Several tens of minutes had passed since the surprise attack from Leo's forces.
And in just a short time, his troops managed to ravage this wooden fortress easily. .
Including killing most of their troops.
In the back row, Leo is seen putting a dried Mana stone in his left pocket and taking the full Mana stone in his right pocket.
"Have stopped?" Leo asked Luna who was standing next to him.
"It looks like that, sir. The power of this weapon.... If I can be honest it's too strong." Reply Luna with a slightly trembling body.
"Then we'll barge in. Create multiple teams, each team moves in 20 people. Then move at a distance of 5 meters." Obviously Leo is short.
"With immediate." Reply Luna while immediately directing his troops.
Now, Leo is walking in the front row. Behind him were 20 soldiers with rifles on standby. Ready to shoot whenever they need.
As he got closer to the wooden gate that had been destroyed by the burning scorch, Leo sped up his pace and started running.
Likewise with the 10-man squad behind him.
And upon arrival inside the fortress, Leo immediately ordered them to spread out before shouting.
"Foot!"
'Flamear!!!'
Rows of explosive sounds resounded within this wooden fortress. His voice is quite blaring. His strength was feared by everyone.
It was seen that the roughly 200 bandits left inside this fortress had kneeled in fear. Their attack could not hit Leo's army at all.
But on the contrary, attacks from Leo's forces always hit them. He killed them in just one shot.
Although, it was seen that about 30 bandits were still excited and ran towards Leo's army to attack.
Without the slightest bit of forgiveness, Leo shouted once more. Now with all his troops lined up neatly.
"Foot!"
'By!!!'
The 30 bandits who ran towards Leo, immediately fell to the ground with a lot of blood that began to wet the snow.
They all died instantly in just one shot. Including those who are still cowering in fear in the back row.
There was only one bandit in this place. That is the figure of a bandit with a tall and large body and a bald head.
"What the fuck?! What the fuck is all this?! All my hard work...." Shouted The man who was none other than Brunt.
He swung his axe with all his might towards Reina who was in front of him.
But unfortunately, with the ability that Reina had.... Avoiding such an attack was like flipping his palm.
Only with minimal movement.
'Swuussh!'
Occasionally, Reina was seen stepping to the right. Occasionally, he is seen tilting his body. And occasionally, he seems to bow his head. Everything was to avoid the attack of the axe leader of this bandit group.
"Why?! Why is it like this?!" Shouted Brunt annoyed and full of anger.
Reina who glanced towards Leo seemed to give a simple nod. Showing that Reina will handle it herself.
Hence....
"With the same team, search all these places. Find out if Selene and our five soldiers are here." Said Leo.
"By soon!"
Luna immediately commanded her troops. Took it to some place to do a search.
Of course, they are now more careful because they do not have a large field to make full use of their weapons.
House by house....
Building by building....
They ransacked them one by one.
Every now and then, they found a group of bandits hiding within it. And mercilessly, shoot them directly from a distance.
Leo who saw the attitude of his troops was a little worried. Is this a good or bad sign.
But fortunately, his army did not seem to enjoy this massacre. They only moved by order, and obeyed the order on the basis of the safety of the city of Venice.
The massacre itself was only a cheap payment to maintain the peace and stability of the City of Venice itself. Where they are willing to dirty their hands.
It would be bad if his army became too murderous. They will become increasingly difficult to control.
Until finally, after a while....
There is only one building left. It was a large building in the middle of the wooden fort.
Leo along with his troops entered the building slowly.
What awaits him inside....
"Don't move! If you move, I'll kill him!" Shouted a man with a face that looked so exhausted.
He is seen holding Selene hostage with a knife in his right hand.
Selene, who was still unconscious, could do nothing but silence.
Leo saw it....
"What do you want?" Ask Leo briefly.
By holding others hostage, Leo is very sure that he must want something. Otherwise, he would have killed Selene earlier.
"Le-let me out of here! Ji-if you do, I'll let it go!" Shouted The man in a frightened tone.
It didn't take long for Leo to think, and he answered immediately.
"Go away. But keep your word to let go."
"Te-of course!" Reply to the Man.
Leo and his army quickly withdrew. Open the way to the man to get out of this building.
Arriving outside, he saw a horror like no other.
Bodies were lying all over the place with blood splattered everywhere. What's more, the leader of this group named Brunt still looks busy facing the figure of a blonde woman.
Reina herself had no intention of killing him. But his actions are worse than that. It was continuously dodging Brunt's attacks while preventing him from escaping from it.
With a simple sentence, Reina just continued to play and mentally drain the bandit group's leader.
Mark who held Selene hostage felt grateful because he could run away. But will they really let go?
With that in mind, Mark did not take his eyes off Leo's army at all. While continuing to point his knife towards Selene's neck.
"Isn't that enough? I'm not gonna hurt you, so let the woman go and...." Said Leo trying to ask the man to release his hostage.
But payback....
"No! I won't let him out of this fucking forest! And you all have to stay here if you don't want this woman to get hurt!" Mark shouted in fear.
He began to feel that the hostages he chose were very valuable compared to the other 5 women who were also in the building.
With that feeling, he felt that he was safe.
But he made a pretty fatal mistake. Mark pointed his knife too close to Selene's neck. Scratching her white neck was quite deep.
The red blood flowed through his white skin.
And in the distance, Leo looked slightly narrowed his eyes.
It all happened in less than a second. Leo raised his gun-like magic weapon, pointed it right at the man's elbow, and fired it without the slightest hesitation.
'Twoaarr!'
The shot hit Mark's right elbow. Made his arm almost cut off and made him drop the knife.
Even without cue, the three Leo soldiers immediately ran to pull Selene from the grip of Mark's left hand.
Now, without weapons, Mark no longer has points to negotiate. And right after those three soldiers saved Selene....
He no longer had the right to ask for forgiveness.
"Tu-wait! I-I've let go, right?! I can go, right?!" Mark asked with a face.
But Leo just walked slowly closer to Mark's body falling on the ground.
Leo raised his right hand and pointed his magic weapon right in front of Mark's face.
Without a word....
'Daarr!!!'
Leo immediately ended the man's life.
Only Brunt, the leader of this bandit group, still lives inside the fortress.
