Chapter 71 71. Where to go? How many to kill?

Following Mo Hao's choice, countless golden spots of light came from nowhere and gathered towards his right hand.

As the light spots converged, a flag formed in Mo Hao's hands.

The flag is completely black without any patterns. Behind the flag is a hollow dragon made of silk. It looks similar to a carp flag, but with a dragon head on its head.

Holding the certificate of dominance of the Calradia continent, a vague message came to Mo Hao's mind.

It requires Mo Hao to own a territory, either by inheritance or occupation. In any case, the prerequisite is to own a territory first.

It seems that this thing will not be of any use until I get my own territory.

Mo Hao didn't care too much about it. With a thought, the dragon flag turned into a ray of light and merged into his arm.

This made Mo Hao feel relieved. Without this function, it would be difficult for him to run around with a flag that was more than two or three meters long.

It's troublesome to carry it with me, but I'm worried something might go wrong if I don't carry it with me.

Worrying about gains and losses is a very troublesome mentality, but the convenient capabilities presented by the dragon flag made Mo Hao no longer have such concerns.

Then Mo Hao turned his attention to the group of villagers who were tied up. At this time, the villagers were still standing there stupidly, as if they had not yet reacted.

He used a knife to cut the ropes of several of them, and then called on them to pick up the weapons on the ground and cut the ropes of the others.

There are at least hundreds of people tied up here. It would be a waste of time for Mo Hao to untie them one by one.

After freeing the young and strong men first, Mo Hao originally planned to take people to put out the fire first, but the fire had been on for some time.

The dry weather and the strong wind fanned the flames, and the fire was already out of control.

Not only was there no way to put out the fire, but he even had to take other people away from the burning village.

Not long after, people outside the village cried out as they watched their homes collapse in flames.

It’s not that no one wanted to rush back to put out the fire, or rescue some property from the house, but they were all held down by Mo Hao.

Although saving people was just a piece of cake for him, he couldn't just watch them go back and die after saving them.

Especially when the reason for death is to rescue property.

Just as everyone was watching their homes being burned in the blazing fire, an old man, supported by others, came to Mo Hao, bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, benefactor. I am the head of this village. May I know your name?"

Li Zheng, if I remember correctly, seems to be a grassroots official position similar to the village chief.

At the same time, when the governor stood in front of Mo Hao, he seemed a little timid.

This is not surprising, because when Mo Hao suddenly slaughtered the wolf demon, the village head saw it clearly.

The two wolf demons were like lambs to be slaughtered in front of Mo Hao. It was more like a tiger entering the flock of sheep and slaughtering them than a battle.

If possible, the village head really didn't want to stand in front of Mo Hao.

The reason is simple, it's that after carrying out a killing spree, Mo Hao did not conceal the murderous aura and evil spirit at all.

This murderous aura has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that those villagers who intend to go back to rescue their property can be pinned down and become obedient. The disadvantage is that Li, who is already old, trembles like a quail in front of Mo Hao.

"The head of the village has something to say. If I can help, Mo Hao will do his best to help."

Mo Hao was not unfamiliar with the look of the village head. He could even say that he was very familiar with it. It was basically like having an exclamation mark hanging above his head.

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng immediately said, "Let the benefactor know that many of the able-bodied men in our village were abducted before the fort was breached."

"How many people were abducted? Where did they go?" Mo Hao didn't have time to wait for the headman to explain everything slowly. His approach was always simple, direct and efficient.

Tell him directly where to go, how many people to kill, and how many people to bring back to complete the mission.

Apart from that, other background stories or other things are just a waste of time for Mo Hao.

"There is a camp about thirty miles south of here. The young and strong men from several villages around here have been abducted by those monsters..."

Before he could finish his words, Mo Hao ran towards the south. The strong wind he raised directly suppressed the rest of the sentence that the headman had said into his stomach.

Mo Hao condensed the headman's words into one sentence: Kill all the monsters in the military camp and bring back the abducted men from each village.

While running wildly, Mo Hao was silently thinking about a question.

Is it possible that the people in those villages could become the conditions for him to activate the [Dragon Flag]?

Mo Hao remembered that in [Mount & Blade], after the [Dragon Flag] was assembled, it had two functions.

One is to offer it to other lords, join the lord's forces, and help the lord ascend the throne.

The other is to establish yourself as king and build an empire.

To build an empire, you need to meet four prerequisites: have a complete dragon flag, a family reputation of level 3, a settlement, and an army of at least 100 people.

The complete dragon flag is in Mo Hao's hands, so this item can be skipped.

Putting aside the issue of family reputation for the moment, he confirmed when he woke up that he did not seem to have an elder brother who took him away from the robbery of bandits, nor did he have a pair of younger brothers and sisters who were abducted by bandits and sold to other places.

But having a settlement and an army of 100 people can satisfy that need as quickly as possible.

The young and strong people who were captured were originally the best source of soldiers.

Especially after learning from the head of the village that there seemed to be many able-bodied men in the monster's camp, it was even more impossible for him to let them go.

Running all the way, Mo Hao soon saw a military camp near a water source.

Through the vision of the phantom ghost, there was a bloody evil aura emanating from the sky above the military camp, and there was a wolf demon holding a spear guarding the door.

At the same time, the wolf monsters in the military camp kept running towards one place, as if there was a riot.

But all these had nothing to do with Mo Hao. He just came to massacre everyone in the military camp and then leave with the able-bodied men.

What is the problem……

Kill first and then talk!
The two wolf demons guarding the gate of the military camp felt a gust of wind blowing in their faces, and their eyes were blinded by the wind and sand.

Then a huge force came crashing down, and the two wolf demons were like being hit head-on by a violently charging giant elephant. They were smashed directly onto the barricades five meters away, and their bodies were bent into angles that were impossible for living things to achieve.

"two."

The two wolf monsters at the gate of the military camp died tragically before they could even shout out that they were attacked by the enemy.

Mo Hao's eyes were bloodshot, the blood in his body was surging violently, and at this moment there was only the purest and most violent murderous intent in his eyes.

"Everyone, the Grim Reaper is here to take us away!"

After he finished speaking, a scarlet figure rushed straight into the military camp.

Thanks to [Xiao Wang Yi Er], [RB_Q], [Data Miracle], [Detective Pikachu], and [Wu Wen Tian Di] for their rewards.
