Rebirth in Against the Gods with The Ultimate System - Chapter 137

Hours before…

The city’s atmosphere was quite solemn right now as an army of bandits complete with weapons suddenly marching towards the city. It sent the city into high alert as well as cause several panics in certain areas even among the citizens as never such an occasion happened in the history of the floating city before.

In front, Fatty Wen sits comfortably in his wagon pulled by high quality horses accompanied by his elite bodyguards. Behind him, almost a hundred plus bandits marching as if they were marching into war. The city folk could only cover behind their closed shops and buildings while observing from balconies above as the bandits marching towards the other side of the city.

One of the spectators knew the incident from this morning was cause by the kids who mysteriously knocked the fatty out. Of course, he was pissed. “I knew those kids from before spell trouble. Openly denying fatty Wen just like that.”

“Yeah, fatty Wen won’t hesitate to use his whole army to capture those kids. They will never be able to defeat all of them.” Replied another spectator.

“Quiet or fatty Wen would hear you.”

Fatty Wen were trying so hard to figure how in the world those kids managed to knock him out but instead of fearing on their offence, he decided to bring the whole army to teach him a lesson. He wanted to show how terrifying he could be if someone offended him. “Hmph, those brats. I’ll get them for humiliating and denying me of those women. I swear when I catch them, I will cripple those women and make them my personal sėx slaves.”

“Oi, you… are you sure they at the other side of the city?” One of the elite guards decided to ask the men who fell with their leader. Seeing him mobilizing such force just to capture some kids was kind of too much. He even heard some of the bandits were destroyed last night by some force, but they went missing in the morning. The elite guards were investigating about this and suddenly heard the callings by their leader.

“Yes…. The little girl lives there, and I heard she was taking care of her sleeping mother. I was going to investigate but we made a deal to the mayor that we won’t step into the city.” The man who made the investigation spoke. That girl was quite famous for going by herself in the mountains to find some herbs but when they tried to capture her, she somehow managed to escape their grasp. They’re even were ambushed by wild animals at some point. Wonder how that happens?

The elite guards simply brushed aside such statement as he heard about the deal. That was their former leader’s era, now its theirs for the taking. Not even a brat can escape their wrath. “Hmph, fuċk that deal. That brat must die one way or another.”

“WEN CHAI!!!” A loud shout suddenly came from the front of the marching army. Then, an old man with a high-quality horse along with some soldiers along with their spears were galloping towards him. He stood there wearing some kind of expensive robes with white hair covering his head including a long beard and facial hair. Everyone in the area knew the man was the city lord of this floating city as he carried the aura of a true leader. The people of the city knew the old city lord were doing a great job keeping the city peace despite being harassed by these bandits at some point. To the point of the people idolizing for keeping the Floating City afloat all this time.

Fatty Wen looked the city lord as if he were a pitiful existence. If it wasn’t for the deal his father made with the city a decade ago, this city would fall under their hands. “Ah, Huan Bei, the pitiful and old city lord. Make way, this boss is going to hunt down those kids in the northern area.” Just like almost all the people in the city, he also carried the surname Huan along with little Xueli as the surname belong to the original creator of this city.

Huan Bei stops in front of him and look at him sinisterly. He never thought of that fat bandit would allow his army to step into the city. “You, your father made a deal to never step foot in the city in exchange we let you do whatever you please outside the city zone.”

“That was my father’s decision. Not mine. If you are going to block my way, then expect a war from us.” Huan Bei was furious that Wen Chai was abolishing the deal he made with his father back then, but he could only keep quiet. The bandits were getting bigger and stronger with each year and the city had no armies or whatsoever to defend themselves. It was expected and one day they are going to take the city from themselves and the city lord had no power to resist them but that doesn’t mean they’ll go down without the fight.

The city lord decided to think about the matter later as he was curious about what happened this morning. “Then, what have those kids done to offend you?”

He heard about some kids openly deny the fat bandit himself but never expected it would escalated to this point.

“That kid refused to give me what I want and humiliate me. Do you think this Wen Chai going to take things lightly?!?” The fat boss replied with a sour look on his face. Then, scanning his look around the majestic city that stood for thousands of years, he smiled wryly before looking at the city lord. “When this boss is done with those kids, this city is next. It’s about time I take that floating island for myself. Might as well build a castle up there.”

“You….” Huan Bei was furious once more. The shielded floating island above was the pride of their city that belong to the ruler of the realm three thousand years ago. No one has ever stepped foot inside it for almost three thousand of years and that Wen Chai wanted to take it for himself?

“What? Are you going to stop me? Do you have the firepower to resist the Mountain Bandits? Bahahaha” Wen Chai proceed to march leaving behind the city lord who was covering his fear with anger. He was even more devastated that the direction Fatty Wen was going was the house he protected for almost a year. The house that houses a beautiful sleeping woman and her daughter.

Huan Bei smashed his fist to the ground causing it to bleed by the stones. He internally cursed his powerless self as he spoke “Miss Lin, I know I promised to protect your daughter after your husband died and you fell into a coma. I know I have to protect her but they are too strong, and the people’s life is my priority.” He was about to go back but he hesitated. The beautiful Miss Lin begged him to watch over his daughter before she fell asleep and if she wakes up and found out that her daughter was dead. She would be devastated. Moreover, inside that house is her sleeping body and he can’t deny that her beauty can attract bad men into sullying her. So, he had to come up with a convincing story that her mother was being treated somewhere but in fact she was asleep in her own house for almost a year. It was a perfect cover up as no one wanted to visit her house as it was raised in poverty. He sometimes sent his servants to nurse her as well as deliver some food for little Xueli, but he had a lot of questions about her after she fell asleep. Also, it is because of those hidden guards, no one dared to approach her house until now.

He sometimes asked Xueli to live at the city lord’s manor but she refused the life of luxury and wishes only for her mother to wake up. In the end, the city lord to let his servants take good care of her mother and her at the same time by giving her some ready made food every day. As long as the little girl was safe, he was ȧssured.

As for her sleeping mother, her beauty didn’t even falter and she didn’t age despite being in a coma for almost a year. She didn’t even need water or food to survive. He suspected that Miss Lin is probably people from the outside world. The rumored people with monstrous strength but no one in this world would believe such a fairy tale. Only those kinds of people can survive in her state.

Instead of going back, he immediately pulled his horse and gallop towards the direction Fatty Wen was going.

“City lord Huan Bei!!! Are you out of your mind?” The law enforcers that followed him instantly chased after his horse. They knew this is a losing fight, but the city lord was determined to go to that direction.

Huan Bei had a frown look on his face as he was actually denying these bandits despite knowing the difference of power between them. However, he just can’t let that little girl taken by them. “I can’t let them die. I promised her… I promised to protect her daughter. I promised their late father to watch over them and I won’t let them die just like that. If I can’t, how am I going to be a proper city lord. ”

Fatty Wen Chai pulled his best men into this hunt and several of them were quite large. He wondered by only a hundred plus shows up with him right now as he had several hundred bandits with him. Little that he knows, most of the men were beaten black and blue during Yun Che’s ȧssault last night but the fat leader himself was drowning in the pŀėȧsurė of women to notice.

Most of the townspeople followed them from behind to see what kind of people offended the mountain bandit’s leader that force him to bring out almost a quarter of the bandits just to capture few people. Behind them, the city lord, Huan Bei was ȧssembling his own army of vanguards after knowing the fat leader’s true intention. He knew this day would come and secretly ȧssembling an army to resist the mountain bandits. He wanted the city to be a free trading city without the merchants harassed by the bandits.

Almost one hundred bandits ȧssembled in front of Xueli’s little house. It was strange though, only a little house and a small shed in the middle of a massive grassy plot of land. It’s like a house in the middle of nowhere. Even if the bandits gathered in front, it was still large compared to the size of the mountain bandit’s one-hundred-man army. Moreover, Xueli’s little house is almost near the edge of the floating island.

Fatty Wen glanced his surroundings before forming up a sinister smile. “Hmph, pretty decent land here. Men, when this is over. We will make this land our forward base before we take over the city. It’s about time the bandits had a footing in this trading city.”

“Boss, what is the first thing we’re going to do in this city once we takeover it?”

The fat boss gave it a thought before he come up with a proper answer. “Hmmm…. Maybe I’ll increase the tax the people must play when they live in this city. A person’s tax. Hahaha… I am such a genius.” It means every people will have to pay tax for their lives. If a person can’t pay it, they will either die or being sold as slaves. He also didn’t forget to tax them for their houses, food or even workplace. Just thinking about it makes him shivers in excitement.

“Don’t forget about protection fee. Boss…”

“Hmmmm, people’s tax and protection fee. Imagine how much wealth we’ll gain if that happens.”

Fatty Wen regained his thoughts again before setting his eyes on the little house. “Let me deal with that kid first. I’ll show everyone here how ‘nice’ I am to the one who opposed me.”

Suddenly, the sound of a wooden door suddenly opened revealing a young man with a modernized adventurer outfit. His cloak dances in the air as he carried a calm expression as he walks towards them. His aura didn’t even carry the aura of an expert and his presence is the same as any other people within the city. Instead of panicking, he slowly walked towards the small crumbled wooden gate facing the army of bandits. He didn’t even have a shred of fear seeing all these intimidating bandits and disregard them as air. His calmness really annoys the fat leader as his attention was focused onto him. As for the fat leader, he still sat on his carriage in the middle of the bandit army. As for the young man, all he wanted is some peace for once and trouble seems to follow him everywhere. Even among these powerless mortals.

These guys…..

Haven’t they learnt enough?

Seeing the kid their leader despised the most is only a brat below twenties, the men around him simply smirks. This kid is the one who humiliate their leader? Even their recruits could beat him senseless. Not to mention his elite armies.

The fat leader named Wen Chai slowly got up a stared at the brat who humiliate him this morning. Not only he was knocked out, he lost his chance to obtain the beauties in his group. Not to mention those girls paled in comparison to the people around the city. “Brat…..You have a lot of nerve defying this lord here. How dare you deny those women from me and humiliate me and my men? Brat… you really sealed your fate by defying me”

The young man sighs before rubbing the bridge of his nose and spoke “*Sigh look…. I am in the middle of a treatment right now and you guys really being a pain in the neck. So, how about we settle this another day?”

The rest of the bandits instantly laughed out loud seeing his false bravado. This kid probably almost scared to death and still wanted to put in an intimidating air. “Boss, he really got guts. Let me skin him alive and presented his head to you.” One of the men beside him draws his sword before ŀɨċkɨnġ its blade. This is the moment where the men could fight with each other to draw this kid’s blood.

Fatty Wen Chai slowly dismount his carriage before moving closer towards Yun Che. Seeing him so close right makes him really wanted to grab him and break all the bones within his body.

“Listen men, I am going to show you how formidable I am if someone defies me. If any of you thinks just like this kid, I’ll promise to let you suffer the same fate.”

“WE WON”T DEFY YOU BOSS!!!”

The young simply observed the fatty boss put tried his best to rally his men against him but seeing him like this makes him wonder whether ordinary people and cultivators were almost the same. Guess it makes no difference. “This guy, is he serious? Should I kill them and be done with it. Wait, wouldn’t want Xueli to think us a killer though.”

“Yuu-kun….. Are you done? I am about to go shopping with Mio.”

“Danna-sama, we’re going to bring Xueli with us. Are you coming as well?”

The sweet and alluring voices instantly turned all the attention of the men towards it. When they saw the source of the heavenly voices, all the men instantly petrified by the sight they are witnessing right now. The sight of two beautiful women instantly captivate all the men and sent them into a ŀusting turmoil. A mȧturė and a cute beauties have grace them with their presence. Who in the right mind would have the power to resist? The same could be said for the fatty leader even if he witnessed these beauties this morning. They could feel their little brother is pulsing down there as if they wanted to take and sully these girls right now. These beauties carried the aura of a goddess with them as they charmed the entire army with their beauties as if their eyes were glued on their hourglass figure shaped by the foreign clothing they are wearing.

“Probably not, I am still treating her mother though. Just buy what do you think is necessary.” The brat in front them spoke as if as he was disregarding their existence.

“These beauties are even more beautiful up close. The red headed one and that cute kid must be inside that house. That’s it…. Boss, let’s kill this brat and be done with it.” One the men who saw them this morning instantly spoke.

Fatty Wen Chai was in a ŀusting turmoil as he was looking up these beauties from up close. He really wanted to take them right now but he really wanted to kill that brat for humiliating him. “Don’t even think about taking them. Those beauties are mine and I’ll kill you all if you dare to touch them.”

One of the beauties had a bored expression after seeing these lowlifes wanted to take them for granted. “Yuu-kun? You need some help dealing with this? If these men annoy you, we can take care of them.”

“Take care of us? These weak beauties wanted to take care of us. Maybe they can take care our swords down there. They need some attention.” Said one of the men looking somewhat vulgar to them. The braided haired girl and the buŧŧerfly clip girl were instantly annoyed. They plan to sit from the sidelines, but these men vulgarities really started to annoy them. Are men like them only thinks women as objects?

Fatty Wen Chai was unable to contain his ŀust and decided to take those women by force, but his tracks soon were stopped by the young man in front of him. “Oi…. Where do you think you are going?” The brat spoke with a bored expression.

Fatty Wen Chai put his giant hand on the young man’s shoulder and wanted to move him but even if he’s massive, the young man however was immovable as a mountain. The fat bandit forced out a smile as he threatened him. “Brat, you better kneel knowing what is good for you.”

“Oh, maybe I do know what is good for me. I suggest you lots better turned your heads away or I am not going to be merciful.” The young man replied still unfazed and unmoved from his position.

Seeing him was still unfazed, the fat bandit called out his armies and they instantly marched towards the small house. “Hahaha…brat… you got some guts. Let me tell you that but you against all of us? Even our new recruits can hack you down to pieces.”

The young man smirked as he looked upon the bandit army before turning towards the fat bandit. “Then, send in your finest elite. If you win, you can do anything you want.”

“Hmph, don’t bother. I’ll take those women and kill you whether you win or not.” The fat bandit replied with contempt.

“Let me do it boss…I’ll kill him slowly.” One of the bandits raised his hand. Some of them volunteered as well.

The men who was humiliated this morning was still sour because of this kid. He whispered to his boss to get back at him. “I’ll do it….boss…” As he heard it, the fat bandit smiled sinisterly. “Hmph, This brat knocked you out this morning right. Show me that you can kill him.”

The man from this morning stepped out from next to his boss before he drew his dagger and point it out to the young man. “My pŀėȧsurė boss…” “Oi brat, I don’t know what trick you used but it won’t work twice.”

However, the young man remained calm and indifferent as he spoke “Hoo…? I won’t bet on it but that move is quite boring if I used it too often.”

“Oh…then let me give you a handicap. Draw your weapon and let’s settle this like men.” The bandit spoke with obvious killing intent.

The young man was still unfazed with such petty threats so instead of drawing any weapons, he spoke”I don’t need to….and by the way… have you heard of ‘One Inch Punch’?”

Bzzzt

The young man instantly appeared in front of the bandit, shocking him with his absolute speed. The bandit was shocked entirely. He just blinked right in front of him and he was too shocked to react properly. By the time he realized, the young man’s entire hand was already pointed right in front of his abdomen where his fingers almost touch it.

The young man didn’t say anything before his pointed hand suddenly formed a fist in a blink of an eye and…….

POW!!!!

The bandit next vision blurry and before he realized it, he crashed onto his comrades sending most of them flying. The rest of them went gawking. With just one punch, he sent the bandit flying straight to their comrades and cause them to fly all over. Before he could say anything, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and felt excruciating pain came from his abdomen. Moreover, he also felt something sharp piercing his internal organs. His entire rib-cage was shattered because of that punch and started piercing his organs.

Such power…..

Such speed….

“Is that brat even human?” The rest of the men thought before some of them slowly growing fears in the hearts. Fatty Wu was instantly stunned. The brat had totally sent his men flying without using a proper punch. He thought he was just some weakling who used tricks to get him but…..

The young man wiped his hands properly before he spoke “I told you…. Send in your finest men but instead you are using a stick to beat a sword. Underestimating me huh?”

The fat bandit gritted his teeth loudly before he shouted “You DARE!!!! How dare you harmed my men? Courting death!!!”

“Oi oi…he was the one tried to harm me…. looks like last night attack wasn’t enough after all.”

“Brat, what are you talking about….?”

One of the elite guards tried to understand the situation before he suddenly remembered something. As his eyes grow wider, he immediately approached the fatty. “Boss… its them….”

“Huh?” The fat bandit turned his head towards one of his elite guards.

“It’s them… now I remembered…. The surviving men last night spoke the same thing.” He spoke with a panic tone earning the attention of every other soldier in the area. He remembered one of the survivors described their ȧssailants looks to them last night and he was really sure those three kids fits the description.

“What do you men spoke the same thing? What surviving men?” Fatty Wen was unaware of the events happening last night where a young man and two women destroyed dozens of their bandits last night. The women didn’t even use a proper weapon while beating those men black and blue but those with weaker bodies didn’t even stand a change.

The elite guard instantly relayed his findings to him. “They speak of a brat and two women decimating dozens of our men last night leaving them with an inch of their lives. They didn’t kill them, but their methods were too brutal. They didn’t even stand a chance. Some of them even succumbed to their injuries last night. Boss, its them….”

The fat boss turned and look towards the brat and the two heavenly beauties. They defeated the forest guards in a span of a single night. He grabbed the shoulder of his elite guards before started to shake him. “That must be a fluke. Those brats couldn’t possibly defeat all those men by himself. You must be joking if I am going to believe that shit.”

Despite shaken, the elite guard’s eyes didn’t even leave the young man as he spoke with a hint of fear. “No, boss…. That brat only joined for a while, but the rest of the men were defeated by two women. Beautiful women to be exact. Some of the men were crying ‘demons’ when they describe them.”

The fatty boss immediately grew a shed of fear as he witnessed the power and heard the reports from his guard, but the young man heard everything before slowly walks to them. “Hoo, it seems that your guard over there know something about us. Now that you knew, I supposed I can’t let each and every one of you go.”

“Bastard, its us that won’t let you and those girls go. You force our hands on this. MEN!!!” The fatty boss put on a false bravado as he refused to believe this very brat was the one who kicked their scouts’ ȧsses last night. It was to unbelievable.

As his men advances towards him, the young man simply kept a calm expression. “Looks like action speaks louder than words.” He instantly vanishes into the air before appearing right above the fatty. With a swift kick, he landed a soft but powerful attack on the fatty’s squishy body before sending him flying towards his men on the back. His big body instantly collided with the men from the back and caused some of them instantly blown away from the impact.

In an instant, the young man slowly rise from the smoke cloud in the middle of the formation after sending the fat boss flying. Right now, he stood in the middle of the surrounding bandits.

“BOSS!!!” The rest of the men shouted but they were shocked at the same time seeing the massive boss was sent flying.

The rest of the bandits instantly dumbfounded as they saw these ladies slowly walked towards them and spoke internally “Are they seriously going to use those things to fight?” What they didn’t know was the rest of the men from last night will instantly traumatized if they saw those things again.

“Sigh….you lots…. Don’t think we leave any bones unbroken.” The young man spoke with intimidating tone before the other two ladies joined him. One of them suddenly pulled something out of their sleeves and if any of the men from last night joined them, they would instantly know what they are holding right now.

With a swift motion, the two ladies from before arrived behind him and they’re carrying something that the men didn’t expect.

A ladle from the buŧŧerfly clip beauty and a frying pan from the braided beauty. A woman’s weapon of mass destruction. The woman with the buŧŧerfly clip tossed passed the frying fan to the braided girl before she spoke “Ufufufu, Retsu-chan, let’s battle to see who can knocked out the most. Loser cooks for lunch.”

The other one cutely nodded her head as she received it. “You’re on, Mio-chan. Don’t stain that ladle though, that thing is one of my favorites.”

“Same goes with my frying pan.”

“Kon-sama won’t get left behind again…..” A streak of light suddenly burst out of the young man’s sleeve before entering one of the fallen bandits. In an instant, the surrounding men instantly saw the bandit’s body suddenly rise as if nothing happened to him but instead of joining them, he stood near the young man and stretch himself as if he was going to fight them.

“Impossible…..he was still fine?”

One of them instantly shouted “Traitor….I knew he couldn’t be trust. He switched side after pretending to fall in battle. I’ll kill him with my own hands.”

Their so called ‘comrade’ suddenly walked next to the young man before he put his elbow on his shoulder as if they are long term friends. Even his voice changed into some kind of a squeaky voice, far different from their comrade’s original voice. “Yare…yare… you guys left me behind and had fun last night.”

“Of all the better-looking men out here and you picked a man with a bad beard and moustache? By the way, you slept like a log last night so I wouldn’t bother waking you up.” The young man spoke after giving him a glance. The bandit next to him spoke “Teme….. Oi bastard…. Let’s fight and see who gets to score more. Loser hunts for food.”

“Sure…At least I knew who’ll lose later on.”

“Cocky bastard.”

The rest of the bandits including their leader immediately went pale as they saw four pair of demonic eyes slowly walked towards them. The eyes that soon brings down a path of destruction for them. “Guess the beatings last night wasn’t enough. Let’s see how you guys will live to tell the tale…..”

And the air was filled by the sound of pitiful screams, balls kicking, sounds of flattening face and most importantly….

Bone cracking….

…………

The city lord, Huan Bei arrived as fast as he could after gathering enough armored forces to fight the bandits, including his own. Despite being old, he could still fight after all these years. He couldn’t gather even three dozen of armored law enforcers, but it was the army that he needed. It was about time the city revolt against these bandits after living in their constant suppression.

Straddling his horse, the old city lord carried his sword along with his armor into battle. In front of the city hall, he rode his horse while exerting an aura of absolute leadership. With confidence, he spoke to rest of the armored men who made their resolve to follow him to battle. “Men, I know we’re fighting a losing battle, but we will not fall this day. If we kill that fat bastard, the rest of the bandits will follow suit.” He spoke as if he was afraid of hundreds of those bandits still hiding in the mountains. The city was quite strategic and to be safe, they could destroy the four bridges connected to the city but for how long? Without outside help, they could still rely on farming and agriculture.

“YES!! CITY LORD!!!” The rest of the men replied with confidence.

“MEN, LET’S KILL THOSE BANDITS!!!!” The city lord shouted to the armored law enforcers along with the city lord began their galloping to the direction where the fat bandit and his army were going towards. He dressed in a full set of armor never thought this day of reckoning would come. His actions cause the rest of the city folk to follow him from behind out of curiosity. Some of them even taking arms with pitchfork and shovels to fight against the bandits and followed their city lord from behind. When the old city lord saw this, he wanted to stop the people from doing so but in the end, he allowed them to continue. He needed all the help that he can. They wanted to see whether this losing battle meant anything to them as the city lord was fighting to free the city from the bandit’s clutch. For years they have been living under their oppression and never expected today that they would rise against them.

“Is this the right decision?” The old city lord asked himself. When he and his small army made their way to confront the bandits, they immediately stopped as two women walked from the direction he intended to go. These women are extremely beautiful and cute at the same time. They also wear a strange type of dress which was never seen by him before. He seen some beautiful women in his life and even married one, but he never seen a beauty so heavenly before. It made him and his men forget their original objective just for a moment, but it was quite strange as these women were the type that fatty would abduct and keep. However, these two walked passes them like they were nothing. Moreover, the fat bandit’s army is now a raging sensation and most of the city folk hide in their home, but these two ladies were too calm when they came from that direction as if they didn’t even care if the bandits saw them.

“Mio-chan, what do you think we should cook for tonight’s dinner? I bet little Xueli’s hungry right now. I am going to feed her lots and lots.” The braided hair woman spoke as she carried a small basket.

“Hmm, we should go with that Teriyaki rice thing. I always wanted to try it. That earlier exercise we had with Danna-sama just bȧrėly even broke a sweat.” The woman with the buŧŧerfly clip responded.

“Ara… we faced normal humans after all instead of cultivators. It wasn’t that hard. The exercise last night was fun compared to this, probably I used my trusty ladle.” The other woman replied.

Seeing the maidens walked past them without any hint of worry in their beautiful faces, the city lord was worried about their safety. He immediately calls them “Excuse me fair maidens….”

“Hai? Can we help you?” The braided woman spoke as she exerts a beautiful aura and sweet voice that captivates the men and the city lord. He knew these women were bound to get in trouble if they were found by the fat bandit and his men. Therefore, all the fair looking women were forced to stay home due to them being easy targets by the bandits. He immediately warns them “It’s dangerous for maidens like you to walk around this road especially with these bandits around.”

The women tilted their heads before the one with the buŧŧerfly clip on her hair suddenly spoke as if she remembered something. “Ahh, you mean them? You can find them if went down this road. Shouldn’t be that far.” She spoke as if the bandits’ presence wasn’t even a bother to them.

“But…it’s dangerous for you to be out here. Especially with you two heavenly beauties.….” The armored city lord wanted to spoke, but the braided woman raised her head before giving him a sweet smile.

“Ara… we thank you for the wonderful compliment, but please do not worry. We can take care of ourselves. Good day….” The braided maiden bows her head followed by the buŧŧerfly clip woman behind her. The rest of the soldiers instantly dumbfounded as these two were too calm and relax despite the rising concern in the city.

The rest of the men immediately followed the city lord behind and the moment they arrived at the intended location. Each and everyone of them immediately opened their mouth. Gaping as they witness the scene before them.

All the bandits were entirely defeated as if they already went to war with unknown forces. The bandits’ elite guards and normal bandits were lying on the ground and some of them being piled with each other. It was like a battlefield except none of these bandits were killed but the scene was entirely brutal in their eyes. Some of them even had twisted arms and the weapons around them were either broken or destroyed. The city lord didn’t even notice the resistance group from the city also arrived before them and they too weren’t able to blink their eyes as they witnessed this scene.

Then, their attention turned to the fat bandit who was kneeling and hitting his head on the ground countless of times before the young man who sat on top of the piling bodies.

“Please…. Magnanimous king… spare this lowly life…. please spare me…. Ill be your slave…your dog… just please spare me…..” The fat bandit was literally crying just like a little girl begging before the man on top of the piling bodies. The rest of them couldn’t believe that this fat bandit who terrorized the city was begging for his life.

What in the world is happening here?
