Chapter 171: The Power of Encirclement

“The bandits had originally wanted all the girls here to follow them up the mountain, but after a strong refusal, they were allowed to continue living in the village.”

When Mike heard this, he instantly kept thinking about it in his mind.

‘If these girls had followed the bandits up the mountain, there wouldn’t be a single person left in Condon Village, right?”

At the thought of this, a wave of anger rose in Mike’s heart once again.

Then, Mike asked again, “May I ask Village Chief Ensi, which mountains do the bandits who offended this place live on?”

Ensi thought for a moment and then said, “Most of the bandits here come from Ur Mountain! The rest are from Mount Taidun and Mount Nash!”

Mike said, “I see, I’ll make note of it!”

At this moment, Ensi spoke again.

“It’s useless, young man. Even if you kill all the bandits, it’s not enough to save our village which is already in such bad shape!”

“Why? Village Chief Ensi, why do you say that?” Lilian asked.

Ensi sighed again.

“If you kill all the bandits, we will lose our chance to live!”

“Why do you say that?” Mike pressed further.

Ensi lamented, “Didn’t you say it just now? The farmland here has been completely abandoned. What we rely on now is the food that the mountain bandits cultivate themselves to survive.

“If all the mountain bandits died, we would indeed be free, but in exchange, we would only be able to sit and silently wait for death!”

When Mike heard this, he suddenly felt a little bemused.

Then, Mike asked, “Why do you say that? Don’t you still have several young girls? Can’t they go to work?”

Ensi shook her head and said sadly.

“It’s useless. In fact, I have told them about this idea before, but now they have become completely different from before!”

“Why do you say that?”

Mike asked again, puzzled.

Seeing that Mike was still puzzled, Ensi explained.

“Ever since this group of bandits came here, they have been buying sex here every night.

“Apart from giving the girls food, the bandits will also give the girls here rewards such as gold, silver, and jewelry!

“Gradually, I found that our girls seemed to have gradually gotten used to it and accepted this kind of work.”

When Mike heard this, he could not help but clench his fists.

When Ensi saw this, she continued.

“Many of them were forced at the beginning, but when they gradually got used to it, this so-called forced work became their habit.

“If there were no more bandits here, they would definitely not go to the fields to do farm work.

“Compared to farming, which took months to achieve little results, they have now become addicted to the way they live now.”

After hearing what Ensi had just told them, Mike and Lilian could not help but feel very sad.

Mike whispered to Lilian.

“I can’t believe that all the girls here have become like this. It’s really a pity.”

“Yes, the root of all this is because of the bandits! If it not for these bandits, these girls would not have become like this.”

Mike calmed down for a moment and said to Ensi.

“Village Chief Ensi, if that’s the case, you can give all the gold, silver, and jewelry to the girls in the village for me!”

When Ensi heard Mike’s generous offer, she quickly waved her hand to refuse.

“Forget it, we don’t need your charity!”

Seeing Ensi’s attitude, Mike knew he could not say anything more.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he decided to leave.

“Village Chief Ensi, if that’s the case, we’ll take our leave then!”

Ensi gazed at Mike and Lilian who were gradually walking away and silently said in her heart, ‘I hope you won’t blame me!’

Mike and Lilian had already left Condon Village.

After making their way out of the village, Lilian opened her mouth to speak to Mike.

“I really can’t believe that Condon Village has become like this. I can’t believe that Village Chief Ensi isn’t willing to make any changes. That’s a really rare sight!”

Mike replied after listening to Lilian.

“Actually, from the conversation just now, I could tell that Village Chief Ensi did not seem to be a good person!”

Lilian was a little puzzled.

“Why do you say that? Didn’t she not even accept our gold, silver, and jewelry?”

Mike looked at Lilian meaningfully and then said, “In my opinion, this is not a standard to judge whether she is good or not!

“This was only because she did not want to get a good reputation of being greedy for money!

“If she really wanted to do the best for the village, why would she watch the girls in the village sink into the mire without daring to make any changes?

“She wasn’t even willing to give it a try. How could such a person sincerely hope that Condon Village would be able to escape the clutches of the Bandits?”

After hearing Mike’s opinion, Lilian could not help but fall into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, “Hearing you say that makes me feel that it’s a little strange as well! No wonder the two girls who showed us the way became a little cold after hearing us mention the Village Chief!”

Mike shook his head and made his suggestion to Lilian.

“I think we should continue on our way for now. As for the matter of this Condon Village, when we return to the Royal City of Romon, we’ll go and report it to Rowe and Romon!”

With that, Mike and Lilian continued to head south.

Suddenly, a group of black shadows blocked Mike and Lilian’s way.

“I say, where are you going?”

Mike and Lilian looked ahead. At the moment, a group of about thirty to forty bandits had blocked their way.

The leader of the bandits was looking at Lilian with a lewd expression.

“I didn’t expect that old woman to be right! She really does look like a fairy! Hahahahaha!”

Mike and Lilian heard what the bandit said and quickly understood the meaning of their words.

So Mike took the initiative to address this group of bandits.

“So, it was Village Chief Ensi who exposed our whereabouts to you!”

When the leader of the bandits heard this, he smirked and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so quick-witted!”
