It was only after these people left that Tassia walked over, full of surprise, and asked dubiously, "Did you conquer all the gangs nearby?"
The gangs in the settlement are nothing, more like local ruffians.
The real tough guys.
They all leave the settlement and rule the no-man's land in the lower levels of Nest City. Within the settlement, there is the Mechanical Divine Sect suppressing things; killing someone has to be done sneakily. If discovered by the Defender Army, there might even be a wanted notice issued. Outside, killing is much simpler, and the bodies can be easily disposed of, considered a kind of resource.
Duncan shrugged upon hearing this and said indifferently, "No."
"I'm just using them for some exercise."
Gang members aren't significant enough to be brought to the table.
Duncan just wanted to test the combat prowess of Human Form No. Three; real tough guys are not as weak as these amateurs.
To put it bluntly, they can't even defeat Duncan's soldiers.
