Royal Ruler

Attacking Villages

Bai Qi's figure blurred as he stepped aside to the left of the Skeleton Shieldbearers. He released his Qi Slash at full strength, his sword erupted with light as a 3 meter light arc slashed out from it.

THE EXPLOSION!!

Bai Qi's attack caused the 3 Skeleton Shieldbearers and Skeleton Infantry behind them to be sent flying, completely destroying their defenses.

Zhao Fu hurriedly roared, "Quick! Separate them! "

Shieldbearers and Infantry were immediately obedient, splitting into two teams and separating the Skeleton that had fallen and the Skeleton that had not.

Now that the Skeleton defense had been broken, they immediately fell into chaos. The warrior Zhao Fu started attacking, but because of how close his own people and the Skull were, Zhao Fu could not use the Fireball and could only fire Rock Crushing Arrows.

While the Skeleton Shieldbearer was distracted, Zhao Fu shot an arrow at him, piercing into his head.

'The 'cracks' sounded as the blue flame tongue inside the Skeleton Shieldbearer's head went out. His body collapsed as his bones and the shield he was holding fell to the ground.

It was actually quite difficult to hit the Skeleton's head because its arrows were quite easy to avoid. Zhao Fu had only succeeded this time because the Skeleton Shieldbearer had been distracted.

However, he did not have time to celebrate when a shout sounded.

"Gurghhh!"

After being hit by several arrows, a Skeleton Archer went all-out, quickly firing an arrow, one of which had pierced into one of the Infantry's arms.

"Damn it!" Zhao Fu inwardly cursed as he shouted, "The archer, suppress that Skeleton Archer! Bai Qi, be careful. "

Bai Qi nodded and rushed towards the Skull Archers while they were being held back by Archer Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu picked up the wounded Infantry from the battle. Fortunately, Zhao Fu had used the Fine Martial Soul from before, giving him a skill that soon became proficient. Therefore, he had a good understanding of archery. Although the arrows he shot did not instantly kill the Skull like before, they temporarily halted the Skeleton army's attack, creating some opportunities for his soldiers.

The Skeleton warriors seemed to detect that the battle was becoming increasingly unfavorable to them, and they began to attack ferociously with wild abandon. In the end, Zhao Fu's side ended up killing all the Skulls with the price of 3 wounded. Bai Qi also managed to dispatch a Skeleton Archer, obtaining a Soul Soldier from one of the Skeleton Archers.

This time, the 13 Skeleton warriors had dropped 9 Purified Martial Souls, 13 Blue-class weapons, and 3 White-grade weapons.

Overall, they had obtained 1 Silver-grade weapon, 55 Blue-class weapons, 10 White-grade weapons, 38 Fine Martial Souls, and 2 Soul Warriors in this expedition. They are worth about 405 gold coins, which is 4,050,000 copper coins.

Zhao Fu had no idea what Soldier Souls were worth because he had never seen them in the forum before. They seemed to be extremely rare, and it was difficult for Zhao Fu to put a price on them, so he did not calculate the value in the total he had calculated.

The advantage they received today was both shocking as well as pleasing to Zhao Fu. However, when he looked at the four wounded soldiers, he sighed deeply. They should stop here and go back to resting and strategizing. If they continued, they would continue to suffer injuries or even suffer death.

Zhao Fu walked towards the soldier who had suffered the worst injury, the infantry soldier who had been shot in the arm by the arrow, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

The infantryman quickly nodded, indicating that he was fine.

Seeing this, Zhao Fu said, "I'll help you remove the arrow."

"Alright, don't worry about it," Zhao Fu smiled bitterly. Because these soldiers respected him so much, he felt very guilty when he saw them get hurt.

Zhao Fu tore off the Infantry arm and cut the arrow shaft before pulling the arrow out in an instant. Blood started to flow out from the wound, and Zhao Fu quickly used Blood Healing. This was his first time using it, so he was not sure what the effect would be.

As Zhao Fu placed his hand near his wound, a blood-colored light shone from his hand. The bleeding of the infantry stopped, and the flesh recovered itself at a rate that could be seen with the naked eye.

Although Blood Healing did not fully heal the wound, it was already half healed.

The infantryman was almost moved to the point of almost crying. He never thought that His Highness was so famous, who would become the ruler of Great Qin, would personally tend to his injuries. Everyone who saw this felt more loyal to Zhao Fu.

After this, Zhao Fu brought everyone back to the surface. He told the wounded soldiers to get medical treatment and then sent the weapons to the Blacksmith Wang Dawu for repair.

Zhao Fu and Bai Qi went to a room to discuss their experience of the battle today. They discussed the flaws of their tactics as well as the weaknesses of their enemies and came up with new battle tactics.

After a while, someone came and reported that the bandit village had been found 10 kilometers south of Great Qin Village. Hearing this, Zhao Fu and Bai Qi ended their discussion and began to gather their soldiers.

"Your Majesty! I want to go too. "

Liu Mei was overjoyed when she heard that there was going to be a fight – obviously, she was not a peaceful person and ran to find Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu looked at him and asked, "Can you really obey my orders?"

Liu Mei quickly nodded, stating that she would follow all her orders.

Seeing this, Zhao Fu reminded him, "If you don't follow orders on the battlefield and make trouble, I will definitely kill you!"

Liu Mei knew that Zhao Fu was someone who would stand by his words. However, she felt a little displeased – after all, she was quite pretty, so how could this fellow continue to threaten to kill her.

"Forget it, I won't fight with him. I've been very bored in Great Qin Village for the past few days, so I have to go with them to attack this bandit village, "think Liu Mei to herself. He nodded again, showing that he understood.

Zhao Fu did not say much after that. With Liu Mei's skills, he would greatly help them on the battlefield.

Soon, the soldiers had been gathered and they set off. After traveling for approximately an hour, they arrived at the village of bandits.

This bandit village was next to a small river, and not too big. The defense was also very poor, and there were about 150 people in the village. What surprised Zhao Fu was that about 30 of them were wearing armor. Since they had so many pieces of armor, they most likely had blueprints for the plate armor, which made him feel happy.

Now, Zhao Fu had about 300 soldiers in his army: 200 were soldiers from Great Qin Village, 60 Goblins, and 40 Gnome Crossbowmen.

With 300 soldiers, Zhao Fu would definitely win if he directly attacked the bandit village, since the bandit village only had 150 people. However, Zhao Fu's forces would still suffer injuries and fatalities, and that was not Zhao Fu's style.

Therefore, he had to seriously look for weaknesses or use methods similar to what he had used against the Wolf Village. Although it was very shameless, it was quite effective.

When Zhao Fu surveyed the village, he found that no land was planted inside the village of bandits, which made sense – bandits obtained all their food by attacking other villages or hunting wild beasts. This village seemed to be the last one, so the situation was not complicated anymore.
