They arrived at the ambushed point where they didn't notice anything except Oliver as he was already manipulating little traps in the Bandits location to ease the burden of the Twin Horns Party.

Oliver also deduces that this may be part of the Fate that he was not included since he saw Arthur's System Recognition of his Future possessing 9. He didn't know what will happen if he interrupts Arthur's Future. He wants to live silently and even if he had to part of his family to not interrupt Arthur's Fate of becoming Powerful, he won't hesitate to do it.

But Oliver also decided that if help was needed or another reason then he may also help. It was heartbreaking for Oliver since he didn't have a Parent so loving and also a brother.

Oliver was mentally prepared as right now as he stopped at what he's doing currently.

. . .

As their wagon was travelling, Angela noticed something suspicious as she waved her hand to cast a wind barrier around the wagons deflecting all of the arrows.

Reynolds and with the Twin Horns Party began to alert as a formation was formed to protect Arthur and Oliver along with Alice.

At the top of the cliff not high from what they were currently, they can see some Archers shooting Magic arrows. They also see what may seem like the bandit leader stepping his one foot forward as he raised his sword and shouted a signal.

"Kill them all except for the Mother and children. Be careful as we don't want to damage the goods." The Bandit leader wearing only leather cloth armour he slides down at the top to attack the wagon along with his companion behind.

"Stay close and protect them, Reynolds" Adam said as he dashes through the incoming enemy.

Helen was at the top of the wagon shooting arrows at the Bandits while she scans her surroundings if there was a hidden attack. Durden also followed Adam Supporting him, as Reynolds dash to the enemy nearing the wagon.

Jasmine was jumping as she killed the bandits with blood on their trail. Other Bandits was scared at her as they backed off but another bandit that seemed a powerful one rushed to jasmine, clashing.

Helen was shooting arrows at the Archers as she dodges the magic sent by the Mages at the top. Angela was also helping by launching magic to the mages.

Arthur and Oliver who was at the wagon were being hugged by their mother as she comforted them.

Arthur who wanna help earlier was stopped by her mother along with Oliver who was awake. Arthur contemplates as Bloodlust visible in his eyes, He looked at Oliver for a second and seeing him hugging Alice made his face frown.

An arrow dashes in their direction as Angela stopped it when she cast magic. The fight was easy but the leader along with his tough allies was not good to deal with.

Reynold crashed to the wagon where Alice with their two sons at as they got out of it. Reynolds was bleeding and when Alice saw him she dashed as she said "Are you okay, Honey?"

Arthur and Oliver looked at the one who did this and seeing how powerful that crash was it was obvious that the bandits leader did it.

Arthur looked at his mom confused as to why she was not healing his father. Oliver was silent as he knows he can't do anything or he may mess it up.

"Mom, you have to heal dad. Hurry!" Arthur said as Alice was stopped by Reynolds and looked at the bandit leader.

"B-But I can't--" Alice said looking at Reynolds injury.

"I'm fine Honey... My injuries aren't.. life-threatening." Reynolds said as he looks at Arthur directly seeing Oliver at his side.

"Art, Listen carefully. After your Mother uses a healing spell, those bad men will go after her. I'll be able to fend off the leader, but not if I have to worry about protecting you.

Take your Mom back down along with Oliver on the trail we came from and don't stop." Reynolds said to Arthur, who immediately replied "What are you talking about Dad? I'm not leaving you! I can fight! You saw me!"

Reynold smiled as he pats Arthur and said " Listen to me Arthur Leywin, I know you can fight and Oliver too. That's why I'm entrusting your mother to both of you. Protect her... and the baby inside her."
