"How could they? They are dirt poor." Another one replied.

"We picked this village to evade the mercenaries, but here they are." One of the bandits said.

"Yeah, we knew this village would be poor to raid but we did not have a choice because of the mercenary group that has been blocking our way." Another one said. "I was looking forward on tasting their women at least."

"Yeah, that is right." One of the bandits said. "Those f*cking mercenaries are disrupting our line of work."

"Hey boss, you said there are only two of them guarding." Said one. "Even though they have others inside the village, they will not be that great of a number, right? We are at least a few dozen here. We can take them on."

The boss heeded his men's words. It is true that these mercenary group was an obstacle for them. They have clashed with them for a number of times now. He knew how skilled these mercenaries are in fighting. But they also have an advantage in numbers now.

"We can get revenge for our fallen comrades." A bandit said.

"Yeah, let us take revenge on these mercenaries at least." The other one agreed.

"I agree to that." The boss replied. "But let us still be cautious. Let as make a plan that will surely get us victory."

The boss was also furious towards this mercenary group that have been disrupting their so called 'business'.

'The Crimsons Mercenaries.' The boss thought. 'They were dubbed bandits for a cause not too long ago. Hah, pathetic.'

"Let us start to take revenge on our fallen comrades." The boss said proudly. There was a sinister loon on his face.

"I have a plan." One bandit raised his hand. He was rather meek looking to be a bandit. It was like he was the odd ball from these group of bandits. "I know someone inside. We can ask him about information regarding the mercenaries staying inside the village."

"That is a great idea, David." Another bandit said. "We can ask him where these mercenaries are lodging, and we can slit their throats while they sleep."

"Can you contact that person right now?" The boss asked. "Whatever happens, we need to do this tonight. Let us use the element of surprise."

"Y-Yes, I have a way to contact her boss." David replied meekly.

"Then call her right now." The boss said with a grin on his face.

Time went by and David came back with a young woman.

"Ho, ho, ho, what do we have here?" A bandit said.

"She looks pretty." One bandit said. "Is she your lover?"

"Hahah, what a shock. You have a beautiful lover tucked away in this remote village." Another one said.

"Why don't we play with her after we are done with our job." The other one said.

The notorious looking bandits were starting to hover around the young man. David used his body as a shield to stop the other bandits' advances.

"P-Please stop this." David said. "She is pregnant."

"Oho, you little rascal you." A bandit teased him.

"Stop it." The boss interjected. "This is not the time to entertain your lusts. This woman is David's so just lay off. There are other women in the village for the taking once we are thru."

"Woo-hoo." The bandits shouted. "Boss really is the best."

"Now, little missy. What can you tell us about the mercenaries inside your village?" The boss looked at the young woman quite intimidatingly.
