Her clothes were intact and there were no signs of abuse, but her face was extremely pale.

This is not just because of the incredible drama going on in the cave next door.

And because it just happened.

The two bandits who went to the town of Bournemouth to gather intelligence have returned.

At this moment, the leader of the Gale Bandits was standing in front of Irene.

The two younger brothers next to her were looking at the shivering girl with malicious eyes.

"Boss, we went to the town of Bona to confirm that the wizard has no apprentice at all. This girl is full of lies. Maybe even her name is fake."

"Are you really sure about this?"

Chapter 45: Have you seen my pet?

The bandit leader confirmed the situation again and again, because Irene had money to buy potions, and the robe and wizard hat on her body were also real things. If she was just a helpless wizard apprentice, how could she have the money to buy these things?

So after arresting Irene, he didn't dare touch her.

I was afraid that something unexpected would happen and anger some powerful wizard.

Then all the foundation he has worked so hard to build will be in vain.

"Boss, we are completely sure." The bandit on the left sneered:

"We also specifically asked that gentleman, and he personally admitted that he had no mage apprentice. He also said that if anyone pretended to be his apprentice and asked us to tell him, he would deal with the matter seriously."

Now that things had come to this, the bandit leader no longer had any doubts.

He squatted down and pulled the girl's hair, causing her to lift up her tear-stained face.

He said in a sinister tone: "How dare you play tricks on me? I remember I warned you."

Irene's scalp hurt from the bandit leader's rough behavior.

She had already foreseen her fate, and fear was like an ice cube stuck in her throat, leaving her with only broken and weak whimpers.

"Did you hear the sound next to you?"

The bandit leader motioned for Irene to listen to the increasingly miserable wails beside him.

"This is the daughter of a fallen noble. We had already agreed with that old man that we would redeem her for 50 gold coins and we would not touch a hair on her body. But if we didn't get the 50 gold coins within the stipulated time, we would torture her to death. The noble didn't believe it and insisted on asking the knights of Borna Town for help. But the knights would never go deep into the Sunset Forest, especially not risk their lives for the daughter of a fallen noble. So you can hear it now. She is in a miserable state!"

To make the girl in front of him even more desperate.

The bandit leader ordered his men to drag the nobleman's daughter over.

As the footsteps faded away, the screams from next door stopped for a moment.

Only faint whimpers were left.

Soon a girl covered in bruises was dragged in front of Irene.

She looked even younger than Irene, but her eyes had been gouged out.

These brutal robbers tortured her in all kinds of horrific ways.

She lay at Irene's feet with her head down, as if she had just been fished out of a pool of blood.

"Boss, keep going! There are still seven or eight brothers who haven't enjoyed it yet!"

"Hahahaha!"

From next door came the sounds of the robbers talking and laughing.

In their eyes, it is not a human life at all, but just an entertainment tool.

Irene didn't understand why a bandit group of only fifty people could be so arrogant.

Could it be that the knights in Bona who always talk about justice and glory turn a blind eye to all these sins?

And those wizards who think they are extremely noble, perhaps saving this girl is just a matter of a few spells.

There is one thing the bandit leader said that was indeed correct.

Their cruelty is definitely no less than that of monsters.

Compared to these bandits, Caesar was already extremely merciful.

But no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't change what she was facing now.

Unless Caesar can come to rescue her.

But Irene knew very well that the possibility was very slim.

She began to regret that she should have waited where she was instead of running around.

She had figured it out during her time in captivity.

Caesar must have encountered some urgent matter that needed to be dealt with, otherwise he would not have abandoned her in the Sunset Forest. Otherwise, he would not have had to assign her this task or that task, and give her so much money. He could have just found a place to abandon her, and with her stupid brain, there would be no way she could find the way back.

If Caesar finds her.

Should he help her get revenge?

It's just a pity that she failed to complete the task assigned by Caesar. She is such a bad girl...

"Well, it's time to let our noble daughter rest. Now it's your turn, Miss Fake Mage Apprentice. I hope we can have a pleasant evening."

The bandit leader dragged Irene inside.

But suddenly, he heard the screams of his bandits outside the cave, followed by a loud noise and the ground shaking slightly, as if something heavy had fallen from a high altitude near the cave.

"What's going on? What are you yelling about?"

However, the bandit leader got an even more miserable wail in response.

problem occurs.

The bandit leader reacted immediately, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. Could it be that the impoverished noble really invited the knights from the town of Borna?

That shouldn't be the case. He had clearly made arrangements with those knights in advance.

"You two go out and take a look!"

The bandit leader threw Irene aside and slipped into the next cave.

The other two robbers walked outside trembling with weapons in hand.

Just as the bandit leader put on his equipment and came out of the next cave with another group of people, the two bandits who had just gone out to explore the way were thrown in at the same time, but they were already two corpses.

A dark shadow shrouded everyone's eyes.

The bandit leader's eyes were filled with horror and his face was pale.

The entire gap in the cave was completely blocked by the demon's huge body, and he was even slightly hunched over.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen."

Caesar held the body of a robber in one hand, and pinched the robber's head with his big hand. His fingers gradually tightened, and his pair of red eyes looked around, looking at the robber and looking for Irene's trace.

"I'm looking for my lost pet...

I wonder if you gentlemen have seen it?"

Caesar's eyes finally fell on Irene.

The little girl was staring at him blankly with her eyes wide open, as if she had never expected that he would appear at this time.

"Pet, I don't know what kind of pet you are looking for..." The bandit leader showed a flattering smile on his face.

He didn't have time to think about why the demon in front of him could speak the common language of the continent fluently, but it was a good thing to be able to communicate, maybe he could fool him.

"That was a black-haired girl wearing a wizard robe. I suspect someone kidnapped her. What do you think?"

Caesar took two steps forward and looked down at the bandit leader coldly, his eyes full of mockery and rising murderous intent.

"me……"

The bandit leader's lips trembled.

Under the terrifying pressure of the third-level monster.

He had no thought of resisting. His feet felt as if they were filled with lead, heavy and stiff. He couldn't even turn around and take a step.

How could there be a demon here?

How did it find here?

How could this girl be related to the demon?

Questions emerged in the bandit leader's mind one after another. In his blank brain, there was only the sound of his heart beating wildly, which gradually turned into the "clack" sound of his teeth chattering.

"Pfft-"

At a certain moment, Caesar's fingers suddenly clenched.

The head he was holding in his hand also shattered, with red and white splashing all over the bandit leader's face, causing his psychological defenses to collapse instantly.

"I, I will fight with you!"

He widened his eyes, roared almost crazily, and staggered forward two steps. The machete in his hand was crooked and slipped from his hand before it touched Caesar's armor.

This man is frightened out of his wits.

It's so boring.

Caesar curled his lips in disgust.

He saw the broken body of another girl nearby, who had apparently been tortured inhumanely by the robbers.

Humans are like this, they are extremely cruel to their own kind, but when facing demons, they become timid and lose their courage, turning into pathetic cowards.

Chapter 46: Don’t you miss your Kate?

The bandit leader hammered his hand on the armor, but it seemed powerless. This ridiculous attack could not penetrate the armor's defense at all, and his palm was even scratched by the sharp barbs on the Boiling Blood armor.

"Ah!" The bandit leader felt like he had hit a nail.

Caesar grabbed the bandit leader's shoulder with his backhand, lifted the human up with almost no effort, and then swung him against the rock wall next to him with a "bang". This blow was fatal, and he only groaned, blood spurted out of his mouth, the fear in his eyes had not yet dissipated, but his body was already twisted beyond recognition.

This bandit leader might have some strength, perhaps a first or second level fighter.

But in the face of unreasonable force.

All resistance and skill seemed futile.

"The boss was killed by the demon!"

"Run!"

The remaining bandits in the cave were frightened out of their wits.

They may have forgotten that they were robbers, and taking hostages was the best option at this time. They ran around in the cave like headless flies. They looked for corners to hide in. However, there was no back door prepared in this cave, so no matter how they hid, they could only live a few more minutes.

Caesar asked Irene to go out and wait first, because he would not be able to take care of anyone if he started killing people.

After Irene met up with Shana outside, he turned and walked into the cave, slowly searching for the rats hiding under the tables, beds, and cabinets. He listened to their incoherent pleas for mercy, watched them kneel on the ground and grovel, and then twisted their heads off and crushed them into pieces.

The remaining carcasses can serve as an excellent source of meat.

After the matter is over, let Broken Tooth bring the goblins to clean up the battlefield.

. . .

Not long after, the screams in the cave stopped abruptly.

No living humans were found inside.

Caesar also found a surprise in the cave - it was the property accumulated by the bandit leader, stored in a warehouse. One of the boxes contained some small gold coins, a rough count showed that there were more than a hundred of them. Other than that were some ordinary weapons and armor, which were meaningless to him, but could be used to arm the monsters under his command.

When he packed up his things and left the cave.

Shana and Irene were whispering something.

The elf lady Cersinati was bored and studying the ants on the ground.

"Erin, Mr. Caesar didn't abandon you." Shana hugged Erin, comforted the crying girl, and said softly: "The nest was attacked by a powerful monster. Fortunately, Mr. Caesar noticed it early and came back to support us in time, otherwise all the goblins and I would have been killed by that monster."

"Ah...Is that so?"

Mr. Caesar really left because of something important.
