Some people did try to resist, but neither stones nor arrows could hurt the infantry formation below. The rolling logs thrown down also lacked power due to the slope being insufficient, and were easily stopped by the tools used by the private army who had been prepared. Then they watched helplessly as they rushed to the gate of the stronghold... and placed explosives.
The Empire has been stealing Earth's technology for so many years that the weapons used to attack city gates have long since changed from bulky battering rams to lighter explosive packs.
The ingredients used were simple black gunpowder mixed with sugar. One pack of explosives weighed a full 25 kilograms, which was somewhat excessive in power to deal with this inferior earthen wall built of mud and stones.
After placing the explosive packs, the infantry phalanx slowly retreated. At the same time, crossbowmen shot at the top of the wall through the gaps in the shield formation to suppress the bandits on the wall. After retreating to a safe distance, the elite archers fired a rocket at the explosive packs, igniting and detonating them.
Then there was a loud "boom" and the gate of the stronghold and this section of the city wall were blown to pieces. At this moment, some bandits reached unprecedented heights in their lives (physics).
The battle was over from the moment the gate of the stronghold was blown up.
The soldiers who rushed in encountered only sporadic resistance, and the remaining bandits collectively threw down their weapons and surrendered, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands and becoming prisoners.
Inside the mountain stronghold, the surprise attack force that broke in from the tunnel quickly suppressed the situation internally and did not let a single bandit escape.
In the chaos, Woluf was the first to be hit, and was hit by a spinning kick from Yoel, and he was unconscious on the spot. He was later found by the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield and dragged to Dick like a dead dog.
Seeing that the other person was still breathing, Dick raised his hand to control the water element and condensed a water ball, which he splashed on the unfortunate child's face, helping him to quickly regain consciousness.
"You're awake."
"Who are you?"
"Haha! You sent your men to assassinate me, but you don't even know what I look like?"
"You are...you are that what governor!?"
With a bruised face and nose, Wolf shook his head, and only then could he see clearly the appearance of the beautiful boy in front of him. Based on his "professional habits" developed over the years as a human trafficker, he mentally evaluated him as "top-quality goods".
Many wealthy people like this kind of thing. I heard from my cousin who is the second in command of the Sea Tiger Gang that in the wealthy southern coastal area of the empire, an aristocrat specially built a small island in the outer sea and raised many "little chicks" like this on the island to entertain those dignitaries.
For someone with such stunning looks, it doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman.
"two thousand……"
"what?"
"I'm telling you, if I sell you to the Sea Tigers, I can earn at least 2,000 gold coins. If those pirates sell you to those perverts in the south, they can earn three times as much."
Knowing that as a bandit leader, he would surely die if he fell into Dick's hands, Woluf simply chose to throw in the towel. Instead of begging for mercy, he deliberately made provocative remarks, trying to provoke the other party to kill him.
As soon as he said this, the private soldiers around him were very angry, but Dick did not show an angry expression as Wolf expected, but spoke with a smile.
"Your vision and business acumen are not good enough! I am the son of a duke, a magician, and have the appearance of a half-elf. If you had any way to get me to the high-end auction in the Maple Kingdom and use these gimmicks for publicity, those rich, idle, and elf-crazy Maple nobles would definitely fight over me at the auction and bid tens of thousands of gold coins. But now you tell me that you can only make a mere two thousand by letting me fall into your hands. Do you want me to pity your stupidity?"
"..."
Wolf didn't expect Dick to hit back at him from this angle, and was speechless for a moment.
Dick waved his hand and told his men to take good care of the man and take him back. He did not directly "dispose of him harmlessly" as he had done with other bandit leaders before.
Because Dick will be able to use this guy when he deals with the pirate group in the north.
At this time, a centurion came over to report that they had found the place where the Blood Wolf Gang was holding the hostages, and there were more than 300 people.
However, the Blood Wolf Gang's attitude towards hostages is not as brutal as that of the Vulture Gang. Because these hostages are their "commodities", they need to ensure that they are alive and in good condition for shipment, so they can get a minimum guarantee of food and drink, and will not be abused as long as they do not escape.
"Most of them are children. Do you want to... release them first?"
The centurion who came to ask for instructions was a young man. Perhaps he was kind-hearted and felt sorry for the imprisoned children, so he took the initiative to ask whether they should open the cage first.
But Dick thought for a moment and told the centurion not to release them in a hurry, but to open the cages one by one and take out the sick, injured and weak children first, and hand them over to the medical team for treatment. The others should stay in the cages and not move, but he should try his best to calm them down, provide them with some water and food, and he would go over to check on them later.
"We can't release all of them at once, otherwise the situation will easily get out of control."
After giving the other party a few more instructions, the young centurion had just left when Dick saw Blake (Black Gun Dai) coming in from outside, reporting that the situation outside had been brought under control, but this battle was relatively fierce, so the casualties on the enemy were also relatively serious.
The result was that they only captured less than a hundred prisoners. Some useless bandits were properly "dealt with" by Blake before the medical team arrived to avoid any complaints from a certain female doctor.
In the previous bandit suppression operation in the east, Dick had some minor conflicts with Shizuka Marikawa from the medical team over the way they treated prisoners.
Natasha was easier to deal with, after all, she had been a leader of a resistance organization. Although she felt that Dick's treatment of the captured bandits was indeed a bit brutal, she also knew that these scums deserved their punishment, and Dick could still reason with her. However, Shizuka Marikawa, who had never participated in the battles of the Vulture Gang, had a somewhat inappropriate virginity.
Because in order to save medical supplies, Dick would order his soldiers to finish off the seriously injured and disabled bandits. After all, even if they survived, they would not be able to work in the labor camp. Dick would not waste food to feed such scum, and would rather send them to hell to repent.
But Shizuka Marikawa felt that this was inhumane and that these bandits were guilty and should be tried, but as a doctor who had taken the Hippocratic Oath, she could not just stand by and watch the wounded die.
Dick felt speechless at the time, so he personally dragged this overly naive female doctor to the bandits' dungeon to broaden her horizons. He also told her several real cases that were creepy enough to be described. Marikawa Shizuka was so scared that her face turned pale.
After that, both sides actually took a step back. Although Shizuka Marikawa still did not completely agree with Dick's approach, she would not stop him anymore. Dick, on the other hand, asked someone to do it more covertly.
After all...out of sight, out of mind!
After the Blood Wolf Gang was wiped out, the only remaining gang in the western mountainous area was the Deer Head Gang, and there were also some villages that had connections with the bandits that needed to be dealt with.
It took Dick and his men five days to send the captives, rescued people, and gold and silver treasures from the Blood Wolf Gang's stronghold back to the castle in batches. During this period, Dick also discovered some interesting things.
While Dick was sightseeing in the bandit's lair, he accidentally discovered that this small fortress was actually built on the basis of an ancient elven monument. The hall where the cells were arranged had many ancient murals on the walls. Dick even found some content about the Snow Kingdom and the Winter God Ajax, which showed that elves had settled here at that time.
However, just as Dick was studying these murals with great interest, he saw Marukawa Shizuka walking towards him with a huff, as if she was going to find him to question him.
"What's up?"
"Dick, I need to talk to you."
"If you mean that I ordered not to use certain medical supplies for wounded bandits, then there is nothing to discuss. An order is an order, and there is no room for negotiation."
"But several of the wounded have infected wounds. If they are not treated properly, they will lose their lives due to worsening injuries."
"So? You want to tell me that a bandit's life is also a life? I remember when I took you to visit the bandit's lair, I should have made it very clear. Being kind to the wicked is being cruel to the good!"
"But I checked the inventory, we don't need this little medicine!"
"No shortage? We have only just finished suppressing the bandits! There are still tough battles to fight. If I give anti-inflammatory drugs to a few bandits now, what if my soldiers get injured and there is not enough medicine? How will you explain it to them as a doctor? If they are seriously injured and die, how will I, as the governor, explain it to their families? It is good to be sympathetic, but you have to know who to sympathize with!"
"You and I……"
After being rudely retorted by Dick, Shizuka Marikawa's face turned red for a moment. Because she really couldn't win the argument, she turned around angrily and was about to leave, but was stopped by Dick with telekinesis.
Dick was really angry now. It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but if someone kept getting angry with him because of this kind of thing, he would not indulge the other person unconditionally.
Waving his hand to signal the guards who were looking at each other in bewilderment to leave, Dick took out his staff and released a silent barrier to cover himself and the "hanging" Marikawa Shizuka, and then used wind magic to blow out most of the oil lamps in the underground hall.
The atmosphere on the scene instantly returned to the eerie and terrifying dungeon state it had been before.
The only remaining chandelier flickered due to the wind, making Dick's sneering face look evil because of the flickering light.
"Dick-kun, what are you doing? Put me down now!"
"NO, NO, NO! Don't even think about coming down until I finish educating you."
"Education? What education?"
Under the puzzled and slightly panicked gaze of Marikawa Shizuka, Dick took out two very strange little props from the space bracelet, a leather eye mask and a small ball with air holes and two ropes.
This was the "gift" Dick received from the two succubus sisters when he took the initiative to take the blame for his elder brother. When the two sisters had a physical connection with Dick, they sensed the blood of the same race and learned that Dick had reached adulthood. According to the custom of the succubus clan, one of them gave him a brand new sex toy as a gift of adulthood.
Dick has been keeping these two little things, and today is the first time he has used them.
So Dick put a blindfold and a gag on Shizuka Marikawa himself and spoke in her ear.
"Next, I will play the role of a bandit and demonstrate in person what will happen to a beautiful woman like you if she falls into the hands of those bandits."
Dick said, and used a mid-level earth magic "Rock Armor", which used magic to form a transparent but tangible barrier on the surface of the body. However, some magicians with strange thinking circuits "improved" the rock armor, increased the size of specific parts, and used it in some not-so-serious "battlefields".
Dick directly modified his entire body size, transforming into a tough guy, and then used the water magic "Mimicry of Sea Monster" to grow eight tentacles.
If Grandol was present at this moment, he would definitely feel very gratified to see his most proud and talented disciple performing magic in so many different ways... No way!
At this time, Shizuka Marikawa was blindfolded and could not see the changes in Dick's body. So when a pair of strange big hands suddenly began to knead her breasts in a very rough manner, she was really scared, and an unprecedented sense of panic came over her.
Even though she knew this was Dick's trick, she still felt scared.
She wanted to beg for mercy and admit her mistake to Dick, but because of the soft rubber ball in her mouth, she could only make a "wuwu" sound and could only helplessly let the other party do whatever he wanted.
Dick first inserted his sticky and cold tentacles into Shizuka Marikawa's clothes, then violently tore the clothes into pieces, and then put her into a very shameful posture, and slapped her unusually plump peach buttocks hard.
"Pity the bandit? Do you think the bandit master will pity you?"
“Woo woo (I was wrong)!”
"I brought you here this time to cure your saintly complex. You should have seen the way those bandits looked at you. Guess how they would have treated you if the guards hadn't stopped them?"
“Ouch! It hurts so much!”
"Scream, scream! The bandits love to hear women scream. The louder you scream, the more excited they will be. They won't show any mercy to women!"
Dick became more and more angry as he spoke, and his movements became more and more violent. His mimic tentacles whipped Marikawa Shizuka's delicate body like a whip, but he controlled the force just enough to ensure that it hurt but not hurt. The effect of the slave contract would turn his anger into Marikawa Shizuka's inner fear.
It was not until Dick heard that Shizuka Marikawa's whimpering had turned into soft sobs that he stopped his vigorous "education" and took off the blindfold and gag.
The female doctor looked at Dick with tears in her eyes, which made Dick feel distressed. He secretly regretted whether he had just gone too far. But for the sake of educational effect, he still asked with a straight face.
"Now do you know how those women who were ravaged by the bandits felt?"
"I know. I was wrong. I'm sorry..."
"It's good that you know you're wrong. I don't really want to abuse you. I'll let you go now."
"Don't!"
Hearing Dick say that he wanted to put her down, Shizuka Marikawa suddenly spoke up to stop him, and then said shyly in Dick's slightly puzzled look.
"Can you continue?"
Dick: ???
043. The Hero in the Mountain
To be honest, Dick really just wanted to cure Marikawa Shizuka's saintly disease at the beginning, so that she would not always waste her sympathy on trash who should not be sympathized. Who knows, one day in the future, she might suffer a big loss because of this, and repeat the story of "the farmer and the snake" in reality.
As a result, there were some minor deviations in the treatment effect, which activated the opponent's "hidden attributes"!
So when Shizuka Marikawa begged him to continue in an almost greedy tone, Dick was speechless.
All right! It's better to love this than to suffer a loss later.
So Dick not only satisfied Marikawa Shizuka's greed, but also used his own flesh and blood, and put in a lot of effort to make the female doctor completely change into his shape from the inside out.
It is said that if the training is not thorough, it is better not to train at all!
Since it was Dick who turned Marikawa Shizuka into this, he has the obligation to take responsibility to the end!
Shizuka Marikawa also completely let herself go. If the rough treatment at the beginning aroused the masochistic nature that had been hidden in her bones, then being violently raped by Dick until she almost had no time to rest on her butt all night really imprinted "submission" in the depths of her soul.
The two of them first carried out the "education" in the dungeon, teaching until dawn, and then moved the battlefield back to Dick's room in the temporary camp. The female doctor bent her head between Dick's legs meekly, with a faint pink heart flashing in her focused eyes.
This is a symptom of poisoning from the body fluids of the succubus. The poisoned person will have intermittent sexual addiction and must take the body fluids of the succubus in time to return to normal. This is also the main reason why the succubus are as beautiful as the elves, but can only take jobs in low-class brothels.
And considering that Marikawa Shizuka and Dick have a master-servant relationship based on a slave contract, unless Dick himself is unable to let go, Marikawa Shizuka will have no choice but to "suck" him when she gets addicted in the future.
Speaking of which, the first time Dick knew that he had succubus blood was when he was fifteen years old. Someone in the magic academy tried to "murder" him and found a succubus sister and stuffed her into his dormitory.
Those bad guys thought that they would wait for Dick to be seduced by the succubus and have sex with her, and then take the administrative teacher to catch them in the act. By then, the school would definitely expel Dick for serious violation of school rules and disgrace to the honor of the magic academy.
As a result, when the succubus sister used the succubus's innate charm skills on Dick, Dick had no reaction, and even his own blood talent was stimulated by the charm.
Only then did Dick realize that he was one quarter succubus, and that his mother was actually a half-elf, half-succubus hybrid, but she looked like a pure-blooded elf.
However, not many people know this secret at present, and even if it is accidentally exposed, it will not pose much threat to him.
The next morning, Shizuka Marikawa returned to work in high spirits and looked normal. However, her colleague, Dr. Natasha, had obvious fatigue between her brows, as if she did not sleep well last night. When she greeted Shizuka Marikawa, her expression was a little unnatural and she couldn't help but avoid his gaze.
Last night, when Shizuka Marikawa went to Dick to argue angrily, Natasha was not there. When she came back and heard about it, she thought the two were going to quarrel again, so she hurried to stop them. However, she accidentally saw a scene she shouldn't have seen, and she was stunned where she was.
Natasha still cannot forget the scene she saw last night. Although the soundproof barrier blocked out Shizuka Marikawa's voice, it did not cover the scene... The boy's back kept hitting the fair and naked body of the mature older sister, while Shizuka Marikawa, who was hung in the air by invisible chains in a shameful posture, did not show any pain on her face, but seemed to be enjoying it very much.
Natasha fled the scene and went back to her room to fall asleep, but she couldn't fall asleep. Whenever she saw Shizuka Marikawa, her mind would automatically flash back to the scene from last night. The scene even changed subtly, and Shizuka Marikawa turned into Natasha herself.
Dick, who was unaware of the sin he had committed and had accidentally betrayed Natasha, was now personally meeting an old man in a fur coat outside the village gate.
The man looked quite old, with a dark face full of traces of time and wind and frost, but his sturdy figure was still tall and strong, with calloused hands and thick joints. Even though he had voluntarily put down his weapons from a long distance when he came, the soldiers following Dick were still alert.
"Are you Caraccio?"
"You are... the new governor?"
Looking at the childish little boy in front of him, the old man named Karacho frowned slightly and seemed a little confused.
