Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Blood River Bandits
===
Before sunrise, the Crimson Mist left through the city gates and into the grove!
They were all sleepy but Adriana didn't mind, she told them to go to bed early but many wanted to enjoy a vigorous night as they had been traveling for so long.
But how could they imagine that they would leave the morning after they arrived in the city?
But all are strong and properly trained, the weakest of them is Level 18, the strongest is at level 42.
Adriana's goal is for her subordinates to be at least Level 25, where rising beyond 50 would start to enter the Silver Category!
Adriana led the way without saying anything, there was no need for words.
This went on for hours, until Adriana looked in one direction, narrowed her eyes and looked at Hyelen. - "Tell your daughters to go in that direction and kill whoever is there!"
Hyelen was surprised. - "One of the bandits?"
"80% sure, you haven't noticed us yet, I believe there are 2, have them done quickly, you don't need to know who they are or who they belong to!" - Adriana said calmly.
Hyelen was silent, before calling her daughters and saying something to them, the twins were serious and soon with their bows and daggers, they advanced in the forest, minutes later, Adriana saw 2 red dots on the [Map] disappearing and soon the twins returned.
"Mom were they really bandits?" - Asked Jyelen hesitantly.
Hyelen doesn't know, but Adriana responded. - "They were!"
"How can you be sure?" - Asked Jaylen shaking with some anger.
Adriana looked at her, Hyelen narrowed her eyes, her hand going to her dagger.
"Because you guys go that way and kill 2 more bandit scouts!" - Adriana said pointing.
"What?!" - The 3 were surprised.
"If it happens once, maybe it's a coincidence, but what if it happens twice? I believe we may encounter 2 more situations like this, it must be a means of communication to alert the main group of people coming from a certain direction." - Said Adriana ignoring the 3 and just walking.
Hyelen frowned and looked at her daughters. - "Don't ask useless questions and follow your leader's orders, I know that killing is difficult, but these women committed more atrocities than you can imagine, don't feel sorry and just kill!"
The twins nodded and went to deal with it.
They returned, their expressions being calmer, because the clothes of both pairs were very similar, not to mention that there was a bonfire close to where they were.
And they continued to be sent to deal with it further down the line, where Adriana decided to teach them a trick.
Touching the two's shoulders, she adjusted their Mana circulations in a specific way, then allowed them to try and the result was sharp pains in their eyes, ears and nostrils.
"Adapte to it, your Mana is amplifying your senses, if you want to be the best archers, in the future you will have to adapt and master sense enhancement!" - Adriana said to them.
When it was time to camp due to the arrival of night, 5 were on watch every 2 hours, so that everyone could rest in due time.
Adriana didn't care about her sleep, she has [Gamer's Body] anyway.
She was reading as usual, that's when footsteps came and someone was in front of her tent.
"You may come in!" - Adriana said and soon Ajacky entered.
"I believe you are afraid, right?" - Asked Adriana calmly.
"Yes the idea of killing someone"-Ajacky clenched his fists and teeth, you could see the reluctance in his eyes.
Adriana put her book aside, looked at Ajacky and gestured with her finger for her to come closer.
Ajacky crawled over to Adriana, who held her face and gave her a kiss, Ajacky happily received the kiss and returned it.
Soon Ajacky was on top of Adriana, both hugging and kissing, until the kiss stopped, Ajacky being obviously calmer.
"Don't think about it too much, I know it's difficult, but believe me, when it happens, you won't feel anything too much, because these people are garbage, real animals, I particularly see them as insects, just a nuisance!" - Adriana said smiling slightly.
Ajacky sighed, then asked. - "On your first time how did you feel?"
""-Adriana tried to think of the first time she killed someone, it was in version 1.0, a mission for the order, hunting paranormal creatures, then there was all the shooting and she naturally killed people.
But due to the situation and need, she didn't think about useless things and just did it, so she never had an emotional damage when killing someone for the first time, of course later she had her conscience.
"The first time I killed someone, it was in a battle, we were outnumbered, facing monsters and enemies on both sides, in the end to save my allies, I advanced on the enemy line and killed, I didn't think or care if they were people, if they had daughters, mothers, loved ones, I didn't care about any of that, in the end if it weren't for them, it could be me or whoever was trusting me to protect them.
So Ajacky, in the fight that may happen tomorrow or the day after, understand that showing mercy or hesitation to your enemies is the same as you are abandoning a companion, for that enemy can stab the one who fights by your side when you least expect it, or even It might even stab you!" - Adriana said seriously.
Ajacky tensed even more, but Adriana hugged her tightly, burying her cute, fluffy face between her breasts. - "You can sleep here, nothing will happen, just hugs and kisses!"
Hearing that, Ajacky nodded and hugged him tightly.
It was night and in a large space, where trees had been felled and several tents had been erected, about 120 women were laughing, drinking and eating.
Some were fucking prisoners, including one young woman aged 17 to 18, who was naked, tied to a pole with her hands up, her long, white legs dangling, while her plump, perky ass exposed her anus and cunt all oozing white liquids.
Together it has a pair of testicles and a very swollen white penis.
This young woman is shivering intensely, her face contorted in pleasure.
"Haha ha! Can't this bastard take it anymore?" - A green-skinned woman laughs heartily looking at the bound young woman, while two naked women are kneeling at her crotch, licking her large, green penis.
"Boss, what do we do with these bitches?" - Asked a bandit at the side, fiercely flexing her hips back and forth on the ass of a blonde woman with pointy ears.
"Come on~ this, keep sucking like this and it will soon be rewarded!" - Said the Half-orc grabbing the head of one of them, then continued to her subordinate. - "Let's have some more fun, soon our target should arrive and we can leave this region."
"As for them let's take the ones with the nice ass, the rest kill!" - She said laughing happily and making one of the women below swallow all his thick penis.
"What about the spoiled little girl?" - Asked the bandit laughing.
"Let's make sure she's pregnant, then ask for a ransom and let them pay us to raise our daughter!" - Said the boss laughing in pleasure.
"Boss!" - A dressed bandit approached.
The boss looked and asked. - "What's it?"
"We are not getting information from our scouts early on." - Said the bandit.
"Serious? Send 5 to go check it out, if the sluts are sleeping or screwing, the 5 can fuck them all they want!" - Said the boss laughing coldly.
"Understood!"
...
Adriana looked at her wrist, she has a watch, showing the current time, it's about 9 pm.
At the moment she and her people are in a small camp where 3 bandits were, they arrived just as they were talking about the report from the other camps not having arrived yet, wondering if they should send someone to inform or investigate.
In the end 2 were killed and one of them captured, immediately muzzled.
So Adriana took her to a secluded place and tortured her, getting the information she wanted and finishing her off.
It didn't take much torture, in fact, Adriana used a little hypnosis, it made it so much easier!
"Soon a group should arrive to investigate, let's kill them and find the exact location of the bandits' camp, then we'll try to deal with it sneakily, if that doesn't work I don't think we need to say too much!" - Adriana said smiling.
Around 9:30 pm, a group of 5 women arrived, all of them looking very angry and frustrated.
"Hey you bitches!" - One of them screamed when she arrived and...
"What the fuck!" - She screamed, quickly trying to grab something around her waist, but arrows came and pierced their heads.
They couldn't react, all 5 died!
"We will!" - Adriana said and they started to move forward!
Quickly the camp was found, it was around 10:30 when they arrived, but naturally they didn't show up or make any noise.
They took advantage of positions, patiently waiting until the vast majority of them had gone to bed.
Within minutes, around 11:20, the rather noisy camp quieted down, with a few bandits yawning as they took up their lookout posts.
At that moment a signal was given, Adriana gave all groups a pager.
When they received the signal, the archers immediately took aim, as they all slowly closed in.
As some of the bandits noticed something unusual, an arrow would come and accurately hit their foreheads, normally it shouldn't be like that, because except for the twins and their mother, none of them have that much skill, but Adriana gave them some items to improve their aim, hence such precision.
So the troops arrived at the camp without attracting much attention, they were without their armor, to avoid making excessive noise, they didn't even need to be so stealthy, just be careful how they walk, because the bandits don't expect that.
That way, Adriana was in the bandits' camp, analyzing the red dots on her [Map], then manifesting several astral arrows, Adriana was killing all the women, even those who didn't have a red dot.
The reason is simple, if they wake up and end up screaming, it will attract unnecessary attention and a battle will break out.
Adriana soon arrived to find the young woman tied to the log, being unconscious she didn't bother too much with her, she went to the main tent.
Arriving there, Adriana smiled and held out her hand.
HAAAA!!!
A scream came as an ax came slashing down, landing in Adriana's hand.
"DAMN-"-The bandit chief's eyes widened when she saw her ax, which she was so proud of, being stopped like that!
[Validi(Lv.99) HP: 100%]
Validi was wide-eyed at the fact that her ax was stopped, she couldn't even say anything else, until her neck was grabbed, then a kick came, right in her balls!
Argh!
Validi got red in the face, grabbing her crotch and as she dropped to her knees, Adriana kneed her in the chin, immediately putting her to sleep!
A real pity, she's strong, Level 99 shows she's talented, as she can't be older than 35, but in the end she's destined to die!
"ENEMY ATTACK!!!" - Finally their attack was discovered and the clash of swords began, but unfortunately for the drunk, sex-weary and sleepy bandits, the Crimson Mist was at full strength and in high morale.
"BOSS!!!" - A scream came when 3 women ran to Adriana, seeing Validi lying on the ground and in a shameful posture!
"WORTHY!" - One of them roared while pulling two swords and fiercely attacking Adriana.
Adriana raised an eyebrow, this woman's skills are good, her level is 84.
"I wonder how high the bounty on your head will be!" - Adriana said smiling.
She knows Validi has a handsome bounty on her head, but I hear her top subordinates do too.
"Your stupid greed will get you killed!" - A woman wielding a spear aimed at Adriana's back.
Adriana moved deftly to the side, dodging the spear and one of the swords as she raised her ax to parry the other sword.
Soon an arrow whistled, aiming at Adriana's forehead, which extended a finger and an astral shield formed, stopping the attack!
"She is a mage!" -She shouted the archer now, frowning.
"You realized too late!" - Adriana said laughing and right from her front and back, cylinders that reached the barrel of both appeared, while the archer shot arrows incessantly.
Adriana ignored the temporarily stunned two and closed the distance with the archer, who was shocked by such speed, she tried to run away, but Adriana caught her in moments, as her [Astral Force] is covering her body and making her much more powerful. !
Grabbing the archer by the neck, Adriana hauled her up and hurled her into the main tent, knocking her down with it.
Then advancing, Adriana feinted a punch against the double swordswoman, who tried to defend herself, but in the end it was a farce, as Adriana's leg slipped and hit hers, a cracking sound rang out and her high-pitched scream of pain reverberated as she fell. on the floor with broken legs.
Adriana looked at the spearwoman, who was shuddering and then wielding her own [Aura], she tried to run away, but Adriana threw her axe, which aimed at her legs and a pity!
So the two warriors were incapacitated, the archer was thinking of running away, but Adriana wouldn't let her.
With that, Adriana dealt with the 4 strongest of the Bandidas do Rio de Sangue, she took ropes and tied the 4, fixing the severed legs, preventing her from dying from bleeding, while ignoring the broken legs of the other.
She then looked at the battlefield in general, it was obvious that her girls were having the upper hand, the bandits are around Level 5~20, they are also low in morale.
Some who try to escape, end up being shot by the archers waiting for it.
"YOUR LEADERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN CAPTURED, SURRENDER AND CAN KEEP THEIR LIVES!" - Adriana roared, a roar amplified by Mana, along with her Skill [Intimidation].
In moments, the bandits with low morale shuddered and many looked to the center, seeing Adriana standing while their leaders are on the ground, dying.
Soon several began to give up and others seeing this, did the same.
The Scarlet Mist Mercenaries were ecstatic with their victory, against more than 3 times their numbers, they emerged victorious.
Soon the screams of victory began to sound, along with laughter.
"STOP CLOWN AWAY AND BRING THESE BITCHES DOWNTOWN!!!" - Adriana roared seeing her people get excited for a simple victory against bandits.
Soon everyone was kneeling in the center of the camp, the captives of the bandits having been freed, those who had been murdered in the middle of it nobody said anything, it was just bad luck!
The young noblewoman was being taken care of by her servants, even if they were angry with her, since she is the cause of all this, they didn't dare say anything, as she is still their lady!
Adriana was sitting, the 4 bandit leaders on the ground in front of them, all fearful, because in front of Adriana, they felt that they were in front of a Demonic Beast.
She was analyzing the 4 in front of her, a pity indeed, they all have a high bounty on their heads, if not for that, Adriana would be more than happy to enslave them.
But in the end they will be executed, or publicly humiliated for weeks, months or even years!
In the end, you don't care. - "Well, my doctor will take care of you, dare to do something and well I'll kill you, since the reward is the same whether you're alive or dead!"
Laughing, Adriana let Emely handle them.
"There have been no fatalities of our personnel, but 8 have moderate injuries and 5 have minor injuries, not life-threatening!" - Said Maria looking very excited.
"Good to hear it, make everyone take an antidote, you never know if you have poison on your blades!" - Adriana said calmly.
"They've all had it!" - Maria said efficiently.
Adriana nodded and wanted to know about captive numbers.
"We freed a total of 17 women who were being enslaved, more than half of which are the noblewoman's mercenaries and servants, including the noblewoman who seems to have been mentally broken!" - Maria said without caring about the last part.
"The rest I believe to be from nearby villages or remnants of merchants?" - Asked Adriana and Maria nodded.
"As for our captives, we have the 4 leaders, 42 captives in total!" - Said Mary.
"I see kill the bandits with serious injuries, we don't want them to get the idea of a riot!" - Adriana said and Maria nodded, not caring.
"Ah, it's better to go talk to Ajacky she got it" - Said Maria and soon left.
Adriana nodded, she was wondering where the girl went, opening her [Map], she soon found her.
She then went and broke the arms and legs of the 4 bandit leaders, except for the one already without her legs, there is no danger of her retaliating anymore, as it is believed that she wants more to die than to be a cripple for life.
Emely was quite frustrated with Adriana doing something so brutal in front of her while she was taking care of them, but in the end she didn't say anything, she didn't dare.
Adriana came across Ajacky, who was sitting staring into the darkness, her eyes reddened, she killed 2 women, it made her shudder.
Soon she trembled when giving a scream, but soon calmed down when she was being hugged by Adriana.
"It's okay my bunny, you protected your companions, no one on our side died and these bandits won't harm anyone else!" - Adriana said hugging her tightly and kissing her head.
Ajacky held her tightly in her arms where she started to cry, she just cried, didn't say anything.
Adriana stayed there for her, then sat down and took her into her lap, who hugged her back and cried into her chest like a child.
(Note: In Chapter 195.5: +18 Bonus, it will be the continuation of this!)
After taking care of Ajacky and letting her rest, Adriana went to take care of other matters, but there weren't many of them and as such, they could all go to rest for an hour.
The next morning, Adriana interrogated the bandits, discovering the location of their main camp, which in her words, is a small fortress on a hill, which Adriana decided to invade.
And it was easy, they got there in 3 days, had a small battle, where 1 more of the bandit leaders was captured and had his limbs broken!
There Adriana, who hypnotized some bandits, discovered where their treasures were hidden, including the leader of the bandits who spoke where she was, wanting very much to buy her own life while she was under hypnosis.
As a result, Adriana got around 50,000 Gold Coins and lots of precious jewelry, artwork and much more!
Everything was filling wagons, the fortress was marked on the [Map], Adriana has thoughts for that in the near future.
So freeing the captives, they stopped at a nearby village, before heading towards Violet Leaf City!
The news quickly spread, hundreds of women taking to the streets to see Validi and his Blood River Bandits, all tied up and dragged like pigs!
Joyful screams came, women threw everything they could, because they deserved it!
The city and nearby villages were greatly harmed by these damn bandits, due to the city living a lot from hunting and commerce, as well as many of the Mercenaries are the people of the nearby cities and villages, it is obvious that there were many losses of loved ones.
This only increased the hatred against the bandits and seeing them finally getting due justice, only made them happy a lot!
Along with the name of the Scarlet Mist Mercenaries, it gained a lot of fame in the region in a few weeks.
The lady of the city requested a meeting with Adriana, where she personally gave her the reward of over 80,000 Gold Coins, for the head of the 5 leaders and the extermination of the group, an additional 20,000 Coins was given for the location of the stronghold, which is a strategic point.
Adriana had thoughts of settling down there for a few weeks, taking advantage of the space to train, but it would be annoying to have to pay taxes and such.
Therefore, it was better to hand it over to the lady of the city so that she can use it as a new hunting ground and prevent bandits from settling there in the future.
About the young noble, she comes from a city further east, about 2 weeks away, Adriana knows that she can get around 5,000 Gold Coins for saving her, but she didn't want to go through those problems and spoke with the city lady.
"How about you pay me an extra 10,000 gold and you take care of the captured noblewoman?"
"Do you want me to pay you to escort the traumatized young woman to her family?" - Asked the Lady of the City finding it absurd.
"Of course, I'm sure if you bring Validi along to her family, in addition to good monetary compensation, you'll gain some favors from your family, for nobles, having others owe you is better than money, correct?" - Asked Adriana smiling.
The City Mistress scratched her chin thoughtfully and said. - "2,000 Coins, I won't pay 10,000 for this!"
"Hmm, okay!" - Adriana said, she actually didn't expect much, 10,000 was just to have as much as possible.
Could she negotiate? Of course she could, but if the lady of the city gets upset and sees that there's no point in this negotiation, she can do all that, it's not like the young woman has a choice in who takes her home.
So Adriana received 102,000 Gold Coins from the Lady of the City, an exorbitant sum, where she gave all her subordinates, 102 Contribution Points, which the System is accounting for.
Some earned more due to doing more things, performance also affected the final reward.
But a maximum of 400 Contribution Points was earned, a minimum of 120.
Along with this, Adriana completed her mission, receiving several resources that were properly organized in her Inventory, she also acquired a map to the bandits' treasures, which have already been looted.
But the best was his 2 Level increase!
