"Those people were here before."
As he stood there and sensed the information from the A.I. Chip, Adil thought to himself.
He stood there and frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.
"Sir, what's wrong?" A few of Adil's attendants followed behind him. Seeing Adil frowning, they were a bit confused.
"Nothing," hearing the shouts, Adil shook his head, "Let's go."
He brought his attendants to the place where the horses were tied and mounted them. With the guide leading them, they left in a certain direction, preparing to explore the next location.
Just like that, Adil carefully explored this area for a few days. Apart from the place where he had first started, he did not find anything strange.
After a while, as if there was nothing 'strange' in this area, Adil was sent to the border to meet up with the other Knight apprentices.
… …
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and a few months passed.
In a forest in the wild, a few people were carefully exploring inside.
They were dressed differently, and their bodies reeked of sweat and blood. They all looked like desperadoes, but their expressions were very nervous and even a little fearful.
They carefully walked quickly, trying their best to run forward, as if they were avoiding something.
Whoosh!
The sound of an arrow piercing through the air rang out, causing a trace of fear to appear in their eyes.
The sharp arrow had a powerful momentum, and it quickly and accurately hit one of the people's throat, nailing him to a large tree behind him. Crimson blood flowed out.
"Run!" Fearful shouts rang out, as if they had seen something terrifying. Expressions of extreme fear appeared on their faces, and they all scattered in all directions, using their fastest speed to leave this place.
In an instant, another few arrows flew over from the distance, accurately and quickly hitting the people's chests.
In front of him, the figure of a youth appeared under a large tree, holding a two-meter-long horn bow in his hand.
He looked very handsome and was only 13 or 14 years old. He wore black leather armor, and he looked like an elegant and polite young noble as he quickly walked over.
However, when they looked at this young man, it was as if they had seen a demon. Their eyes were filled with despair, and even their bodies were trembling.
"Don't run! He was alone! Let's attack together! "
Looking at Adil's figure, a man who seemed to be the leader of the group gritted his teeth and shouted at the people around him.
In the next moment, an arrow flew over and directly pierced through his chest, causing him to be unable to speak anymore.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this scene, some people gritted their teeth and hid behind the surrounding trees, preparing to gather and fight against Adil.
These people were true desperadoes, so they naturally knew what to do at this time. At this time, a mouthful of hot blood rushed to their chests, and they picked up their weapons, ready to rush towards Adil.
Of course, there were also those who didn't care and rushed out.
However, this group of people also died the fastest. In order to prevent these people from escaping, Adil directly picked up the bow in his hand, and a sharp arrow with a strong force rushed towards those people, shooting a few who attempted to escape to the ground.
At this time, the people in front of him also gathered together, holding weapons in their hands, and roared as they rushed towards Adil.
Putting down the bow in his hand, Adil's right hand instantly pulled out the cross blade at his waist, and fiercely slashed forward.
In an instant, a person's head fell from the sky, leaving behind a headless corpse that fell to the side.
The battle quickly ended.
With Adil's physique that was nearly three times that of a normal person, these people in front of him couldn't even see his movements, and were easily dealt with by him.
Pulling out his sword from a corpse, Adil's expression didn't change at all, and he quickly walked to the front.
Some of the people who had been hit by the arrows had not died yet, and now they were all lying on the ground, their bodies instinctively twitching. Among them, the most tragic was the first person, who was directly nailed to a tree by an arrow.
Adil walked forward, and directly ended these people's lives with his sword, before looking in a few directions in the distance.
In the previous chaos, there were a few people who took the opportunity to escape, and were not stopped by Adil.
With Adil's speed, it would be easy for him to catch up to them.
However, in the end, he gave up on this idea, and stayed where he was in Silence, waiting for the people behind him to come and deal with it.
He stood where he was for a while, and gradually, the sound of footsteps gradually came from beside him.
"Sir Adil!" A shout came from behind him, and a middle-aged man wearing leather armor came over with a group of guards. After seeing the ground full of corpses, he was shocked.
"Clean up the corpses here." Adil didn't say much, and said calmly.
Following the order, the group of guards around him began to clean up the corpses.
Although it was called cleaning up, it was actually to collect the spoils of war. These corpses were wearing leather armor, holding weapons, and the money they had plundered along the way. It was not a small amount of wealth, and was carefully collected by the group of guards and gathered to one side.
Adil only glanced at this process, and didn't pay much attention.
According to the usual practice, most of these spoils of war would belong to Adil, but Adil was alone, so the blood-stained leather armor and simple weapons were useless. As such, he only took the gold coins and other things that were easy to carry, and distributed the rest to the guards.
The surrounding guards also knew this, so they worked very hard to collect the corpses. From time to time, they would peel off the leather armor and clothes from the corpses, not at all disdainful of the bloodstains on them.
After collecting the spoils of war, there were only corpses left on the ground.
These did not need to be cleaned up. After a few days, wild beasts would naturally follow the smell of blood and find this place, digesting these corpses.
After a while, Adil and the others returned to their resting place. There were several other Knight apprentices sitting there, seemingly discussing something.
"Adil, did you catch up with those bandits?" A familiar voice sounded in Adil's ear, causing him to be stunned.
It was Deere, wearing leather armor and holding a large sword in his hand. He looked at Adil's figure and said with concern.
Looking at him, Adil smiled and said, "Deere, you're here too?"
Deere nodded and said somewhat helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. Recently, there have been more and more bandits appearing on the border, and the situation at the frontlines is getting more and more tense. We had no choice but to send all of us here."
"That's true." Adil thought of the situation around here during this period of time, and couldn't help but nod in agreement. He then asked with some doubt, "Was this area always this chaotic before?"
"That's not it." Deere said casually.
"This area is the border between our Ariel Kingdom and the Pod Kingdom. It used to be a chaotic place, with some savage tribes living here, as well as a large number of criminals and bandits who fled here over the years. It was a very difficult place to manage. However, even though it was chaotic before, it was still relatively stable. With the nobles led by Count Boria, these people didn't dare to act rashly even though they were all desperadoes. "
"But as you know, the frontlines have fallen into a stalemate, and the nobles can't spare any manpower. These people are starting to get restless and want to go south to plunder."
Deere sighed and slowly explained to Adil.
"Understandable." Seeing him like this, Adil revealed a gentle smile and sat down beside him. He then pulled out his cross sword and used a clean cloth to wipe off the bloodstains on it.
After a while, a guard suddenly walked to Adil's side and asked in a respectful tone, "Lord Adil, there's someone outside looking for you."
Adil turned around and looked into the distance, "Let him come directly."
The guard behind him nodded respectfully and quickly walked to the side. Not long after, a middle-aged hunter walked to Adil's side.
The hunter wore a thick leather robe and carried a large cloth bag in his hand. He had a respectful smile on his face as he stood in front of Adil in Silence.
In front of Adil, he opened the large cloth bag in his hand. Inside were some green snakes.
These were Green-eyed Snakes, and there seemed to be more than ten of them in the bag. In order to avoid snake venom, the heads of these snakes had been cut off and placed in a separate small bag.
Looking at these snakes, Adil's brows furrowed imperceptibly.
These Green-eyed Snakes had not been washed clean, and there was a strange stench coming from them. In addition, within the green snake blood that had already dried up, there was some red blood mixed in. This was quickly discovered by Adil.
This meant that someone had been bitten while catching these snakes, and the blood had splashed onto the bodies of the snakes. With the venom of the Green-eyed Snakes, a normal person would die if they were bitten. There was no such thing as luck.
The loss of a laborer was a devastating blow to the families behind these people.
Thinking of this, Adil sighed.
He could not change anything in this situation, and did not want to change anything.
No matter what the reason was in the beginning, since these people had chosen to take the risk, they should have been mentally prepared for this possibility. No matter what the final result was, it was their own choice.
He took out a bag of money that he had already prepared and threw it to the hunter. Without saying anything, he signaled for the hunter to leave.
The middle-aged hunter still had a respectful expression on his face. He inwardly estimated the weight of the bag in his hands and was immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly left respectfully.
After waiting for him to leave, a while later, Adil stood up. He picked up the bag filled with Green-eyed Snakes and walked to the side.
