Suddenly screams are heard, one of the merchants was pierced by an arrow and his laborers begin to run, some in panic, others in search of weapons to fight.
-"We are under attack!!" – a scream is heard and then. suddenly some figures appear among the trees, surrounding the caravan.
«They are Bandits, they are attacking us! the tree on the road was a trap! Surely they cut our way and we fell into it!» exclaims one of the merchants in a panic.
«Grab your weapons! Everyone who can fight follow me, Jonathan go with the boys and girls, escape with them to Blue Port City. You already know the way, we will meet at the destination.
Go!" yell William at the young knight.
"Listen to me! Hurry up and Come with me quickly! drop everything and follow me! quickly!" Jonathan says, one of the soldiers escorts.
Ciel had never witnessed such a situation. Without hesitation, she follows the soldier Jonathan at an accelerated pace. as they walk away, screams are heard and dead bodies can be seen. sounds of metal clash and the metallic smell of blood. Ciel can't help but tremble at such a situation.
Jonathan and the youths move away from the caravan, but the bandits are too many, and an arrow hits the young knight in the neck and falls to the ground instantly. He was killed. blood flows like a crimson river on the ground, the youths are paralyzed. and are quickly surrounded by The bandits. three of them desperately try to run at full speed, but they are hit by arrows.
"Jie jie jie, is anyone else want to run? I love the hare game jie jie jie" - a bandit approaches, with a grotesque appearance, covered in leather armor, rustic, made with animal skins, his disheveled hair and a long, unkempt beard.
«William, he is going to come to rescue us! it is true! he is a cultivator!» .- Says the boy of the Andrew family trying to intimidate the robbers.
«It's true, don't you dare come near us you pigs, we travel with a cultivator and when he finish killing your comrades you will be the next!»- Sister Andrew shouts angrily and scared.
"Ohhh look what we have here! jie jie jie»- the bandit looks at the Andrew girl lewdly.
Of the 20 young people traveling, 6 are women, and among them, the girl Andrew is the one who stands out the most for her beauty. she wearing embroidered garments and fine ornaments. well-groomed and combed hair and scent of lily perfume.
The family of the rest of the girls don't have the resources to access that kind of things. Ciel is a pretty girl. although her appearance doesn't compare to the girl from the Andrew family and the governor's daughter. she has a pretty face but she is being overshadowed by her current poor appearance as well as several of the other girls some looks better and some worse.
But with the Andrew girl it's different. his family has access to the rarest bathrooms. and expensive essences for personal care, however the rest of the girls with fewer resources must bathe in the river, thus being able to bathe infrequently. and her hair, not very elegant and cared for, lacking shine and cleanliness.
«Ku Ku Ku, today we did get some good loot! I was never with a princess, and you? Ku Ku Ku, «-says another bandit approaching through the brush, nonchalantly and joking with his comrade.
"Hey girl, if you mean that man who raised the tree I'm sorry to disappoint you that our boss already cut off his head jie jie jie! our boss is a second level cultivator or Foundation Establishment cultivator, whatever you want to call it, jie jie jie! it didn't last even 2 hits and it collapsed jieee, hee hee! «
«Nooo!, you're lying!»-the Andrew Girl says while crying desperately all her hope and pride crushed to dust at the hearing of such news.
