Chapter 130 The Mysterious Bandit Boss (1/2)
Chapter 130 – The Mysterious Bandit Boss
July 14th, 6 PM.
After a day of marching, the soldiers set down a temporary camp on the plain.
Tong summoned Zhao Yun and other generals into the command tent. He had to inquire about the information about Ganling City, Zhang Yan, and the mysterious person behind the bandits.
Li Feihong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, Bo Cai, and Zhao Yun arrived at the tent within a few minutes. They were also interested in the reason behind the fall of the city.
”Go ahead, Zhao Tian. Tell us what you know about the city.”
”Err. Where do I start?” Zhao Yun was nervous by the stare of all veteran generals and commanders. It was his first time in the army.
”How did the city fall under the control of Zhang Yan? Do you know anything about it?”
Zhao Yun nodded.
”I was there when he attacked the city. It happened in the middle of the night. There were millions of bandits all over the city and attacked the guards.”
Li Feihong and Tong cringed.
'Millions of bandits?'
'This is exaggerating. Is his brain alright?'
Zhao Yun continued. ”Those bandits were mysterious. The soldiers attacked them but they could not land a hit on their body. But the bandits could actually attack the guards. I also tried to fend them off, but all of my strikes went through their body as if cut through thin air.”
”Hold it. You're telling me all your attacks went pass their body, right?”
”Yes.”
”But their weapons could hurt you?”
”Yes.”
Tong and Li Feihong glanced at each other. They guessed that this should be an illusion spell or something similar.
Li Feihong whispered to Tong. ”Was it an illusion?”
”I think so. We're probably up against another otherworlder again.”
”Crap. Why can't they just live in peace? Why are they keep showing in front of us?”
”The year 184 is getting close and the system is encouraging us to kill each other. I think every reincarnators should have started making a move now. We are going to see more of them in the future if we make a contact with famous warlords like Cao Cao or Sun Jian. Let's be careful about those guys.”
”Aye, will do.”
Zhao Yun continued to narrate the story. After the illusion army of bandit overwhelmed the garrison guards and took over the city, they disappeared into thin air, leaving only a thousand bandits behind. Zhang Yan and their mysterious boss were also with them.
Without any protection, the bandits ransacked, ravished, and plundered all civilians inside the city.
Zhao Yun and a few of his friends and volunteer townsmen attempted to fight back, but they were outnumbered. His volunteer group was routed in the end which he managed to scrap his life outside of the city in one piece.
Zhao Yun changed his strategy. He tried to take revenge on Zhang Yan and his boss by assassinating them. He almost succeeded as he managed to thrust his spear into the heart of Zhang Yan's boss.
Yet a strange thing happened.
The body of Zhang Yan's boss transformed into a log with clothes, and he reappeared again on a distance away from Zhao Yun. Because he failed to land the killing blow on the person, Zhao Yun was chased by the bandits.
At this point, Tong and Li Feihong had a solemn expression on their face.
”Transformed into a log… that's a ninja, right?” Tong whispered Li Feihong with a cringed smile.
”Illusion power and that log transforming escape technique, that guy is 100% a ninja.”
”Yeah, a ninja from the U**ha Clan to boot.”
”Do you think he can use Susa*** too?”
”He'd better not. Or we're fOOked.”
Zhang Liao raised his hand to stop Zhao Yun and asked him.
”What about the neighbor lords? Have they tried to reclaim the city?”
Zhao Yun nodded. ”They did. But they suffered the same fate as the city guards. The thousand of bandits multiplied themselves into millions of bandits and overwhelmed all forces with their numbers. None of them can reach the wall of the city.”
”But you can fight them, right? You've survived for so long.”
”… I can only assassinate them after the million men army dispersed. I tried my best to reduce their number or kill their boss, but I always failed.”
”How strong is their leader? Compare it with your strength?” Asked Tong.
Zhao Yun closed his eyes to recollect his memories. The images of the boss' movement appeared in his mind.
