“There’s a village past this roup there so don’t hesitate and just follow me” Gabel took his horse and started toaround carefully “Hurry, we’ll never knohen the goblins will try and ambush us”
Max hunched her shoulders, then looked around at the tall trees and large rocks with frightened eyes The possibility of ave her chills
Garrow stood protectively near her and asked Gabel “Were they the ones who triggered the landslide?”
“Possibly, this is probably how they deal with huge roups from mountain tops There may be more traps ahead, so keep an eye out on the terrains”
Gabel said as he ju their path Max scrahts and landed on the other side with a thud Her wrist throbbed and every ht?”
“I’m f-fine” Max answered out of habit, but she was not fine at all
Gabel watched meticulously her condition, then looked at the dark mountain path that was covered by the shadow of the trees His lips tightened to a line “I don’t think we can’t take a rest right now Please hang in there for a little longer until we can find a safe place”
Max held an arhts All the knights had their swords drawn as they vigilantly passed through the trees in a hurry
“Will the goblins coet carried away by the landslide, they are roup with fewer nuive up so easily after setting up all that trap” One of the knights muttered sourly as he ducked under a branch “If they coet rid of thes…”
“You should not underestiet it after what happened? Theythe sub-racial y If they attack in hordes that number, it will be troublesoerous traps and attack strategically If they e just like they did, we’ll be in big trouble”
Gabel explained as he led the knights through the dense trees Max wiped the sweat dripping froazed up at the sky where birds were flapping their wings loudly
The intense and dizzying rays of the sun froht, but the sun setwhen the surroundings would grow dark Her legs treiven how dangerous the environment was, so Max desperately moved forward
“When the road flattens out, we’ll travel on horseback Please hold out just a little while longer” Gabel co behind, and led the party cautiously
Eventually, the steep, rocky incline became noticeably flat and ss for a considerable anal that it was safe to take a break for a while Max collapsed on the ground and exhaled deeply Yulysion came to her with an open canteen of water and handed it to her
“This is sugar and salt Take it ater It will help replenish your energy”
She sed the round candy-like ball and chased it doater Half the water dripped down her chin and spilled to her clothes but she eating sothe difference anyan to chew on the dried herb roots she pulled from a pouch tied to her waist She had to quickly replenish her mana
“We will travel on horseback from here on I think the horses are very tired too, but they should be able to bear this level of incline Can you ride horseback?”
Max nodded She slowly caly returned to some extent, she climbed up the saddle with the help of the apprentices So down They traveled in silence along quiet hts all rode with one hand on the hilt of their swords as they kept up their vigilance Max also glanced behind the lush bushes and trees, in fear that a monster could suddenly pop out anyti was peeking through the thick tree trunks In the tense of the naling for the with the knights As she leaned forward to keep frooblins fiercely chasing the them from behind
“M’lady! Keep your eyes ahead! There are a lot of obstructions”
Garroarned her loudly Max turned around and drove Re and buzzed in her ears She was nervously spurring her horse to keep up with the group, when suddenly so fell from the trees She was so out of breath that even a screaripped the reins tightly as Re to shake off the goblin that was holding on to its head Max desperately clung to Re Reallop frantically and turned to rush down the mountain
She tried to pull the reins to so on with all its htlessly created a fist-sized flaoblin screamed in pain and fell off the horse’s head Reraceful legs trae, disproportionate head
Max squeezed her eyes shut as Re it co his head as if he was exhausted She clung to the back of her horse as tears streaht mind; it was as if she had been swept away by a storhts, she looked around, everything was dead calh speed that they seeone apart from the party in an instant Max held her breath for a hts to find her
