Soran followed him at the back.
The opponent was stronger than before, so it may be dangerous to go too close.
Just after the Paladin left the city, Soran noticed that someone was rushing out. The Paladin had killed the desert bandit in the town; it even seemed that the bandit was a leader of some sort. Thus, it was almost impossible to leave the city without being hunted by others. Desert bandits ranked first among mountain bandits in different places. Their ferocity was not far from that of pirates; their desire for revenge was extreme. Since the bandits sold their goods in the city, the desert bandit could not have been alone.
The Paladin went out alone, so the desert bandits would likely hunt him!
That was why Soran followed him.
He didn't like to help others, but he didn't want the Paladin to die here, so he decided to follow him and see if the Paladin could match the desert bandits. If not, he'll intervene slightly.
