Chapter 80 Wait, why isn't this battle over yet?
"Holy crap, these rats have become sentient!"
"Shut up! Don't offend the Grey Fairy!"
When they saw several large rats wearing heavy armor and carrying big bags suddenly dart out from the hillside above, even though the bandits vaguely guessed that the rats were enemies, they still felt a sense of awe.
There was no other way. After all, the legend of the Five Immortals of Guandong was deeply ingrained in people's hearts. Unless absolutely necessary, they really didn't want to offend these mysterious things. Who knew what special abilities these spirits had?
But just as the bandits of the Ge family army were secretly praying that these rats would show mercy, a series of dimensional stone bombs suddenly fell from above, instantly engulfing their ranks.
Compared to the devastating thunderbolts, which have a greater deterrent effect than a lethal one, the dimensional stone bombs in the hands of these rats are the real weapons of destruction.
As a green flame lit up, a large number of Ge family cavalrymen, who were stuck at the mountain pass and unable to advance or retreat, fell instantly. The remaining Ge family cavalrymen hurriedly crawled under the bellies of their horses, trying to use the warhorses and the corpses on the ground to provide some cover for themselves.
These things weren't entirely useless; they did block a lot of shrapnel. But the ratmen were on high ground, constantly throwing bombs down at them. Even if they buried themselves with their corpses, they would eventually be blown to bits!
"Heaven has forsaken me! Heaven has forsaken me!"
Watching his familiar subordinates become mangled corpses one by one, while bombs continued to fall from above, Ge Shouye, severely wounded and covered in blood, collapsed amidst the mountain of corpses and couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.
He considered himself a hero, but he never imagined that the Ge family army, which had been so powerful in Northeast China, would end up like this!
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. When the Luo family army attacked, he should have quickly led his cavalry away!
He was clearly the one who could leave this place most easily and whose escape would have the least impact, but in the end, he was the first to suffer a complete annihilation. The entire Ge family army probably didn't even leave a single survivor, which made him regret it to the core.
But there's no going back in life. A dimensional stone bomb slammed into his head and exploded, killing the bandit leader who had led his cavalry across the region without leaving a trace.
"Damn it!"
Black Whirlwind, the chief bandit leader of Erlong Mountain, watched this scene with wide eyes and was immediately shaken to his core.
Although his relationship with the other two major bandit groups wasn't good, or rather, it would be a miracle if their relationship were harmonious.
However, after fighting for so long, none of the three families could defeat the others. But who could have imagined that a Luo family army would suddenly appear out of nowhere and wipe out two bandit leaders in an instant?
The thought of Tie Liancheng and Ge Shouye's tragic deaths, which had just occurred before his eyes, filled Hei Xuanfeng with dread. Amidst the shared sorrow of their deaths, his courage vanished rapidly.
Seeing that Luo's army was still pressing forward, Black Whirlwind suddenly roared at the top of his lungs, "Luo, stop! I'm willing to surrender!"
"We see each other all the time, do you really have to wipe us out to be satisfied?"
Standing at the back of the group, Rock heard Black Whirlwind yelling and shouting in the distance, and a cold smile crept onto his lips.
Haha, what on earth is this idiot spouting?
Having fought to this extent, what right does he have to surrender?
Or rather, why did Rock accept his surrender?
Even though Black Whirlwind had already witnessed the brutality of the Luo family army, he still harbored a sliver of hope.
He always felt that Erlongshan had a large and powerful force, and that Rock might not be willing to fight to the death with his men. He felt that he was at least a big shot and should have the right to bargain with Rock.
Seeing that there was still no response from Luo's army, Black Whirlwind suddenly roared again, "You surnamed Luo, as long as you spare my life, I'll hand over ten thousand taels of silver!"
"Besides me, no one knows exactly how much money I've hidden away. If your Luo family army doesn't want this money to go down the drain, then you'd better stop right now!"
Hearing this, Rock nodded, then said to the soldier in front of him, "Did you hear that? This guy seems to have a lot of potential. Take him alive, don't kill him yet!"
The other soldiers nodded and continued firing intently forward, though they subtly avoided shooting in the direction where Black Whirlwind was standing, for fear of accidentally killing him.
When Black Whirlwind saw that the Luo family army didn't react even after hearing his words, his heart sank completely.
He really couldn't understand why Luo Ke couldn't coexist peacefully with his group of bandits. Had these bandits offended Luo's army somewhere in the past?
Black Whirlwind was completely unaware that if Rock wanted to expand his system's population quota, he had to increase local stability and find a way to win people's hearts. The existence of these bandits just happened to provide him with an opportunity.
Just like now, Rock didn't pay too much; he just targeted bandits everywhere, but he already had an excellent reputation among the villagers, and even people far away had heard of his great name, Commander Luo.
In addition, Rock's system will have a battle settlement after the battle is over.
He didn't know what index was used to calculate the battle results, but he didn't want to let a bunch of bandits go because of some unreasonable soft-heartedness, which would reduce his own profits.
Considering all this, Rock had no reason to spare the bandits' lives. At most, he would capture a few alive and interrogate them later to find out where they hid their secret stash of money.
Seeing that the Luo family army was leaving him no way out, Black Whirlwind went berserk and ordered his bandits to fight to the death.
As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered. The other bandits, seeing that Luo's army absolutely refused to accept their surrender, had no choice but to grit their teeth and fight back. One bandit after another roared and charged toward Luo's army, but no matter which direction they charged, they could not break through.
If we rush towards the mountain pass, the incoming firepower might be relatively weaker, but the narrow pass is now almost completely filled with corpses.
Rushing in that direction at this moment would be a certain death, especially since there were even gray fairies on the mountain who could make bombs, throwing demonic fire bombs down, which was even more frightening.
However, launching an attack in the other direction, the way they came from, would also be ineffective.
The Luo family army over there has a full 500 musketeers!
A total of 500 foreign guns opened fire in succession among the well-trained soldiers, and the hail of bullets was enough to stop any bandits from advancing.
If they had tens of thousands of people, they might be able to use their numerical advantage to force their way over there, but they only had a few hundred people in total. How could they possibly charge over there?
Even when the bandits tried to retaliate with their homemade guns, it was to no avail. Apart from a few soldiers being accidentally wounded by bullets fired by the bandits, the entire team suffered virtually no losses.
In the end, the entire battlefield was littered with corpses, with bandits lying dead everywhere.
At this moment, the only bandits still standing, untouched by the fierce firepower, were Black Whirlwind and his last few close followers.
Faced with these bandits who were almost scared out of their wits, Rock simply waved his hand, and the Kalonburg greatsword warriors, who had been eager to fight, rushed forward and easily pinned the guys to the ground, leaving them with no power to fight back.
Of course, the leader of Erlong Mountain, Black Whirlwind, is also quite a character. He seems to be a master of Ming Jin, and his strength is not bad.
But when so many of Rock's greatsword warriors surrounded him and launched an attack, it made no difference that even if that guy was a master of Ming Jin.
He only put up a brief resistance before being knocked down on the spot by several giant swordsmen who rushed at him. They then quickly severed his tendons, leaving him crippled.
"Reporting, Commander, we have successfully captured Black Whirlwind alive!"
Rock nodded in satisfaction and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, very good. Tie this guy up and take him back for slow interrogation. Didn't he just say he was very rich outside?"
"I want to see just how much hidden money this guy has, and how much of it will actually benefit me."
Hearing Luo Ke's words, Black Whirlwind, whose tendons and limbs were already severed, lay on the ground, convulsing and grimacing, while cursing with red eyes, "Luo, you beast! You've done so many evil deeds, you'll surely perish! You'll get your retribution!"
Oh my, that really made Rock laugh!
How ridiculous is it that a bandit leader like him is talking to me about retribution?
If there truly is retribution in this world, wouldn't that mean that Rock is the retribution for the many injustices committed by this bandit leader?
He casually waved his hand, ordering his soldiers to drag the guy away. He had no interest in listening to this loser's wailing. Just as Rock was about to check the system interface to see how much reward he had earned in this battle, he suddenly noticed something strange.
"Wait a minute, what's going on? Could my system be bugged?"
"Shouldn't there be a battle results screen? Why hasn't it popped up yet after all this time?"
Rock looked at the system and couldn't help but ask in bewilderment. After asking several times, his system suddenly popped up a window displaying:
[We apologize, player, but this battle is not yet completely over. You will only be able to see the battle results after the entire battle has ended and you have achieved final victory!]
Wait, the battle isn't over yet. Where are there still enemies?
Rock stroked his chin, deep in thought, when suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Wait! Quickly send troops to the rear! There's another road behind this gold mine! Enemies are coming up from behind!"
