Chapter 1552: Charge! (part 2)
That’s right.
Pillage Lorde!
That is the target set by these bandits!
Maybe it wasn’t at first.
But as the three major bandit factions ‘Silver Skull’, ‘Flame Giant’, and ‘Blood Fox’ appeared, the will of the scattered bandits was inevitably influenced.
Not influenced?
Just kill them.
‘Silver Skull’, ‘Flame Giant’, and ‘Blood Fox’, as the strongest bandit factions near Lorde, would not allow any dissent within the bandits. .
Moreover, plundering ordinary people is plundering.
Plundering bandits is also plundering.The latter’s wealth far surpasses the former.
Therefore, the bandits don’t mind robbing their own kind.
As long as they’re not the ones being robbed.
Especially when the three largest bandit factions, ‘Silver Skull’, ‘Flame Giant’, and ‘Blood Fox’, kill the disobedient bandits and keep half of the wealth for themselves, giving the remaining half to the other bandits, all the bandits immediately pledged allegiance to these three factions.
Following the orders of ‘Silver Skull’, ‘Flame Giant’, and ‘Blood Fox’, these bandits attacked the Southern Suburb farms of Lorde.
Pillaging the wealth they had long coveted but could not touch.
After keeping half, they handed over the rest.
This is the rule.
Of course, with rules, there are always those who break them.
However, at this time, the bandits adhered to the rules.
Compared to these farms in the Southern Suburb, the wealth of the entire Lorde is what they most yearn for.
Even if Lorde suffered a disaster, it would be the same.
The wealth within is still unimaginable.
They would not lose the greater for the lesser.
As for whether they can break through Lorde?
All the bandits are very confident.
Because ‘Jason’, regarded as a hero by the people of Lorde, that rumored ‘Night Watcher’, is right in their dungeon.
As for Sheriff Bondi, Holle, and the others?
If they weren’t worried that Lorde had hidden figures, they would have acted long ago.
More than a hundred defense forces, which seem like a tough nut to crack on ordinary days.
But when all the bandits around Lorde gather, with over five hundred bandits, they completely ignore this force of over a hundred, let alone that nearly a hundred of them are recruits. ꞦἈƝÒᛒĚş
In a direct confrontation, these people might wet their pants.
Therefore, when the order to kidnap Taniel came from ‘Silver Skull’, ‘Flame Giant’, and ‘Blood Fox’, all the bandits were excited.
They knew that ‘Silver Skull’, ‘Flame Giant’, and ‘Blood Fox’ didn’t want to wait any longer.
When they couldn’t extract valuable information from ‘Jason’, they naturally had to change their target.
Gotta say, that ‘Jason’ really has a tough mouth.
They tried every method.
Yet he wouldn’t speak.
However, that’s how it is.
So what if he has a tough mouth?
So what if he’s a hero?
A dead hero is still cold.
The bandits have already planned to mock this so-called hero in the end.
So, when Taniel was thrown into the dungeon, they were looking forward to it.
So, when strange noises came from the dungeon, they were very nervous.
Without any hesitation, these bandits rushed towards the dungeon.
They wanted to see what was happening.
Then, they were overwhelmed by a terrifying aura.
In the Southern Suburb farm, all ordinary bandits fell unconscious.
Because they all rushed towards the dungeon.
So, these bandits fell centered on the dungeon.
When Taniel walked out of the dungeon, what he saw were circles of fallen bandits.
Even Taniel, who had unwavering faith in Jason, was stunned at this moment.
"Jason, how did you do it?”
Taniel couldn’t help but ask.
Didn’t act directly?
Was it some kind of secret technique?
But what kind of secret technique could be executed so quietly and on such a large scale?
Even if there is.
Doesn’t it require physical strength?
Or was it a ritual?
But there was no sign of a Secret Magic Array or corresponding items?
It couldn’t possibly be done through sheer aura, right?
Impossible.
Not to mention a friend who just became a ‘Night Watcher’, even the teacher of a high-ranking ‘Night Watcher’, couldn’t do it.
Taniel questioned from the Mystical Side’s perspective.
"Release the hunger.”
Jason responded in this way.
"Release hunger?”
Taniel was stunned, with a puzzled look, completely at a loss.
As the ‘Pharmacist’, the second advisor to the police station, Taniel was completely confused.
However, Taniel soon burst into laughter.
"Jason, you’re telling cold jokes again.”
"Uh…”
"Don’t worry, it’s very funny.”
Taniel tried his best to show a smile.
‘Lord Jason is good in every way, a truly reliable person, except for his cold jokes!’
This was a well-known fact within the police station.
There was also an emergency response plan for facing ‘Lord Jason’s cold jokes’.
Smile!
When you encounter such a cold joke and don’t know what to do, just smile.
Just smile!
This is not about sparing Jason’s face, but out of respect for Lord Jason.
Taniel was doing exactly that now.
Of course, it wasn’t really out of respect for Jason, just simply considering his friend’s feelings.
Cold joke?
Jason blinked his eyes, thinking about his created ‘Purification Ritual’ and ‘Holy Water’.
Suddenly, he felt even hungrier.
Instantly, Jason didn’t want to wait any longer.
"Come out.”
Jason flared his nostrils.
A faint scent drifted from the shadows of the farm in front of him.
Three different scents.
Pretty decent.
This did not surprise Jason.
‘Mystical Side individuals’ becoming bandits was normal in Jason’s view.
‘Mystical Side individuals’ simply possessed powers that ordinary people did not.
This did not mean that ‘Mystical Side individuals’ had particularly noble characters.
However, truly noble people are the most respectable.
Because they not only have powers beyond the ordinary’s imagination, but also the determination to control that power.
For example: the old knight and that knight’s attendant.
Thinking of this, Jason frowned.
Because when the old knight and that knight’s attendant appeared in his mind, he suddenly felt that such a comparison was simply an insult to the old knight and the knight’s attendant.
It shouldn’t be like this.
Sigh.
Jason sighed softly.
He planned to end this battle quickly.
And the three figures hidden in the shadows slowly emerged.
One had an average build, with a rugged face, wearing silver armor, adorned with a black skeleton.
Another was exceptionally tall, standing at about two meters forty-five, bare-chested, with a fierce visage.
The remaining one had their appearance obscured by a hooded cloak, making it impossible to see clearly.
“‘Silver Coin Skull’, the ‘Flame Giant’, ‘Blood Fox’ leader!”
Once the three appeared, Taniel exclaimed their identities.
Taniel naturally knew about the bandit affairs in the Southern Suburb.
Moreover, to better assist Bondi, Holle, Taniel even went to great lengths to study the three.
The leader of ‘Silver Coin Skull’ was of military background; why they became a bandit was unknown. The leader of the ‘Flame Giant’, on the other hand, was a ruthless individual who delighted in tearing people apart alive.
However, the most noteworthy was the leader of ‘Blood Fox’.
The person was not only a ‘Mystical Side individual’ but also cunning and ruthless.
Their actions never left any traces.
Several unsolved kidnappings and murders in Lorde over the last decade were likely connected to them.
"Jason, be careful!”
"They…”
Instinctively, Taniel wanted to warn his friend.
But before Taniel could finish, Jason raised his hand and threw a punch.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind howled, as if the wind itself was roaring.
Amidst the pale grey gust, carrying endless sharpness, instantly engulfed the three in front.
Rip, rip.
In a sound akin to fabric tearing, a sudden burst of crimson.
And then,
Silent.
"They, they, they… are dead?”
Taniel, like a jammed record, widened his eyes in disbelief.
