Chapter 24

"You killed a bandit leader and gained 5000 experience points!"

"Your [Advanced Saber Technique] (lv.5) proficiency +1000, current proficiency 16500/50000!..."

"Due to your talent [Hundredfold Growth], you gained extra growth during this process, [Advanced Saber Technique] proficiency +100000, current proficiency 116500/50000!"

"Congratulations! Your [Advanced Saber Technique] has leveled up, current level lv.6!"

"Congratulations! Your [Advanced Saber Technique] has leveled up, current level lv.7!"

Glancing at the game notifications flashing on his character panel, Su Li was very satisfied.

Killing a bandit leader actually granted 100,000 skill proficiency, directly leveling up his Advanced Saber Technique by 2 levels.

That was very nice.

However, Su Li wasn't so excited that he forgot the battle wasn't over yet; he used his refined iron long saber to pick up the bandit leader’s head and walked to the center of the plaza.

"Your leader is dead."

"Why don't you surrender quickly?"

"Those who resist and flee... will be killed without mercy!"

A voice like a booming bell spread across the plaza; when they saw Su Li picking up the one-eyed man’s head with his refined iron long saber, the vast majority of the bandits dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Only a very small number of people prepared to flee the stronghold.

Clang!

With a cold expression, Su Li plunged the refined iron long saber into the ground and switched to the iron-core bow in his hand.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The sound of arrows tearing through the air was continuous.

Every arrow fired was accompanied by a fleeing enemy falling to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen enemies died under Su Li’s bow and arrows.

"Longbowmen brothers, you keep shooting."

"The rest of you, follow me down to guard the gate; don't let a single enemy escape!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang made a decisive choice.

He let the twelve longbowmen stay at the commanding height to attack the scattered enemies still resisting, while he and the seven sword-shield soldiers charged down from the commanding height to join the final cleanup.

He didn't know if it was Su Li’s imagination.

He saw that Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang and the other sword-shield soldiers, despite also being advanced units, could wipe out the fleeing advanced bandits without leaving a single one behind.

And they were fighting more and more fiercely.

Among this, although there was the reason that the bandits were routed and their morale had weakened.

But being able to achieve this level was enough to show that Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang and the others were no longer ordinary sword-shield soldiers.

Su Li subconsciously checked their character panels.

[Sword-Shield Soldier]: Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang (Beginner, 30%)

[Attributes]: Command 3, Martial Strength 14, Intelligence 3, Politics 2

[Skills]: Intermediate Hunting (lv.4), (Intermediate Saber Technique lv.1)

[Loyalty]: 90

Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang, who was originally a farmer, only had 4 points of martial strength; now that he had become a sword-shield soldier, he had a full 14 points of martial strength.

Not only that.

His skills were also growing rapidly.

After Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang transferred to a combat unit, after only one or two battles, his saber technique skill had actually reached the intermediate level.

Growing at this speed.

After a few more battles, he would be able to raise his saber technique skill to the advanced level.

Once the saber technique breaks through to the advanced level, not only will it add an extra 5 points of martial strength, but he will also be able to comprehend saber Qi.

How strong saber Qi is goes without saying; it can completely increase one’s combat effectiveness by one or two times or more.

Besides skills, the speed of his profession proficiency increase was not slow either, now at 30%.

Once they all reach the advanced level or higher, Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang’s martial strength will definitely reach over 20 points.

Although Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang belongs to a rarer type of ordinary NPC, his initial martial strength is two or three points higher than other NPCs.

The other sword-shield soldiers now only have martial strength of just over 10 points.

But under the influence of the hundredfold growth, they are all growing very fast.

At this speed, it is not difficult for them to break through 15 points of martial strength.

Looking at the attribute panels of Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang and the others, Su Li expressed his satisfaction.

He would definitely find a way to form a Blood-Red Cavalry later.

And the biggest difficulty in forming the Blood-Red Cavalry is the requirement of having martial strength above 15 points.

If he didn't have the hundredfold growth talent, or if the hundredfold growth couldn't affect the growth of combat units.

Then wanting to form a Blood-Red Cavalry would definitely be a very long process.

But as things stand, it’s just a matter of lacking horses.

Soon...

The fleeing bandits were cleaned up, and the remaining bandits all dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, indicating their submission.

By this time, the number of enemies who died at Su Li’s hands exceeded three hundred, and the number of surviving enemies in the stronghold was still nearly two hundred!

The vast majority of them were ordinary bandits, with only a very small number being advanced bandits.

The most essential difference between these two types of bandits is the gap in martial strength.

"Lord, all the fleeing enemies have been eliminated!"

"Only a few of our brothers suffered minor injuries; no one was killed in battle!"

Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang brought the other nineteen unit NPCs and walked over.

"Well done." Su Li smiled and encouraged them, then continued: "First, confiscate their weapons, and then have them cooperate in searching for loot to see what the harvest is this time."

Confiscating weapons is easy.

Just pick up all the bandits’ weapons and pile them to one side.

But having nearly two hundred bandits cooperate with their twenty people... no matter how you think about it, it seems a bit incredible.

But in reality, the difficulty wasn't that high.

These people had been scared to death by Su Li.

As long as Su Li was still in the stronghold, these surrendered bandits would not dare to rebel again, because no one could guarantee that if they rebelled, they would still be able to walk out of the stronghold alive.

And they had managed to save their lives by surrendering the first time; if they rebelled and surrendered again, they would surely die!

Subsequently.

Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang and the others took these bandits to clean up the battlefield and search the entire stronghold for any potential loot.

Su Li walked to the bandit leader’s corpse and searched it.

Killing an NPC of this leader level, under normal circumstances, usually yields good things.

First, there was the black long halberd used by the one-eyed man.

It was a rare weapon with a quality of 1 star.
