Leo and Marcus quickly crossed the forest and finally got to the main road that would lead to any major city. The bandits on the wall had noticed the people escaping into the distance, but they couldn't really do anything.
The guards on the top of the wall were all confused because of the explosion in the fort. On top of that, they couldn't find anyone of authority on the entire floor. Their bosses weren't coming up to give them any orders.
They couldn't go down to the ground floor though, because they were supposed to stay at their posts. The only thing they could do was ring the bell to inform the rest of the guards that they found the person everyone was looking for.
As for the guards inside the fort, they had a new set of problems. Someone unlocked the cuffs of everyone that was supposed to be imprisoned. All of the 300 people had successfully swamped those guards and imprisoned them instead.
