From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 23 Bandits Attack
The sky in the east was turning pale. The weather over Daming Village was not very good today, with dark clouds covering the sky.

When Ning Mengya arrived at the village entrance, Zhuge Liang and Wang Da were carefully checking their weapons.

"Zhuge Liang, Wang Da, Dameng Village is in your hands!"

Ning Mengya looked serious, and then said to Zhuge Liang: "I asked Li Er and the others to hide in the house and didn't let them come over."

Although Li Er and his men were eager to join the battle and defend Daming Village together with Zhuge Liang, the pitiful fighting power of the civilians would hardly play any role on the battlefield. No matter how brave they were, they would ultimately just be there to deliver food.

And it might even have the opposite effect.

So Ning Mengya did not let them come together, but asked them to hide in private houses to avoid casualties.

Zhuge Liang nodded secretly. This lord was not a naive person. Although he seemed easy to talk to at ordinary times, he still knew what to do and what not to do at critical moments.

A mid-level militiaman and a junior militiaman were about to deal with five bandits. The disparity in power made Ning Mengya's heart beat faster.

She subconsciously glanced at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was sitting on the horse with his eyes narrowed. His calm eyes were fixed on the distance. He was not nervous at all, and even... a little excited?

This inevitably surprised Ning Mengya a little.

On the other hand, Wang Da was surrounded by spears and holding a shield. He stood behind Zhuge Liang and tried to remain calm, but still looked a little scared and swallowed from time to time.

The fighting distance of the spear throwers is ten steps, and the spear can only exert its great power within ten steps. Zhuge Liang leaned over and said something to Wang Da, who was a little surprised, but soon nodded heavily.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
A horse was galloping quickly at the end of the village, raising a cloud of dust. The bandit leader sitting on the horse was wearing cloth armor, holding a spear, and exuding a murderous aura.

"One, two, three, four!"

Four bandits ran in an orderly line following the bandit leader. One of them held a crossbow and carried a quiver on his back. He was a crossbow soldier.

The other three were holding machetes and looking very aggressive.

One archer, three basic soldiers and a bandit leader, this is the entire composition of the bandits.

The most difficult one to deal with was undoubtedly the crossbowman, a crossbowman with the strength of a junior militiaman. His range could reach fifty steps, but his accuracy was almost nonexistent within fifty steps.

Within thirty steps, there is a 50% chance of success!
However, Zhuge Liang now possesses intermediate archery skills. He has an 80% chance of hitting the target accurately within thirty steps, which is a full 30% higher accuracy than his opponent!

Ning Mengya stood nervously in the village looking at the scene ahead. Whether she could protect Dameng Village and whether she could safely pass through the novice period depended on this wave.

Zhuge Liang...come on!

The bandits were getting closer and closer to Daming Village.

Two hundred steps, one hundred steps.

Fifty steps!
The bandit leader pulled the reins of his horse, pointed his spear at Ning Mengya, and said sternly: "Hand over thirty silver coins, and we will retreat immediately!"

As soon as the bandit leader NPC finished speaking, the opponent's panel suddenly appeared in front of Ning Mengya.

[Bandit Chief Evil Tiger: High-level militia strength, force value 20, good at using spears]

Ning Mengya was surprised. She didn't expect that in the battle within the realm of the warriors, one could also introduce the strength of the opposing leader.

However, it is only in this way that players can independently weigh whether to choose to fight or compromise, giving players more choices and at the same time testing their wisdom and courage!

Seeing that the other party was a high-level militia, Ning Mengya suddenly felt disheartened. As expected, she could not escape the fate of being a non-Emperor!
Why not send a bandit leader with primary militia strength? At least send a bandit with intermediate militia strength!
Why did the thing with the lowest probability happen to me?

Ning Mengya looked at Zhuge Liang and Wang Da who were waiting for battle, and finally gritted her teeth and said to the bandit leader: "Our territory is very small, and we don't have many resources. We only have 20 silver coins, but when we develop in the future, I will give you the 10 silver coins I owe you. Do you think we can make a deal?"

She has 30 silver coins, but she can't give them all to the other party. She has to keep some for recruiting NPCs in the future.

Zhuge Liang's expression changed slightly. He looked back at Ning Mengya with a slight anger on his face, his eyes full of disappointment.

The biggest taboo on the battlefield is to be cowardly before the battle. After all, she is the lord, and if she compromises, how can the morale of her soldiers be maintained?

As expected, Wang Da, who had been ready to die just now, was now deflated.

Facing Zhuge Liang's questioning eyes, Ning Mengya chose to turn a blind eye and continued to negotiate with the bandit leader: "If you massacre our village now, you can only get 20 silver coins in the end. I have a mid-level militia and a junior militia. Even if we die, we can still save a few lives of your men!"

"It's up to you to choose!"

Zhuge Liang cannot see the opponent's strength, this data can only be seen by the players.

But no matter what, he was sure that the other party was not a third-rate general.

Among the nine classes, he is invincible!

The bandit leader pondered for a moment, looked at Ning Mengya again, and said, "Okay, but you have to give me the horse it's riding on!"

The bandit leader pointed calmly at the chestnut horse under Zhuge Liang's crotch.

Ning Mengya looked conflicted, she knew Zhuge Liang was only a mid-level militiaman and was definitely no match for the other party. She didn't want Zhuge Liang to die, but she also knew that Zhuge Liang valued that mount very much.

Just when she was confused.

Zhuge Liang said coldly: "Send it to your mother!"

"Stupid pig, come and get it if you dare?"

The bandit leader and Ning Mengya were both shocked.

Immediately, the bandit leader angrily ordered his men to shout, "Kill him!"

The three bandits quickly charged forward, while the other crossbowman stood motionless beside the bandit leader.

charge!

Fifty steps!
Forty steps!
Thirty steps!
Enough distance!

Intermediate archery, eighty percent accuracy within thirty steps!

Zhuge Liang sat on the horse, took out arrows from the quiver behind him, drew the bow and shot arrows!
He was just trying to provoke the bandit leader to charge. Now the distance was too far and he was not sure. Only when they got closer would Zhuge Liang be sure to hit the opponent.

Whoosh!
The arrow flew through the air and shot towards the charging bandits.

puff!

"You killed the bandits, experience points +50, skill points +5"

As I guessed, killing enemies not only increases experience points, but also earns skill points!

The skill points he needs most can be obtained by killing enemies!
Zhuge Liang continued to take out arrows, and the second arrow followed.

Twenty steps, 100 percent hit rate!
puff!

"You killed the bandits, experience points +50, skill points +5"

Two consecutive shots with 100% hit rate made the bandit leader's eyes narrow. To be able to achieve such high accuracy within thirty steps, this kid must be very strong!

But there is a time interval for archery after all. Although two of his men were killed, the third one had already arrived in front of him.

"Wang Da!"

Wang Da immediately took out a spear from his spear bag and threw it at the bandit who was within ten steps in front of him.

"Fuck you!" Wang Da spat out curse words to boost his morale.

The spear was extremely powerful, especially when thrown at close range. It pierced the bandit straight through!
