Chapitre 492: Not All Friendly

The next few groups of Trollish farmers and merchants were similarly eager to get any news that they could, but when Karl got to a group of Ogres using oxen to pull large carts, things began to take a turn for the worse.

At first, it was just the same sort of posturing as the last hostile merchant group. But these ones didn't look like successful merchants. 

They were filthier than usual, even for Ogres, and looked half starved.

When the wind shifted and blew from Karl's wagon to theirs, bringing the scent of humans to them, they snapped and began to charge.

"Rae, Golems." Karl called as he jumped down to meet the charge.

Both bodyguards joined him, as well as Dana's Golems. That should be enough to deal with the threat, and that was their plan to not blow their cover as merchants. 

However, that plan was entirely too boring for Cara, and the Void Badger was headed for combat before Karl could even tell her off.
