Chapter 363 Capture the King to Subdue the Bandits

However, she felt that these people's attacks were not as simple as those of ordinary civilians; they seemed to be very systematic.

Moreover, her one hundred German Shepherds had all come to support her. Without any need for her brothers to call them, they would actively attack the invaders.

Although the barbarians did not gain much advantage under the fierce onslaught of the dogs, they wielded shiny large knives.

The dogs desperately protected their home and inevitably got slashed by the enemies when they couldn't dodge in time.

Even so, they still used their last bit of strength to bite the enemies tightly, refusing to let them escape.

The villagers who rushed over might have encountered such a scene with the barbarians for the first time. If it weren't for Village Headman Zhao maintaining some composure and rallying everyone to fight together, they might have been scared stiff.

However, thinking about their homes possibly being ravaged by these barbarians, their morale was instantly boosted, and they charged forward with hoes and other tools.

The shouts of battle grew louder and louder, and the Mo brothers and the dogs were breaking through the enemy lines like a hot knife through butter.

However, the villagers appeared much weaker, and many of them were getting injured.

Second Sister-in-Law saw her father and brothers in the ranks of the villagers. They were all scholarly men who could not even bind a chicken, but today, they picked up hoes to join the battle to protect their homes.

Every time she saw a villager fall, she worried if the next one would be her father or brothers.

"Mother, why don't we join the fight too?"

As she spoke, she revealed the anesthesia gun in her hand and aimed it at the enemy according to what she had learned.

However, this was the first time Second Sister-in-Law used the anesthesia gun. Although she understood the principle, she lacked practice.

She held the gun and aimed for a long time but didn't hear her mother-in-law give the order, so she couldn't bring herself to pull the trigger.

Meanwhile, after observing, He Zhiran also noticed something peculiar.

The reason this group remained calm was that someone was directing them from behind.

Her position wasn't very high, but she could see a flag waving behind the barbarians.

These barbarians changed their formations or targets based on the frequency of the flag's movements.

In other words, the person holding the flag was the overall commander of this group.

To break this situation, the solution was simple: capture the king to subdue the bandits.

In the past, He Zhiran might have chosen to use mini crossbow darts to solve the problem.

She estimated the distance to the flag and realized it was beyond the range of the mini crossbow darts.

In such a case, a weapon with a longer range was needed.

Thinking this, He Zhiran quickly entered her space and bought a heavy crossbow with a longer range from Taobao.

This type of crossbow wasn't as portable as the mini crossbow darts, but it had a longer range and more weight.

He Zhiran was certain that if she could accurately locate the commander, she could deliver a fatal blow.

She surveyed the surroundings and found a large rock nearby.

He Zhiran carefully climbed onto it, and this position allowed her to clearly see the head of the commander.

For her, this was enough.

He Zhiran raised the heavy crossbow and aimed at the commander's forehead.

With a "whoosh," the arrow shot out like a meteor and pierced the commander's forehead in an instant.

The flag that had been continuously waving disappeared from her sight.

Sure enough, after the flag vanished, the barbarians quickly lost their composure.

Even so, they showed no intention of retreating and continued attacking the Mo brothers and others.

The Mo brothers also noticed the change in the barbarians' behavior; their attacks became disorganized.

Without hesitation, they hoped to eliminate these barbarians with their combined strength.

Despite their bravery, the Mo brothers would take a long time to defeat each one due to the overwhelming numbers.

They couldn't even protect the others.

Although the villagers' attacks achieved some results, their injuries were becoming more severe.

He Zhiran had assumed that without a commander, the barbarians would flee automatically.

However, they showed no signs of leaving.

Moreover, when she observed the barbarians from the rock, she noticed that they were all emaciated, suggesting they were severely hungry.

He Zhiran deduced their mindset.

They probably thought, "Since we'll starve to death anyway, we might as well fight here."

In other words, their large-scale journey over the mountains was merely for food.

Unfortunately, they chose the wrong method.

There are countless pitiable people in the world, and using violence to make a living is not at all worthy of sympathy.

He Zhiran is not a selfless saint; at this moment, she only hopes that her family will not be harmed.

Especially since the fighting is happening on the Mo family's territory. It cannot be allowed to be trampled by outsiders.

It seems she can no longer avoid showing herself.

Fortunately, she has been idle lately and used the toxins from the rainbow frogs to create quite a few sedatives.

These sedatives, compared to those made from silver ringed snakes, have a milder effect, but they are sufficient for dealing with these people.

At this point, it was impossible for her to continue hiding.

He Zhiran climbed down from the large rock and quickly walked toward the scene of the fight.

The location where Seventh Brother was fighting the barbarians was relatively closer, so He Zhiran called out as she walked.

"Seventh Brother... Seventh Brother..."

Hearing his sister-in-law's voice, Seventh Brother exchanged a few moves and then retreated.

Meanwhile, the women of the Mo family also noticed her arrival.

"Ninth Sister-in-Law, don't come over here, it's dangerous," Third Sister-in-Law shouted. She didn't know what had happened, but someone who should have been in the Imperial City was here.

However, her first thought was to ensure Ninth Sister-in-Law's safety.

Old Madam Mo also saw her disobedient Ninth Daughter-in-Law.

She knew better than anyone that Ninth Daughter-in-Law was resourceful. Since she could appear here now, she wouldn't listen to anyone.

Therefore, she held back her scolding.

He Zhiran couldn't afford to explain much to the women. As she approached Seventh Brother, she quickly handed him several packets of sedatives.

"Seventh Brother, follow my instructions."

Seventh Brother felt the items in his hand and instantly recognized them.

When Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, and Ninth Brother went to the Imperial City, Ninth Sister-in-Law had prepared such small paper packets for them, said to contain a sedative for emergencies.

Seventh Brother nodded solemnly at He Zhiran. To prevent the barbarians from harming her, he deliberately unleashed powerful moves, pushing back the barbarians who were drawn to him.

He Zhiran returned to the large rock and released the sleeping rice ball from the space.

"Honey, it's time for you to help." The situation was urgent, and she didn't have the patience she usually did, getting straight to the point.
