The village was in an uproar. Some of the bandits reached for their knives, some tried to close the gate, and others had their legs cramp up and went limp on the spot.

"Damn it, what a mess!"

The bandit leader kicked one of his screaming henchmen to the ground.

The noise in the courtyard suddenly stopped.

"You!" The bandit leader pointed at one of the more astute henchmen.

"Get to the watchtower! Look closely, you bastards, where the hell are they?!"

"The rest of you, get over here! Surround them!"

This leader is indeed quite capable; he stabilized the situation with just a few words.

The bandits, who had been in a chaotic state just moments before, immediately moved closer to him.

Although they still looked fearful, they finally had someone to rely on, and were no longer fighting alone.

Tsk.

Inside the watchtower, Lin Mo clicked his tongue.

In the chaos just now, he took down a few more.

After careful counting, I realized that I had taken down a total of twelve people in this initial ambush.

Lin Mo had a rough idea of ​​the numbers: in the courtyard, including the leader, there were thirteen people left.

The quantity is still a bit too much.

The group of guys were startled awake, their steps still unsteady.

But the leader wasn't an incompetent fool; he quickly organized a team.

It's not so easy for them to rush out and reap the rewards on their own.

Just as Lin Mo was pondering a solution, a series of rapid "thump-thump" sounds came from the wooden ladder.

A bandit was climbing uphill, using both his hands and feet.

Lin Mo squatted on the edge of the watchtower and saw the greasy head through the gaps in the wooden planks.

Just two more steps and you'll be up.

Lin Mo timed it perfectly, and the instant the object appeared above his head, he raised his leg and kicked out fiercely!

He used all his strength and kicked the bandit squarely in the face.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking was sharp and piercing.

"ah--!"

A short, painful scream.

The bandit fell straight down from mid-air.

boom!

The person fell to the ground, their head lolled to the side, and they were motionless.

This commotion immediately attracted the attention of the bandit leader.

He looked up abruptly and saw his subordinate falling; his pupils contracted.

"Over there! On the watchtower!"

Upon seeing this, one of the bandits immediately volunteered, "Brother, I'll go and get him down!"

"Fuck your grandpa!" The bandit leader slapped the man across the face, sending him spinning halfway around.

"Are you fucking drunk? There's only one ladder. Didn't you see how the brothers who just went up got down? Going up there to their deaths?"

The bandit who had been scolded covered his face and dared not utter another word.

The bandit leader reacted swiftly and immediately gave the order.

"You, you, and you! Go to the storeroom and bring out all the kerosene!"

"Smash that watchtower! Let's see if he comes down!"

He then pointed to several other people.

"You guys! Go get the bows and arrows! Shoot the watchtower dead! If that bastard dares to show his face, shoot him into a pincushion!"

The series of orders were carried out in an orderly manner, and the bandits, who had been passively taking the beating, immediately split up and took action.

Hearing the commands from below, Lin Mo, perched on the watchtower, felt a thousand curses running through his mind.

isn't it?

Is it really necessary to be so cunning?!

How could a bandit leader be so clever?

They even know how to use fire and arrows to suppress them?

His command ability is almost on par with that of a junior officer in the government army.

Lin Mo knew very well that once the oil arrived, he would either be burned to death or jump down and be riddled with bullets.

Can't wait.

We must take action first!

He suddenly stood up from the edge of the watchtower, exposing his entire body.

"They've shown themselves! Fire the arrows!"

Some of the bandits cried out in alarm.

But Lin Mo was even faster!

He didn't give the other side a chance to draw their bow.

With a bag of pebbles already prepared in hand, he swung his arm and hurled it at the crowd gathered below!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Countless angular stones hurled into the crowd!

Now, the bandits' huddled formation became their most fatal flaw.

Lin Mo didn't need to aim at all; he could just throw it at the crowd.

"what!"

"My eyes!"

"boom--"

"My legs..."

"puff--"

"My second brother!"

Screams echoed throughout the mountain village.

The dull thud of pebbles hitting flesh and the crisp crack of bones breaking intertwined.

The first few bandits were instantly killed, their heads bleeding profusely, and they collapsed to the ground screaming in agony.

"Get out! Get out now! All of you, get the hell inside!"

The bandit leader shielded his head with his broadsword and roared at the top of his lungs.

A pebble grazed his ear, drawing a string of blood beads, making him wince in pain.

Damn it, what kind of monster is this?! Is this arm strength even human?

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

His response was another, even denser, barrage of pebbles.

"Aaaaaaah!"

Screams erupted again, and several more bandits fell.

The remaining bandits were utterly terrified and scrambled to follow their leader into the largest wooden hut.

"Bang!"

The bandit leader was the last to rush into the house, then turned around and slammed the thick wooden door shut with all his might.

Lin Mo then stopped and took a slight breath.

He peeked into the courtyard and saw the devastation.

One, two, three, four, five...

Five more corpses lay on the ground, and several others with severed limbs were wailing in agony.

In this burst of attacks, Y took down another seven or eight.

Inside the house, including the leader, there were at most six or seven people left.

almost.

Lin Mo didn't linger any longer and slid down the ladder.

He landed steadily and walked expressionlessly toward the several crippled people groaning on the ground.

"puff!"

"puff!"

One foot for each person, sending them on their way.

After doing all this, he clapped his hands, walked a short distance from the closed wooden door, and shouted loudly:

"Come out! Is this all the courage the dignified leader of Black Wind Stronghold has?"

"Hiding indoors like a coward, aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?"

After a moment of silence, the leader's muffled voice came from inside the room.

"Hey you outside! Let's speak frankly."

"Our Black Wind Stronghold has stood firm on Black Wind Mountain for over a decade, relying on the principle of 'reason'!"

"We have no past grievances or recent enemies. I wonder where I have offended you, my friend. Could you please explain?"

Lin Mo's lips curled into a smile.

He held a pebble in his hand, staring at the thick wooden door.

"Okay."

"Open the door first, let's face each other and have a proper talk."

"I'm a person who loves to reason."

"Why don't you come in and talk, brother?"

"Ha, it would be better if you came out and said it!"

Lin Mo wouldn't be foolish enough to rush in; who knows if there's an ambush inside?

Behind the wooden door, there was utter silence.

Lin Mo grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"Fine, you're not coming out, huh?"

"Then I'll have no choice but to... ask you to come out!"

Lin Mo turned around and walked towards the jars of kerosene in the yard.

What was once used to deal with him has now become his ally.

Lin Mo picked up a can, unscrewed the cap, and poured the oil directly onto the wooden house.

Whoosh—!

He poured the pungent kerosene all over the wooden door and the surrounding wooden walls.

Whoosh—!

Another can.

Soon, the front of the wooden house was soaked in oil, exuding a dangerous aura.

"You...you dare!" Inside the house, the bandit leader's voice was trembling.

Lin Mo took out the fire seal.

With a "whoosh," sparks flew up.

He waved the tinderbox in his hand, a smile on his face.

"Do you think I dare?"

boom--!

The wooden door was smashed open from the inside!

A bandit, his eyes bloodshot, roared and charged forward with his knife raised.

Whoosh!

The pebble landed precisely between his eyebrows.

The bandit's momentum didn't stop, but his body fell straight down at Lin Mo's feet.

"Damn it! All of you, attack! Surround him and kill him, don't give him a chance to throw stones!"

The bandit leader roared from behind the door, but he himself shrank back and dared not show his face.

The remaining five bandits dispersed from different directions, brandishing steel knives, and simultaneously pounced on Lin Mo.

Lin Mo advanced instead of retreating.

With a sudden jerk of his wrist, two pebbles slipped from his hand.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The two men on the far left had blood spurting from their foreheads, and collapsed with a muffled groan.

In that instant, three more steel knives were already in front of him.

The blade sliced ​​through the air with a whooshing sound.

They attacked simultaneously from the top, middle, and bottom.

Three steel blades blocked all his escape routes!
