Chapter 46: Exterminate the Bandits
"Boss, the bandits have rushed up, what should we do?" Mama Tea lay next to Li Mu and looked at the scene of the bloody battle at the entrance of the village.
"You and Manid go up with me, and copy the retreat of this group of bandits from behind, and you must not let one go." Li Mu spit out the grass stalk in his mouth, and then felt the Thunder Flying Axe from his waist.
"Okay, boss, you can see. If it were in the woods, I would be able to deal with these dozen bandits alone. Mama Tea also drew her scimitar.
"Be careful, don't capsize in the gutter, I'll go up first, and you two will get on again when you find a chance. Also, put the young girls behind the grass so they don't find out. Li Mu said as he scurried out from behind the grass like a raccoon cat, and then quickly moved towards the entrance of the village along the shadows.
"You guys hide here and don't make a sound, let's go up and kill a few robbers and come back." Mama Cha turned around and said hello, and slipped in the other direction like an ape.
Seeing this, Manid didn't say much, but slowly approached the battlefield along the side of the road with the crossbow he had snatched from the Dark Pilgrim to prevent anyone from escaping.
"You guys wait here, I'll help." Cress said as he pulled out the dagger that Li Mu threw at them from his waist, and then slowly leaned towards the entrance of the village.
Jamila sighed when she saw this, although she also wanted to go up to help, but after looking at the young girls who were still shivering behind her, she had to stay, comfort a few people, relieve their tension, and prevent chaos.
After Li Mu approached the battlefield, he happened to see the bandit leader Hollande riding a tall horse to supervise the battle at the rear of the team.
In line with the concept of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, Li Mu directly threw a flying axe at Hollande, and then pulled out two flying axes and threw them at the two thieves next to him.
Hollande is worthy of being the leader of the bandits, he is more alert than the other bandits, and his ability is also higher, after feeling the wind pressure behind his head, he reluctantly tilted his head, although he gave way to the fatal position, but his ears did not dodge. A sharp throwing axe cut off Hollande's ear.
"Who?" As soon as Hollande lifted the reins of the horse, the black horse under his crotch turned around and faced the direction of the sneak attack.
Then, answering him, there was indeed a stronger wind pressure.
Hollande hurriedly raised his steel knife to parry. However, before he could fully lift the steel knife, Hollande felt a great force coming from the knife, then felt the darkness in front of him, and then, he knew nothing.
Two pieces of Hollande's corpse were scattered to the ground, blood splattering everywhere. This scene frightened many bandits who looked back to watch. Although they usually do things like killing people and slaughtering villages, it is the first time they have seen people split alive. This tragic scene made them all tremble. While it doesn't make you vomit like a coward, it will take at least a while to get used to.
However, Li Mu did not give them time to adapt. He shook his two-handed axe, then picked it up again, slashing it down with great force, and another bandit who couldn't dodge was split in half diagonally. This trick made the bandits see more clearly, and many of the bandits felt a burst of cold air on their backs.
Hmph, a cold light flashed, and Li Mu's two-handed axe once again cut the two bandits who couldn't dodge into two pieces.
At this time, the nerves of the bandits finally couldn't resist.
"Devil, run."
The remaining dozen or so bandits were frightened, and they drove their horses to bypass Li Mu and escape from here.
However, at this moment, a thin figure jumped down from the boulder next to him, and suddenly jumped onto the horse of a bandit on the far left, and with a wave of the steel knife in the hand of the thin figure, the thief on the horse covered his neck and fell. But the thin figure didn't look at it, and turned to kill the other bandits.
At the same time, Manid slowly approached the group of bandits with a hunting crossbow.
With a whoosh, a crossbow bolt struck the neck of one of the bandits, who clutched his neck in pain and dismounted, apparently not living long. Manid threw the crossbow in his hand aside, pulled out another crossbow from behind his back and continued to aim at the bandits. His main purpose was not to kill, but to deter, so that these bandits would not dare to leave from the main road.
With the addition of Li Mu and others, the villagers seemed to see hope, reorganized the formation, and surrounded the bandits when Li Mu and several people were panicked to kill the bandits, and then poked the bandits off the horses with pitchforks and wooden sticks.
The bandits originally relied on the freedom of horses to come and go, coupled with the power of horse sprints, to kill villagers wantonly. However, once this strongest help is lost, when facing villagers who are more numerous than them, they will naturally only have the ability to parry and have no power to fight back. Coupled with the support of Li Mu and others, soon more than a dozen bandits died and were wounded, except for the four unlucky ones who were captured, the rest were killed on the spot.
It is worth mentioning that in the middle of the scuffle, Kress suddenly flashed out of the shadows of the tree and killed two thieves who tried to escape in a row with a dagger.
Looking at Kress's blood-stained face, Li Mu patted the other party's shoulder, and then showed an affirmative smile, "If you still want to follow me back to Chanda Town, I will allow you to join my mercenary team." ”
"Thank you, sir, I will continue to work hard." Kress wiped the blood from his face and said happily.
"Well, you can just call me boss like Manid."
"Okay boss."
At this time, an old man from the village came to Li Mu's side, "This honorable lord, thank you for saving our village, what should you do with these loot?" ”
The winner gets the spoils, and that's when Calradia's immutable laws are in place.
Li Mu glanced at the things on these bandits, all of them were bows and arrows and scimitars used by some hunters, and the only steel knife was that of the bandit leader Hollande, and it was also cut by himself. He waved his hand, "Let's pick a few horses, and you can divide the rest of the things yourself, just to improve your self-protection ability." There wasn't even a decent weapon in the whole village. ”
"Thank you, sir, for your generosity." The old man said excitedly. Although Li Mu can't look down on these things, they are indeed good things for ordinary villagers. No matter how bad it is, it's better than the farm tools in your hands.
"Okay, you can sort things out by yourself, remember to dispose of the corpse, someone in the province will retaliate, and let the horses be selected by Mama Cha, and also, we are here to spend the night this time, there are about ten people in total, is there a free room?" Li Mu didn't care much about these post-war matters, and he didn't have much oil and water, so why bother.
"Yes, yes, there is nothing else in our village, there are still some empty rooms, please come with me."
Following the old man, Li Mu and his party finally entered Sangbujia.
