The moment the bandit group entered the mountain stream, Lin Han waved his hand.

"Smash it for me."

Bang bang bang!

The bandits worked particularly hard, as if the bandits below were the murderers of their fathers.

The bandits were still immersed in the excitement of discovering a fat sheep when a disaster struck them from the sky. They were hit on the head by rocks and their screams were heard from below.

"There's an ambush, ah..."

The angry sounds mixed with screams suddenly stopped.

Two minutes later, Lin Han and his group of bandits were all out of breath. They had forgotten how many stones they had thrown. They just threw stones at anyone they saw and hit anyone with a head.

Lin Han leaned over to take a look and asked everyone to stop.

The path under the mountain stream was full of stones, mixed with blood and wailing.

Among the thirty people, only a few bandits who were sticking to the wall were relatively intact, but they still had bruises on their heads. The others either had blood all over their faces or were dead on the spot.

Seeing Lin Han and his group, the few bandits who were still awake almost cried.

"I surrender, don't kill me, don't kill me."

"I surrender too."

“…”

There were only thirteen people still alive, eight of them were seriously injured and five were slightly injured. The seriously injured could not be cured, so Lin Han asked the bandits to help relieve their pain.

This is what it's like to be a thief in the mountains. If you get seriously injured, you're basically dead.

"Who among you is the boss?"

"He, he, he."

A bandit pointed fearfully at the man in the middle of the pile of rocks, who was already dead.

“How many people are still in the village now?”

"Your Excellency, there are still ten people on guard duty."

"Is there any way to lure them out?"

"cannot."

"What did you say?" Lin Han put the sword across his neck.

"Sir, please spare me. I really can't. The head of the village said that the village cannot be empty and the guards cannot go out."

"Then take the head of the master back."

Lin Han waved his hand and ordered Ah Da to chop off the leader's head. Then the group swaggered towards the village. Seeing this, several bandits in the village were scared away, and four chose to open the gate and surrender.

"Congratulations to player Xiao Hange for capturing the Langya Stronghold. Please choose to occupy, destroy, or plunder."

"plunder."

Lin Han picked an option.

There is no point in occupying it, and there is no need to destroy it. This small village might as well be used to gain experience. Small bandit villages are quite easy to deal with.

There are so many refugees that in a few days this empty village will become a small bandit village again.

"Player Xiao Hange plundered Langya Stronghold and obtained 10,000 five-zhu coins, 100 dan of grain, 10 cubic meters of wood, 10 cubic meters of stone, 1 cubic meter of iron ore, 10 villagers, 1 good horse, and 1 [Low-Level Training Ground Construction Blueprint]."

"Player Xiao Hange defeated the Wolf Fang Stronghold and gained 10 free attributes."

Lin Han's eyes lit up.

The harvest was pretty good.

Now in the novice stage, you will be rewarded with attribute points for leading troops to defeat a stronghold, but this benefit will disappear in the future.

[Low-level training ground construction blueprint]: You can provide craftsmen with a low-level training ground to improve soldiers' combat capabilities and practice combat skills. It can accommodate up to 10,000 soldiers for simultaneous training. Please ask the craftsman for the resources required for construction.

This time, you get the wealth of a small village with zero loss, as well as attribute bonuses.

Lin Han put all his attributes into martial arts, but his martial arts were too weak now. If the bandit leader was not smashed to death, he would not be able to defeat him.

Feeling that his body was filled with more strength, Lin Han nodded in satisfaction.

This time the harvest was quite fruitful, and they took the captives and loot and returned to Hanjiang Village in a mighty procession.

Next, Lin Han followed the same method and plundered the small bandit stronghold in the southeast. He added all the 10 attribute points he obtained to his strength value. His strength value also reached 100 points, allowing him to fight against the leader of the small stronghold in a duel without being at a disadvantage.

After a month, Lin Han used the two nearby villages to level up, either destroying them or looting them.

The number of captives gradually increased, the village continued to grow, and more bandits came to join him. As the number of people grew, he began to encounter difficult situations.

There are more than 300 bandits and no one to manage them.

Lack of managers.

The bandit leaders all died in the battle. Without Lin Han, no one cares about these bandits. No one knows what will happen.

"Boss, there's something going on. A group of refugees have appeared at the foot of the mountain. They seem to be seeking refuge." Ah Da hurried over to report: "We caught them and brought them here."

Only twenty or so villagers with pale faces and skinny bodies were seen entering Hanjiang Village driven by bandits.

"Boss, please spare our lives. We are all fleeing villagers. We have no money and only a bite of food to save our lives." The old man in the lead knelt down in front of Lin Han.

The other refugees behind were crying.

Five old men, ten women, children, eight middle-aged men, and two young men were so hungry that they were pale and thin. They had no power to resist the armed bandits.

"Old man, where are you from?"

"We came here to escape the war. Huang Rang, a bandit in the southwest, joined forces with bandits in Jiangxia to revolt. He gathered a hundred thousand men and conquered four counties in a row. The war broke out everywhere, forcing us to leave our homeland."

Lin Han's eyelids twitched.

One hundred thousand rebel soldiers will not pay attention to his village hidden in the mountains in the short term.

After thinking about it, Lin Han's gaze fell on the old man.

This old man looks calm and steady, so he should be useful.

"Old man, there is a war outside. Why don't you join my village and be the village chief? How about you take care of all the affairs of the village for me?" Lin Han said.

"The boss is willing to take us in?"

The old village chief was very excited and in tears. He thought they were doomed to die after being robbed by bandits, but unexpectedly there was a sudden turn of events.

"Yes, old man. There are good farmlands in the village that no one is cultivating. There are troubles everywhere outside. You and the villagers can settle down in the village."

"On behalf of the villagers, I want to thank the great leader for his generosity. I will repay him with my old bones."

The old man burst into tears and bowed to Lin Hanying.

"The boss is so righteous." All the villagers behind him knelt down, full of gratitude.

"System prompt: The old village chief is willing to lead the villagers to join Hanjiang Village."

Lin Han's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he would recruit someone who also had the skills to manage the village.

Good luck.

When you doze off, someone will give you a pillow.

He was just worrying about not having a manager, and then this happened.

"Ada, arrange accommodation and hot porridge for the old man." Lin Han waved his hand and asked the bandits to lead them into the stronghold.
