As a venomous snake, I evolved into a god through devouring.

In short, their bodies need to be dealt with.

Kasper began to have a problem.

If it were truly a chance encounter in the wild, he could simply walk away without paying any attention to these things.

Because soon, scavengers or powerful carnivores will come and devour the corpses, and in less than a week, they will disappear completely.

Unfortunately, things weren't that easy.

These two were probably asked by their superiors to handle miscellaneous items and are temporarily staying near the village, as they are scheduled to return the next day to report on their duties.

If they are not seen for a long time, it will attract attention and be investigated. A simple autopsy will reveal the unusual cause of death of the two.

Kasper didn't want others to know that there were two highly intelligent non-human beings in this area.

Perhaps their leader would immediately fly into a rage and order a search of the entire area, or perhaps the cavalry would underestimate him and Simba because they were not monsters and would not pursue the matter further.

Based on the current situation, it's more likely that the matter will not be pursued further.

However, Kasper disliked handing over decision-making power to others, believing that stability depended entirely on the thoughts of others, which he considered too frivolous and passive.

"Simba and I can't take the bodies away, so we have to at least disfigure them so that people can't easily determine the cause of death."

Both soldiers were still fully armored, but not wearing helmets, so the best course of action was to find a rock and throw it from a height to smash their heads and necks.

Thinking of this, Casper raised his head and observed the surrounding terrain.

Because Scarface was retreating and running away, there were trees behind where he died, so he only needed to move his position slightly.

The same method can be used to make another small mustache.

However, such behavior seems to be an attempt to cover up the truth.

Indeed, the scene should have been disguised as an attack by an ordinary wild animal.

But this is a huge project, and one night is not enough time. We must start now.

Just as Casper was about to call Simba to come and help, he saw the latter emerge from the bushes and cautiously come to his side.

"My lord, there is another human over there, heading this way. Should we engage him in battle?"

Simba's ears twitched slightly, clearly listening intently to any sounds coming from the human.

"No, we retreat."

Kasper quickly climbed onto Simba's back and spurred it to run deeper into the forest.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

He hadn't expected the search party for the missing soldier to arrive so quickly, and he had to abandon the task of disposing of the body.

While riding on the wolves' backs, Casper glanced back and indeed spotted a dark figure swaying as it approached the direction where he and Simba had been.

……

"I...I'm not dead."

Raymond struggled to tear open the sack and broke free.

The slightly chilly night air, combined with the joy of surviving the ordeal, filled Raymond's lungs, bringing tears to his eyes.

A few hours earlier, Scarface and Beard had carelessly tossed him to the ground, and the pain gradually roused Raymond from his unconscious state.

In his hazy state of consciousness, he heard the two talking.

Raymond himself never imagined that his impulsive actions would lead to his death.

He was filled with shock and anger, but he forcibly suppressed his surging emotions.

Raymond was confident he could break free from the sack, but it would take a considerable amount of time, and if he were discovered by Scarface Simon and Jeremy the Beard along the way, he would be in for a lot of trouble.

During the two men's first departure, Raymond managed to tear a small opening in the sack, but they returned so quickly that he had to lie low again and wait for a second chance.

Perhaps it was luck that Raymond got a second chance. Jeremy left first and didn't return for a long time, and then Simon followed him away.

He seized this second opportunity and completely broke free from his constraints.

Raymond was not moved for long. He immediately got up, looked around, and soon found a longsword next to the campfire.

He quickly stepped forward and picked up the longsword.

Without a doubt, this is Jeremy's sword.

This guy has extremely poor tactical skills and doesn't care about the maintenance of his weapons. He doesn't even know how to wipe or sharpen them, which is why his sword isn't sharp enough.

Nowadays, he has even thrown his sword aside.

However, thanks to this, he now has a little bit of ability to protect himself.

Raymond's heavy armor was stripped off by the two men while he was unconscious, leaving him only in his clothes. If he didn't even have a weapon, he would truly be a lamb to the slaughter.

He carefully surveyed the surrounding area in case the two suddenly returned.

Raymond's steps were light and quick, and there was no confusion in his eyes.

He knew very well that if he tried to run away, the two of them would definitely notice.

How can a human's legs outrun a warhorse?

Therefore, his first task was to ambush the two men, incapacitate them, and then seize their warhorses to escape.

Having made up his mind, Raymond explored the surrounding area little by little, but at a certain point, he suddenly stopped.

"This... is impossible..."

Simon lay dead on the ground in front of Raymond, his eyes wide open.

Simon is dead.

Jeremy must also...

With this in mind, Raymond first swapped his longsword with Simon's, and then looked around with Simon's body as the center, and sure enough, he found Jeremy's body by the river.

The latter was bleeding from his mouth and nose, his throat was a bloody mess, and his head was limply turned to one side, a gruesome death.

Raymond remained silent upon seeing this.

While trapped in the sack, Raymond had imagined more than once how he would deal with those two damned guys after breaking free, but when he actually saw the corpses, he felt little satisfaction.

He returned to Simon's body and noticed the bite marks on the latter's neck.

"Like snake fang marks."

Can venomous snakes attack a human's throat?

Raymond didn't know, but without a doubt, the two dying at the hands of the venomous fangs was the best outcome for him.

He stripped Simon of his armor and put it on himself, then climbed a nearby tree to confirm the direction of the village.

There were no warhorses nearby, so they may have temporarily stored them in the village. If they turn back now, they can get a means of transportation.

Going to Broken Blade Town would be like walking into a trap; once Finn discovers it, he will definitely attack him again.

Raymond recalled the brief encounter in the village, where his opponent effortlessly knocked his sword away, demonstrating superb combat skills and a martial prowess far surpassing his own.

But he couldn't run away either, because if he did, Simon and Jeremy's deaths would definitely be blamed on him.

Perhaps he could go to places within the duchy, places beyond the reach of the Theodora family.
