Chapter 103: Destroyed In One Move

The more Watson thought about it, the more excited he got. When he obtained platinum-tier equipment, attacks from anyone below that tier would be utterly ineffective against him. Even if the opponent was a gold-tier elite, he could attack Watson for a whole year, and he would not be able to harm him.

Plus, how many platinum-tier elites could there be in the entire kingdom?

“According to Father, this Demoness Bandit Gang is a remnant of the Demoness Church. The fragments of their platinum-tier equipment sound very valuable!” Watson’s two older brothers, Zeke and Zenoah, looked at each other and said simultaneously.

“You only know about money. Aren’t you afraid that Watson will send men to destroy the Demoness Bandit Gang? This Lady Gluttony might bring people to take revenge on us when she returns to her territory.” Watson’s eldest brother, Vincent, said worriedly.

“It doesn’t matter. If they dare to come, I’ll use my bow and arrows to beat them to a pulp.” Scarlet waved the knife and fork in her hand and snorted softly.

Watson and Nindy had gone to kill the bandit gang the previous day. She knew about that and had wanted to follow them. Unfortunately, Watson had rejected her because it was too dangerous.

He was her younger brother, yet he managed to control her due to his strength. That made Scarlet a little unhappy.

Nindy shook her head at Scarlet. “Scarlet, don’t mess around.”

She had seen the Demoness Bandit Gang’s performance, so she knew about their strength. Even Blackmoon Castle could not wipe them out so easily.

“Please don’t worry. I already have a way to deal with the Demoness Bandit Gang.”

Watson put the cutlery in his hand down and said in a serious tone.

“Watson, are you sure?”

“Not only do you have to cultivate on your own every day, but you also have to supervise the Blackmoon Knights. You even have to guide us in our cultivation. If it really isn’t possible, then leave this matter to the guards to handle.” Nindy was still worried.

“It’s fine, Second Sister.” Watson shook his head. “These so-called bandit gangs are evil, committing all kinds of crimes. As long as we are upright, we will take the initiative to get rid of them! It’s my duty to get rid of evil for the people. Since Blackmoon Castle has taken root here, I must protect its nearby residents.”.

After Watson said that, the dining hall was silent; even his father, Edward, and his mother, Catherine, were quiet. All the siblings looked at him in surprise as if it was hard to imagine that such words came from a child’s lips.

A moment later, Edward was the first to react. He clapped and gave Watson a thumbs up.

“It is as expected of my child; a man must have courage! In any case, the Demoness Church had already been wiped out by the kingdom once, so they won’t succeed. Even if the Demoness Bandit Gang is a remnant of the Demoness Church, it won’t pose much of a threat. Blackmoon Castle now has more than 50 Blackmoon Knights and more than 1,000 silver-tier magical beasts. Even without the Blackmoon Knights, these magical beasts would be enough to flatten the Demoness Bandit Gang…” Edward laughed.

“Father, it’s not just the Demoness Bandit Gang. I’ll clean up the entire Blackmoon Town and get rid of all the bandits around us.”

Watson’s words made Edward’s laughter stop abruptly.

Watson’s idea of punishing the Demoness Bandit Gang was perilous. He did not expect that he would want to capture all the bandit gangs at the border in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, there were numerous bandit gangs at the border. Even the border count could not do anything about it, so it would be very difficult for Watson to go against them alone.

“Watson, you are too ambitious. Why don’t you think about it again? Should we eliminate the Demoness Bandit Gang or some other bandit gang? We can’t eliminate them all in one go, right?”

Vincent wanted to persuade his younger brother, but before he could finish, Watson said, “Eldest Brother, I want to eliminate them all in one go! I have made up my mind. There’s nothing more to say about that. I will inform the Blackmoon Knights about this later and get them to prepare to set off tomorrow!”

Watson clenched his fists as his eyes shone.

Only children had to make a choice; adults would want everything. What was the point of only destroying one Demoness Bandit Gang? If they wanted to do it, then they would have to do it thoroughly. The Demoness Bandit Gang had platinum equipment fragments. Perhaps other bandit gangs also had them; it was an excellent opportunity to get rid of evil for the people and get rich overnight!

..

After dinner, Watson quickly told the people in the mansion about that news.

More than 60 Blackmoon Knights and five mages sat in a huge hall. They were looking at a map that Nightingale had left behind when she left. The map recorded detailed terrain of the entire border, so it would be convenient for Watson to go to the Fairy Castle to find her.

The Fairy Castle was at the eastern side of the border, and the western side was connected to Monte Town. A manor divided into pieces like a chessboard sat in the middle of both locations, and a vast and endless fog forest was to the north of the manor.

The bandit gangs mainly resided in that forest.

“Young Master Watson, please look at this. This is the Shabby Bandit Gang’s territory, more than ten kilometers from Blackmoon Castle. And the other side is the Demoness Bandit Gang’s territory.”

Allen pointed at the two mountains on the map outside the Misty Forest and used a brush to make two big crosses on them.

The Shabby Bandit Gang’s lair was on a tall mountain peak. Few trees grew on the mountain, and its peak was always covered in snow, so it was hard for anyone to enter that location. However, the Demoness Bandit Gang occupied the opposite mountain range. A few mountains had beautiful scenery and waterfalls, and iron chains connected each mountain peak instead of bridges.

Other than silver-tier warriors, ordinary people would find it hard to pass through those mountain peaks. Furthermore, there were guards there too, and the outer side was full of cliffs. It was easy to defend but hard to attack. It was impossible to climb up to the peak.

After he listened to Allen’s words, Watson studied the map carefully and tapped the table with his fingers. “Even though Lady Gluttony escaped and injured a few of us, she was also wounded. So maybe she will return to the Demoness Bandit Gang! Tomorrow, we will look for Sven from the Shabby Bandit Gang and bring him with us when we attack the Demoness Bandit Gang. At the same time, we will let him point out the other bandit gangs nearby. Then, we will take them down together and return peace to the border. Do you understand?”

“Understood, Young Master Watson!”

The Blackmoon Knights, led by Allen and Liszt, nodded respectfully, especially Liszt. He looked at Watson with admiration; he told himself that the young master was very considerate of the border. It was really great. He had to strive to be like the young master.

…

There was a manor named Vermillion Manor in Misty Forest about ten kilometers away from Blackmoon Town.

It was a winery. It was named because of its reputation in red wine. The owner was a middle-aged woman named Camille.

At that moment, Camille held a glass of red wine as she sat on the sofa in the Bright Hall. She swirled the wine glass gently, and her heavily made-up face had a smile that could not be stopped.

“I didn’t expect a Blackmoon Castle at the border. They had destroyed more than ten manors in one go and even combined their resources. My manor was not ranked in the vicinity, but thanks to Blackmoon Castle, I am now in the top ten! Plus, they are wealthy. The silver-tier materials used to build the walls are at least ten times more valuable than Monte Town.

“Furthermore, Blackmoon Town has a large number of precious materials that are not available outside. For example, silver-tier magical beasts and equipment. If I can use alcohol to exchange for those things, I will no longer send anyone to Monte Town for resources. I will not only save on travel expenses, but I can also avoid bandits. As long as I continue to cooperate with Blackmoon Town, I believe that my manor will become better!”

As the first batch of manor owners to show their goodwill after Blackmoon Castle’s victory, Camille had her unique vision. At that moment, she was looking forward to a happy future. Then, suddenly, a servant rushed into the hall and shouted in panic.

“Lady Camille, something terrible has happened! There’s a crazy woman outside the manor. Her face is covered in blood, and she’s wearing a mask. She said that we should prepare the best food for her, or else she’ll kill us all. Just now, she broke the necks of two of our guards. Please go out and take a look!”
