A dozen desperate bandits ambush the Scum Kings in a forest defile, mistaking exhausted men pulling a wagon for easy prey. They learn too late that beasts of burden are dangerously strong. What follows isn't a battle—it's pest control, executed with the cold efficiency of men who've just slaughtered the Stern Guard. When four survivors beg for mercy, they're given something far worse: a lesson that Gix will carve into their flesh, a story meant to spread through the forest like wildfire.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?
