40 Crimson Wolf (1/2)
Rainer walked through the dark woods while Alisha and Lerna followed him, they moved in silence, staying alert due to their persecutors.
”Why are they after us, Rainer?” Asked Alisha, after walking for so long without a break, she looked exhausted.
”I don't know, but we weren't more than an hour in that cave and they already found us...how did they do it?”
Rainer didn't understand how they were tracked.
”Maybe...they are beastmen, it would explain how they found us, they used their smelling sense to detect us.”Said Alisha after considering all the information they had about their persecutors.
”...”
”You are right! That corpulent man was looking for us by smell!”
”Why are they chasing us then? We haven't even entered into the territory of beastmen yet... ”Asked Rainer
”Surely they are bandits, we should be careful...” Alisha warned.
”Don't worry, I won't let nothing happen to you.” He said as he smiled in trust.
”I trust you, Rainer... ”Alisha whispered.
At Rainer's request, Alisha ceased to treat him as his master, which unified them even more after several weeks of fighting side by side.
...
In a cave near Rainer's location, a group of fifteen men were resting while they conversed...
”Boss, are you sure they are anywhere near here?” Asked a thin man, with a large scar running through his eye and right cheek.
”Don't you trust in me, Scar?” The corpulent man grunted.
”It is not what I meant Boss! You, the Crimson Wolf, could not be wrong!” Scar replied quickly, fearing to upset his boss.
The Crimson wolf, the leader of an infamous bandit group that operated near the border of mankind, after hearing reports of an abyssal beast, they left their former lair and decided to flee to another territory.
When they were crossing the border, their boss detected the smell of two persons! After following their trail, they were able to find a luxurious carriage.
”They must be rich!” They thought.
”That's a Lorren clan crest, they are a small border clan,so this will be easy” Said Crimson Wolf as he licked his lips.
Crimson Wolf was an infamous group of bandits, thefts, **** and murder were their most common crimes.
The strength of their boss,allowed them to do whatever they wanted in minor clan territories.
This wouldn't be the first time a young master of a minor clan has been robbed and killed by them.
...
”Sniff Sniff...I'm smell them! They're close, it' s raining a bit, but we can catch them!” Said Crimson Wolf.
