10) Invasion of the Haven Empire
“The war….”
“Huhu, the day has come.”
“Those guys won’t stop until they unify the continent?”
The Bandit King Steiner that ruled the mountain regions of the Haven Empire!
The shadow of death Seasoned Crab!
Thief Jackson!
They heard that news that the Haven Empire was moving. The influence of the Haven Empire meant that every small action would quickly spread among the users. Especially something like a colossal movement to conquer the north.
“This is the best chance for bandits.”
Steiner grinned as he carried a large axe.
It was quite fun to be a bandit hiding in the mountains. The bandits in weak countries weren’t that dangerous.
But the quality of the Haven Empire meant the bandits were fairly large. Treasure, magic items and gold could be obtained from the lords of the commercial cities. Furthermore, it was also good for obtaining human personnel.
Competent knights wandered around after the Haven Empire took over other kingdoms. It was easier to recruit them as subordinates. The bandits actively recruited wandering knights with ideals like justice, recognition or a combative spirit.
Regular citizens also followed the bandits. The residents that lost their kingdoms, were subjected to extreme conditions or needed to feed their families were willing to go through tough training to become stronger.
The best and brightest quickly adapted to the mountains. They obtained the delicious taste of raising their power.
The reason Steiner settled in the Haven Empire was because it was more risky and he had great ambitions. One day he would go down from the mountains and plunder the cities.
The rangers and soldiers of the Haven Empire couldn’t catch them so they dominated the mountains and forests.
It was empty words but he was crowned King of the Bandits!
“There are so many to kill.”
