Martial Red Dragon Emperor

Chapter 4 Bandits

Unknown Cave

"Boss! We found one. We found one." Two midgets in green cloaks were screaming in the forest as they ran quickly to a dark cave.

"What did you two find?" A deep authoritative voice was heard echoing in the cave.

"A small village holding about a hundred people. The best thing is that there are no cultivators inside it. Meaning it's an easy picking for us." When the two midgets got closer they saw a group of eight loitering around.

"That is good news. We were running out of supplies. After the last time, we tried to raid a village and failed." Said the tallest sharpening an ax.

"If it wasn't for those soldiers of the Blue Sky Empire hiding and waiting. Our group, the Black Bears of fifty strong men wouldn't have been reduced to ten." Said a man with a scar on his face while reading a book.

"All average soldiers have the strength of a First stage Fighter and the captain has the strength of a Five stage Fighter. Truly we were unlucky." Said a middle-aged man with red hair.

"At least the boss survived. He is a Fourth stage Fighter. With him around doesn't matter how many villagers there are as long as they don't have someone at the same stage, we'll never lose." Said grunt bandit number 1

"Don't forget big bro Yong is a Third stage Fighter and Brother Hai is a Second stage Fighter." Said another grunt number 2

"Alright! Pack up, everyone. We're heading out to play." The man with an authoritative voice walked out revealing a grisly cruel bald man with a massive scar on his chest.

"Right!!!" Was said as the rest of the remaining bandits prepared to set out.

Little Village Afternoon

Issei's POV

It's been a long week, but I finally have gotten used to living in this small village. Sure I had a hard time the first three days with the loss of technology and of easy conveniences. Don't get me started on all the hard work I did to stay at the house. Wu Ying, especially, made it difficult after the first time we fought with me trying to look through her clothes. But that wasn't my fault, she should have known better than to wear a simple robe under her. My god, it's been so long since I lost my porn. I truly miss having my own room for privacy. Luckily she didn't tell the other two about what happened or the way they looked at me would be different.

"Hyoudo Issei, are you done with your share of the farm?" A middle-aged man said as he brought my attention back to our work. We were currently farming a few miles east from the village. Luckily the hill or was it a mountain, we lived in and had a soft flat area where farming was possible.

"Sorry, sir. I'll get it done." Speaking of work, the girls said they wanted to finally eat some vegetables so they made me go help out with the rest of the men to plow the fields. Apparently, the guys of this village don't like women handling this type of work. But to eat from their fields people would have to pay for it or get the man of the house to help out. Luckily for the girls they finally found one to put to work. At first, I thought of it as a hassle, but to my surprise, it was surprisingly easy. If there's one thing that made me happy about my situation was my newfound strength. Turns out being a First stage Fighter allows me to go for hours plowing the fields without getting tired, cutting down trees easily with an ax, or just lifting anything heavy. Another reason must be my common family background of farmers because I kind of enjoy farming.

"Big bro are you done?" the familiar voice of the cute loli Wu Xiao was heard causing me to stop. As I turned to notice the finished work completed. I found myself satisfied with my work and went towards her.
