C32 (1/2)
The battle was over, and Du Yu was left to lead the troops to hunt down the remaining thieves and to deal with the battlefield and the wounded.
Zuo Ye came to a small stream and cleaned the blood on his Warrior Energy Card before he went ashore again to disperse the Warrior Power Card.
After dispersing the Warrior Power Training Card, Zhou Tian Sheng, whose face was covered in blood, carried a unconscious old mage in his seventies and walked up to Zuo Ye.
”Mr. Zuo!” This is a fire mage of the seventh rank, ”Zhou Tiancheng said.” He should be of use to you, so I didn't kill him and brought him here.
”Well done!” Zuo Ye looked at the old mage in satisfaction and said, ”Oh right, bring him with me. I'll go find a place to absorb him.”
”Yes sir!”
In this battle, hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded, most of them in the charge.
On the other hand, almost a thousand Thieves had died, and three or four hundred had been captured alive or surrendered. Additionally, in the lairs of the thieves on the mountaintop, Du Yu and the others found dozens of women from normal families who were captured by the thieves for their usual pleasures, as well as dozens of ordinary people who were also caught by the thieves for their labour, house building, and cleaning — these women all had faces of confusion. The men were all scrawny and skinny, and their souls were also extremely weak, to the point that they were close to death.
The main hall of the thieves was heavily guarded by Du Yu. There were only two people in the hall: Zuo Ye and Zhou Tiancheng. After absorbing and digesting the soul of the fire mage of the seventh rank, Zuo Ye immediately closed his eyes and his entire body was suffused with a hazy glow.
After a long time, Zuo Ye opened his eyes again.
Mages are far more powerful than warriors in terms of spiritual force, but they are also much purer, ”Zuo Ye slowly said after opening his eyes,” The experience of this Level 7 Mage is also not bad, he actually came from the Holy Union. However, because he secretly learned a forbidden technique in the Holy Church and killed the pursuers of the Holy Church, he was forced to come here and become a thief. ”My spiritual power has already reached the ninth level, but it's still not enough. I still need to absorb more to increase it. Zhou Tian Cheng, go ask Du Yu to send in those Thieves who were knocked out.”
”Yes sir!” Once the cycle was set up, he would do as he was ordered.
• • • When Zuo Ye stepped out of the bandit's meeting hall again, Du Yu, who was at level 7 and was guarding the door, immediately noticed something amiss. Previously, when Zuo Ye walked in, he gave off a very friendly feeling, but when the more than three hundred thieves and captives brought in and brought out corpses, it made Du Yu feel a kind of fear towards this kind person. Now, Zuo Ye gave off an extremely dangerous feeling; Zuo Ye didn't emit any kind of aura; however, Du Yu could feel that Zuo Ye was very dangerous based on his natural instincts and level 7 strength alone.
This situation had happened not long ago on Zhou Tiancheng. At the same time, Zhou Tiancheng still gave off an incomparably dangerous aura, but as Zhou Tiancheng's trusted aide, Du Yu cleverly chose to ignore him.
”Company Leader Du!” Zuo Ye said to Du Yu in an unsatisfied tone, ”You still have the Demon Dragon Bandit Group here, you know the stronghold, right?”
”Yes!” Du Yu replied honestly. However, he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding from the bottom of his heart.
”Alright then!” Immediately gather the troops and annihilate the demonic dragon's bandit group! ” Zuo Ye said in an unquestionable tone.
”But we just exterminated the Triple Light Bandit Group,” Du Yu said with a frown. ”The entire army is exhausted from this battle, and there are also hundreds of casualties …”
”Didn't I tell you what Mr. Zuo said?” Zhou Tiancheng said angrily when he saw that Du Yu actually questioned Zuo Ye's words.
”Yes!” I will go gather the troops now! ” Du Yu could question these words, but Du Yu did not dare, and would not question Zhou Tiancheng's words. Even when he was facing the beastmen Zhou Tiancheng had Du Yu stay behind to block the beastmen, to put it bluntly, Du Yu would still be courting death.
From the looks of it, Du Yu's army was also very well-trained, and this army was also an extremely qualified one. General, regardless of whether it is the exhausted soldiers or officers from a fierce battle, or the wounded soldiers who still had fighting strength, they all immediately gathered together, and at the same time, Du Yu ordered a portion of the heavily injured soldiers to stay behind to protect the wounded soldiers and clear the battlefield. The rest of the soldiers who went to exterminate the Demon Dragon's Thief Group, although they did not understand it, they still started moving out immediately without any complaints or slackening.
Du Yu was originally an ordinary commoner born soldier, but because of his fighting prowess and exceptional leadership skills, he became a low-level officer. When he met Zhou Tiancheng, he saw that Zhou Tiancheng was a genius, so he promoted Du Yu step by step. Then, he gave Du Yu many military manuals, basic training manuals, and even some pills to increase his strength. It could be said that the fact that Du Yu had the strength to command the First Army and the Seventh Order today was entirely thanks to Zhou Tiancheng. Therefore, Du Yu was carrying out Zhou Tiancheng's orders without end.
Du Yu was indeed very talented in military matters. An army completely listened to his orders without the slightest bit of disobedience or negligence. This was undoubtedly the best type of assurance.
Of the three thousand people in the army, after losing hundreds, only about two thousand remained.
Du Yu brought these more than 2000 people and sprinted all the way to the demon dragon bandit group's stronghold. After reaching the stronghold, when Du Yu brought these more than 2000 people to the demon dragon bandit group's stronghold, all of the soldiers of the left wing were drenched in sweat and extremely exhausted.
As Du Yu let the army go into the forest to rest, he sent out several sentries to take control of the surrounding environment. At the same time, he also ensured that his side was not discovered by the Demon Dragon's bandit group.
Two hours later, Zuo Ye and Zhou Tiancheng brought a team of elites to attack the Demon Dragon Bandits.
