Li Wei quickly pulled out his magic staff and sword to defend against the slash. He looked in the direction of the slash but there was only darkness.

Li Wei held his sword vigilantly and looked around but found nothing. He thought that the people here might have been killed. However, Owen came over and patted Li Wei’s shoulder, indicating for him to put down the sword.

“Teacher, be careful. The people here might have been killed,” Li Wei said in a low voice.

Although he had confidence in Owen’s strength, he knew that carelessness often brought disaster. So, he kept the sword while reminding Owen to be careful.

Owen smiled and patted Li Wei’s head. He jokingly scolded, “Wolf bandits aren’t the kind of beings that you can easily resist. Don’t worry, they are people.”

Li Wei looked at Owen doubtfully. However, Owen did not care about him. Instead, he shouted toward the darkness, “Come out, we’re not wolf bandits. We’re from the Spano Academy. We heard that there are wolf bandits here, so we came to take a look.”

“Who would believe the words of bandits like you?” A voice came from the darkness.

Li Wei had identified the direction and was about to grab his sword and go over. However, Owen stopped him.

Then, he continued, “We really don’t have any ill intentions. If you don’t believe me, take a look at our clothes. We’re from the Spano Academy.” As Owen spoke, he cast an illumination spell on himself and Li Wei.

“It really is the people from the Spano Academy. Big Brother, we finally have reinforcements.” A stout man’s voice sounded in the darkness.

Only then did Li Wei realize that this was the defensive precautions of the Holy Knight Village. Li Wei was glad that he did not start a conflict.

“Whether it’s the people from the Spano Academy or not, we just need to go over and take a look.” After saying that, three people holding longswords appeared in the darkness.

“Show me the certificate of the Spano Academy!” the leader shouted. He did not dare to go near Li Wei and Owen.

Owen heard this and threw it to the two of them. The leader looked at it for a while before the man decided to leave the other two behind. Then, he brought Owen and Li Wei into the village.

After entering the village, Li Wei realized that the Holy Knight Village was really a three-step sentry post.

“Almost all the men in our village are taking turns to keep watch at night. Those bandits will move more frequently at night,” the man saw Li Wei’s curiosity and explained to him.

Did the bandits refer to the wolf bandits? Li Wei was very confused. Although it was only one word short, it was very different. How could such a cautious village say something wrong?

“Aren’t they wolf bandits?” Li Wei asked.

“Sigh, I can’t explain this either. Why don’t you ask the village chief later?”

Li Wei did not ask any more questions. He continued to observe the village while moving forward. Then, he was shocked. The men in this village were all knights.

The stronger ones were at the completion of the basic knight level. The rest of them had some battle spirit.

“Your village is quite strong.”

“Of course. I heard that our village had a knight 200 years ago and that person seems to be a big shot.” The man became proud when he talked about the history of the village.

“Oh? A knight? 200 years ago? He should still be alive. What’s his name?” Li Wei’s interest was piqued.

“I don’t know, but the village chief should know.”

“It shouldn’t be. If that knight was still alive, he’d have stepped out to protect this place,” Owen said in a low voice. However, his voice was too soft for Li Wei and the man to hear.

Finally, the two of them followed the man to a sentry post at the other end of the village.

“Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to guard the East well?” An old man immediately began to scold the man when he saw the three of them.

At this time, there was no room for error. This man had actually left his post without permission.

“Village chief, I brought people here to look for you,” the man explained.

“Who are you? Don’t you know our current situation? You still dare to come here? Aren’t you afraid of death? And you, are a few outsiders so important that you actually disregard the safety of the village?” The village chief directly cursed.

“We’re from the Spano Academy and we’re here to help,” at this moment, Li Wei took a step forward and explained.

“People from the Spano Academy? You’re finally here!” Upon hearing that it was people from the Spano Academy, the village chief immediately changed his attitude.

There was nothing he could do. The students of the Spano Academy were very famous in the entire Spano Province.

The village chief immediately came over and said, “Little Brothers, you’re finally here. Over a dozen people in our village have already been killed by that group of animals in the past few days.”

“Don’t worry, village chief. Since we’re here, we’ll definitely solve the problem. Tell us about the situation first.”

Li Wei was also infuriated by those heartless wolf bandits. He wanted nothing more than to pull out their tendons. However, Owen stood on the side, thinking about something.

The village chief immediately began to talk. Through the village chief’s story, Li Wei understood the general situation.

The wolf bandits initially only hunted their prey in a jungle outside the village. Later, they somehow gathered a group of humans and became an organized group of bandits. Then, they began to massacre the surrounding villages.

At first, because of the strong strength of the Holy Knight Village, the entire population was at war, so they were able to help others. However, the results were not good. None of those people came back alive.

Then, the wolf bandits led a group of bandits to the Holy Knight Village. Fortunately, after experiencing the strength of the Holy Knight Village, the wolf bandits led the people to retreat.

It was not until these two days that the wolf bandits began to launch their probing attacks again. Each time, several people from the Holy Knight Village would die.

Fortunately, the wolf bandits did not launch a grand scale attack. Thus, the Holy Knight Village finally withstood the bandits’ attacks. They held on until the arrival of Li Wei and Owen.

After listening to the village chief’s narration, Li Wei had some plans in his heart. Then, he asked the village chief, “Do you know the strength of the wolf bandits?”

“The two wolf bandits in the lead should be high-level knights. As for their lackeys, most of them are people with no cultivation or are just apprentice knights,” the village chief answered truthfully.

“Okay, I’ll set off tomorrow to kill these detestable fellows.”

Hearing Li Wei’s words, the village chief immediately felt relieved. In this realm, Li Wei believed that he still had the strength to fight.

Then, the village chief asked the people who had brought Li Wei here to bring Li Wei and Owen to rest. As for him, he had to stand on the last watch.

Owen did not say anything along the way. Li Wei was a little surprised by Owen’s abnormal behavior. Li Wei only thought that Owen was worried about him, so he did not ask any more questions.

The night passed without a word. The next day, at dawn, Li Wei packed his belongings and prepared to set off to the forest where the wolf bandits were hiding..
