LORD WORLD: START

CHAPTER 19: COOPERATION

Under the fire that burned the forest as well as the bandit headquarters, hundreds of bandits tried to escape while dozens of other bandits were stopped by hundreds of enemies.

Although hundreds of people had weaker strength than dozens of high-ranking bandits, they won by numbers. Therefore, dozens of high-ranking bandits began to have difficulty under the siege.

The bandit leader headed towards the surroundings to find that all of his subordinates were busy, the rank 5 bandit who was the strongest person below him even though he was busy facing the rank 5 Knight who injured his right eye that was Charles.

"Wait for that Knight-It's impossible! Anrateon, is the master you are referring to the 17th prince?", asked the bewildered bandit leader "I think you are an intelligent person, you are a smart one, however, it takes enough ability and intelligence to make a bandit group of hundreds of people without support from other forces. But I never expected a smart man like you to be fooled by the 17th Prince! I don't know what the Prince has to offer you to your loyalty to him, but let me tell you 1 thing: don't believe the 17th Prince's offer".

"He may offer you to become a noble or an official after he succeeded to the throne as king. But let me tell you 1 thing, none of it will ever happen because the 17th Prince is just an outcast prince without any power. On the contrary, if you cooperate with me, when my master becomes king then I will give-".

Anrateon who was already annoyed immediately stopped the nonsense "Enough, I have no interest in listening to the many stupid things of people who are about to die! Let me tell you 1 thing, I am following my master not because of the wealth he offers, not also the power, all of it will not attract my attention! The reason why I followed my master was because he was Myro Aras, the person I respected the most, the person who was most worthy of being the king of all the people I knew. From the beginning, I must have rejected any offer you made, so you could die now!".

Saving his bow, Anrateon stepped forward with a sword in his right hand.

"You're too confident! I'm offering you to join me not because I'm afraid to fight you, but rather that I appreciate the talent and ability you have, who would have thought that you were the one who couldn't see the best chance of the offer I gave", said the bandit leader refusing to give up "Even if there are many of you and we are not ready to fight your sudden attack, but I am a rank 7 warrior. As long as I move using full force, it's easy to break your siege".

After that terrifying strength gathered on the sword of the bandit leader as if he was trying to show Anrateon the difference in their strength, the bandit leader slashed towards him using his full strength directly.

Facing the terrifying pressure from the slashing of the bandit leader, Anrateon said confidently "I admit that in terms of strength, you are above me because you have 1 rank strength under me! However, in a life-and-death fight, strength is not everything! There are many other things that determine winning or losing. Today I will show you, rank is not everything to determine victory and defeat".

When the slash of the bandit leader almost hit Anrateon, something shocking happened.

The figure of Anrateon slowly disappeared as if it was crushed into dust.

Along with Anrateon who disappeared, the bandit leader's slash only hit the air before slashing dozens of trees to shreds before disappearing.

The bewildered bandit leader felt a life and death crisis approaching him, therefore he unhesitatingly moved his head left cake.

"Dash!".

A sword scratch wound appeared on the face of the bandit leader which made him break out in a cold sweat. However, if he dodged too late just now even if it was just a second, his head would split into 2.

"You think this little trick can make you beat me" shouted the bandit leader in anger.

As a rank 7, he was injured in a rank 6 attack that definitely made him ridiculed by others.

Under the anger, the bandit leader slashed towards the surroundings which left many trees destroyed. Even the people fighting around him started to flee because the attack of the bandit leader was too arbitrary, not distinguishing between colleagues and enemies.

"There!", shouted the bandit leader happily, he slashed towards where the sound of shooting arrows was heard.

The slash of the bandit leader cut the arrow that was heading towards him easily, then the slash continued to rush towards the person who shot it.

After seeing who the person who shot, the bandit leader was shocked because the bow that shot just now belonged to Anrateon, but the person who shot was not himself but Myro who smiled confidently.

Just before the slash hit Myro, Kanson stepped forward and stopped the slash using his sword as well "I'm not helping your plan, but as I said, the prince's protection is my responsibility. As long as something bad will happen to the prince, I will definitely stop him".

Myro who was behind Kanson smiled, from the very beginning he had suspected Kanson would protect him.

However, Kanson will not help Myro's plan, but rather he works like a strong shield for Myro. For that reason, Myro used himself to deceive and let the bandit leader off guard which would be an opportunity for Anrateon.

"Because of you!", a shout came from behind the bandit leader.

The bandit leader who was shocked by the mistake of guessing between Myro and Anrateon's attacks felt a crisis from behind him, so he turned around while slashing towards the back of "Your lowly plans will not defeat me! You think a surprise attack like this will work? In that case, let me show you that the difference in strength is not something that a lowly plan like this can overcome".

"Dash!".

Blood flew from the slash of the bandit leader, the figure who tried to attack him received the attack of the bandit leader directly on his body which made him receive a large wound.

But what shocked the bandit leader again was that the person he slashed was not Anrateon, but Lokof who had already turned into a tiger-like beast.

Despite receiving heavy injuries, Lokof sustained wounds on his body that continued to bleed while smiling proudly "Because of you! Anrateon, now!".

"Stabs!".

A sword pierced right in the heart of the bandit leader from behind.

The bandit leader immediately felt pain from his body so he lowered his head to spit out a mouthful of blood, he found a sword piercing his heart.

He stared at Anrateon stabbing him from behind "It's not fair, it's not a 1-on-1-fight fight".

The body of the bandit leader fell weakly to the ground, he lost his life as a result of Anrateon's deadly attack.

Anrateon drew his sword from the body of the bandit leader, he stared coldly at the corpse that was silent on the ground "Since when did I say we will fight 1 on 1? What I mean is that there are many things that determine the victory of a fight, not just strength. Among these factors, cooperation is one of them".
