Chapter 37: You Guys Keep Fighting, This Lord Is Going to Raid Your Base
Before they left, Liu Chu and Meng Feng had deliberately said a few words about Wang Heng. Was it simply so that Wang Heng would target him in the future, forcing him to seek refuge with them?
No!
It was their way of telling this lord what Wang Heng was doing, so that he could go create some trouble for Wang Heng.
Xiao Wen disliked being manipulated like this.
However, since the target was Wang Heng, he was more than willing to do it.
He found a tavern in the city, ordered some food, and after eating and drinking his fill, went upstairs and rented a private room.
Inside the room, Xiao Wen changed into his Stalker Set and quietly slipped out through the window. He made his way to the city's relay station and teleported directly to a small town adjacent to Qingfeng Stronghold, then headed toward the stronghold.
When Xiao Wen arrived at Qingfeng Stronghold, he discovered that battle cries shook the heavens. Groups of soldiers and bandits were locked in fierce combat, fighting back and forth in a lively battle.
It was worth mentioning that the strength of individual soldiers was somewhat inferior to that of the bandits.
However, while the soldiers were weaker individually, they possessed overwhelming numbers.
Judging from the number of generals present alone, it was obvious that Wang Heng had brought at least several dozen guild members to assist him in attacking Qingfeng Stronghold.
Xiao Wen's gaze swept past the crowd and landed directly on Wang Heng, who stood at the center like the moon surrounded by stars.
As expected, this fellow really was attacking Qingfeng Stronghold!
Still, judging from the situation, it would take several hours at least before they could capture it.
Xiao Wen remained calm.
Qingfeng Stronghold was different from Black Fiend Stronghold.
Although both were bandit strongholds, Qingfeng Stronghold was not Bluestone-grade but Bronze-grade.
In terms of power, it surpassed Black Fiend Stronghold by an entire tier. Its strength was greater, and capturing it was far more difficult.
To a certain extent, a stronghold like this was already comparable to a weaker main city.
A main city was a higher-level player territory beyond a county city.
He hadn't expected Wang Heng's ambitions to be this great.
His territory hadn't even advanced to a county city yet, and he was already gathering players to attack a Bronze-grade stronghold comparable to a main city.
Looks like this guy was suppressed by this lord for too long and wanted an opportunity to turn the tables, seize Qingfeng Stronghold first, obtain a City Establishment Token, and build a county city.
His plan wasn't bad.
The problem was that there was still quite a gap between planning it and actually accomplishing it.
You guys keep fighting down there.
I'll slowly watch from the mountaintop.
If the opportunity presents itself, raiding your base isn't out of the question either.
Xiao Wen silently thought to himself.
He then circled the stronghold, locating several weak points in its defenses and memorizing them. After comparing them, he selected one spot and rapidly advanced.
His speed was astonishing as he charged toward a smaller battlefield ahead.
As Xiao Wen rushed forward, the bandits and soldiers fighting there simultaneously turned their eyes toward him and were startled.
A guy dressed in black stealth gear in broad daylight obviously didn't belong to either side.
Therefore...
Kill him!
Both sides of the battle almost simultaneously split off several men and charged toward Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen remained calm.
A few bandits and a few recruits think they can stop this lord?
You're seriously looking down on me!
With a cold laugh, Xiao Wen raised his hand and gripped the Python-Head Moon-Sundering Spear.
The spear thrust forward repeatedly, producing sharp tearing sounds through the air. Spiral streams of force shot forward and struck their chests, instantly piercing through them.
Fatal Hit, HP -999.
Fatal Hit, HP -999.
...
Red damage numbers continuously floated above their heads.
Xiao Wen's spear moved like a dragon, showing no signs of stopping. As he swung the spear forward, a faint dragon's roar seemed to echo through the air.
Charging at the front, unstoppable, he directly punched through the formation and killed his way into the rear of the stronghold.
As he slaughtered the bandits before him, Xiao Wen advanced bathed in blood. Each movement of his spear caused fatal-hit damage numbers to appear.
At this moment, Xiao Wen was like a grim reaper, constantly moving while harvesting lives from every direction.
In only a few moments, one person after another collapsed lifelessly onto the ground.
Xiao Wen charged directly into the depths of the stronghold, an area located near the mountaintop.
Unlike the battlefield raging below, this place was almost completely silent. The sounds of battle could barely be heard, and there were hardly any people in sight.
Occasionally, he could see one or two attractive maidservants.
Yet their expressions remained calm, without the slightest trace of panic, as though the battle below had no effect on them whatsoever.
Wearing the Stalker Set and concealing his presence, Xiao Wen slowly moved forward.
With his strength, avoiding these maidservants was incredibly easy.
Soon, he found a lone bandit within the stronghold, seized him, and pressed the tip of his spear against the man's throat. Only then did he obtain information regarding the stronghold's internal layout.
Among all the information, what interested Xiao Wen the most was naturally the details concerning the two stronghold leaders and their residences.
Within Qingfeng Stronghold, there were only two leaders.
Although there were only two of them, their backgrounds were anything but ordinary.
The chief leader was named Hua Feng, the adopted son of Hua Xiong.
The second leader was named Zhou Qi, the adopted son of Zhou Fuquan, one of Hua Xiong's deputy generals.
Under the command of these two men, Qingfeng Stronghold had gained considerable notoriety. Although they committed countless crimes, very few people dared provoke them.
Wang Heng was the first.
The two leaders were enraged and had already mobilized every bandit in the stronghold, determined to annihilate this invading enemy.
Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes.
After obtaining the information he wanted, he killed the bandit with a single thrust and calmly headed toward Hua Feng's residence.
According to the information from that bandit, a secret treasure vault was hidden within the chief leader's residence.
Whenever they returned from a successful raid, Hua Feng would have valuable treasures delivered into his room.
However, whenever servants later entered to clean the room, they never saw any of those treasures.
As a result, they suspected that a secret passage and a hidden treasure chamber existed somewhere within the residence.
Recalling the servant's words, Xiao Wen strode directly into Hua Feng's residence.
The room was not large, and its furnishings were simple.
The only thing that immediately caught his attention upon entering was a decorative bonsai.
A bonsai?
Since when did a crude bandit leader enjoy admiring flowers and scenery?
Something was suspicious!
A thought flashed through Xiao Wen's mind.
He immediately stepped forward and placed his hand on the bonsai.
The moment his hand touched it, he discovered that it could be moved.
This was...
A mechanism!
As he rotated the mechanism, a rumbling sound echoed through the room, and a passageway appeared beneath the bed.
Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes and, without the slightest hesitation, headed into the tunnel.
When the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman profits.
You guys can keep fighting up front.
This lord will just raid your base!
