Traveller Of Two Worlds novel Chapter 4

One Snakes Keep, Basement.

2 bandits dragging a beaten-up man coming down from the stair, the man was Baron Larson who is one of Duke Merrica's retainers that followed Duke Merrica on this failed campaign to defeat the vicious bandit groups a few weeks ago. Duke Merrica and his men were beaten up to the pulp every day since they were captured, and today was no exception but amongst the past times, Baron Larson has become the bandit's punching bag the most. The bandit wardens carry Baron Larson to the cell and throw him inside like a sack of wheat, the sound of his harsh land woke up the knights who sleeping inside.

< THUDD!! >

"Ughhhh...". (Baron Larson)

"Larson!!...you animal!!...…aarrgghhh!!". (Duke Merrica)

"Heh!....brainless nobles…how about you run that pie hole of yours some more…..come on~". (Bandit Warden)

One of the bandit wardens kicks Duke Merrica on the stomach, causing the already injured Duke to fall on his knees while holding his bleeding torso.

"....".

Fumes with rage and pain, Duke can only glare at the bandit while his head was stomped to the floor.

"…that was I thought..Cheh!..Lock em up..". (Bandit Warden)

As the cell doors were finally locked, the rest of the knights rushed to the Baron and Duke, All of them immediately assisting Duke Merrica and Baron Larson in tending to their wounds.

"Baron Larson!.. Duke Merrica!!..". ( Knights)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outside One Snakes Keep.

"Sleeping on duty will kill you.….then.…..sleep tight….forever….".

< Psshhuupp!! >

The sound of a 7.65mm bullet going off was muffled by the silencer, my first Target was one of the guards on top of the keep since there are 4 of them just leisurely sleeping on each corner, it makes this so much easier. I'm snipping them from the top of a tree, 100 meters away from the Keep, the 4 lucky(?) guards don't even know what happened all of them died in their sleep with their heads blown to pieces.

[46 Target remaining..].

"....Next up..2 on top of the gate…3…2…".

....< PSSHHUUPP!!>…time to move..".

Aiming for the left guard on top of the gates, I pulled the trigger as he turns away from the right guards, once again a head shot. Before the left guard's body touches the floor, I pulled the trigger once again and this time the right guard's head gets popped. As all high vantage points have been neutralized, I come out from the forest and advance to the gate.

"Huh?..Hol..< PAASSHH!!..>..".(Gate guard 1)

"!!..Ene!!..< BBUUKK!! BBUKK!! ZAASSS!!.>..".(Gate guard 2)

As I closed in the first guard noticed me, but before he can finish his sentence, his jaw was blown off by my bullet. The sudden bloody scene shock the second guard, but it was too late I already throwing my fist at his throat which made his shout immediately stop, I then kicked his knees immediately broke them, and before he got to kneels in pain, I grab his chin and slit his throat with my Karambit, drown and choked on his own blood the second guards were dead within 3 moves.

[42 targets remaining, sir ].

< CLINK!! >….< BBOOOFFF!! >

"AAARRGGHHH!!! MY EYES!!!…"(Bandits)

Eyeing for the small gap between the closed gate, I can see the rowdy bandits busy partying circling around the fire pit in the middle of the square, they don't even realize that 8 of them are already dead. Pulling the pin from the Flashbang, I throw it right in the middle of the courtyard where most of the bandits were.

< PPPAAPP!!...PPAAPP!!...PPAAPP!!...PPSSHHUPPP!!…..>

Before they even got the time to rub their eyes, I come in and start to shower them with bullets, standing right at the entrance, gave me clear views of every single bandit in the square. No such thing as mercy, Not stopping for anything, my index finger keep pulling the trigger, aiming for the heads and chests of every bandit I saw. After emptying 4 clips and several seconds of death wails, all of them lays cold on the ground.

"AAAHHH!!…URGHHH!!…".( Bandits)

"..T.A.S…start body count..…....Start now..".

I changed the clipped of my SCAR-H, then I pulled out my P226 and Shoot one of the bandits who squirmed around near my feet.

[19 targets killed, 23 remainings].

"…hmm, acceptable.... actually, I thought it will be a little bit challenging…again….I brought a rifle into a sword fight…".

(Sir, what will you do to the Slaves over there?..).

"....let's set them aside for now...I think about it after I clear all the bandits..".

I pity them actually, but in all honesty, I don't know what to do with them. On the other side, I got other things on my plate now, for now, I think It's better to clear the whole keep first before dealing with them.

[Sir, the bandit leader, and all high-level members are located on the 2nd floor, Duke party location located inside the basement..].

"..Roger that..".

Of course, I'm aiming for the 2nd floor, now that I know Duke and his men were in the basement, that's actually a good thing because they were confined in a single location. The bandits won't kill them, and their position now definitely won't get them involved in the crossfire, also this makes things easier for me, I don't have to worry about misfiring someone.

< BAM! BAM! >

"(HOLD UP!!)....what do you guys wan…?!". (Bandit)

Banging on the door, I can hear footsteps slowly coming to the door, with an annoying tone the bandit opens the door, only to meet my riffle barrel right in front of his face. I pulled the trigger, the bullet goes through his head, Then I kicked his torso causing him to fly right back, and opened the door widely. The remaining 3 bandits inside were shocked, but before they managed to ask what was going on, I already pulled the trigger aiming for all of them.

.

Yet another 4 dead bodies on the ground, the smells of blood and musty air filled the entrance, the Keep interior was quite warm, it's just looking more like an animal den rather than a keep. The whole thing was littered with rubbish and disorganized, which already annoyed me, the OCD inside me already going insane.

"Why use a Keep if you can't even clean them?...just use a freaking cave then..".

[They're bandits after all…this kind of people don't really care about anything other than their greed...].
