When the Tedes arrived, the surroundings were overflowing with a disgusting smell of blood.
"A robbery?"
The situation was obvious, not to mention Aldis.
Two carriages on the highway. There are roughly twenty men dressed as filthy who are armed around them. By the carriage, there was a figure of a mercenary who had fallen with blood. It's not that he wasn't lethargic, but we can't predict that such a large-scale robbery would be along the highway.
By the time they arrived, they had already won. Is the owner of the wagon a peddler? There is no way to know which of the already silent humanoids is the owner.
"Isn't it just in time?"
Ted taps. Apparently, all seemed to have been stabbed by a robber.
There is no point in intervening by the Ardiss anymore, but once they have been exposed to robbery, they will not be able to say "goodbye". The bandits, who were in excitement after the battle, saw the Aldis and fired arrows without asking questions.
"Shit! It doesn't matter anymore, I guess you can't listen to it!"
"That's right! Isn't it thought that it's just the rest of the escort or a stealer for stealing?"
Ted screams while swording his shot with an sword and Orphelia analyzes calmly. Beside him, Norris responded by firing an arrow at the enemy.
"Aldis, protect me. I like shooting with a bow, but I don't like being shot through."
"Well, everyone wouldn't want to."
Responding with a silly expression, Aldis floats two short swords in front of Norris and cuts the arrows. The short sword, floating in the air, was the perfect armor to prevent flying arrows. You don't have to worry about the sword's handle being shot, nor do you have to worry about blocking Norris' view.
Arrows fly continuously from the robbers. Fortunately, the poor quality of the bows and arrows, or the poor archer's arm, led most of the arrows off the Norris and into the wrong place. About one in five had arrows heading for Norris and Aldis, all of which had been knocked down by floating swords.
Although the shooting of such arrows continued for a while, no one of the robbery's arrows hit the Ardis and others. Conversely, the arrows Norris shoots have definitely reduced the number of robbers. The bandits, who lost their numbness to the ineffectiveness of the bow-and-arrow attack, rushed in close combat, benefiting from the fact that only Ted had the only avant-garde of the Aldis.
"If you hold down that swordsman, the rest is a magician and an archer! Push it in!"
Head A man who seems to be a robber turns a friend. Except for a few people who got stuck after being shot by Norris, all drew their swords and responded to their heads.
"So I'm not a magician ..."
Such Aldis boyakis naturally do not reach the bandits. Ardis, who no longer need to prevent the flying arrows, shoots two short swords at the robbers.
At that moment, the offense and defense reversed. The short swords with no possessions creep silently from the blind spots of the robbers.
One of the short swords pierces the last robber from behind. Riding the tail, he wasn't alert at all, and fell to the ground with a lot of blood without knowing what had happened.
Another short sword passes over a robber who has fallen to the ground and instantly scrapes the neck of the robber running towards the Aldis. In addition, he penetrated the heart from the side of a bandit who was next to him. There should be no surprise from behind. Moreover, the killing by inorganic substances that did not make even the signs of life occur.
The robbers are killed one after another by Aldis short swords. Without knowing what happened, he tangles his feet and falls down on the ground. Eventually, a head robber, who seemed to be at the forefront, slashed at Ted and raised his voice.
"You guys! Let's get rid of the rest while we're holding down this guy! Let's catch the woman alive!"
But no one responds to that voice.
"Oh, old man"
Ted's eyes show pitiful colors.
"I'm just saying, you're the last one."
Suspicious I couldn't understand the words, and the robbery head looked around.
"Now ...!"
The body of a fellow sinking into the blood pool appeared in the eyes of the bandit. At last I realize that I am the only one standing.
"It's stupid! Such a thing ...!"
"I was unlucky"
With those words, Ted's sword was dropped on the head of a bandit.
After all the bandits had been cleared, the Ardiss were looking for survivors.
"Oh, this is annihilation."
That was exactly what Norris said. A carriage man, an escort mercenary, a man who seems to be an employer. Everyone was already dead. The stab wounds on the neck and chest indicate that the robbers carefully stabbed and stopped.
"What do you do? It looks like your horse has been killed, and will you bring as much as you want?"
Bulky: "It's wasteful to leave a carriage, but I guess I can't do it. I'll have to give up. After that, I just want something that can tell the merchant's identity ... "
"Then, I and Aldis look at the carriage over there, will Ted look over there?"
"all right"
Norris and Aldis approach each other in a less vulnerable carriage as they split into two and examine the luggage.
If you have two carriages, your luggage should probably be quite good. I don't know what kind of goods the owner's merchant was dealing with, but it is known how much they could hold.
"I wish it was a jewel or spice."
Norris uttered her selfish desire. Certainly, even with the same weight and size, the value varies depending on the product. As Norris puts it, jewelry and spices can sell for a considerable amount, even in the amount that four people carry.
It's bulky, but if it's cheap like art, or food, there is a limit to the amount you can carry. In some cases, you have to consider collecting only cash and giving up.
Norris Norris approached the carriage from behind. Slowly turning over the hood, Norris glances in and stiffens for a moment. He then covered his face with one hand and looked up to the sky, saying, "Acha!"
"What happened, Norris?"
Aldis looks into it from behind.
"What?"
By the way, Aldis's eyes appeared in the eyes of the turtles and baskets, which seemed to contain the goods, and the two girls shrugging and scared by them.
