Chapter 55

However, Su Li didn't get too excited and forget that the battle wasn't over yet; he directly used the refined iron long blade to pick up the bandit leader's head and walked to the center of the plaza.

"Your leader is dead."

"Why haven't you surrendered yet?"

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

A voice as deafening as a booming bell spread across the plaza. When they saw Su Li picking up the head of the one-eyed giant with his refined iron long blade, 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 blade into the ground and switched the weapon in his hand to the Iron-Fetal Bow.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

The sound of piercing through the air was continuous.

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

In the blink of an eye, another dozen or so enemies died under Su Li's bow and arrows.

"Longbowmen brothers, keep shooting."

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

Seeing this scene, Zhang Qiang made a decisive choice.

He let the twelve longbowmen stay at the high vantage point to attack the scattered enemies who were still resisting, while he and the seven blade-shield soldiers rushed down from the high vantage point to join in the final cleanup.

I don't know if it was Su Li's imagination.

He saw that Zhang Qiang and the other blade-shield soldiers, despite also being advanced troop types, could slaughter the fleeing advanced bandits without leaving a single one behind.

And they were getting fiercer the more they fought.

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 Qiang and the others were no longer ordinary blade-shield soldiers.

Su Li subconsciously checked their character panels.

【Blade-Shield Soldier】: Zhang Qiang (Initial, 30%)

【Attributes】: Command 3, Force 14, Intelligence 3, Politics 2

【Skills】: Intermediate Hunting (lv. 4), (Intermediate Blade Arts lv. 1)

【Loyalty】: 90

Zhang Qiang, who was initially just a farmer, only had 4 points of Force; now that he had become a blade-shield soldier, he had a full 14 points of Force.

Not only that.

His skills were also growing rapidly.

After Zhang Qiang transferred to a combat troop type, after only one or two battles, his Blade Arts skill had actually already reached the Intermediate level.

Growing at this speed.

After a few more battles, he would be able to raise his Blade Arts skill to the Advanced level.

Once Blade Arts breaks through to the Advanced level, not only can it add an extra 5 points of Force, but it can also comprehend Blade Qi.

There is no need to say how strong Blade Qi is; it can completely increase one's combat effectiveness by one or two times or more.

Besides skills, the speed of profession proficiency improvement was not slow either; it was now at 30%.

Once they all reach the Advanced level or higher, Zhang Qiang's Force value will definitely reach 20 points or more.

Although Zhang Qiang belongs to a rare type of ordinary NPC, his initial Force value is two or three points higher than other NPCs.

The other blade-shield soldiers now only have Force values of just over 10 points.

But under the influence of Hundredfold Growth, they are all growing very fast.

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

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

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

And the biggest difficulty in forming the Blood Cavalry is the requirement for Force values to reach 15 points or more.

If there were no Hundredfold Growth talent, or if Hundredfold Growth could not affect the growth of combat troop types.

Then forming a Blood Cavalry unit would definitely be a very long process.

But as things stand now, it's just a matter of needing horses.

Soon...

The fleeing bandits were cleared out, 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, while the number of enemies surviving 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 Force values.

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

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

Zhang Qiang walked over with the other nineteen troop type NPCs.

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

Confiscating weapons was 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 out of their wits by Su Li's slaughter.

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.

Moreover, they had managed to save their lives by surrendering the first time; if they rebelled and surrendered again, it would likely be certain death!

Subsequently.

Zhang Qiang and the others led these bandits to clean up the battlefield and search for any loot that might exist throughout the stronghold.

Su Li walked to the side of the bandit leader's corpse and searched it.

Killing an NPC of this leader level, under normal circumstances, allows one to find good things on them.

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

It was a treasure-grade weapon with a quality of 1 star.
