Chapter 848 True and False Princess 18
The bandit leader asked, "Do you know any other bandit villages nearby that would rob besides ours?"

The injured bandit thought for a moment and said, "You are the only ones who are close by."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have run to this bandit's den. Didn't he go there because he saw it was very close? If it was farther away, it would be dozens of miles away. How long would it take to get there?

Generally, bandit dens are at least ten miles away. If they are too close, the merchants passing by their village will have already been plundered by their neighbors, and there will be no share for themselves. Only if they are a little far away and there are common people passing by between the two places, will there be fresh goods to rob.

"Really?" The bandit leader didn't believe it. They looted so thoroughly, it must be nearby. If it was too far away, those things couldn't be taken away, unless the other party had a mule to carry it. However, most bandit nests didn't keep such things. After all, they had to send someone to raise a mule, which was very troublesome.

After hearing the bandit leader's question, the injured bandit hesitated and said, "Actually, there is another bandit den to our left. It used to be bigger than ours, with more than a dozen people, but they all died recently and a group of women took over the place. Could it be that the women came here to rob us?"

The bandit leader was curious after hearing this and asked, "Woman? There are women who are mountain kings?"

The injured bandit nodded and said, "Yes! We noticed that there was no movement next door that day, so we wanted to go over to see if something happened. When we went over, we found that something really happened. All the men in the village were gone, and the place was occupied by a group of women. We were planning to take over, but they ended up killing several of them."

The injured bandit's words caused the other bandits to burst into laughter. They said, "Haha, what happened to you? You can't even beat a woman and you got beaten to death."

The injured bandit naturally didn't want to be laughed at, so he said, "You know what? They built something like a city wall, and they also had bows and arrows. Our people were shot to death by them with arrows."

The other bandits looked at each other in bewilderment. The bandit leader asked, "And... bows and arrows?!"

These places are close to the capital, so the bandits are in a primitive state, just fighting and killing. They don't have bows and arrows. There are more bandit dens in places far away from the capital and in chaos.

The reason why there are such things in the bandit dens in those places is that most of those bandits are former defeated soldiers. Since they were soldiers before, some of them naturally have some standard military weapons in their hands, including bows and arrows, swords, etc.

Of course, those bandit dens that have standard weapons are not actually ordinary bandit dens, but rather a small insurgent army.

That's why the bandit leader was surprised when he heard what the injured bandit said.

The injured bandit said, "That's right. If they didn't have the city walls and bows and arrows, we couldn't get close to them. We could only let them stand on the city walls and shoot us. Would we die? Would we lose? Those little girls are so weak. Even ten of them are no match for me."

The bandit leader listened to his words, thought for a while, then pointed at the dead people on the ground and said, "What about these? They ran out and ran to your previous village. Without the protection of the city wall, they killed these people. This doesn't look like they have no strength."

The injured bandit said: "We had a fierce fight before, and everyone is injured. Those little girls should be able to beat one of our injured ones. Besides, they have bows and arrows in their hands." Although he listened to the bandit leader's words, he also had some doubts in his heart. After all, he vaguely remembered that when he went to the women's territory, he found that there didn't seem to be many of them. In this case, it seemed that there was no situation where several people beat one of them, and there were no traces of arrow injuries at the scene. But, if not, could those little girls beat these strong men? How is it possible? Even if his accomplices were injured, they would not be so easy to beat.

The bandit leader didn't know the situation of this bandit den. He just thought that these people had been beaten and seriously injured before, so Linlang and the others took advantage of the opportunity. He immediately said, "Let's go and take a look at the place where those little girls you mentioned are."

Since he thought these people had been seriously injured before and it would be easy for Linlang to beat them, he naturally didn't think Linlang could be that powerful. So he only saw that Linlang had a lot of things. After all, she occupied two villages, so how much money, food, and women should she have? As long as they got them, they would be rich, so he was naturally tempted.

He was moved, and naturally, his accomplices who came with him were also moved.

However, considering that the injured bandit said that Linlang and her friends had bows and arrows and were very powerful, everyone decided to go back and bring all their family members out, in case they were outnumbered and couldn't win the fight.

In addition, they also took some precautions against the bows and arrows of Linlang and others. After all, bows and arrows could kill people, and they couldn't just take them head-on as the injured bandit said.

Furthermore, the injured bandit was needed to help lead the way, and the injured bandit was seriously injured and needed to rest, otherwise, if he went there immediately, he might not be able to get through.

So two days later, Linlang and others discovered that a group of bandits appeared on the mountain road with some iron pots.

They had a nice idea, thinking that as long as they held the iron pot on their heads, they would not be afraid of Linlang's bow and arrows. They also thought that Linlang's arrows were limited, and they could attack once they had shot all her arrows.

Linlang would send little bees to patrol the surroundings every day, so she naturally knew about this a long time ago. However, she was not too scared. After all, she had made some more arrows these days, plus the arrows that had been used and recycled before. Even if these people used iron pots as shields, they could not block all of them.

Moreover, with these iron pots, she will have more iron tools and can make more arrows. This is naturally a good thing. After all, although there is iron sand, she still needs to slowly remove impurities from the iron sand and wash it out. It is not as convenient as directly melting the ready-made iron tools.

Linlang immediately told Banli and the others that more bandits had arrived.

The four people who had come before were very calm this time because they had experienced bandit attacks before, but the three new girls were a little scared.

Since they had only been there for a few days and had not yet learned much, Linlang did not ask them to do anything. She only asked them to go up the mountain wall to see how Linlang and the others fought so that they could accumulate some experience.

Anyway, as far as she knew, the enemy had no bows and arrows, so if she went up to the wall to watch the battle, she wouldn't be afraid of being hurt by the enemy's arrows.

In fact, the bandits had thought about getting bows and arrows, but even if they got them, their archery skills were not up to standard for the time being, so they didn't get them. They only brought iron pots as shields, and planned to cut down a tree nearby to use as a battering ram to hit the gate of Linlang's village.
