At this moment, the sun slowly rose early in the morning.

Gradually, half of the sky, which was originally red, faded into yellow with a hint of blood-red hue.

It was as if they were saying that they had just experienced a battle here.

Moreover, the people on Su Mu’s side were sitting in the carriage. Everyone had smiles on their faces, feeling extremely satisfied.

…

On the other side of the mountain.

Hank brought the mountain raiders and ran for nearly ten miles in one breath.

Only when they couldn’t see their own home clearly did they let out a sigh of relief and let the people stop to rest.

“Phew, Boss… Boss! Why did these f*cking city guards come knocking on our door? Aren’t they usually not in charge of anything?”

“They are still talking about rebellion. Lord Blair is…dead. What is going on?”

Sandy placed his hands on his hips and leaned against the tree. He leaned over and panted incessantly.

On the way here, everyone was terrified.

They had been used to freedom in this stronghold, and the surrounding city guards around them were all useless.

They had actually rushed up here tonight without any warning!

“F*ck… F*ck, who knows where these city guards came from!”

Hank took the kettle from his subordinate and drank a mouthful of water. After recovering some of his strength, he spat on the ground and cursed angrily.

Hank had great strength and stamina. Though he was not as breathless as his subordinate, running for more than ten miles was very tiring.

Moreover, the city guards had directly said that Lord Blair’s uprising was already quelled, which had really scared Hank.

Although the internal structure of the empire was rotten and the officials were extremely corrupt, their top-level strength still had the ability to easily crush Blair and the others to death!

Therefore, this was also the reason why Lord Blair had always urged Hank to develop in a low-key manner.

“What’s going on? There aren’t any pursuers behind us?”

Sandy was still breathing heavily, and his face was full of confusion.

Sandy did not understand any logic, nor did he understand how Lord Blair’s death would affect him.

However, Sandy knew that the city guards had suddenly come to kill them. Originally, they had said that they would kill them all.

But now, there weren’t even a single city guard chasing after them?

That was ridiculous!

“Isn’t it good that they didn’t catch up? If they did, would we still be alive?”

Hank slapped his lackey and glared at him.

In Hank’s opinion, it would be good if the city guards didn’t catch up.

Once they caught up, they wouldn’t even be able to escape.

It was hard to say if they would survive!

“But Boss, why didn’t they catch up? There wasn’t a single pursuer behind us. This is very strange. It’s like they clearly have the ability to kill us, but they deliberately let us go…”

Sandy covered his head that had been slapped. He still couldn’t figure it out.

Now that Hank had rested, he began to think carefully and found some details.

They were clearly going to kill Hank, but they had made it so big.

If it was really the city guards… logically, they should have sneaked into the mountains and killed Hank secretly.

“You…wait… It seems like it!” Hank looked at his henchman and started to explain. He was so angry that he wanted to slap him.

But on second thought, it seemed that there was something fishy about it!

If the city guards really wanted to kill Hank, they would have already attacked him. Why would they give him a chance to escape?

“Take a few people and sneak back through the path. Check out the situation on the other side and report back to me.”

Hank touched his chin and thought for a moment.

This was a safer method.

After all, Hank had about half a hundred raiders here. If they appeared together, they could still be discovered.

The safer method was to let Sandy take a few men back to check out the situation.

Hank immediately ordered his men to go back to the mountain to check out the situation.

“Should I go… Boss?”

Sandy pointed at himself and asked suspiciously and fearfully.

“Then what else? !”

Hank snorted and glared at him again.

“Alright then.”

Sandy took the order shakily. Although he was a little worried, he still accepted the order and started to return to the stockade with a few people.

However, when they returned to the stockade…

Su Mu had long returned to his territory with his people.

What was left for the raiders was nothing but ruins and an empty warehouse!

…

Chang’an Village.

Avril went online early in the morning and entered the game.

When she went online, she found that there were more than a dozen horses in the village and a large amount of food and weapons.

The bordering villagers and the refugees who had just arrived surrounded the village. It was very lively.

To be honest, they were just ordinary villagers. It was the first time they had seen so much food in such a short time.

Moreover, behind the food, there were real knives and spears placed on the carriage!

“What… What Happened?”

Avril rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

Every time Avril logged in, she would encounter changes.

On the first day, Su Mu had built many houses, which was already quite a surprise.

In the end, Su Mu led his men to hunt down the black bear and obtained the blueprint of the military camp.

And then today, who knew where Su Mu got such a large amount of resources.

“This is 10,000 kilograms of grain. With this grain, you can be at ease and take in the refugees.”

Su Mu saw her go online and walked up to her with a smile.

In this game, having grains meant having the means to support a population.

Having a population meant having strength!

Therefore, grain was a very important product!

And Su Mu had brought back 10,000 kilograms of grain, enough to support more than 500 people for a year’s rations.

Previously, Avril was a little worried about not having enough grain, so she would occasionally control the speed of accepting refugees.

But now, it could be said that before the village developed into a county, there was no need to worry about food.

Avril could let go of the need to take in refugees!

“This, this, this… So much food?”

Avril’s beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief as she extended a finger and pointed at the food.

Avril really didn’t expect this. After all, all she did was sleep.

In the end, you got back 10,000 kilograms of food?!

That was 10,000 kilograms!

One had to know that other players might only have accumulated about 100 kilograms of food in the village up until now.

To get 10,000 kilograms in one night, it couldn’t be a robbery!

“Not only food but also weapons and equipment. It’s enough to arm over a hundred soldiers.”

Su Mu took out a knife from a carriage behind him. His fingers lightly brushed the side of the knife and flicked it lightly.

The blade of the knife made a soft metallic sound.

The quality was not bad.

This seemingly relaxed tone was just a few simple words.

From Avril’s point of view, it really surprised her to the point of being full.

Avril was already quite a noob back then. She knew how many players might not even have a standard weapon now.

In reality, there were even many tycoons who offered high prices. There were even many high-quality weapons that were sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars each!

However, Su Mu had obtained nearly a hundred standard weapons, and their grades…were all high-grade!

Didn’t this mean that a hundred weapons in her possession were equivalent to tens of millions of dollars in assets?

Avril had become a multimillionaire just like that?

Avril’s face was filled with shock as she pinched her own face.

Then, Avril looked at Su Mu, looking left and right, as if she was afraid that she might have missed him.

Finally, Avril confirmed that she was not dreaming and asked unwillingly.

“Su Mu, did you rob the grain depot?”
