Niu Zida, Yor, and Misato Shizuku discussed the night's tactics. They planned to harass the bandits, who had been fighting all day, under the cover of darkness. Since the bandits had suppressed the village, they probably thought there wouldn't be any capacity for external attacks, so they would inevitably let their guard down at night. That would be their opportunity.
"Speaking of which, looking at the daytime battle in that village, there really aren't many young people left."
"They were probably conscripted, right? Didn't Auntie Liddell say that if her husband and son were taken to be soldiers from such a remote home, then this village would have even more people taken?"
Yor was afraid Niu Zida would get cold, so she held him tightly in her arms. This also made it easier for Niu Zida to hold Yor's large breasts and talk to Misato Shizuku. Of course, Misato Shizuku was used to this scene. If it had been when she first came to Niu Zida's side, she would have complained, but now she didn't care. Sometimes Misato Shizuku herself sighed, marveling at how quickly humans adapt to their environment.
They waited patiently until night, eating during this time. Niu Zida ate cheese made by the old woman using Yor's milk, offering some to Misato Shizuku. Misato Shizuku rolled her eyes, preferring to eat some dry rations they had brought. Yor was a little embarrassed, but at her master's insistence, she reluctantly took a bite.
"How is it, Yor, my wife? Your own milk makes delicious cheese, doesn't it?"
"Master, really..."
A little shy and unsure how to answer, Yor could only softly complain, then hugged Niu Zida and said no more. Misato Shizuku, seeing this, coldly snorted:
"Please don't do such disgusting things to trouble Miss Yor, okay?"
"What did I do? I just asked Yor to eat something."
"Who doesn't know how those disgusting things of yours are made?"
"What things? Are you saying Yor's secreted milk is disgusting?"
"You pervert..."
Misato Shizuku realized Niu Zida had found a loophole in her words and used it against her, which might make Yor misunderstand. She was so angry she didn't know what to say. Yor quickly tried to mediate, telling them not to argue. Misato Shizuku could only give Niu Zida a glare and stop pressing the issue. Over these past few days of interaction, Misato Shizuku had developed a good impression of the gentle Yor, but Niu Zida's constant leering at her and Yor, and his demands for certain services, only made her increasingly disgusted.
"Alright, alright, Misato Shizuku, my wife, it's my fault, don't be angry."
"Who's your wife? I haven't acknowledged you as my master yet."
Niu Zida also didn't want his relationship with Misato Shizuku to become too strained, so he took the initiative to soften his tone. However, Misato Shizuku's response was very clear: she would never acknowledge him until she saw his abilities. Although Niu Zida could issue commands through the bracelet, doing so would only deepen the psychological barrier between him and this proud young woman. So, except when absolutely necessary, Niu Zida couldn't use such forceful methods to command her.
They finally waited until night. The bandits had haphazardly set up some tents outside the village, lit bonfires, and rested. Only a few sentries were placed around. Although they were numerous, they were just a disorganized rabble. No wonder they couldn't take the village despite their numerical advantage. If the village had more young people, Niu Zida felt they might have been able to counterattack the bandits with their existing organization, even without his help.
"Let's wait a bit longer for them to fall asleep, then we can begin."
Niu Zida patiently waited for another two or three hours. Gradually, the noisy sounds from the bandit camp quieted down. It seemed most people had gone to sleep. Niu Zida waited for about another hour, and after confirming that everyone was sound asleep, he instructed Yor to carry him, while also ordering Misato Shizuku to attack from both sides.
Niu Zida's tactic was simple: the two would attack the camp from two directions, constantly moving forward, attacking anyone they encountered whether successful or not, always pushing forward. Then, they would turn back and attack again from opposite directions. After repeating this three times, regardless of the casualties inflicted, they were to return to the high ground and regroup, absolutely not lingering in battle.
Yor let Niu Zida ride on the stirrups tied to her waist, holding the ropes on her neck collar. After repeatedly ensuring Niu Zida was securely and stably positioned on her beautiful back, she and Misato Shizuku split up. They quickly eliminated many people with their swift surprise attack, throwing the camp into chaos. After the two had charged back and forth three times as planned, the bandits, who had been sound asleep in the darkness, were completely confused about how many attackers there were. They only felt that under the flickering bonfires, shadows attacked, and people constantly screamed in pain, as if death itself had arrived.
After charging three times as agreed, Yor and Misato Shizuku both retreated to the high ground, watching from afar as flames soared from the bandit camp. Some of these fires were caused by the two women deliberately setting them during their charges to create confusion. At this point, the bandits were unclear where the enemy was, and in their panic, some even mistakenly killed their own comrades.
"Is that enough?"
"Of course. We are few, so we cannot engage in a direct confrontation. A quick charge is enough. Let's find a place to rest and see what the situation with these bandits is tomorrow. After such an unknown attack, I believe they will definitely withdraw. If they don't leave, we'll do it again the second night, specifically harassing them when they're resting."
Niu Zida said this with full confidence. Misato Shizuku, half-believing, half-doubting, followed Yor and Niu Zida to a sheltered spot to rest. When they woke up the next morning, they indeed found that the chaotic bandit camp from last night was deserted, leaving only scattered bonfires and the remains of burnt tents.
"Master is amazing! Did you defeat the enemy just like that?"
"This was just taking advantage of their carelessness and harassing them once. Although your individual combat power is higher than theirs, in a direct confrontation, there are too few of us, and accidents can easily happen. Attacking them while they rest at night is the most economical choice. As the saying goes, 'When the enemy stops, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack.'"
Yor nodded in agreement. Misato Shizuku, on the other hand, just coldly snorted, still feeling a bit unconvinced. Niu Zida knew that such a small victory wouldn't fully convince Misato Shizuku, so he deliberately said to Yor:
"Yor, let me check your stats. You haven't checked them since you got pregnant, have you?"
"Huh? Master, here?"
"Yes, of course. Don't be shy. What part of your body haven't I checked?"
Seeing Yor's shyness, Niu Zida reached out his large hand, rested it on Yor's fragrant shoulder, and slipped it into her red sweater, pressing her large breasts to bring up Yor's stat panel.
