to be helpful." Zhan Xiaobai smiled, walked out of the camp gate, and said, "The mission goal of NPc Dubo is to exterminate the thieves in the entire cottage. Does this have any particular benefit for us? ”

"Nope."

Sycamore said thoughtfully.

"Yes, not at all, this cottage is more than ten miles away from our village, and it can't threaten our village at all. Our goal is to eliminate only 10 thieves and complete the task on the Ebony Order, and we don't have to die for him. Let's go, let's go back and join the Blood Wolf, Snow Leopard, and Shadow first. We also have a bandit strategist in our hands, and we may be able to get some unexpected benefits from him. ”

The three of them left the camp and walked towards the location of the blood wolves in the distance. Before they arrived, they heard the noise of an argument coming from there.

"Get out of the way, or don't blame our men for being ruthless." The sound of the snow-capped leopard roaring.

"Oh, I'm so scared. I know that the people in your Xiaobai Village are very powerful, but I can't figure it out, you are only 15 people, how can you take more than 100 people in our Brilliant Village! Hand over that weird-looking NPc, and I'll let you go. ”

A large crowd of hundreds of people surrounded the place. Zhan Xiaobai and the three of them couldn't get over for a while.

The Spring and Autumn Shaoxia's face changed slightly after hearing the name of Brilliant Village, and he hurriedly explained the origin of this Brilliant Village to Zhan Xiaobai, "Big brother, Brilliant Village, like Gray Sunshine Village, is one of the villages closest to Hutou Cottage. ”

Zhan Xiaobai's face was calm, and he couldn't see any expression. He and the Spring and Autumn Shaoxia and Wutong entered the middle of the human circle. I saw a group of nearly 100 players in Brilliant Village, surrounded by their village chief, the Brilliant Swordsman, who was laughing proudly, proud of their strength, and sneering at their weak opponents.
