The villagers of Saint Giles Valley, left with no escape from a gang of ruthless bandits, heard this news and immediately sent for help.
The Village Head of Saint Giles Valley rode on a donkey, traveling day and night to reach Wolf Town and requested Winters to enforce the law across the border.
Moreover, he promised that everything owned by the bandits could be taken by Winters as spoils of war.
Except for the women—the women of Saint Giles Valley.
Indeed, these bandits not only plundered food and money, but they also preyed on women.
More than a dozen women from Saint Giles Valley were abducted into the bandits' stronghold, among which five were unmarried, the youngest girl being not even fourteen years old.
Needless to say, Winters was furious, and so were the militiamen, who itched with rage upon hearing such things.
For scum like this, Winters would have dealt with them even without compensation.
