After finishing cleaning his sword. he turned towards the passenger he was talking with just before entering the forest and asked
"Sir Could you please tie those bandits with the carriage" Samuel asked while taking a bundle of rope from his luggage and handing it to him.
"Ahh Sure! Sure!" passenger replied while still being a bit dazed about what just happened.
As for the bandits they didn't dare to resist as almost everyone here were just a normal person without much knowledge about swordsmanship.
According to their knowledge their leader could take on 9 to 10 people head on single handedly while this young man in front of them killed him in just 3 strikes.
Samuel knew exactly what this group of bandits were thinking but reality was not so simple as he knew if it wasn't for the sneak attack the outcome would have been completely opposite and right now if all of this remaining bandits attacked him at once he might take a dozen of them before sucumming and getting overwhelmed by their number.
Samuel is someone who knew his limits and wasn't ashamed to admit it the only thing he can do is work hard to overcome it.
As for right now this bandits were pretty intimidated by him so he thought of playing along bringing them back with him to let the kingdom officials deal with them and to make sure of these farce of his continues he didn't even bothered to wipe his blood off on his face to look even more intimidating. as it appears his method worked as the rest of the bandits followed his instructions without even letting out a squek.
As the carriage started to depart after witnessing this bizarre incident as the group of bandits tied in a large rope started following behind. While the main character of this entire incident was sitting quietly at the edge of the carriage keeping an eye of those bandits to make sure no commotion breaks through.
There was an eerie of silence throughout the rest of the journey as there were lot of people who had a lot to say the passengers wanted to thank the young man for saving their life and snatching them back from doors of hell and bandits who wanted to plead for mercy as the crimes they have committed would give them nothing but death penalty if they returned to the kingdom but no one said a word as the image of this person chopping each of the bandit leader's limbs and decapitating his head off was deeply ingrained in their brain and would be for the rest of their life.
The carriage arrived in the capital City of Valta
in about a day . It caused quite a commotion as carriage tied with more than 30 people running behind them with a dispirited dead look on their face landed lots of gazes towards them. Suddenly the carriage stopped and young man jumped outside of the carriage which caused even more of a commotion.
It wasn't because he was an word striking beauty or an extremely hideous monster on the contrary his appearance was as ordinary as it can get. Brown hair and Brown eyes the most common among common colours in Azaroth Continent but what was most eye-catching was his face covered entirely in blood and the look of fear on the faces of the people tied by him.
Samuel Looked around him for a second before stopping a local and asked him
"Excuse me Sorry for bothering you but could you tell me where's the office of Imperial Knights "
"Ahh why's there blood on your face" The local replied while being surprised by this young man's appearance.
"Oh! don't worry it's not mine" Samuel replied with a assured smile on his face to ease the worry of the local but on the contrary this reply caused an opposite reaction but he gave the answer Samuel was looking for.
"There right in front of you that tall tower that's the Imperial Knight's Office."
"I see thank you " Samuel replied and started heading towards the Office.
As he entered the office he few knights working busy with their own work as they didn't even gave a second glance towards Samuel niether did they cared about those people tied in ropes following behind him. To be honest he found this situation quite refreshing. Soon he found a reception located in center of the hall as he walked there and asked
"Excuse Me I'm here to hand over these Bandits"
A lazy looking guy with round glasses took a glanced towards Samuel and then the group of bandits tied together perfectly and asked.
"Wait a minute where did you found them ? "
" In the Great Yellow Forest "
"Is that all of them "
"There was another one among them. he was killed "
"Okay recount what happened without missing a detail. "
Samuel recounted the incident exactly as it transcribed without any exaggeration as the receptionist listened without showing any change in emotion and replied
"I see"
"I'll leave them here. Then I'll take my leave."
Samuel began to walk away but he stopped as soon as a voice suddenly came from
"Hey Wait take your Bounty before you go"
"Huh! Bounty ?"
"Haah! You didn't even know that?I though it was weird when you came here instead of Bounty hunter's Office "
