The huge conference hall was filled with the leaders of Black Rock Bandits. There were three seats in the front, Elsie on the left and Second Leader Leth on the right.
Looking at Elsie who looked like a loser, Leth sneered, “Elsie, you were beaten up by a loser and ran away, almost losing all brothers. You’re getting worse and worse.”
“Even if it were you, it wouldn’t be much better.”
Elsie snorted and said with a long face.
The others had already been accustomed to the tit for tat between the second leader and the third leader. At this moment, they just sat silently and did not dare to interfere.
However, when they saw the wounds on Elsie’s body, they were still a little shocked. Even the third leader had suffered such a great loss. Was the rumored loser so powerful?
At this time, Angus also came in.
Seeing Angus come in, everyone stood up and greeted him. In Black Rock Bandits, Angus had absolute authority.
Angus didn’t say anything else after he sat down. He looked at Elsie directly and said, “Let’s talk about the situation.”
“At first, we had already broken into Capet’s castle. We thought we were sure to win, but Capet suddenly appeared at this time and grasped a mysterious strength. This strength is very powerful. I am not a match for it even a single move in head-on-head fighting.”
Speaking of the mysterious strength controlled by Locke, Elsie’s eyes were full of fear.
“In the end, Sir Jacks mingled with brothers and planned to do a sneak attack on Capet. However, Capet resisted Jacks’ fireball spell with his strength, which could be said to be unharmed. Finally, he killed Sir Jacks.”
Elsie told them what had happened to him. Thinking of how powerful Locke had been that day, he was a little shocked.
“Mysterious strength? What kind of strength can directly hurt the level-1 warrior?”
“It not only defeated the level-1 warrior but also resist the magic at level 1.”
As soon as Elsie finished his words, the bandits were in an uproar. Some of them even looked at Elsie suspiciously. ‘Did he just find a random reason after he lost the battle?’
“Thump! Thump!”
Angus knocked on the table and the hall gradually quieted down.
“Capet is a famous loser, so he can’t defeat Elsie with his strength. I suspect that he has used some secret method to get the mysterious strength.”
Angus spoke out his judgment slowly. He believed that Elsie didn’t dare to deceive him.
“Secret method!”
The bandits of the team exclaimed. Their eyes lit up with extreme greed. There was a secret method to improve one’s practice base, which was an invaluable treasure that could only be found once in a while!
In many people’s eyes, the secret method in Locke’s hand was already theirs.
“Don’t forget that loser can use the secret method now.” How could Elsie not understand what was on everyone’s mind?
“Only you will be defeated by this loser.”
Leth scoffed, then he turned to Angus and pleaded, “Dear Chief, I request to go ahead and kill Locke and take the secret method for you!”
Faced with Leth’s mockery, Elsie clenched his fists in anger. But on second thought, he felt relieved and even sneered in his heart.
He knew the strength of Leth. Although Leth was a little stronger than him, if Locke used the strength last time, he might die there.
However, Angus shook his head and said, “I’ll go to Lister myself this time.”
The secret method must be a priceless treasure to make a loser defeat the level-1 warrior in an instant. Angus decided to take it by himself in case of any accidents.
There was no everlasting ally in front of interests. The reason why these subordinates obeyed his orders was also because of his powerful strength and background. It was hard to guarantee that no one would have a second thought and run away with the secret method.
“Gather all the people, take your weapons, kill Locke Capet and all people in Lister!”
With the order of Angus, the whole brigands were excited in the encampment, and they began to move quickly. freewebn(o)vel
Locke stopped ten kilometers away from the fortress of Black Rock Bandits. They followed the clues left by bandits along the way to this place.
Since they had rested several times at night, they were not too tired.t
“These bandits are good at choosing a place.”
Looking at the changing terrain ahead, Locke sighed.
The fortress of the bandits was located between two dangerous peaks, which served as two natural barriers to protect the fortress in the middle.
The road in front of the fortress was getting narrower and narrower. On both sides of the road were mountains and hills, which were suitable for defense. Locke didn’t know about the situation of the back fortress, but he thought it was easy to defend but hard to attack.
More importantly, more than 10 kilometers away was one of the critical transportation channels for trade between Naton County and Deauville County, from which a large number of the caravan would pass.
“Master Locke, the bandits occupied the high ground with a large number of people. I’m afraid we are no match for them. It’s not too late for us to retreat now.”
After looking at the terrain, Kerton said with concern. Except for Sam and four seriously injured retinues, there were only more than 20 of them now. How could they rob the bandits?
“It’s too late. We have been found by the bandits.”
Looking at the grass in the distance, Athena said slowly.
Everyone followed Athena’s gaze and saw the grass move. Then a figure quickly disappeared behind the grass.
Seeing this, Kerton and the others became a little anxious. If they didn’t leave now, it would be too late!
Locke didn’t say anything but looked at Athena. With such a small group of people like them, if they attacked by force, they would definitely lose their lives. But he knew that since Athena came with them, she must have already thought of a solution.
Athena smiled mysteriously and gently raised her palm. Everyone saw a blue light spot in size of a rice grain appear in her hand, and then it quickly expanded.
With Athena’s palm as the center, the blue energy quickly gathered in the shape of whirlpools. The energy around them was accumulated, making the surrounding wind whistle.
