章 172: The Fallen One (3) The Struggle

Swords are the main weapon that was given to the slaves that were taken from the border area of the empire and sold to the south to avoid being attacked by bandits on the way there. Most of us were able to fight using those swords that we used during our escort duty. And since most of us are women, they are still in the process of learning how to handle the sword. I can't really say that they are experienced enough in using the sword at this point. I just hope that we'll be able to manage if the situation calls for it.

But anyway, I got to say that most of the guards are not used to fighting against unarmed people. It seems like they're used only for escorting carriages and people when they're traveling on the road or for hunting in case we're attacked by bandits. But I don't think they would be able to handle it against an armed group like this.
