Hearing this, Zhao Fu lightly laughed, "In actuality, I don't have much confidence in unifying the world, but I'll definitely ensure that my subjects have a safe place to live."
Xiao Jian laughed and coughed up another mouthful of blood as he nodded.
At that moment, Zhao Fu came down from Little Black's back and helped Xiao Jian up, who was lying in a pool of blood. He fed him a Special Healing Pill before having the soldiers carry him away and treat his injuries.
In actuality, Zhao Fu had never thought that Xiao Jian would be able to defeat Wang Bao. In terms of strength, Xiao Jian couldn't defeat Wang Bao at all, but Zhao Fu's method of exchanging injuries was incredibly ferocious. Back then, Wang Bao had felt a trace of fear, which was why he had lost. However, Xiao Jian was also heavily injured.
This battle could be said to be a complete victory for Zhao Fu. He had killed 3,700 enemies and captured 300 captives. Apart from a few people who had pretended to attack the stronghold and been injured, the rest were mostly unharmed. On the Hundred Flower Village's side, four people had died, and the rest had been injured.
Moreover, the reason why this battle had been so successful was because of Xiao Jian and his group. If they hadn't appeared, Zhao Fu's plan of luring the enemy would not have been so successful. If he had sent out the Goblins, they might have succeeded, but they would have aroused suspicion, and the results would not have been as good as Xiao Jian and his group.
Most of the bandits only had weapons, and apart from shields, they had no defensive equipment at all. Now, it was time for Zhao Fu's main concern.
Out of the 3,700 corpses, there were 213 A grade soldiers and one S grade soldier. Adding on the villagers and corpses from the other villages, Zhao Fu now had 724 A grade soldiers. As for the two S grade soldiers, Zhao Fu had given them to the Gnomes who were researching ballistae.
Now, Zhao Fu didn't care about the other corpses. The 10 Skeleton Cavalrymen rode on Skeleton horses and devoured the deathly aura from the corpses, causing their spirit flames to become more than twice as strong.
… …
Within the stronghold, the second brother asked curiously, "What's going on? Third brother has been out for so long, why hasn't he come back yet? Don't tell me he's been chasing that Hundred Flowers Village brat and won't come back until he kills him?"
The big brother frowned, feeling that something wasn't quite right. However, he quickly thought about it and realized that Third Bro had led 4,000 brothers, and they could easily dominate the surrounding 50 kilometers. No one would be able to annihilate them, and not a single one of them managed to escape. Perhaps I was overthinking things.
This big brother relaxed, but he never expected that his four thousand brothers had long been killed by Zhao Fu to the point that only three hundred were left, and that his third brother had also become a ghost under his sword.
"Big brother! I'll bring a group of people to take a look. That brat, Third Brat, he's always acting rashly. He didn't even send someone back to report to us, "the second brother said.
The big brother nodded and said, "Then be careful. Come back immediately if you encounter any danger!"
Second Brother acknowledged and left the stronghold with a hundred bandits.
… …
On the other side, Zhao Fu was about to order people to casually bury the corpses. As for their various weapons, there were 3,000 or so Normal grade weapons, 10 or so Blue grade weapons, and one Silver grade weapon. Apart from the Silver grade weapons, the rest could be sold in Holy Light City, and they would be worth a bit of money.
"Your Highness! Another 100 bandits are rushing over from here, "a soldier reported.
Hearing this, Zhao Fu thought for a moment before leading a large number of soldiers to surround the 100 bandits.
… …
"Sir, who are you? Why have you surrounded us? "The second brother looked at the people surrounding them with a serious expression.
Zhao Fu lightly laughed and said, "What do you think?"
When the second brother saw Zhao Fu's smile, he felt that something was amiss and hurriedly said, "We are from the Three Flood Dragon Stronghold. I am the second in command of the Three Flood Dragon Stronghold, and we have 5,000 brothers. I hope that sir can let us go and not interfere with each other."
The second brother was quite confused as to why so many elite soldiers had suddenly appeared, but he still brought up the name of his stronghold, hoping that he could escape and tell his big brother about this matter.
"Five thousand brothers? I think there's only a thousand left! " Zhao Fu faintly said to the second brother.
Hearing this, the Second Brother was startled. He thought about his Third Brother who had not returned and the 4,000 brothers, and he immediately felt furious. However, he forcefully suppressed it because he could only force a smile and say, "Sir, have we misunderstood something?"
Zhao Fu shook his head lightly.
Upon seeing this, the last sliver of hope was shattered, and the second brother suddenly shouted, "Bro, let's charge out!"
But in the next second, at least 100 arrows enveloped the second brother. The second brother was unable to dodge at all and was hit by dozens of arrows. His body was riddled with holes and he died a miserable death.
At the same time, 30 bandits were also killed. Seeing this, the other bandits did not dare to continue running, and they knelt and begged, "Sir, we've already killed you. I beg for mercy! "
Seeing this, Zhao Fu smiled and thought of a plan as he said, "I can spare you, but you have to do as I say. Bai Qi, take out a Three Poison Pill and give it to them."
Bai Qi took out a bottle of ordinary healing pills and handed it to the bandits. Wang Ergou understood and held back a smile. He looked at the bandits and bitterly swallowed the medicinal pills.
"Now, you should understand that your stronghold is doomed to lose. It's impossible for you to stop us, and your 4,000 brothers have all been slaughtered by us. If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look."
As he spoke, Zhao Fu took them to see the incredibly bloody scene. The ground was dyed red with blood, and corpses lay on the ground in all sorts of postures. Some had been shot to death by arrows, some had been nailed to the ground, and some had been pierced through by the Cavalry. Before they died, their faces were filled with terror, pain, and all sorts of other emotions.
"Sir! I beg you, please spare me! " The bandits were all scared witless and knelt on the ground as they cried.
Seeing this, a trace of a smile appeared on Zhao Fu's face, and he told them about his plan. "Since you understand that you won't be able to win, you should know what to do after you return to the stronghold. I'll give you this bottle of poison. If you don't want to die, do as I say. Not only will you not die, but you will also receive unimaginable benefits."
Hearing this, the remaining 70 bandits trembled as they nodded and returned to the stronghold, while Zhao Fu led his people to secretly surround the stronghold.
The outcome was already set in stone, and if things went according to plan, they would definitely succeed. Zhao Fu did not have to worry about the 70 bandits betraying him, as they weren't very loyal, and it was quite easy for them to betray Zhao Fu. Moreover, they were scared witless, and with the threat of poison, it was almost impossible for them to betray Zhao Fu.
Even if they betrayed Zhao Fu, the only downside would be that they would have to kill a few more people. Some people might want to let them go, but if they betrayed Zhao Fu, the stronghold would definitely strengthen its defenses.
