During the meeting between Anrateon and 2 other bandit leaders, right after Ravines finished delivering his plan to deceive Rylis "What do you think? I am sure my plan will be successful as long as 1 person completes the role well, namely Anrateon! You're the key to our success in defeating Rylis. As long as you manage to pull Rylis towards your base under the siege of our troops, I'm sure we'll win".
"The main problem is that Rylis is a very careful person, I'm sure he will not fall into our trap easily, there is even a chance that he will be suspicious and void towards your headquarters. So as I said, the success or failure of the plan this time, it's all in your hands, Anrateon".
A confident smile appeared on Anrateon "Don't worry, the matter of deceiving others is my forte! As long as you keep what you say to use your full strength to help me finish off the Red Sword Bandits, I will definitely cheat Rylis without any problem. But if you only help half-and-half, I will sell you to Rylis and join her".
Tila who had been silent to listen said firmly "I know what you are worried about, however as people often say, the word bandit is the most unbelievable word. But the situation is different now, we have the same enemy, besides we are under the same pressure, he said, as long as the Red Sword Bandits remain as they are now then it remains a matter of time until we are all destroyed. For that reason, rather than sitting quietly and observing the expanding Red Sword Bandits, we would rather raise our swords and finish them all off using 1 strike".
...----------------...
No matter how deceived Rylis was, he understood that he was the one who was tricked here, not the one who managed to deceive Anrateon.
Rylis' red eyes stared at the 2 rank 7 bandits that were in front of her "Tila, Ravines, great! I think we're partners protecting each other, especially from a royal attack. But in the end you betrayed me today, I shouldn't have believed the words of bandits like you".
Ravines shook his head "Rylis, don't talk as if you were the victim. Both me and Tila from the beginning have felt the strangeness you did, your ambition is getting bigger and bigger, you continue to strengthen your army to control the entire forest. Therefore, before you have enough strength to clean us all up, wouldn't it be better for us to clean you up first?".
"That's right" Tila said nodding in agreement "Don't act like you're being betrayed, even though you're the one who betrayed us! Instead of waiting for you to clean us up, now we'd rather clean you up first".
Anrateon who was above the gate of his headquarters smiled mocking "Chairman Rylis, how does it feel to be deceived by someone you think has been deceived? I heard that on the battlefield you used to be famous for your cunning that tricked many enemies and brought victory to the kingdom, what it was like when cunning and intelligence were the things you were most proud of, but in this war you lost to your own lack of cunning?".
"Shut up! Shut up!", shouted Rylis like a madman with her blood-red eyes "I have not lost at all, all of you will lose! The whole army, don't be afraid! Although their numbers are far above ours, they are all just bandits whereas we have been trained through the heavy military for many years. For that reason, show them the difference of a soldier compared to bandits like them!".
"Get it!".
Despite knowing they had been framed, but just like Rylis had said, they had all been in the royal military once which made them different from the bandits.
If it was the bandits, after falling into an unfortunate situation like the Red Sword Bandits, most of them would have started to give up or run away thinking about their own lives.
But the Red Sword Bandits used to be from the military, for that reason they all still had a certain sense of loyalty and struggle, especially their leader was not a coward who ran away even though they fought to the death.
Rylis was at the very front of the line, he led his 1000 troops who looked like a group of ferocious wolves towards the group of bandits.
The bandits from the Blood Storm and Gold Coins were also slightly frightened due to the frightening aura of the Red Sword Bandits, fortunately the Anrateon troops were more trained so they only showed a resolute eye towards the ferocity of the enemy forces.
Noticing the troops behind him feeling a little scared, Ravines shouted "Don't look at their ferocious attitude, in the end they are just a rabbit that has been cornered! With more of us, the enemy is not our opponent at all! Today, we will clear the entire Red Sword Bandit".
"Shelf!".
2 armies collided with each other resulting in loud noises, the collision of weapons and the cries of pain continued to resound throughout the battlefield, even blood quickly dyed the entire ground.
Currently Rylis was slashing her sword against Tila who was wearing a small sword as well as Ravines who also used a sword but he had the addition of dark magic.
The leaders' fight was fierce. Although alone, Rylis did not show any weakness but her sword still managed to injure the 2 enemies in front of her, but the wounds on Rylis' own body were much more.
When Rylis was holding back the slash of Ravines' dark sword, Tila's sword immediately pierced her stomach.
"Stabs!".
A large wound formed on Rylis' body from Tila's attack, but she ignored the pain and hit Tila's shoulder.
"Krak!", the sound of a broken bone was heard, Tila flew for several meters due to Rylis's punch and her right hand was broken.
Despite taking down Tila, Ravines seizes the opportunity. He slashed his dark sword towards Rylis' neck.
"Slash".
Ravines who thought his sword must have slashed through Rylis' neck found something surprising, Rylis sacrificing her right hand to stay alive.
Rylis' right hand was removed from her body due to the slash of the sword, the sword her right hand held flying.
But he ignored the pain of losing his right hand, all his energy gathering in his left hand and then he struck towards the neck of the Ravines without hesitation.
"Shelf!".
Ravines' neck was instantly broken by the blow, his body being thrown tens of meters away before falling to the ground losing his life. With 1 punch, Rylis killed 1 rank 7 bandit and injured 1 other rank 7 bandit to the point of not being able to fight anymore.
Rylis who lost her right hand and there was a fatal wound on her stomach raised her fists high then shouted loudly which attracted the attention of everyone around her "I am the winner!".
