CH681 Bandit Becometh the Raided I
***
The next day…
After a string of successful raids on Lost Heathen bases, outposts, and caravans, Alex and the Fortuna company finally enjoyed a full night of uninterrupted rest.
The irony was not lost on Alex.
His company had effectively become a band of raiders—preying upon the Lost Heathens, who were themselves a notorious bandit group.
It was no accident.
It was simply Alex's—arguably twisted—method of retaliation.
Beat them at their own game.
While the Lost Heathens across the Wildlands likely spent the night in fear and sleepless vigilance, the Fortuna company rested soundly.
As dawn broke and the group prepared their morning meal, many cast subtle glances towards the young man who had led them from one decisive victory to the next.
At this point, they were more eager to fight under his command than he was to lead them into battle.
Alex noticed the looks and could only offer a wry smile in response.
