Chapter 300 - Some Peaceful Time (2) (2/2)

When I was tending to Midnight inside the stables, I heard a familiar sound from the sky, it was Tempest. I walked out and looked up the sky that is not getting dark.

'Leon.' Tempest called me telepathically.

'What is it, Tempest?' I replied also via telepath.

'I saw some shady men beyond the north east of the village's vicinity.' Tempest replied.

'Shady men?' I asked and was in thought. I remembered Brad's story about the notorious bandits preying around the southern woods. 'Is it those shady men?'

The north eastern part of the village was the main entrance where Brad is stationed to stand and keep watch for the night.

'These bandits are full of themselves to march in directly at the entrance.' I said.

'Well this village is not really something that the bandits would worry about.' Tempest replied. 'They would not know that the villagers have hired mercenaries to guard them from these bad men.'

'They also picked the wrong village to raid tonight.' I said with clenched fists. 'Our group is here to rest, and they just find the right time to attack.'

I felt anger that my wife might be in danger once more. I promised myself that I will not let what happened in the lake happened again. I will not let Alicia be in danger once more.

'How far are these shady men? Show me.' I ordered Tempest.

My eyes were linked with Tempest in no time. I saw men shuffling under the trees, lurking in the dark. They were still quiet, not yet making any actions.

'It looks like they are wary of Brad and his men.' I said.

Brad and some of his men are seen stationed in the entrance of the village. By the looks of it, they are fully armed and guarding the entrance.

'They will not attack just yet. We still have time.' I concluded. 'Tempest, stay there and report to me every move they make.'

'Okay.' Tempest replied.

After our connection was severed, I quickly walked towards Chris.

”Chris, we have a problem.” I said to him with a serious face. He was taken aback with my change of attitude.

”What is it, young master?” Chris replied.

”It looks like there is trouble lurking at the north eastern part of the village.” I said. ”The bandits that the mercenaries were talking about just a while ago are planning to raid this village.”

Chris' face changed from a peaceful one into a surprised one in an instant. But then, he regained his composure and stood up in attention.

”What are your orders, young master?” Chris asked in an attentive voice.

”Gather the men, we will hold a briefing.” I ordered. ”Do it in haste. I am afraid they are planning to attack when the night has come.”

”Yes, young master.” Chris bowed and called for the men to assemble in haste.

We have to be prepared before these notorious bandits started their attack. I am planning to end them while my wife is still taking her nap.

”How dare they attack so boldly.” I seethed my anger. ”They picked the wrong village to raid tonight.”

I can feel anger rising inside of me. Just thinking that my wife is again in the vicinity of danger because of these notorious bandits.

”I am surely going to wipe these bandits off the face of this continent.” I clenched my fists hard. ”They will know how the 'Black Devil' inflicts fear on the people that goes against him.”
