The 'Comprehension' tab on the Fifth Grade bandit leader's character panel had once again lit up. This could only mean one thing – these soldiers had died once and were resurrected by Yang Rui using plot points. They now had the potential to level up!
It could be said that even though resurrecting the two Fifth Grade soldiers cost a total of one thousand mission points, Yang Rui was still very excited. That was because he could safely raise all the Third Grade soldiers in his hands to First Grade through the few rebel camps that he had subdued. Then, he could use the mission points to resurrect and 'cleanse' these soldiers so that they would have room for improvement again!
With this cycle, the soldiers of Mountain Town would be able to level up by one Grade out of nowhere! One could only imagine how much stronger the soldiers of Mountain Town would be after they collectively leveled up! Currently, the Yellow Turban Uprising storyline was happening. The increase in the strength of Mountain Town would definitely bring him more achievement points, mission points, and more opportunities!
Therefore, this was definitely an opportunity for Mountain Town! Before this, Yang Rui had also thought about whether the soldiers of the rebel camps could be 'cleaned up' through resurrection points. However, it was just a thought and he didn't have any wild hopes! Who would have thought that the reality would actually be as Yang Rui had hoped. Even though Yang Rui had always been calm, he was still a little excited.
Without hesitation, Yang Rui immediately used the bandit camp at the entrance of Gourd Valley to level up 50 Third Grade soldiers to Fourth Grade soldiers with longswords.
"Longswords: Fifth Grade Soldier. Basic Sword Technique (Basic skills of Second Grade Soldier) 100%. Advanced Sword Technique (Advanced skills of Third Grade Soldier) 100%. Counter Challenge (Close combat skills of Fourth Grade Soldier) 100%. First Grade soldiers with longswords are already in the category of mid-grade soldiers. In terms of combat power, they should be much higher than Third Grade soldiers!
However, Yang Rui didn't level up too many soldiers at once. Currently, Mountain Town was at the top of the world rankings. A sudden change in the military strength index would definitely attract a lot of attention. Therefore, Yang Rui decided to split it up a few more times. This way, even if someone noticed the change in the rankings, they would mostly think that it was caused by the soldiers' normal advancement.
After the new batch of Fourth Grade longsword-wielding soldiers joined the battle, Yang Rui was no longer just defending and counterattacking. Instead, he had Zhang Tian lead these soldiers into the valley for a round of slaughter.
Naturally, the First and Second Grade soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were no match for the power of fifty Fourth Grade soldiers and a beginner general like Zhang Tian. Even though the Yellow Turban Army had the advantage in numbers, they were still beaten to a pulp and unable to retaliate. Yang Rui's mission points and achievement points increased rapidly. In just one morning, he had gained over 8,000 points!
Perhaps it was because of the addition of this new force that consumed too much of the enemy's strength. In the afternoon, the number of Yellow Turban Army's attacking force slowly decreased, and the intensity of the attack finally decreased. At this time, Zhang Tian could already bring this group of powerful thugs out of the valley and wantonly slaughter near the valley entrance!
Repeating this process, they would return to the checkpoint to rest when their stamina was exhausted, and continue fighting when their stamina was replenished. In just one afternoon, Zhang Tian and the Fourth Grade longswords had taken another five thousand lives of the Yellow Turban Army! And this was on the basis that the enemy's offensive had decreased, and their numbers were not as dense as before!
In the evening, the Yellow Turban Army once again stopped attacking the mountain checkpoint and set up camp outside the valley entrance to rest. Naturally, Yang Rui would not let go of this opportunity. He brought the forty Fifth Grade bandit leaders who had rested for the entire day and continued to raid the camp under the cover of the night.
Due to the increase in manpower, Yang Rui divided the bandit leaders into four groups. Each group had ten people, and Yang Rui was responsible for searching for items at the back.
The bandit leaders were already familiar with this task. Even if they had not participated in the raid on the first day, they got the hang of it quickly. Therefore, their efficiency in 'working' was still very high. Even Yang Rui could not pick up the dropped items in time!
However, the Yellow Turban Army's camp did not have many valuable items. Yang Rui only picked up gold coins, yellow turban, and some Second Grade items. The rest of the items were not valuable and did not have much use value. Yang Rui almost gave up on picking them up.
"Waa … waa …"
Just as the bandit leaders were getting excited, the cry of a child came from one of the tents in front of them! The child's cry was not a big deal, but it caused a chain reaction in the surrounding tents. Many children started crying and making a fuss.
"Don't cry, child … don't cry!"
"Ahhh, don't cry, don't cry, drink milk, drink milk …"
"… …"
Yang Rui's brain short-circuited. There were wives and children in the Yellow Turban Army's tents?! Yang Rui immediately had the bandit leaders of the four groups stop what they were doing and hide on the spot.
After some thought, Yang Rui guessed that these women and children should be the family members of the Yellow Turban Army. They were all gathered here for the night!
The number of tents tonight was obviously much lower than the previous day. Now that most of the Yellow Turban Army's tents had been cleared out, this tent was located right in the center of the Yellow Turban Army's camp. It should be the family members of the Yellow Turban Army!
"Let's see if we can capture them alive!"
There was no way Yang Rui could lay his hands on this group of women and children! Originally, Yang Rui had planned to leave immediately. After tonight's ambush, it was hard to say if the Yellow Turban Army would organize another attack tomorrow. He had already achieved his goal!
Just as he was about to leave, Yang Rui's mind raced. There were at least a few hundred tents in front of him, and each tent had twelve people. There should be at least four to five thousand people in the Yellow Turban Army! If he could capture them and turn them into a Liegeman in Mountain Town, it would be a great harvest!
Yang Rui's idea was not bad, but it was very difficult to carry it out! The bandit leaders tried to enter the basic tents and tie up the adults. However, the children cried and made a fuss, and they were almost exposed!
If so many family members were frightened and ran away, it would be very difficult to control them! More importantly, the bandit leaders realized that the women and children in the tents were indeed the family members of the Yellow Turban Army. However, they were not just family members! They were also loyal supporters of the Yellow Turban Army and could go on a rampage at any time! This could be guessed from the fact that they were in the enemy camp!
In the end, Yang Rui had the bandit leaders sneak into the tents one by one and tie up all the women. As for the children, if they woke up and made a fuss, they were also temporarily tied up. If the children were too young to be tied up, they could only cry and make a fuss!
Of course, before this, Yang Rui sent two bandit leaders back to Mountain Town and gathered all the manpower that could be gathered. They were scattered outside the tents to prevent the women from waking up and running away! This included over a thousand Tier-1 militia that had just changed their profession!
