Amidst the wind and sand in the sky, a small caravan was slowly advancing.
"Proprietor, why do we have to pass here?" The thin, dark middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader said to a man who was about the same age as him but slightly fatter, "It is said that there are bandits on Wuyue Mountain.
of!"
"It doesn't matter if there are bandits - no, it should be said that it's a good thing to have bandits!" The owner of the caravan replied with a smile, "What are we selling?"
"Ore and the like..."
"Yes, the Loulan Kingdom mainly uses ore to smelt refined iron to make weapons. Why do the bandits need the ore? Do they know how to smelt iron?" The caravan boss laughed, "If the bandits come, we just throw down our things and run away;
Just wait until they leave and then come back to clean up - for us, the bandits are not only not a danger, but they can help us eliminate the monsters in this area, isn't it a good thing?"
"The proprietor is indeed the proprietor! He can even take advantage of the bandits!" The team leader suddenly realized and praised repeatedly, "In this case, I really want to see the bandits find out that we are transporting iron ore.
, what kind of expression will it have!"
It's a pity that he can't see it.
Because when he saw the smoke and dust billowing from the direction of Wuyue Mountain and a large group of bandits rushing towards him holding the banner of the "Axe Gang", the well-tested *** Lake immediately called the caravan members to flee.
A truckload of cargo was dumped cleanly.
So a few hours later, when the caravan returned and saw that the iron ore on the truck was about 30% less, the expressions of the caravan owner and leader were so wonderful that they were indescribable.
Fortunately, Cheng Peng and others understood the principle of "not drying up the lake to fish" and left most of the goods with them. As long as they could be transported to Loulan Country smoothly, they would still make some profit.
"You should spend money to buy peace!" the caravan boss muttered in pain, calling the guys to continue on their way, but he turned around and stared fiercely at the recently renovated cottage halfway up Wuyue Mountain.
, "When I came back, I sold some luminous stones for decoration from Loulan. I want to see if you bandits can really squeeze oil out of stones!"
This is just a small episode that happened at the foot of Wuyue Mountain, and it is also an inconspicuous one among the many robberies committed by the Ax Gang players. It neither aroused any public outrage nor obtained significant benefits-smelting iron is not an easy task.
After leading the team to carry the iron ore up the mountain, Yi Qing was told by Xu Tu, "There is no way to smelt these stones into pig iron, let alone steel. The game is not reality."
So Yi Qing, who was already half-dead from exhaustion, collapsed on the ground, tired and angry, unable to even speak.
But Xu Tu can't be blamed, because after hearing the news that "a caravan was passing by transporting iron ore", it was Yi Qing himself who hurried down the mountain to rob.
This incident is somewhat unexpected - the taciturn researcher Yi Qing is actually a fanatical warrior at heart. As long as he can find an opportunity to fight - preferably a one-sided victory - he will always rush to the front.
"Did you know that the bandits in Wuyue Mountain even snatched stones!"
"Did you hear wrongly? Why do bandits want stones? There are stones everywhere on Wuyue Mountain."
"It is said that stones are fake, but sticking to the rules of plucking geese's feathers is true - these bandits are really dedicated!"
"Yeah... Speaking of which, they seem to have almost wiped out the beasts and monsters in this area. Is this what they call 'no one is allowed to sleep beside you, me and others'?"
"It's 'How can I allow others to sleep soundly next to my bed'!"
"Yes, yes! That's it! Is this what you said they meant?"
"It's just a group of bandits, they shouldn't think so far..."
"You can't say that, dogs will still take over the ground."
The two people sitting in the corner of the tea stall looked at each other and sighed in unison.
",Gathering intelligence--it's so boring!"
"That's what spies are all about. Do you think they all drive fancy cars, hold beauties, and fight fiercely with various terrorists?" Ye Ying, a former soldier, touched the head of a neighbor's child and said jokingly, "I can't tell.
Ah, at your young age, you have seen a lot of 007 and so on."
"But this is a game, can't it be simpler?"
"It's too simple and boring." Ye Ying smiled and cast his eyes on the tall watchtower in the corner of the town. "Besides, the most important task has not been completed yet..."
They had two tasks on this trip. One was to encourage pedestrians to pass under Wuyue Mountain so that the bandits in the village could have a target to rob. The other was to collect sufficient intelligence to facilitate the village's next move.
The former task has been completed very well, but the latter task is still far behind.
The reputation of the Ax Gang is growing day by day, but in order to achieve the requirement of "famous and powerful", there is a key task that needs to be completed.
Shock the world!
The so-called shocking the world means doing something big and surprising everyone in the world.
Only those who can do this kind of thing can be called powerful. Otherwise, no matter how many caravans are robbed, they are just bullying the weak, and those who can only pick on the weak will never be respected as strong.
"There are two targets." In the Juyi Hall, Xu Tu took out a simple hand-drawn map and pointed on it, "According to the intelligence, tomorrow morning, the famous Zhenwei Escort Bureau will have an escort team descend from Wuyue Mountain.
After that, if we can successfully rob the escort team of the world's number one escort agency, regardless of the income, we can at least become famous in the world."
"The chief escort of the Zhenwei Escort Bureau is 'Weizhen Heshuo' Wang Weiyang. That guy is one of the top masters in Jin Yong's novel "The Book of Swords and Enmities". God knows how powerful he is, so it's better not to provoke him.
"Cheng Peng shook his head and objected to this opinion.
"The other target is the garrison in a nearby town. This garrison has about a hundred people and is usually stationed near the watchtower. With our strength, it should be possible to capture the watchtower."
"Then the imperial army will come to encircle and suppress... I say A Tubo, can't you give some more practical suggestions? No matter how you look at these two goals, they are seeking death!"
Xu Tu smiled, his smile was mysterious.
"Does the mission require us to maintain the Ax Gang forever?" he asked.
Cheng Peng was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
"According to the plot, as long as the plot unfolds, the Ax Gang will basically be finished, right?"
Cheng Peng thought for a while and nodded.
"In this case, we just need to be famous. As for whether there will be any trouble after becoming famous - have you forgotten that both Chun Sanniang and Bai Jingjing will come to look for the reincarnated Sun Wukong?" Xu Tu smiled sinisterly, "Anyway, you have already gone.
The news has spread, and now there are probably monsters everywhere who want to eat Tang Monk's flesh. Whether it is Wang Weiyang or the imperial army, what do they mean in front of the monsters?"
"you mean……"
"Drive the tigers to devour the wolves and let the monsters work for us to withstand the larger troubles." Xu Tu said with a smile, "The 'relics of the battle between Sun Wukong and Guanyin' are almost ready. We just need to remove them before taking action."
This is a little exposed - even if those monsters are unwilling, they will have to help us guard this stronghold where the reincarnated Sun Wukong is most likely to appear!"
"What about this plan?" After explaining, Xu Tu looked at Jane, whose eyes were widened, and asked, "If possible, choose the target to attack."
Jian nodded repeatedly, looked between the two goals, and finally chose the latter one.
For the players, the imperial army is somewhat far away, and seems to be much easier to deal with than the powerful master who shocked Heshuo.
When Cheng Peng and Xu Tu left Juyi Hall, they vaguely heard Xu Xiaoyuan saying to Jian: "Stay away from that Xu Tu in the future. This person even plots against monsters. He is really a dangerous person!"
Dangerous?
Cheng Peng doesn't think so.
The words "dangerous element" are not enough to describe Xu Tu's character!
Now that the plan to attack the officers and soldiers has been decided, everyone in the village has started to get busy: training NPC bandits; rushing to make weapons and armor; arranging attack and retreat routes; arranging defenses inside and outside the village... All kinds of work must be carried out quickly, the same.
There can be no delay.
As for Dongliu Xingchen, Xiao Moran and Liu Zixiao, who were officers and soldiers, they finally had the opportunity to shine. According to the plan, after the officers and soldiers started fighting with the bandits, they would stab the officers and soldiers in the back.
Ensure victory in the battle.
As for travelers Ye Ying and Wei Antu, originally they only needed to fight soy sauce, but Ye Ying did not want to miss this battle, and Wei Antu was so idle that he almost grew mushrooms. As soon as they heard that there was a battle to be fought, the two
I immediately pat my chest and pledge that I am neither afraid of hardship nor afraid of death. I will absolutely serve the people wholeheartedly and resolutely win the must-win battle!
That fight was really boring.
On one side were the shouting bandits, and on the other side were the officers and soldiers who were also shouting.
There is no technical content at all, it's just so simple that it can't be any simpler to catch each other and fight.
The only surprising thing is that the players were forcibly excluded from the battlefield and could only watch the battle from the side, or use a wide range of auxiliary skills to help.
But of course this is not a problem for everyone - as a famous general, Cheng Peng has his own aura of command, which slightly improves the abilities of the bandits; although the powerful mage Xiao Moran cannot summon monsters to join the battle, he can at least cast a large-scale curse
, greatly weakening the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers; Xu Tu made many good weapons for the bandits; Wang Chen and Yi Qing gave each of the stronger bandits a small blue pill that could boost their spirits.
...The one who made the greatest contribution was actually Liu Zixiao. As a tauren, he naturally knew war cries and totems; a totem pole that could slowly restore the health of friendly troops was inserted on the battlefield in advance; and his main job was a bard.
He even took out the electric guitar that he never left, and while playing wild tunes, he sang some "survival strategy", boosting the morale of the bandits as if it were on fire.
So the officers and soldiers were naturally defeated.
[The Wuyue Mountain Ax Gang successfully defeated the nearby officers and soldiers, and was so powerful!]
[You have completed the preparations for the plot, and the plot is about to officially begin. 】
Before everyone could recover from the two pieces of good news, they saw a man as tall as an iron tower suddenly appearing in front of them.
"I am the Three Saints of Kunlun. Today I will do justice for heaven and eradicate you thieves!"
