Chapter 1696: Unlucky town!
From MC’s Perspective
We continued to walk down the mountain path. Soon, we reached the foot of the mountain.
After coming to the foot of the mountain, the different wandering groups parted ways. They went in different directions.
Hank and the two old men were leading the way forward. They were not going in the direction of the sand region.
Instead, they were moving away from Vulture’s Hill City. They were going towards the prosperous area, away from the remote area.
The two old men were chatting and laughing with Hank. Otto and Patrick were alert as always. Otto would know if the surroundings were not safe.
Patrick had years of experience as a bandit leader, so he could find the traces of robbers.
On the other hand, my system would warn me if there was a presence of a Magic Lord or Forbidden Wizards nearby.
Time went by.
That evening, we entered the dense forest. Yet, a lone old path ran through the middle of the forest.
It was a new experience for me. I doubted I would use the old narrow path if not for the wandering wizards.
Because I would usually use the raven aircraft. Now, I thought it was a good experience to live the life of a wandering wizard.
After traveling for some time, we reached the middle of the forest. But the sky had darkened. It was night time.
We decided to find a safe place to stay because the forest was filled with the trouble of bandits and magic monsters.
[Ding! Warning]
[Ding! Bandits were detected.]
The system voice sounded in my mind. Hearing that, I paused my footsteps. I turned towards Otto and Patrick.
They seemed to realize my movements.
Otto and Patrick turned towards me. Otto perked up his ears. His eyes glinted with understanding.
Hank and the two old men stopped after seeing them.
“What happened?” one of the old men asked.
Hearing that, I said, “Bandits!”
“There are bandits ahead. It appears to be a bandit group. But the strength of the bandits were not strong,” Otto said in a solemn tone.
Hearing that, the two old men exchanged looks.
“We heard that the bandit groups were moving in different places. We didn’t expect them to be here,” one of the old men said.
“Let’s go and deal with them,” I said.
Hearing that, everyone agreed and started walking forward. But the two old men were confused. They didn’t know why the two Supreme Wizards were quiet.
Rather, the Level-9 Wizard in the middle was talkative.
It didn’t take long for them to come across the bandit group.
The bandit team was a small-time group. Upon seeing us, they were at first keen to attack.
But when they discovered the strength of the wandering wizards, the bandit groups stopped and fled in different directions.
Seeing that, the team didn’t chase them. Instead, they continued with their journey.
Time went by.
After many hours, the group exited the dense jungle and came to the fertile plains. There were agricultural lands stretching across endlessly.
The two old men sighed. It was not their first time visiting here. Then they shared the information that there was a town located ahead.
Once we crossed the town, we would find the path ahead to the city.
Hearing that, everyone was looking forward to entering the city. But when we got near the town, something else was waiting for us.
Dense smoke and fire were covering the skies. It appeared that the town had faced some attack.
What more? So far, I had not seen a single person in the agricultural fields.
Then we rushed towards the main gate.
“Stop!”
“No one is going to enter!”
“Trespassers will be killed.”
Multiple shouts came from inside. In a flash, a few figures appeared from inside wearing bandit clothes.
Upon seeing us, they launched a direct attack without sensing the power of the Supreme Wizards here.
[Ding! Warning]
[Ding! Supreme Wizards were detected inside the town.]
A quick gleam flashed in my eyes as the system voice sounded in my mind.
“Deal with the Supreme Wizards inside first,” I said to Otto and Patrick.
Both of them nodded to me. They were still in their characters.
Swoosh!
The next second, they disappeared from the spot. The two old men went with them as well.
They were Supreme Wizards as well. For a second, they didn’t even spare a glance at us.
Only Hank and I remained on the spot.
“Master!” Hank uttered.
“Don’t worry. As long as there is no Magic Lord, we will be fine,” I said to him.
Boom!
Four Supreme Wizards killed the wizards who appeared just now. In a flash, they entered the town.
We decided to wait here. I used the system function to check whether Magic Lords or Forbidden Wizards were inside or not.
The system result was negative, which gave me double assurance.
Hank didn’t know what to do. He was actually nervous. If they didn’t have Supreme Wizards in the team, then what would have happened?
Then he suddenly realized there was a 10th Order Vine Monster with the Master, which made him sigh in relief.
Meanwhile, Otto and Patrick fought with the big bandit groups. Even the two old men failed to recognize the bandit groups.
They soon realized that there were people who wanted chaos after hearing of the destruction of Sand Fall City. The first group to take advantage was the bandit groups.
They had come here from different plains. But the unfortunate thing was that they had come across us.
About 20 minutes later, four of them returned. Their clothes remained untouched, but their expressions were gloomy.
Patrick and Otto came to my side. The two old men appeared before us. Their expressions were unsightly as well.
“What happened?” I asked them.
“The bandit groups had migrated from different plains. They had already killed the townspeople. Some of them were captured inside.”
“We have released those captured people,” Patrick said.
Otto said, “I have checked; there are no other bandits outside the city.”
