Chapter 65 - Eldest Brother, Uncle, don't kill me, I'll give you whatever you want
"Kill..."
The overwhelming shouts of slaughter woke many from their sleep in the bandit camp.
Oliver Sheng led his army, charging into the camp and unleashing a massacre.
Many new recruits followed behind the veterans, slaying enemies. Their hands trembled as they gripped their swords, seeing blood for the first time. Just a month or two ago, many of them were ordinary common people who could barely kill a chicken, let alone a person.
"Enemy attack! The officers are attacking!" a bandit shouted in terror.
Many bandits, not even having time to put on their shoes, grabbed their swords and weapons to face the invading army.
Oliver Sheng led his troops, targeting only martial artists and above, leaving the rest to his soldiers. He was here to plunder and to train his troops.
His soldiers, divided into groups of ten led by a platoon leader, formed the Mandarin Duck Formation to deal with the charging bandits. Yes, Oliver had brought the Mandarin Duck Formation to this world. He intended to train his soldiers not only as heavily armored cavalry but also as invincible infantry.
In daily training, it didn't seem much, but now, as the soldiers formed the Mandarin Duck Formation, the bandits couldn't even get close. Two shield-bearers held swords in front, two soldiers wielded wolf spears to disrupt the enemy's vision, and spearmen stood behind, commanded by the platoon leader. The bandits charging forward were continuously slain.
Oliver specifically targeted the stronger bandits, while his soldiers, using the Mandarin Duck Formation, were invincible.
As more bandits woke up, more and more of them came armed with swords, spears, and clubs.
This bandit camp had over ten thousand bandits, quite a number.
"Kill them! How dare they attack our Tiger Roar Camp? They must have a death wish!" a Martial Master-level leader arrogantly shouted, not taking Oliver's thousand men seriously at all.
"Brothers, kill! Kill these damn government soldiers!"
Many bandits, furious at being disturbed so early in the morning, charged with great anger.
"Capture the government officers, and you'll be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."
The bandit leaders were extremely arrogant. They had always been the ones attacking government troops, who usually avoided them. Now, the government troops dared to attack their camp, it was like lighting a lamp in a toilet—seeking death.
Oliver saw the Martial Master-level bandits and flicked his fingers, shooting a stream of True Qi that pierced through their heads like the Six Meridians Divine Sword, killing them instantly.
Over a dozen Martial Master leaders were killed by Oliver's True Qi, yet the bandits continued to charge mindlessly, without any formation, truly a bunch of ragtag bandits.
Oliver didn't spare any martial artists among the bandits, as they were all Kill Points to him.
With Oliver overseeing the battle, continuously killing the stronger bandits and leaving the weaker ones for his soldiers to practice on, his troops suffered no casualties using the Mandarin Duck Formation.
The soldiers looked at Oliver's back with even more admiration. This was the new formation their general had created, and its power was terrifying.
With equal strength, the enemy could only be slaughtered.
"Kill..."
The deafening shouts of slaughter woke the leaders of the bandit camp.
"What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?" roared Wei Hu, the head of the Tiger Roar Camp.
The woman beside him, barely clothed, looked dazed and terrified, clearly having been abused beyond recognition.
A lackey guarding the door quickly responded.
"Boss, there's an army attacking the camp. The brothers are fighting them off."
Wei Hu was shocked. An army attacking their camp? Which government troops were so bold, with the courage of a bear and the heart of a leopard?
He immediately got up, revealing his naked body, which scared the woman beside him even more, driving her further into madness.
Wei Hu didn't care, as she was just a tool for his desires. He put on his clothes and walked out.
"Boss," the lackey greeted respectfully, bowing.
"Let's go see which government troops dare to cause trouble in my Tiger Roar Camp. I'll teach them a lesson," Wei Hu said arrogantly, as if he were the rightful authority.
To Wei Hu, as long as it wasn't the provincial army, he had nothing to fear. His superiors hadn't informed him of any military operations by the provincial army.
Against ordinary county and prefecture troops, he had no fear at all.
With a group of lackeys, Wei Hu walked out with great swagger.
"Eldest Brother!"
Li Liang, the third leader of the Tiger Roar Camp, ran over with his men to join Wei Hu.
"Third Brother!" Wei Hu nodded at Li Liang.
"Let's go see who dares to cause trouble in our Tiger Roar Camp. I'll make them pay."
Wei Hu and Li Liang, with over a thousand men, marched forward.
"Stop!"
Wei Hu saw Oliver Sheng kill the seventh leader, who was at the early Acquired stage, with a single slap and shouted in anger.
Oliver killed the seventh leader who dared to charge at him and then saw two more leaders approaching.
One was at the early Innate stage, with a thick aura, seemingly close to breaking through to the mid-Innate stage.
The other was at the Postnatal Realm at Great Perfection.
These bandits were indeed strong, no wonder they had been able to dominate for so many years without the authorities being able to do anything about them.
Without an Innate expert leading an army of thirty thousand, it would be difficult to deal with these formidable bandits.
Unfortunately for them, Oliver had set his sights on them.
"You little bastard, didn't you hear me tell you to stop? Are you deaf?" Wei Hu shouted angrily at Oliver, his Innate True Qi swirling around him.
Oliver's gaze turned cold as he looked at Wei Hu like a dead man.
This was the first time someone had dared to insult him like this.
"You little bastard, you think you're tough, bringing a thousand men to attack my camp?" Wei Hu's eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Oliver, knowing he was the leader of these government troops.
As long as he killed Oliver, these government troops would be at his mercy.
"Kneel and beg for mercy, and maybe your grandpa will spare your life," Wei Hu laughed arrogantly, not taking Oliver seriously at all.
"Impudent!"
Some soldiers shouted angrily. This bandit was so arrogant, daring to insult their general.
Oliver was thoroughly enraged. This man had successfully angered him.
No longer suppressing his aura, Oliver's presence exploded, overwhelming like the might of the heavens. He stepped forward, throwing a punch at Wei Hu.
The punch was like a blazing sun, terrifying and unmatched.
Wei Hu's expression changed drastically. He had wanted to taunt Oliver more, but now he swallowed his words.
Where did this monster come from? So young, yet already an Innate expert. Could he have a powerful background?
But Wei Hu was no pushover. He was also an Innate expert. Who was stronger would be decided in battle.
"No wonder you're confident. Turns out you're an Innate expert. But even so, my Tiger Roar Camp is not a place for you to be arrogant."
"Brothers, kill these government troops," Wei Hu shouted, charging at Oliver.
"Boom!"
Wei Hu clashed with Oliver, and his arm instantly shattered, sending him flying.
"Ah..."
The terrifying power shattered his arm and dispersed his Innate True Qi.
This sudden turn of events stunned the bandits.
Their usually invincible leader was sent flying by a single punch from the young man.
They couldn't believe their eyes.
Wei Hu was terrified. Had he encountered a Grandmaster?
In a panic, he gathered his True Qi and tried to flee. Nothing was more important than his life. His brothers could die; he couldn't care less.
He could always find new followers. There were plenty of lackeys around.
Ignoring the pain in his shattered arm, Wei Hu ran.
"Bang!"
Oliver wouldn't let this arrogant bandit escape. He leaped forward, kicked Wei Hu to the ground, and then stomped on his dantian, crippling his cultivation.
"Pu!"
Wei Hu spat out blood, his eyes filled with despair.
Seeing the terrifying killing intent in Oliver's eyes, he realized he had provoked a demon.
How many people had this man killed to have such a terrifying aura?
All the bandits stopped attacking, standing in shock.
Oliver looked at the weakened Wei Hu, his eyes cold. He stomped on Wei Hu's leg, shattering it.
"Scream. Weren't you just shouting?"
"Ah..."
Wei Hu screamed in pain, his body trembling with fear and agony, completely losing his earlier arrogance.
"Eldest Brother, please don't kill me. I'll give you whatever you want," Wei Hu pleaded, trembling as he looked at the cold killing intent in Oliver's eyes.
