"Who are you people?"
Looking at the young man and woman in front of him, the scarred man's heart was on high alert.
Only a fool would dare to take the initiative to show himself when there were nine of them here. Otherwise, he would have sufficient confidence.
Although the two of them were wearing very ordinary clothes made of coarse cloth, the fact that they could follow them all the way here already showed that they were not simple people.
"The people who will kill you."
Gray's face was cold, his eyes cold.
Selling humans as livestock was simply inhumane. They could no longer be called humans.
Of course, what angered Gray the most was that these young girls who were being sold as livestock were from the Fergus family's territory.
To a noble family, the population of the territory was equivalent to their private property. These people abducting and selling young girls from the Fergus family's territory was an infringement on the Fergus family's interests.
Otherwise, even if he knew that mercenaries who trafficked in human beings were roaming around somewhere, he would not be so kind as to find these mercenaries and kill them.
After all, that was someone else's territory and had nothing to do with him. If he encountered them, he could just kill them, but he did not have the energy to deliberately spend time looking for them.
There were too many bad people in this world. He did not have the time to deal with them one by one.
"Kill us?
With just you two little kids? "
A rather muscular man with a face full of contempt pulled out a machete and pounced towards Gray and the girl.
"I'll do it, I'll do it."
Seeing the muscular man pouncing towards them, Sarah's eyes lit up. She pulled out the sword at her waist and went up to meet him.
She was full of resentment towards these "human traffickers". Not only did they cause her to get up early, but the most despicable thing was that the traffickers were young girls around her age.
Clang!
With a sweep of her sword, she had already blocked the aggressive saber of the burly man. She had even forced the burly man to take a few steps back.
"Low-rank Blood Warrior, this young girl is a low-rank Blood Warrior!"
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed.
Although the muscular man's strength was not yet that of a low-rank Blood Warrior, he was close.
This young girl was able to block his attack and make the muscular man suffer a little. Her strength had definitely reached that of a low-rank Blood Warrior.
To have the strength of a low-level Blood Warrior at such a young age, this girl was most likely from a noble family.
The expression on his face kept changing. In the end, it turned into a ruthless look as he gritted his teeth and said.
"Go."
The consequences of attacking the nobles were severe, but they had been discovered to be trafficking young girls, so the consequences were equally severe.
If he could make these two nobles stay and take the opportunity to escape, he might have a chance to survive.
The other seven men had obviously sensed that something was amiss. Upon hearing his command, they drew their weapons one after another. Three of them surrounded Sarah, while the other four surrounded Gray.
Gray sneered and stepped in front of the three people who were about to besiege Sarah.
When one of them saw Gray blocking their way, he raised his axe and swung it at Gray.
The huge axe heavily chopped down, and the falling axe brought with it a strong gust of wind.
He was one of the two Low-level Blood Warriors among them.
Puff!
But before his axe could chop down, a blue sword had already slashed across his throat.
His downward chopping motion paused. His eyes were filled with shock, and he fell to the ground lifelessly.
The strength of a low-rank Blood Warrior was no different from an ordinary person in front of Gray now.
"Barry."
Seeing that their companion with the strength of a low-rank Blood Warrior had been killed so easily, the other two men's expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly swung the weapons in their hands at Gray.
Gray took a small step back and dodged the two men's weapons. Then, he took a step forward, and the sword in his hand slashed out horizontally.
Puff, puff!
The two men were about the same height. The blue sword first slashed across the throat of one of the men, and then the throat of the other man.
The two men maintained a terrified expression on their faces. Their bodies went limp and fell to the ground.
"How … could this be?"
The four men who had rushed toward Gray saw that Gray was shielding Sarah, so they also rushed toward him.
But halfway there, they saw that their three companions in front of them had been killed by Gray as if they were vegetables.
A deep chill struck the four men's hearts.
There was a low-rank Blood Warrior among the three of them, but he was killed so easily.
What kind of strength was this?
Could he be a middle-rank Blood Warrior like their captain?
Smack!
The four men stopped in their actions, but Gray did not. He took a step forward and quickly came in front of the four men, thrusting his sword straight out.
Puff!
The man closest to Gray had his heart pierced right through.
The sword was pulled out, and blood gushed out like a fountain. The man fell with a plop.
The other three men finally reacted. They hurriedly swung their weapons at Gray.
The three weapons attacked Gray together.
Bang!
Gray bent back slightly, dodging the three men's weapons. Then, he kicked out, instantly landing a kick on the man in the middle.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking rang out. The man flew backward like a cannonball.
He hit the rock wall and fell to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, even his internal organs. It was obvious that he would not survive.
Gray retracted his foot and raised his sword, sweeping it at a valiant man holding a sword.
This man should have the strength of a low-rank Blood Warrior. His reaction speed was obviously faster than the other man's. After Gray bent to avoid the attack, he had already taken a step forward, ready to attack Gray.
At this moment.
Behind Gray, a dagger stabbed at Gray's back. The attacker was the middle-aged man.
His attack was quite swift, much faster than the others. The strength of a middle-rank Blood Warrior was unmistakable.
Puff!
Gray suddenly turned around, his long sword sweeping out.
A blue light flashed. The middle-aged man's right hand, which was holding the dagger, was suddenly cut off at the wrist. Blood gushed out wildly.
Then, a leg swept the middle-aged man's waist like a whirlwind. The middle-aged man was directly swept away, slamming hard into the rock wall.
At this moment, the sword in the valiant man's hand was about to pierce Gray's body.
"Brother, watch out!"
Sarah, who was suppressing the brawny man with the strength of a low-rank Blood Warrior, saw the sword coming from behind Gray and immediately warned him in shock.
In response, Gray just turned around, his long sword sweeping out.
Puff!
The valiant man who swung his sword at Gray was cut in half at the waist. Blood spurted out wildly as he fell down.
The last man among the four held an axe above his head. His whole body was trembling, not knowing whether to strike or not.
The strength of the person in front of him was so strong that it made him despair. Even the leader could not block a single strike from him.
Puff!
Against this man, Gray did not hold back at all. He directly stabbed out, piercing the man's heart.
"Don't be distracted."
With no more opponents left standing, Gray looked in the direction of Sarah.
He could not help but remind her when he saw that the little girl was almost injured because she had warned him earlier.
However, Sarah was a low-rank Blood Warrior after all. Her strength was stronger than the brawny man, and she slowly gained the upper hand again.
Seeing that she had gained the upper hand, Gray turned his gaze in the direction of the rock wall.
There, the middle-aged man was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He struggled to stand up, but he failed several times.
Gray walked over, his gaze cold as he looked at the man.
Judging from the attitude of these people towards the middle-aged man just now, this man should be the leader.
The strength of a middle-rank Blood Warrior was stronger than the others. This also showed that this man was the strongest among them.
However, he was only a middle-rank Blood Warrior. If he really wanted to kill him, he naturally would not let him live.
The reason why he did not kill him immediately was because he still had something to ask.
"There should be a total of eleven girls who were kidnapped by you. Where are the other two girls?"
Gray asked coldly.
According to the Fergus family's statistics, there were eleven girls who had gone missing in the past ten days, including the one who was captured today. However, there were only nine of them here. This was also the reason why he had spared their lives for the time being.
The middle-aged man's right arm was broken, and his ribs were injured by Gray's kick. At this moment, not only was his body covered in blood, but there was also blood at the corner of his mouth. He was extremely miserable.
Hearing Gray's question, he raised his head with difficulty and said.
"Let me go, and I'll tell you where they are …"
"You have no right to negotiate with me."
Gray sneered, walked forward, and stomped on the man's left foot.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking was heard. A small section of the man's left leg bone was crushed by Gray's stomp.
"If you don't talk, I don't mind crushing all the bones in your body."
As he spoke, Gray's foot once again stomped on the man's undamaged leg.
"Unless you … Ah, I … I'll talk."
The middle-aged man's forehead was covered in cold sweat from the bone-piercing pain. He felt that Gray was not joking, so he quickly spoke.
"The Macintosh family. Someone from the Macintosh family came yesterday, and I sold them to the Macintosh family."
"The Macintosh family?"
Hearing this family, Gray raised his eyebrows. He naturally knew about the Macintosh family, and he even had some dealings with this family.
Last time, the Yvelines family asked for his help because they were fighting over the iron mine. The Macintosh family was the one fighting over the iron mine with the Yvelines family.
He originally thought that he would not have any dealings with this family, but he did not expect to meet them again.
After thinking about it, Gray did not kill the man immediately. After all, he was not sure if the man was lying.
He looked in the direction of Sarah. He saw that Sarah had already killed the man, and her face was very pale as she retched.
It was not the first time she saw a dead person, but it was the first time she killed someone. The two were obviously not the same.
Gray walked over, patted her back, and said gently.
"Go outside and get some fresh air!"
Unlike Viscount Fergus, who did not intend to let the girl experience actual combat, Gray wanted to let Sarah have some actual combat experience. He did not expect her to go to the battlefield in the future, but he wanted her to at least have the ability to protect herself at a critical moment.
After Sarah left, Gray cut the ropes that tied the nine girls and looked at the nine girls who were pale from seeing the dead man.
"Okay, you are free!"
