Bab 81: The Bandit Brothers

Eritrea led them some kilometers away from the camp, and they began to climb the mountain, heading for the wooden wall about 30 feet above the ground.

Eritrea was the first to reach the top, and she leaned against the wall so as to avoid being seen by the bandit watchmen on the wall with torches that had fierce orange flames billowing off them.

Her agility was higher than the others, which was why she was able to get to the top before them.

Asher and Alex arrived second and pulled Nero up. 

Asher looked up. He saw the shadows of men chatting with low voices at the top of the wall. 

"Have you gone inside before?" 

He questioned Eritrea.

She shook her head. "Look there." 

Asher looked below, toward the far east, and he saw a bonfire below the mountain, right in the middle of the Ash Mountain Pass, and some figures were seated around the bonfire. 

"Those are the ones that collect the fees."
