Guxuan plans to find a town first, and then look for bandits, robbers, horses and thieves to kill them with the town as the center. While expending experience, they accumulate original funds. After gathering a team of troops, they will go to suppress the hidden places of the robbers. The hamlet is the base camp of bandits and robbers. It is difficult to fight, but it contains a lot of food and money, and can also gain a lot of influence and reputation. It is one of the fastest development methods in the early stage.

Building a castle requires a lot of influence and reputation. The influence of small robbers is too little. First, kill the large robbers and horse thieves and their hiding places and accumulate a certain amount of troops. You can find the lord to take tasks everywhere as a mercenary, or directly find a lord to be loyal to his vassal. At that time, you will continue to fight, kill, accumulate reputation and influence. When you reach a certain level, you may be able to obtain the rewarded territory of the lord. Then you can directly build a castle on your own territory, which is also a way to complete the main task one.

Anyway, the main task is to build a castle, and there is no limit. You must have the ability to directly snatch other people's castles by force, but that requires a lot of troops.

The place where Gusian came seemed to be at the junction of the Gobi Desert and the desert, with endless sand and gravel everywhere. It was not the desert, but I didn’t see a few green spots. Only a few trees that I occasionally saw stood alone on the wasteland.

This kind of local resources are extremely poor. Even if the grain is planted, it can only be produced in some places with water sources. The yield is still limited. It is a bit unstoppable to establish a territory here.

Gu Xuan wiped the fine sweat beads on his forehead, and at noon the hot sun released its power to the fullest. The already hot wasteland seemed even hotter. The breeze blew into a forceful heat wave. Gu Xuan, who had lost his indestructible body, could not avoid sweating.

In such places, except for a few drought-tolerant animals and plants and local desert natives, no civilization is willing to set foot in this barren Gobi.

The reason why Dat Village was built in the Gobi Desert was not because they were willing, but because their lord moved them there. There was a young man named Le in the team transporting supplies, the son of the head of the village of Dart. He said that the lord of this Gobi Desert turned out to be a great nobleman of the empire. He failed in a struggle and was chased to this barren area. It took hundreds of years to build a desert city, several towns, and dozens of villages in the Gobi Desert, becoming the only human lord in this desert.

The human lord was named Tayander, an earl with two vassals under his command, thousands of troops and more than one hundred cavalrymen.

Le envied Gushen's martial arts, saying that if he was under the lord, he would definitely be able to make a name for himself and become a knight.

Gu Xuan smiled. In the eyes of ordinary people like Le, the Knight Master is already a very noble figure, but in fact, the Knight is just an introduction to the basic aristocratic system and can barely get involved in the aristocratic side. The premise is that the Knight has his own fiefdom.

Le also said that in this desert there are many evil aliens and robbers and horse thieves. Those hateful aliens appear in groups every time. They will kill all the people, grab all the food, burn the villages, and only the lords will protect them.

Interracial!

Gu Xuan kept this in his heart, and it was obvious that this world was not simple.

Le didn't know much, but he knew more than Gusian. He intended to learn about the situation in this area from the words of young people.

At this moment, one of the two militias who had been walking in front suddenly reached out and shouted:

"Enemy attack!"

The convoy stopped immediately, and all the militia pulled out their weapons and surrounded the convoy. The three imperial recruits recruited by Gushen quickly approached him, and retreated to the convoy like a fire.

"Ka, da, da..."

Gu Xuan listened with his ears, and a dense sound of horse hooves came from a distance. He soon approached him and saw more than 20 big men riding horses wearing gray sandproof cloaks running from a distance, splashing large pieces of dust on the dry gravel ground.

These more than 20 horse riding bandits all looked extremely strong, carrying a long spear in one hand, and a few horses with a leather sleeve hanging beside them, with a few short javelins inside, with a ferocious face full of flesh and grinning and spread around them.

Leading was a man with a fine chain mail exposed under the gray cloak, with a long slanted scar on his face. From his forehead to his chin, he looked extremely fierce. He pointed the spear in his hand at the convoy that was terrified and laughed:

"The convoy stays, and people can get out."

"Oh my God, it's the Jackal Syndicate, it's over."

The young man looked frustrated, and the other militias also lost all their fighting intentions. Not only the name of the horse bandits, but also... More than a dozen militias were crushed in themselves when facing more than twenty horse bandits. The entire convoy was normal, and even the three recruits recruited looked frightened.

Gu Xuan's face is normal because he is strong enough and confident, and...

"Tip: The path of heroes is destined to be full of hardships. Every hero will face various dangers before growing up. Task - defeat the horse bandit Syndicate!"

“Rewards: 500 experience, 5 reputation, 5 influence, 1000 dinar.”

"Yo He! Is there a mission?"

Gu Xuan was very surprised. His first battle before was not as good as he imagined in the first battle mission. He thought there was no mission, but it turned out that there were ones, but the previous battle might not be triggered by the table.

Since the mission was triggered, there is no need to say what happened to these bandits. They must be completed. He is now missing anything.

Thinking of this, he held a spear in his back hand and walked towards the bandits step by step, which immediately aroused their alertness. The leader named Syndicate swept over him and frowned, pointed the spear and said:

"Today Syndicate is in a good mood and let you go, but you have to resist. Syndicate doesn't mind taking a few more heads."

Seeing this, the village militia that had been curled into a group quickly shouted:

"Gu, come back, they are all cavalrymen, we are not their opponents."

Gu Xuan could hear the voice of the militia leader, and it was obvious that they had decided to lose money and eliminate disasters and give up these three trucks of food.

But he was not happy. How could he give up after finally getting a task?

The spear in his hand raised and said loudly:

"The warrior's commitment is above everything else. I said I would escort you to Huangsha Town."

"Yo, there are also such warriors who like to talk about chivalry!"

Syndicate turned around and laughed at his subordinates:

"Brothers, what should we do when we meet this chivalrous warrior?"

"Send him to meet the God of Desert!"

All the bandits shouted in unison, Syndicate turned around with satisfaction, leaned forward and looked down at Guxuan and said:

"For your courage, I will give you a decent way to die!"

Speaking of this, his face turned solemn, pointed at Gu Xuan in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"I'm syndicate, I'm going to fight you, are you accepting?"

Um!

Gu Xuan looked strange. The bandit actually loved this. Of course, he was willing to accept such a formal challenge. He just happened to try how much his current physique was left after being suppressed by the world rules.

"I accept your challenge!"

He raised his gun and bowed back. When he looked up, the sharp sharpness in his eyes flashed like an arrow. Syndicate subconsciously narrowed his eyes, felt a terrified heart, and grabbed the javelin pot tied to the horse and pulled out a short gun and threw it out.

And Gushen did not dodge as if he was unable to react. Syndicate was happy and pulled the reins and slapped the horse's belly with his legs. The mount knew how to move his steps and began to accelerate and charge.

"puff!"

The short javelin hit Gu Xuan's chest and bounced out directly. He quickly grabbed it. He opened the pierced leather armor and looked at the chest. There was a small white seal, which was not broken. But Gu Xuan was not too optimistic. He could clearly feel that if the power was even greater, it would be possible to break the defense. From this, it can be estimated that his current strength could block ordinary swords, but he could not resist the powerful crossbows, charge cavalry, and heavy weapons of siege, not to mention, it would definitely not be able to block it.

"This suppression...is a bit exaggerated!"

He took a step forward and moved two meters away from the syndicate's charge. He wanted to try the impact of the cavalry just now, but now it seems that it will be embarrassing if he is shot through the chest.

One shot will definitely not die. After all, no matter how strong the suppression is, the physical strength is still there, but injury is inevitable. He is not interested in trying the taste of injury.

Syndicate is the leader of the big horse bandit in this area, with more than 20 horse bandits under his command. In this era when cavalry was king, he came and went freely with this cavalry. As long as he did not attack the castle town, no one could stop him and had no opponents.

Until today, this time he fell, and it was very miserable. He didn't expect that someone could use his own strength to block the charge of the cavalry.

When Gu Xuan turned his horse's head and charged for the second time, he avoided the piercing spear, but instead directly fitted and hit him.

He was hit by the horse and took two or three steps back, but the charger was hit and flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

Then, he rushed forward and shot through Syndicate's throat. A bright red blood arrow burst out. The horse bandits watching the battle around him reacted. One of the strong men as strong as a bear shouted:

"Brothers, kill him to avenge the leader!"

Gushen took off Syndica's spear, which was much better than the one in his hand. He pierced through the neck of a horse that was charging forward with one backhand. The powerful impact force made the spear slightly bent but not broken. He slid out a nearly half meter-long foot-shaped groove after pushing him, and the horse fell to the ground with all his might.

As for the horse thief, he rushed out and fell behind him with the force when he was hit by the war horse. He got up and shot him and only pierced his leather armor but did not hurt him. He turned around and kicked him more than ten meters away and lay on the ground without moving.

The spear swung with a dull sound, and the whipped war horse was flying in dust. The huge horse body flew into the air and nearly meter and fell to the ground and couldn't get up. The knight was pressed down on the horse and could not escape for a while. Gu Xuan was forced to be shot by other bandits who rushed up and poked the horse thief to death.

Such violent methods, even these fierce horse bandits had never seen them before, really scared them, especially the leather armor of Gu Xuan was torn to pieces but only a few small holes on his body did not even flow much blood, which directly caused them to lose all their fighting spirit. In addition, the leader was dead, and I don’t know who failed to charge in one round, and ran out without looking back. The other horse bandits also fled one after another, and soon only saw the dust raised by the horse’s hooves.

Gu Xuan patted the dust on his body and stood up, but he didn't chase after him. All of these horse bandits were riding horses. At most, he caught up with one, which was meaningless.

Looking back at the convoy, all the militia were shocked with their mouths open. This scene was like a myth for them. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it. Le opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.

Gu Xuan smiled and turned around to pack up his spoils, including three desert horses. This is a good thing, and it can be sold at a good price whether it is used for your own use or for sale.

In addition to the spoils, the mission was also considered completed, and he gained 500 experience, 5 reputation, 5 influence, and 1,000 dinars, which was enough for him to go to the nearby Huangsha Town to recruit twenty imperial recruits to fight for himself.

As we can see in this battle just now, we cannot fight the army alone. We just luckily killed the leader of the bandits, otherwise it would not be as easy as before.

There are only 20 wandering horse bandits, and they are generally equipped without strong crossbows. If they were replaced by a large number of troops, they would definitely not be able to handle it alone, and they would have to have subordinates to help the battle.

At this time, he found a prompt on the corner of his eyes. He clicked and found that one of the three recruits he recruited could be upgraded, and could be upgraded from a second-level imperial recruit to a third-level imperial infantry or an imperial shooter, respectively melee and long-range.

This is strange. He remembered that these three subordinates had not participated in the war just now, so where did they get the experience?

I looked at the system prompts curiously and soon found a missing prompt. It showed that the soldier was more courageous than the other two. When Gu Xuan knocked a horse bandit away, he happened to fall not far away. He plucked up the courage to go up and finish it with a knife. That's how experience comes from.

A new recruit went beyond the level and killed a horse bandit equivalent to a cavalry, and his rich experience immediately promoted him to a higher level.

Gu Xuan thought about it and upgraded him to the Imperial Sagittarius.

He also considered that in the early stage, he was basically fighting on the bandits, and it was mostly small-scale battles. He was fine with melee combat. It was easy to get more shooters to shoot in the back. Only when the battle scale increased in the future would he consider promoting a group of melee infantry to cannon fodder.

As for the powerful cavalry, it is at least a level 4, and it cannot be equipped on a large scale at this stage.

In this real game world, not only players can upgrade, but anyone can upgrade. Even a level zero farmer can upgrade to a level one militia and then to a level two imperial recruit. If it is another country or other race, it is another name. The next level of the recruit is divided into two routes: melee and long-range, while the cavalry is a level four-level army. Moreover, the upgrade requires the preparation of horses by yourself, otherwise it cannot be upgraded to a cavalry.

Just like the game, when Gushen confirmed to upgrade, a light fell to cover the recruit. When the light disappeared, the standard sword in his hand had disappeared, and he turned into an archer wearing leather armor and holding a short bow with a quiver on his back.
Chapter completed!
