Chapter 76 From Bandit to Hero
During the communication between the informant and Dongshanhu, Xiao Ming learned the origin of this group of bandits.
The hero who escaped was the chief leader of this bandit force - Luo Rucai.
He was originally a bandit force in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. He led his men to roam in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Wherever he went, he robbed, killed and set fire, and committed all kinds of evil.
His slogan was to rob the rich to help the poor, but in fact he robbed the rich and the poor to help himself.
Of course, he also had his own principles. He would kill corrupt officials, but he would not touch honest officials.
During the wandering process, he accidentally encountered an undead army that was causing chaos in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
This is unbearable! Barbarians dare to be arrogant in the territory of our human race. Resolutely confront them.
Luo Rucai started a war with the undead on the spot and defeated them after a bloody battle. At this time, he showed a heroic spirit.
Luo Rucai was very curious about why the other party could penetrate into the heart of the human race. So he chased after them and found the other end of the two-way portal.
It turned out that it was because of this passage that the undead could easily enter the heartland of the human race.
Luo Rucai felt that he could not leave it alone. So he led his troops to rush through the portal.
At that time, the remnants of the undead army that he defeated happened to be resting at the checkpoint where the deceased was now.
Another big battle, Luo Rucai finally annihilated the enemy.
The enemy's hero and a general fled and disappeared, and two generals were captured.
Although all the enemies were wiped out, Luo Rucai's strength was basically exhausted. Considering that the two-way portal cannot be left unattended.
The terrain here is very good. Luo Rucai decided to set up camp in this valley and garrison for a long time.
So he divided his troops to guard the checkpoint at the entrance of the valley and set up a prison to hold the two captured generals. And built the Turtle Back Mountain City (Village).
In the past, there was only a temple of the dead on the top of the mountain, and there was no city.
In order to gain a long-term foothold, Luo Rucai also used his treasured mountain bandit specialization scroll in the Turtle Back Mountain City.
After that, he had been recuperating and restoring his strength. With such a favorable terrain, Luo Rucai could have regained his glory and made a name for himself in foreign lands.
He didn't want to meet the cheater, the deceased. The whole army was annihilated and the foundation could not be defended.
After listening to Dongshanhu's narration, Xiao Ming sighed. Humans are indeed complex creatures.
Luo Rucai was just a bandit at first, and he could basically be considered a bad guy.
When he encountered the undead alien race, he was able to put the righteousness of the race first. Even if it would lose his most important strength.
Luo Rucai still chose to go to war with the undead, and in order to cut off the threat. He also took the initiative to pursue through the portal.
After completely defeating the enemy, he chose not to return to Daming to restore his strength, but to guard the gate of the race in person.
The flaws did not cover the merits. At this time, Luo Rucai could definitely be called a hero of the human race.
Xiao Ming was full of admiration. He even forgot that his character, the deceased, was an out-and-out undead.
Xiao Ming had read history before, and he knew that most historical figures could not be simply classified as good or bad.
Almost all of them should be viewed in two ways. See both the advantages and disadvantages; see both his merits and his faults.
I didn't expect to meet such a person in the game. If I had known this earlier, maybe Xiao Ming would not choose to go to war with him.
It's a game, at most, it will develop in another direction. Xiao Ming doesn't have the temper to allow others to sleep soundly beside his bed.
If the informant expresses a friendly attitude towards humans, perhaps they can become allies.
Xiao Ming said on the spot that if he meets Luo Rucai again in the future, he will definitely let him go.
Hearing the promise of the informant, Dongshanhu's favorability increased by 10 points to 30-goodwill.
The next thing is simple. Due to the skeleton construction talent, the bone trebuchet made by Xiao Ming was recognized by the system.
Xiao Ming made 4 new trebuchets. He gave one to Dongshanhu, Katagiri Qiyuaner, Zaoye Yihe and himself respectively.
This kind of catapult will only work in siege warfare. At their current level, they can only be equipped with one catapult.
Xiao Ming left Dongshanhu at the checkpoint to guard it. Anyway, he has no mobility at this time.
The dead commander led his army into the valley, opened the prison and rescued the two undead generals imprisoned inside.
These two green elite generals successfully joined the dead commander. They all did not bring any soldiers.
Pingye Taichang: Skeleton archer general, strategic attributes 4, 2, 1, 1.
In addition to the bone body, the racial talent is primary sprint, and the speed of the troops he led is +1.
Professional talents are primary summoning and primary archery.
Zaowu Wuzhe: Black warrior general, strategic attributes 4, 3, 1, 1.
The racial talent is primary defense master: 5% additional bonus for every 5 levels of defense.
Professional talents are primary summoning, primary defense: reduce 5% of the physical attack damage received.
Recruiting these two undead generals triggered a small plot: "The reunion of the seven generals of Jianyue".
They and the former general of the dead, Katagiri Qiyuaner, belonged to the seven generals of Jianyue. That's why it was so easy to join.
Katagiri is the general who escaped in the story told by Dongshanhu. He drifted to the initial map of the dead.
He was attracted by the tavern repaired by Xiao Ming, and was later recruited by Xiao Ming to the dead.
Under the command of the dead, the seven generals of Jianyue gathered three, triggering some consequences:
The favorability of the three undead increased by 10 points; Katagiri's adventure equipment-Jianyue armor set was upgraded to a green elite set.
Later, Pingye and Zaowu's suits were also found in the warehouse of Guibei Mountain City and awarded to them, and they were also upgraded to green.
Of course, they will also be given corresponding weapons. Xiao Ming has a lot.
As for the hero who escaped and their original power situation, they refused to reveal it. Or the favorability is not enough.
Xiao Ming is very interested in the future development of this small plot. But I'm afraid it depends on luck.
After the war, the command power of the deceased was almost full.
This time, two new generals came to split the time.
Give 200 strong crossbow skeleton soldiers to Pingye who knows archery, and give 10 skeleton swordsmen and 1 skeleton cavalry to Zaowu who has strong defense.
The deceased's team only has 71 strong crossbow skeleton soldiers. The command power dropped to 271/430 again.
This is what makes Xiao Ming happy the most. As long as there are enough generals, the combat effectiveness can continue to improve. Until all generals' command power is full.
After rescuing the captives this time, the prison was destroyed and disappeared again. Not even the ruins were left. Xiao Ming was completely unable to repair it.
With a little regret, Xiao Ming occupied or visited all the buildings in the valley.
The exchange can exchange various resources at high prices, but Xiao Ming can't use them for the time being.
The black market can buy treasures at high prices. Xiao Ming entered the black market with hope.
But he found that it was empty and there was nothing. Thinking carefully, it made sense.
This place has been visited by both local undead forces and bandit forces. They are all richer than himself.
Even if there are things, they are sold out. I can only wait and see when they will be restocked.
