Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

Chapter 298 Rescuing Xiaozhai

"What do you mean? You don't want to participate in their festival, but you want to hook up with their women?!" Zhao Manyan blurted out without thinking.

"Do you think everyone is like you? Lin Chen definitely has his own plans," Jiang Shaoxu said.

At this moment, she realized that Lin Chen did not intend to take her to visit the Fragrant Herb Village.

"Tell me about it?" Mo Fan asked, somewhat curious.

"It seems your observation skills are still somewhat lacking along the way!" Lin Chen said. Then, Lin Chen took out a bounty from his storage ring. The face drawn on it was almost identical to the ornamental woman he had just met at the entrance of the small village. Moreover, below the portrait were two lines of text: Red Ornament Guild, Oni.

"She's a robber!" Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed in surprise as he accepted the reward.

"I see." Zhao Manyan immediately looked enlightened, but a moment later, a look of indignation crossed his face: "Damn it, why did you have to tell me now? At least let me get home run! Now I've lost all my mood!"

"Idiot, all you know is women!" Jiang Shaoxu glanced at Zhao Manyan disdainfully and asked Lin Chen, "Since you knew this man was a robber, why didn't you tell the captain and the others?"

"Although the bounty doesn't specify a particular amount, since it's called a bounty, there must be a reward. A bandit gang that's reduced to robbing a small village can't be very strong. I can take them down by myself."

"Why should I share the bounty with other people?" Lin Chen explained.

"Wow, Lin Chen has a bounty to earn, and you didn't even call me? Don't you know I'm short of money? You don't treat me like a brother at all," Mo Fan said.

"With your and Lao Zhao's personalities, do I even need to call you? You would have followed me here if you had seen me coming!" Lin Chen said, then changed the subject: "If I didn't consider you a brother, would I have lent you so much money? Why don't you pay me back first?"

"Hehe, I misunderstood you. You've always been my good brother. As for this money, I'll pay you back when I have it." Mo Fan chuckled, his gaze falling on the woman guarding the entrance to the village. "I wonder how much they're worth. I hope they're worth a lot."

"Never mind them, let's take them down first." Lin Chen said, summoning Black Gatomon and sending Zhao Manyan to distract Oni.

Although Zhao Manyan had lost interest in Oni, who was a bandit, he was still very skilled at pretending to be a lustful lecher.

While Zhao Manyan was flirting with other girls, BlackGatomon quietly approached Oni from behind. Before Oni could notice anything amiss, BlackGatomon leaped onto the back of Oni's head and knocked her unconscious on the spot.

After dealing with Oni, Lin Chen and the others quickly stepped forward and tied her up with ropes they had prepared beforehand. Then Zhao Manyan released a water ball at Oni, waking her from her unconsciousness.

The moment Ouni awoke, Jiang Shaoxu cast a mental spell on her. Under the influence of the spell, Ouni told Lin Chen and the other three about the current situation in Xiangcao Village.

"These bandits from the Red Ornament Guild are truly wicked. Luckily, Lin Chen, you discovered them this time, otherwise the people in this small village might have lost both their lives and their wealth," Jiang Shaoxu said.

"Sigh, you're such a beautiful woman, a high-level mage at that, why did you have to become a robber?"

"And she even joined such a vile organization." Zhao Manyan stood beside Ouni and sighed.

"Old Zhao, if you really like her, we've already tied her up for you, even used mind magic. Why don't you just make do?" Mo Fan teased.

"Go away, I'm not that kind of person." Zhao Manyan shook his head.

"Alright, stop teasing Old Zhao. Now that we know the general layout and number of people inside, let's get started. The later we act, the more dangerous it will be for the people in this village." After saying that, Lin Chen summoned Gatomon again.

After knocking Ouni unconscious again, Lin Chen and the others entered the small village and climbed up the grassy slope.

As they walked, Lin Chen and his companions noticed that at each key intersection, there were several mages dressed similarly to Oni, mostly men. They couldn't tell what they were talking about, but they could always hear their somewhat lewd laughter.

Under the cover of Mo Fan's shadow magic, the guarding bandit mages had no idea where Lin Chen and his companions were.

Black Gatomon, using shadow magic as cover, silently appeared beside the guarding mages, killing them instantly before they could make a sound.

"Not a single one will be left alive?" Zhao Manyan asked.

"Why keep them alive? These bandits are all notorious, and they're not even the leaders. There's no need to keep them alive. We can get the bounty for their heads anyway. If I hadn't thought that Oni would be more valuable alive, I would have killed her too. A bunch of scum," Lin Chen explained.

And so, Lin Chen and his three companions stealthily made their way to the mountain village, carrying out assassinations along the way.

There were many people in the mountain village, all gathered outside their houses in a dense crowd, numbering about three or four hundred. Around these three or four hundred people was a group of people dressed in red with ornaments all over their bodies, who should be Oni's accomplices.

"Later, Lao Zhao, you're in charge of casting defensive spells on the villagers. Jiang Shaoxu, you use mind magic to interrupt the Red Ornament Guild's spellcasting. Mo Fan and I will take care of dealing with these trash," Lin Chen instructed after observing the situation.

"OK!"

"no problem!"

After making the arrangements, Mo Fan released shadow magic and slowly crept into the crowd with Gatomon and Black Gatomon. Zhao Manyan began to draw light magic, and Jiang Shaoxu prepared to release mind magic.

The bandits were swaggering in front of the crowd when suddenly a golden constellation appeared in the sky. Golden light descended from the sky and, under Zhao Manyan's control, formed walls of light that surrounded the villagers, protecting them all.

"We're under attack! Prepare for battle!" the bandit leader shouted upon seeing the attack.

Just as they were about to unleash their magic, a mental wave emanated from Jiang Shaoxu, spreading rapidly in all directions and interrupting all the magic the Red Ornament Guild bandits were about to cast.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Fan, Gatomon, and BlackGatomon emerged from the shadows and launched an attack on the surrounding bandits.

Seeing Lin Chen and his men carrying out a bloody massacre against his own men, the pirate leader was shocked and shouted, "What do you think you're doing? We're from the Crimson Ornaments Guild! Our boss won't let you get away with this—"

"If you don't let us go, we're not planning to let him go yet!" Lin Cen said disdainfully.

With ample preparation, the battle ended very quickly. Before the villagers could even recover from their stunned state, Lin Chen and his men had wiped out all the Red Ornament Guild bandits, leaving only corpses strewn across the ground.

And the Red Ornament Guild leader, who was already terrified.
