Chapter 33: Setting the Mountain on Fire

Su Mu frowned and touched his chin, feeling a little worried.

In Su Mu's previous life, if he hadn't been lucky, the raiders wouldn't be exterminated right away. Fortunately, an army from the nearby city had been training outside.

If it were not for that, Su Mu's territory would have been plundered long ago!

But in this life, Su Mu couldn't pin his hopes on the help of the soldiers in the city!

"So, I have to think of a way... Kill the first wave of raiders, and bring the level of my martial arts close to the maximum before I have a chance to fight them!"

Su Mu counted with his fingers and thought of a plan in his heart.

According to the martial arts points that Su Mu had gained from killing the raiders, he would need to kill at least thirty more raiders before he could break through to Level 40.

But time waits for no man!

How could Su Mu have the time to kill the raiders slowly so that he could increase his strength?

If Su Mu had the time to kill the raiders slowly, the leader of the raiders would have already come knocking on his door several times!

It seemed that there was only one way to deal with this leader of the raiders…

As Su Mu thought of this, determination flashed in his eyes, and there was also a hint of strong resolve!

...

At the same time, in order to resist the mountain raiders' invasion.

Not only Su Mu, but many other players were also making their preparations.

Most of the players were exchanging information and resources with each other. They all knew that the previous wave of mountain raiders had come down the mountain. They had only wanted to investigate the situation and had also collected a small amount of rent.

This wave was also the second wave of mountain raiders coming down the mountain. It was very likely that a large-scale wave of mountain raiders would descend the mountain to plunder!

Some of the more stubborn players chose to band together and gather all their forces, deciding to fight the raiders to the death.

There were also some players who had some fortuitous encounters and recruited combat troops or even recruited troops with special jobs.

Of course, there were also some who chose to lie low and gave up resisting, preparing to hand over their resources.

The night was thick, and the bright moon hung on the branches.

At this point, many people were already sleeping soundly, even some were snoring.

However, there was a group of people who quietly came to the foot of a mountain under Su Mu's lead.

They all brought bows and arrows, as well as other weapons. They were ready to come to the foot of the mountain stronghold.

That's right!

Su Mu wanted to take the initiative to challenge the mountain raiders and lead the battle to the vicinity of the mountain raiders' territory.

Therefore, Su Mu chose the dark night and quietly led his men up the mountain.

Relying on the clues and directions that he had obtained from the raiders with threats and rewards, Su Mu had successfully arrived at the raiders' lair in half a day's time.

Everyone followed Su Mu and felt somewhat nervous and afraid.

After all, the place in front of them was the raiders' lair!

The people living there were all ferocious raiders!

"General...the lair of the raiders is right in front of us. If we go any further, they might discover us."

Yale stood beside Su Mu, his face anxious and confused.

He turned his head and looked at the group of soldiers behind him. They were all the same.

If you said that they were training in the middle of the night and preparing to hunt wild beasts, they would understand. After all, Su Mu had asked them to do many of these things over the past few days.

However... In just one night, they were brought directly to the front door of the raiders' dwelling. What were they doing, traveling here?

"Don't worry, we won't be discovered. These raiders might be sleeping now. How could they think that we would come here?"

Su Mu smiled and patted his chest as he promised.

As the saying went, the most dangerous place was the safest place.

Moreover, if they themselves thought that they couldn't beat these raiders even if they came here on their own, then wouldn't those raiders think the same!

"This, it seems possible, but we don't know how strong the other party is. General, do you want to directly attack them?"

Yale was stunned. It seemed like what Su Mu said was true.

If even Yale himself felt that he shouldn't sneak attack the raiders tonight, then these raiders definitely wouldn't have thought that they would be ambushed and blocked at the entrance of their homes before going down the mountain.

However, even if Yale's group really did launch a sneak attack on the mountain raiders...

Once they were inside, what kind of strength would there be? How many leaders would there be? If there was a huge disparity in strength, then the strength of their own people would not be enough!

"Who said that we were going to attack?"

Su Mu smiled and suddenly blurted out a sentence.

However, this sentence made Yale bewildered.

"Then we..."

Yale was even more confused. He tilted his head and was speechless.

For a moment, a hundred thousand whys appeared in Yale's mind.

What did Su Mu mean by not going in?

Why did his own people run over here if they weren't going in?

"We're only here to set fire, not kill people."

Su Mu looked at the confused crowd and spoke with a smile.

That's right, Su Mu's purpose of coming here was to set fire, to scare people!

In Su Mu's previous life, when everyone was still thinking about how to prepare for war and resist the invasion of the mountain raiders…

There was one person who had great skills and courage. He brought a few militiamen to the mountain raiders' lair and set the mountain on fire!

This fire directly burned the mountain raiders and knocked them senseless.

The mountain raiders thought that the main force of the government had come up and quickly ran away.

In the end, when they ran halfway, they didn't find a single person. When they turned around, they found that their lair had been raided by someone!

Taking a closer look, they realized that there were some resources and money that they had plundered, but they had all been stolen by that player.

This wave of bold actions had angered the mountain raiders greatly.

Later, when this player posted his feat on the internet, it attracted the likes of many players.

Therefore, Su Mu wanted to follow suit and try ambushing a wave of mountain raiders while the night was still dark!

"Set... Set Fire?"

Yale paused. What kind of operation was this?

Setting fire to scare the raiders?

"Yes! Yale, take a team to the back of the stronghold and prepare torches. When I light the fire here, start the fire there too!"

"Remember, make sure to leave a hole!"

Su Mu carefully told Yale some details.
