"Great job! You've managed to put those dastardly delinquents on the run. The combined might of your units has crushed most of their roaming forces, but they're fleeing deeper into the forest. We have reason to believe that they have a secret lair inside the woods, and that's where they keep their loot.

Pursue them, draw them out of their lair, and recover the loot. Forewarned, criminals this successful probably have a cunning plan!"

Bandit's Lair is the seventeenth level in Kingdom Rush, unlocked by beating Hushwood. On the Flash version, it requires the Premium Content. It's the first level in the Kingdom Rush series with two exits for enemies.

Notes

• Since the Kingpin takes a direct route through the level, the area of grass he crosses is considered a path, despite it not appearing as such. It is possible to place soldier units onto the area, where they are untouchable by enemies without ranged attacks.
