It was a long and arduous journey While taking frequent intervals as for Samuel these constant intervals were nothing more than an opportunity to wield and practice his swords.
while at first the passengers were a bit curious about this strange young man who seems excessively passionate about swords but soon lost their interest as the rest of journey went on comfortably.
After about 10 days of Journey the carriage entered a small town located in the border of the kingdom while rested and gazing at the anxious appearance of the carriage driver's Samuel couldn't help but ask the nearby passenger
"Sir Do you Know why those driver's look so nervous while we have almost reached our destination ."
"I see...I guess it's your first time travelling through this route. we are about to enter the Great yellow forest"
Samuel gave a slight nod answering to these fellow passengers for his earlier question before giving an inquiring look.
. while being surprised Samuel asked
"But what's there to be nervous about as per my knowledge Yellow forest doesn't have any demonic Beasts "
As per Samuel's Knowledge, Great yellow forest is a vast forest located right between Solan Kingdom and Valta Kingdom.
It is called great yellow Forest, due to its peculiar wheatish yellow coloured soil, found in this region.
The Passenger nodded his head while explaining
"You're right. there's no demonic beasts in that forest but there is something worse than that."
Samuel couldn't help but be surprised after hearing that statement.
"Worse than that!!! are there Demon's residing in the Forest ?. No that's not possible if that the Case the Demon extermination Squad would have already been here."
Demons are the worst enemies of humanity in Azaroth Continent, but usually any minor sighting of them would bring the attention of Demon Subjugation Squad, a group created especially to Subjugate Demon's from Azaroth Continent.
While acknowledging Samuel's statement he said
"There are things that are as henious as those vile demons "
After hearing that statement Samuel went into a deep thought as long as his knowledge goes this demon kinds are worst enemy of the humanity is there something as henious as them. while unable to suppress his unrelenting curiosity Samuel asked
"What ? What is it ?"
While looking at this young man looking at him with such a curious look the passenger couldn't help but form a smile on his face as he replied
"Humans, and worst of the worst among them gather usually gather inside the Yellow forest"
"Humans ? But why ?"
"As you know Yellow forest is located right in the middle of two kingdoms right ."
While listening to the conversation with great concentrate to not miss a single word Samuel nodded his head slightly.
"It's generally impossible for a nation to run,without having there fair share of troublemakers"
Samuel made an inquiring look asking the passenger to explain himself.
"Nations usually have their own system to deal with these troublemakers, but some might get lucky and escape from their hands"
While looking at Samuel with a amusing gaze the passenger asked
"Now where do you think these people usually run to ?"
While understanding the meaning behind his fellow passenger's explanation Samuel exclaimed
"Ahh ! In the Yellow Forest" Now it all makes sense as Samuel thought all the Criminals prosecuted by this two Nations take shelter inside this Forest and the kingdom refuses to invest there man power in the yellow forest just to catch some petty Criminals which caused quite an headache to local merchants and travellers who frequently go through this route.
As for the Criminals, no nation would be willing to take them, so their option is this forest where the kingdoms jurisdiction can't be reached.
While having a firm grasp over the situation Samuel thanked the passenger and got up as the carriage was ready for departure .As the carriage departed towards the Great yellow forest without knowing what a Bloody mess was waiting for them .
After Entering Half way through inside the forest there was an eerie of silence as if the the entire atmosphere turned cold as Samuel couldn't help feeling uncomfortable as people who have trained swords and Magic often develop a strange skill to sense danger as he couldn't help himself and said
"Sir I think Something's not right." Just as those words left from his mouth a couple of dozens of men jumped right in front of the carriage while surrounding it from all sides wearing yellow scarf around their neck and with fierce gaze and crooked smile in there faces. Among them there was one with bulky Physic and a big bald head as a sneering look couldn't help but escape his face as a loud Voice roared through the entire Forest
"Come out and greet the Yellow Forest Bandits"
