Zander arrived just in time. The bandits had no horses, and many were too drunk to fight back.
Zander led 200 city defense soldiers as they brandished the sabers in their hands and dispersed the formation of more than 40 bandits. Then it was a massacre!
Despite not getting any specific orders from Sean, Zander gave the kill order decisively.
More than 200 city defense soldiers on horses chased the bandits and killed them with sabers. In only ten minutes, most of the bandits were killed, and the remaining bandit leaders were tied up. Only then did Sean lead the women down the hill.
Sean handed all the women to Zander to be taken care of and carried by the city defense soldiers‘ horses. This way, although having one horse carry two people was slow, at least they could move.
Sean stood in front of three gangsters who were all firmly tied up.
These three men were the leaders of the bandits. The first leader was on the left, the second leader in the middle, and the third leader on the right.
“Tell me who you are, and why did you attack Dorodo and capture Dorodo’s residents?” Sean asked grimly.
As soon as Sean spoke, the three bandit leaders nodded and cried.
“I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you anything. Please don’t kill us. Let us live…”
“We had no choice…”
“We were sent to pillage Dorodo. We were hired to do so!”
Sean and Zander glanced at each other and saw the intense rage in each other’s eyes.
This gang of bandits was hired?
Someone hired them to pillage Dorodo?
How hateful!
Sean drew out the Guardian Sword, and the bright blade radiated a cold glow, which terrified the three people kneeling on the ground and made them tremble with fear.
“Tell me! Who hired you?” Sean asked, pointing the Guardian Sword at the third leader on the far right.
The third leader of the bandits looked at the first leader and the second leader before quickly saying, “W-We’re Flying Leaf Mercenary Regiment. Our mercenary regiment is small and not very strong, so it’s difficult to get tasks. W-We had no choice but to wander from city to city in the City-State Union and rob caravans…”
After a pause, the third leader went on saying, “Some time ago, someone from Dorodo contacted us and asked us to rob Dorodo today. We would be paid one million dollars if we did it well!”
“T-The robbery itself would make us a profit, not to mention we’ll get extra money… S-So we agreed…” The third leader said and fearfully glanced at Sean.
“D*mn it! We have a traitor…” Zander shouted angrily.
The fact that the mercenary regiment became bandits and robbed Dorodo because they were hired and ordered by someone or some force from Dorodo was unacceptable to Zander!
He was eager to find out who was behind the crime, skin them, and rip out his tendons!
Sean looked at the second leader again and asked, “Who the h*ll hired you?”
“I-I don‘t know… That person looks very ordinary and only says they have a big shot behind them, but I don’t know their identity. I suppose he’s a servant of one of Dorodo’s influential families or wealthy businessmen.”
“What‘s his name?” Sean asked again.
However, the second leader could not answer him.
