Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!

Seventh Imperial Uncle's mind immediately flipped through this thought.

Thus, he had no doubts about Duan Gujin's decision.

Shortly after, he ordered his cavalry to decimate half of the bandits.

In his previous life, Duan Gujin knew that the mastermind behind the scenes executed his orders through the Great Leader.

And when he wanted to find this mastermind, the bandits told him that their Great Leader had died; they were merely executors of the Great Leader's orders.

To uncover the truth, the most crucial clue was to find the Great Leader.

Knowing that the Great Leader was not far from here, Duan Gujin thought of luring the snake out of its hole.

The best way to lure the snake out of its hole was to infuriate it.

Only by infuriating the snake would it come out of its hole to engage in battle.

Duan Gujin also ordered the cavalry to forcibly drag the bandits' corpses to a nearby city and hang their bodies on the city walls.

Seeing Duan Gujin's methods, Seventh Imperial Uncle inwardly sighed: "I never imagined that a young man of not even seventeen could be so ruthless!"

His eyes flickered a few times, initially wanting to say something, but he had heard from the previous interrogation that the bandits were utterly evil and committed all kinds of crimes.

So, he let his subordinates carry out the order.

That evening, they began to station themselves in that small town.

Their presence caused panic among the townspeople, but Seventh Imperial Uncle soon calmed them down.

Seeing the strict discipline of the cavalry, the townspeople avoided panicking.

Soon, the townspeople of the small town received orders passed down by Seventh Imperial Uncle, and only then they learned about the curfew tonight.

In order to appease the people, Seventh Imperial Uncle had his subordinates announce that they had eliminated many bandits.

The reason Seventh Imperial Uncle enforced the curfew in the small town was to let the spies planted by the Great Leader among the bandits relay everything happening here to the Great Leader.

Just as Seventh Imperial Uncle predicted, that night, from a corner of the small town, over a dozen carrier pigeons flew out.

Seeing these pigeons, Duan Gujin and Seventh Imperial Uncle let out a sigh of relief.

Duan Gujin knew that the Great Leader, who was very likely to know the mastermind behind all this, was about to show up. This battle tonight would be of great significance to him, he could not afford any mistakes.

When Duan Gujin heard about the many carrier pigeons outside the city, he knew that the Great Leader, leading hundreds of bandits, might launch a fierce attack on them very soon.

Therefore, he instructed the cavalry to be ready for battle at any moment.

Now, fewer than a thousand bandits were still alive, most of them were on their last breath.

For these bandits, Duan Gujin knew their crimes were too numerous to record.

Therefore, he would not let them live to return.

What he intended to do now was to use these living bandits to strike at the Great Leader of the bandits.

If he executed all these bandits, then the Great Leader would retreat.

This way, the Great Leader's subordinates would bear the burden with him, waiting for the day of revenge.

If this really happened, Duan Gujin believed the Great Leader and his followers would become extremely terrifying.

So, he did not kill those bandits he captured, instead, he gave the Great Leader a chance to think he could rescue them all.

During midnight, Duan Gujin, constantly spreading his Divine Sense, quickly sensed a faint Killing Aura passing outside; he knew the reinforcements aiming to rescue the bandits had arrived.

His body flashed, transforming into a stream of light, and he rushed out.

He did not launch an attack on the bandits; he knew it wasn't the time for him to attack them, and he believed it wasn't the best time for the bandits to attack either.

He believed that before the battle, the bandits would also try to infiltrate the city first to understand the situation inside.

Sensing there were two martial artists of high levels nearby, a flash of cold light flickered in Duan Gujin's eyes.

He knew he had changed the future of the Duan Family to some extent, and the future events were no longer predictable.

In his past life, he knew that the Duan Family was exterminated by that group of bandits, and he eventually eliminated that gang, but he did not find the true culprit.

Now, he knew that even if the Duan Family faced calamity again, it would not be by the same group of bandits from his past life.

For Duan Gujin, all he wanted was to find out from the Great Leader who exactly ordered the annihilation of the Duan Family.

Although he had always suspected that Prime Minister Cao was behind it all, he had no solid evidence.

If Prime Minister Cao truly was the mastermind, then he would keep an eye on any schemes by Prime Minister Cao against the Duan Family in the future.

But if the mastermind was not Prime Minister Cao, but someone else.

Duan Gujin knew he couldn't take that risk, thus his greatest hope was to capture the Great Leader and find out from him who directed the bandits.

Duan Gujin followed for a while and soon saw a small group of cavalry emerge in the dense forest ahead.

His Divine Sense spread out, and after 15 minutes, he judged that the cavalry now appearing in front of him should be led by the Great Leader.

Evidently, this group of bandits appeared here to rescue the captured bandits within the city.

Seventh Imperial Uncle had already set an ambush within that small town; even if Duan Gujin hadn't located the spies who sneaked into the town, it wouldn't be easy for the bandits to snatch the captives from Seventh Imperial Uncle's arrangement.

In terms of military force, Seventh Imperial Uncle had already conscripted many locals to serve as night guards.

If there was any enemy movement, those night guards only needed to fire signal flares.

And the real battle-ready force was the cavalry led by Seventh Imperial Uncle.

As time ticked by, Duan Gujin, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally awaited his target.

He sensed someone from that group of bandits who was a Martial Artist in the Sixth Realm; he judged that this person was very likely the Great Leader.

"So his strength is Martial Artist Sixth Realm!"

Duan Gujin frowned deeply, knowing if he had to fight a decisive death battle with the Great Leader, his chances of defeating the Great Leader were very low.

Moreover, with him deep in enemy territory, if those hundreds of bandits attacked him at once, he might find it difficult to escape.

His mind stirred, his body turned into a residual shadow, and he disappeared into the Void.

Now, the movement technique he deployed was the essence of Mad Python Boxing, and moreover, the Great Leader was quite a distance away from him.

Thus, the Great Leader did not sense Duan Gujin's presence.

Until the dead of night, the Great Leader commanded the other bandits to prepare for action.

At night, they naturally chose to sneak into the small town first to achieve the greatest victory with the smallest sacrifice.
