Black Wind Mountain Stronghold Stock Soars

After the great battle, the battlefield was left in ruins.

Jiang Dali, along with the surrendered mountain bandits and his own men, directly occupied Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold.

Flap, flap—

A carrier pigeon swiftly flew out, and before long, it arrived at a mountain hollow dozens of miles away, near Black Wind Mountain Stronghold.

In the mountain hollow, Feng Sihai, the stronghold master of Swift Wind Mountain Stronghold, caught the pigeon. Upon opening the note, his expression changed dramatically, and he gasped in shock.

"Black Wind Stronghold Master is this powerful? Ghost Blade Ji Ming and the others all died by his hand?"

Feng Sihai was almost scared out of his wits by this news, his face turning deathly pale.

At the same time, player Sky Wolf Dawn Moon, dressed in a blue shirt and equipped with a curved saber, received the news that his companions were all dead. He was also utterly shocked and rushed into the mountain hollow in a hurry.

"Stronghold Master Feng, something's wrong!"

Feng Sihai's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly roared, "Of course I know something's wrong! Guards, seize this brat!"

Sky Wolf Dawn Moon was startled and immediately drew his saber. "Stronghold Master Feng, what do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean?" Feng Sihai sneered repeatedly. "Brat, you're quite bold to try and instigate me, Feng Sihai, to deal with Black Wind Mountain Stronghold.

Fortunately, I, Feng Sihai, am not so easily fooled. A remarkable person like the Black Wind Stronghold Master is someone I'd try to befriend rather than offend. Why would I go against him?"

"You scoundrel! You're actually so cowardly and bullying? Seeing Black Wind Mountain Stronghold's power, you immediately surrender?" Sky Wolf Dawn Moon was both shocked and enraged.

Feng Sihai's gaze was sharp as he sneered, "He who knows the times is a wise man. The Black Wind Stronghold Master is far-sighted, wise, and brave, truly a formidable figure.

He also expressed his admiration for me long ago and sent someone to contact me. I accepted his goodwill then, so why would I oppose him? Seize him!"

Feng Sihai roared, and his body suddenly lunged forward, two fast swords like a fierce wind stabbing towards Sky Wolf Dawn Moon.

Although the surrounding Swift Wind Mountain Stronghold bandits were confused, they also felt that Feng Sihai was right.

Compared to opposing the more fierce and dangerous Black Wind Stronghold Master, it was naturally safer and easier to capture the pretty boy in front of them.

Immediately, the bandits shouted and roared, joining in side-by-side.

Meanwhile.

Inside the City God Temple near Mengyin County.

More than thirty players resurrected and emerged, each with expressions of joy and excitement, chatting animatedly.

"We made a fortune, we made a fortune, haha! I just managed to kill four scum from Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold by taking a risk, and now I've earned 40 Stronghold Contribution Points. It was worth dying once."

"The most important thing is that the faction war is over. We all received 50 Cultivation Points, 50 Potential Points, 50 Stronghold Contribution Points, and 20 copper coins. That's the real prize."

"Heh heh, I struck it rich this time. Although my martial arts proficiency dropped a lot after dying, I had only just learned it, so the loss isn't significant."

"Enough with the nonsense, let's hurry up. Don't forget, we've only captured Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold so far. There are two other strongholds, and judging by the stronghold master's intentions, he wants to take them down too. There will definitely be new stage missions."

"Oh, right? Didn't we have two traitors before? Why didn't they revive?"

"They probably didn't fail to revive, but their respawn points aren't near Mengyin County. As expected, those two guys had ulterior motives. But I've already remembered their names, and I'll kill them next time."

As the group of players spoke, they emerged from the City God Temple and were about to rush back to the battlefield, like a fearless suicide squad.

At the same time, players like Hua Kai Jian Hong, who did not die in the battle, posted the rare faction battlefield scene on the Jianghu Forum.

As soon as this scene of a large-scale battle in the Jianghu appeared, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, attracting the attention of a large number of players.

"This is insane! What am I seeing? A stronghold war? Black Wind Mountain Stronghold is too forward-thinking! Expanding so quickly?"

"Most importantly, they won so cleanly. All the players who joined Black Wind Mountain Stronghold got a huge share of the rewards. I'm so envious, why wasn't I born near Mengyin County."

"Polite front row, daily 'WTF'! As a wanderer still loitering outside Wudang, I express my sincere envy to the bandit brothers."

"Damn! Being a bandit has more prospects than us joining martial arts schools. We haven't even started challenging schools yet."

"The key is that the Black Wind Stronghold Master NPC is too fierce. As fellow stronghold BOSSes, the BOSSes of Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold are no match for this Black Wind Stronghold Master. I feel this NPC is very unusual, perhaps a protagonist-type NPC."

"I just accepted the introductory mission for Mount Hua Sect, and suddenly it doesn't feel as appealing. I want to take a carriage to Black Wind Mountain Stronghold and join the bandit army, drinking heartily and eating meat, damn it."

In the main seat of the Righteousness Hall of Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold, Jiang Dali sat with his legs crossed, enjoying the service of two ladies from prominent families, captured by Ghost Blade Ji Ming, who were massaging him. He leisurely browsed the Jianghu Forum, satisfied with the sensible actions of some of the players.

It's essential to create such a significant event to let more leeks see it; otherwise, it's like making a flirtatious gesture to a blind person.

Now that the leeks have seen this major event, it's definitely a huge positive.

There's nothing else to say; I predict that in the next few days, some sharp-eyed leeks will fill their bags with Black Wind Stronghold, quickly rushing in to join.

Coincidentally, the leek players who have joined the stronghold have already been harvested by him twice, and they are lacking fresh blood.

If another wave of people comes now, his strength can improve even faster.

"Reporting to the Stronghold Master!"

Just then, the only remaining mid-to-high-level member of Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold, the accountant, stepped forward, presenting a ledger with both hands.

"Stronghold Master, all the property and resources of Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold have been tallied here. Please review it."

Jiang Dali's eyelids lifted slightly as he let out a "Mm." He casually took the ledger and flipped through it, confirming the accounts were correct.

Because with the fall of Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold to his attack, it had now become his asset.

On his panel, the detailed information of this faction was laid out clearly.

Even if the accountant dared to tamper with it, he would know once he compared it.

"Faction: Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold (Affiliated Faction of Black Wind Stronghold)

Location: Tuo Mountain, by the Tuo River, Mengyin County, under the jurisdiction of Huizhou City.

Faction Members: 76 bandits (71 regular bandits, 5 bandit leaders in the Power Gathering Realm), 1 intermediate blacksmith, 1 stable hand, 3 boatmen, 2 women, 1 accountant, 1 cook.

Primary Authority: Jiang Dali, Black Wind Stronghold Master

Cohesion: 53 (When cohesion drops below 50, bandit desertions and rebellions may occur)

Wealth: 5 gold bars, 1200 taels of silver, 54 strings of copper coins, 3 boats, various supplies of firewood, rice, oil, salt, preserved fish, and cured meat.

Weapons: 57 regular iron sabers, 51 regular hand axes, 10 fine shields, 1 bow that requires 8 stones of force.

Stored Resources: Small iron ore vein.

Mounts: 13 regular horses.

Current Faction Status: Vassal

Faction Rank: Unranked (Requirements for upgrading to the next rank: 1 expert in the Outer Qi Realm, 2 experts in the Inner Qi Realm, 40 individuals in the Power Gathering Realm, 5 special talents, Stronghold Master's reputation reaching Notorious, killing one large fierce beast)."

Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold truly lived up to its advantageous geographical location; compared to Black Wind Stronghold, it was practically dripping with riches.

What pleased Jiang Dali the most was that Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold possessed a small iron ore vein. Even if it was the smallest vein, it was an excellent resource for forging weapons for his brothers in the future.

Furthermore, Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold actually had a special talent in the form of an intermediate blacksmith, which surprised and delighted Jiang Dali.

Thousands of gold and silver cannot buy talent; it is hard to find.

An intermediate blacksmith is more precious than 100 regular bandits.

Iron ore + blacksmith, no wonder Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold's armory was filled with so many weapons.

But now, all of this belonged to him.

However, what brought Jiang Dali even greater surprise at this moment was another sudden development. He looked at the two prompts that appeared.
