Chapter 27 (1/2)
The Uncle and the Bandits (part 4)
It’s not like I have an abnormal hobby or anything, but the drama before me was really too fun.
Unable to restrain my emotions, I set out a wooden stool, took out some snacks, and crouched in the nearby undergrowth, looking outwards.
I plan to go and see the taichi that the Hero Academy’s princ.i.p.al has. If I could, I would not hope to use it.
“Bayerman, come and fight!! You smashed up my place, yet you still look like you want to talk?”
“Brother Ludao, that’s where you’re wrong. We already have a prior agreement——”
“Nonsense! You invited your underling to destroy my home, and he nearly choked me to death! You said you wanted to tear down my house and slice me like meat!! Today I will make you see that I, the head of the Barker family, am not to be trifled with!”
“Brother Ludao, cool your jets. You don’t really believe that with that many people, you can deal with me, do you? We should chat first.”
“What’s there to talk about! Kill them all!! Don’t even let one remain!!”
Bayerman was the commander of the bandits, he wouldn’t have limitless lenience.
“…..Who the f.u.c.k is scared of you, you fata.s.s pig!! When I kill you, the whole town will be mine, your father’s! Shanzhu, Mark, Dove, Kaqi! Come to me! Bring me their heads and be rewarded!!”
Four people, upon hearing his command, immediately commanded the crowd to attack from all sides. According to what me and Shanzhu had planned, I was supposed to kill Bayerman, who was isolated and without help. But I was never actually sincere in being that guy’s little brother. This plan was just wind pa.s.sing by my ear. Right now, leaving Bayerman alone still has some use.
The sound of killing never stopped. The four troops of the four commanders quickly cut into the private soldiers. For a hillside battle, the troops on the lower position will have an overwhelming weakness. Combined with the great skill of the commanders themselves, killing the soldiers was just like chopping firewood to them. They had the overwhelming advantage in the battle. The morale on Ludao’s side was obviously flagging.
It hadn’t been three minutes when the people right next to Ludao were completely dead.
The bandits’ strength could be seen. Although Ludao had the greater numbers, they were just strong, ordinary people. The majority could not even use magic, while the bandits’ side had troops led by the four commanders that were extraordinarily brave in battle.
“M-monster!”
Near Bayerman, I could see a fl.u.s.tered Ludao exhibit an expression of terror.
“I, I’ll give you money! I have lots of money!”
Bayerman loftily grabbed Ludao’s hair. As one living high looking down, he said:
“Eh? We’ve already gotten all the money. You aren’t looking very pretentious now, huh Brother Ludao?”
“That is, it’s you guys who are in the wrong! Okay, if you apologize right now, I will forgive you. How about that?! We can reinstate the contract from before……wuwa!”
Bayerman cracked his neck and pounded Ludao’s mouth with his fist.
Ludao’s two front teeth were immediately knocked out, and his mouth filled with blood.
Afterwards, Ludao’s beating began. While beating him, Bayerman cursed:
“Die you fat pig. You’ve never done any good for me!!”
“n.o.bleman? You actually believed that I, your daddy, was ever afraid of you? Ah? Just cause you were praised once or twice, you think you’re all that?”
Very quickly, Ludao’s nose bled and his face swelled, and his whole body was covered in wounds.
If I was a hero, I would have rushed in earlier to stop him.
Because heroes need to save all people. They would save Ludao, beat back the bandits, and afterwards reform Ludao into a good n.o.bleman and make the bandits stand on their own two feet. Perfectly saving everyone.
This is the mission that heroes must undertake.
But I am just an ordinary uncle.
Thus, I gripped my cloak tight and watched wide-eyed as Ludao was beaten to death without an inch of steel.
This is the best outcome for him, and as far as I am concerned, the best results.
n.o.bleman Ludo was killed by the bandits. This was using outside strength to fight against the law. This is the best method I came up with. I, of course, also thought about saving everyone, but I chose the more stable method.
Because I don’t believe that love can accomplish everything. I am not young anymore.
So long, Ludao.
As a piece of s.h.i.+t that preyed on other people, you deserve what happened to you.
“Next should be you, Shanzhu. You’ve been starting to look left and right all s.h.i.+ftily. Isn’t it because you’ve been conspiring against me?”
What a keen intuition.
I suddenly grabbed my sword and stood up, exiting the tree.
“Who are you? You don’t seem like Ludao’s underling……that breastplate, you’re Shanzhu’s person!”
“That’s right.”
I spoke and walked over to Shanzhu’s side.
“You idiot! Why’d you come out just now! Do you know what happened, our best opportunity was——”
Without even looking, I threw a low punch that blew him away several meters. Shanzhu’s two feet were stuck deep into the mud, and he fainted bonelessly, like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
“Bayerman, I want you to meet someone.”
Mademoiselle Specter came out from behind me.
“You? You are…..ah ah ah, you are the person from the forest two years ago. What now, have you come to take your revenge on me?”
“Master!!”
On the other side of the undergrowth, Ka Luona and Little Elan riding on Little Hairball appeared.
“Are you alright, master!? The enemy’s numbers is too much, we have come to support you.”
“I don’t need it. Stay there and wait for me.”
I looked at Bayerman with a displeased face.
He obviously committed excessive actions, but this man was still smiling.
