Chapter 31 Bandits Ambush

Author: M_W Cancer

Leo didn't notice Cassandra's face turning red as he suddenly felt that something was wrong at the merchant caravans front.

*Crrrrg!

The guards wagon suddenly stopped which caused the people inside to be pushed in front. Leo went to pull Cassandra to his side as he became vigilant.

”Bandit attack!” Claude who looked at the situation outside the guards wagon suddenly yelled out, which immediately warn everyone inside about the current situation outside.

”Stay here if you don't want to die!” David reminded Leo before getting out of the wagon.

”Don't mind him. If you really want to help, you can go outside but please don't cause any trouble!” Hannah said to Leo and Cassandra in a courteous way compare to David.

Leo just nodded his head, not minding at all what they wanted to convey to him. He hurriedly got out of the wagon along with Cassandra to check out the situation himself.

Outside, the soldiers and mercenary hired by Sword and Magic were currently fighting against the attacking bandits. While the Mages such as Claude, Hannah, David, and the other two were fighting against the Mages of the bandits.

The soldiers and mercenary were at a disadvantage in numbers despite Ban helping them at the forefront. Looking closely, He was just obviously putting up an act of help which then made his help really useless.

Dandelion was a healer and a support so she wasn't able to cast any powerful attacking spell. Though, she was still casting consecutive healing spells she knew about to the wounded soldiers and mercenary, which really helped them continue fighting.

Claude, Hannah, and David was also at a disadvantage in numbers. They horribly discovered that their were actually more Mages from the Bandits side at this moment.

Cassandra really wanted to help them, but she was unable to do anything because she didn't even knew yet how to cast a spell.

Realizing that they will surely lose if the situation continues, Leo immediately went to grab his bow on his back, as he shoot out an arrow that lets out a smoke towards the Bandit Mages.

”Why did you shoot that kind of arrow!” David was enraged immediately as soon as the smoke covered the area of the Bandit Mages. He was already not in the mood since they were losing despite doing all their best, but now someone had actually did something to worsen the situation.

Moreover, David was also pissed because he could see clearly that Ban was just half-assed protecting the soldiers and mercenaries.

”Stop your argument and go help those soldiers while the smoke is still blocking their way!” Contrary to David's opinion, Claude was clear minded as he immediately realized what Leo was aiming for.

Unlike David who had underestimated Leo all this time, Claude on the other hand was told by Lady Angel that he doesn't have to worry about anything that the latter does. She also reminded him to just trust the latter, and don't ask any questions on any of the latter's actions.

”Ah, so this is what Angel meant...” Claude whispered silently to himself before he quitely gave Leo a thumbs up as he then casted a spell towards those ordinary bandits at the forefront.

Leo nodded his head in response to Claude's thumbs up. He felt relieve knowing that not everyone in the group were stupid and hot headed like David.

With Leo's smoke screen, it wasn't only their side who can't see the target but also those Mages from the bandit side. Although, their were still spells flying around from time to time, it was still a lot safer compare to before since they could see where it would likely to land and hence easily dodge it.

At this moment, the Sword and Magic merchant caravan were now at the advantage since the ordinary bandits were unable to receive help anymore from their comrade Mages due to being in the opposite side of the smoke.

Although, the Bandit Mages still knew about where the general location of the ordinary bandits, but still they were unable to provide support because of the thought that they might hit their fellow bandits unknowingly.

However, without anyone noticing, just after the attention of Cassandea, Claude, Hannah, David and the others was drawn towards the ordinary Bandits. Leo suddenly launched himself towards the smoke.

It was too late when the others realized because Leo was already inside the smoke. Cassandra was also unable to stop him since she was also focusing her attention towards the ordinary Bandits.
