Chapter 56 - Night Attack? (1/2)
It was in the middle of the night, and everyone was sleeping, but it was not a peaceful sleep for a long time, after about 2 hours after I and the girls went to sleep something strange happened and a movement near the camp.
”Hey, wake up.” The one who called was Eleonor, who was still on guard, and it was not time to change guards, so she was still on guard by now.
She called down and waved us all to wake up, everyone was sleepy, but we woke up quickly because we knew something serious was happening since she called us in the middle of the night like that.
The trader who saw this also woke up, but he was hiding inside the carriage along with the coachman, they were hiding in the front of the carriage, they did well to stay hidden since there was not much they could do here.
”What is happening?” It was Cibely who asked.
We came out that something was going on. Otherwise, she wouldn't wake us up in the middle of the night. We knew something was going on, but we had no idea what it could be, could be a monster attack or a bandit attack.
It could just be a false alarm too, but I don't think Eleonor, who is an adventurer for years, would make such a mistake.
”Looks like people are coming, hide.” She didn't even explain exactly what was happening. She just asked us to hide inside the carriage; in fact, I hid inside the carriage with Cibely, and Eleonor and Clevina were outside.
They hid behind the carriage so that they could not be seen directly by the people coming, or maybe they were monsters, I couldn't say what they are even with my search magic.
'I need to perfect this soon.' I need to perfect this magic for her to recognize the race or even show who is coming if I do that, I would never be caught off guard by a powerful monster.
After we spent a few hidden minutes, we started listening to many footsteps. It wasn't that much. It seemed like the footsteps of 7 people at most, well, to me, that's not a lot of people.
”Kill all the people who are here and steal everything if they are women catch them alive.” A man's voice rang out in the darkness as he approached the carriage.
'Did they say something like that near me?' They just spoke the forbidden words I never liked to hear ”****” he didn't talk directly, but surely that is what he meant, I wouldn't let him get out of here alive after saying something like that.
I tried to get out of the carriage to get it over with quickly, and if I threw a bullet at each of their heads, there would be no one left alive. They will die instantly and be less bad people in this world.
”Where you think you are going, you cannot.” I tried to leave but was stopped by Cibely, and I just remembered that she doesn't know that I have much strength, that's the only wrong side of hiding my power.
But if something happens here, I would no longer hide my strength, and I will kill them instantly. For me, if the person deserves to die, I will destroy and not care; I think about it.

The men started to approach the carriage very slowly, and it seems that they were scared of who might be in there, or maybe they act like this because they always have to keep guard not to be surprised.
