Chapter 300 - Crisis (2) (1/2)

Several members were confused by this immediate departure. However, they didn't dare to ask.

With sleepy faces, all of them continue their journey. Three good carts were lined up properly. However, there were fewer guards beside them since some of them were killed.

Half an hour after their departure, they arrived at a path inside a shady forest. They could only saw the pathway in front of them. When they saw to their left and right, there were only trees. Semial stopped the convoy and shouted, ”Prepare for battle!”

The others were confused with the command. However, they didn't dare to neglect the command. A few seconds later, some of the members began to aware of the enemies' presence and tightened up their grip. And, Auron was one of them.

The team's leader began to give several commands. Auron also tried to provide some command to his members. However, none of them followed Auron's commands. So, he stopped giving commands and just wait.

After another minute, the convoy's members still didn't see the attackers yet, but they had already sensed the enemies' presence.

Another minute passed, the enemies still didn't make any move. This situation gave a lot of pressure to the members. They started to grow impatient with this long waiting.

Semial also knew about this. He had to make the first move. However, before he could make the first move, a [Fire Bolt] had already launched towards the enemies. The one who used the [Fire Bolt] was Semial's brother.

Of course, this [Fire Bolt] didn't hit any target. With a long-distance, it was easy to avoid this [Fire Bolt].

Unfortunately, after this [Fire Bolt], the enemies still didn't make any move. Semial gave out another command to continue their journey slowly.

They had bought three horses in the previous town. Fortunately, in the little skirmish before, their horses didn't die.

The convoy started to move slowly, it was slower than an average walking speed. However, at least they were still moving and not staying in one place.

When they were moving, the enemies also moved following them. Then, three arrows shot from the enemy towards the first cart's horse. Semial, who was near the horse, blocked two arrows. While the first team's leader blocked the last bolt.

The situation also happened to the other two horses. The members were already increasing their awareness, so they could block the incoming arrows and save the horse. Meanwhile, the convoy still walking at a snail pace.

Another attack was launched towards the horses. However, it was not just a simple arrow but a spell. Semial went forward, and with his sword, he blocked the spell.

After several rounds of harassment that didn't work, one of the enemies showed up in front of the convoy blocking the path. Semial stopped the journey once again and faced the enemy.

”What do you want?” Semial asked.

”Ha... Ha... Ha...” The enemy laughed loudly. ”Are you stupid? Do you really need to ask that question?”

”It is obvious. We want the goods in your cart!”
