A month ago, the Seventh Brigade of the Imperial Garrison went to Mount Mayaris and was ordered to crusade against the bandits entrenched there.

The Huangyan Mountain Bandit Group, established by a bully named Huangyan ten years ago, the number was only fifteen at the beginning, and the local government did not take them seriously, so they did not pay attention to it, but with the precipitation of the years, they gradually grew, and there were hundreds of people in just three years.

Unable to resist, the local government appealed to the central government for help, but received no response.

By now, they numbered more than a thousand, and their momentum was still growing, and they had reached the point where they were in full swing, and the imperial magnates knew that if they were not eliminated, a new resistance force might emerge, so they sent the Seventh Brigade with the strongest combat effectiveness of the garrison to fight against them.

The Seventh Brigade had five hundred well-equipped guards, perhaps inferior to the Knights in frontal combat, but they were experts in mountain combat. However, in the face of the thousand-strong and notorious Huangyan Mountain Bandit Group, the Seventh Brigade was also unsure.

The Huangyan Mountain Bandits have many masters, all of whom are not afraid of death, and occupy the advantage of the situation, and have had countless conflicts with local armed forces in the past ten years, and each time they have won easily. The surrounding villages suffered, and every year the bandits went one by one to extort money and kidnap women, and the people gradually gave up their resistance and bowed to the strong.

The seventh brigade came to the hinterland of the Huangyan Mountain Bandit Group, looking at the flags fluttering in the cottage, everyone's mood couldn't help but be heavy, the number of enemies was twice as many as theirs, even if they won, it would be a miserable victory, and they didn't know how many people would die at that time.

Even the commander-in-chief, Lord Cornell, looked depressed, he didn't know if he would be able to go back alive today to see his daughter, if it weren't for the emperor's fate, he would definitely not come to this pond of troubled waters, you must know that a task like suppressing bandits is not just a matter of cutting off a few heads and going back to pay errands, if the next time the village is attacked, he will be punished for the crime of bullying the king, and his own imprisonment is a trivial matter, and his family will be implicated.

Just as he was hesitating, the vanguard officer beside him stepped forward, waved the iron ball in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, the time for a decisive battle has come, everyone will go up with me, step on the den of thieves, eliminate harm for the people, and fight for justice!"

"Whoa!" everyone responded, the originally dull atmosphere was broken, and morale was boosted.

Lord Cornell woke up, yes, he came to suppress the bandits in order to bring peace and stability to the people, about the various evil deeds of the bandits, he is already familiar with it, from the initial grief and indignation to the later numbness, when he was young, he joined the garrison in order to be able to kill the rape and eliminate the harm, but the years have passed, and now he is a husband and a father, and the blood in his body has been slowly smoothed out by the warmth of the family, he just wants the world to be peaceful and live a stable life.

But the evil in the world has not disappeared because of the passage of time, on the contrary, the wicked people are becoming more and more arrogant because of the numbness of the world, so there is no need to think too much, the reason for them to fight is very simple, for the sake of those suffering people, for the sake of the next generation of the empire, they must throw their heads and shed their blood and sweep away all evil!

The pioneer officer's name is Otani, a black-skinned night elf clan, two meters tall, as strong as an iron tower, holding a giant iron ball weighing one ton, and has the courage to be unstoppable.

On weekdays, everyone didn't pay much attention to him, because the citizens of the imperial capital were very discriminatory against foreigners, but at this time, when he was in danger and everyone lacked courage, he climbed up and shouted, and everyone immediately regarded him as the backbone, his two-meter body was so majestic at this time, and his strong physique was so reliable.

"Kill!" The Seventh Brigade rushed up the hill under the leadership of Ohtani, seeing that the mountain gate was getting closer and closer, everyone was short of breath and nervous, was the real battle finally about to begin?

Although there are veterans here, most of them have never been on the battlefield and don't know what it's like to kill people.

But as soon as he approached the gate of the cottage, Lord Cornell suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

His intuition told him that something was wrong, that they were attacking with such a vigour, that the bandits would not know anything about it? If they did, they would not be guarded against it at all? But now what he saw was a cottage with the gate open, and there was a figure of a guard! Could it be an empty city?

At this time, everyone felt that the whole cottage was lifeless and creepy, what the hell were the bandits doing?

"Adjutant. Lord Cornell greeted.

"The subordinates are here. A handsome boy approached.

"You go and see what's going on in the village, be careful. ”

"Yes. ”

The space-time mage died, and he was a newcomer who only joined in the last year, but he was talented and intelligent, good at reasoning, solved many difficult and miscellaneous cases, and was highly appreciated by his superiors, and soon became the deputy of the seventh team.

I saw him soar into the air and slowly fly towards the sky above the cottage.

"This is ......" He saw an extremely astonishing scene, and his speed couldn't help but increase.

After a while, he flew back, looking genuinely terrified.

"Sir, I went around and found no living person. He reported.

"What?" Lord Cornell was taken aback and immediately led everyone inside.

I saw that the inside of the cottage was already in a mess, and there were corpses lying on the ground.

Several coroners immediately stepped forward to perform an autopsy on the body and came to a startling conclusion.

"The time of death was about three days ago, and the cause of death was a sword death. ”

Everyone searched everywhere, and the results became more and more shocking, and a total of 1,000 and 20 corpses were found in the entire cottage, all of which were members of the bandit group!

"In other words, someone exterminated the Huangyan Bandits before us?" Connell wondered, "Who did this?

"Could it be infighting?" one agent speculated, "because we didn't see any corpses except the bandits, and it was impossible to exterminate a group of 1,000 people overnight without sacrificing a single person." ”

"I don't think so. Xiao Xiao said, "Things may be more complicated than you think, judging from the wounds of the deceased, few people only received one sword, and many people will not exceed three swords, so clean and neat, it is not like two groups of people fought to leave, if you guess correctly, the murderer may only be one." ”

"Impossible!" everyone objected in unison, not to mention a thousand people, even if it was a thousand cockroaches, it would not be a matter of time or a half to kill them all, and if you step on one, ordinary people may not be able to finish the fight if you are tired!

Another agent said: "We searched the warehouse just now and found that it has been emptied, which is definitely not something that can be moved by one person. ”

"Is it, the warehouse is empty?" reminded him of the clue, and he hurriedly said, "The murderer may be related to the village down the mountain, and we will need to investigate it later." ”

Cornell trusts him, although the bandits are suppressed now, but if they don't find out the ins and outs of the matter, it is not easy to explain to their superiors, whether it is an individual crime or teamwork, having the strength to completely destroy an entire bandit group is definitely a hidden danger.

"Report, a living person has been found!" a member of the team rushed over.

Everyone was in good spirits, this is an important witness.

A strong man with a gray face was brought up, and by looking at the sashimi on his arm, he knew that he was a member of the bandits.

"Tell me, what's going on here?" Pioneer Otani asked aloud.

But the bandit's eyes were glazed, trembling all over, and he couldn't stop shaking his head, as if he was very afraid.

Ohtani was about to serve the punishment, but was stopped by the untimely death.

"This man is frightened, don't provoke him. After he finished speaking, he picked up the staff in his hand and shook it lightly at the bandit.

This trick really worked, and I saw that the bandit's body was no longer trembling, and his breathing calmed down.

Xiao Xiao said softly: "Don't worry, we are here to save you, tell me, who hurt you?"

After asking this, the bandit began to tremble again, and he seemed to be afraid of the memory.

"White ...... White-haired ......" his tone was full of fear, "it's a white-haired witch!youkai, death, vampire!...... wow" and he foamed at the mouth and fainted.

"White-haired witch? white-haired...... The witch ......" muttered prematurely, the name is very informative, because in the Empire, white-haired people are rare, but in the other world, they are very common, that is, the Demon Realm.

Before investigating the scene, Xiao Xiao concealed a key clue, in fact, the fatal injuries of those deceased were not entirely caused by sharp blades, especially those thieves at the level of the family, who were more affected by an energy impact, although it had been many days, but he still felt the breath of energy, yes, this is energy from another time and space, to be clear, it is the demon world, that is, the murderer will use magic power.

Combined with the survivor's so-called white-haired witch, the possibility that the murderer came from the demon world is very high, so it is also possible for this person to destroy the entire bandit group with the power of one person, among the masters of the demon world, let alone a thousand people, even if there are 10,000 people, 100,000 people can be killed to show you, but the question is, how can a master of the demon world come to trouble the bandit group?

Then, the seventh brigade came to the village of Mayaris at the bottom of the mountain, and sure enough, they inquired about the whereabouts of the white-haired witch there, at first, the villagers were tight-lipped, but after the garrison found a lot of gold, silver and jewelry of unknown origin from each house, they had to confess truthfully, this was from the bandits' den, and the one who helped them eliminate the bandits was a teenage girl, and now she went to the imperial capital Sunnyvale.

The garrison did not confiscate the treasure, and the villagers were persecuted by bandits for many years, which was considered compensation, but Lord Cornell still reminded them to sell the jewels as soon as possible, in case they were not able to hide if they were pursued by the superiors.

Of course, as a reward, they still received some thank-you gifts from the villagers.

After that, the Seventh Brigade began to chase after the white-haired witch, how could such a terrifying guy let her go to the imperial capital? Once the demon clan went crazy, the consequences would be unimaginable, so it was necessary to thoroughly investigate her, find her out, and control her.
