FATE: Target of Grand Master

"Hey, Andrei, you're not really scared, are you?"

At this moment, four young men named Yaga were gathered at the home of the Yaga who had been beaten up by Xia Yan earlier.

"It's not a question of whether I'm afraid or not. I just feel that with food available right now, there's no need to rush to loot."

Andrei recalled that when Xia Yan issued the decree prohibiting robbery that afternoon, he had given him a special glance, the warning in which was particularly strong.

Andrei had a feeling that the court magician had already discovered from his performance that afternoon that he was the leader of the young and strong Yaga people here.

One of the Yagas advised, "Andrei, has your brain been damaged by the court magician? If you don't rob now, there won't be any left to rob in a couple of days. Besides, haven't we often robbed other Yagas's food before? Those old geezers can't beat us at all, and the village chief and the others don't dare to say anything. It's no big deal."

"But Her Majesty the Queen and the court magician have strictly forbidden it this time," Andrei said.

"They've all left. Who knows what will happen here next? I think you're just scared," another Yaga accused.

Seeing the four men's resolute attitude, Andrei decided to be blunt and said, "Yes, I'm scared. Since you're not scared, why don't you just go and rob it yourselves? Why did you specifically call me along?"

The four Yaga exchanged glances, seemingly unable to believe that Andrei would say such a thing. Then, the Yaga with a scar on his face said, "Andrei, we called you that because we respected you as our leader. Since you now have no courage to lead us, from this moment on, you are no longer our leader. Let's go!"

After saying that, the four Yaga filed out, and the last one slammed Andrei's door shut with a loud "bang".

After the four Yaga left, they discussed it briefly and decided that four able-bodied men were more than capable of robbing three elderly Yaga, so they didn't call for more people.

After retrieving their hunting rifles from their homes, the four Yaga went to a somewhat dilapidated hut on the edge of the village.

They kicked the door open and were surprised to find that the house was unlocked.

However, their attention was quickly drawn to something else.

Half a unit of meat was laid out on the ground by the door, with a note next to it. The note roughly said that the old man Yaga in this house was willing to give the half unit of meat to any Yaga who wanted to take it, but asked them not to damage anything else in the house.

"Should we wait here for that old man to come back and steal his other half too?"

A young Yaga asked.

"No. Even if I'm old, Yaga can still spend the night outside without much trouble. Instead of wasting time here, I'd rather go and snatch up a second place."

Scarface Yaga immediately signaled to one of his companions to take the meat, and the four Yaga immediately went to the second house. Their every word and action was seen by Wei, who had released an invisibility spell.

boom!

Another heavy kick sent the door of the second house flying open, letting the cold wind howl into the already damp room.

An elderly woman named Yaga was curled up inside the house, seemingly unsurprised by the intrusion of four young and strong Yaga.

"Old man, hand over the meat, or we'll have to take action."

Scarface Yaga loaded the hunting rifle right in front of the elderly woman Yaga.

"They're all there. I haven't touched them."

The elderly woman, Yaga, pointed to the only broken cabinet in the room.

After taking the meat, the four Yaga people swaggered off to the third elderly Yaga's house without even closing the door.

"Hehe, if that coward Andrei knew that we got two portions of meat without even using a single bullet today, he'd probably be kicking himself."

"That's right, that's right."

Scarface Yaga's words were supported by the other three Yaga, and the four of them chatted and laughed all the way to the house of the third elderly Yaga.

boom!

This time, before the four Yaga could even kick down the door, the sound of a hunting rifle came from inside the house, startling the four men so much that they quickly sought cover.

"You bastards, my flesh was given to me by Her Majesty the Empress, and none of you are getting any of it!"

Clearly, the temper of this third elderly man, Ya Ga, has not diminished with age.

"Tch, this old geezer is definitely the most troublesome."

Scarface Yaga spat and signaled to his three companions to split into two groups and run towards the house from two directions simultaneously.

The simultaneous activation of the four Yaga left the elderly Yaga inside the house momentarily unsure of who to attack.

boom!

The hasty shooting only hit one Yaga in the leg, but the remaining three Yaga had already rushed to the door.

boom!

The three Yaga smashed down the door, then raised their guns and aimed at the elderly Yaga inside.

"You old bastard, die!"

Bang bang bang!

Three bullets were fired simultaneously at the elderly Yaga, who was clearly still unaware of what was happening.

However, at that moment, a rag doll suddenly appeared in front of the old man Yaga, and gently exhaled a breath of cold air that froze the three bullets.

"What is this?"

Scarface Yaga was also puzzled by this unexpected turn of events.

But a Yaga standing next to him suddenly spoke up: "This doll looks like the one Her Majesty the Queen was holding during the day."

Upon hearing this, the three Yaga felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Never mind, let's kill it first!"

Without hesitation, Scarface Yaga immediately raised his gun and fired at Viko.

boom!

However, how could a shotgun bullet possibly harm Vi, an ancient elf?

Like the previous three bullets, this bullet was frozen in mid-air.

"run!"

Seeing that he couldn't hurt Wei at all, the leader, Scarface Yaga, immediately turned and ran.

However, when the three of them ran out of the house, they saw Xia Yan, Anastasia, and the other Servants standing outside.

Yaga, whose leg had been injured earlier, was now trampled under Xia Yan's feet.

"I remember saying before I left that we shouldn't steal the food Her Majesty the Queen had given us, right?"

The three Yaga remained silent.

"What, are you pretending to be deaf and dumb now?"

Xia Yan chuckled softly, then continued, "However, it's alright. We will hold a public trial for you in a moment. According to the laws of this country, those who disobey the Empress's decree should be executed."

The leader, Scarface Yaga, seemed to be completely blinded by fear. He shouted, "So what if she's the Empress? The great Thunder Emperor said that for survival, any means are acceptable!"

Xia Yan raised an eyebrow, not expecting that this scarred Ya Ga could actually argue so illogically.

However, this was a good opportunity to reshape the village's values, so Xia Yan did not immediately refute the other party, but instead took all four Yaga to the square during the day.

At the call of the Yaga village chief's family, the square was soon filled with all the Yaga villagers.

After Morgan magically conjured a courtroom, the public trial began for the case of four young Yaga who had openly defied Her Majesty the Queen's decree.
