A saber light flashed!
Saar rode over on his warhorse and chopped off his head. He then dismounted and raised the head as he shouted in the human language, "Now that your leader is dead, if you resist, I'll kill you!"
Now that their leader was dead, and facing Saar's ferocious attacks, the village quickly chose to surrender.
Following this, they began to clean up the battlefield, and an adjutant came up to report, "Sir Saar, we've obtained 752 captives. This time, we've taken 752 captives and obtained a large amount of resources and 100,000 copper coins from the village. In terms of battle losses, we've suffered 163 injuries and 7 deaths. "
Hearing this, a look of delight appeared on Saar's face. With so many captives, he had completed 20% of this month's mission. He then said, "Distribute all of the resources and money we obtained. Quickly call the military doctors to treat those who are injured. At the same time, preserve the corpses of the soldiers who died and bring them back!"
Now that Qin was attacking other villages by hook or by crook, the soldiers had to take great risks. As such, Bai Qi gave them all the spoils of war to deal with.
At the same time, as long as they brought the captives back, they would be greatly rewarded. Moreover, Qin had implemented a military merit system, so if one person had military merit, the whole family would be happy!
It could be said that Qin was filled with battle intent, and he looked like a dangerous terrorist.
…
On the other side, Xiao Jian's team had found an ordinary village with about 1,500 people at the foot of a small hill.
After observing for a while, Xiao Jian felt that it would not be easy to deal with so many people. Xiao Jian first ordered his people to capture a captive and then used a steel whip with many iron spikes on it. With a single whip, the captive's skin would split open and blood would flow.
In the end, the captive confessed everything under torture, and Xiao Jian obtained the information he wanted. He thought of something and suddenly laughed, but with the scar on his face, he looked incredibly savage.
Apart from the regular troops, Xiao Jian had also brought 100 Assassins. Most of these Assassins were Ratfolk. Because Ratfolk's innate talents were agility and agility, they were easily recognized by the profession.
By now, the sky had already darkened, and the villagers had finished eating dinner and gone to bed early. The moonlight was a bit hazy, and 100 figures snuck into the village from different directions.
This time, the Assassins' mission was not to assassinate but to kidnap. After all, the kidnappers were important figures of the Village, and all of them had decent strength. Moreover, they would be protected by many people, and without top-tier Assassins, it was possible that they would alert the Village.
As such, Xiao Jian turned his gaze to the easier targets, which were their families. Most of them were asleep and didn't notice anything at all.
However, a series of screams pierced through the night sky. Following that, the person in charge of guarding the area shouted, "There's an enemy! Enemies! There are enemies! "
These sounds caused the entire Village to fall into chaos. Following this, a big man wearing armor furiously came to the entrance of the Village and looked at the torches outside. A large number of enemies had completely surrounded them, and most of them were humans, but there were also a few Outlanders.
What angered the big man the most was that there were more than 20 people in front of him who were tied up with ropes and kneeling on the ground. These people were all from his village, and every one of them was a family member of the village's upper class, including his five-year-old son.
Xiao Jian came to the side of those 20 or so people and gave a terrifying smile as he loudly said, "There's no need to tell me what I want. Hurry up and surrender, and I won't mistreat you. I'll also spare them."
Hearing Xiao Jian's words, the big man furiously yelled, "You despicable bastard, if you wanted our Village, you could've just attacked us. Why did you have to use such despicable methods? Our Little Slope Village will never surrender to you!"
"Hahaha …"
Xiao Jian loudly laughed and said disdainfully, "All's fair in war! Do you think that all of your enemies are righteous people? I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, or don't blame me for being vicious. "
Hearing Xiao Jian's words, the villagers looked at the large number of ferocious enemies and their half-kneeling family members and hesitated.
A short while later!
Seeing this, Xiao Jian's gaze became cold and he gestured to a soldier. The soldier immediately dragged an elderly man in front of Xiao Jian.
"Are you sure you don't want to surrender?" Xiao Jian coldly yelled.
There was no response from within the Village, and Xiao Jian did not hesitate to raise his sword and chop off the elderly man's head. A heart-wrenching cry sounded out from within the Village, "Dad!"
A young man disregarded everything and rushed out, but he was pulled back by the people beside him.
Xiao Jian was no longer as polite as before. He raised his blood-stained sword and pointed at the Village as he yelled with killing intent, "I'll give you a bit more time to consider. Next time, I'll kill them all and slaughter your entire Village!"
The big man's face was ashen, and the expressions of the people around him were also incredibly unsightly. They looked at the well-equipped enemies outside the Village and their family members who were crying because of the elderly man's death. At the same time, the people within the Village started to feel incredibly terrified because the other side had said that they would slaughter their entire Village.
A while later!
Seeing that there was still no response, Xiao Jian mounted his warhorse and raised his sword as he yelled, "Prepare!"
All of the soldiers simultaneously made their preparations, and the Archers and ballistae all aimed at the Village. Xiao Jian planned to forcefully attack, and he also ordered the 70 or so Assassins to take advantage of the chaos to carry out assassinations!
"Wait!"
Under this massive killing aura, the Village's people finally chose to surrender. Even though there were 1,500 people in the Village, that was only half of the Village's military strength. The rest were women, elderly, and children, while Xiao Jian's soldiers were all well-built and had all sorts of weapons. In that case, they would most likely be slaughtered.
Under this pressure, the big man could only sigh and look quite dispirited as he led his people to put down their weapons and walk out of the Village.
Seeing this, Xiao Jian felt quite relieved and accepted their surrender. The Assassins hiding in the Village walked out from the shadows, causing the Village's people to feel quite scared.
Following this, they counted the spoils of war. Xiao Jian's side had not suffered any losses this time, and they had obtained 1,500 captives, countless items, and 160,000 copper coins. Even though their methods were quite despicable and vicious, Bai Qi would allow everything as long as they brought back a large number of captives.
The other teams' situations were similar to Sa 'er and Xiao Jian's. Qin had gone to the extreme, and they used all sorts of bloody methods to expand. This caused Qin's development speed to increase by many times, but it also gave off an increasingly dense bloody aura.
