Magus: Rise of the Darkness Empress

A few hundreds of meters away from the village, all the male members of Weiss’s group gathered for a short strategy meeting.

With Evan’s decently powerful senses of a peak level knight, he had already found out the approximate number of people who were in the small village. Obviously not all of them would be the fake bandits but still, the number would not go above 200.

This sounded like a huge number specially for a team of only five people to handle. But that was actually not the case.

If both sides did not have an official knight level powerhouse, then numbers were extremely important. But with an official knight on the team, what mattered the most was the level of the knight and if there were more of them.

A low level knight was easily capable of defeating a few hundreds of people. And for a mid level official knight, a few thousands were also an easy game. With enough time in hand, killing even ten thousand of them was not impossible by any means.

So with the addition of the knights, the battle planning and situation became less important. But the men here still needed this discussion for a simple reason, which was their goal.

The men here were not just planning to take the loot kept in the village and go. They were also going to liberate the oppressed villagers.

But that was not all. They were also planning to be ruthless and wipe out all the fake bandits, without any exception.

But doing so was super hard. As soon as the fake bandits would realise that they had no chance of winning, they would immediately scatter in all directions and would try to run away.

In that case, even with Evan and Toroda going all out, killing all the bandits without any exception would be extremely hard if not completely impossible.

That was why, the men here were planning. They were first going to make sure that the bandits would not be able to run away before starting the massacre.

For this, it was important to take care of the biggest threat so far. And that was a low level knight who was stationed in this village.

For him, Evan was planning to use assassination to get rid of him. As for who would be the assassin, it was obviously he himself.

And after killing the man, he was planning to get out of the village and secure the village parameters with the other three men. And only then, the last knight of their party would go in.

Even though Toroda was just a mid level knight, his strength was insane, even stronger than most strength specialised high knighs.

Even though he was unable to use his hammer to make weapons now, his combat abilities were not effected by it that much.

Toroda was unable to do blacksmithing because he needed a precise control over the force of the hammer while he was hammering. Which he was currently not able to do because of the pain. If he tried to craft anything now, he would just break it.

But as long as he endured the pain that he was feeling, there was a possibility for him to continue swinging his hammer again and again. And even though the pain was definitely not minor, for an official knight like him, it was not unbearable by any means.

So after, everyone else had surrounded the village and were ready to take care of any fake bandits trying to run away, Toroda would go in, completely alone.

The knight’s secret art that Toroda used, it was specialised for Strength and Vitality. So even though Toroda moved extremely slowly, he was like a walking fortress with a lot of cannons.

The enemy attacks would not hurt him that much. On the other hand, his own attacks were extremely deathly to anyone near him. So as long as Toroda was capable of closing the distance, he was an absolute killing machine.

So this was the plan. It was simple but extremely effective if something unexpected did not happen. And with the plan made, without wasting any time, all the men got ready to make their move.

...

Toshito was a new knight who had reached this realm just a few months ago. He was the first among his generation to reach this realm at the age of 28 and he was super happy about this achievement. He definitely had a bright future ahead.

But then, with an order from his master, he was sent to this remote village, with the absurd order of leading a group of fake bandits. There was no way a proud knight like him would be happy and satisfied with this situation.

But after a few days of looting and killing, Toshito had found himself enjoying this situation quite a bit. It turned out that looting, killing and kidnapping were extremely fun activities.

And as it was something that he could not normally enjoy, the forbidden pleasure that he felt from committing these acts was irresistible.

With this kind of mindset, the group of fake bandits that he lead had turned into something that was even worse than a real one. This group was so cruel and evil that seeing their atrocious actions would make a real bandit to pee in their pants and run away in fear.

And the main culprit behind all this was Toshito himself. Now that he found out that being a bandit was super fun, he was planning to go all out in his action.

But fortunately for his future victims, this man’s life was cut short. After fucking a few ladies of this village before the their husbands and sons, he came out to use some herbs to calm his super excite nerves.

Then as soon as he had taken some of it his mouth and his mind had started to become peaceful, an arrow had appeared out of nowhere and had went through his skull, shattering it and killing him in the process.

This arrow was a special artifact created by Toroda himself and was released by the peak level knight Evan, with the assistance of his powerful and pure life force. So there was was no way for the newly advanced knight to resist it.

And with his death, this camp was now devoid of any knights. So finally, it was time for Toroda to go in and for the massacre to begin.
