Three days had passed since the previous incident.
By this time, Minos and Abby were near the center of the Flooded Valley.
After that attack, the two had encountered two other groups of criminals throughout this forest. Still, neither team was stronger than the last. Due to this, they were quickly exterminated by Minos!
Finally, the young Stuart had collected all of their items and accumulated a fair amount of resources for the Black Plain. He still hadn't stopped to count his winnings, but he was sure that he would have good earnings when he finished this matter.
And as to why he wanted to destroy the local bandit group, well, that was because of two factors.
First, he had found out from that previous individual that there was a criminal camp in the middle of the Flooded Valley.
