So I'm a sheep.

Before joining the Forty Thieves, he was a prominent figure in the bandit world, with connections to many major thief groups.

But with such a small relationship, how could we expect them to travel all the way to help us?

"Brother, your thinking is wrong."

The leader pointed out, "They're not here to help us because of your reputation; they're here to rob us!"

“The Earl of Bambe is weak-willed, and the city of Bambe is poorly defended.”

"Otherwise, why would a dignified earl bow down to a mere forty bandits?"

The Forty Thieves, as the name suggests, was a gang of robbers consisting of only forty people.

This size can only be considered medium.

To compromise like this even with a medium-sized bandit gang...

If seven or eight bandit gangs of a hundred men each came, what's so impossible about them taking over the city of Bambe?

"Master Banbei bowed his head because we Forty Thieves are so powerful!" the second-in-command couldn't help but say.

"But others don't know that."

The leader said in a deep voice, "I'll have Old Nine go with you. You two take all the gold coins you've earned this time and give them to them as a greeting gift."

Seeing the man's eyes widen, the leader said fiercely, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Once we take over the Earl's mansion, this little bit of stuff will be nothing!"

The second-in-command was tempted; he thought the first-in-command was right.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; let's pull off a big heist and live as millionaires in anonymity!

"I'll get ready and set off soon."

"it is good"

After watching the man leave, the leader quickly found the third and ninth brothers.

"How has she progressed in the past six months?"

"My equestrian skills are even better than mine, and my tracking skills are about 80% as good as mine."

After thinking for a moment, Lao Jiu said, "If Lao Shiwu were to escape now, I wouldn't be very confident that I could catch her and bring her back."

The leader was immediately moved, and he looked at the third brother.

“I taught her my special skill, ‘Python Entangling Body,’ a few days ago.”

With just one sentence, the leader knew that the young girl had mastered all of the third brother's skills.

"You've almost mastered all your skills in just six months?"

Seeing the two nod, the leader asked again, "Third brother, what do you think of her personality?"

"It's a contradiction."

After a long pause, the woman slowly said, "She is fierce yet cunning, holds grudges, but also has a grateful side."

"Boss, the fifteenth brother has been holding a grudge ever since you beat her up half a year ago."

"Of course, I am grateful that you asked us to pass on your skills to her."

"I see..."

The leader made up his mind: "Third brother, tomorrow you and fourth brother go to Luowa Town. Find the contact and have him apply for two years' worth of medicine."

"The fifteenth child's second development will take place in the next two years, so we need to invest heavily in laying a good foundation for her."

Two years?

The third brother hesitated and said, "With so many applications, we might not be able to get them approved."

"Now is a critical moment, it's okay to make excessive demands, the higher-ups will grant them."

The leader said calmly, "Make sure they deliver it by tomorrow, before spring arrives, otherwise my plans will be disrupted. You can make it sound serious."

"Yo"

"Fifth brother?"

"You've been replaced. You'll be training with me for the next period of time."

Sasha's eyes lit up, and she immediately got into position.

Please enlighten me!

Is this a direct confrontation? Fine.

The man's hand gripped the hilt of his sword: "Fifteenth Brother, I wield a fast sword."

The two swordsmen faced off, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

brush

Sasha had only just drawn her sword halfway when a gleaming longsword was already pressed against her neck.

"..."

This sword is so fast?

The girl stared blankly at the man, unable to recover from her swift defeat for a long time.

"Sword drawing technique, would you like to learn?" the fifth brother asked with a smile.

"I want to learn!!!"

"Start practicing now. Draw your sword, sheath it, draw your sword, sheath it. Don't stop until I tell you to."

"Yes!"

The bandits, who had temporarily stopped their robbery activities, were bored when the girl who practiced drawing and sheathing her sword every day in front of her house caught their attention.

"What is the fifteenth prince doing?"

"Let's practice swordsmanship."

"What kind of skill can you possibly develop with this?"

Many people imitated it in strange ways, and even more people started to blindly follow suit.

Seeing this, the fifth brother frowned slightly.

He was about to shoo her away when he realized that the girl seemed completely unaffected.

"The fifteenth prince?"

He called out tentatively, but Sasha was lost in her own world and ignored him completely.

"..."

No wonder she was able to learn the skills of the third and ninth brothers in just six months. While her genius certainly played a part, such focus was also essential.

As winter approached, the bandits all retreated indoors to warm themselves by the fire, but Sasha continued practicing in front of the house.

"stop"

A pebble was thrown over, and the girl immediately cleaved it away with her sword.

"Hmm, you called me?"

"Do you feel like it's getting harder to increase your speed?"

That's right.

"Now I'm going to tell you something mysterious."

The fifth brother said slowly, "The reason I can draw my sword so fast is not just because of my hand speed."

"What else?"

"Spirit!"

"The moment I drew my sword, I poured all my spirit into it!"

...........................................

"What I'm drawing isn't a sword, it's an awareness."

Ah, this...

That's more than just a little mysterious, it's way too mysterious!

"What kind of awareness?" Sasha asked with a strange look.

"The resolve to win with a single strike, to defeat the enemy with a single blow."

"..."

"Everyone's level of awareness is different; you should choose what suits you best."

The fifth brother shrugged: "That's it. Whether you can master this sword-drawing technique in the future depends on your fate."

"After spring, the fourth brother will teach you archery. It's getting cold, so be sure to keep warm."

"and many more!"

Sasha jumped in front of the fifth brother: "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. I haven't mastered the sword-drawing technique yet. Teach me some other special skills."

It's gone.

"what?"

"I only have this one skill, and that's all..."

"No"

Sasha rubbed her hands together: "Fifth brother, fifth brother!"

"Your understanding of swordsmanship, your ultimate techniques for defeating powerful enemies, and your rich experience in combat—you can teach me all of these."

"If all else fails, you could practice your swordplay with me."

"Well"
