Baiyi felt a little helpless, but since he was already there, he had no choice but to ignore the strange feeling in his heart. He expanded his Psychic Energy and covered the entire forest, scanning it.
Due to the fact that civilization was still underdeveloped, the forest in the wild still retained its original natural appearance. Baiyi scanned the area with his psychic energy and found a lot of lively wild animals and exotic rare plants. Not only that, but he also found a human settlement at the other end of the forest. It looked like a mountain village or a mountain village? Maybe it was a mountain village?
The Ancient Rohlserlian Empire had yet to unify the entire continent. Even during the reign of the Sage-Emperor of the Magi, who had expanded his territory by leaps and bounds, he was still a long way from unifying the entire continent. Not to mention the northern part of the continent, the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire had only occupied half of the Southern Continent. Compared to the later eras, the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire's territory was still small.
It was not that sorcerers were incapable of fighting or anything, but the productivity and population of the country could not keep up.
As a result, the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire had many neighbors. There were all kinds of small countries, independent city-states, and even primitive tribes. The Sage-Emperor of the Magi had fought in so many wars, and even when he was exiled to the Void, he still could not wipe out all of his neighbors, let alone Baiyi's current timeline.
Since this small town was close to the border, it was not surprising that it had some strange neighbors.
"That poor guy wasn't kidnapped by the non-humankind, was he? I hope he didn't run into cannibals, "Baiyi muttered to himself. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he rose into the air and flew toward the village near the border.
When he was close enough, he landed on the ground and used the stealth technique he had learned in his previous life to sneak into the village. It was not a primitive village like he had imagined. There were about 200 people in the village. They were dressed differently from the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire, but at least they were wearing clothes. The language they spoke was not Ancient Rohlserlian, but it was a language that belonged to different clans. There were no people who were painted all over their bodies and wielded spears. Of course, there were no people who had won ten consecutive Manbao Darius.
Judging from the way these people carried themselves and their ferocious faces, this should be a bandit village formed by deserters. This kind of thing was not uncommon, especially during the Ancient Rohlserlian era. Due to the frequent foreign wars, deserters, defeated soldiers, and even defeated soldiers frequently roamed the borders of the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire. Sometimes, there would be several groups of bandits hiding in a forest or an old mountain. These bandits would raid towns near the border from time to time, causing a lot of trouble for the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire during the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire's era.
Although these bandits were weak and were no match for the border guards, they had received proper military training. Bullying villagers was not a problem for them. If one did not pay attention, they would easily sneak past the border and massacre the nearby towns.
The problem was that these bandits were like weeds that could not be eradicated. According to historical records, the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire had not been able to completely eradicate the bandits at the border, and these bandits were the first to enter the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire to absorb nutrients from the corpses of the empire.
"For the sake of the fact that I'm the next Emperor of the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire, I'll have to ask you to die," Baiyi muttered to himself. Just as he was about to make his move, he saw a few bandits escorting a young man to an empty space in the middle of the village. The young man knelt in front of a man with a face full of scars, who looked like the leader of the bandits.
The young man seemed to have suffered some minor injuries, and there was a large bruise on his face. It was obvious that he had been beaten and tortured. Baiyi studied the deformed features of the young man's face and concluded that he was the unlucky bastard that he was looking for.
It seemed that the young man had been captured by the bandits when he was out hunting. No wonder he could not be found.
"Tell me, where is your village?" The scar-faced bandit demanded in broken Ancient Rohlserlian. "Tell me, and I'll spare your life!"
The bandits at the border were scum. Since they were not familiar with the terrain and did not have a map, they had to find someone to lead the way if they wanted to invade the surrounding towns and villages.
The young man looked like he had been beaten up badly, and he looked extremely dispirited. However, his bones were surprisingly strong. When he heard the bandit's question, he raised his head with great difficulty and squeezed out a sneer on his swollen face. He replied weakly, "F * ck you!"
"Hmph! I've seen my fair share of tough people, but in front of me, you Rohlserlians are all, weaklings! Let me, leave you, with, a, deep impression! " The bandit leader grinned as he pulled out a dagger from his waist and aimed it at the young man's swollen eye.
Most people would have either yelled or complied when faced with such a situation. However, the young man's bones seemed to be extraordinarily tough. Even when faced with the villain who was about to gouge out his eye, the young man still had a contemptuous smile on his face. He wanted to scold him, but he was too weak to do so. His lips parted slightly, but no words came out.
Then, the young man suddenly fainted.
The bandit leader was a little embarrassed. The dagger in his hand froze in mid-air. Just as he was about to call his men to wake the young man up, a strange voice came from the empty air. "At least you didn't humiliate your two brothers who sacrificed their lives for the country. Now, have a good sleep. When you wake up, you'll be home."
As soon as the voice finished, the two bandits who were holding the young man suddenly turned their heads in an exaggerated direction. With the crisp sound of their cervical vertebrae breaking, they fell limply to the ground. The young man, who had lost his support, did not fall to the ground. Instead, he was gently held up by an invisible force and floated in mid-air.
"Who's there?!" The bandit leader shouted in the alien language. At the same time, he stabbed the dagger in his hand into the air, but the sound of metal clanging against metal rang out. Then, he saw a strange figure in full armor slowly appear.
The bandit leader's expression changed drastically. He instinctively wanted to pull back his dagger, but he found that the dagger was caught between the figure's fingers. It was as if the dagger was stuck there, not moving at all.
"Who are you?!" The bandit leader asked in a trembling voice.
"The toughest bones you've ever seen. The toughest bones of Rohserl," Baiyi said casually. Baiyi said casually. With a flick of his finger, the dagger broke into two halves. Then, with another flick, the broken blade pierced through the bandit leader's forehead.
The rest of the bandits were dumbfounded. Not only were they not provoked by the death of their leader to attack Baiyi, instead, they looked as if they had seen some kind of horrifying existence, shrieking as they scattered like birds and beasts.
"Bastards!" Baiyi snorted coldly. He used his mana to lift the young man, who had fallen into a deep slumber due to his Hypnosis Spell. Then, he flew into the air and looked down at the fleeing bandits. Instinctively, he summoned the Book of Servitude and prepared to unleash a forbidden spell to wipe them all out.
However, the Book of Servitude, which he had been using like an extension of his arm, did not react at all.
Baiyi was taken aback. He quickly used his consciousness to sense the Book of Servitude. It was still in his consciousness, and nothing seemed to be amiss. Why was it not listening to him?
"Sh * t …" Baiyi suddenly realized something.
"Damn it! How could I have made such a huge mistake in such a trivial situation?!" Baiyi muttered regretfully. He looked down at the bandits, who were now scrambling like ants. Left with no choice, Baiyi flew into the air and used his spells to kill them one by one.
For a moment, the entire forest was filled with the wails of the bandits. Corpses of bandits littered the ground.
A few moments later, the forest fell silent.
"They're all dead, right? A forbidden spell could have taken care of this, but now it's a bloody massacre … "Baiyi grumbled as he hovered in the air." The most important thing is, don't let anyone find out … "
Baiyi was more concerned about the Book of Servitude, so he did not bother to search the area carefully. Instead, he flew away with the young man.
After Baiyi and Baiyi had flown far away, a bandit who had been hiding under a pile of corpses suddenly crawled out. When he saw the hell-like scene around him, and when he saw the puddle of black blood beneath his feet, he threw his head back and burst into tears.
Baiyi did not care if any of the bandits were still alive. As he flew, he carefully examined the Book of Servitude, but he did not notice anything amiss. His psychic energy, which covered a large area, did not detect anything amiss either. Then, Baiyi muttered to himself, "I don't think anyone found out, right? That old geezer has always been careless and careless, so he shouldn't have been that careful, right? "
At the same time, in an open carriage far away from Baiyi, a man who looked to be in his thirties, with a face as square as a mahjong tile, was stroking the golden scepter in his hand with a solemn look on his face. His brows were slightly furrowed as if he was thinking about something.
Whether it was the extravagant decorations of the carriage or the glittering golden robe on the man's body, it was obvious that the man was a man of high status.
Outside the carriage was an entire army that was slowly advancing in a neat formation. Every soldier here had a tired but proud smile on their faces. It was obvious that this was a large army that had just returned in triumph.
On both sides of the carriage, there were mages riding white horses and holding staffs in their hands. One of them noticed the expression of the man in the carriage and urged his horse to move closer to him. He lowered his voice and asked, "Your Majesty, can't you even smile at such a victory? What a great achievement it must have taken … "
