Dis did not depart immediately.

He spent two days organizing the troop.

Mainly dragging the drunk brothers from the women's beds.

Men who have played with women cannot go to the battlefield immediately, or their legs will be weak and they'll drag down the team.

So Dis had to wake them up in advance and allow two days to recover.

Leaving fifteen men to guard Chaotic Stone Village, he set out with a mighty force of one hundred and seventeen men.

After two days of traveling, the team stepped into the territory of Black Pine Ridge.

"Where's the grain warehouse you mentioned?"

Dis rode on a horse, holding Eilo with tied hands, asking impatiently.

"Still ahead, when you see the wheat fields, it's almost there."

Eilo pointed into the distance, then changed his tone,

"But you can't just go in broad daylight like this. The Lord is no fool."

"That's none of your concern."

Dis glared at Eilo and said no more.

But he had to admit, Eilo was right.

Dis immediately ordered the entire Blade Brotherhood to stop advancing and hide in a hilly area to eat and rest.

Only when night fell did Dis continue with the team.

Soon, they saw fields of harvested wheat.

"Behind the wheat fields on the hillside, there is a big grain warehouse hidden in the woods."

Eilo no longer hid the truth and said, "But, sir, you should be careful, there are twenty or thirty guards there."

"Twenty or thirty?"

Dis sneered, and the little leader beside him also laughed quietly.

"I have more than a hundred men here, and you're afraid of those twenty or thirty?"

Although Dis's men weren't well-organized, thirty-three of them wore chain armor.

This was the capital he had built up over five years as a robber.

"I'm telling you, even if there were a hundred men at that grain warehouse, I'd still have it!"

Although Dis spoke confidently, he still sent three scouts to gather information.

Dis was not a reckless fool; otherwise, he wouldn't have successfully raided from the Frozen Valley.

It wasn't long before the scouts returned with a report: "Boss, there really is a big grain warehouse!"

"There's a fence around it, and it's surrounded by thatch huts!"

"And there are patrols. We didn't dare to get too close, but it definitely looks like a grain warehouse!"

The scouts' words immediately reassured Dis.

Dis licked his lips, eyes gleaming.

With three more thousand pounds of grain, he could support dozens more men!

"Boss, should we kill this kid?"

A robber whispered to Dis.

The "kid" in the robber's mouth was Eilo.

The warehouse had been confirmed, and Eilo was no longer useful.

"What's the rush?"

Dis glanced sideways at his subordinate, "His hands are tied, are you really afraid he'd burn the warehouse?"

"We'll talk after we get the grain."

Dis walked over to Eilo, patted him on the shoulder, and grinned: "You did a good job, I will reward you."

"No, no need, just save my wife and daughter!" Eilo said excitedly.

Dis didn't reply, he turned and waved to his men.

"Let's move out!"

The night was thick, like a heavy curtain.

Under the cover of darkness, Dis led his brothers slowly towards the grain warehouse.

The warehouse was on the hillside, surrounded by dense forests.

Cavalry couldn't be utilized inside, so Dis left five men to guard the horses on the outskirts, then sneaked into the woods.

Unlike those ragtag Bandit Groups, Dis had some military training.

He didn't charge recklessly; he quietly and stealthily approached.

And Dis occasionally sent scouts ahead to investigate the situation, using the cover of night and the forest to draw near silently.

Soon, Dis saw the light of torches.

He waved his hand and instructed in a low voice, "Second and Third, go take out the guards."

The two agile subordinates nodded and quickly sneaked over.

In the distance, a few guards were dozing under a distant hut, snoring slightly.

Second and Third exchanged glances without alarming anyone, quietly unlocked and gently pushed the gate open.

Seeing this, Dis could no longer contain himself and excitedly ordered loudly:

"Leave no one behind, take everything!"

"Get the grain!"

The robbers could no longer hold back and charged with a roar, their voices full of greed.

Like a flood pouring into the grain warehouse, the robbers instantly awakened the guards!

"Enemy attack!"

The guards shouted and turned to flee up the hill!

"Haha, what a bunch of cowards!"

"The Lord raises nothing but cowards!"

The robbers laughed loudly, not chasing them but directly rushing to the grain piles covered by tarps under the huts!

"Grain, here I come!"

A robber excitedly pulled off the tarp, grabbed a bag, turned, and ran!

The loosely tied bag suddenly opened, and the contents scattered all over the ground!

"This isn't right!"

The robber shouted: "This is sand!"

The robbers were instantly stunned and quickly opened the bags around them!

"This is sand, isn't it!"

"This is pine needles!"

"There's no food at all!"

"Boss! There's nothing here!"

"What's going on?"

Dis suddenly froze, "Where is Eilo?"

"He... he's gone!" the subordinate shouted in panic.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him?"

It's over!

Dis's mind was instantly buzzing, exploding in a flash!

"It's a trap!"

Dis immediately realized,

"Retreat quickly!"

However, by the time Dis reacted, it was too late.

Just as he finished speaking, a sharp whistling sound descended from the sky!

Before he could look up, spears rained down like a downpour!

"Ah!"

A bandit was pinned to the ground by a spear, blood splattering!

Followed quickly by the second, third...

In the blink of an eye, about ten had fallen!

"It's a trap! Take cover!"

Dis was completely panicked, shouting loudly.

Several of the Brotherhood's small leaders reacted quickly, rolling to hide behind the shacks.

But the other bandits were like scattered sand, running around like headless flies in terror.

Screams and shouts echoed in unison.

The bandits at the entrance wanted to flee, but didn't dare to show their faces!

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Heavy footsteps, like hammers, gradually approached, pounding on the hearts of all the bandits.

Dis hurriedly looked outside, seeing a group of soldiers holding square shields forming a battle formation, closing in step by step.

This squad of soldiers completely blocked the Blade Brotherhood's escape route!

"Retreat to the mountaintop!"

Dis shouted, leading the charge to the top of the mountain.

Barbed fences formed on both sides, the mountain top was their only escape route.

The small leaders followed closely, and the other bandits hurriedly caught up.

But before they ran a few steps, the whistling sound came again!

Familiar spears rained down again from the sky, like the grim reaper's scythe harvesting the bandits' lives.

From above, countless spears were hurled down, like the grim reaper's scythe.

The bandits at the front were instantly pinned to the ground!

Before Dis even saw the enemy, thirty or forty men were already lost!

He glared with blood-red eyes, gritting his teeth, and shouted loudly, "Retreat back!"

Dis now understood, the enemy wanted to trap them here completely!

...

...

"I love ambushes so much!"

On the high platform on the mountain top, Luo De overlooked the battle below.

He felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Compared to daring raids, he preferred this kind of ambush.

— prepare the trap, set the bait, wait for the enemy to enter, then tighten the noose.

This way, he could effortlessly capture them all in one go.

Luo De hated losses and hated putting his soldiers under grass mats.

This kind of ambush minimized Luo De's losses!

Commanding this kind of battle was even more thrilling to Luo De than meeting a beauty!

Just like now, before the wild spear throwers' one hundred and twenty long spears were exhausted, the enemy had already settled down.

Moreover, Luo De had prepared forty extra for them, which now seemed unnecessary.

The enemy had already learned their lesson, staying obediently in the designated central area Luo De had chosen for them.

Now, if Luo De waved his hand, Frost Leaf Town's soldiers could slaughter them like dogs.

Of course, that's not Luo De's aim.

So the battlefield froze, like water under the eaves in winter.

At this moment, Rein walked quickly to Luo De, bowing and reporting, "Lord, all the bandits guarding the warhorses have been shot, all thirty-six horses are now ours!"

"Well done!"

Luo De patted his shoulder, nodding in satisfaction.

He turned his head to see Eilo standing beside him, head lowered, face full of tension.

"You did well too, I'm very satisfied."

Luo De glanced at him, his tone calm but authoritative.

"Rest assured, I will fulfill my promise to you, your daughter will not be a slave in the future."

"Keep working for me, and your future will be promising."

Eilo, who had shown courage and cleverness to complete the task, was worth Luo De's attention.

Eilo suddenly looked up, eyes full of ecstasy,

"Thank you for your kindness, noble Lord Luo De!"

He knelt down with a sound, his voice trembling.

The slaves in Frost Leaf Town lived so well, how much better would it be for a free man?

Luo De waved his hand for him to rise, then looked towards Durant,

"Come on, it's time to get down to business."
