Chapter 769

There are a great many bandit forces.

Some are lone wolves, some are small groups of a few people, and some are larger organizations of many people.

The largest bandit force near River Valley Town is the one led by Jiang Yang, who call themselves the Heavenly King Army.

They rob homes and plunder, caring nothing for nobles or foreigners alike—everyone is their target.

Nobles especially have the most money, so they are their top priority.

Commoners are too poor, so they actually have no interest in them.

The second type: hidden forces.

They are basically people who were forced into rebellion by the nobles, or who refused to pay taxes, or who didn't want to fight magical beasts, so they live a life on the run.

In the River Valley Town area, the strongest is the alliance led by Feng Nan, who call themselves the World Abandoners Alliance.

The previous Fragrant Food Street, as well as several other black markets, were mostly set up by them.

They have the largest numbers, but their strength is average.

Most of them are craftsmen or martial artists; the proportion of lords is not very high.

Although they live in the shadows, they don't have to resist magical beasts, so they have no beast quota.

On top of that, they only need to pay reasonable taxes, so these people actually live quite well.

However, once the nobles find them, their good life is over.

Hidden forces and bandit forces frequently transform into one another.

When bandits grow tired of raiding, they hide and lie low for a while, living in the shadows.

When their supplies run out, they also go out to attack nobles, or attack commoner families.

After getting their haul, they hide again and wait for the next raid.

The third type: resistance forces.

These are the true resistance army.

But their numbers are the smallest.

They have ideals, they have beliefs—they are the true hope of the common people.

Unfortunately, they are the targets the nobles strike hardest at, and carry the highest bounties.

Because of the bounties, they frequently suffer betrayal.

Some betrayers are even people they have helped.

Their casualty rate is very high, yet people keep joining them.

After all, there will always be people with hot blood in their veins and hope in their hearts.

Bandit forces often act in their name, raiding and plundering everywhere.

The true resistance army also has several different factions.

The strongest one nearby is led by General Yan Ling, and they call themselves the World-Breaking Army.

Apart from that.

There are also many miscellaneous forces that the nobles have classified as resistance forces.

But Han Er doesn't know much about these.

At this point, all the interrogations were complete.

From the system spaces of those 3 beastfolk heroes, a total of 260 medicines were obtained, along with some spare axes.

It can be said that the three of them didn't have anything good.

However, they themselves are beastfolk heroes—that alone makes them valuable goods.

Altogether they can be sold for dozens or even over a hundred gold coins.

But from Gao Di and Han Er, there were still some gains.

【Gao Di's System Space】

【Seized】 45 gold coins, 203 medicines, 1 Three-Life Stone, 5 Boundary-Sealing Locks, 10 Disorder-Mark Talismans, 1 set of iron spare equipment

Not bad.

No need to say much about the gold coins, but there's actually a Three-Life Stone too.

The Three-Life Stone can reset talents—it's not needed right now, but it's nice to keep.

As for the Boundary-Sealing Locks and the like, the more the better.

That set of iron equipment includes a full suit of armor, a shield, and an iron saber.

They are all brand new.

Zhao Chi accepted them with a smile for his own use.

【Han Er's System Space】

【Seized】 109 gold coins, 310 medicines, 10 Boundary-Sealing Locks, 20 Disorder-Mark Talismans, 1 Cattle-Type Super Improvement Book, 1 set of iron spare equipment

Zhao Chi spotted that Super Improvement Book at a glance.

The moment he saw the book, Zhao Chi didn't even need to click to use it to know what its effect would be.

It was nothing more than improving the breeding of cattle, making them better.

But two things are still missing right now.

One is cattle.

That one is easy to solve—just buy them from other lords.

But a Cattle-Type Improvement Book is still needed.

The Super Improvement Book must be used after the Improvement Book.

That one seems hard to obtain.

He had never seen this kind of improved book at the exchange before.

However, relatively speaking, super improved books were even harder to obtain.

Getting a hard-to-obtain super improved book first instead was not bad.

He would look for the rest slowly later.

Han Er had quite a few gold coins, already over a hundred.

He also had some of every kind of item.

Confiscate everything!

Next, he had to deal with the prisoners.

After Zhao Chi's two battles this time, he had obtained a total of 117 human prisoners, 250 female elf prisoners, and 469 beastfolk prisoners.

There were also 2 human lord prisoners, Gao Di and Han Er, 3 beastfolk hero prisoners, and 1 female elf prisoner.

Among the human prisoners, 15 women had looks reaching 6 points; these could be kept.

Zhao Chi had no particular thoughts about them.

Although their looks reached class-beauty level, their other conditions were far inferior to the women of Taoyuan.

Zhao Chi wanted them for farming.

They were all ordinary humans, with the racial talent 【Farming】, which could increase crop yield by 10%.

Although there were only 15 of them, there were also 200 flower fairies cooperating.

So these 15 women could farm a large amount of land.

The remaining humans would be sold.

Zhao Chi had no use for them, so he could let them work under other lords.

That could be considered a good destination.

The number of female elf prisoners was considerable, a full 250.

Similarly, although the female elves' looks were also 6 points, and their figures were all quite good.

But the Taoyuan humans better fit Zhao Chi's aesthetic, and their bodies were softer.

Zhao Chi wanted these elves not for anything else, but to add some combat power and sentries.

These female elves had slender figures, and all possessed the talent 【Lightness】, which could reduce fall damage by 30%.

They were well-suited for scouting and shooting arrows from treetops or defense towers.

Used as support, they were also quite good.

He didn't know how much the elves ate, but 250 elves would also consume quite a bit of food.

He'd see later.

As for the beastfolk prisoners……
