Chapter 179: 179, Kill the Bandit Leader_1

Translator: 549690339

The defense of the [Red Ridge Mountain Bandit Camp]was notably poor. The guards responsible for the night watch were ordinary bandits who didn’t even hold the first rank – many were even sleeping.

As a result, a few ordinary first-timer players like ‘Nuclear Wastewater’ could easily defeat the guards and open the gate of the camp.

This might seem incredible, but it has a certain inevitability to it.

In the past, the defense of this bandit camp was strong, with third-rank strongmen taking turns to watch over the camp at night, keeping a strict vigil.

However, two years ago, the bandit leader Lake, along with some big merchants and nobles of Orleans City, reached an agreement. Lake stopped robbing these affluent merchants and nobles’ caravans, and even gave half of the loot he stole each month to them.

In exchange, these elite merchants and nobles tacitly allowed the bandits led by Lake to exist, enabling them to survive till now.

With the tacit approval of Orleans City, the bandits’ existence no longer faced any threats and no one dared to challenge them, leading their defense consciousness to steadily weaken.

Initially, some third-rank strongmen would reluctantly keep watch at night. Gradually, this digressed to second, then first-rank bandits on watch duty.

At present, not even a first-rank bandit is left, only old and frail commoners guard the camp at night.

This provided a perfect opportunity for the ‘Nuclear Wastewater’ group of five.

Archers like ‘Nuclear Wastewater’ took out the bandit guards on watch in the observation tower in just seconds.

The priest ‘Tritium Treasure’ along with the warrior ‘Godzilla’ were extremely ferocious. These two teamed up to kill four bandit guards and activated the camp’s gate opening mechanism, thereby opening the camp gate.

Seeing the camp gate open, the spirit of the Unicorn Knights outside, charging towards the gate, lifted greatly!

Under Tina’s command, the whole squad of knights charged at full speed and stormed through the camp gate.

While ‘Nuclear Wastewater’ and the other two opened the camp gate, their two other team members weren’t idle either.

At the camp’s back door.

The Druid[Neon Mutant], brandishing his claws, along with the Mage[Neon Nuclear Pollution], swiftly killed three bandit guards and directly pushed open the back door.

The camp’s back door leads to a small path through the mountains, connected to the back hill. Both sides of this path were lined with dense trees.

Leading 1,000 players involved in the campaign, Su Yu came out of the forest in a grand procession, appearing outside the back door of the camp.

He discussed with Tina – while Tina and her knight squad attacked from the front, they would block the back door, not letting a single bandit escape.

Seeing Su Yu, the Mutant and Nuclear Pollution quickly waved: “Boss Ke, over here, over here!”

Both of them were giddy with excitement.

Taking part in such an attention-grabbing battle, moreover playing an extremely important role, made them feel extremely proud!

“You all have worked hard!” Su Yu patted both their shoulders.

Thanks to ‘Nuclear Wastewater’ and the other four, this battle progressed much smoother than they could have hoped for.

Turning to ‘Snow Leopard’, Su Yu said, “Snow Leopard, the command of this battle is yours.”

“Don’t worry,” Snow Leopard grinned and charged into the camp through the back door with the large force of players.

In the largest house at the center of the camp, Bandit Chief Lake seemed to have detected something abnormal in the camp.

He awoke from his dream and sat up in bed.

As a fifth-rank powerhouse, Lake technically didn’t need the sleep.

But the entertainment options in the camp were limited and with nothing to do when he wasn’t sleeping, he still kept the habit of sleeping.

However, the moment he sat up, his expression changed drastically!

Because he sensed a golden figure flying towards his location from the sky.

Zing——

Accompanied by a piercing noise of metal grinding against stone, a huge golden sword light directly struck the roof of his house.

The originally solid roof, just like a piece of tofu, was sliced into halves by the golden sword light.

Lake’s face changed dramatically.

He hurriedly waved his hand, pulling out a blood-red broadsword from the Space Ring.

His blood-red fury emerged from his body, clinging to the blade as he struggled against the sword light, barely preventing harm to the eight or nine women who shared his bed.

“Who are you? Why are you attacking my camp?” Lake had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

He leaped from the bed, flew through the damaged roof, and approached Tina floating midway in the air.

“I am Tina Garcia, the captain of the Unicorn Knight Legion. I represent the ordinary people and small merchants of Orleans City whom you robbed, and I’m here to exterminate your despicable gang of bandits!”

Tina spoke righteously. A golden glow emerged from her body, shining so brightly that she appeared as an intimidating war goddess.

“Unicorn Knight Legion?” Lake looked confused.

Not long ago, he had given many stolen goods to the Windsor family. Why were they at his door now? Were they killing the goose that laid the golden eggs?

And wasn’t Grace Windsor of the Sanctuary the captain of the Unicorn Knight Legion? How had the position changed to the young girl before him?

Lake lived in the mountains, disconnected from the internet, and was unaware of Tina’s rise, as it had happened too recently.

Tina had no desire to waste words with Lake. Lifting her golden two-handed sword, she slashed through the air towards him.

“Shining Flame Slash!” Tina immediately launched her signature skill.

Lake realized that he couldn’t avoid the fight.

“Great Kill All Sides!”

He roared furiously. A blood-red light escaped his body, and he grew bigger in an instant.

He swung his red broadsword, clashing it against Tina’s golden two-handed sword.

Clang!

The sword and knife collided in the sky, causing the entire heavens to tremble.

In the collision, Tina was violently thrown back more than ten meters.

Lake fared slightly better, only being thrown back five meters.

It was clear that in the previous clash, Lake had a slight advantage.

But this wasn’t a duel. There were no rules of conduct here. If she couldn’t beat him, she could call for backup!

Tina looked down, searching for Su Yu’s figure.

But Su Yu had already disappeared underground along a secret tunnel in Lake’s backyard, following Tritium Treasure. He was nowhere to be found on the surface.

Out of options, she called out a different name: “Fiona!”

Having developed an adoration for Tina after their strategic battle simulations, Fiona was always by Tina’s side and was naturally joined in this mission.

“I’m here!”

A beautiful silver figure shot towards the sky from the ground below. It was Fiona.

As Fiona closed in on Lake, she immediately initiated her ultimate skill, Unparalleled Challenge, causing four pale blue “weak points” to emerge around Lake.

Fiona took advantage of Lake’s distraction to launch an Air Break Slash, her single-handed sword striking squarely at one of Lake’s “weak points” on his thigh.

Fiona’s ultimate had a key trait. When she struck a target’s “weak point,” it would inflict significant real damage.

Caught unprepared without his armor, Lake’s anger shield was pierced by Fiona’s thrust, and blood started gushing from his thigh.

And Fiona wasn’t done. She circled Lake, striking each of the four “weak points” in turn.

These four blows not only inflicted substantial real damage but also created a large healing array at the feet of Fiona and Tina, restoring their health, energy, and fury.

Lake was severely injured under Fiona’s onslaught.

Knowing he couldn’t defeat them both in combat, he took advantage of a gap in their attacks, breaking away and fleeing towards the eastern sky.

But Tina and Fiona certainly weren’t going to let a bandit leader of such significance escape.

Under their relentless pursuit and strikes, the heavily injured Lake’s life force rapidly dwindled.

Finally, about a kilometer from the bandit camp, Lake was completely slain under the combined attack of Tina and Fiona.
