Bandits

It took a further 2 days to leave the Ingrid forest for real, from there it was plains for a few days before the convoy met its first real hurdle: The Prious pass.

"So… We have to pass through here or extend our trip by half a month?"

"Yeah, and it's known to be a bandit hotspot…"

The pass was not a real pass in the geographical sense it was a passage between two forests which was known to be magic beast infested, it was even said that class 10 magic beast ruled the inner parts of the forests, however, that was unconfirmed

"So basically we're riding into an ambush for sure?"

"Yep"

"Yeah"

"Sure, it's usually one or two before we pass through the pass"

Mercury sighed before he asked the mercenary beside him

"Then why do you all look so chippy?"

The mercenary smiled before he explained

"Bandits are greedy right?"

"Yeah?"

"Well that means treasure"
