Mark headed to the front of the formation. Dressed in his Fire Tiger set, he looked like a fearsome general who inspired awe in the soldiers.
"Everyone, enemies are lying in wait before us! Grab your swords and prepare for battle!" Mark shouted to the guards.
After hearing his command, the guards immediately pulled out their swords and roared valiantly to bolster their courage.
Behind Mark was the sulking Gwenaelle. Although she didn't know how to ride a horse, she could communicate with it since she was a higher-level mystical beast. This made her no different than a veteran horseback rider.
At this moment, they suddenly heard the loud battle cries of the enemies up the hill.
The guards frowned when they saw the huge number of bandits charging towards them. They were well-equipped and they didn't seem like your average bandit group.
