With the yurt, Yang Rui took Qi Zheng and set off. After repeated consideration, he did not choose the nearest Wenyang thief stronghold in Wenshui, but chose the thief stronghold in Gaoqiao Market Town.

Dashan Town currently has very limited water strength and cannot create special warships. It will inevitably be very difficult to deal with water thieves. This is why Yang Rui gave up attacking the Wenyang Water thief stronghold in Wenshui; and the reason why he chose the thief stronghold in Gaoqiao Market Town to attack the thief stronghold in this stronghold is because the thief NPC activities in this stronghold are relatively scattered. Although the individual strength is strong, it is just right for Yang Rui and Qi Zheng to attack!

The strength of both Mazhuang Shanlin Qiangren Camp and Jiangji Wutun Bandit Camp is greater than that of Aolai Gukou Bandit Camp. In addition, there are many NPCs in the camp and are denser, so it is not suitable for Yang Rui and the other two to face it alone.

"Thieves: Level 35, Level 3..."

Yang Rui explored the information about the thieves in Takahashi Town when he came here last time. He belonged to the third-level soldiers with strong combat power. Although they are not special troops, they are also very distinctive.

Thieves are scattered in Gaoqiao Market Town, so it is not easy to distinguish. Gaoqiao Market Town is the largest market town in the southeast of Juping County. It has been a material distribution center in this area for a long time. People come and trade from south to north, and the thieves are hiding among these people and doing some unsolicited businesses.

Thieves are used to use short weapons such as daggers and are very good at hiding. It is difficult to deal with when they are crowded. Yang Rui and Qi Zheng did not intend to attack in the lively crowds, otherwise they would inevitably disturb the civilian NPCs in the market!

However, Yang Rui had thought of a countermeasure before coming over. When Yang Rui came to investigate last time, he found that the thieves here had three relatively concentrated strongholds and dozens of joint locations. Yang Rui came here to directly focus on the more than ten joint locations of the thieves.

According to Yang Rui's observation, after the thieves successfully "committed" in the market town, they rushed to these joint locations, and they should have to hand over the "work results" to the joint location.

These thieves' joint locations are usually guarded by a small leader, and two or three subordinates serve as guards, and the number of people usually does not exceed 5. However, it is worth mentioning that these thieves are undoubtedly 3rd level thieves, while the thieves' small leader is 4th level thieves! Last time Yang Rui came, he almost got caught in a thieves' joint location!

“Huh…huh…”

Yang Rui and Qi Zhenggang flashed into the house of the stronghold, and the sound of two weapons breaking through the air immediately sounded in the ears of the two! The whereabouts of the two were already mastered by the people in the house!

"ah!"

"Clam! Clam..."

In the flash of lightning, Yang Rui had only time to swing his gun to block the dagger that was slashing his neck. Qi Zheng had already used the tiger roaring spear technique to put his opponent to the ground and kill him with one blow!

This is the strength of a junior general! Facing the third-level soldier Yang Rui can only resist and cannot make a few rounds, but Qi Zheng can kill the other party as soon as possible. The difference in strength between the two is immediately judged!

After overturning a thief with one shot, Qi Zheng did not stop. He instantly gave another shot and stabbed Yang Rui's opponent in the face. A beam of cold light burst out from Qi Zheng's spear tip, blew through the surrounding air and made a tiger-like roaring sound, and rushed towards the thief quickly.

"ah!"

Another scream came out. Although the thief dodged very quickly, Qi Zheng's spear was faster! The thief did not escape Qi Zheng's spear and died in front of Yang Rui.

"What are you?"

A small thief leader sat at the window inside the house. He was a little confused about the situation, but seeing the two subordinates died instantly under Qi Zheng's men, the little leader instinctively knelt down and kowtowed!

"Good man, please spare me! Good man, please..."

Another thief who was about to rush up saw that their little leaders had knelt down, and then he knelt down.

Such a situation development was something Yang Rui didn't expect! So much so that he didn't react for several seconds. He just knelt down like this? Is this considered surrender?

"Good man, please spare your life! The villain is helpless and just wants to have something to eat. He also asks the hero to show mercy and let the villain have a way out..."

Yang Rui hadn't thought it thoroughly yet, but the little thief leader in front of him kept kowtowing like pounding garlic and never stopped. Even the thief behind him kept kowtowing and begging for mercy...

Although these thieves are all at level 3 or even level 4, they are much less courageous than bandits, bandits, water thieves, etc.! They are just thieves, and most of them are stealing business. If they really encounter desperate things, they will naturally be invincible!

"Do you want to reform and serve me?"

Seeing their appearance, Yang Rui asked tentatively.

When the thief leader heard Yang Rui's question, his eyes were rolling around, but he was stunned and did not agree, and he didn't even say anything begging for mercy.

Seeing this, Yang Rui knew that the purpose of subduing the thieves would not be so easy to achieve, so he gave Qi Zheng a color.

"Click..."

Qi Zheng rushed towards the thief behind the little leader and threw it at him. This time, Qi Zheng used the gun bar to sweep across the barrel. Although there was no gun light, he used more than ten years of strength. The thief's neck broke with a sound.

"ah!!!"

The screams of the thief's young master sounded behind the little leader, which scared him so much that he shrank his body and trembled on the ground, which showed that he was very frightened!

However, the thief leader never let go. The thief leader only stated that if the thief leader could surrender to Yang Rui, they would be able to agree to the conditions proposed by Yang Rui! Otherwise, they would be retaliated by the thief leader, chased, or even killed the whole family.

I think the current system settings should be like this. The small leader does not determine the autonomy of the camp attributes. Therefore, no matter how Yang Rui threatens or persuades, he cannot make the small thief leader follow him.

However, Yang Rui also got some useful information from the thief leader. According to the small leader's explanation, after the thieves "finished their work", they will first hand over the "trophies" to the hands of the little leaders, and then the little leaders will summarize the "harvest" for a whole day, and finally hand it over to the thief leader!

There are 10 thieves like him, and each 50 thieves follow him. Each person's daily task is about 500 copper, which is a small number compared to the market town where he is located, and it is not very easy to complete.

Of course, if you encounter a "fat sheep", the situation will be different. According to the explanation of this little leader, except for the part that needs to be handed over, the rest can be controlled at will! So these thieves still have some goods in their hands!

Look, Qi Zheng killed three 3rd level thieves, and the amount of money he exploded reached more than 20 silver. He is considered a very valuable existence in the third level troop!

It was not until this time that Yang Rui had time to read some skill books and weapons that the three thieves exploded.

"Dagger Advanced: Thieves Level 3 Skill Book, which can upgrade ordinary 2nd-level soldiers to 3rd-level thieves, and requires a building: Thieves' stronghold!"
