  In the dark forest, it was exceptionally eerie. At this time, dozens of girls in hunting attire holding bows and arrows suddenly appeared from the dense thicket. They were all young, some even just children, with arrows on the string, sharp arrowheads pointing directly at the three of them.

  "Don't move, put your hands up!" Then a faint cry came, with a slightly childish tone.

  Raine, Rus, and Dakore stared at each other in dismay, let out a sigh, and slowly raised their hands. And just like that, the three Imperial soldiers became prisoners of these girls.

  "Are you soldiers of the Kastor Empire?" One of the older golden-haired girls gazed at the three of them, sizing up their bound bodies from head to toe, interrogating.

  "Hmph!" The three of them responded disdainfully, their eyes filled with anger and resentment.

  "Hmph, don't say it's so, then let's treat you as bandits? Sisters, do you know what to do?" The golden girl held the spoils of war - a black lacquered military sword, and was about to give orders to the girls holding bows and arrows behind her. If dozens of arrows were shot over, their outcome would be tragic.

  "Little girl, we're all wearing the Empire's soldier uniforms, what else could we be? Of course, we're Empire soldiers!" Dako shouted with a sideways glance at the golden-haired girl, his face red and neck thick from struggling against the ropes, occasionally yelling out.

  "Oh, if we wear the uniforms of Imperial soldiers, then aren't we also Imperial soldiers?" she retorted.

  "Little sister, if we told you that we are Imperial soldiers, would you let us go?" At this time, Rain raised his head and looked at the little girl in front of him, smiling.

  "What?" She thought for half a day and didn't speak again.

  "Heh heh, if you can prove that you are Imperial soldiers, we will of course let you go!" The golden girl said with a smile after being stunned for half a day, her black military knife pointing at Rain, then at Russ and Dakot.

  "Take a look at the soldier's waist badge on both of them, and then take a look at the branding on our three wrists. You'll know who we are!" Reyn said helplessly. He couldn't just die unknowingly at the hands of these little girls, after all. To prove their identity as imperial soldiers, they had to humble themselves like this.

  The girls' bows and arrows remained trained on them, ready to shoot at any moment. Once they had confirmed their identities, the girls...

  "Are you really soldiers of the Kaisar Empire? That's great, are you here to suppress bandits?"

  "You..."

  “……”

  The girls put away their bows and arrows, ran over quickly, surrounded them, entwined themselves around them, and began to ask questions in a cacophony of voices.

  At this time, Laine and others also regained their freedom, awkwardly taking over the military knife, with a red face, lowering their head, not knowing how to answer.

  As an imperial soldier, he was actually captured by these little girls. If there were any cracks in the ground, they would really want to crawl into them.

  Among them, Rus raised his head and stared tightly at Dakota, as if it was because of his stinky mouth that such beautiful girls came, and they were even holding bows and arrows 'hunting' girls.

  Feeling Russ's gaze, Dakota slowly raised her head, her innocent eyes looking at Russ, then at Rain, extremely wronged.

  "Quiet!" It was the golden girl from just now, she waved her hand and the chirping voices stopped instantly, the scene returned to calmness, leaving only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.

  "Hello, I'm Sally. There are often bandits lurking around our village, so please forgive us if we've offended you in any way." She said sincerely, it seems that the soldiers of the Kastel Empire were still very welcome here.

  "Oh!" Ren and the other two looked even more embarrassed, just nodding symbolically.

  "Hmph, Dakota, it's all your fault. If you hadn't taken a sudden break, would we have been so careless? Hmph!" At this point, Rus glared at Dakota, finally finding an excuse to temporarily avoid the topic of Sally.

  "Rus, I'm really too tired. If I had known it would be like this, I'd rather lie down on the grass at the foot of the mountain and count stars! Hmph!" Dako said with a huff, turning his head away and ignoring Rus.

  These girls watched them two quarrel and secretly laughed, the atmosphere on the scene became lively.

  Suddenly, rapid footsteps came from the foot of the mountain.

  "There's a situation, sisters get ready to 'hunt'! Be on guard!" Sally said in a low voice, then waved her right hand and directed the action with very familiar movements.

  These girls are quick in movement and agile in action. In an instant, they hide themselves in bushes, trees, and other places where their figures can be seen.

  Lain and the other two hid behind a giant rock, holding military knives, ready for battle.

  "Captain Rennes!"

  "Rush, Dakota!"

  “……”

  With the sound of hurried footsteps, there came shouting. Could it be those soldiers from the foot of the mountain?

  Laine and others quickly ran out from behind the rocks, responding loudly. At this time, Sally and others also lifted their alert status.

  A dozen or so soldiers, following the mountain path formed by the thorny bushes cut down by their swords, arrived here in a flustered manner. When they saw the girls beside Captain Laine, they were all shocked.

  "Captain, they...they are..." one of the soldiers asked in confusion, his mouth agape for half a day.

  "They are villagers from nearby, we, we just met, Casa, didn't they leave the robbers' trail?" Rayn explained and then asked quickly, with a worried expression.

  When those girls found out that Lain's identity was actually the captain, they all looked at him with complex expressions, and some were even secretly laughing.

  "Captain, we caught two robbers while on patrol. Please go back and interrogate them personally!" Kasa said, emphasizing the word "personally".

  "Oh, okay, let's go!" Ren nodded.

  "Sally, sister, we're going back. If your village needs help at any time, you can come to the border town to find me. Remember my name, I am Rain Green!" Then Rain said goodbye to Sally and led the soldiers away in a hurry.

  "Raine... Green? Such a familiar name, how could I forget it for a moment?" Sally said to herself, watching Raine and the others walk away.

  "Sister, isn't Rain Green just that one lifetime private of the Empire? Remember now!" One little girl explained.

  "Oh! Ah?" Sally exclaimed in great surprise.
