"My lord, I have already found out, the Viper Bandit is ahead!"
Qiao Fu was wearing a body armor made of cooked cowhide, with iron pieces sewn on key positions to increase the defense. The safety factor was much higher than that of ordinary leather armor. Looking at the village not far away, his eyes There seems to be flames inside: "This gang has fifty people, and it also controls a wild village as a supply, so it moves like the wind, and it is difficult for the authorities to track their whereabouts..."
"But no matter how hidden the fortress is, if more people know about it, there will always be rumors..."
Wu Ming laughed.
For him to send troops to suppress the bandits, the surrounding nobles are naturally happy to see the success, because in their view, this is a very dangerous thing.
He wrote to ask for help, but the other party did not send soldiers to support him, but the information sharing requested was done.
With this network, Wu Ming already knows the situation of the bandits around the territory, and the general location of the wild people.
Intelligence, equipment, and the quality of the soldiers are all superior to the opponent. In such a battle, he can't think of any reason to fail.
Of course, in order to prevent any extremely unlucky small-probability events, such as morale collapse, etc., Wu Ming still came to hold the battle in person.
"Jeff, you will be in command next!"
Wu Ming spread his hands, let the two attendants behind him assist him to put on the knight armor, his whole body was covered in the iron can, and then stepped on the horse.
"My lord, do you want to..."
Before Qiao Fu could finish his sentence, he watched Wu Ming ride Juechen in surprise, rushing towards the front stronghold like an arrow.
Hoo hoo!
The wind howled, and almost instantly, Wu Ming rushed to the front of the stronghold, and he could even see the wooden railing and the sharp repelling horses on it.
"For justice and glory!"
He yelled, raised his spear, and the two sections of the fence flew straight up, causing him to rush into the stronghold.
"It's a knight!"
boom!
A gangster screamed, and was immediately hit by the horse in the chest, and flew backwards, like a broken sack.
Puff!
Wu Ming charged with his horse and stabbed with his spear. Several bandits fell to the ground immediately and were trampled into flesh.
"Let the arrow!"
On the opposite side, a cold-faced leader appeared, followed by more than a dozen robbers, holding a bow and crossbow. He shouted loudly, and the rain of arrows fell down like locusts.
Whoosh!
Wu Ming steered the horse flexibly, dodged most of the arrows, and the remaining few hit his breastplate, sparks appeared, but only a shallow trace was left.
"Give me... die!"
He leaped high and fell into the crowd. The cross sword was unsheathed abruptly, turning into a silver light.
The longbows of the bandits around him broke, and they fell limply one by one, forming a pool of blood. Occasionally, a sword slashed at him, but it was blocked by the hard armor, which could not hurt him at all, but those bandits who were slashed were caught one by one by Wu Ming. In a short time, there were corpses all over the field.
At this time, Wu Ming truly showed the horror of knights in this world.
Powerful strength, abundant physical strength, coupled with the protection of steel armor, made each of them a full-time killing machine.
"Sword Power - Thunder Slash!"
Suddenly, Wu Ming rushed to the leader, and the long sword in his hand fell from the air.
boom!
The leader hastily drew out a scimitar to resist, but was no match for the sword skill from the church. The scimitar was shaken away, and immediately the whole person was divided into two halves from the middle.
"Good! It is indeed a killing technique that has been continuously perfected by the church for thousands of years!"
Wu Ming sighed in admiration.
With his mental strength and power of observation, even though Adrian only performed it once, he still memorized this sword skill. At this time, he tried it a little, but the effect was extraordinary.
"What are you still doing in a daze, charge with me!"
In the back, Qiao Fu stared dumbfounded at the fact that Wu Ming almost broke through the entire stronghold with his own strength, and immediately screamed wildly, urging the soldiers on his side to come forward with whips and spears.
After all, under the premise that the opponent's morale has collapsed and their strength has been greatly damaged, this will be an incredible victory with minimal casualties, and it is an excellent opportunity to increase confidence.
"Come on!"
The militiamen were startled, and immediately charged clumsily.
Although they usually train very well, once they are on the battlefield, they seem to have forgotten everything they have learned, and they don't even know how to maintain the formation. If the thieves in the stronghold take the opportunity to counterattack, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
But at this time, Wu Ming had already slashed and killed in the stronghold, almost defeating the poisonous snake bandit group by himself, and no one came out to stop it, so it was a big advantage.
"Joe! Let people surround the intersections on all sides, bring bows and arrows, and shoot anyone who wants to leave immediately!"
Seeing Qiao Fu coming, Wu Ming immediately gave an order, and threw a head on the ground: "Do you think who this is?"
Qiao Fu squatted down, and saw that the head seemed to belong to a mercenary in his forties or fifties, with a sullen face and a surprised expression.
"Poisonous snake?!"
"Well, he is the boss of the Viper Thief Group. I have already killed him. It would be the best thing to use his head to frighten those wild people."
Wu Ming looked around, and saw the militiamen besieging the remaining bandits, beating the dogs in the water, and at the same time extending their claws to the ordinary houses behind the stronghold, there was a faint cry, and his brows frowned: "Go down, Restrain them!"
Although a large-scale looting can quickly replenish supplies and boost morale, Wu Ming doesn't want to bring out an army that won't obey his control.
"No arson, no indiscriminate killing... Drive all the wild people to the central square, and then screen out the bandits!"
There was a sneer at the corner of Wu Ming's mouth: "If any of our soldiers violates my order, no matter who they are, they will be killed immediately!"
"Obey!"
Qiao Fu's body trembled, but when he saw Wu Ming, who was covered in blood in his armor, as if he had come out of hell to refine a demon, he didn't dare to refute even a word, and rushed out directly.
As Qiao Fu went down to pass orders, the chaos quickly subsided.
Naturally, Wu Ming would not show any mercy to the wild people who resisted, regardless of whether they were old or young, or men and women, they would kill them directly.
In the end, some captives were driven out of their homes one after another, and came to the square in front of the stronghold. There was a mass of black heads, and it seemed that there were hundreds of people.
"Listen! I... come from the lord of Carlos Land! The knight conferred by the Earl of Blue Mountain! The guardian of the Tucker Mountains—William Wallace! I have killed the leader of the Viper Bandit, and his head is in the here!"
Wu Ming came out with the head of a poisonous snake to scare people: "You have two choices now, the first is to obey me and become my serfs, I guarantee your safety, the second is to resist me and go to the flames of hell to repent! "
Under the absolute suppression of force, a large number of rebels were killed. These wild people were terrified and disturbed, but none of them dared to speak out against it.
"Very good! From now on, you are the subjects of my Carlos Territory!"
Wu Ming immediately announced, and ordered them to disperse as a family and send troops to guard them.
Immediately, the remaining bachelors were brought to him one by one for screening.
After separating the man from the woman, Wu Ming let go of his perception slightly, and immediately smiled, feeling a lot of fear, malice, and hidden killing intent.
Fear and malice are normal. Of course, Wu Ming doesn't expect flowers and applause as an intruder, but he can't stay if he has the intention to kill.
As for the family, it is the slave owner's favorite, with scruples and big goals, such slaves are the most docile and most content with the status quo.
"This! This! And that! Kill them all!"
With a casual finger, Wu Ming pointed out a few people who were hiding their murderous intentions. These were either slippery fish or sympathizers of the bandit group. It was not worth wasting energy.
"ah!"
These captives had their hands tied, and next to them were heavily armed soldiers. A few people stabbed their spears and killed them immediately.
Qiao Fu looked at the bandits who fell to the ground, and then at Wu Ming, feeling a little terrified in his heart.
Based on his experience, after these people separated, he did identify a few guys who might be thieves, but unexpectedly, the lord seemed to be more aware of this kind of decisive killing, which he had never seen before.
"Maybe this lord has the ability to read people's hearts..."
Thinking silently in his heart, he couldn't help feeling a lot more in awe of Wu Ming.
"Pile up the loot and heads!"
After screening the slaves, Wu Ming continued to give instructions.
This poisonous snake bandit group is not very rich, but they have also collected a batch of leather armor, bows and arrows, knives and guns, and a lot of food.
Seeing the hill-like supplies piled up on the square, many wild folk could not help crying softly.
They knew that without these, even if Wu Ming didn't take them away, they would have to leave here, otherwise they would definitely not survive this winter.
"It's not bad, register and make a book, and I will escort them back with the prisoners later!"
Wu Ming picked up a bag of Jin Delong and looked at his soldiers: "Today... besides me, which soldier is the bravest and kills the most enemies?"
"It's Dean!"
Many militiamen shouted and pushed out a young man with a few freckles on his face.
"This is a good boy, he stabbed two thieves, very heroic!"
Geoff also said on the side.
"Very good! I will set up a system now. Anyone who can kill the enemy and get the first level can be rewarded!"
"As for you, Dean!"
Wu Ming drew out his long sword: "Kneel down!"
"My lord!"
Dean looked excited and knelt down on one knee.
"In the name of Lord Carlos, I will grant you the status of a free citizen! At the same time, I will reward you with ten Jin Delong for your heroic killing of the enemy!"
He tapped on Dean's shoulder with his long sword, and threw a money bag to him: "And, the piece of land your family is cultivating belongs to you! The specific documents will be confirmed when you return to the territory." Make it up later!"
"I swear, I will always be loyal to you and dedicate my loyalty and life to you, my lord!"
Dean looked excited and kissed the ground under Wu Ming's feet.
