Lin Mo smiled bitterly, then walked slowly toward Lu Dayou.
Lu Dayou had lost both arms, and blood was constantly flowing from the stumps. His face was as pale as paper, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably from the pain.
Seeing Lin Mo approaching, she felt even more terrified.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood and said tremblingly, "I have nothing to say about dying at your hands. But before I die, I want to die knowing the truth."
Lin Mo straightened up and said coldly, "What do you want to know?"
Lu Dayou was already at the end of his strength, his pupils were beginning to dilate, and his breathing was becoming increasingly rapid. "Where did the ignition source come from? Is there an inside agent in the mountain stronghold?"
Lin Mo's lips twitched slightly, and he was momentarily speechless.
After thinking for a few seconds, he uttered a lie that would put the other party at ease: "That's right, there really is an inside man!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Dayou immediately flew into a rage, gritting his teeth as he demanded, "Who is it? Who on earth is it?"
"What do you think?" Lin Mo countered.
"It must be him, that bastard! How vicious of him to do such a thing!" Lu Dayou roared. "I refuse to accept this! Greed Wolf Stronghold is impregnable. If it weren't for an inside man, not even your father, if he were to come back to life, could have breached it!"
Lin Mo shrugged. "Say what you want!"
Although I really want to tell you the secret of the cheat code, the circumstances don't allow it.
Lu Dayou suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, it's fate, it's all fate!"
As he was laughing, his expression suddenly changed, and then he abruptly rolled over.
"Dang!" A dagger fell from his chest. Lu Dayou bit the dagger and stood up abruptly with a somersault.
"Die!" Lu Dayou shouted maniacally, then charged towards Lin Mo.
"Leave it to me!" Lin Mo's lips twitched slightly, and he tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand.
As the sword flashed, a gash appeared on Lu Dayou's body. His pupils dilated, and he collapsed with a thud.
"He was a real man, it's a pity he became a thief!" Looking at Lu Dayou's corpse, Lin Mo sheathed his longsword and sighed.
"Sweep away all the bandits, leave no survivors!" Lin Mo ordered again.
"Yes, my lord!" Xu Chu immediately accepted the order and strode out.
The moonlight, as white as frost, echoed the firelight on the ground, creating a beautiful scene.
~~~
After wiping out all the bandits, Lin Mo ordered all their corpses to be thrown into the fire.
The Greedy Wolf Stronghold had gathered 30,000 bandits. If these corpses were not burned and buried, they would be extremely likely to cause a plague.
At this moment, the system notification sound appeared again.
[Ding! Detection indicates the host has cleared out all bandits near Xichuan City. Reward: "Base points increased by 0.5!"]
[Ding! Detected that the host's kill count has exceeded 10,000. Unlocked the "10,000 Kills" achievement, receiving the reward: 0.5 points added to base score!]
Upon seeing this notification, Lin Mo was extremely excited, and the fatigue from the battle vanished instantly.
Now you can earn 3 points for every minute you sleep.
The more you lie down, the more your body gets used to this lifestyle, and the fewer side effects it brings.
Now, Lin Mo can sleep ten hours a day without any problem.
That means you can earn 1800 points every day.
One point can be exchanged for one soldier, and another point can be spent to upgrade combat power by one level.
That's equivalent to producing 900 troops per day! That's enough for a month, and for a year!
How many troops does the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty have in total?
Of course, this still includes using points to increase combat power.
What if we switch to regular training? That would amount to a troop strength in a year!
You must know, the entire Great Xia Dynasty only has one million soldiers!
Moreover, the rate at which these points accumulate can continue to accelerate!
Excitement gleamed in Lin Mo's eyes, but then he thought, "Here's the problem."
With so many people, what will we eat! Food is a huge problem!
Yao Guangxiao, this task still has to be assigned to you, since you are the renowned Black-Robed Prime Minister!
At the same time, Yao Guangxiao, who was in Xichuan City, suddenly sneezed, "Who's talking about me!"
Pulling his thoughts back, Lin Mo looked at the still-burning Greed Wolf Stronghold. It was clear that he could not set up camp there again tonight, so he decided to lead his troops away.
Just then, Qin Zhixing strode over and said, "Your Highness, I have something to report!"
"Speak!"
Qin Zhixing cautiously looked around, then leaned close to Lin Mo's ear and said, "Your Highness, there is a secret room in this Greedy Wolf Stronghold!"
"Oh?" Lin Mo immediately became interested. "Go on!"
"Greedy Wolf Fortress was built by the chieftain of Shu and was also the chieftain's residence," Qin Zhixing said. "And that secret room was used by the chieftain to store rare treasures."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes lit up. "Where is the secret room? How did you know?"
"My subordinate used to be a bandit, and after learning this information, he secretly sent people to investigate!"
As Qin Zhixing spoke, he winked at Lin Mo, who immediately understood.
Of course, the fewer people who know about this, the better. "Go and call Xu Chu and Zhao Zhen here."
"Yes, sir!"
Then, Lin Mo led the three of them to the secret chamber.
Braving the heatwave, we passed the burning hall, ran down the stairs, crossed a secluded courtyard, rounded a corner, climbed over a wall, and squeezed through a low, narrow window…
Finally, they arrived at a pitch-black cellar where it was impossible to see their own hand in front of their face.
At this moment, Zhao Zhen suddenly became alert, "Your Highness, be careful, it might be a trap!"
He had reason to be suspicious, since Qin Zhixing was previously the bandit leader of Shulong Mountain. Perhaps the secret room was a ruse to lure Lin Mo here to assassinate him.
Lin Mo smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, I believe in him!"
