Mount & Blade: Rise from Impoverished Tenant Farmer

When Luo Xu reached the side of the cave entrance, he didn't act immediately. He pressed his back against the cave wall and glanced inside.

Three robbers were sitting around a fire playing cards, about ten meters away from the cave entrance.

After confirming that they wouldn't notice anything unusual at the cave entrance, Luo Xu gripped his dagger tightly.

He thrust his full strength into the bandit's heart at the cave entrance, while simultaneously covering the bandit's mouth and nose with his left hand.

The blade was completely submerged, and Luo Xu then twisted the hilt hard.

The robber was instantly jolted awake, but the next moment his body went limp.

Luo Xu gently leaned the body against the stone wall, then pressed the back of its head against the indentation in the wall, making the body look exactly as it had been sleeping.

He glanced back; the three sentries hadn't noticed him.

Luo Xu quickly returned the way he came and hid behind the sentry on the left.

The moment the three sentries turned their backs, he strode forward and covered the mouth of the sentry on the left from behind.

The dagger pierced the heart from behind, and the sentry twitched once before ceasing to struggle.

Luo Xu gently placed the body on the ground and then headed straight for the next sentry.

His movements became increasingly skilled, and there were no unnecessary actions in the entire process.

After dealing with the middle sentry in the same way, Luo Xu was about to sneak up behind the right sentry when the right sentry suddenly turned around.

The sentry's eyes widened, and he raised his left hand to touch the bone whistle on his neck, when a dagger slashed across his throat.

It was the hand that came from the speedster who had been hiding on the right side.

Speedy reached out and covered the sentry's mouth and nose, but the sentry was still struggling.

Luo Xu strode forward and plunged a knife into his heart.

Luo Xu ignored the system's notification sound and immediately headed down the path at the foot of the hill with his speedy legs.

The sentries outside the main camp would occasionally glance down the hillside, and if they didn't show themselves for a long time, the sentries on the path would definitely notice something was wrong.

Luo and Xu went down the hillside.

The sentry on the path had not yet noticed the change on the hillside; he walked slowly with his back to Luo Xu and the other man.

Luo Xu seized the opportunity and plunged the dagger into his heart, then dragged the body into the nearby bushes.

Luo Xu did not stop and headed towards the first campfire.

Once the two bandits at the first campfire are dealt with, even if we're exposed, we can quickly retreat along this route.

Luo Xu crouched behind the bushes, looking at the first campfire.

The two robbers were still sitting by the fire, one with his back to them and the other with his side to them, each holding a single knife in his arms.

If they were to sneak past like this, Luo Xu could only deal with the bandits whose backs were to them; the bandits who were turned to the side would definitely spot them and make a sound.

Luo Xu thought for a moment and said to Fei Maotui, "Go behind those bushes over there and make some noise to attract their attention."

"Okay." Speedy nodded and soon circled around to the back of a bush outside the camp.

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the direction of the swift-footed bandits, and the two bandits simultaneously looked up at the bushes.

"What's that noise?"

"Go and take a look."

The robber, who had been standing sideways, stood up and walked toward the bushes where the swift-footed man was hiding.

Luo Xu approached silently, covered the mouth of the bandit who was facing away from them from behind, and plunged a dagger into his back.

The robber twitched and was gently laid down.

The robber who had stood up was still staring at the bushes when suddenly a hand covered his mouth, and then he felt a chill in his heart.

"not good!"

The moment that thought crossed my mind, everything before me was swallowed up by darkness.

"Is it resolved?" Speedy's voice came from behind the bushes on the opposite side, very low.

"Mm," Luo Xu replied.

Swiftfoot came out and, together with Luo Xu, dragged the two corpses into the bushes nearby.

"Go back and call Captain Walter and the others. Tell them the sentries have all been taken care of," Luo Xu said to Speedy. "Be quick."

"Okay." Speedy nodded, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Luo Xu withdrew his gaze, bent down, and pulled a dagger from the two corpses on the ground.

My own blade was already dull; I could clearly feel the edge was stiff when I stabbed the robber.

He switched to the bandit's dagger and walked toward the tent by the campfire in the main camp.

Now, the bandits outside the cave are all sleeping in their tents.

They could wake up at any moment, and we must deal with them before Walter and his men arrive.

As they approached the campfire at the main camp, the snoring inside the tent continued.

Luo Xu crouched down and crept over, lifting a corner of the tent.

The two robbers were sleeping like logs, one lying on his back and the other curled up on his side.

He started from the one lying on his back, covering his mouth with his left hand and thrusting the dagger straight into his heart with his right.

The one on its side seemed to have smelled blood; it frowned, turned over, and mumbled something in its sleep.

Taking advantage of the moment, Luo Xu stabbed himself in the back, and the snoring abruptly stopped.

He quietly went out and found two more robbers in the other tents.

After killing them, Luo Xu lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

So far tonight, he has killed a total of fourteen bandits.

There are at least nine people still watching Lantas Village outside the camp, so there should be less than five people left inside the cave.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, taking down this bandit camp is practically a certainty.

Luo Xu lowered his body and came to the entrance of the cave.

The campfire was still burning inside the cave, casting a bright red glow on the cave walls.

Luo Xu pressed himself against the stone wall at the cave entrance and looked over to the side.

The three robbers were still sitting around the fire playing cards, completely unaware of the commotion outside.

These three bandits must be dealt with. If they discover what's happening outside and block the entrance, it will be very difficult to break in.

There was a robber facing the cave entrance; if you entered the cave, he would definitely notice you.

It seems we can't continue with the sneak attacks.

He took the captured light crossbow from behind his back, pulled a bolt from his quiver, and began to load it.

He was still a bit clumsy with the loading action, and it took him some time to get the arrow slot secure.

Luo Xu raised his crossbow and, using the light of the campfire, aimed at the bandit facing the cave entrance.

The man had a blade of grass in his mouth and was looking down at the cards in his hand.

"Whoosh!" The crossbow bolt sliced ​​through the air and shot straight into the cave.

It hit right in the brain!

"Ding! Your crossbow skill +3. Your crossbow skill is now 3. Next level: 2/42."

The robber didn't even utter a sound before falling backward, scattering the cards in his hand all over the ground.

Before the remaining two bandits could react, Luo Xu had already thrown away his crossbow, drawn his iron sword, and charged in.

With the enhancements from the Mount & Blade system, his speed was extremely fast.

The man on the left was about to stand up when the tip of the sword pierced his back and emerged from his chest.

The one on the right finally saw who it was and opened his mouth wide as if to shout.

Luo Xu had already released his grip on the sword hilt and drawn his dagger.

A single stab to the throat silenced the scream that was about to escape his lips. Luo Xu didn't stop; with a backhand stroke, he plunged the knife into the man's heart.

The robber on the right staggered backward and fell to the ground.

Luo Xu looked at his hands, somewhat surprised.

My movements are becoming more and more fluid. Before, when I ambushed the three bandits changing shifts outside the camp, I was a bit clumsy.

Without much thought, he pulled the iron sword from the robber's body and then picked up the light crossbow.

Luo Xu gripped his iron sword tightly and looked ahead.

At the end of the cave was a corner, where a fire flickered.

The bandit leader is inside!
