Chapter 67: The Distraction

BANG! A man kicked the tavern's door open, falling on his face, crying like a baby. "Run! The bandits are raiding the farms!" He crawled inside.

Alcott stood, "Bandits in the middle of the day?" grabbing his sword.

Aella froze in place, "Is this my fault?" She mumbled.

Arad and Alcott stared at her simultaneously, "What?"

"I might have eradicated a few camps as I searched for you yesterday," She stared at Arad with a pained smile.

"Will deal with them immediately. Follow me." Alcott rushed forward, and Arad followed him without hesitation. "I hope they were doing a good job." Jack sighed, "It would be a bummer if they didn't have any gold." He chased after them with Lydia at his side.

"You only think of money?" Lydia glared at him, "You know gold isn't everything."

Jack looked at her, "But it's most things."

Everyone rushed outside toward the fields. The bandits have banded there, plundering every house on their way.
