He walked for some distance before seeing some lights. His Dragon's Eye passive ability allowed him to see farther and also clearer in the night. He could see some structures ahead. It looked like a small wooden fortress, which was constructed between a small rocky mountain and a forested hill. The lights he saw came from Outlaws patrolling around the fortress holding torches. The numbers were alarming.

"That is a bandit outpost," Peniel explained to him after seeing it as well. She had come out from her hidden dimension to take a better look at the structure.

"Bandit outpost?"

"Remember the monster settlement? This is sort of the same. The difference is that an outpost is populated by Outlaws instead of monsters. Another difference is that an outpost did not spring up randomly. There is normally only one in each region, and they will grow in size as time passed. From the look of it, this is a small-sized one that is closed to become a normal size outpost."
