Chapter 26
“That’s a good idea. The bandits nearby are not strong, and they are suitable for you to practice.” After thinking for a few seconds, Athena nodded and said with a smile.
Since Athena didn’t think it was a problem, Locke didn’t hesitate anymore. He stood up and said, “Okay, I’ll ask Uncle Kotter to inform everyone. We’ll leave tomorrow!”
In addition to knowledge of medical material and skill, Asclepius was not interested in fighting at all. He waved his hand and said, “These little bandits will be handled by you. I’d better continue to study herbs, ha-ha.”
He didn’t worry about Locke’s strength. Besides, Athena, the great god, was there, so he didn’t need to worry about them.
After Locke left, Athena and Asclepius also didn’t stay. The two returned to their rooms in the castle.
Locke was waiting for Kotter in the hall.
Seeing Kotter coming, Locke said directly, “Uncle Kotter, I’m going to eliminate the bandits around Lister tomorrow. Tell everyone to have a good rest tonight and we’ll set out early tomorrow morning!”
“Eliminate the bandits?”
Stunned, Kotter didn’t understand why Locke suddenly thought of eliminating bandits.
“That’s right. We don’t have many gold coins left. We can just get some money from the bandit teams.”
Locke nodded with an evil smile.
To get money from bandits…
Looking at Locke’s face, Kotter was speechless in his mind. Others were afraid of bandits and kept a distance, but his master was thinking about how to get money from them!
He felt a little crazy when sounding it.
“Master Locke, we still need to think about it carefully.”
“These bandits are all outlaws. If we go there rashly like this, we will be in danger…”
“Don’t worry, Uncle Kotter. You know me well.” 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼m
Locke understood what Kotter meant. He smiled and said confidently, “I won’t do anything without confidence.”
Seeing that Locke was so confident, Kotter didn’t say anything more. He nodded with a smile and said, “Master Locke, I’ll ask them to prepare now.”
He was now the knight of level 2, and Kerton, Sam, and Becky had become the knight of level 1. In addition, Locke could even defeat the knight of level 2. They were a powerful force.
Even if they met a powerful opponent, even if they couldn’t defeat him, it wouldn’t be a problem for them to retreat unscathed.
Kotter quickly informed the news to everyone. When they knew that Locke was going to take them to rob bandits, they were in an uproar. Of course, after the uproar, they were more excited.
The next day, Locke led Kotter and the others majestically toward the bandits’ fortress, planting the flag of the Capet family.
Athena didn’t follow them to attack the bandit team this time. For this, Locke had no objection to it. Of course, he knew that it was Athena who was training him
They moved very fast. At noon, they arrived the nearest bandits’ fortress, Osburn Bandits.
Osburn, the leader of the bandits, was a dark mage of level 2. As one of the sharper attackers in mage, Osburn had long been known for his ferocity. The strength of the bandit team he established was ranked second among the surrounding bandit teams.
The one who ranked first was the Black Rock Bandits eliminated by Locke, with a fire mage of level 2.
As they kept moving forward, Locke and the others were less than a kilometer away from the fortress.
In the meeting hall of the fortress.t
“Dear chief, there is a team of more than 20 people appearing at the gate of our fortress.”
“The team has several flags with the sign of irises.”
“The leaders are a young man and a young girl. There is no energy fluctuation on the two of them, and they don’t seem to be strong themselves, but the four men behind them all emit a strong aura.”
“According to my conjecture, three of them are very likely to be level-1 practitioners, and the other one may even be a level-2 practitioner. Each of them is holding a weapon and seems to have some malicious intentions.”
A masked bandit reported the situation at the foot of the mountain to the man in a black robe in the main seat.
The man in a black robe was thin, with almost no flesh on his face. It was as if he was directly wrapped in a layer of human skin on his bones, and his arms were exposed outside. It was like a dead branch, and his skin was close to his bones.
He was the leader of Osburn Bandits, the level-2 dark mage Osburn.
“Iris?”
Osburn stood up at once, his dry face twitching violently. The iris was the symbol of the Capet family. It must be Capet, the loser, who was coming!
Angus was defeated by Capet. Even Black Rock Bandits was destroyed. If the battle started, his Osburn Bandits would probably be unable to survive.
Slowly sitting down, Osburn’s face became even worse and his eyes were gloomy. The news that Black Rock Bandits was destroyed was like a bomb in the crowd, shocking all the bandits around.
After investigation, many of the bandit teams thought that this matter seemed to have something to do with Lister. Of course, many bandit teams did not believe that such a large group of bandits could be destroyed by people in a barren place like Lister.
Moreover, it was said that recently the lord of Lister was acknowledged as the No.1 loser of Naton County. Could a loser be able to kill a level-2 mage?
Therefore, they guessed that Black Rock Bandits had offended some powerful practitioners and was killed by others.
There were different opinions about the reason why the Black Rock Bandits was destroyed. But only Osburn knew that the Black Rock Bandits was destroyed by the widely acknowledged loser who was in Lister now!
He and Angus were both from the Brandon family, one of the top forces of Naton County. They had all received the order from the Brandon family to take over Lister, but Angus acted a step faster than him.
“Three level-1 practitioners and one level-2 knight?”
Osburn murmured, comparing the strength of Osburn Bandits and the enemy.
This loser might have a powerful practitioner backing him up, or perhaps a powerful fire mage. After all, in the fortress of Black Rock Bandits, the spy had found a strong aura of the fire element.
“In addition to these, is there any other abnormal person in the team?”
Squinting his eyes, Osburn asked in a low voice.
“No, there are only these people in the team. I especially sent someone to detour from the path to the back of the other party, and did not find anyone else.”
The masked bandit answered affirmatively.
“How dare Capet bring someone here alone? He is courting death!”
A cold light burst out from Osburn’s eyes. He grabbed the magic wand and ordered, “Tell everyone to cheer up. I want to capture Locke Capet alive!”
As long as Osburn caught Capet, there was a hostage in his hand. Even if there was a powerful practitioner behind Locke, he would be afraid of it and dare not do anything else.
He had already spread all the news here to his family. When his family sent a more powerful mage over, no matter who was behind Locke Capet, they would have no choice but to die without a burial place!
