Chapter 206 Dead Of Night [Pt 3]
'Strange...'
As Rey listened to the story that Yuri force fed to him, he felt something off about the entire situation.
'From how she described them, they don't seem like mere bandits.'
Their coordination, gear, and most of all... their abilities.
It was true that bandits existed in tiers, but it was very unlikely to see an entire group of bandits have that level of consistent power.
Besides, this was an established path by the KariBlanc Group, which was a big deal in the criminal underworld.
Rey found it strange that a mere group of bandits would want to attack their caravan and risk pissing off thr KariBlanc Group.
'Last but not least, their mode of operation—or should I say their method of attacking—feels shady.'
Bandits employed several strategies, but the one Rey had seen wasn't one of them.
At least, according to what he had studied on the subject. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
'A bombardment of projectiles is used during times of war or intense conflict—where the goal is to obliterate your opponent.'
Yet...
'Why would bandits use such a method that risks harming the merchandise?'
Sure, the bombardment could also be used for ambushes, but it was almost always fatal and destructive,
Bandits could not afford to have their prospective items be damaged. It would reduce in value if that happened, or it could even have none.
As Rey stared at Yuri's face, he could tell that she wasn't thinking about any of these things.
She just seemed to be looking forward to the next fight.
"Your face..." Rey found himself blurting out as he noticed a splatter of blood around her cheek.
"Hm?"
Yuri didn't know what he was referring to, causing Rey to sigh.
It was too distracting, so he swiftly brought out a black linen fabric and used it to scrub her face.
In no time at all, the stain vanished.
"A-ahh! T-thank you... Sir Ralyks." She mumbled, suddenly acting flustered for the first time since they met,
'What's her deal?' Rey wondered to himself as he immersed himself back into his thoughts.
In no time at all, he arrived at a conclusion.
"I don't think those men were bandits."
The moment he said this, Yuri raised her brows and waited for him to explain.
"If I had to guess, I'd say they're more interested in making us fail, or destroying us and our goods, rather than plundering them."
"W-what?! Already?!"
A head of sweat appeared on his face as soon as he heard that.
'What the hell did Miller do? How did he let them get past so easily?'
To be honest, Fabian wanted his comrade—Miller—to fail, but not before whittling down the numbers of the KariBlanc Group's traveling members.
He would pick apart the rest and end up with all the glory.
Unfortunately, things didn't seem to be going down that route.
"Miller isn't fodder, though. How would he and his squad lose so quickly?"
Sure, they excelled in long-range attacks, but he expected some time to be drawn out.
'But Jack's Exclusive Skill doesn't lie. If that's what happened, then that's what happened...' Fabian sighed.
He just had to ensure that he took care of the mess by himself.
"S-sir, something's coming!" The voice of Jack, his right-hand man, soared through the air.
"W-what are you—?"
~SWISH!~
Before Fabian could complete his words, he saw a slit that completely encircled Jack's neck.
And then—
"E-eh...?"
Blood splashed everywhere, dousing Fabian in the crimson liquid of the man he had just been speaking to.
He looked around him and noticed that more heads were flying in the air and bodies were collapsing to the ground.
'W-what is happe—?"
Before he realized it too, his own head floated above his body.
Before Fabian even got to do anything, he realized the reason why Miller had lost.
'... FUCK!'
The enemy was too strong.
