The God's Games

Owell looked around and realized they were out in the wild.

Given the time and place, he agreed that it might not be the best moment.

He nodded and said, "You\'re right. Let\'s focus on rescuing the people from the bandits first."

Owell stood up and asked, "Are you all rested? We\'re halfway to the bandit camp, and we\'re almost there."

The new players, under Pork Rib Boss\'s stern gaze, obediently replied, "We\'re ready."

After Pork Rib Boss\'s strict talk, the group finally got organized and followed Owell\'s lead quietly.

With this renewed energy, they managed to reach a spot near the bandit camp just before nightfall.

Pork Rib Boss instructed everyone to rest while he decided to scout the bandit camp alone.

He wanted to check out the situation before planning an attack that wouldn\'t cost too many lives.

Pork Rib Boss was very experienced with this kind of task, and the other players agreed, reminding him to be careful.

He nodded and quietly sneaked into the camp.

Outside, Spicy Flavor Fairy asked Owell how much he remembered about the bandit camp.

Owell, touching the spot where he was injured before, hesitated and said, "We were held at the back of the camp. We escaped at night. I remember there were a lot of them, around forty or fifty people."

Spicy Flavor Fairy thought about it and figured that forty or fifty bandits might not be too many.

They had fifty players in total, so they should be able to handle it.

The real concern was if the bandits decided to harm the hostages.

After all, those captured NPCs would be important later, and losing them would take away a lot of the fun in the game.

Owell hesitantly added, "Actually, a few of us have some strength, but the main problem is the bandit leader. He seems pretty strong."

The players understood that the bandit leader would be the final boss, and the boss is always the hardest one to defeat.

Before long, Pork Rib Boss returned from scouting the bandit camp, bringing back good news.

The bandits hadn\'t expected anyone to come after them at this time.

There were no guards posted around the camp.

Instead, all the bandits were gathered in the main hall, drinking and laughing as they bragged about how much money they had stolen.

Pork Rib Boss even overheard them talking.

"The demons have probably taken over Ulon Town by now, right? I bet they\'ll head this way soon. We should retreat early."

"What about the prisoners?"

"Of course, we\'ll release them all. We can use them to slow down the demons, giving us time to escape."

Hearing this made Pork Rib Boss clench his fists in anger, but to avoid alerting the bandits, he stayed quietly and brought the information back.

Master PungPong responded, "What are we waiting for then? If no one\'s guarding the place, let\'s attack now!"

Pork Rib Boss shook his head, "I watched them for a while. They\'ve eaten a lot and drunk plenty of alcohol. They\'re about to fall asleep. If we wait until they\'re asleep, we can make sure the attack goes smoothly."

Everyone agreed that his plan made sense and nodded in agreement.

While waiting, Pork Rib Boss started giving orders.

He told Owell to take some players to find and rescue the town residents that was captured by the bandits.

The rest would go with him to the bandits\' main hall to take down those scumbags.

This time, they were fully equipped, and half of the players had become priests, making their overall strength much greater than the bandits\'.

As night fell, at Pork Rib Boss\'s command, the players charged in.

Flower Deer and Spicy Flavor Fairy went with Owell, while Master PungPong followed Pork Rib Boss, wanting to show the audience the big battle in this quest.

When they burst into the main hall, they saw that things were just as Pork Rib Boss had said.

Most of the bandits had eaten, drunk, and fallen asleep on the spot, not even noticing the players\' entrance.

At the front of the hall, a man put down the piece of meat he was holding.

With sharp, eagle-like eyes, Butch stared at the players and asked them with a mocking tone, "Who are you?"

He could tell these people were here to cause trouble, but the problem was that he had already scouted the area beforehand.

To the north, there was a small town, and heading south would take you to Viscount Hereford\'s Lindblum City.

All the other towns were too far away, and with the demons closing in, who would risk coming to rescue anyone?

But then, where did this group come from?

Pork Rib Boss didn\'t answer his question. Instead, he asked, "So you took advantage of the situation and captured the people from Ulon Town?"

Butch calmly wiped his hands with a cloth on the table and replied slowly, "You really came to rescue them? Could it be that those few rats who escaped a few days ago found their master?"

He started talking to himself, "It doesn\'t make sense. Knowing Viscount Hereford\'s cowardly nature, he wouldn\'t send anyone to rescue them. Judging by your appearance, you\'re not sent by that pig-headed Viscount, right?"

Pork Rib Boss could tell from his tone that this man wasn\'t ordinary.

Of course, the leader of a bandit group who is capable of doing such things wouldn\'t be ordinary.

If it weren\'t for the God of Light summoning the heroes, Ulon Town would have been destroyed by the demons, and the people captured by the bandits would have soon shared the same fate.

From his words, Pork Rib Boss recognized the name Viscount Hereford and understood what he was talking about.

The new beta test players hadn\'t done the quarry quest, so they didn\'t understand the name he mentioned, but Pork Rib Boss remembered it right away.
