Chapter 74 - The Alliance of the Bandits Group and the Damage (2/2)
After cleaning out the treasure vault of the mountain tigers bandits group, he came down the mountain to meet his troops and then continued his journey. Also, one thing that surprised him was the fact that none of them had witnessed the phenomenon that happened when he found the eye of the red lightning dragon emperor.
None of them saw when the sky turned red and the nine lightning dragons that had appeared in the sky. It was as if he was the only one that saw it. Even though he did not understand what really happened, he was still very happy about it. If all the people within the continent had seen it, it would have be very bad for him as he would have attracted too much unwanted attention.
After traveling for half a day, he had finally made it to Ozuna city where he was warmly received that the current Marquis of the city and the population. The marquis had even thrown him a huge banquet to celebrate his arrival.
He spent two days within the city and tried his best to get a clear picture of the southern region. The Marquis was very cooperative, he has given him a detailed map of the southern region and also marked every spot where there was a bandits' group lair, the name of the bandit's group and how many men they had.
Unfortunately, on the 3rd day, before Shad could really grasp everything, something inconceivable happened. All the bandits' group that usually seemed to be hostile with one another suddenly formed an alliance.
To celebrate their alliance, they burned a small town to ashes and killed everyone within it indiscriminately. That piece of news shook the whole southern region, especially the people from Ozuna city.
With all the bandits allied themselves together, they had the manpower to stand up against a big city such as the Ozuna city, not to mention the other small towns and villages.
As soon as Shad heard that news, he knew something was amiss. He thought that they had joined forces to attack Ozuna city where he was saying, However, it wasn't the case.
He realized that when they suddenly burned the second village and killed everyone in it as well. Seeing this, Shad quickly left Ozuna city to hunt them down before they could make any more damages.
However, it seemed like he has been a step too late, and couldn't prevent the third village to be burned and all the people in it to be killed.
After calming himself down, Shad turned around to look at the people behind him and said in low voice. ” All you form a group of four and go to nearby villages and towns. Once you notice the targets, killed them brutally without mercy and leave only one for questioning. If you can't handle them by yourselves, crush this tracking magic talisman and I will come to your aid.”
Shad's voice was filled with anger and hatred. There was an extreme killing intent in his eyes as well when he was looking at the members of the Lightning Corps, but the killing intent wasn't directed to them but for the culprit behind the scene. Nonetheless, the hearts of the Lightning Corps including the four imperial knights jerked when being stared at by a gaze like this, and for no reason, they felt their entire bodies go cold as if they'd fallen into an icy pit as boundless terror gushed throughout their bodies.
The members of the Lightning Corps as well the four imperial knights possessed extremely abundant experience in killing, and they were able to discern the killing intent emitted by their supreme commander was so piercingly cold that it was even denser than their own killing intent by a hundred times. Their supreme commander was like a devil of slaughter that had walked in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
” Yes.” Nonetheless, everyone mustered their courage and accepted their orders solemnly, and then they formed a total of four groups with an imperial knight as the leader before they disappeared in the forest leaving the supreme commander with the young lady.
