---------------------------------
So here we are, travelling to the town of Mirabella.
Going to the alternate routes is hard, as the road is rocky and not paved. Because of this, we travelled slowly, as to prevent damaging the wheels of the carriages.
We take turns doing lookouts. Well, except me and Vi of course. Most days were uneventful until...
"Hold!" Jake said.
The carriages stopped.
"What's wrong Jake?" Royce asked.
"There are people ahead of us." Jake said. "There could be an ambush. Prepare yourselves."
All the men in the group prepared reading themselves and went out of the carriages.
Father, Royce and Jake went out and formed a shield formation back to back while waiting for an attack.
A beggar looking woman with 2 children were standing in the middle of the road.
How in the world did they appear here in the middle of nowhere? I asked myself.
"State you business!" Jake asked.
The woman approaches slowly without saying any words. She fell to the ground. The two children started crying, trying to wake up the woman, shaking her.
Mother gasped from the carriage.
"Stop!" I shouted telepathically. "Do not approach her yet."
"Maintain a defensive formation near the carriages. Someone needs to be a bait to the attackers. Father, you will be the bait. Royce, defend father from arrow attacks from his back if there would be any."
Father put down his shield. A soon as he did so, four arrows from different directions shot at him.
Royce used his shield to block 2 arrows coming from the northwest and northeast of the forest.
Father used his stone whips to deflect the other 2 arrows coming from the south west and south east.
"Arrows coming from the northwest and northeast." Royce said.
"Arrows coming from the southwest and southeast." Father said.
Royce and Father then ran towards the trees, their movements a blur, as soon as they knew the locations the arrows were being fired from.
More arrows were shot at them but they evaded them easily. The element of surprise is gone. They disappeared in the forest trees.
Four men appeared from the trees. They look like brigands. Each one of them are carrying a sword and shield.
"Surrender! You have no chance of winning!" One of the brigands shouted.
Jake readied himself.
"Jake, move defensively towards us so Vi can shoot these highwaymen. Attack them low so that they will block low so we can have a clear shot of their heads. Vi, as soon as you find openings, barrage them with rocks." I said telepathically.
Jake then stood there defensively waiting for the men to approach.
The thieves spread out slowly, trying to surround the caravans.
Jake rushed towards the nearest thief. He did a sweeping kick attack. The thief jumped backwards. As soon as he did so, his face was exposed. Vi took a shot and hit the thief in the face. He fell down screaming and holding his left eye."
The two other brigands attacked Jake, putting their shields up while attacking. Jake defended the attacks and countered with low sweeping slashes.
The thieves evaded the attacks keeping their shield up. The other thief moved towards the carriage. He saw Vi and smiled.
"You cheeky little bugger. I'm gonna make a woman out of you. Cmere!" Said the thief while trying to reach for Vi inside.
Vi then threw a powder pouch which hit him squarely in his face. The thief started couching and rubbing his eyes then fell to the ground. Vi then kicked his groin making his scream in pain, holding his nads. Vi then finished him off with two kicks to the face. He lay still.
Two arrows were shot at her from the southwest and south east but Vi avoided the arrows and went back inside the carriage for cover.
"Good work Vi." I said. "Just keep throwing rocks at the enemies at their vulnerable parts."
Vi nodded.
The two thieves, seeing their companion down, looked angry. They surrounded Jake on two opposite sides. Jake is in danger.
Vi then started throwing stones at them non stop. The stones were aimed at their feets and legs. The thieves look irritated as they block the stone attacks with their shields and swords. This gave Jake opportunities to attack them, slashing at their heads and chests. Jake moved to the back of one of the the thieves attacking him so that he would be exposed to stone attacks. He then attacked with low attacks relentlessly forcing the thief to defend really hard.
As soon as the he did so, his back was exposed. Vi barraged him with dual stone attacks using two hands.
He got hit at the back of his head and he fell down. Arrows from the south were shot at Jake which jake blocked and avoided. He then ran to our carriage for cover while evading the arrow attacks. Vi gave him some paralyzing powder pouch as the thief approached him defensively. As soon as he came in range. Vi and Jake attacked him with the paralyzing powder pouches. The thief defended against them with his shield. Big mistake.
He went to a coughing fit, releasing his shield, cursing us.
Vi then threw rocks at his face with hit him twice in succession. Knocking him down.
It's a good thing that this carriages are made of steel and they don't attack us with fire arrows.
Now we wait for Royce and Father to return. I hope they are okay.
