Chapter 229: The quest (2) (1/2)
( Virtual world , south of Tolaknagar village )
Rudra had been scouting the bandit camp for about 20 minutes now , and had got the location for 16 of the 17 fighters , whereas one was missing.
Rudra had also located where the hostages had been kept , if he wished so , he could sneak behind the guards watch and free the two men. However unfortunately he was undergoing the knights promotion quest , the sneaky way was not the way of the knights , a true knight always faced his enemies with honor , that was the way.
Rudra sighed , he had one of the stupidest classes when it came to class IQ , doing things honorably was soo much more difficult than just murdering everyone and free the hostages.
However Rudra's thoughts were cut short as a small kid playing with pebbles accidentally discovered his hiding location .
The kid was a little malnourished brat with a running nose , he was absolutely terrified when he saw Rudra squatting behind a bush in full armour.
He screamed as he ran back to the village shouting ” MOM , MOM A STRANGER IS POOPING BEHIND THE BUSHES , YOU SAID NEVER LET ME POOP THERE ”.
Rudra ” .....”.
His honor as a knight went straight down the drain in a single minute , he immediately stood up , he did not want any misunderstandings about his squatting posture.
Immediately the bandits were alarmed , as they gathered near Rudra to intimidate him and chase him away.
Rudra , saw the bandits gathering , as within a minute over 13 of them had gathered to Rudra's location.
One of them said ” Begone stranger , else this ground will be where you rest permanently ”.
Rudra laughed as he said ” Bandits , release the innocent hostages and turn yourself in to the local authorities in Tolaknagar village , you have been reported to have stolen food from agricultural fields , and have taken two merchants hostage. Hence in the name of the sun of the kingdom , his high eminence Emperor Aman , I Shakuni am here to bring you to justice ”.
Rudra gave his best knight like speach , one full of honour and pride.
However obviously it fell on deaf ears , as three bandits charged at Rudra. Rudra was not worried , the bandits were no threat to him , in a physical confrontation.
He easily dodged their attacks and kept using non lethal physical attacks like punches and kicks to inflict some damage.
When it became abundantly clear that Rudra had an absolute advantage in combat , another 6 bandits with swords joined the Frey to attack him.
Now against a one v nine situation , Rudra became more vigilant as he started to feel a little pressure.

President Joe Biden was in a conference room with Elon Musk and the other cabinet ministers. Having serious talks about the coming VR Olympics.
Musk said ” The proposition sent by President Shinzo is not bad , I think we should sign it , also we should sign a treaty of alliance, if any one of the trans Atlantic nations have a spot in the top five yearly , they must enforce VETO if requested by the other three nations. That way we will have four times the security and soo will they , it's a win - win for everyone ”.
Minister A : I agree with mr Musk , we should add that clause , the trans Atlantic nations must ally , with four powerful countries like India , USA , Australia and Japan allying we can easily form the strongest alliance.
Minister B : there is already the allied European union , there is also a middle eastern union , and recently It was rumored that , Pakistan , China , Afghanistan and Sri Lanka have formed a alliance ”.
