The Amarvit Fort is perched on a cliff in the White Orchard, overlooking the village of the White Orchard below.

The fortress was once used as a dungeon by the local lord Ignatius Verrires, and for unknown reasons, the fort was eventually abandoned.

After many years of wind and rain, only ruins are left here, and they have become a ruin.

Today, the owner of the remains of this castle is called Phoenix Keeley.

Born and raised in White Orchard, Phoenix once had a passion for serving his country, and enthusiastically signed up for Temeria's army.

He dreams of becoming a hero, fighting on the battlefield to become famous, killing all sides, and finally returning with fame and fame.

The dream is very full, and the reality is very backbone.

When facing the snowy blade of the murderous man in black on the battlefield, he was terrified when he really saw the scene of flesh and blood flying and wailing all over the field.

Then, he became a deserter.

After escaping, Phoenix did not dare to go back to the village, and met several other deserters on the way, and after discussing it, everyone decided to find a place to hide first.

Familiar with the local area, he led the people to the ruins, and became the leader of the group.

After the Nephgaard army went north, this group of deserters, who were so hungry that they were close to their backs, finally dared to come out and move.

At this time, their identity is no longer soldiers, but robbers.

The situation was chaotic, and after struggling with many deserters, Phoenix began to fish in troubled waters, making a lot of war profits, and frequently attacking and winning a lot.

And just a few hours earlier, they had even managed to attack a convoy of Nilfgaard's grain convoy and obtain a cartload of precious grain.

With this harvest, the emaciated bandit leader was in a good mood and was sitting around the campfire with a few leaders enjoying a drink.

"Head, the people on the mountain wiped out the nearby villagers today!"

"Nearby? You mean the one with two daughters? ”

"Yes, the whole family is dead, and the two children are not spared, it is said that it is because they helped some kind of witcher."

"Hmph, none of these nobles are good people."

In a fit of rage, Phoenix took a bite of the roast chicken leg in his hand, tore off a large piece of meat, and chewed it as if it were the meat of the nobles.

After a while, throwing the gnawed bones of his hands into the fire, the leader of the robbers licked the grease on his fingers and said with a look of resentment:

"Fuck, what did we die for before?

For Temoria?

Bullshit, not for these noble lords! ”

He stood up, walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked down the hill, where smoke had risen from the village of White Orchard in the distance.

"It was for such a ridiculous reason that my father died, as did my three brothers.

And then what benefits did they get? Didn't get any fart, not even a decent funeral. ”

The more Phyllis spoke, the more excited he became, more than doubling his voice, and speaking faster and faster.

"My father used to say that a wise man should learn from the mistakes of others, so I learned from his mistakes.

I don't want to die for Temeria, I'm going to rob those who killed the descendants of Temeria.

And today, I did, and it will be a new beginning for us. ”

The bandit leader's face flushed as he turned to the leaders, his eyes shining.

"With this cart of food, we can hold on and continue to fight guerrillas and make the Nilfgaard pay for their crimes."

Just as he was excited and made an impassioned speech, one of the leaders poured cold water on him at an inopportune time.

"Head, the mountain has sent someone again, this time it is particularly tough, either hand over the grain, or merge into them, looking at the baron's inevitable posture, I always feel that something is not good."

"Hmph, these guys, the slogan is good, but in fact, they don't practice just talking, and they haven't even touched the corners of the Nilfgaard people's clothes until now.

Seeing that we have food, we will immediately take it by force, and leave them alone~"

Thinking of the anger he had suffered during this time, Phyllis was a little angry.

"Head, you also know the virtues of those people on the mountain, I suggest that in the near future, everyone should not go out and keep their homes well."

"I'm in favor, after all, we have food and drink, and there's no need to compete with these hungry people..."

"Their food has been burned, and now they are looting everywhere, and it is said that they have clashed with the men in black several times, and many people have been damaged.

"Okay" Listening to his subordinates' words, Phyllis pondered for a moment and nodded, "Everyone is staying at home during this time... Wait, did you hear anything? ”

The leader of the robbers raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and listen to himself.

Click~

The sound of a button opening came again, his expression froze, and he said loudly: "Quick, there are people inside." ”

After speaking, without waiting for his subordinates to react, he drew his sword and ran towards the half-collapsed tower, which was completely devoid of its roof.

When everyone rushed to the tower in a hurry, they found that the guards at the door had been knocked unconscious and collapsed in the doorway.

With a slight push, the door opened, and from the outside of the door, the tower was in shambles, and things were turned all over the place.

"Geller, you lead people to guard the entrance to the bottom of the stronghold, and no one is allowed to enter or leave" Phyllis's eyes were red, and after ordering one of his men, he ordered someone to guard the door, and immediately led people to rush in.

The tower was empty, all the boxes had been opened, and it seemed as if someone was looking for something.

Seeing that most of the gold and silver utensils and valuable belongings were still there, he wondered what the other party was looking for.

But this issue is not the key now, as long as you catch someone, everything will be clear.

Actually stealing things under his nose, how arrogant is this guy?

"Gather everyone at once and search the entire colony in full."

Seeing his men turn every corner of the tower upside down and find nothing, Phyllis immediately yelled and walked out quickly.

"You, you, take your men and show me the granaries and towers," he said, pointing out the two leaders and assigning them tasks.

"The others have searched every place for me, and they have to find the thief for me. George and Ford, you two follow me to the entrance. ”

The idea of the bandit leader is very simple, as long as he guards the only entrance and exit, and catches the turtle in the urn, he will be able to find this mouse sooner or later.

After a few moments, the entire ruins of the fortress were boiling, and there were bandits running with torches everywhere.

Phyllis waited silently on the entrance platform, surrounded by robbers and lit up with countless torches.

Full of confidence, he believes that even a bee will never want to fly out of here in full view.

Now all you have to do is wait for your men to turn this guy out.

Time passed minute by minute, and there was no news of the discovery of the 'mouse' for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Yes~

The sudden scream made everyone's hearts skip a beat, and they saw a robber standing on the edge of the cliff clutching his chest, taking a few steps back, and then falling down in a frightened scream.

Before he could fall, the crowd spotted a swarthy crossbow bolt pinned to his chest.

"Enemy Attack~"

One of the sentry robbers let out a frightened cry, and as soon as he could say this, he was shot in the face by a crossbow arrow, and fell from the watchtower with a terrible wail.

Woo Woo Woo ~ The sound of crossbow arrows was heard incessantly, and the robbers standing at the entrance suddenly fell in large pieces.

"Gan, so unlucky~"

The terrified robbers scurried with their heads in their arms, each looking for cover.

As Phyllis was dodging, he heard an unfamiliar voice, and when he ducked behind a ruined wall and looked back, he saw a figure suddenly appear out of thin air in the empty place.

The man in the black cloak struck a powerful crossbow with his sword, then dodged the other sideways, and then the man disappeared into thin air.

The bandit leader rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and when he opened them again, he saw a tall figure running briskly up the collapsed and sloping tower.

Seeing the iconic two-handed greatsword, he immediately recognized the identity of the person who came.

"The hateful nobleman, he really brought people to attack him~"
