After dealing with the two most difficult guards, it became much easier. He hid and took down the lone ones.
But good times didn't last long. After Su Fan killed more than twenty, a bandit discovered the bodies.
"Bad news! Enemy attack!"
The bandit who found the bodies immediately shouted.
Su Fan was helpless. Peach Blossom Village was only so big. No matter how well he hid the bodies, the truth would eventually come out.
"Where is the enemy attack?"
The bandit leader gathered all the bandits in the village square.
Everyone looked at each other, confused.
"Boss, I found one of our brothers' bodies here. Someone must have infiltrated our village," the bandit who found the body said.
The leader frowned upon seeing the body. He looked around and realized that quite a few of their brothers were missing.
"Search! He must still be on the mountain!"
The leader shouted angrily.
"Yes!"
Many bandits agreed. Su Fan was among them.
He was wearing a bandit's outfit and had not been discovered.
Su Fan hid among these bandits and pretended to join the search.
"Hey, brother, did you find anything?"
Su Fan searched alone, afraid of being discovered, but someone still came to bother him.
"Cough, cough."
Su Fan coughed twice to disguise his voice.
"I just saw a figure run past over there," Su Fan said, pointing to a corner.
"Over there? I'll go check," the bandit said without suspicion and followed Su Fan towards the corner.
Su Fan followed behind the bandit, quietly looked around, and seeing no one, revealed a wicked smile.
He drew his sword and struck at the other's vital point.
"Hassage!"
Su Fan tidied his appearance and calmly walked out of the corner.
Half an hour later, the bandits gathered in the square again, but this time there were fewer of them, with about forty-odd remaining.
"What's going on? Where are the people?" the leader asked angrily.
Not only could he not find the person after searching everywhere, but a portion of his men were also missing. How could he not be angry?
"Boss, I think something is strange. We've searched the entire mountain and haven't found anyone. Could our mountain be haunted?" a bandit said nervously to the leader.
"I'll haunt your mother! If he's not on the mountain, he must be among you. Everyone, look at the person next to you! Is it a new face!" The leader kicked the subordinate in front of him aside and said to the remaining people.
Su Fan was startled. Did this bandit leader have some brains after all?
"Hey brother, turn around and let me see. You look a bit like a stranger," the bandit next to Su Fan began to suspect him. He had thought Su Fan looked unfamiliar earlier.
"Heh heh."
Su Fan knew he couldn't escape and turned around, revealing a row of big white teeth.
"Boss! I don't know him!" The other person shouted to the leader after discovering Su Fan was a stranger.
"So what if you don't know him? Why are you shouting so loudly!"
Su Fan immediately slashed him, turned, and ran, firing a signal flare to notify Captain Xing.
"Catch him!" The bandit leader immediately ordered his men to pursue Su Fan after spotting him.
Su Fan ran desperately, not wanting to be surrounded by so many people.
"Stop chasing! I don't have any Jizhi Tangjiang!"
Captain Xing, seeing the signal flare from the foot of the mountain, immediately went to inform the strategist and General Wu, who were waiting.
If Su Fan were here, he would definitely complain.
Why didn't they tell the strategist and the others the purpose of the signal flare, and have to relay it through Captain Xing?
"Good, everyone, go up the mountain to suppress the bandits!" General Wu immediately ordered the bandit suppression operation to begin.
More than a hundred people marched up the mountain.
Su Fan was still running for his life. He wasn't running aimlessly, but towards the foot of the mountain, shortening the distance for the strategist and the others to provide support.
"Shoot arrows!"
Seeing that he couldn't catch up to Su Fan, the bandit leader ordered his men to shoot.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Arrows pierced the air towards Su Fan.
Su Fan was startled. There were too many arrows, and he couldn't dodge them all.
-2
-3
-2
-4
-5!
...
In a short while, Su Fan's back was full of arrows, like a porcupine.
The key was that this "porcupine" was still running at an extremely fast speed, looking incredibly comical.
Fortunately, Su Fan had high defense and high health, otherwise, this volley would have sent him home.
"Wait!"
The bandit leader suddenly felt something was wrong.
He silenced everyone and listened carefully.
The small stones on the ground were vibrating slightly.
"Bad news! A large number of people are coming up the mountain! Quickly return to the stronghold to defend!" The bandit leader immediately realized something was wrong and quickly ordered his men to retreat, abandoning the pursuit of Su Fan.
Su Fan was a little confused to find that the pursuers behind him had disappeared.
Soon, Su Fan's confusion disappeared.
A large group of people suddenly appeared around the corner at the foot of the mountain, running up, causing the ground to vibrate slightly.
It turned out that reinforcements had arrived.
"Little brother, what's with you?" Advisor Li asked Su Fan, looking at the "thorns" on his back with confusion.
"Don't talk about it, let's go up the mountain quickly, lest they escape," Su Fan said dismissively.
The bandits, before they could return to the stronghold, were caught up by the suppression force behind them.
"Shoot arrows!"
General Wu ordered the archers to attack the bandits.
The bandit leader had no choice but to stop and fight back. He couldn't leave his back exposed to the enemy.
After several volleys, the bandits suffered heavy casualties. There was still a gap between the bandits and the regular army.
"Cease fire! Attack!" After the remaining few scattered bandits, General Wu ordered to stop shooting.
The effectiveness of arrows was greatly reduced when there were fewer targets.
The remaining bandits were already terrified and fled up the mountain in panic.
These bandits were already defeated soldiers and were quickly captured, except for the bandit leader who escaped.
"Everyone, spread out and search. We must capture the bandit leader, dead or alive!" General Wu ordered the soldiers.
Su Fan's spirits immediately lifted. This was his home ground.
The normal game plot was that Su Fan would fire a signal flare, the main force would surround and suppress the bandits, the bandit leader would escape, and during the search, the protagonist would encounter the bandit leader and defeat him alone.
Su Fan ran towards the back mountain, which was the bandit leader's escape route.
When Su Fan arrived at the back mountain, he didn't see the bandit leader, which made him a little confused.
Could his series of actions have affected the plot development?
Just as Su Fan was wondering, he suddenly heard a slight noise.
It came from a haystack.
Su Fan walked over curiously. Having learned from his previous assassination experience, he didn't get too close.
"Hey, come out, or I'll cut you with my sword?"
Su Fan warned the haystack.
There was a rustling sound from inside the haystack, and the bandit leader crawled out.
"It's you!" The bandit leader glared at Su Fan upon seeing him.
It was this guy who broke into the stronghold, killed his brothers, and caused the complete annihilation of Peach Blossom Village.
"I'll kill you!"
