Village Chief Spike wiped his mouth upon hearing this.
His expression changed as he began to speak seriously.
"Sitanos Village has recently suffered from bandit problems. A gang of bandits is stationed near the village."
"They often attack the cattle pens at night, kill villagers, especially the ones tending cattle, who suffer unspeakably."
"These bandits even disguise themselves as traveling merchants, sneaking into the village to inquire everywhere, making every cattle-raising villager in the village feel uneasy."
"Especially the big landlord in the village, Master Mars; his losses are the most severe."
At this point, Village Chief Spike lowered his voice and leaned close to Zong Shen's ear.
"Even Master Mars's beloved little daughter was kidnapped last night."
"Our village guards are too few in number to launch an attack, and the reinforcements from Bang City are too far away, taking two days for a round trip..."
