Chapter 445 - More Bandits (2/2)

Alex quickly opened the door on his side after hearing the woman and walked out as he took out his steel sword too.

'Try not to use Sword Intent,' he told himself. He didn't want to reveal something like that in front of the strangers here.

”Haah!” a bandit shouted as he charged towards him. He held a sword in his hands and swung it directly at Alex.

'So weak,' Alex thought when he saw the man's high Organ Tempering realm cultivation base.

Alex didn't even dodge and directly hit the incoming sword. The bandit's sword bent in half and flew out of the bandit's arms. The bandit himself fell onto the ground with fear creeping up in his eyes.

He tried to get back up, but his hands kept slipping on the dried leaves on the ground. Finally, he got a grip and managed to turn around and run back into the forest.

Alex looked around and saw that the bandits were being beaten up left and right. This was a very weak bandit group and was definitely out of luck.

On the other side of the caravan, Alex could hear shouted of agony as screams rang out from time to time.

Another man jumped at Alex, but he was kicked directly on the ribs and sent flying away.

Alex then looked around and saw that there were no other bandits here.

He looked at the two men who had the bandits with broken limbs, laid sprawling on the ground.

”Do we leave them like this?” Alex asked.

”What? You want to help them?” they asked mockingly.

Alex didn't say anything and looked at the bandits with a little shocked expression.

'The ones from the princess' caravan always killed people no matter what though,' he thought.

The caravan was starting to move so he got onto the carriage. As soon as he entered, he was assaulted with a heavy smell of blood.

He looked at the old man, whose body was mostly covered in blood.

”Damn it old man, You don't need to kill them. You could've just broken their bones and left them. Why did you have to go on a bloody massacre?” the woman asked while incredibly annoyed.

”Hmph,” the old man said and minded his own business.

”Dammit,” the woman turned around, not wanting to face the bloody old man.

”Sigh, you didn't go psycho on the bandits, right?” she asked Alex.

”No,” Alex said as he shook his head. ”But I'm quite surprised that you guys leave the bandits alive. The caravan I was in about a month ago didn't do that. Every bandit group they came across, they would kill them all,” Alex said.

”Killing all bandits? That must be either the Royal Fu merchant group who don't hire anybody and instead uses national guards as their guard.”

”Or it could be the Victorious Snow merchant group. They are known to have ruthless guards all the time,” the woman said.

”We on the other hand don't do that. For one, we don't like killing people a lot. Secondly, you don't want to be known as the bandit-killing merchant group.”

”That only draws out the worst in every bandit you meet and they end up attacking you with the intention to kill even when you can't fight them,” she said.

”I see,” Alex said. ”The merchant group came from the capital so it must have been the Royal Fu merchant group. Yeah, they killed every single one of the bandits.”

”Alright, let me know if you are injured. If you're not, rest up. There will be more of such fights throughout the night,” the woman said.

Alex nodded and closed his eyes to wait for the time to pass. He desperately wished that he could log out and go get something to eat, but it didn't seem like he could get any chance now.

He just had to wait until he was back in the city.

A few hours passed, and the people shouted outside once more.

”BANDITS!”
