Since the system became my girlfriend

A battle was imminent. Hundreds of bandits with red turbans rushed to the vicinity of the mine and began attacking the soldiers of Xuanwu City. Although these soldiers were generally of higher level, their numbers were too few, and although their levels were high, they were not high enough to suppress the enemy.

Outnumbered by one to five, the soldiers of Xuanwu City quickly began to retreat. However, these soldiers were well-trained, and although they were completely suppressed, they covered each other and were able to maintain their formation until they all retreated to the vicinity of the mine.

Although the soldiers of Xuanwu City were at a significant disadvantage, they were not entirely without hope. This was because the town was not far from Juejin Town, and it was currently the town's most prosperous time, with a large number of soldiers stationed there. Once they received the news, they could quickly provide support.

Therefore, the soldiers guarding the mine only need to defend with their backs to the mine. Once reinforcements arrive, these bandits will be no match for them!

But at this moment, an accident happened!

Sansas, who was hiding in the mine, suddenly grabbed a large amount of explosives used for mining from a corner, lit them, and threw them at his companions who had their backs to him!

The soldiers of Xuanwu City were all focused on fighting off the bandits who were charging at them, and none of them expected an attack from behind!

"Boom boom boom boom..." With the loud explosion, more than a dozen soldiers were seriously injured. However, many more soldiers were attracted by the sudden explosion. When they turned around to look, they gave the enemy behind them an opportunity, and then more than twenty more people were killed.

In the blink of an eye, Xuanwu City's soldiers had lost more than a third of their numbers, further widening the gap in numbers between the two sides...

"Kill!" A bandit with a red veil rushed out. He was very strong and cut down a soldier from Xuanwu City in a few moves. Then he led his bandits to charge and kill at will, quickly breaking up the soldiers' formation.

Within minutes, all the Xuanwu City soldiers had been slaughtered!

"Heh heh, kid! You did a good job!" The bandit leader with the red veil came up to Sansas.

"It's alright, just don't forget the benefits I've given you!" Sansas said with a smile, seemingly without any guilt about having just personally caused the deaths of hundreds of his comrades.

"Don't worry, our Brotherhood will never mistreat any of our brothers!" the bandit leader said.

"That's good!" Sansas nodded.

"Brothers, hurry up!" At this moment, the bandit leader waved his hand, and a large number of bandits with red veils rushed into the mine. Immediately afterwards, screams came from inside, obviously the miners hiding in the mine had also been killed.

Half an hour later, a large number of bandits emerged from the mine carrying sacks full of gold. They had looted a large amount of gold and were preparing to leave.

"Hey buddy! Give me a hand!" Sansas called out to the bandit leader.

"What's wrong?" the bandit leader asked.

"Stab me in the back!" Sansas said to the bandit leader.

"You're ruthless, kid!" the bandit leader said, looking Sansas up and down.

“You can’t survive without being ruthless!” Sansas sneered.

"Aren't you afraid I'll just chop you to death with one blow? That would save us a lot of money!" the bandit leader said.

“You won’t. If I’m alive, you’ll have other businesses to do!” Sansas said with a smile.

"Good lad! You've got guts!" The bandit leader laughed loudly, then drew his long sword. At the same time, Sansas also drew his weapon and assumed a fighting stance.

"Thud!" The bandit leader slashed at Sansas's shoulder with his knife, leaving him with a bloody wound. Sansas turned around in the process, and then the bandit leader slashed again, causing Sansas to fall to the ground.

The bandit leader's second slash was extremely vicious, almost reaching the bone. For him, acting naturally had to be as realistic as possible. As for whether Sansas would accidentally die as a result, he didn't care. Anyway, death wouldn't be a loss to him. If this kid could survive by chance, then he would still be useful to him in the future.

Sansas lay in a pool of blood, but a smile played on his lips. He was badly injured, almost to the point of death, but it was precisely because of this serious injury that he could be cleared of suspicion.

Soon, the bandits with red veils withdrew, leaving only corpses inside and outside the mine.

……

The video ends here, the surrounding scenery changes, and we return to the present scene. The soldiers' corpses are long gone, and only gnolls are pacing back and forth in the distance.

Although the footage was somewhat disjointed, Su Rui and Feng Lixi already understood what had happened. This robbery was definitely the result of collusion between Sansas and those bandits.

This guy not only gave the bandits time to rotate the Xuanwu City soldiers, but he also used explosives to send his own comrades to their deaths.

In the end, the bandits stole a large amount of gold, and Sansas survived as he had hoped. Later, reinforcements arrived and rescued him. As the sole survivor of the battle, he was promoted for his bravery.

"That Sansas deserves to die!" Su Rui spat out, saying that someone who betrays his comrades should be torn to pieces!

Unfortunately, Sansas managed to deceive everyone, even Lord Daryl. Not only was his crime not exposed, but he was also rewarded and promoted from a lowly soldier to the governor of Eastsea Town.

From the conversation between Sansas and the bandit leader, Su Rui deduced that those masked men with red scarves must be members of the Moraka Brotherhood, and that Sansas must have been bribed at that time.

Eastsea Town is now basically under the control of the Moraka Brotherhood, and Sansas must have played a significant role in this.

"That crucial piece of evidence is probably used to incriminate Sansas, right?" Su Rui guessed. If it weren't related to the mission, the system would never have let them watch a movie for no reason!

Looking down, Su Rui noticed that the small bottle, which had been fixed to the ground, was now ready to be picked up, so he bent down and picked it up.

"Ding! You have obtained the developing agent!"

With a system notification, Su Rui received the quest item.

Developing agent (white quality, quest item)

Usage: Displays content that is not normally visible.

“Let’s go back and turn in the mission…” Su Rui said to Feng Lixi.

“Okay!” Feng Lixi nodded, and then the two of them turned around and went back to Gold Rush Town.

At the town hall, Su Rui found the sheriff again and handed him the medicine!

"Whoosh!" The sheriff took out the stone tablet called "key evidence" that Su Rui had handed over earlier, and then poured the developing agent on it.
