After finishing their breakfast, Leo and the other quickly prepared themselves with the necessary stuff needed for their return trip to Silver City.
Today was their goal to return back at Silver city. The trip would be half a day long, so they need to prepare so stuff in case of any danger from the unknown organization that wants to kidnap Veronica.
This ti, Leo and the others' return would be along the Sword and Magic rchant caravan delivering goods from White River city to Silver city. With this rchant caravan, they can use it as their cover-up towards their return to Silver City.
Basically, what they were really thinking is that they might be able to avoid any laying ambush from the unknown organization along the way with the use of the Sword and Magic rchant caravan, hopefully... and hence finally being able to complete the mission at the end of this day.
"Miss Angel, let's proceed!" A man wearing iron armor suddenly reminded Angel.
Angel nodded her head in reply before looking at Leo and the others, "It's ti to go!"
Leo and the others nodded their heads, before quickly entering a guard's wagon in the middle part of the Sword and Magic rchant caravan.
The rchant caravan this ti around was made up of 2 carriages for the Logistic Staffs ride, 5 guards wagon, 1 guard wagon for Leo and his group while the remaining 4 guards wagon for the soldiers, rcenary, and the students who had accepted the escorting mission, and lastly, 10 wagons worth of rchandise from White River City.
The students that had accepted the escorting mission were from Black Turtle Mage Academy, and coincidentally, Dandelion was among this group of students. Finding her presence within this rchant caravan made Leo and Cassandra breathe a sigh of relief. It was really a good thing that she didn't beco traumatized due to Ban Will's kidnapping case.
To be honest, at that ti that Dandelion was fetched by the Floye Noble Household, they were actually just overreacting. As a student of the prestigious Black Turtle Mage Academy, one of the top ten Royal Mage Academy, and as a Mage, she had naturally already honed her ntality to prepare for such a cruel situation.
The reason was actually simple. It would be an embarrassnt for the Mages if they have such a weak ntality, not even capable of withstanding such cruel scenarios. They are Mages, front liners of the battlefield in the War of Races, supernatural individuals, and fighters that will constantly face many more cruel situations in the near future. If they are not capable enough of withstanding such a thing, then they are an embarrassnt for the Mages. It's much better for them to just stay at ho and not to tell anyone about them being a Mage.
However, Leo and the others didn't plan to show their presence towards the group of students. It was simply because they wanted to avoid any unknown variables from happening. No one knows, maybe a student among the group of students from Black Turtle Mage Academy is a mber of that unknown organization, right? It's better to be safe than sorry!
After everything was well and done, the Sword and Magic rchant caravan finally started the journey to Silver city.
.....
The road from White River city to Silver city was really rough, unlike the journey from Silver city to Honoris city.
From ti to ti the carriages and wagon's wheel would hit a rock, which would then make the people inside jump up and down.
Leo inside the guard's wagon almost wanted to get out of the wagon and walk instead. If only he wasn't required to remain inside the guard's wagon to hide his whereabouts, then he might have long decided to walk beside the wagon to avoid himself from such a butt-painful thing.
On the other hand, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, and even Cassandra weren't experiencing what Leo was currently experiencing. The 4 girls had casted a Gravity spell to themselves, so they were able to just remain still and comfortable despite all those bumpy roads.
The only thing Leo could feel while looking at the four girls was jealousy. He really envies their ability to cast many and different convenient Magic spells. It was also out of his expectations that Cassandra had already learned so Magic spells when he was still away. It may have been caused back at that ti when they were escaping to the Yellow Forest. While the three girls, Elizabeth, Angel, and Veronica casted Magic spells to easily escape, the two of them could only look for a chance to escape. His situation was much better at the ti though, but still, it was not as convenient as the other three girls.
"I'll start learning about different Magic spells after this mission!" Leo swore to himself, before he turns his attention outside of the guard's wagon, while at the sa ti enduring the bumpy road.
*Boom! *Boom! *Boom!
Suddenly, multiple explosions loudly sounded outside around the rchant caravan. Leo quickly wanted to get out of the guard's wagon to check the situation. However, Angel was one step faster than him, hence blocking his path.
"But..." Leo wanted to explain, but Angel shook her head and replied solemnly, "Don't underestimate Sword and Magic! Even if a thousand of bandits attack us, hence threatening the business interest, the powerful people within our organization that are watching us will not remain still and watch. So stay and hide! Our current mission now is much more important, especially finding out the unknown organization behind Veronica's kidnapping!"
Leo was imdiately stuck and quietly sat back down in his spot. "You're right..."
'Angel was indeed right! What is happening outside is not related to them, although they are part of the rchant caravan? It is the job of the soldiers, rcenaries, and the students that had accepted the escorting mission. Not theirs, and will never be!'
Moreover, if the situation indeed escalates and beca really dangerous, to the point that Sword and Magic's business interest is threatened, the powerful people within the organization will just simply make their move to save them. Sword and Magic were, after all, an organization akin to an Empire's strength. Hence, a re bandit group from a re Kingdom won't be able to threaten them. Unless, of course, if this bandit group is from an empire's big bandit organization. Only those people are capable of threatening Sword and Magic.
Furthermore, finding out the unknown organization behind Veronica's kidnapping was also important. That unknown organization was undoubtedly powerful. They had even sent out a Magical Knight and had even successfully bribe those people protecting Veronica.
Outside, around the rchant caravan, all the soldiers, rcenaries, and the students that had accepted the mission were in a disadvantageous situation. They were losing, not just in numbers, but also in terms of capability.
"Roland, go and handle those bandits mages! I'll go and assist the soldiers and rcenaries!" A nerd-looking guy quickly ordered before casting a Fireball spell, aiming straight towards those groups of ordinary Bandits.
*Boom!
An explosion soon followed after the fireball landed in the ordinary bandit's group, causing a small number of casualties to them.
"Roger that, Kyle! You can rest easy and leave them to !" A muscular guy nad Roland replied confidently as he nods his head before casting an Earth Spike spell.
*Plaplaplaplak! *PlakPlak!
Dozens of Bandit Mages in range of the Earth Spike spell hurriedly casted a Water Shield spell to themselves in order to block the earth spikes shooting straight towards them. However, a few of them were still pierced successfully by the Earth Spike spell.
"Arghh!"
"Got yah!" Roland exclaid before moving closer towards the current location of the Bandit Mages.
"Kylie and Natalie, go and support Roland. Leave this place to !" Kyle ordered a twin sister who was currently supporting the soldiers and rcenaries.
"Yes, boss!" Kylie replied.
"Yes, boss!" Natalie replied.
Both twins nodded in response before hurriedly moving behind Roland.
"Dandelion, keep your healing steady! No need to rush, conserving your energy is much more important than the number of soldiers you have healed. Just prioritize those seriously wounded ones!" Kyle sent another order.
"Kyle! Enemy reinforcent!" An average-looking young Mage nad Flato suddenly reported.
"Don't let them in! Try to delay their reinforcent!" Kyle quickly replied, before casting a Flaming teors spell, showering the ordinary bandits with fist-size flaming rocks.
"Yes, Kyle!" Flato replied before moving away to intercept the reinforcent with another young Mage nad John.
"Kyle, we will lose if this continues!" Roland sounded behind.
"Just hold on for a bit!" Kyle quickly replied.
"Are those people in that guard's wagon coming to help or not? We will all die here if they don't co and help!" Roland said as he can't help taking a glimpse at the guard's wagon in the middle of the rchant caravan.
They were told that powerful and important people were inside that wagon, so it's much better if they don't co and disturb them. However, the current situation was already very dangerous. If those people don't co and help, then all of them protecting this rchant caravan would surely be dead!
At this mont, Leo inside the guard's wagon could hear all the voices outside.. He already knew that the situation was really dangerous right now, but Angel was still blocking his way, so he wasn't able to lend any sort of help to them even though he wanted to.
