Chapter 14 - Attack On The Bandit Camp

The adventureres waited tensely as they watched the bandit camp. The leader of the bandit group stood up and started giving speeches.

" There, we finally have our big haul friends. Let's take all the valuables and get wealthy. " He said this and pointed towards Herbert Marvin who was lying unconscious.

" What shall we do after we get all the valuables ? Should we kill him ?" asked a bandit.

" What's the rush ? After we get all we can from him, we will demand a hefty ransom for his release. " said the leader with a smile.

Gojo felt a faint slap on his shoulder. Turning around he saw Sid sitting behind him.

Lowering his voice as much as possible Sid said

" That bandit leader is named Jarvil. At a time he was known for his notoriousness. In his early days he terrorized the areas near Geradin and abducted many merchants. At that time the Lord of the land paid him ransom. After the merchants were released the Lord launched a crackdown on bandits near Geradin and captured many of them. Jarvil somehow escaped. "

He further said " Jarvil has a bounty on him. If we capture him each of us can get four silver coins as a reward. "

Hearing this Gojo made up his mind to capture Jarvil. He could earn some money and level up as well.

They waited as they saw the bandits retire in their tents as the night progressed. Gojo felt something shine on his left. Turning left he saw a torch being waved in circles. This was the signal to attack.

Gojo turned towards his companions. Both Grisella and Sid had also noticed the signal. The three of them nodded to each other and stepped out of the bushes.

They tiptoed their way to the nearest tent. There was only one bandit guarding this tent. The bandit who was guarding the tent turned out to be one of the three they had encountered on their way to Elmat.

Gojo picked up a stone and threw it behind the tent. Alerted by the noise the bandit went to check behind the tent. As he was looking around Gojo walked up to him.

" Wait you ! yo- " before the bandit could finish his sentence, three punches landed on his face knocking the lights out of him.

The scuffle had woken three bandits sleeping in the tent. They came out to check what was going on. Gojo quickly pounced on one of them and knocked him unconscious. Grisella took on one of them and knocked him out as well. The third one was tackled to the ground by Sid.

Now the whole camp was in chaos. The entire group of adventurers descended on the camp. All the bandits had rushed to fight against them leaving the rear part less secure.

Gojo and Grisella noticed a large tent that was guarded by five bandits. This had to be the leaders tent. The bandits also took notice of them and rushed at them. Gojo used lapse blue to hurl one of the bandits at the others knocking three of them.

Grisella sparred with another one. Gojo then entered the tent to find it empty. He heard some rustling coming out from the bushes in front of the tent. He pursued the source of rustling at full speed.

Not far from the camp the leader of the bandits was fleeing through the bushes. He had never expected the attack to happen soon. He was Jarvil so he shouldn't get caught. He heard an intense rustling in the bushes behind him.

Out of the bushes came sprinting towards him a teenager with white hair and eyes covered with a black cloth.

The teenager matched his speed and looked at him and said " will you stop running now ? You have been caught so running is useless.

Jarvil tried to outrun him, but whatever he tried the teenager caught up to him.

Finally losing hope he turned around. He had never expected to face such an obstacle.

" Fine brat, you win, you were fast. But let me tell you that the fight isn't over yet. " saying this Jarvil punched at Gojo.

Gojo dodged the punches which hit a tree beside him. The punches left two small holes on the tree. The bandit was using fortitude along with a boost which made his skills much better. A third punch was stopped by infinity.

" What the " said a surprised Jarvil.

" I guess I'd win " said Gojo with a smile and punched at Jarvil. But the punches had little effect on the leader due to the fortitude skill.

" Ha ha, you can't defeat me. Although your skills are pretty good. " Jarvil said and looked confidently at him.

" Alright, but what about this ?" said Gojo as he hit Jarvil with a punch and black flashes of energy became visible.

Being hit with a black flash sent the bandit leader flying and he crushed into a tree and fell unconscious.

The next day there was a feast at the Pilver town adventurers guild. Afterall the reign of Jarvil had been crushed. Gojo, Grisella and Sid received their payment and went back to join Eric Flavel as his journey continued.

The next stop would be Murdoch village.
