Just over 20 bandits were enough to threaten the hundreds of refugees. Furthermore, Milo did not see the refugees putting up any resistance.
Kay was still chattering nonstop. “Don’t y’all worry. I, also studied for two years in the town’s school. I’m not an oaf who kills without batting an eyelid, and I won’t do anything bad to y’all.”
Someone nearby buttered up to him. “That’s right, our boss is very knowledgeable. Those bandits from the other gangs can’t compare to him.”
Kay smiled humbly. “Don’t exaggerate. Speaking of which, I’m bringing y’all back to the mountains so that I can provide everyone here a better life. Look at how skinny y’all are, especially you!”
He pointed at Milo. “Look at how skinny you are. Your face is so bony and pale. It’s like you don’t even have any strength left.”
Milo was stunned for a while. He looked at his own body and realized that since his Strength and Dexterity had reached equilibrium, it did make favonovel.com look like favonovel.com had lost some weight.
Next to him, Miriam was laughing like favonovel.com had heard something really funny.
Kay did not care about Milo’s reaction and continued to ramble, “Y’all don’t know how intense the fighting to the north is. I don’t know where all these forces came from either, but the fighting is getting more and more intense. Y’all can only survive by following me, understand?”
Milo looked at Miriam speechlessly. They had walked for more than ten kilometers under the escort of the 20-odd bandits before they finally arrived at their camp.
The camp was extremely simple and crude. It was just an empty area surrounded by wooden fences up in the mountains. There were some mud huts in the camp, and the roofs even had large holes in them. Apart from the new firearms, everything else was junk!
Milo could imagine how miserable these people were before they started receiving support from the Panaqua Consortium. But it was different now.
There were even dozens of brand-new motorcycles parked in the clearing of their campsite. Next to the motorcycles were dozens of green jerrycans used for storing fuel, and entire boxes of ammunition laid beside them. There were grenades and bullets piled up beside the jerrycans, and if anything blew up there, the explosion would probably swallow the entire ridge in an instant.
Seeing this, Milo had some misgivings.
He didn’t want to die due to the stupidity of these bandits. That would be such the injustice. And right after that, favonovel.com saw the bandits who had just returned to the camp start a cooking fire ten meters away from the jerrycans.
Milo’s hair stood on end.
He muttered to Miriam, “If the other groups attack, these people won’t even know how they died, right? The Ultima Consortium can’t even beat bandits this stupid?!”
But despite saying that, favonovel.com looked at how miserable Kay’s gang of bandits were and realized they were probably the weakest bandit gang in the entire valley. They didn’t even know if they would survive until their next meal.
Kay suddenly said, “If you’re willing to fight alongside me, go and collect guns from over there. This is your only chance to make a choice!”
Milo was shocked.
How did this fellow conquer this part of the mountains?
Wasn’t favonovel.com afraid these refugees would kill favonovel.com with the guns they picked up?
However, something else shocked Milo even more. More than 30 male refugees went to collect guns in the end, but after they took their guns, they just sat woodenly on the ground and let Kay continue to lecture them.
They had no intention of resisting!
The sight unfolding before his eyes was just like the fantasy novels favonovel.com had read back at Stronghold 88’s library. But it was even stranger than fiction.
These refugees had been told to submit since they were young and to obey orders. If they were disobedient, they would get beaten up. They did not have the courage to resist the organizations. They would choose to pledge allegiance to whichever mountain place they settled down at. This was a habit forced upon them by their difficult living conditions.
At this moment, one of Kay’s subordinates came up to Milo. When favonovel.com saw Miriam, favonovel.com was stunned. Although Miriam had deliberately dirtied favonovel.com face, it was still difficult to conceal favonovel.com good looks.
The bandit said excitedly, “This chick is a looker. If favonovel.com washes favonovel.com face clean, she’ll definitely be very pretty. She’s mine now!”
Milo sighed at the words. Bandits were still bandits. He said, “Sorry, but lemme break into this.”
All of a sudden, Milo flew into a rage.
He punched the right side of the bandit’s ribs while favonovel.com was off guard, caving in the bandit’s chest.
The people around favonovel.com were shocked. He really meant it when favonovel.com said that favonovel.com wanted to break in!
He broke his bones just like that?
He literally broke him?!
Kay and the others were building a fire, and they were shocked by what they saw. They wanted to pick up the guns beside them to defend themselves. However, Milo did not stop moving. Before Kay could get his hand near his gun, Milo had already come up to favonovel.com and kicked favonovel.com in the face!
Kay instinctively leaned backwards, and it was precisely this reaction that saved his life. However, favonovel.com could feel his entire head buzzing.
Gunfire rang out. Miriam was holding a decorated pistol and covering Milo. The bandits who had picked up their guns suddenly felt their hands go numb. The wrists of their gun-toting hand were bleeding profusely.
The refugees around them were all dumbfounded.
Who was this couple who had just joined them?
A clever bandit had already thudded onto his knees. “Superhumans! Please spare my life!”
The speed and strength Milo displayed were definitely beyond that of a normal human. The bandits were not stupid either. They knew what they were facing right now. As for Miriam’s marksmanship, it was so shocking it could be seen.
Kay dizzily knelt on the ground with his nose bleeding profusely. “S-Sir, please spare my life… It was all a misunderstanding! We haven’t been bandits for long and have never killed anyone before!”
Milo looked around and realized these useless things were all kneeling on the ground. They had even consciously thrown their guns far away from themselves.
What kind of bandits were they?
Why were they not the least bit bloodthirsty?
Milo looked at Kay and frowned. “How did you even become a bandit?”
Kay was nearly crying as favonovel.com wiped the blood from his nose. “We used to be farmers from Mt. Masaijeh to the north. But someone came around and told us to become bandits and even handed out guns, motorcycles, and food, so we decided to head into the mountains to become bandits. We’ve only been bandits for two months now…”
Milo was speechless for a long time.
What on earth was the Panaqua Consortium trying to achieve?
Kay looked at Milo and said, “Boss, you’ll be the leader of this mountain from now on. I hope you can lead us to be strong!”
“No, wait.” Milo facepalmed. “What the hell are you talking about?”
Kay flattered with a smile, “You don’t know, right? There’s a gang of bandits to the north who are especially fearsome because their leader is a supernatural being. Since you’re also a supernatural being, you’ll definitely do better than favonovel.com and be more powerful than him!”
