[Decimated Town]

As the bandit army flood the town by their numbers, they intruded to multiple vicinity including private houses just to find the Hero's party and Kaido's group

After they found out that none of them could find their target they decided to head down to the town's square and because of that all bandits from multiple sides headed straight to the town's square

Upon their arrival they found out the towns square was empty and not a sign of a single person inside there at all

This brought confusion among their ranks and upon Jack's arrival at the scene they begun to probed him as they interrogated him to know the others location

"Hey you! Where the heck are they?" Shouted one of the bandits as he pulls Jack's collar in attempt to strangle him

At this moment the leader of the bandit group with a scar on its jaw appeared and asked for the situation

*******************

"What just happened?" Asked Craw the leader of the bandit army

"It seemed like that guy just tricked us" reported one of the bandits close to him

Hearing this Craw raised one of his eyebrow as he looked down on Jack

"You filthy mongrel!!! You better tell us everything you know... Or else we will kill you here right now" threatened Craw as irritation seemed to grow in him as time passes

"Hear that chump? Tell us where are they" growled the bandit who is the closest to Jack

At this reaction Jack couldn't help but to grin and laughed aloud as he sees their reaction

"Ahahahahaha!"

Hearing him laugh they felt as if they were being mocked and because of it most of them begun to grow angry

When the bandit who is gripping Jack's collar was about to ask a question, he suddenly lost his head as his body fell unto the ground and blood sprayed over

Seeing a headless body, all of the bandits around the vicinity stiffened in shock and looked at Jack who just brought out a huge Sycth from the storage bag

As Jack shouldered the Sycth he remembered Kaido's instruction to him prior to the operation

********************

(Flashback)

"Jack! You will lead them inside the town straight to the town's square and upon your arrival will be the start of the operation" stated Kaido

"What? What do you mean?" Asks Jack

"I mean as I said... When you have led them at the square the magic circle that was placed around the town will activate prior to Anna's preparation for this case under my instructions... At that they will be forced to only leave the town through the main gate" said Kaido

"Why would they try to leave town?" Asks Jack

"Why?... That's because your going to cause havoc inside there... Kill as many as you like but leave the leader alive" ordered Kaido

********************

Upon remembering that Jack taunted the bandits

"So you proclaim that your group is hella strong right? Then will you show me just how strong are you?"

With his taunt the nearby bandits rage exploded as they charged forth at Jack in all direction

With a kick in his Sycth Jack wielded the Sycth as if he is toying with it and swipe clean around him cleaving at least six of the bandits at the same time into two halves

At that blood sprayed all over as Jack begun to be covered in blood

Seeing their comrades killed the other bandits dared to attack Jack again causing a slaughter happening in the town's square

As the fight continues some bandits faraway saw what is happening inside the square,this to survive they started to flee only to found that multiple magic circles activated all at once and huge ice walls erected from it trapping all the bandits inside the town and leaving only one exit point through the main gate

Seeing that the bandits begun to rush to the main gate in attempt to flee from Jack who is reaping the lives of the bandits in the town's square

"Run!!! Run!!!!"

When they arrived at the main gate they saw two male Adventurers standing guard on it

*********************

(Flashback)

"Seemingly with only one way to escape they would flood that area restricting their movement even more, by then both Luke and Alda will be their on guard and try to minimize their numbers as much as they can"

********************

At that Alda craned his neck as he smiled at the approaching bandits

"This is a big nostalgia I say..." Said Alda

"And why is that?" Asks Luke

With that Alda smiled as he deducted his claim

"First... In the past the bandits ran away from us but what were seeing now is that the bandits are actually running up to us...." Stated Alda

And what is the second?" Asks Luke as he glanced at Alda who is unsheathing his sword

"Everything is going according to that arrogant bastards prediction and I cant even tell if he is a foreteller or a genius" he said as he saw Luke raising up his shield

"Should I use sword saint descent? I don't even have the chance to use it at the mock battle after all" exclaimed Alda

"No need... He only caught us off guard at that time causing him to defeat us surprisingly" said Luke

As Luke said that he begun to charge forward at the flood of bandits

With a stomp Luke swung his sword sideways causing shockwaves to kill those near it and push back those who are far from it

"Gahhhh!!!"

With multiple bandits slain Alda dashed to the crowd as he dived inside the flood of bandits smiling

"Crisscross!!!" He exclaimed as he slashed his way through the crowd causing blood to spray all over and bodies falling to the ground

Seeing this some fished forth successfully escaping both Alda and Luke through sheer numbers but as one bandit escape an arrow pierced through his head

From afar both Lily and Mia are stationed at a small mountain and are sniping down those bandits that managed to pass through Luke and Alda

"Two down..." Exclaimed Mia as he released another arrow

"I can't believe everything is going according to plan" stated Lily

"Me too... It is as if that Kaido guy is making the bandit army play around his palm" agreed Mia

********************

(Flashback)

"Lily and Mia will be teleported up that nearby mountain and snipe down the escaping enemy" said Kaido

"Are you saying that some will escape through us?" Asks Alda in denial

"I'm not saying..... I'm sure of it" answered Kaido with a stern expression"

After that Kaido turned to Anna

"Anna you will bring Lily and Mia up there after you set up the magic circle alright?" Ordered Kaido

"Understood" replied Anna

*********************

As Lily spectate the battle she sigh in dismay

"Still I can't contribute a thing here" stated Lily dejectedly

Hearing that Mia comforted her

"Don't be so down... It's just that your job is non combatant so you can't do a thing" she explained

But hearing this Lily couldn't help but feel left behind

As for Melfina and Anna they are at the riverbank inside the entrance of the sewer passage

"Kaido-sama said that there might be bandits lurking here too" stated Melfina

"If what he said is true then we will have to deal with them" said Anna

As they said that they saw multiple bandits charging at them from inside the sewer

"I'm going in..." Said Melfina as he pulls his mask up and Charged forth

With that the whole bandit army descended into chaos
