15 Raiding the hideou (1/2)
Brom was the first one to charge in, followed by the knight apprentices. Raymond told Roselia to stick with him and heal anyone that gets injured. The two followed behind the charging four.
The bandits guarding the entrance noticed the charging enemies. One of them was about to call for backup when an arrow pierced his skull. Seeing their companion die so suddenly they were shocked and another arrow pierced another head.
”Intruders!” One of the bandits was finally able to shout before another arrow pierced his head. The remaining guard ran into the hideout while shouting for reinforcements.
The three knight-apprentices were amazed by how easily Raymond dispatched those three bandits. Seeing that just made them even more confident as they boldly charged forward.
Brom who passed through the entrance saw that there were at least fifty bandits in the hideout. There were also people in cages, mostly young females. Seeing their tattered clothing and their empty expressions, Brom understood what had happened to them.
Rage filled his heart as he let out a warcry. He charged at the enemy camp without any hesitation. The three knight apprentices that were right behind Brom also saw the scene of the young women being used. They too couldn't hold it and attacked, even the timid Daniel felt a boiling rage deep within him wanting to smash the bandits' heads into the ground.
They all started attacking and a chaotic battle took place.
...
The bandit leader wore a shocked expression as he watched the enemies who suddenly raided his hideout attack his men. They didn't even bother talking and directly attacked. Though their actions surprised him a bit, he wasn't that surprised by it as he noticed the three knight-apprentices. Seeing those three the bandit leader came to the conclusion that the mayor tried hiring some students from the nearby knight academy.
What truly shocked him was the boy at the forefront attacking his men in a wild rage. He looked exactly like one of the siblings that he failed to capture a few days ago. But that was impossible those siblings entered Elisora forest. Even a group of knights would find it difficult to survive that place, much less two village brats.
Even if by some miracle those siblings had survived, it was impossible that they would become as strong as the boy smashing his fist on his men. As he was pondering, one of his men looked a bit worried and spoke in a low voice.
”Boss what are we going to do? Should we retreat?” The bandit leader smacked his subordinate's head.
”Are you an idiot?! Are you actually afraid of some kids, why should we retreat? Don't you see what's happening? Even though they're quite powerful there's just a few of them, they'll eventually lose steam and be slowly killed by our numbers.”
As if waiting for the bandit leader to say this Daniel slipped up and was stabbed on his shoulders. Even Brom who had his iron skin skill had a few flesh wounds here and there, his hp bar slowly being depleted.
When the bandit leader saw this he smiled and was about to say I told you so. But before he could say anything a ray of light fell down on Brom and the others. The wounds they had disappeared, which shocked not only the bandits but even the knight apprentices. They then looked around and saw that a girl wearing priestess robes was raising her hands and shouting the words [Heal].
