Chapter 1404: Chapter 613 Under Gourd Mountain

While the Crow Tribe Clan Leader was still fervently calling for donations within the tribe, Mu You had already set out with his men and surrounded the valley where the bandits were located from several directions.

"Is everyone here?"

Mu You shouted in the group.

"We’re here, we’re here..."

"We’re also here..."

"Third squad in position, ready to act at any time..."

...

People answered in a hubbub. The forces he had called upon were mostly in place. The few who hadn’t arrived had encountered some unavoidable trivial matters and couldn’t make it in the short term.

Mu You counted the number of people, and there were 1901 at the scene.

Nearly two thousand people surrounded less than eighty bandits, more than enough.

"Then let’s proceed with the original plan. All forces will encircle from their directions according to the plan and wait for my order... There are just two requirements, first, keep ’Low-altitude Combat’ mode activated at all times to prevent the bandits from flying away; and second, don’t kill them, try to capture them alive," Mu You instructed in the group.

"OK!"

"Understood..."

...

Everyone responded in succession.

Mu You didn’t say any more. These two thousand people were the elite players from Dawn City, and completing these basic requirements shouldn’t be a problem.

Meanwhile, in the valley across from them.

"Boss said he’s wrapping things up at the Crow Tribe, how come he hasn’t returned?"

Dozens of bandits gathered in a concealed cave, discussing among themselves.

"There’s no news either, could something have happened?"

"I don’t know..."

"Should we go back and check?"

"No, Boss told us to stay in the valley for the next few days and not go anywhere..."

...

While the bandits were discussing, a sharp chirping of a bird suddenly filled the high skies, echoing unceasingly throughout the valley.

All the bandits’ eyes lit up: "It’s Boss’s whistle, Boss is back..."

But before they could rejoice, they understood the message conveyed by the chirping and their faces turned pale.

"What? Boss said we’re being surrounded?"

"Hurry up and find out what’s going on?"

A bandit immediately blew his own Sparrow’s Whistle to inquire about the specifics.

Soon, a response came back and everyone hurried to distinguish the details.

"Boss says... the Crow Man and the Fool have joined forces! The Crow Man has given away our information, and now it’s the Fool who’s besieging us?"

The bandits were somewhat surprised after hearing this.

"But how would the Crow Man know where we are?"

As if to answer their question, outside the whistle continued to sound.

"What, there’s a traitor among us, someone has secretly joined the Crow Man and has been passing messages to them all along?"

The bandits were shocked, rapidly spreading out, each looking suspiciously at each other as if everyone could be the traitor.

"Damn it, who the hell is it? If you have the guts, stand up!" one bandit cursed angrily.

The surrounding bandits looked at each other in dismay; naturally, none came forward. However, the looks they gave each other carried even more wariness.

"Boss, who is the traitor?" Seeing trust crumbling, a bandit quickly blew the whistle to ask.

"It’s not clear yet; there may be several traitors. Now with the help of traitors, the Fool’s army has pinpointed your location and is encircling you, their numbers in the hundreds of thousands... Run!"

After hearing the information from the whistle, the bandits were panic-stricken.

Several bandits near the cave entrance instinctively flew out with spread wings. However, just after flying out less than a hundred meters, it was as if they had hit a wall of air and plummeted to the ground from mid-air, crashing down with heads bleeding.

"No-fly Zone?"

The bandits were terrified, now completely believing their Boss’s words.

"Boss, we can’t fly out!" a few bandits frantically sought help with their whistles.

"Don’t panic, you’ve been surrounded by the Fool; now you can only escape by land. Fortunately, the Fool hasn’t discovered my position just yet. Next, I’ll direct your escape..."

"However, since there’s a traitor, and the traitor is carrying something that can reveal your location, it’s best to split up and escape in groups of three. If you get captured, it means there’s a traitor in that group!"

Upon hearing this, the bandits gave each other yet another mistrustful look. Although reluctant, the best strategy proposed by the Boss at this moment was to agree.

"Hei Gou, Old Eight, Han Jiu, you three take the path on the east side..."

"Chu Wu, Deliverance, Oil Paper, you three follow the stream on the west side..."

...

Mu You had previously memorized the information and titles of these bandits. Now, he was calling them out one by one, separating them into groups of three onto different paths.

Of course, the paths he directed them to were actually traps prepared by the Fool...

The valley was vast and although it seemed like the Fool had many people, distributed within such a complex terrain, they were still stretched thin. Capturing all the bandits with such few hands would be impossible without some behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Now under Mu You’s command, the seventy-five bandits, divided into twenty-five teams, stupidly moved towards the positions where the Fool had congregated.

Suddenly, the sounds of combat and shrill cries of distress started to arise from all over the valley.

"Boss, we’ve been ambushed! There’s a traitor in our team!"

"We’ve also been ambushed, there’s a traitor in our group of three too..."

"Damn it, I knew you were the traitor, die..."

...

Sad news spread quickly among the bandits as nearly every group encountered the siege of close to a hundred Fools. The Fools in all directions were equipped with several players skilled in ’Low-altitude Combat,’ so the bandits had no chance of flying away to escape.
