The base of the bandits was indeed well-hidden. Their hideout in the forest was located in a cave that looked like a bear's hibernation cave. Under most circumstances, no one would choose to rest in a cave like this.
After passing through the tunnel, Laing was surprised to find that it was quite spacious inside. It was obviously fortified by the bandits. There were torches hanging on the walls, and the sound of eating and playing finger-guessing games could be heard from inside.
"Go and call the door." Laing smiled as he squeezed the leader's neck. Noah was sure that if he dared to say no, his neck would be crushed in an instant.
"Boss, it's me. I'm Noah. Open the door!" The leader called the door, and it opened easily.
"Noah? Why are you back? "The bandit leader saw Noah coming in with his head lowered. He was puzzled.
"Bo … Boss, I …" The small leader walked in with a few people, cowering.
"What about me? Why are you back? Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on the camp at the foot of the mountain?! "The bandit leader shouted angrily.
"I'm the one who's looking for you."
"Who are you?!"
The newcomer seemed to be too lazy to talk nonsense with the bandit leader. He swung his war hammer without hesitation and smashed it down on the bandit leader.
"Traitor!" The bandit leader immediately realized that there was a traitor among them. He lifted the table with his leg and rolled to the side, dodging Laing's attack. The food and soup on the table splashed toward Laing. Laing dodged to the side, and the food splashed onto the leader.
"Traitor! Traitor! Noah betrayed us, brothers! Kill this knight! " The bandit leader shouted. He got up, grabbed the spear hanging on the wall, and threw it at Laing.
Laing caught the spear and threw it behind him. The spear pierced through the chest of the bandit behind him, and the strong impact nailed him to the wall.
The bandit tried his best to pull the spear out of his chest, but his efforts were destined to be futile. After a painful struggle, his body that was nailed to the wall of the cave gradually stopped moving.
"Yes, that's him. He's the boss's trusted aide. We usually call him the second boss!" He suddenly realized the situation he was in, so he shouted at Laing, "Sir … Sir Knight, I have completed your request! Goodbye! "
With that, Noah grabbed a spear and ran outside like a madman.
The bandits were stunned by the sudden turn of events, and they all stood rooted to the ground.
"Go ahead! What are you waiting for? "The bandit leader yelled crazily," Do you want this knight to kill us all? "
"If I were you, I would run because I only want to kill him. If you run in different directions, I can't split into several groups to chase after you, right?" Laing squinted his eyes as he pointed his warhammer at the bandit leader.
"… Boss is finished! Run!!! " One of the bandits shouted, and all the bandits immediately scattered and ran outside. Laing did not stop them, and in less than two minutes, only the bandit leader and Laing were left in the cave.
"What made you become bandits?" Laing raised his warhammer and slowly approached.
"The land is gone, and the house is sold. Am I supposed to wait for death at home?" The bandit leader retreated step by step, "You are the country's parasites. You took my land, my property, and now you want to take my life?"
"Ah, you are all the same. You always take everything away from the farmers. The land is ours, the food in the fields is yours, the river is ours, and the fish is yours." The bandit leader slowly calmed down. He knew that he was no match for a knight, especially after seeing the white wolf badge.
"So your way of revenge is to take the lives of the innocent people and the caravans, and take their things? After losing your own things, you want to rob others? "Laing was unmoved.
The bandit leader's story may be tragic, but which era did not have exploitation and oppression? Was it because he could not live anymore? So, those who were killed by him deserved it and deserved it?
What kind of logic was that?
"Ha!" The bandit leader suddenly jumped forward, and the longsword in his hand slashed at Laing's elbow. Laing blocked, and the longsword bounced off. The difference in strength between the two was too great. If Laing wanted to, he could take the bandit leader's life at any time.
"Tell me, what is in the mountain? I can consider letting you go, "Laing said.
"Is … is this true?" The bandit leader looked very excited.
"Of course!"
"There is a group of goblins at the other end of the mountain. They have more than 20 wolves and more than 30 spearmen." The bandit leader's back was already leaning against the wall.
"What else?"
"Uh, there seems to be a very large silver wild boar with tentacles around here, but I have not seen it before."
"Very good, what else?" Laing had already received two pieces of information. He seemed to be quite satisfied. One of his hands let go of the war hammer, and he rubbed his chin, looking very interested.
"Also … go to hell! Scum! " The bandit leader pretended to look down and think. He took out a dagger from his chest and suddenly stabbed it at Laing's chest.
The dagger was only halfway out when the bandit leader's wrist was grabbed by Laing. With an unparalleled force, the dagger was stabbed into the bandit's chest.
"You … you did it on purpose …" The bandit leader looked at the dagger in his chest in disbelief, and slowly lost his breath.
"I've thought about it carefully, and in the end, I still feel that I can't let you go," Laing smiled evilly and shook his head, "So now, your ill-gotten gains are all mine."
Laing began to take inventory of the items in the bandit's lair. The bandit's lair stored the loot that the bandits usually looted. He noticed that there was not much food left, and the weapons were also very broken. There was nothing worth taking. In the end, Laing found two gold denars from the bandit leader's corpse, which he took as his reward.
When Laing came out of the cave, he saw the bandit leader, Noah, and a few others holding torches waiting for him at the entrance of the cave. "What's wrong? Didn't I tell you to run for your lives? "
"Sir … Sir Knight! Where can we go even if we run? " One of the older bandits put a manure fork on the ground and knelt down with his hands on his head to show that he meant no harm. "We are almost out of food. If you don't mind, sir, there is still some food in the cave. Can you give it to us?"
All the loot from the bandit's raid belonged to the leading noble.
"Can you take anything else that catches your eye? We are really hungry, and there is no more food in the house. "Noah said as he knelt down.
"Sigh …" Laing let out a long sigh. Some things were unavoidable. If it were not for the fact that they could not survive, they would not have become bandits. The truly capable bandits would only appear in the main trade routes.
"The few of you can go in. Do you think bandits don't have enough to eat?" Clayon raised his hand and motioned for the bandits to enter.
"The best food is always for the boss. If there is more to be gained, then eat better. If there is no gain, then eat less to survive." The bandit leader quickly came out with a box of black bread. He greedily took out a piece and started munching on it. The way he wolfed it down almost made Laing think that he was holding a roasted lamb leg.
"I still have some black bread here. You guys can share it!" Laing also took out some black bread from his Space Ring. He did not eat it anyway, so he just gave it to them. "Go find your own way out. Don't be bandits. The snow is going to seal off the mountain soon. Hurry up and find a way out!"
"Thank you! My Lord, you are a good man. May the Lady of Wealth bless you. We will never be bandits again. We swear. " A few of the former bandits burst into tears. One of the bandits seemed to have thought of something. "That's right, this stone came from a dwarf who was passing by. We found it on his body after we killed him. You are a noble knight, so you must know how to use it. Let us part ways here."
Laing took the stone and realized that it was a dwarf's identity rune stone. However, it was severely damaged. "Alright, we will meet again if fate wills it."
"We will meet again if fate wills it!" The bandits took the food and quickly disappeared into the forest.
After watching them leave, Laing put away the rune stone and walked down the mountain.
The bandit group had been disbanded. It was time to return to the camp.
However, after taking a few steps, Laing immediately felt something strange.
The oncoming cold wind carried a slight fishy smell. Laing found that there was a large creature in the dark forest. Its body made a rustling sound as it passed through the trees.
Laing's psionic power gathered around him. He reached out and wiped his war hammer. A blue flame was ignited and burned on the head of the fine iron hammer. He had already seen what it was.
It was a large wild boar. Its body was silver, and its body was more than 2.5 meters long. Its body was extremely strong, and its two tusks were as thick as a child's arm. It was facing Laing's direction. A large amount of fog was coming out of its large nostrils. One of its front hooves was moving on the ground. Its eyes were full of hostility.
It was ready to fight.
"How unlucky. Those bandits have been here for so long, but they have not encountered this thing …" Laing clenched his war hammer. His eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Come on!
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The silver wild boar moved its front hooves and raised its right leg. It howled and charged at Laing. Its strong hind legs were full of explosive power. Its speed was very fast. In a few breaths, the wild boar rushed in front of Laing. Laing straightened his body, leaned slightly to the side, and raised his war hammer.
“boom！” When it was still three meters away from Laing, the wild boar jumped high and charged at Laing. Its huge tusks flashed with a silver luster. Its huge body pressed down from the sky, wanting to directly pierce through Laing.
"Haaaaaah!!!" Laing used all his strength. He leaned sideways and swung his war hammer. The burning head of the war hammer directly hit the wild boar's face.
"This is?!"
It did not hit anything as Laing expected. The wild boar dodged the hammer head in the air. Its silver tusks left a shallow white mark on Laing's face.
"Damn it!" The Royal Knight reached out and touched his face. If not for his extraordinary physique, he would have been disfigured.
"Roar! Roar!" The wild boar landed heavily three meters behind Laing. It howled proudly, its tail sweeping back and forth, sweeping up snowflakes. The mane on its back began to slowly stand up, and from its fur state, it gradually changed to a metallic luster.
"Whoosh!!!" The mane left the wild boar's body like steel needles, flying in rows towards the Royal Knight, whistling in the air.
Laing raised his war hammer and held it with both hands, spinning it rapidly. Laing's war hammer quickly formed a cyclone, and all the mane flying towards him were blown away.
"This …" Laing saw that a mane had become as hard as an iron rod and was deeply embedded in the trunk of a nearby tree. At this time, a blue fireball had formed in the air. Laing swung his war hammer forward, and the blue fireball flew towards the wild boar. The wild boar easily jumped to the side, and then charged towards Laing again.
"Come on! Fight! "Laing also spread his legs and rushed towards the wild boar.
Heavy riding boots and thick front hooves left footprints on the forest floor.
The wild boar's figure gradually enlarged in Laing's eyes. Just like before, when it was two or three meters away from Laing, the silver wild boar jumped again.
Now is the time!
Laing's body fell backwards, and his whole body slid directly under the wild boar as if he was lying on the snow.
The wild boar's soft and fragile belly was already in front of Laing's eyes. The Royal Knight used his war hammer, and the moment they passed each other, he viciously struck the area three inches below the wild boar's belly where the perineum was.
"Wuuuu!" The Big Wild Boar let out a shrill cry. Its body in the air was like a deflated balloon. It fell heavily on the snow and rolled a few times. It lay paralyzed on the ground, moaning. The Royal Knight got up from the snow and ran in front of the Big Wild Boar. Ignoring its pleading eyes, the Royal Knight brought his warhammer down.
"Crack!" The wild boar's skull was shattered, and white brain matter flowed out. The beast's eyes turned white, and its body twitched for a while before it stopped breathing.
"It's done." Laing exhaled. This was obviously a wild boar that had mutated after being corrupted by the chaotic energy. It had gained powerful abilities and a strong physique, and even the ability to shoot out its mane.
It was a pity that even though the wild boar had gained great strength, its intelligence had not caught up. It only knew how to charge and use its tusks to attack the enemy. At most, it had learned how to shoot out its mane. Its weakness was still its soft abdomen. This allowed Leon, who had rich combat experience, to seize the fleeting opportunity and severely injure it in one move.
Otherwise, it would have been very difficult to take down this wild boar. Its fur was harder than iron.
Looking at the large corpse, Laing suddenly knelt down on one knee and performed a standard knight's salute. His right hand was placed on his chest, and his fingers were pressed on the white wolf knight badge on his chest.
"I am willing to give the glory and spoils of this battle to the great White Wolf War God. May the white flames of the Wolf God shine forever in the North!
"Yurick gave me the wolf's fangs, Yurick gave me the wolf's claws, Yurick gave me the wolf's coat, and I will show the enemy the wolf's strength!"
After that, Laing knelt there and did not move.
