Skyler is taking Natalie outside the walls of Reston Village to inform the guards on the night shift that there is an important briefing.

When the guard heard that someone might be attacking, he hurriedly asked people to come over and escorted the team of brothers and sisters to carefully repeat it to the captain.

So, at about three or four o'clock in the morning, Sir Liszt woke up Xavier and Hannah from their sleep, and discussed countermeasures in the camp.

At the same time, Xavier, who was sleepy-eyed, also received a prompt tone from the system.

[The current quest 'Bandit Invasion' is triggered to smash the bandits' plot to invade Reston Village.] 】

[Reward: Skill Points x2, Lottery Chance x1]

When Xavier saw this series of rewards, he didn't have to think anymore, bandits, they were definitely going to die!

That's two skill points, in case the S rating is three!

However, he did not know exactly how he was going to die, and that was why, the two captains of the detachment, and Sir Liszt, were here to discuss.

Immediately, he saw Miss Hannah, whose hair was slightly disheveled and did not seem to be properly groomed, and made her remarks.

"Captain, Xavier, I thought of a possibility. Miss Hannah said to the two, "Could it be that Skyler is actually a spy sent by the bandits to blind us?"

The implication of Hannah's words, the captain and Xavier, naturally understood, was nothing more than that the time that Skyler said was actually false, and the bandits might actually attack the city at other times, or not at all, just to scare them.

"Just. Xavier thought of the scene Schuyler had just retelled, "That man just now seemed to be very protective of his sister, if it was fake, did he need to take the sister he cared about to adventure?"

From his years of observation, he could tell that Skyler and Natalie's brother and sister relationship was very strong, and it didn't look like it was pretending.

The captain nodded as well, "Yes, I think little Hannah you may be overly worried, but to be on the safe side, I have a way to tell if Skyler is telling the truth." ”

"What is it?" said a man and a woman's voices at the same time.

"Psychic magic. The baron looked at the two of them and smiled, "It allows me to determine whether a person has ill will towards others, for example, when I ask Skyler if he has any ill will towards Reston Village, psychic magic can let me know if he wants to help Reston Village or harm us." ”

I didn't expect the captain to have such a way! Sure enough, people with magic can do whatever they want....... Xavier sighed inwardly, saddened that he was still at 0/0 mana.

However, the focus of Captain Hannah was not here, but looked at the captain with suspicious eyes, and asked, "Then may I ask the captain, have you ever used psychic magic on us?"

"Of course....... Definitely. The captain laughed, pretending it wasn't a big deal.

However, when he felt the dissatisfaction from the detachment leader, he immediately explained:

"No way, when you join the army, you must make sure that you have no ill will towards the army, so as not to let the spies of the barbarians get in, this is for the sake of all the soldiers, I hope you can understand. ”

"I understand, I'm just unhappy that you haven't told us. Captain Hannah said with a frowning eyebrow.

"Not as an example. The next is not an example. Sir Liszt laughed, but the thought in his heart was 'I dare next time'.

"But why don't we remember it?" Xavier wasn't too angry about psychic magic, because if he had been put in that position, he would have done the same thing.

Sir Liszt was quick to respond to Xavier's question, "Because when the psychic magic is used up, the associated memories will be erased...... Alright, without further ado, let me use my mind magic on Schuyler first, and then move on to what to do. ”

Immediately, he left the camp, leaving the two detachment leaders to look at each other.

"Xavier, why aren't you upset in the slightest? Hannah asked Xavier.

"Why be dissatisfied?" Xavier asked rhetorically.

"Because he hid it from us, if the captain can make our memories disappear this time, will he be able to tamper with our memories next time?" Miss Hannah tried to describe a terrible future, "When the time comes, aren't you afraid that all your memories will be made up by others, or even imagined?"

Actually, I suspect it's a dream now...... Xavier thought to himself, and then did not dismiss Hannah's possibility: "I admit that what you said makes sense, but don't you believe the captain?"

"It is precisely because of believing in him that you will be dissatisfied when you are suspicious. Miss Hannah flattened her mouth.

Looking at this expression, Xavier actually thought it was cute, and continued to fool, "But the captain can't help it, in order to prevent spies from sneaking into the army, this method is inevitable, he is thinking about the lives of all soldiers!"

"As a team leader, we can express our dissatisfaction, but we have to believe that the captain is always for our good. ”

"So don't overthink it. He teased Isabella in a tone, "We just need to firmly support the captain and do our part." ”

"Hmm. Miss Hannah nodded silently like a girl who had been trained at the moment, and did not refute Xavier's words.

In fact, she also knew that she shouldn't cause trouble for the captain at this time, so she just complained and didn't take any actual action.

Soon after the two finished talking, the captain had already returned from outside and said to the two:

"I've already used mind magic on Skyler, and I can tell that he doesn't have any ill will towards Reston Village, so his information should be unmistakable. ”

"So. Xavier looked at the baron and asked, "Should we be ready to fight at night?" after all, Skyler said they would attack at night. ”

"Nope. The baron smiled and said, "We took the initiative to pull out their copycat!"

~~~~~~

In the evening, bandits cottage.

Inside the leader's tent sat the black-haired man who had pretended to be a refugee, and he was none other than the bandit boss here, Ernest.

He was originally just an ordinary swordsman in the Northern Swordsman Association of Ghurnia, but later he sensed an opportunity to make a fortune through his keen eye.

During the barbarian invasion, due to the collapse of the First Legion, most of the inhabitants left with some important items before the enemy army arrived.

So Ernest quickly gathered a group of outlaws, and he went around robbing the homes of those who had fled, and slowly became rich.

Even, in the guise of barbarians, the bandits went to the middle of Gournia, plundered the villages where there were no garrisons, plundered the women of the people for their own enjoyment, robbed them of their wealth for their own appreciation, and then feasted on meat and drank wine, and called it 'the way of heaven'.

But when they grabbed too much, they found that their weapons and armor didn't seem to be good enough!

What if the barbarians, or the garrisons of the Minoan Empire, come back later?

It doesn't matter, just surrender to the other side, the barbarians attacked, and ran to the south to surrender, saying that they were volunteers who bravely resisted foreign enemies.

Then what if the Minoan Empire counterattacked? Then surrender to the barbarians, saying that they are warriors who have been waiting for the king for a long time.

But before they can do all this, they must improve their strength, so that after surrendering, they can also have a little right to speak in the corresponding army.

That is why, they are preparing to rob the village of Reston.

Thinking of this, Ernest smiled with satisfaction, and was ready to wait for the early morning to attack the village of Reston with the bandits, who had been waiting all night!
