I was a lord farming, how did I become an emperor?

Chapter 103 Rhodes' Excitement Point
……

……

Dis did not set off immediately.

He spent two days getting the team organized.

The main purpose was to drag the hungover brother out of the woman's bed.

Men who have just finished playing with women shouldn't go straight to the battlefield, otherwise they'll become weak and incompetent.

Therefore, Dis had to make sure they woke up in advance and had two days to recover properly.

He left fifteen men to guard Luanshi Village, and set off with one hundred and seventeen of his men.

After traveling for two days, the team entered the territory of Black Pine Ridge.

Where is the granary you mentioned?

As he rode on his horse, holding the hand of Airo whose hands were bound, Dis asked impatiently.

"We're still ahead. Once we see the wheat fields, we'll be almost there."

Airo pointed into the distance, then changed the subject.
"But you can't just go there in broad daylight, can you? That lord isn't stupid."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Dis rolled his eyes at Airo and said nothing more.

But he had to admit that Airo was right.

Dis immediately ordered all members of the Brotherhood of Blades to halt their advance and retreat to a hilly area to eat and rest.

It wasn't until nightfall that Dis led the team to continue their journey.

Soon, they saw vast fields of harvested wheat.

"Behind the wheat field, on the hillside, hidden in the woods, lies a large granary."

Airo no longer concealed anything and said, "But sir, you must be careful, there are twenty or thirty guards there."

"Twenty or thirty?"

Dis chuckled, and the henchman next to him joined in with a low sneer.

"I have over a hundred men here, why would I be afraid of twenty or thirty?"

Although Dis's men were not well-organized, thirty-three of them were wearing chainmail.

This was the capital he had accumulated over five years as a bandit.

"Let me tell you, even if there are a hundred people in this granary, I'm still going to eat them all!"

Despite his firm words, Dis still sent three scouts to gather information.

Dis isn't a reckless fool; otherwise, he wouldn't have stolen it from Frozen Valley.

Not long after, the scout returned and reported: "Boss, there really is a large granary!"

"There was a fence around it, and thatched huts all around!"

"There were also patrols, so we didn't dare get too close, but it looked like a granary!"

The scouts' words immediately reassured Dis.

Dis licked his lips, his eyes gleaming.

If we seize another 30,000 jin of grain, we can feed dozens more people under our command!

"Boss, should we kill this kid?"

One of the robbers leaned close to Dis and whispered something.

The "kid" the bandits were talking about was Airo.

With the granary secured, Airo is no longer needed.

"No hurries?"

Dis glanced at his men. "His hands are tied. Are you really worried he'll burn down the granary?"

"Let's talk about it after we've got the grain in our hands."

Dis walked over to Airo, patted him on the shoulder, and grinned: "You did a good job, I'll reward you."

"No need, no need, just help me save my wife and daughter!" Airo said excitedly.

Dis didn't reply, but turned and waved to his men.

"set off!"

The night was dark, like a thick curtain.

Under the cover of darkness, Dis led his brothers, slowly making their way towards the granary.

The granary is located on a hillside, surrounded by dense forest.

Since the cavalry couldn't perform well inside, Dis left five men to guard the horses on the outer perimeter before sneaking into the woods.

Unlike those ragtag bandit gangs, Dis had some military skills.

He didn't barge in loudly; he approached quietly all along.

Furthermore, Dis also sent out scouts from time to time to scout ahead and approach silently under the cover of night and the jungle.

Soon, Dis saw the light of the torches.

He waved his hand and whispered, "Second brother, third brother, go and kill the guards."

Two nimble henchmen nodded and quickly moved over.

In the distance, several guards were dozing off under a shack, their snores rising softly.

The second and third brothers exchanged a glance, and without disturbing anyone, quietly unlocked the door and slowly pushed it open.

Upon witnessing this, Dis could no longer hold back and excitedly shouted the order:
"Leave no one alive, take everything!"

"They're looting the grain!"

The bandits finally couldn't hold back any longer and charged forward with a roar, their voices filled with greed.

The robbers, who flooded into the granary like a flood, instantly woke up the guards!

"Enemy attack!"

The guards shouted and turned to run uphill!

"Ha ha, what a bunch of cowards!"

"The lord has raised nothing but cowards!"

The robbers laughed loudly and didn't give chase, but instead ran straight to the grain pile covered with tarpaulin under the shack next to them!
"Grain, here I come!"

Excitedly, a robber lifted the tarpaulin, picked up a bag, and ran away!
The loosely tied bag came undone instantly, and its contents spilled all over the floor!
"This, this isn't right!"

The robber shouted, "This is sand!"

The robbers were stunned for a moment and quickly opened the bags next to them!
"Mine is sand too!" "Mine is pine needle!"

There is absolutely no food!

"Boss! There's nothing there!"

"what happened?"

Dis was suddenly startled. "Where's Airo?"

"He...he's gone!" the subordinate shouted in a panic.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him?"

Finished!

Dis's head went blank for a second, as if it had exploded!

"It's a trap!"

Dis immediately realized what was happening.

"Get out!"

However, by the time Dis realized it, it was all over.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sharp gust of wind howled down from the sky!

Before he could even look up, spears rained down upon him!
"what!"

A robber was pinned to the ground by a spear, blood splattering everywhere!

Urgently waiting for second place, third place...

In the blink of an eye, more than ten people collapsed!
"It's a trap! Get hidden!"

Dis panicked completely and shouted loudly.

The fraternity's underlings reacted quickly, rolling away to hide behind the shack.

But the other bandits were a disorganized mob, scattering around like headless flies in terror.

Screams and shouts filled the air.

The robbers at the door wanted to escape, but they didn't dare to show their faces!

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The heavy footsteps, like hammer blows, drew closer, striking the hearts of all the bandits.

Dis quickly looked outside and saw a group of soldiers holding square shields lined up in battle formation, approaching step by step.

This squad of soldiers completely blocked the Brotherhood of Blades' path!

"Retreat to the mountaintop!"

Dis shouted and took the lead in running towards the top of the mountain.

The spiked fences on both sides made the mountaintop their only way out.

The underlings followed closely behind, and the other bandits caught up as well.

But before he could run more than a few steps, the whooshing sound rang out again!

The familiar spears fell from the sky once more, like the scythe of death reaping the lives of the bandits.

From above, countless spears were hurled down, like the scythe of death.

The robber running at the front was instantly pinned to the ground!

Before even seeing the enemy, Dis had already lost thirty or forty men!

His eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenched, and he shouted, "Back off!"

Dee now understood that the other party was determined to trap him here!

……

……

"I love ambushes!"

On the high platform atop the mountain, Rhodes looked down at the war below.

He felt a surge of excitement.

He preferred ambushes to risky raids.

—Make a bag, put in bait and wait for the enemy to crawl in, then tie the bag tightly.

This allows you to wipe out the enemy without any effort.

Rhodes hated losses and hated covering his soldiers with straw mats.

This ambush can minimize Rhodes' losses!
Commanding such a war excited Rhodes more than seeing a beautiful woman!

Just like now, before the savage spear throwers had even finished throwing all 120 spears, the enemy had already surrendered.

Besides, Rod had prepared forty more for them, which now seemed unnecessary.

The other party has learned their lesson and is now obediently staying in the central area we chose for them.

Now, with just a wave of his hand, Rhodes could slaughter them all like dogs.

Of course, this was not Rhodes's goal.

So the battlefield, like water flowing under the eaves in winter, froze.

At this moment, Renn strode up to Rhodes, bowed, and reported, "My lord, all the bandits guarding the warhorses have been shot dead, and all thirty-six horses are now ours!"

"Good job!"

Rod patted him on the shoulder and nodded in satisfaction.

He glanced to the side and saw Airo standing there, head down, looking nervous.

"You did a good job too, I'm very satisfied."

Rhodes glanced at him, his tone calm yet authoritative.

"Don't worry, I will keep my promise. Your daughter will not be a slave in the future."

"Work hard for me, and you'll have hope for the future."

Airo is capable of getting things done; he has both courage and resourcefulness, and is worthy of Rhodes's attention.

Airo suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency Lord Rhodes!"

He knelt down with a thud, his voice trembling.

If the slaves in Frostleaf Town are living so well, shouldn't the free people be able to take off?

Rod waved for him to get up, then looked at Durant.

"Let's go, it's time to get down to business."
