The bald bandit spoke anxiously as he watched the distant soldiers split into small groups and rout the Centipede Swarm.
The Bandit Leader knew this was no time for delay. He couldn't afford to worry about being tied down by the guards during their retreat.
He immediately gave the order to retreat to his men, who were wounded and exhausted. "Brothers, we're leaving…"
"Don't let these bandits escape." Seeing the gang of bandits about to flee, the Guard Captain prepared to lead his men in pursuit to tie them down.
But just then, their employer spoke up, shouting to the guards who were preparing to pursue the bandits.
"Captain Wang, just let them go! There are still centipedes running wild all over the place. If you chase after those bandits, our lives could be in danger."
Hearing the Merchant Team Leader's shout, the guards who were about to pursue the fleeing bandits all halted.
