17: Barbarian Legion

“Monks are the elite troops of the Great Qian Empire, a Tier 4 unit. They are magic warriors trained in the Royal Monk Academy. Their attack is very simple, only shooting magic bolts. Although powerful, it's not world-breaking. However, Monks are terrifying primarily because they possess two dreadful spells: one is Greater Healing, and the other is Greater Prayer. Any unit, as long as it has a Monk, will see its combat effectiveness greatly increase!”

Han Huohuo was a military enthusiast. After a moment's thought, he knew what made Monks so terrifying. You might have almost killed the enemy, but with one Greater Healing spell, they can heal all their injured soldiers, which is absolutely enough to make the opponent collapse.

What's more, there's Greater Prayer which increases all attributes of soldiers!

This is definitely a powerful support unit!

“What is the attack range of the Monks?”

“Reporting to the King, as far as I know, it's a full hundred zhang!”

Han Huohuo nodded, having a rough idea. It was similar to his Floating Turret. He began to ponder how he should deal with Monks if they were mixed in the enemy's ranks.

The Lords around Han Huohuo were all wimps, and it didn't seem like they would have the guts to launch a sneak attack on Black Wind Fortress.

Since entering this world, the only fierce one was truly Wang Haoze, the Lord of the Twin Dragon Stockade from the very beginning. If that guy hadn't run into Han Huohuo as soon as he went out and kicked a steel plate, he might have been able to wipe out all these little wimps around him.

That guy was a ruthless person, definitely someone who wouldn't bat an eye at killing.

Unfortunately, what a pity!

Decent strength, ruthless, but terrible luck!

No matter how arrogant a person is, don't go against the heavens.

Unconsciously, it was late at night. All resources were insufficient for upgrading, but Han Huohuo wasn't in a hurry. He recruited two more Floating Turret, making it six Floating Turret patrolling around the camp.

When the watchtower rested at night, using Floating Turret for patrol wasn't a big problem. In the future, he would need to recruit more Bandits so they could rotate on guard duty 24 hours a day.

This was the second night, and Han Huohuo was gradually adapting to life in this world.

He returned to the Main Camp, just about to rest.

There was a knock on the door from outside.

Liu Qiang went to open the door and saw Liu Long and Liu Hu at the entrance. Together, they carried a straw mat inside from outside the door.

“Lord, I wove a straw mat today. Try it, it should be more comfortable than the straw you have on your bed.”

“Oh?”

Han Huohuo took a look. The straw mat was very well woven, soft to the touch, and quite elastic.

The Liu Family Three Brothers entered the room, cleaned Han Huohuo's wooden plank bed, removed the straw from it, and then laid the straw mat down.

Han Huohuo tried lying on it. You have to admit, it was quite comfortable.

He didn't expect there to be more surprises.

Liu Long, as if performing a magic trick, took out a set of bedding sewn from wolf fur. One side was softened wolf fur, and the other side still had wolf hair.

Even on Earth, this would be a high-end item!

“Lord, I also made this for you. It took quite some time. Take a look, what do you think?”

Han Huohuo sighed, the craftsmanship was exquisite. It was definitely a top-tier wolf fur mattress and quilt.

This was a super good employee. Han Huohuo was shocked, secretly wondering if he had the talent of a top capitalist?

Could he make others work for him wholeheartedly without demanding money?

Liu Long even made a wooden pillow that was very ergonomic, with a groove on top.

“Liu Qiang, make a note. Except for Liu Hu, the salaries of the Liu Family Three Brothers will all be doubled.”

He was a bandits leader, but he couldn't betray the working class. He couldn't let his subordinates work without getting paid.

Liu Hu's salary had already been doubled before. This time, Liu Long and Liu Qiang also received double salaries.

Han Huohuo was never stingy with rewarding truly capable people. The Liu Family Three Brothers were all very capable and were his effective assistants, they should get a raise.

“Thank you for your kindness, Lord. My brothers and I are flattered! We will definitely do our best to share your burdens and solve your problems.”

Having received the money, the three brothers were inwardly excited and worked even more actively. Only after cleaning the room thoroughly did the three brothers ask to leave.

“Oh, right, Liu Qiang, help me recruit a few vagrants tomorrow, and then we need to build the caravan. It's safer to transport the things from the warehouse outside back to the camp.”

“King, I will go and do it tomorrow!”

The three brothers left the Main Camp.

This really solved a big problem.

If judged by Earth standards, the room and bed were still simple, but lying on the wolf fur mattress, Han Huohuo felt comfortable for the first time.

Damn it, this finally feels good!

As soon as his head touched the pillow, he immediately fell into a deep sleep.

The third day!

Sunny, with a slight breeze.

The temperature dropped a bit more. That's how late autumn weather is; after a rain, the temperature drops several degrees.

He didn't even want to get out of bed, staying under the covers.

The wolf fur is really warm.

Quilt, we are the best in both worlds!

“King, King!”

Liu Qiang paced anxiously outside the door, knocking and calling out to Han Huohuo.

That sound wasn't right, a bit anxious. Could something big have happened?

Han Huohuo didn't care about the warmth under the covers anymore. He quickly jumped up, didn't even have time to put on his shoes properly, and ran to open the door.

“King, you're finally awake!”

“What happened?”

“King, quickly look at the system notification from last night! Something big is going to happen!”

Han Huohuo's heart sank. Liu Qiang's voice already had a hint of a Crying.

He quickly opened the system and looked through the system notifications from the Ten Thousand Mountains area from last night, one by one.

“Midnight 0:00, Barbarians army, annihilated Wild Dog Stockade, Lord died, time taken 37 seconds.

Midnight 0:17, Barbarians army, annihilated Flying Dragon Stockade, Lord died, time taken 7 minutes 45 seconds.

Midnight 0:44, Barbarians army, annihilated Black Pass Stockade, Lord died, time taken 3 minutes 23 seconds.

......

6:21 AM, Barbarians army, annihilated Old Duck Stockade, Lord died, time taken 9 minutes 7 seconds.”

.......

This Barbarians army is too fierce?

Annihilated over a hundred stockades in one night?

He searched for a long time, and only one powerful stockade resisted for over an hour, but it was eventually annihilated. The remaining stockades, even resisting for a few minutes was considered tenacious.

“Come in!”

Han Huohuo didn't even bother to wash up. He called Liu Qiang in, then spread out the map and drew a line along the map.

This line was the route the Barbarians army took last night. All the stockades on this route were wiped out.

Indeed, this Barbarians army was advancing along a fixed route.

Moreover, looking at this route, it seemed like they would reach his own place after passing a few more stockades. No wonder Liu Qiang was so agitated.

What is this situation?

“King, this is the route our Wang family caravan transported on. We were originally chased by Bandits along this trade route, and we fled all the way. In the end, only the three of us brothers were left, and you took us in.”

This news seemed very unexpected, but upon careful thought, it was also quite reasonable.

Han Huohuo was stunned for a long time before finally realizing that these Barbarians were clearing out all the Bandits who had intercepted the Wang family's goods in order!

So, he was the last little bandits to be annihilated because he had taken in three of the Wang family's servants!

This was definitely a huge pitfall, specifically designed to trap newcomers. Who knew that robbing a caravan would have such consequences?

The caravan was very long and spread out. Those Lords only robbed a section of it, killed, robbed, and ran. As a result, the caravan became more and more depleted as it went, and by the time it reached him, only three servants were left.

It's over!

Liu Qiang was very scared, his legs trembling.

“It's okay, they still have to pass through four Lords before reaching us. We still have time!”

Han Huohuo patted his chest confidently, pretending not to care.

【Barbarians army annihilated Clear Water River Stockade, Lord died, time taken 17 minutes 8 seconds!】

【Barbarians army annihilated Clear Water River Stockade, Lord died, time taken 17 minutes 8 seconds!】

【Barbarians army annihilated Clear Water River Stockade, Lord died, time taken 17 minutes 8 seconds!】

......

Well, now there are only three stockades left!

The forum was already in an uproar. Everyone who woke up in the morning and saw this shocking information was stunned.

“Holy crap, the Barbarians are too fierce, what kind of unit is this?”

“Yeah, they wiped out over a hundred stockades in one night, right?”

“How unlucky can you be? The Ten Thousand Mountains is so vast, how did they run into the Barbarians?”

“Brother, let me tell you, they really didn't wrong those Bandits. I heard that those Bandits jointly robbed a merchant caravan and seized a large amount of wealth, which is why their early development was particularly fast. But these goods belonged to these Barbarians, that's why they came to kill them!”

“Then they deserved it!”

“No, I also robbed a merchant caravan, will they come looking for me? Oh my god, I'm scared to death!”

“+1, I also robbed, what should I do? Can I wave a white flag and surrender?”

“+1, Woohoo!”

“+1, I repent!”

“......”
