Captain Feng nodded, then he said, "Alright, you can go now." Fat Cat nodded before he turned around and left. After Fat Cat left the room, Liu Yuangong turned to Captain Feng and said, "Captain, do you really believe him?"
Captain Feng smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter if I believe him or not. We don't want to be bandits for the rest of our lives. Even if he lied to us, it's just a small amount of money. Those things are useless to us. What we need to do now is to strengthen ourselves as quickly as possible. Then we can send troops to deal with the Wolf Soul Country. Right, can we still get in touch with our families?"
Liu Yuangong said in a deep voice, "Probably. If we settle down now, then we can immediately contact An Li. In the future, we'll be able to contact our family from here."
Captain Feng nodded, then he said, "Let's get in touch with our families. Once Crane Grass heals those fellows, we'll deal with the Black Tiger Stockade first."
Liu Yuangong nodded, then he said, "I'll arrange it." Then he stood up and left. Captain Feng sat there and let out a long breath, then he muttered, "If we can gather several tens of thousands of people in a short time, then we might be able to fight against the Wolf Soul Country. Unfortunately, it's not that easy to gather several tens of thousands of people."
Just as his voice fell, Zhao Hai came in from the outside. He cupped his fist and said, "Captain, those who were injured have all been healed. They'll be fully recovered in three days."
Captain Feng nodded and said, "Good, you've worked hard. Right, Fat Cat just said that there might be a place where Sand Tiger hid his money. Let's look for it and find it as soon as possible."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he followed Captain Feng to search. Before long, the two found a cave in the bedroom. After the two entered the cave, they discovered that it was actually a secret passage that led to the back of the mountain. What surprised Zhao Hai and Captain Feng was that there were a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry inside the cave. Some of these things were made by the Saber Soul Country while some were made by the Wolf Soul Country. In addition to these things, the cave also had a lot of weapons, food, and water. This was beyond the two's expectations.
The two didn't move the gold and silver out, instead, they returned to the room. Then Zhao Hai went out and called Liu Yuangong and the others over. Then Captain Feng led Liu Yuangong and the others into the cave and showed them the gold and silver. They roughly calculated that there was a lot of gold and silver here. There were at least 50 thousand gold coins and 100 thousand silver coins. In addition to the gold and silver coins, there were also a lot of gold and silver wares. There were also some jewelry and other things. There were even some beautiful curved swords inlaid with diamonds.
After Captain Feng led the group to see the things inside the cave, he led them back to the room. After sitting down, Captain Feng looked at the group and said, "Everyone can see that we really made a big haul this time. Hehe, with these things, we didn't become bandits in vain." Captain Feng nodded and said, "You've all seen that we really made a big haul this time.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but chuckle as they waited for Captain Feng to continue. Captain Feng said, "But this time, we didn't come here just for the money. We're here for the people. We need to organize a group of people here as soon as possible. Does anyone have any ideas?" Zhao Hai nodded.
Liu Yuangong said, "Let's first flatten the nearby strongholds. It's not safe to travel a hundred li. We'll first flatten the Black Tiger Stronghold, then we'll deal with the Phoenix Stronghold. After we flatten these two strongholds, we'll expand outwards. This way, we can organize an army in a short period of time."
Everyone nodded, Captain Feng also nodded and said, "That's a good idea. The Grand Desert is a famous bandit nest. We might be able to organize an army of 10 thousand people in a short period of time. With this army in hand, we can create some trouble for the Wolf Soul Country."
"Not only that, Captain, I have an idea." Zhao Hai said. When he heard Zhao Hai, Captain Feng immediately said, "Crane Grass, what do you want to say?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Captain, in the Grand Desert, everything is based on strength. We can't let go of this opportunity. As long as we have enough strength, we can negotiate with the famous bandit groups in the Grand Desert. We can tell them that the Wolf Soul Country is currently at war with the Blade Soul Country. The Prairie's defenses are weak, we can make a big move. I think those bandits won't disagree. Even if they don't agree, we won't lose anything. If they agree, then we'll have another helper. In any case, our main goal is to create chaos in the Prairie so that we can cooperate with our family's actions."
As soon as Captain Feng heard Zhao Hai, his eyes couldn't help but light up, then he nodded and said, "Crane Grass is right. As long as we have enough strength, we can negotiate with those big bandit groups. But Crane Grass, you should know that we don't have much time. Although we haven't contacted our families yet, I'm afraid that a fight is about to break out. So we have to hurry." Captain Feng nodded and said, "You're right.
Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai said, "Captain, I think that we don't need to wait for their injuries to heal. We can go and deal with the Black Tiger Stronghold. Once we deal with the Black Tiger Stronghold, their injuries would be almost healed. At that time, we can send troops to the Phoenix Stronghold. Wouldn't that be enough?"
Captain Feng thought for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Alright, we'll listen to you. How about this, we'll rest for today. Tomorrow, we'll leave a few people to guard this place. The others will attack the Black Tiger Stronghold. Although the Black Tiger Stronghold is stronger than here, it shouldn't be a threat to us. Wu Fei, you take Fan Yi and the others and stay behind. Old Xiang and the others should come as well." Captain Feng had a total of 40 people under him. This time, Captain Feng asked Wu Fei, four Plant Masters, and five Craftsmen to stay behind. He also took all the Soul Soldiers and Soul Beasts, as well as Zhao Hai.
To be honest, Captain Feng couldn't leave Zhao Hai. The key point was that Zhao Hai was too useful. Not only was he strong, he was also a mobile supply base. Moreover, he could heal injuries. It can be said that Captain Feng wouldn't have to worry about anything if he brought Zhao Hai along. Because of this, Captain Feng would definitely bring Zhao Hai along with him when they fight outside.
Although Wu Fei was somewhat unwilling, he still agreed in the end. Wu Fei also knew that Zhao Hai was much stronger than him. Moreover, Captain Feng wanted him to stay behind for his own good.
After Captain Feng finished speaking, he let everyone rest. Then, he called Fat Cat over. When Fat Cat heard Captain Feng calling for him, he didn't dare to neglect. He quickly ran over.
Captain Feng looked at the fat cat standing in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Fat cat, do you know where the Black Tiger Stockade is?"
When Fat Cat heard Captain Feng, he quickly replied, "Reporting to the Boss, I know. In the past, I was the one who delivered the food to the Black Tiger Stronghold."
Captain Feng nodded and said, "Alright, go back and pack up. Tomorrow, we'll go to the Black Tiger Stronghold." When Fat Cat heard Captain Feng, although he was somewhat puzzled, he didn't dare to ask. After all, he wasn't clear about Captain Feng's personality. He was afraid that if he said something wrong, Captain Feng would deal with him.
The day passed by peacefully. The people in the stronghold were still trembling with fear. After all, they knew that their new leader was a ruthless person. With just a few subordinates, he was able to eliminate more than 200 people. They didn't dare to underestimate this new leader.
The next morning, after everyone finished eating, Captain Feng called everyone over. Fat Cat was also prepared. This time, they only prepared one horse for each person. The rest of the horses were left outside the valley. For bandits, their most important assets weren't their gold and silver, but their horses and swords. Now that there were so many horses in the stronghold, the people in the stronghold were very happy.
However, Fat Cat could see that something was wrong. He thought that Captain Feng was going to deliver food to the Black Tiger Stockade today. This was also a rule. The new stockade head had to go to the surrounding stockades and tell them that they were in charge of the stockade in the future. This way, there wouldn't be any misunderstandings in the future.
However, Fat Cat saw that Captain Feng only brought 30 people. He didn't bring any food and just went to the Black Tiger Stronghold. It didn't seem like he was going to visit the stronghold or deliver food. What did he want to do?
Fat Cat had already sensed that something was amiss. He carefully followed beside Captain Feng, looking as if he wanted to hide himself.
When Captain Feng saw Fat Cat's appearance, he couldn't help but stare and said, "Fat Cat, what are you doing? Follow me obediently. If you put on that expression again, I'll be the first to deal with you. "
Fat Cat had a sad face as he said, "Yes, Boss. Boss, can I ask why we're going to the Black Tiger Stronghold?"
Captain Feng coldly snorted and said, "Why? What else can we do? We're going to destroy the Black Tiger Stronghold. It's only a few dozen li away from us. If we don't destroy it, how can I sleep? "
Fat Cat's face turned pale. He looked around and said with a trembling voice, "Boss, you don't want to rely on these brothers to attack the Black Tiger Stronghold? Boss, the Black Tiger Stockade is different from our stockade. Their stockade is really built on a mountain. It's easy to defend and hard to attack. Moreover, we can't even ride a horse up there. Boss, with just these brothers, we definitely can't attack. Boss, you can't let our brothers die in vain! "
Captain Feng turned his head and said, "Don't shout. If you shout again, I'll cut you down. Just follow me, don't talk too much."
Fat Cat had a bitter smile on his face. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare. He could only put on a sad face as he followed behind Captain Feng. From time to time, he would give directions to Captain Feng. 50 li of road was covered by horses. Before long, they arrived at the foot of a stone mountain.
This stone mountain wasn't very high. From the foot of the mountain, one could see the situation at the top. It was strange because this was the only mountain in the vicinity that had trees. On this mountain, there was a stronghold. The stronghold's walls were made of logs. It looked very rough, but it was very tall. Moreover, there was only one way to enter the mountain, and it was very narrow. It was impossible to ride a horse up there.
