Chapter 237: Bandit Tribe Leader
Chapter 237: Bandit Tribe Leader
Along their way to the centre of the bandit tribe where the leader was likely to be, they were disgusted even more by the bandit tribe and felt good about killing them.
There were women, children and prisoners all treated as slaves and unable to fight against the bandits and treated horribly.
They did with them as they pleased and all sorts of horrific things took place.
The bandits could no longer be considered humans with most of them not caring about the lives of others and treating them as mere slaves or toys for their own pleasure.
Angela and Ella, who would usually leave most of the killing to Lex, not enjoying getting blood on their hands and able to handle it less than Lex, were killing more bandits than Lex.
The speed at which they took down bandits was alarming and they were clearly both infuriated and all were on the same page as Lex.
Before they could continue their journey, this island and any other they came across that was ruled by such disgraceful individuals would need to be saved by them, otherwise, they would never be able to live with themselves.
After an hour of heading towards the centre of the bandit tribe and rapid speeds while facing many bandits along the way, they finally reached the central area that was most heavily guarded and was where they were likely to find their leader.
"Come out leader of this bandit tribe" bellowed Lex as he released his killing intent and the power of his Dominant Eye.
He was unsure what exactly to expect from the bandit leader, but his power was most likely that of an early Mortal King, considering the power of all of his subordinates.
Despite that, he wouldn't be a match for Lex who was on the verge of breaking through and becoming a Mortal King both externally and internally, and also had all sorts of abilities at his disposal.
Lex's aura and dominance caused many to fear him or at least become intimidated as they all looked for the bandit leader to protect and represent them against Lex.
The bandit leader was one of the most powerful cultivators on the island along with the other bandit tribe leaders, so Lex's call to battle and clear enmity couldn't be ignored.
He needed to make sure his position as a leader and the morale of his subordinates was always high, so facing Lex was inevitable.
The destruction and chaos could be heard throughout the bandit tribe that was the size of the continent and the tens of thousands of bandits that ruled over it were being slaughtered rapidly.
If he didn't act soon, the bandits would begin to lose hope and morale, while his respect and reputation as a leader would also be ruined.
"Who dares intrude on my territory and attack my tribe"
The bandit leader's voice was loud and powerful, resounding through the entire country as the house he was in suddenly blew up.
He had never expected that the three individuals that had appeared on the shore of the island and came from even further away from the Lower Plains would be so capable.
They were fast, powerful had amazing abilities and also had the ability to summon hundreds of fox beasts that were all powerful, but also intelligent and obedient.
If the bandit leader was able to get them to join him, he could take over the other bandit tribes with ease and not only could he begin taking over this island, but many others in the area.
They were clearly capable, but what the bandit leader wanted was their treasures and to steal or their valuables that allowed them to become as capable as they were.
However, he had misunderstood.
Lex, Ella and Angela were not relying on any valuables or treasures.
They were merely powerful and on track to becoming the 3 that would shake not only the Lower Plains, but also the plains above.
Lex was impressed by the power that emanated from the bandit leader, but it still wasn't enough to intimidate him and it also didn't excuse his actions.
"We do. What are you going to do about it?" responded Lex as he walked over to him confidently.
Beside him were Angela and Ella who also prepared to fight, knowing that Lex was weakened after forming and while still sustaining so many clones.
They also wanted the chance to take down the bandit leader for themselves, as it was an opportunity to test themselves, while they also detested the bandit leader for how he ran the tribe.
"Hmph. You are one arrogant boy, with those two beauties. What do you call yourself?"
The bandit leader was more amused and interested by Lex and his companions than angry for that moment, as if he truly was able to get them over to his side and steal their treasures, it would be worth every man that he lost to their attack.
"You do not deserve to know who I am and just know that you along with the rest of the bandit tribes on this island will be destroyed" responded Lex as he continued closing in on him.
'How can such powerful people come from those weak lands further out in the Lower Plains. They must have had fortuitous encounters and those eyes. He might really be an Eye Master'
The Bandit Leader was amazed by Lex's eyes and although the rumours and existence of Eye Masters was widely known, seeing one on such a small and weak island was unbelievable.
"How about this. If you join me, I can forgive all of your previous transgressions and you can become my right hand man and together we can take over this entire island and all other islands in our area" offered the bandit leader.
"All you have to do is swear your loyalty to me and as a bargaining chip, hand over your two ladies"
Hearing his proposal, Lex, Ella and Angela began to laugh and all the bandits and slaves in the area that were listening were amazed by what was occurring.
