Deep into the Forest - Part 2

The group of eleven were clad in semi-leather and metal armor, walking along with swords, machetes or bows in their hands.

Two of them were also carrying sacks on their shoulders each.

Alex quickly found out that two women had been stuffed into those sacks, having their hands and mouth tightly bound with a rope so that they cannot move around or make noise in the middle of the forest.

The clothes on the bodies of the two women suggested that they were also mercenaries or hunters who had come to the forest for hunting demon beast or foraging for spirit herbs. 

Seeing this, Alex's expression turned solemn. For the past few days after he had become the ruler of this island, his puppets had extensively carried out his orders to stop activities that he deems illegal. First, he abolished the slave trade on his island.

The merchants or families that had kept slaves before in their house, was told to free them or they will face punishment.
