As for fending off bandit attacks?
In Lorde's view, it didn't matter.
No matter how fierce or brutal these bandits were,
He would not suffer the slightest harm.
He was confident of remaining unscathed under a bandit raid.
And the civilians attacked by bandits?
What did that have to do with him?
These civilians were not within the scope of his mission objectives.
Besides, in three days that idiot would arrive, naturally needing to be kept busy!
And what's busier than suppressing bandits?
Of course, it's bandits who have reaped a rich harvest and are preparing to retreat to the mountains.
At the thought of the opponent running through the mountains and forests like a dog, Lorde couldn't help but chuckle.
He was genuinely pleased at his competitor's misfortune.
Moreover, this situation allowed him to delay time smoothly.
It was simply killing two birds with one stone!
What more could he not do?
Of course, to make Bondi and Holle obedient, he had to 'make a statement.'
