So I'm a sheep.

After four laps, she finally regained her cheerful mood.

"Hey, Fifteenth Brother, why are you running all the time? Let's have a go at it!"

The swordsman stopped the girl, his face full of eagerness: "The leader was the first person to block my sword-drawing technique. I wonder if you can be the second?"

"Don't mention that gloomy guy!"

Sasha kept rubbing the back of her hands: "I've got goosebumps again."

"Uh, you two had a fight?"

"No, I just discovered his true colors."

The fifth brother chuckled: "The real face? Not necessarily."

"Ok?"

"The boss is actually a very generous person."

ha?

Sasha had a look on her face that said, "Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not lying to you, we've known each other since we were kids."

"A person with a gloomy personality can't unite us, nor can they be a leader. It's just...sigh."

The fifth brother sighed: "He's been so repressed all these years that his true nature has been suppressed, turning him into this monstrous figure."

"Who is suppressing him?"

The swordsman didn't answer. He seemed to have lost interest, waved to the girl, and walked away without looking back.

.....................................

The Forty Thieves are back!

When a group of people in red coats stopped the first caravan and demanded a toll, and then, as was customary, let them into the city, the news spread like wildfire throughout Bamberg.

"Those bandits are out again?"

"They've already left!"

Why are you keeping such a close eye on our city of Bamberg?

The town's residents were furious, and the Earl nearly fainted on the spot upon hearing the news.

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"

Count Bambe was trembling all over: "A bunch of bandits, just a bunch of bandits."

"Dare to ride roughshod over me? I'll take their lives!"

"master"

Pluto immediately said, "Tonight, I will light the beacon towers and gather my brothers to slaughter them without leaving a single survivor!"

"..."

Count Bambe was panting heavily, but remained silent for a moment.

"master?"

"You! Send someone else to inquire."

Count Bambe said through gritted teeth, "Could there be some misunderstanding here?"

You can tolerate this?

Pluto stared at his master in disbelief, only to see veins bulging on his forehead, looking as if he were about to devour someone.

"Yes!"

The captain of the guards dared not utter a word and immediately responded respectfully.

The negotiator was quickly dispatched; it was the same old face.

"Oh? It's you again. We do seem to have some kind of connection."

The leader's face was covered by a cloth, but his voice remained unchanged, which the negotiator immediately recognized.

"It really is you guys?!"

"Of course it's us."

The leader burst out laughing: "What, you think it's someone else impersonating the Forty Thieves?"

......................................

"Boss, didn't we agree on this last time?"

Suppressing his anger, the man said in a deep voice, "This is unethical of you!"

"What did you agree on?"

The leader said slowly and deliberately, "Did I promise you I'd just take the money and leave? To be honest, I did take the money and leave last year."

"Now that they've run out of money, they're coming back to ask you for more. What's wrong with that?"

"..."

"The Earl's mansion is not to be trifled with."

The man shouted, "It's not that Master Banbei can't deal with you, it's just that he doesn't need to really fight you bandits!"

"I advise you to think twice, otherwise..."

Snapped!

A whip lashed the man's face, stinging with pain.

"Go back and tell your master."

The chieftain looked down at him and said, "If he's really a nobleman, and if he's really a man, then let's have a real fight!"

"If you don't have the guts, then hand over all the valuables in the Earl's mansion."

"Get out!"

Clenching his fists tightly, the man turned and walked away.

Hearing the laughter behind him, he felt a surge of hatred!

A bunch of bandits have rebelled against the heavens!

After relaying the chief's words to the Earl verbatim, the beacon towers in Bambe were lit that very night.

Volume 1: Chapter 639 Charge With Me!

As soon as the beacon tower was lit, the chief knew immediately that Count Bambe had begun recalling his cavalry.

It was impossible for 378 cavalrymen to hide in the small city of Bambe; otherwise, word would have leaked out long ago.

Normally, those cavalrymen are left to roam freely; they might be the 'bandits' that some unfortunate merchant caravan encounters.

As he silently watched the beacon tower, he suddenly heard the third brother's voice.

"The next battle is going to be fierce. I'll go and persuade the fifteenth sister to lend you a hand!"

Upon hearing this, the leader shook his head.

“You may have a good relationship, but the fifteenth prince won’t listen to this kind of request.”

"She's not a thief, why would she help us kill soldiers?"

"What kind of soldier is that!"

The third son said indignantly, "Only His Majesty's soldiers are true 'soldiers,' while Count Bambe's cavalry is merely his private army!"

The leader smiled, but it was a forced smile.

"Third brother, are you still a royalist even now?"

"Don't laugh so sarcastically!"

The third prince was furious: "I was taught from childhood to be loyal to His Majesty. Although I put myself first now, how did some of the things I said offend you?"

"..."

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

The leader said with a wry smile, "You're right, Count Bambe is a thief, and his soldiers are not soldiers at all."

"But let's forget about the fifteenth prince. At most, we'll bring her over to supervise the army, but we can't let her participate."

"What?"

The third brother asked doubtfully, "Isn't this a perfect opportunity for the fifteenth brother to show off his skills and gain more attention from the higher-ups?"

"To be valued by those above? Ha, you really don't understand the Fifteenth Prince."

The leader's brows furrowed with a smile: "The fifteenth sister is a free woman; she will not pledge allegiance to anyone."

Even our Emperor!

..........................................

The third brother always thought that the man was going to great lengths to train the young girl in order to forge a powerful weapon for the organization, but it seems that this is not the case.

“If the fifteenth prince proves himself on the battlefield, it won’t be so easy to make him ‘disappear’ afterward.”

"The fact that two years' worth of potent medicine was used on her has already piqued the curiosity of those in higher-ups; now they want her to make a splash..."

Why exactly did you train the fifteenth prince?

The third brother interrupted the leader: "It can't be that they cherish talent, can it?"

Half and half

Seeing the third brother glaring at him, the leader laughed and said, "Indeed, we cherish talent. The fifteenth brother is only sixteen this year, yet he already overpowers everyone, and his strength is second only to mine."

"Give her another two or three years, can you imagine how powerful the fifteenth prince will be?"

"If this kind of person doesn't choose the wrong profession, given a little opportunity, he can immediately become a great hero famous throughout the kingdom!"

The third brother suddenly seemed lost in thought; the man's words sounded familiar.
