Chapter 545 - Being Used (1) (2/2)

The young bandit wanted to follow the young man. However, before he left, he turned around and exited the room.

Outside the base, he could hear the sound of battle already going on. However, the young bandit didn't join the fight. Instead, he went to find the nearest bandit and said, ”The leader had given orders to hold the fort for 10 minutes. No... No... 5 minutes are enough for the reinforcements to come!”

The bandit who received the young bandit's statement nodded his head and immediately leading the other bandits and joined the fight.

On the other hand, the young bandit turned around, entered the base once more, and followed the young man's escape path.

Auron was leading the 14 soldiers and quickly killed all of the bandits around here. Since most of the bandits that attack the village escaped here. This place was the place where the bandits most concentrated in.

All in all, there were more than 100 bandits here, almost 200 bandits. Although these bandits were small fries, this place was the main base of these bandits. Hence, the area was already modified and fortified to support the defender and weaken the attacker.

Fortunately, Auron was not alone. He brought these 14 soldiers that proved to be helpful comrades for him. All of the bandits had a lower level than them which made them easy to kill. The difficult part was only the fact that there were too many bandits here.

Auron slowly pushed through the front line, and he was getting closer and closer towards the base. It didn't last long as Peter's squad arrived at this place after clearing the bandit's base he was assigned to.

With the addition of Peter's squad, the bandits quickly eradicated. In 5 minutes, after Peter's squad arrived, all of the bandits either died or surrendered.

However, Peter and Auron didn't have any time to care about these bandits as the leaders were escaping. Peter quickly delegated some tasks to the soldiers and brought Auron and several soldiers to chase the young man.

Auron was already behind more than 10 minutes from the young man's group. It was difficult to chase the young man with this 10 minutes behind. Moreover, the bandits obviously knew this terrain better than them.

However, with Peter in the lead, Auron and the other soldiers kept chasing. 5 minutes after chasing, Auron could hear a faint sound of metals clashing.

Auron's mood began to brighten while Peter commanded, ”Speed up! The enemies are at the front!”

With that, the group quickly increased their speed. The young man's group met with one of the soldier's groups and was caught in battle.

The young man's group still had the advantage of number even though they were weaker. Moreover, the young man had utilized the traps planted around here to keep their base safe.

It was a tough fight, but the young man's group was the winner by paying a heavy price in the end. There were only less than 10 people left in the young man's group.

When Auron's group arrived at the battle scene, the battle had already over. The young man's groups already continued to escape. Fortunately, from far away, Auron could see the small silhouette of the young man's group.
