"How could this happen? How could the bandits massacre the village?" Lin Feng couldn't believe his eyes. This good novice village had actually suffered a devastating disaster.
Qing Yi Ran Ran and Bai Yi Piao Piao were standing aside. They didn't know why the bandits were so cruel. It seemed that all the innocent villagers in the village were killed. Their birthplace was also burned down. The beautiful mountain village could only be found in memories, but what they faced was the cruel reality.
Lin Feng was surprised at first, and then a flame of anger ignited in his heart. He was determined to catch the murderer who massacred the village and avenge the innocent villagers.
"Let's gather all the team members and wipe out the bandits' lair!" Qingyi Ranran was so angry that her face turned red. She clenched her fists and wanted to seek revenge on the bandits.
"Wait, the bandits here cannot possibly have such strength. People go to high places and water flows to low places. Even if the bandits have an adventure and their level and strength are improved, they will look for corresponding resources to improve themselves." After Lin Feng's anger, he quickly calmed down and began to analyze the situation carefully.
"So they wanted to seize the village's resources, but they were met with fierce resistance from the villagers, and they became angry and killed and set fire to the village." Bai Yi Piaopiao was also very angry. This novice village carried many of her good memories and could be considered her home in the game. But now her family was broken up, how could she just sit back and watch.
"You didn't understand what I meant. I meant that these bandits will not get any benefit from burning the Novice Village. After a fierce battle, they should have plundered the resources and wealth of the village, but in the end, only a scorched earth was left. And they will become the target of public criticism and be wanted by the kingdom's army. Soon, guilds will organize people to join the team to encircle and suppress them. With the players and the kingdom's army, they will definitely be like grasshoppers in autumn and will not be able to jump for long." Lin Feng saw it very clearly. It was obvious that the bandits did not attack the village this time for the resources and property. They were willing to risk being surrounded and suppressed to massacre the village. There must be some conspiracy and purpose.
"They must have calculated that we would return to the village to support them, so they took desperate measures and set fire to destroy the bodies. You should know that there is no difference in IQ between wild monsters and NPCs in intelligent online games. These bandits are also human beings. They would have thought of our support, so they did not plunder leisurely after the killing, but fled the scene after setting a fire. If it weren't for the system prompt, we would not know that it was the bandits who did it." The man in white clothes refuted Lin Feng's point of view.
"Don't you think their purpose is very strange, as if the villagers have some deep hatred against them. In addition, their strength has increased too much. With the resources around them, it is impossible for them to reach the point of easily massacring the village so quickly. Even if they really reach this level of strength, they will have better choices and will not commit suicide like this. As you said, there is no difference in IQ between wild monsters and NPCs. Although this group of bandits will not turn over a new leaf and engage in legitimate business, they can also rely on their strength to slowly exploit the village and gain continuous benefits over the long term." Lin Feng explained.
"A dog can't change its nature, so it's like this. Why do I feel like you've been protecting these bandits, just like they hired a lawyer to speak for them!" Qingyi Ranran was very angry. He didn't expect Ye Feng to be so worried and afraid this time, always looking for some excuses instead of immediately gathering people to avenge the dead villagers. You have to know that players can be resurrected after death in the game, but these NPCs will never be seen again after death.
"I'm not defending them, I'm just analyzing the situation. This matter is far from as simple as you think, so don't act rashly, calm down and analyze it carefully." Lin Feng responded. He felt that his two wives were a little emotional and they should calm down and not fall into the enemy's trap.
"We are so reckless because we hate you. You coward, just hide in the corner and protect your precious artifact. My sister and I can deal with them." Qing Yi Ran Ran's stubborn temper also came up. She was already very angry, so how could she listen to Lin Feng's persuasion? After saying that, she pulled her sister to the mountains beside the village. The bandits' stronghold was in the mountains. They wanted to attack the bandits' base camp directly to avenge the villagers.
The two sisters knew Lin Feng's temper, so they pretended to be angry and wanted to seek revenge on the bandits. Usually, within a few seconds, Ye Feng's husband would obey the majority and listen to their opinions. But this time, he was stubborn for some reason and turned around and walked away without paying any attention to them.
Qing Yi Ran Ran and Bai Yi Piao Piao were stunned. They didn't expect this result. They didn't expect Lin Feng to not care about their feelings at all. Is this what they call sharing the good times but not the bad times? After possessing the artifact, it was like a balloon that swelled and deformed...
"Sister, if we two should go, then we can do it. The bandits must have secretly attacked the village at night when the villagers were asleep. With our current strength, they are no match for us. Let's go and kill them all, and let this coward see that what he fears are these vulnerable bandits." Qingyi Ranran said.
"Okay, sister will go with you!" The woman in white nodded.
Now the two sisters have reached level 15, keeping pace with Lin Feng's level, but they have different ideas from Lin Feng. So they decided to rely on their own strength to take down these bandits who deserved to be punished and make them pay the price for their stupid behavior.
The two sisters kept going and finally arrived at the bandit base, Black Wind Village. Novice players at level 5 can reach here to do quests and level up, but because the bandits like to attack in groups and have the advantage of geographical location, players prefer to form teams at level 7 or 8 to come to this village to complete quests. The two sisters now have a huge level difference with the bandits, and they also have many sharp professional skills, so they dare to break into the bandit's lair.
"Sister, how do we get in? Should we go through the side door or the main door?" The two sisters had sneaked into the stronghold to complete several missions before, so they still remembered the structure and routes of the stronghold. So Bai Yi Piaopiao directly asked her sister which attack route was the best.
"Listen to me and attract aggro at the main gate. When they gather together, I will use my group attack skills to deal with them. The downhill road at the main gate is easy to walk on. If the situation gets bad, we can retreat and fight at the same time."
Qing Yi Ran Ran's tactical arrangement was also very appropriate. Although the side door attack would not attract too much attention from the bandits, if the bandits really had the strength to massacre the village, the cliff path outside the side door would not be conducive for them to escape and retreat. The terrain in front of the mountain stronghold at the main gate was flat and convenient for observation. If the bandits were still the same as before, she could attack them in groups and end the battle in minutes. If the bandits became fierce and powerful, they also had a way to retreat and quickly escape down the mountain. It seemed that she was still influenced by Lin Feng's command. (To be continued)
