The best wishes for not too many bandits turned out to be a red flag much faster than any of them could have expected.
By the time that the city was out of sight from the ground, Hawk had already spotted three groups of bandits waiting for travellers along the road.
The first one, all the travellers were going around, as they were set up at a bend in the river with two bridges, and it was simply faster to go through the field in a straight line to where the road came back to their side.
But the second was going to be an issue, Karl could tell already.
There were twenty buffalo type Minotaur, much like the sort that Karl was familiar with, but Hawk said that they were much more heavily built, and their heads were different, with forward curled horns instead of their usual upright ones.
