Ambush

The light of the setting sun shone on the thick forest. But under the cover of the dense foliage, only tiny spots of light could get through the gaps between the leaves, which made the whole forest look somewhat dusky.

In the middle of this forest five-horse carriage was running smoothly. When three burly men suddenly came out of the grasses. They stood in front of the road with their shields raised.

"Halt!! Get out of your carriages!! Leave all your things, and no one will get hurt!" The young man with a black shield and a war ax in the middle of his group shouted.     

"Hoa!!" Startled by their appearance, the first horse carriage came to a stop. The other coachman following behind him wondered why they stopped but still followed suit.
