After looking at the Star Slashing Sword's stats, Zhao Fu felt quite shocked. The Strengthening Stone's effects were that it added two points to each of the three stats, and it also added Ice damage. It could also restore a piece of equipment to its original grade.
The Strengthening Stone's effects were quite good, but after thinking about it, Zhao Fu realized that they were quite rare. Following this, Zhao Fu thought about Soldier Souls, which could also strengthen equipment. He wondered what their effects would be, and Zhao Fu felt quite tempted.
However, after thinking about it, a General Armament required 100 Soldier Souls to fuse with, so Zhao Fu could only give up on the idea of using Soldier Souls. If a Soldier Soul's effects were the same as a Strengthening Stone, then a General Armament fused with 100 Soldier Souls would be incredibly powerful. As such, Zhao Fu looked forward to the day when the General Armament could be fused.
Now, Li Wen and the other soldiers were exploring the passageway, and they had already collected 47 Soldier Souls. As such, it was not too long before the General Armament could be fused.
Zhao Fu handed the strengthened Star Slashing Sword to Bai Qi. Bai Qi received the Star Slashing Sword, and when he looked at its stats, he felt quite happy.
Zhao Fu ordered people to deal with the various materials on the Iceborn Tiger's body. After all, they could all be used to create Silver grade equipment. As for its meat, Zhao Fu looked at the sky and saw that the sun was hanging in the middle of the sky. It was almost noon.
They rested and prepared lunch. The massive Iceborn Tiger's meat was cut into pieces and roasted. Following this, Zhao Fu ate some of the Iceborn Tiger's meat, which was quite delicious and chewy. At the same time, he received a system announcement that his Ice Resistance had increased by 1%.
Zhao Fu had never thought that the Iceborn Tiger's meat would be so good. It was a pity that even though the Iceborn Tiger was big, it could only be enough for 100 or so people.
Following this, they continued to explore. Little Grey ate a few pieces of the Iceborn Tiger's meat and worked incredibly hard, sniffing at the front. Because Little Black ate grass, it was not able to eat the Iceborn Tiger's meat. At first, it was quite unhappy, but after being comforted by a Little Spirit Pill from Zhao Fu, it was in a good mood and quickly followed behind Little Grey.
"Awoo …"
Little Grey smelled something and called out to Zhao Fu a few times. Then, it brought Zhao Fu and ran all the way to a Gnome village.
This Gnome Village was only a Basic Village, and there were 300 or so Gnomes. There were two types of soldiers: Gnome Crossbowmen and Gnome Warriors with scimitars. The Gnome Warriors were quite weak, and they weren't even as strong as the Goblin Warriors.
Facing these 300 Gnomes, Zhao Fu didn't use any tricks. After all, his side had 1,400 soldiers, and they could completely suppress the other side. As such, he led his people to surround the Gnome Village and had his Gnomes persuade them to surrender.
What surprised Zhao Fu was that the Gnomes were unwilling to surrender despite facing so many of Zhao Fu's soldiers, and they wanted to fight to the death. Zhao Fu wasn't in a hurry, and his main objective was to plunder the Gnome population. He first ordered his soldiers to cut down trees and create a simple fence around the Gnome Village, and Zhao Fu prepared to make dumplings.
When the Gnome Village saw Zhao Fu and his soldiers construct a fence, they understood Zhao Fu's intentions, and they started to panic. It seemed like they were arguing with each other.
Zhao Fu looked at the Gnome Village and understood that the Gnome Village was divided. One side was the side that had chosen to surrender because they knew that the Gnome Village wouldn't be able to defeat them. Moreover, Zhao Fu's soldiers were Gnomes, so they wouldn't be killed if they surrendered.
The other side was the side that was stubbornly resisting. They felt that they shouldn't surrender and wanted to live and die with the Gnome Village.
At that moment, Zhao Fu gave another order and had the Archers raise fire arrows. Just as they were about to fire, the Gnomes were at a critical point. They understood that if they did not make a stand, they would all be burned alive.
A large group of Gnomes walked out of the Village and knelt on the ground, expressing their willingness to surrender.
Zhao Fu nodded and looked at the 50 or so Gnomes within the Village that were unwilling to surrender. Zhao Fu changed his mind and gave the order to not shoot at the houses but at the Gnomes that were unwilling to surrender.
Of course, Zhao Fu wouldn't kill them all, and he just wanted to give them a warning. Zhao Fu didn't believe that these Gnomes weren't afraid of death and were willing to live and die with the Gnome Village.
"Fire!"
As Zhao Fu gave the order, arrows flew out, and the Gnomes desperately resisted. Crossbow bolts shot out, but they were all blocked by Zhao Fu's Shieldbearers. On the other hand, Zhao Fu's arrows contained immense power, and they pierced through ten or so Gnomes.
Seeing the Gnome that had just been talking die in the blink of an eye, an aura of death spread out. Facing true death, the remaining Gnomes were filled with terror. Just as Zhao Fu was about to give the order for the second wave of Archers to fire, the remaining Gnomes within the Village cried out and knelt on the ground, choosing to surrender.
Zhao Fu chose to accept all of them. This time, he had subdued 301 Gnomes, and Zhao Fu went to the Gnome Army Camp and looked at the Gnome Warrior Profession Change Stone Stele.
[Gnome Warrior]: F grade Military, Description: Warriors of the Gnomes, Effect: Receives skill [Scimitar Control].
Zhao Fu glanced at it and lost interest. He went to the Village Hall and found that it was a Normal grade Gnome Village. He chose to conquer it and then [Relocate] it, obtaining 50 Achievement Points and 169 EXP.
After conquering this Gnome Village, Zhao Fu wanted to take them back to Qin Village and settle them down. However, he had never thought that he would encounter an ordinary Bandit Village.
This Bandit Village had around 400 Bandits, and Zhao Fu took advantage of the fact that the Bandit Chief had gone out to hunt to take down the Village. After receiving a system announcement that the Village had been attacked, the Bandit Chief hurried back, but he was killed by Zhao Fu's people.
Zhao Fu had subdued 340 Bandits this time, and Zhao Fu directly made 300 of them into soldiers. Zhao Fu had seen a post before.
Almost all of the Bandit Villages spawned men, and they all had decent battle power. They weren't like ordinary Villages, where they spawned men, women, old, and children.
Some people wanted to rely on this to take down two Bandit Villages. They did not change them into ordinary Villages and instead had the Villages continue to spawn Bandits. However, they did not know how many Bandits there were. Once the number of Bandits reached half of their forces, they would immediately defect.
Even though ordinary Villages spawned men, women, old, and children, they would be absolutely loyal to you. As long as you did not oppress them or give them a way out, they would remain loyal to you.
However, Bandits were different. Bandits were evil, and if you did not strengthen your management and make them have at least 60 Loyalty, they might betray you. This was especially so when you did not have as many soldiers as they did, and you would be in danger.
