Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Launching the Offensive, Final Preparations
For him, with a strength value of twenty-eight, picking up the little girl was easy as pie.
As the saying goes, it’s hard to move a hundred pounds of bricks, but moving a hundred pounds of a little girl and money is a breeze!
Zong Shen held the little girl and tiptoed out of the domed tent.
Traversing a distance of over ten meters.
He smoothly joined up with Luna and returned to the woods together.
The surrounding warriors were all gearing up.
Madeleine even nimbly climbed up a tree, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes.
Zong Shen gently set the little girl down.
"Are you Marie?"
He began to confirm the little girl’s identity, knowing a mistake would be awkward.
The little girl nodded, her expression still somewhat panicked.
Afraid that she’d just escaped a wolf’s den only to step into a tiger’s lair.
Zong Shen glanced with his eyes, and the little girl’s information began to appear before him.
[Sitanos Village Resident: Marie]
[Level: 3]
[Race: Human]
(A weak, pitiful, and helpless young girl who has received some education. She’s been helping manage her family’s business since young and is extremely sensitive to logistics management, possessing green elite hero talent.)
Zong Shen let out a breath, then his eyes lit up; this little girl is quite the talent.
During his time in Sitanos Village, he had observed the villagers once.
This was the first time he discovered a heroic-level individual.
Although she’s just green elite level, it’s still a rare talent.
"I was sent by your father to rescue you. In a while, wait for me on the other side of the woods."
"Once we clean up these bandits, we’ll take you back to the village."
He flashed a friendly smile.
Determined to find a good opportunity to bring Marie under his wing in the future.
But the priority was to complete the mission first and gradually build a good relationship with Master Mars.
Zong Shen instinctively touched his chin.
Thinking about how to persuade Master Mars.
Marie nodded cautiously, appearing innocent and shy.
It seemed this little girl had been living under her father’s protection, in the relatively safe Sitanos Village, unaware of the dangers outside.
"Thank you, big brother..."
The little girl bowed, completely unaware that she had already been added to Zong Shen’s ledger.
"Let’s take care of business first."
Zong Shen decided to eliminate this group of bandits first.
"Lensa, you go to the rear tent area and wait. I’ll ride Pigsy with Luna, charging directly to draw their attention, then you strike from the rear tent area."
"Once we’re in, Favide, Aisha, you both attack continuously using Small Fireball and Holy Light Arrow."
"Madeleine, perform precise shooting with your Longbow, conserve your arrows."
"Luna, you’re with me."
Zong Shen arranged the plan step by step.
Then, taking Marie, he moved several hundred meters, arriving at the other side of the woods, where everyone had previously placed their mounts.
Luna mounted the Black Panther, and Zong Shen rode Pigsy, leaving Marie there.
"Wait here for me. If there’s any sudden situation, run towards the woods; my soldiers are there."
Zong Shen leaned down for a final reminder.
Seeing the little girl nod obediently, he and Luna rode along the edge of the woods, heading for a frontal assault on the camp.
The two rode their mounts at full speed and soon reached the front of the camp.
The massive Blood-toothed Wild Boar Pigsy was like a small red bus, instantly drawing the bandits’ attention.
The bandits who were dozing off or sunbathing immediately sprang up.
They raised their ragged weapons but hesitated in place.
"Initiate Blood Fang Charge!"
Zong Shen patted Pigsy’s head, telepathically sending the command to attack.
Pigsy pawed the ground with its front hoof.
Two thick breaths were sprayed from its nostrils, launching a charge attack.
In charging state, Pigsy was like a bowling ball, instantly scattering a dozen or so bandits.
Luna began to leap from side to side, throwing Moon Blades, and Lensa charged out with a roar, swinging his claws in both directions, beginning the slaughter.
Soon after, magical attacks and the ranger’s sharp arrows also joined the fray.
These thoroughly underwhelming bandit lackeys stood no chance, quickly being wiped out completely,
The commotion in the camp caught the attention of the bandit main force besieging the Lord’s Courtyard.
Realizing they had been attacked from behind, the bandits, led by the bald-headed ruffian, started to return to the camp.
The lord inside the courtyard, seeing the bandits outside hastily retreating, almost jumped up in excitement.
Behind him stood three farmers, a wolf cavalryman, and a burly warrior with two long axes.
This bit of troop strength was insufficient to overcome the bandit main force.
The lord climbed onto the wall, wanting to see what exactly caused these bandits to suddenly leave.
Until he saw a figure rampaging through the camp on a massive wild boar,
he stood there with his mouth slightly open, stunned.
...
On the other side in the camp, Zong Shen and his group were like divine troops descending from the heavens.
With thunderous momentum, they swiftly wiped out the riffraff bandits.
Zong Shen entered the domed tent, preparing to open the treasure chest.
The other soldiers stood vigilantly outside the tent, preparing for the second wave of battle.
The distance from the besieged Lord’s Courtyard to the bandit camp was about two miles.
These bandits had no mounts, needing at least 2 to 3 minutes to run back.
This time was Zong Shen’s buffer period for final battle preparations!
At this moment, Zong Shen was inside the domed tent, quickly opening the treasure chest!
He first approached the Ancient Bronze Treasure Chest.
[Ancient Bronze Treasure Chest]
[An unknown ancient bronze chest, no one knows what it might contain]
(The chest has no issues, you can open it without worry)
Zong Shen chose [Open].
Several reward light clusters appeared.
[Successfully opened Ancient Bronze Treasure Chest]
[Basic-Level Fertile Land Construction Blueprint ×3]
[Tier One City Wall Construction Blueprint ×1]
[Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scroll ×2]
[Tier One Spike Trap Technology Construction Map ×1]
[Giant Moon Blade Skill Book (Green) ×1]
Not bad! Zong Shen didn’t have time to check carefully, first dismantling the treasure chest into 10 pieces of copper.
Next, he directly used the two Recruitment Scrolls.
They turned into two dust clouds of black powder that fell to the ground, then morphed into two hexagram formations with unique runes.
Within each formation appeared a singularity of twisting space, enlarging into two clusters of black light.
The two black glows then began to transform.
Finally, they gradually dispersed.
Two tall and strong wolf riders appeared before Zong Shen.
They dismounted their wolves one after another,
went in front of Zong Shen, and knelt on one knee.
"Wolf Cavalryman Gao Si reporting to you!"
"Wolf Cavalryman Sinier reporting to you!"
Two rough voices rang out in succession.
"Great Lord, may you be in good health!"
