Lex furrowed her eyebrows as she attempted to analyze the situation at hand. The Qin Empire had not declared war on any country, so why would a formidable bandit gang be coming after their people? Furthermore, the knights were combat-ready and it would take at least a hundred people, most of whom were swordmasters, to be able to kill them.
Technically, the bandit gang could not be considered an army. Even so, they must have reached a certain number of members to have forced the knights to retreat.
"You!" The knight who had shouted at Saleen earlier continued bellowing.
The commander immediately held him back to prevent his subordinate from exploding with anger. As he did that, he turned towards Saleen and said, "I’m deeply sorry, sir. Please excuse my subordinate’s rude behavior."
