The matter was far from over; another group of bandits who had pursued them were still fighting Wang Wu and his men.
Originally, Wang Wu only needed to lead the others to a complete retreat, but when he realized that the number of bandits chasing them was not very large, he resolutely chose to continue fighting.
The reason why bandits are so terrifying is because they have horses, but if it comes to fighting on the ground, Wang Wu believes he still has some skills.
Wang Wu slashed down one man with a single blow, then roared, "Everyone, think about what kind of life we lived before, and what kind of life we live now? If you can kill one more person today, consider it as repaying Lord Ning's kindness."
They had initially felt some fear as they fought, but that fear had long since been washed away. Their bloodlust surged, and they all roared in fury.
Although it was only for half a month, they had one meat dish and one vegetable dish every day, and unlimited rice. They had never had such a life before.
Moreover, apart from daily training, Ning Ye never puts on airs like an adult, and judges right and wrong entirely by reason.
For people like them who are already living a life of constant displacement and hunger, what does it matter if they die a thousand times over if they can continue like this?
We're all born of the same parents; a knife goes in and comes out; the other person is human too, so there's no difference when it's used.
With the fierce general Wang Wu leading the way, the surrounding people were full of energy, while the bandits, having suffered repeated blows, had long since lost all morale.
If it weren't for Wang Wu's earlier retreat, these people probably wouldn't even have had the courage to pursue him.
The screams echoed through the mountains and forests for a full quarter of an hour before gradually fading away.
The burly Wang Wu, gripping a steel sword, looked at the short, thin man before him and said, "It seems all your men have fled, leaving only you. Aren't you going to surrender?"
The short man held two daggers in his hands. "I don't think so. Maybe my men will kill all your men, and you'll be the one who has to surrender."
As one figure after another emerged from the surrounding forest, the short man's expression turned extremely ugly, because all of them were local militiamen.
The original 25-strong militia had dwindled to only 18, all of them wounded, some looking as if they were barely clinging to life.
But at this moment, they were all like villains crawling out of hell, covered in blood yet brimming with surging fighting spirit.
If Ning Ye saw this scene, he would definitely be very gratified. At least these people did not disappoint him and did a good job.
Wang Wu walked step by step toward the dwarf. "Come on, all the men you brought are dead. Now you're the only leader left. You just killed two of my brothers. I'll give you a chance. I'll take you on by myself."
The dwarf's eyes were filled with madness. "I never thought I'd be defeated by a bunch of trash like you. If I kill you, will you let me go?"
Wang Wu scoffed, "You really dare to dream. If you really have that ability, then give it a try."
The battle between the two was about to break out. Wang Wu's broadsword still followed the same wide and sweeping style, but this time it was obviously more tricky than before. After all, he had made some progress in his many battles with Ning Ye.
This little dwarf wasn't kind or short; he always managed to ignore many attacks by relying on his physical advantages, and even managed to seize some counterattack opportunities that ordinary people couldn't.
The fight between the two was quite spectacular, a true contest between a warrior and an assassin.
As soon as they started fighting, Wang Wu realized that he would never have been able to beat this shorty if it were the old him. This guy was stronger than he had imagined.
However, if you think about it from a different perspective and compare the dwarf with Ning Ye, Wang Wu found that there are many similarities, except that the dwarf's attack methods are even more clumsy and incompetent.
Following this feeling, Wang Wu quickly overpowered the short man. It was certainly difficult to kill him when there was no way to catch him, but once he figured out the moves, Wang Wu easily plunged his steel knife into the man's chest.
Without giving the other party any chance to say anything, this one strike completely ended the man's life.
Wang Wu then chopped off the dwarf's head and held it high, saying, "Tonight is our victory. Now take the rest of you home, and don't leave our spoils here."
When Wang Wu returned with the group, Ning Ye was already waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.
When Ning Ye saw his men appear, a slight ripple appeared in his eyes. It seemed that these men had done something beyond his expectations.
Sometimes, looking down on others is not necessarily a good thing.
Each of their bloodied heads was held in their hands, and these people, to varying degrees, believed that only these heads could prove their martial prowess.
Behind him were the weapons that had been confiscated, and everything else had long been stuffed into his pockets, leaving nothing for the bandits.
Ning Ye nodded heavily. "You did very well, but now I have to tell you, this is not over yet. We may have to fight again."
Wang Wu clasped his fists and said, "We will obey whatever your orders are, no matter what they are."
"Put what you're holding aside for now and rest here for a bit. I'll go get something."
After saying that, Ning Ye turned around and went to the dark place alone, making sure that no one could see him clearly.
The system panel has been kept open, but he hasn't had time to redeem the items for this week yet.
The items in the shop this week have been randomly refreshed.
Ten fine steel swords, exchangeable for one tael of silver.
Ten hardwood spears can be exchanged for 300 copper coins.
One first-aid kit costs 100 coins to exchange.
A pack of Sweet Honey Lollipops costs 10 coins to redeem.
Two civilian-grade compound crossbows (with thirty bolts) can be exchanged for 100 coins.
Ning Ye was quite satisfied with the items that appeared in this refresh. Apart from the lollipop that somehow ended up in the list, everything else could be considered a necessity.
