The strongest warrior in their village who had singlehandedly defeated the bandits who were invading their village and even looted their base has been defeated with just a single strike.

A deadly wound has been inflicted on him from which blood was flowing endlessly. Edson still has his signature smile on him as he stares at Andrew who was coughing up blood. “You could not even take a single blow from me. How much more pathetic could you have been? And you thought of even leading”, he says while still smiling as if he was being modest and complimenting Andrew for a meritorious deed he had performed.

Andrew although coughing was still staring daggers at Edson, he has gone through many life-or-death situations that he doesn’t pass out even after being inflicted with such a huge amount of pain. He still tries suppressing the injury and although he fully understood that he might not win, he still has the will to fight.

He would rather die fighting than wait for death to come to him. He grips hard on his broken cutlass as he shoots off in the direction of Edson. Edson's eyes flash in admiration, but that doesn’t mean he would show mercy as he forcefully grabs the cutlass which Andrew held on to and uses it to pierce through his stomach.

Andrew's eyes widen as he feels a greater pain. Although Edson seems to be avoiding any vital organ, he was still ruthless as he brings out the cutlass and once again stabs it into Andrew. He repeats it one last time and Andrew was unable to even move a muscle.

This time after withdrawing the cutlass, Andrew falls weakly to the side with his blood flowing incessantly on the floor. The girls watch the proceedings without uttering a single sound but they were filled with fear and couldn’t help trembling as they witnessed the ferociousness of Edson.

This was something they had never dreamt of experiencing. This was an eye-opener to them about how brutal the world could be. At this moment, Edson turned toward the girls, and his smile could be seen but there was blood on his face and clothes which made his appearance akin to that of a warlord who was looking for more blood to draw, and the ladies couldn’t help shivering more, afraid that Edson wanted to attack them.

Edson clears his throat before saying, “No need to be afraid, every bandit should have their rules and restrictions. And mine happens to be that the female gender should never be killed”, the girls although not fully believing the words Edson, was able to decrease their trembling after listening to such words.

But his next words brought greater horror to them, “They can be raped blatantly, abused and tortured to the extreme but on no account should they be intentionally killed”, says Edson while his smile turns sadistic. The girls almost fainted from such words, while thinking about their fate in the hands of Edson.

It was about this moment that a green smoke rose towards the air. Edson frowns on seeing this smoke rising towards the air and seems to be contemplating something while looking at the smoke as his signature smile was no longer on his face.

In no time though, he starts smiling while looking towards the girls, he says, “Seems like today is your lucky day then. You would be able to continue living comfortably”, he pauses while throwing something toward the girls.

It happens to be two small bottles, one of which there were some yellowish pills and the other a white powder.

“Feed him the pills and pour the powder over the wounds. If he is lucky and has a strong will, perhaps he would survive. I would have loved to take him with me but I ain’t ready for babysitting”, Edson's voice sounds out at this moment once again but this time his group has come before him and he alights his horse.

“I would be taking the carriages with me then. Hope you don’t mind. And I would advise for you to treat him as soon as possible through”, he says while riding off in the opposite direction from where the smoke was coming from.

In no time, he and his group were nowhere to be found and only footprints of their horses were left behind to show he has been there.

It was at this moment that the two girls were able to rush towards Andrew and Marian was wailing loudly while screaming that he shouldn’t die on her, Eve also didn’t want Andrew dead and without thinking if what Edson gave them was poisonous or not, they tried feeding him the pills and dressed the wounds.

He wasn’t able to swallow the pills since he was unconscious and hence Eve grounded them with her teeth, created an opening in Andrew’s mouth by pursing his lips, and then fed him the pills by kissing him.

Marian was shocked by the boldness with which everything was done by Eve, and Eve was also shocked after she was through with the deeds.

But that shock didn’t stop them from dressing his wounds. They both thought that since he was stabbed repeatedly, perhaps he won’t be able to survive. But they still held fast and tried everything they could to make him survive.

Although it was just his upper parts that he was injured, they both felt shy seeing his body. Since all they had to do wasn’t something necessarily complicated, it was fairly easy for them to do and they tore his upper garments, in other to make sure the powder sticks to the injury and to put pressure on the injury.

At this time when they were doing all these, there was a single person who was riding on a horse towards the place where the smoke came from. It was a voluptuous woman, who was wearing nothing short of being seductive.

She wore a long gown that has a slit almost up to her private parts and on looking closer, she wore nothing but a pant inside. Her lips were fully exposed and her boobs together with her booty were bouncing without any restriction as she rode on her horse.

She has a dull eye as if weary and needed to rest, she has a small nose and fairly nice lips. Although her eyes were dull, they were still beautiful nonetheless.

She held a pipe and she was smoking as she rode her horse. If something was outstanding about her would be the armlet she wore which was a sign of being a general.

She was Olivia, one of the generals in the kingdom in the realm of the body as steel. She was the youngest among the seven generals in the kingdom and was in her early forties. But never mind her seducing appearance, she was a wily fox and a headache for bandits operating around the kingdom.

Even the soldiers she commanded feared her greatly as they held great respect for her. Soon, she was in front of a troop of soldiers about twenty of them gathered on horses also with about four carts in their midst, obviously their supplies.

They were the best of the best whom she took along with her on this special mission.

“What’s the situation?”, she asked on getting towards them.

One of the men who seem to be leading this troop says with a miserable face, “I detected some fighting up ahead and hence fired the flare. You know I value my poor life and hence couldn’t go closer and hence decided to wait for you”.

This was Lucas, in the sensory realm, the strongest among this group but was in his late thirties, already thirty-nine years of age, and was going to be clocking forty in a few days.

He seems like someone who could be depended on absolutely with the looks on his face, he had small eyes, bushy eyebrows, a broad nose, average lips, and had low cut hair with his beards which seems to be well kept, as they were low and they gave him a more manly vibe.

Olivia couldn’t help but glare at this man but didn’t quarrel with him about the issue but instead, took the situation more seriously.

Although this man seems this way, he was strong, decisive, and ferocious when attacking criminals.

It must have been something that could have threatened his life to make him not approach the scene of the fighting. Her dull expression which was initially on her face quickly disappears as it was replaced with absolute seriousness. But that doesn’t stop her from ordering the soldiers to go towards where the fighting was noticed.

With a face filled with helplessness, Lucas orders the troops to follow Olivia while marching at the same speed as her.

At this moment, Edson was already long gone and Lucy with the rest of the commanders had already woken up. Lauretta couldn’t help asking at this moment, “Why did we have to run away from there?”.

Edson keeps quiet for a moment and his smile erases from his face to be replaced by a solemn expression before opening his mouth to say, “I got a message that the demoness would be sweeping around the forest. I suspect that flare came from her troops. I left those children behind to delay them for our escape. Although I don’t fear her, it’s better safe than sorry as she always fights without thinking about her appearance, putting her life on the line at all times”.

On hearing the word “demoness”, the commanders couldn’t help having serious expressions. They all knew the person for whom the moniker was used and knew how dangerous she was, even the top general in the kingdom couldn’t control her.

She is a real talent and so far has always done her missions perfectly hence nothing can be used to destabilize her position in the army. Hence, there was nothing to be used to rein her in, thus she always acted as she felt like to without any restrictions.

Being given this task was because she behaved rudely to a duke and the king himself even had a headache about which punishment to give her.

Based on her past merits, they settled for this mission. Although it couldn’t be made as a punishment as it was just her duty but they could at least send her out from the capital for a while.

“Besides, what about the treasures in the cart? Does everything suffice?”, Edson asks plastering his noble smile back on his face. “I have taken account of everything, it’s not even worth up to a hundred thousand gold“, one of the underlings reported with an ugly expression.

They thought that at least with the treasures taken from Oscar and what he must have gathered, at least the amount would have totalled more than a million gold coins.

Edson's expression flickers for a bit on hearing such a report before he laughs out. His underlings and commanders didn’t understand the reason behind his laughter and were therefore tense.

But his next words made them shocked, “You are indeed a crafty kid. I didn’t waste those stuff on you then. Well, I can’t wait for you to grow up and show me what you got”.

“Keep on moving, don’t pause for a minute”, Edson hollers at his underlings in a bright voice and with shining eyes as if looking at the future.

They still didn’t understand the full meaning behind his words, but didn’t dare to tarry as they increased their speed and marched forth.

At this point, a smile appears on Andrew’s face as if being victorious in this round.
