Chapter 233 - Bandits (2/2)

”According to my map where I managed to gain the areas around here after the Earl gave us a map of the Duchy, we should take this road...after that, just go straight until we reach the bank by the river where we will meet the twenty soldiers stationed at that place who would help us in subjugating those rogue soldiers turned bandits who are currently hiding inside the mountain,” Michael said as he looked at his map while pointing at the narrow path just a couple of meters in front of them, which leads towards a small forest.

[Bandit Subjugation]

Three months, a group of nobles who are not satisfied with how the Earl rules his land had started a rebellion against him, but in the end, they were defeated.

The remnants of the rebels had then escaped and hid deep inside Mount Orlborg and became bandits.

”I wonder why the Earl didn't just send an army to clean them up?” Amanda mumbled to herself.

”We'll know the very reason why when we meet up with the soldiers,” Michael said as he pulled the reins of his horse towards the direction of the narrow path that is surrounded by weeds and bushes.

”Let's go!”

Thirty seconds later.

”I wonder where they are going?”

A man with a dagger strapped on his waist appeared and took a peek behind a tree while looking towards the direction of where Michael and his crew disappeared to.

Swoosh!

The person was just about to get up when the person suddenly heard the swooshing sound of something cutting through air appeared.

'Dodge!' the person thought in panic, but his reaction was a step too late as the arrow accurately struck his head, sending him rolling on the ground.

”Dammit!” the person cursed in anger, and just as he was about to get up and make a run for it, a silhouette of a woman suddenly appeared behind him, and with a sickle raised above her head, she slashed down towards the man's neck like a grim reaper!

Of course, the man wasn't beheaded as it would be too gruesome for a game. Instead, the sickle just passed through his neck while a huge red number appeared above the man's head.

The man then fell down on the ground with eyes filled with disbelief and anger, then his body turned into motes of light and disappeared, as he didn't even bother retrieving his body and revived on the spot, knowing he would just be killed and waste his hard-earned items and experience points.

”It's just another rat trying to take advantage of us during the quest. This is already the third one. Aren't they tired?” Viper said while reloading his crossbow as his silhouette slowly became clearer as he walked from the shadows of the trees on the roadside.

”Another Red Player?” asked Michael as he appeared like a ghost before them.

”Uhmm” Amanda just nodded and picked up the boots and coins on the ground where the player died.

”1 Gold and an Uncommon Grage Boots” Amanda sighed and stored it inside her [Storage].

”Let's continue, we'll just kill anyone who still tries to follow us,” Michael said as he once again summoned his mount as he rode back towards their destination, while Amanda and Viper quickly followed after him.
