With a lingering fear in his heart, Sayer returned to his room and started to write furiously.
He tried his best to describe what happened in Shatterstone Town in a concise and detailed manner. After that, he crawled out of the window and left the note in an alley behind his house.
Messenger pigeons were too eye-catching around Supreme Road.
Taming a falcon would require a lot of investment and it wasn't something a bandit group like Sayer could afford.
Therefore, they had to resort to the most primitive method.
Fortunately, although the method was primitive, it was effective enough.
However, before Sayer could exclaim more when he returned to his room, he heard a commotion on the street.
The clanging of swords and the agonizing cries of someone falling to the ground.
When Sayer slightly opened the window, he saw a familiar figure running past him. Behind the figure was a group of civilian soldiers with torches and swords in their hands.
That guy was discovered?
Sayer was stunned when he recognized who the man was.
He wasn't just paying attention to the passing merchant groups in Shatterstone Town, he was also in charge of recruiting talents.
Shatterstone Town, which was located at the starting point of Supreme Road, never lacked the charm to attract merchant groups and talents.
The man before him was one of them.
He had committed multiple robberies in the south of Saint Cyanda and killed more than a dozen people!
When the man entered Shatterstone Town, Sayer had already noticed him.
If it wasn't for the other eyesores following the man, Sayer would have contacted him a long time ago.
But now?
Sayer glanced over the man on the ground and laughed coldly in his heart.
Sayer didn't have the slightest bit of sympathy for his competitors in the same trade, he wished for the man to die sooner and in a worse way.
"It should be Volgen's doing.
Other than Volgen, there is no one else in the civilian soldiers who could kill that man. "
Although Sayer was hostile towards his competitors in the same trade, he wouldn't underestimate the man's strength, similar to how he looked down on the civilian soldiers of Shatterstone Town.
Most of the civilian soldiers were just a bunch of useless bastards.
Although they had the title of civilian soldiers, they were more like clowns with daggers.
Sayer alone had the confidence to take out four of them … No, five of them!
Sayer set up a benchmark for himself in his heart.
Then, he started to think about how to recruit that "talent".
"This is a good opportunity!"
"As long as I can avoid Volgen's sight and … that person's sight — what a scary bastard, why did such a scary bastard come back to Shatterstone Town to be the sheriff?"
"Shouldn't he go straight to Burning Dawn?"
When Sayer recalled the terrifying scene that had just happened, he felt extremely unnatural. The trembling sensation that came from the depths of his body made him take a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
But the next moment —
Whoosh!
An ear-piercing sound of something piercing through the air suddenly rang out.
What followed was a wail that made one's scalp go numb.
The talent that Sayer had his eyes on was nailed to the ground by an arrow that fell from the sky and pierced his thigh.
Everyone could see that the person who shot the arrow did not want to kill the other party.
Because that arrow was too fast!
Those who were shot couldn't even react in time.
Whether it was aimed at the chest or the legs, it was the same.
"Who shot this arrow?!"
Sayer's face turned pale as he looked at the person who was pinned to the ground, wailing in pain. Before this, the person had captured all of Sayer's attention but now, Sayer had lost all interest in the person.
All Sayer wanted to know was who shot the arrow.
Such an arrow was too terrifying!
Let alone the person who was shot, Sayer himself and no one else in Sayer's knowledge would be able to dodge the arrow.
Soon, Sayer found the person who shot the arrow.
The person had no intention of hiding.
Under the night sky, on the rooftop.
Under the bright full moon, the night breeze was blowing the crow feathered mantle.
The young face had an unusual luster under the moonlight, exceptionally attracting people's gazes.
Everyone's gazes were filled with astonishment.
"It's that guy!"
When Sayer saw the figure under the moonlight, he staggered back a few steps as if he was struck by lightning, his mind went blank.
Sayer was terrified.
He never thought there would be such terrifying archery skills.
Unlike the scene that he couldn't understand before, Sayer had a very good understanding of archery.
But because of his understanding, Sayer grew more fearful.
He knew he was discovered.
No one should underestimate a sharpshooter's sight and senses.
It was a short moment for common men but for a sharpshooter, it was enough to determine life and death.
Sayer shivered and shrunk in the corner of the wall.
He hoped to find a place to hide.
But he knew his room wasn't strong enough to stop the arrow.
In order to stop the arrow, he would need a sturdy stone wall.
"I-I need to …"
Sayer kept trying to calm himself down but it was useless between life and death.
After getting away from the robbers and blending into a more comfortable environment, Sayer was no longer the bandit that people would fear just by hearing his name.
Sayer was more used to carving some crafts with the knife in his hand and not slit someone's throat.
However, the others were different.
Those who were hiding in the shadows quickly dashed towards the place they thought was safe.
They were fast.
But Kieran's arrows were faster.
Transcendence [Sharp Weapon, Bow]'s special effects [Transcendence Reload] and [Thought Arrow] didn't just increase Kieran's arrows' speed, they were also extraordinarily powerful.
Sou, Sou Sou!
Five arrows were fired in a row.
Five agonizing cries sounded in Shatterstone Town.
It didn't matter if he hid behind a solid wooden door or entered a pitch-black room, it was useless.
What terrified Sayer the most was that none of the five of them died. Like the first guy, all of them had their thighs pierced by arrows and pinned to the ground.
So, when Kieran looked over, Sayer quickly walked out with his hands up high.
"My lord, I surrender!"
Sayer shouted loudly.
…
"My lord, we did it!"
Volgen said excitedly.
At first, Volgen didn't say anything about Kieran reducing the number of soldiers but his heart slightly disagreed with it.
Volgen knew some of the soldiers were weak but he also knew they would need manpower to clean up Shatterstone Town.
According to Volgen's plan, the number of soldiers at the moment wasn't enough, they would need to gather more temporary manpower.
However, how to ensure that the secret wouldn't be leaked was a huge headache for Volgen.
So, Volgen hoped that Kieran could come up with a practical and effective plan.
However, to Volgen's surprise, Kieran's battle plan was that simple.
In fact, if it wasn't for the previous incident, Volgen would never agree to such a plan.
But now?
Volgen's gaze at Kieran was filled with admiration.
Admiration for his strength.
Admiration for his confidence.
"Other than you, no one can make this plan succeed."
Volgen said from the bottom of his heart after knowing the key to the plan.
"Succeed?
Just a little bit more. "
Kieran slightly shook his head at Volgen's words.
