Hearing these three announcements, Mike looked at Anderson with a puzzled gaze.

This glance made Anderson's entire body tremble.

At this moment, he felt a little guilty.

'Can it be that God Slayer found out about the curse?

'It shouldn't be!

'He hasn't even robbed the money yet. How can he have known about it so quickly?'

Just as his thoughts were running wild, Mike spoke.

"Do you know about the Bandit Alliance?"

"Bandit Alliance?"Anderson was slightly stunned.

This question came unexpectedly, so he could not react in time.

Moreover, this was the first time he had heard of the term Bandit Alliance.

After a short moment of shock, Anderson gave an answer.

"I'm sorry, leader, I've never heard of the Bandit Alliance."

Mike narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized the bearded bandit in front of him.

Although Anderson felt uncomfortable from being stared at, Mike could tell that he really did not know about the Bandit Alliance.

Mike looked at the other bandits,

The bandits looked at each other with a puzzled expression, then shook their heads one after another.

"We don't know anything about the Bandit Alliance either."

"I've never heard of it."

"How can bandits be organized? This doesn't make sense."

These reactions were rather normal.

Since they did not know, Mike did not ask any more questions.

He had originally planned to say something, but he had forgotten about it. He sat back down and started thinking about the Bandit Alliance again.

After all, he had played Second World for 30 years in his previous life. Perhaps he had once received news related to it.

If he could recall anything, it would be much easier to handle the situation.

..

At this moment, the City of Light was already bustling with people.

All the players had gathered in front of the palace. Their eyes were filled with anticipation as they looked at the king on the steps.

The king, on the other hand, was looking at the group of adventurers in front of him with a solemn expression.

"Warriors, it's time for you to make a contribution to the human race.

"I just received news that the core gang of the Bandit Alliance, the Fire Blade Gang, has reappeared on this continent.

"In order to protect our homeland and prevent the people from being invaded by bandits, we must go and eliminate these villains.

"In this expedition, I will personally lead 10,000 of the bravest royal guards to battle. All the adventurers and warriors can go together. Those who make a contribution will be rewarded handsomely!"

Hearing this, all the players could not help but look at the 10,000 solemn-looking soldiers behind the king.

These were NPCs.

They did not expect that the NPCs would actually bring them to play in the version event. It was simply exhilarating.

That was right, the players treated the announcement triggered by Mike as a version event.

After all, in everyone's eyes, this was a game. Whenever something big happened in Second World, it would be considered a version event.

The players were very happy, but the king's mood was very heavy.

Many years ago, the Bandit Alliance was like cancer on the continent.

They did all kinds of evil!

They burned, killed, and tortured!

They were like locusts. Wherever they went, that place would be turned into ruins.

Moreover, the core gang of the Bandit Alliance, the Fire Blade Bandits.

They were once extremely powerful. Even the armies of many small nations were unable to resist them.

However, from a certain day many years ago, the Fire Blade Gang had gone into hiding and disappeared.

Because of the disappearance of the core gang, the affiliated gangs of the Bandit Alliance had to go into hiding.

Without the Fire Blade Gang, those gangs were not worth being afraid of.

It was because of this that the continent became slightly more peaceful.

No one knew where they were hiding, but the vigilance of the royal family had never disappeared.

Therefore, the king decided to lead the army and adventurers to march together today, in order to completely annihilate the Bandit Alliance!

So that they would never appear again!

Thinking of this, the king could not help but sigh in his heart.

If only God Slayer was in the City of Light, then this battle could be easily won.

After all, it was the God Slayer!

As the Commander of the Adventurer Legion, it was perfectly reasonable to ask God Slayer to lead his Adventurer Legion to participate in the battle.

When the time came, a reward would be enough.

However, now?

God Slayer's whereabouts were unknown.

Adventurers were like that. Their whereabouts were unpredictable. You could never know where they would be and what they would be doing now.

"Hopefully, he will receive the news before the war starts and rush over to join the war," the king muttered to himself.

Then, he braced himself and said loudly,

"All troops, set off for Pavaro Forest!!!"

..

On the other side, the stronghold of the Fire Blade Gang was also packed with people.

"The Lightning Gang is here to meet the alliance!"

"The Wild Wolf Gang is here to meet the alliance!"

"The Frost Gang is here to meet the alliance!"

The leaders of the bandit gangs shouted loudly. Behind them were countless of their subordinates.

Looking at the scene in front of them, all the members of the Fire Blade Gang were dumbfounded.

At first, they thought that these people were here to attack them, they definitely were not expecting them to have a friendly attitude.

They were even a little... excited.

That was right, it was the kind of excitement... of meeting a legendary big shot.

All of this made the members of the Fire Blade Gang feel very magical, surreal.

However, they really did happen.

At this moment, Mike was standing in front of the mountain stronghold, sizing up these bandits in front of him.

"You... What are you here for?"

Mike decided to ask directly.

Upon hearing this, the bandits immediately answered.

Though as bandits, how could they answer in an orderly manner?

They were all saying their own things. All the answers were mixed together, so no one could hear a single word clearly. The whole scene was chaotic.

Mike rubbed his ears and shouted,

"Quiet, answer them one by one! Let's start with you."

He pointed at a bald, brawny man.

The brawny man coughed and raised his hand.

"We've received news that the Fire Blade Gang have reappeared on the continent. Moreover, the king seems to be sending an army to attack the Fire Blade Gang.

"Although I've only taken over the Wild Wolf Gang for a year, the previous leader made it very clear that if it weren't for the Fire Blade Gang, our Bandit Alliance wouldn't be so powerful.

"Now that the king wants to send people to attack the boss of our Bandit Alliance, our bandit groups naturally have to come over and help!"

This sentence immediately attracted the approval of everyone, then cheers resounded throughout the entire mountain stronghold.

Mike frowned slightly.

This sentence contained a lot of information.

He needed to figure it out bit by bit.

So, he asked again,

"You just said... that you received the news?

"Who told you that the Fire Blade Gang had reappeared on the continent?"

The shirtless bald man was slightly stunned and scratched his head.

"I'm not too sure, but I did receive the news."

Hearing this, Mike understood.

It seemed that the version event had been triggered.
