Chapter 6: Going to Rob a Robber

  If it was said that Xiao Yu returned yesterday for money, then returning again tonight, Xiao Hong and Long Hui, as well as several sisters-in-law, couldn't quite figure it out.

  Xiao Yu is now worried about money, and has no mood to talk to them. Anyway, they don't believe in themselves now, so he simply hides alone in the house, continues to think of a way, and will prove it to them when the time comes.

  Sleepless for a night, on the second day, Xiao Yu's eyes were red as she walked out of her room.

  Slumped over on his horse as he rode out of the city, Xiao Yu's mind was preoccupied with thoughts of how to scrounge up some money. Just then, a soldier suddenly ran around the corner and collided with Xiao Yu's horse.

  Xiao Yu's horse was startled and immediately lifted its front hooves, Xiao Yu's riding skills were not good to begin with, and he directly fell off the horse.

  "Ah, Lord, I'm doomed." The soldier hastily and anxiously ran over to help Xiao Yu up.

  Xiao Yu was knocked down and her head spun around, she cursed: "Damn it, can't you see? What's the hurry?"

  The soldier, fearing punishment, hastily explained: "Lord Ling's redemption, the bandits of Longya Village came to plunder the nearby villages again. Lord Longhui gathered us and we were just about to rush over."

  "Damn it, there are actually bandits in my territory? What kind of person has such a big nerve?" Xiao Yu angrily said.

  "They are the bandits from Longya Village, sir. They have come many times before." The soldier hurriedly shifted Xiao Yu's attention to these bandits in order to shirk his own responsibility.

  "Has he come several times? Are there many people?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu suddenly had an epiphany in her mind, as if she had found something.

  "The bandits in Longya Village are not that many, they only have around two to three hundred people, and they mainly plunder some villages," the soldier replied.

  In Xiao Yu's territory, there are actually many bandits. As mentioned earlier, this place originally belonged to the border town, where ethnic minorities and bandits thrived.

  The city is now far from the tribes of those outsiders, so they come less often. Mainly because Xiao Yu's city doesn't have much to gain now, and others don't bother coming either.

  "Bandits, haha, great bandits, just what I needed, and they're delivering themselves right to my door." Xiao Yu laughed loudly, looking like a madman.

  The soldiers looked at the lord and were puzzled, thinking that the lord was ill. The bandits came to rob money, but why did the lord seem to be going to rob the bandits?

  In fact, Xiao Yu was going to rob the robber.

  He was worried about the money, but the robber's hands must have had some savings. Robbing a robber doesn't count as breaking the law, what a profitable business!

  "Haha, let's do it, go rob the robber!" Xiao Yu shouted loudly.

  ……

  Behind an abandoned horse shed, Xiao Yu had been observing for a long time, relying on the stealth effect of his Wind Step, he and Grom entered the bandit's lair with ease.

  After learning the approximate location of this group of bandits, Xiao Yu brought out all 30 new soldiers who had been produced, plus the eight old soldiers from before, to rob the bandits.

  Those two seriously injured infantrymen were directly ordered by Xiao Yu to rest in the base while doing guard duty.

  Xiao Yu put the thirty-eight infantrymen in a distant forest to wait for orders, while he and Grom carefully made their way over to scout ahead.

  After a reconnaissance, Xiao Yu found that there were indeed not many bandits in this camp, only about 200 people, and their equipment was extremely poor. Many of the armor and weapons were old and incomplete. They looked like a motley crew who had not undergone real military training, with very limited combat effectiveness.

  Xiao Yu pondered, relying on his 38 beast tribe infantrymen, if he wanted to take them down, it might be possible, but there would definitely be some casualties.

  Now poor Dingdang sounds like Xiao Yu, but doesn't want to cause any damage.

  "If you can't force it, then take it by strategy." Xiao Yu made up his mind and gestured to Grom, the two of them walking towards a tent together.

  According to Xiao Yu's probe, some of the supplies that these bandits had just looted were placed inside that tent.

  Xiao Yu ordered Gromm to sneak in, grab some valuable things, and then run out. When he was almost at the entrance of the camp, Gromm appeared and killed a patrolling bandit with one knife, then snatched the road and ran away.

  Xiao Yu then closely followed behind and quickly escaped.

  "Some robbers are being robbed, and the robbers who are robbing the robbers need to be caught quickly." At this time, a sarcastic scene appeared in the robber's den, and the robber's den was actually robbed.

  "What the f***, who has the guts to rob from us?" The leader of the thieves was a sturdy man with one eye covered by an eyepatch, wearing chainmail and wielding a large knife, shouting loudly.

  "Report to the leader, I don't know who it was, but someone snatched away some of our belongings that we had just recovered, and even killed one of our brothers." A small servant hastily reported.

  "Damn it! He actually dared to move earth on our turf, chase him down for me and catch him, I'll use his head as a wine cup!" the bandit leader shouted loudly.

  Having received the order, these robbers immediately ran out of the camp and began searching for Grom's whereabouts.

  Grom occasionally appeared to guide the robbers, and soon a group of robbers was chased into a forest where Xiao Yu and his men had set an ambush.

  Because he was afraid that Grom's beastman image would be too scary, Xiao Yu had already prepared a large cloak for Grom to wear. So, these bandits didn't notice at all that Grom was a beastman.

  They arrived at the forest, because the terrain was too complex, the robbers couldn't find Grom for a while, so they dispersed and searched separately. In their view, the other party was just one person, how could he stir up a big storm?

  But this just fell into Xiao Yu's trap.

  Xiao Yu wanted to separate them and then kill them separately. There were more than 200 bandits, but Xiao Yu only had 38 beast tribe infantrymen. If they clashed head-on, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

  "Get ready, don't make a sound, wait for them to get close, then pounce on them immediately, leave no one alive, kill them all." Xiao Yu instructed these beastman soldiers not to make any sudden moves, lest they scare away the dozen or so bandits in front of them.

  These beastman soldiers didn't wear cloaks. Once they came out, they would be absolutely terrifying and might even scare them off.

  "Take action." Xiao Yu looked at the dozen or so bandits who were approaching with abusive language, and with a single order, Grom and thirty-eight Beastmen infantry charged out together.

  "Ah......ah......" A series of miserable cries rang out, and before the robbers could even react to what was happening, several of them were chopped down by the beast tribe soldiers' large axes.

  By the time they came to their senses, their cries grew even louder.

  "Ah...... beast......"

  They are often killed by other beasts before they can even call out for help.

  Thirty-eight orc soldiers, plus Grommash, ambushed a dozen or so bandits and finished the fight in under ten seconds.

  "Withdraw." Having eliminated more than a dozen bandits, Xiao Yu gave the order to retreat.

  "What's going on? How did they die?" The other bandits who heard the cry for help rushed over quickly, but all they saw was a field of corpses.

  "In such a short time, they were all killed. Who is the other party? Ah, look at Foss's body, it was cut in half! What kind of power is this?" These bandits had also been murderers and arsonists before, and had seen bloody scenes, but today's scene still shocked them.

  "Damn it, who is this person? Search for me, I must find out and tell everyone. Don't disperse, at least thirty people should be together." A gang leader was extremely angry and gave the order.

  "Here comes another wave, get ready to ambush." Xiao Yu looked at the other side where a group of bandits were approaching, causing all the beastmen to crouch down.

  "Everyone be careful, the other side may have come prepared." The leader of the robbers instructed, while chopping at waist-high weeds with a long knife.

  "Ahh..." A miserable howl rose up, a bandit was pulled into the tall grass and disappeared from sight.

  "Be careful, they're here." The other bandits shouted in unison, on high alert. But what greeted them was sheer terror.

  "Roar......" The beastman infantry rushed out together, their large axes chopping towards the bandits. Many of the bandits were stunned when they first saw the beastmen and didn't even have time to react. In that instant, their lives were already thoroughly ended.

  Half an hour later, Xiao Yu looked at the corpses scattered all over the forest and felt very satisfied. After several sneak attacks, those pursuing bandits had been completely wiped out by the beastman infantry after they split up.

  These bandits, once targeted, had no chance of escaping. These small-time thieves were nowhere near as fast as the beast tribe's infantry, let alone with Grom's Windstep pursuit and kill.

  However, although the discovered robbers were all killed, several hidden robbers, relying on their caution and silence, managed to escape. At this time, they ran back to the stronghold and cried out in terror to the leader of the robbers: "Boss, it's not good! Those robbers are beastmen, beastmen! Each one is over two meters tall, and with one swing of an axe, Keis' head would be gone!"

  "Shut up, what are you panicking about? What beastman? In this world, beastmen have been extinct for a long time." The bandit leader kicked the whimpering lackey with one foot.

  "It's really true, they're beastmen! Green skin, fangs at the corners of their mouths, and they're all so tall, even taller than you, Chief. They were too powerful, we weren't a match for them at all, everyone was killed."

  The bandit continued to sob.

  The bandit leader looked at the beastman and muttered to himself, how could there be a beastman here? They have lived here for over a decade and never seen a beastman before. There are some ogres, but they don't come out often either.

  "Take me to see." The leader of the robbers swung his large knife in his hand, showing a fierce look to calm the military.

  But just as he had just walked out of the barracks, he was stunned. At this time, the gate of the camp had been breached, and dozens of green-skinned beasts with a height of over two meters stood at the gate.

  But in front of these beasts, there was a slightly frail and delicate-looking young man.

  Among the young men, a beastman with several streaks of oil paint on his face was particularly powerful, standing there gave people a sense of oppression. This is exactly Sword Saint Grom.

  "What... what kind of people are you? What brings you here?" Seeing that it was indeed a beastman, the bandit leader's momentum completely disappeared, and his voice trembled. He hadn't expected that they would actually be beastmen.

  He naturally knew that the legendary beastman had what kind of combat power. Moreover, now looking at those beastmen's physique, he also knew that his side was definitely not an opponent. Fortunately, however, the other side unexpectedly had a human.

  Xiao Yu took a step forward, pointing his right hand and shouting loudly: "Halt! You bandit, listen up! I am Xiao Yu, the lord of Lion King Territory. The places you are in are all my territory. How dare you commit robbery and plunder your neighbors on my territory? Today, I have come to eliminate you!"

  "What? The lord of Lion King Territory?" The bandit looked at Xiao Yu with an incredulous expression. He knew that the lord of Lion King Territory was a young man, but he had long heard that this young man was extremely dissolute, indulging in food, drink, prostitutes and gambling, bringing his territory to the brink of collapse.

  This young man in front of me, how can he be the lord of Lion King Territory?

  Xiao Yu looked at the bandit leader, his chin raised to the sky, and coldly snorted: "Not bad, I am the Lord of this place. Now, I'll give you a chance, hand over all the money you've plundered, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll flatten this mountain stronghold."
