Although Benjamin did not count them carefully, he could also judge from a rough estimate that the number of this group was at least thirty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly, Benjamin felt that something was not right.

Although he didn't know the identities and intentions of these people, even a group of passers-by happened to pass by was enough trouble for Benjamin and them. After all, they chose to take this kind of remote path to avoid the eyes of most people. Bumping into a group of people, doesn't it just leak their tracks?

Therefore, he had to find a way to deal with the current situation properly.

"Didn't you say that you wouldn't meet people on this road?" he couldn't help but ask in his heart.

"What can I do, some people just don't like to walk on the road, and it's okay to bump into it. The system explained confidently, "If you want to blame it, you are unlucky, no matter how remote you go, you can meet people." ”

“......”

Benjamin found that the system had recently regained its ability to be annoying. Even if he punishes the system a little in the consciousness space, the system has a face of "you come to beat me", lawless, and I don't know what to do.

Unfortunately, he should not be naïve enough to think that he could be cured of this mental illness by violent means. system, it only recurred more after a short period of repression.

Benjamin sighed with some regret in his heart.

His gaze returned to reality, and after observing it for a while, his mood relaxed. From these thirty or so unidentified guys, Benjamin did not feel the caster's mental power and elemental fluctuations. They are just ordinary people, and they have nothing to do with the existence of mages, churches, etc.

It's just that it depends on their outfits......

Dressed in clothes similar to leather armor and with long knives pinned to their waists, almost all of them were tall men with beards, and their movements were casual but exuded a faint aura of danger. At that moment, Benjamin suddenly realized that this was a gang of bandits.

"Are there bandits in this area?" he asked, turning into the system.

The system replied, "Probably not, but it may be a new bandit, or we have just arrived in Ikor, and we haven't heard enough news." There are bandits here, we just don't know about it. ”

That's right......

Hearing this, Benjamin shrugged his shoulders.

It doesn't matter, since it's a bandit, it's much easier. doesn't want his whereabouts to leak out, Benjamin only needs to exterminate all these bandits, and no accidents will happen, and it can be regarded as a citizen to eliminate harm, which is a double win.

In short, it's all about making sure that no one knows where they are.

After observing for a while, and confirming that the bandits were only camping here to rest, and that they were not alert, Benjamin turned around and returned to the mage's camp. He quietly called the mages up and told them that there was a group of bandits, and that they were only a few mountain paths away, and that they had better deal with it.

Hearing this news, the mages suddenly came to their senses, and they didn't need Benjamin to mobilize at all, and they wanted to do it with excitement on their faces. Benjamin was a little helpless, so he had to calm them down first, and first made a battle plan - eight people were ambushed in the outer circle to prevent anyone from escaping, and the rest of the people went directly to kill these bandits.

"I hate bandits the most, before in the kingdom, it was the bandits who trampled to death the desert scorpion I raised!" A kind girl named Leila said with a kind eyebrow and a ghost animal laugh at this moment.

“......”

Benjamin couldn't help but think: these bandits are really unlucky enough to meet them.

In this way, under the dim moonlight, except for the two potion mages who stayed behind and the other mage protected, all the mages in the team went out and quietly touched out of the camp. Under Benjamin's command, they set up positions around the bandits' camp and then, using the vanguard mage's first fireball as a signal, prepared to attack.

The poor bandits, who did not yet know what was going on, gathered in twos and threes, as if to say something, and let out a burst of laughter from time to time.

With the sound of muffled spells and subtle fluctuations in mana.

Rumble!

A fireball appeared out of thin air and hit the outermost bandit. Suddenly, he didn't even make a sound, and he turned into a pile of ashes. The other bandits were startled by this sudden turn of events, and stood up with their knives, only to be startled by the various fireballs and wind blades that came at them.

"I, my mother, ......"

"It's the mage!

"Master Mage, spare your life! Don't kill us, we'll throw you!"

The whole process of fighting was easier than the mages imagined. No, it's not even a battle. After the first round of magic attacks, the bandits were killed and wounded, and the remaining bandits lost all will to resist. Suddenly, the sound of pleading echoed like a pig's cry all over the mountain.

Seeing this, the mages looked at each other and slowed down the rhythm of their moves.

"They're all surrendering, and no one is running away, are we going to do anything more?" asked Frank.

"Let's kill them all, a bunch of bandits, what's the use of keeping them?" Wallis shook his head, and said, "Don't take their word for it, if you don't pay attention, they'll find a way to escape." ”

"Well, that's ...... too"

However, just as the mages were about to use another magic salvo to finish off the bandits, Benjamin suddenly stood up and spoke, stopping the mages.

"Wait a minute, I have a question for them. ”

If he guessed correctly, the bandits had arrived from where they were going. In that case, it is better to ask what is going on on the way first. If it's okay, why would they be a bunch of bandits in such a place where birds don't?

To put it bluntly, they had only been here for a long time and needed more information. Such a group of indigenous bandits, it would be too wasteful to kill them directly, he should kill them after asking.

So, under these words, the mages stopped the magic in their hands, and the bandits also showed happy expressions.

After thinking about it, Benjamin came out of the darkness and walked in front of the bandits.

"Master Fa, Master, if you have any questions, just ask, we will definitely say everything. One of the thieves looked at Benjamin and said with a look of fear.

Benjamin asked with a cold face, "Where are you bandits, and why are you here?" If I'm not mistaken, there should be no bandits around here. ”

Hearing this, the bandit showed a somewhat dazed expression, shook his head, and said, "Master Mage, we are not bandits, you are mistaken, we, we are from the Fit River...... Bandit. ”

...... Fit River?

Hearing this, Benjamin frowned.

It's weird......

After looking at Ikor's map, he also knew about the existence of the Fit River. It was a river southeast of Ikor, close to the border between Ikor and Freden, and quite far from here. If these people were really bandits in that area, they would have to spend at least half a month and cross mountains to get to this place.

In the past few years, the robbers have to rob once, and the cycle has to be so long?

At that moment, Benjamin felt that the whole thing was a little suspicious.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

"Ah...... Madame brought us here. "The robber also seemed to be really afraid, and he said everything without pressing," she said, saying that she had received the news that she could meet a large caravan here, and that we would not be able to spend all the money we could get in our lifetime, so we followed. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin felt even stranger.

Big caravans?

What are you kidding, how can a large caravan pass through this area? This route carefully chosen by Benjamin and the system is to ensure that no villages and towns pass by. What the hell is this kind of caravan doing here?

I don't know why, at that moment, Benjamin suddenly felt that the reason why this group of robbers appeared here was inextricably linked to them.

After thinking about it, he then asked, "Where is that lady, and I have something to ask her?"

At first glance, he seemed to find the only woman in the group, but ......

What about people?

The other robbers reacted as confused as he was. They first looked around, and some even picked up the bodies of their companions and searched in a panic. However, after searching for a while, they couldn't find the only woman in this pile of men.

"Master Mage...... Madame, she seems to be gone, and I don't know where she went. At last the robber at the head came up to him in astonishment and fear, and said this to Benjamin in a tone that they themselves did not believe.

As for Benjamin, he was a little intimidated.

Just now, when the robbers were looking around, he also turned on the water elemental perception method, scanning everything in the vicinity round and round. However, the female figure he found at the beginning was no longer there.

What's the situation?

What about people?

The entire bandits' camp, he had already sent people to surround it, how could someone still take advantage of the chaos to slip away?

You must know that when they start attacking, the water elemental sensing method is also activated from time to time. The entire bandit camp was in his sight. If this "lady" did escape, unless he escaped while Benjamin was returning to the mage's camp, it is impossible for Benjamin not to notice it at all.

However, how could she escape while Benjamin was back at camp, how could it be so coincidental?

Could it be ...... This "lady" has long since discovered their existence?

The more Benjamin thought about it, the more weird it felt.

Just as he was thinking about what he had missed, suddenly, with a few exclamations, in the darkness in the distance, two familiar figures ran over in a little panic. Benjamin came back to his senses and looked closely, and it was the two potion mages who were left behind in the mage's camp.

What are they doing here?

Suddenly, Benjamin felt even more wrong.

It's just that they came to encircle and suppress a group of bandits who have no power to resist, why can they still lead to so many strange incidents?

"What happened, what are you doing here?" he asked, frowning, with unusual seriousness, "what about Augustine?

However, Andy and Hannah ran up to him, stopped, gasped, and paused for a while before they spoke in a panic, "I, we don't know, Augustin...... Suddenly he was gone. ”
