Chapter 546 - Being Used (2) (1/2)
Seeing their target, Peter speeded up. Auron and the other soldiers tried to follow up. However, their speed was slower than Peter.
The young man saw Peter dashed towards his group. He became more panicked. The man that wreaked his plan twice could not keep up with this new face who was chasing him. Even a stupid man would know that this new face was obviously stronger.
The young man's groups ran like they were about to die. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they ran, Peter and their group's distance became closer instead of farther.
Although Peter's speed was fast, it still took some time to cover the distance. Moreover, his target was also moving away from him.
The chasing continued for another 5 minutes when Peter was close enough to the person at the group's back.
Meanwhile, the person at the back of the group was very scared. He tried to increase his speed. However, his speed was already at maximum. In a panic state, he slipped and fell down to the ground.
That person was the young bandit that reported the attack. As the bandit fell down to the ground, his body was scratched and was in pain. However, he could not think about the pain. Instead, he quickly got up and kneeled down while facing Peter.
While Peter was still two meters from him, the young bandit began to cry for his life and beg for forgiveness.
Peter saw this young bandit, but he didn't bother with him and ignore the young bandit who was still kneeling. Peter passed the young bandit, followed with Auron and the soldiers several seconds later.
Auron eyed the soldiers behind him and gave the sign to capture this young bandit. He knew that this young bandit was only small fry.
Meanwhile, the young man's group, who was in the lead, began to see their goal. ”A little more!” The young man murmured to himself.
In front of the young man, two high cliffs were close to each other. There was a narrow passage between the peaks.
This passage was actually the primary path for a merchant caravan. If they used this path, they could cut their time by almost half. However, one of Skuld's base operations was around this area. And, this passage was Skuld's favorite raiding spot.
As time passed by, more and more merchant caravan got raided here. The news spread to all of the merchant caravans that intended to pass here. To avoid getting raids, the merchant caravans decided to take a detour and took the longer and safer path.
The young man's expression was hopeful as he was getting closer and closer towards the passage. If he could pass or at least this passage, then he could use the soldiers stationed here to stop the man from chasing him.
Peter raised his hand. He grabbed the bandit's cloth who was at the back. Then, he pulled and threw the bandit behind him.
