Chapter 25 Bold Bandit

all in all.

Although Brand is not a thick-skinned knight like Yersin.

But he is no longer the aristocratic young man who was unable to defend himself in the past.

Although faced with bandits who wanted to rob the caravan, all Brand could do was stay in the carriage and not go anywhere.

But at least he could speak a little louder...

cough!

Because of the threat from bandits, Brand rarely wanted to do something serious at this time.

According to my teacher, becoming a junior mage apprentice will give you spiritual space.

Mental space can store a certain amount of one's own mental power in it.

The stored mental power can be recalled when needed, allowing you to have a higher upper limit of mental power in a short period of time.

——This means a lot to Brand!

Scattered and inaccurate arrows were thrown from the opposite side, and then landed on the guard's shield, and were firmly blocked.

"All on alert! Defensive formation!"

At this time, Captain Anderson, who had taken over Yersen's command, stood on top of a carriage.

"Raise your shield!"

"Put down your shield! Set up your spear!"

I thought Yersen came over because he had something to tell him...but why did he lie down by the window?

Although most of the guards were cavalry, the trade road was too narrow and surrounded by mountains and forests.

Although he was very confident in the strength of his own bodyguards, for the sake of caution, Yersin still handed over the command to the captain of the bodyguard, Anderson.

Then, under Catherine's surprised gaze, Brand "took out" a magic core the size of a baby's fist from his chest, and then began to absorb it attentively.

But this time, the number of people was much larger than before.

The scout didn't talk nonsense and said bluntly: "About 1.5 kilometers ahead, someone piled rubble and wood to block the road."

It's just that as an older brother, Yersen just wants to protect his weak younger brother!

However, the opponent always had the advantage in numbers, and the arc-shaped battle formation gradually retreated and shrank under the pressure of the bandits who were not afraid of death.

"The next step will be under the full command of Guard Captain Anderson!"

The current situation is still within Anderson's expectations.

At this time, facing Yersin who leaned down by the car window as soon as he came in, Brand cast a doubtful look.

Many scouts are stronger than him.

After deflecting the sudden arrows with the shield in his left hand, he quickly raised the spear in his right hand, aimed at a figure that "rushed" to the front of the formation with the crowd, and threw it with all his strength.

At this time, Captain Anderson came up and gave Yerson a look.

Looking at the neatly changing infantry troops below, Anderson nodded with satisfaction.

Following Yersin's shout, the caravan quickly changed its formation.

——The enemy comes from the rear.

However, seeing the solemn look on Yersen's face, Brand still gave up the idea of ​​teasing him, and instead began to worry about the situation outside.

Although the opponent has an advantage in numbers, the vast majority of them are rabble-rousers.

Although I haven’t seen any scouts “warning” so far.

In order to make his talent play a greater role as soon as possible, Brand purchased a small batch of magic cores before leaving school.

The next moment.

At this time, a scout suddenly came hurriedly back from the front on a fast horse to report the news.

after all!

"Arc formation! Maintain formation!"

Soon, noisy shouts of killing came from behind the caravan.

With the caravan at the center, dozens of signal arrows emitting white smoke slowly rose into the sky around them.

In Brand's carriage, Catherine, who was guarding the door, noticed Yersin coming and opened the door and let him in.

Wearing heavy armor, holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other.

Then it is very likely that there are enemies ambushing nearby.

The guards of the Holland family currently guarding the outermost perimeter are at least as strong as Yersin's senior knight apprentices.

Moreover, he was keenly aware of the slightest threatening aura looming from the team in front.

——This is for the scouts who are out to report the situation.

After saying these words gently, Yersin turned the horse's head and headed in the direction of Brand's carriage.

…

Based on Brand's current upper limit of mental power, if the innate ability manifested through fantasy were to materialize into liquid, the volume would probably reach 300 ml.

Logically speaking, shouldn't Yersen be scolding Fang Qiu from outside at this time?

Anderson didn't think these rabble-rousers would have the guts to hold out until then.

After comprehensive consideration, Anderson still chose to fight on foot.

"prick!"

Suddenly, Anderson's eyes narrowed.

Although he was dressed in the same way as the bandits around him, his explosive momentum before his death revealed his extraordinary strength.

The moment after Yersin shot the signal arrow.

Although the enemy in front of him was dressed much the same as yesterday, they were all wearing coarse clothes and a variety of weapons.

Although the number does not allow him to directly become a junior mage apprentice, the time will inevitably be much earlier.

Therefore, although the defense line has repeatedly retreated and shrunk, with such an offensive method, it will take a long time and huge sacrifices to break through the defense line.

Yersin understood instantly.

Yersin, one of the caravan leaders, quickly asked if he had discovered any special situation ahead.

Brand's face also became serious.

He would sneak up around the caravan and then launch a sudden attack, leaving no time for the caravan to react.

But if a solid with a higher density is realized, it can only realize something with a volume of 5 or 6 coffee beans.

He is one of the leaders of the caravan!

Yersen judged that since there were roadblocks on the road ahead.

The guards rode war horses and surrounded the carriage and entourage that needed protection in the center.

——This is not to be afraid of!

Why did you come in and hide with him?

How can you revitalize your family if you are so timid!?

He is currently just a senior knight apprentice.

Then, all the guards looked solemnly in the direction of the caravan's path.

Its usefulness is extremely limited!

From Brand's perspective, the subsequent trip was undoubtedly a lot calmer, at least he didn't see any more bandits attacking the caravan.

The scout's activity range is an area of ​​about 2 kilometers centered on the convoy.

He would not give the scouts a chance to send out a signal.

Yersen said solemnly: "It's hard to say, the enemy probably came from behind, and the scouts over there were killed before they could even put out the signal flare."

A gangster was stabbed through the heart by Anderson.

At the same time, Yersin shot a signal arrow with white smoke into the sky.

After all, if it were Yersin who robbed the caravan.

With a "bang" sound.

Following Anderson's order, the well-trained guards quickly raised their shields to block themselves and their companions.

Seeing the hurried appearance of the scouts, they exchanged slogans with each other to confirm the identities of the scouts.

The entire caravan was filled with the atmosphere of an approaching storm.
To be continued...
