The giant bat followed the man from a distance and led them to the foot of a mountain.

At the foot of the mountain was a deep cavern, and the disorderly traces of human activity were apparent outside.

Bang!

The man kicked over the iron pot in front of the cave and yelled, “Stop fucking hiding; pack your things and leave quickly.”

Rumble!!

A group made up of orcs and humans rushed out of the cave, carrying all sorts of weapons.

“Poker, have you lost your mind? You were supposed to keep a lookout and wait for the ransom. What are you yelling about?” A beast-like orc, carrying a studded mace, roared aloud.

He expressed his anger and dissatisfaction at Poker’s unauthorized return.

“Screw the ransom. There’s an undead army coming from the north, thousands strong. You’re still thinking about money when we’re about to lose our lives,” Poker continued to shout.

“Doesn’t that old man care for his daughter’s life? He dared to bring an army?”

“I told you, they are coming from the north, the undead. What the hell is in your head? Hurry up and pack. Take the girl as well, let’s dodge this batch of undead and think about the ransom afterwards.” Poker rushed into the cave and brought out a little girl.

The little girl’s hands were tied, and her eyes were blindfolded.

“Alright, quickly pack your things, leave the useless stuff, take all the valuables.”

Everyone started moving, taking out all the valuable items.

“Where are we running to?”

“To the east.”

“Let’s go.” The bandit group started fleeing towards the east.

And behind their group, the skeleton giant bat continued to observe their movements.

After a few minutes.

Listened to the footsteps, Poker looked terrified at the silver-haired woman blocking their path, and the undead cavalrymen behind them.

How could this be?

How did they know our escape route and alter it?

Thud thud thud!!

Dense footsteps caused a minor trembling of the ground.

The White Bone Army approached in an orderly manner, encircling this small group of just over 40 men.

“Ho-how could you…” Poker’s face turned pale. He then quickly realized, “You deliberately let me go… to track me…”

“Well done, Poker. As promised, the ransom will be paid to you as compensation.”

A voice resonated from within the undead army, it was the skull with blue flames in its eye sockets.

Poker was slightly taken aback, trying to infer the meaning of the skeleton’s words. In a rage, he yelled, “Don’t trust him, they…”

Thud!

A muffled sound interrupted Poker as a spike from a mace penetrated his skull.

Unbelievable was etched in Poker’s eyes. He gave a confused gaze towards his rear, looking at the large orc holding the mace.

‘You, you idiot…”

Poker died, his eyes still wide open, filled with terror and disbelief.

“Damn, he even dared to betray us. I hate people who call me brainless.” The Orc flicked the blood bead off the mace and spat on the corpse.

Then, he turned towards Fang Hao and coldly said, “Humph! Your number doesn’t matter. As long as this little girl is in my hands, I dare you to take any action. If she dies, I would like to see how you explain it to Tavek.”

The orc was holding the little girl, arrogantly taunting.

Gloating that he wasn’t afraid because he had a hostage.

“I don’t know Tavek. How could you threaten the undead with a human?” Fang Hao countered.

The orc frowned slightly and shouted, “Bullshit, wasn’t it Tavek who asked you to save his daughter? You just promised to give Poker the ransom money. Do you think you can deceive me with your dreams?”

“I really don’t know Tavek, and I was only bluffing you just now based on your conversation.”

“Impossible.” The orc could not accept this fact. He turned and looked at his companions, “Don’t believe him. It was Poker who betrayed us, that’s why I killed him. It has nothing to do with him always giving me nicknames.”

The moment his companions turned, they involuntarily took a step back.

“Kill him!!” Seeing the orc turned his back towards him, Fang Hao immediately gave the order.

The skeleton archers who had been steadily aiming all this while, let go of their bowstrings.

The bowstrings oscillated, and the air echoed with a high-frequency hum.

The next second, thud thud thud!

Arrows pierced the back of the orc who turned back towards Fang Hao. It looked like a standing porcupine before collapsing onto the ground.

At the moment the orc fell, all the skeletons launched an attack on the other kidnappers.

The number of kidnappers was too small, not creating any significant trouble.

Just after a brief confrontation, they were overwhelmed by the undead.

After the battle, they started to clean up the battlefield.

Fang Hao then approached the little girl hostage.

Her hands were tied, and her eyes were covered.

“We’re not the kidnappers, and we won’t hurt you. I’m going to remove the rag from your mouth to ask you a few things,” Fang Hao tried to make his tone as calm as possible, but the rasp of the undead still sounded unsettling.

The little girl nodded, behaving very obediently.

Fang Hao removed the cloth from her mouth, and the girl indeed didn’t scream or shout.

“Where is your home? Is Tavek your father?” Fang Hao asked.

“I live in Pruell City, my father is Tavek, he’s a cloth merchant. He’ll pay you a handsome reward if you’re willing to take me home,” the little girl said in a steady manner.

Wow!

This child is extraordinary, not only calm but also very astute.

At the same time, Fang Hao realized why Poker had claimed to be a cloth merchant. It turned out the girl who’d been kidnapped was the daughter of a cloth merchant, so that’s what they thought of when lying.

“I live in a city to the north. Do you know how to get to your city?” Fang Hao continued asking.

He usually relied on the map when he was traveling.

If he didn’t have her exact location on a map, even if he wanted to help, Fang Hao wouldn’t find the place.

“Yes, my father took me to many places, I have a good sense of direction. Just let me survey the surroundings, and I can find the way,” the little girl said.

“Alright, then you follow me back first, prepare a bit, and then I’ll take you home.”

“Okay,” the little girl obediently agreed.

Falling from the kidnapper’s hands into someone else’s, the little girl had no other choice.

Fortunately, the person who was talking to her was willing to communicate and appeared quite friendly.

The girl’s hands were untied, but her eyes were still covered, and she was told not to remove the blindfold, or Fang Hao wouldn’t take her home.

The girl agreed and sat quietly, waiting.

After the battlefield was cleared, everyone started taking the girl back home.

At noon, Pruell City welcomed two new guests.

The sun was blazing, the air somewhat warped from the heat, and pedestrians squinted because of the glaring sunlight.

A man and a woman riding horses entered the city.

The man was a young human, sitting tall on his horse, hands tightly clasping the reins, chest thumping like a victorious knight.

But what really drew attention was his attire.

He wore a mage’s robe with a bright silver metal armor outside, a knight’s iron sword at his left side, a ruby-encrusted magic wand on his right, and a dazzling golden dagger on his belly.

What was this? A knight? A mage?

A mage knight?

Well, doesn’t seem like anyone heard of that profession before.

Looking at the woman behind him, she was from the Beast Clan, in leather armor, and had a pair of tiger’s claws hanging at her waist.

While Pruell City does not discriminate against the Beast Clan, it is still a human city, and seeing members of the Beast Clan, aside from merchants, was rare.

There was a human little girl sitting in front of the woman.

She kept pointing here and there, like a guide, introducing the city to the Beast Clan girl.

“Hey! Isn’t that Tavek’s little girl? I heard she was kidnapped, and he was raising ransom money recently, right?”

“Yes, my wife’s younger brother’s cousin works for Tavek, he told me that Tavek’s little girl was kidnapped.”

“Tavek must’ve secretly hired mercenaries to get her rescued.”

“That can’t be right, my wife’s cousin said that these days Tavek was about to sell off his property to raise the ransom. He never mentioned hiring mercenaries.”

“Are you daft? They’d definitely keep it a secret. If your cousin knew, the kidnappers would too.”

The two strode into the city.

They were coming in with Tavek’s missing daughter, even after verifying their identities and intentions at the city gate, they still drew the attention of the patrolling soldiers.

“Both of you, please state your purpose..”
