"What do you mean by 'gone mad'? Explain things clearly."
Ma Pengxin demanded in a low voice.
"Well, this is pretty much what happened. The gang leader went mad and killed his favourite concubine, smashing her body into the wall. Then, other people also went mad, killing anyone they came across."
"Those who didn't go crazy were scared, and wanted to flee from the fortress, but somehow, although many escaped initially, in the end, only two of us were left, most of the others died. Hurry up and leave this place, there are monsters in these mountains, there definitely are."
The two men from the Red Sleeve Army recited their tale in turns.
Ma Pengxin, Lu Yan, and the other three all wore grave expressions.
"Could these two be trying to stall us from finding the bandit's hideout and used this as an excuse to deceive us?"
A Red-clad Guard suggested.
"It's possible, but what if it's true? Captain Ma, what should we do now?"
Another Red-clad Guard turned his gaze to Ma Pengxin.
