Chương 36: Mission( Part 2)
As they got to where the logs were blocking the road, they acted as if they were all surprised. Jolin had already talked to the merchants who were all inside the front wagon being guarded by Navenia.
Just as they had thought, the bandits attacked the back of the wagons. Jolin and grace acted shocked and didn't move. As the bandits got closer they laughed. They were aiming for Jolin and grace who had disguised themselves as merchants with their battle clothes underneath.
Just as they were about to get within Jolin and Grace's attacking distance and were aiming to strike down grace and Jolin, Jolin threw Grace her weapon and got his.
The bandits didn't have time to process what happened or change their direction. Grace and Jolin swiftly cut their arms and knocked them unconscious. By then Liam had struck down more bandits with his hidden knives from far away.
***On Mals side***
Mal was watching from atop a tree a distance away. She was somewhat relaxed watching the scene since she knew it was a piece of cake. She could have helped them in getting rid of them but she wanted the merchants to appreciate his friends. She wasn't about to make it even easier for them.
She suddenly sensed something a distance away and her hairs stood up. She quickly started to search carefully around. She whistled to Liam that she would be , "searching." She hope he heard her. She couldn't waste time to go to him and speak in person. She knew she had gotten all the bandits. However, she needed to make sure no new parties were present, her hair wouldn't stand up for no reason.
***On the side of the road***
The team were tying up the two captured bandits from Jolin and Grace. They also piled up the other bandits who were severely injured or close to death because of Liam. At that moment, Liam picked up him head, he thought he heard Mal's whistle of "searching." He was confused, why would she still be searching if they got all the bandits? Did she miss some? That couldn't be it, these bandits didn't have anyone skilled enough to fool Mal, unless there was someone else? He quickly glances towards mark and warned him about possible interruptions.
Liam: " Mark, am going to go help grace and make sure no new threats are lurking ok?"
Mark: " Ok, Me and Jolin will clear the road, warn us if you find anything."
Liam: " Like, I said, we got all the bandits so this may be someone totally different and not necessarily here to steal and may just be passing by."
Mark: " OK well hurry up and cover mal, we can't take any chances. If anything the road will be cleared for the merchants to safely escape ahead since the obstructions will be cleared. We will then head towards you."
***In the forest***
Mal had searched around and couldn't find anyone. Was she making up things? She heard Liam's whistle that he would be coming over in a bit. She was about to whistle her location and meet him and when she froze.
Right in front of where her foot was going to land, a throwing knife was stuck on the ground, it appeared so quick she was barely able to stop herself. Her hair stood up again. Just as she whistles the alarm, a person jumped from one of the trees and was running towards her. She saw another shadow out of the corner of her eyes. She started shooting arrows at where she though the shadow's direction was at and grabbed throwing knives of her own. She ran towards Liam's direction, hiding and evading knives while using the trees as cover. This weren't those lowly bandits, this were people on their level, or at least competent!
When Liam heard Mal's alarm whistle, he whistled back to the guys and hoped they had a keen ear for it. He then ran with all his strength towards her whistle. He was praying to get there in time, he knew something was wrong.
Meanwhile, mal couldn't shake the shadow and throwing knives kept missing by centimeters or grazing the trees. She suddenly realized the shadow was trying to change her direction by pushing her away from Liam. She cursed, might as well stop and hope Liam was running full speed here. The person behind her didn't expect her to stop suddenly so when Mal spun around and threw a knife at them, she managed to graze their arm. The shadow seemed to realize his plans were found and started throwing knives of his own.
She meant to quickly hide behind a tree and start throwing knives at the person behind her and at the shadow and she did do that but didn't realize something. Just when she had grazed the person behind and was making her way to hide in between a tree that had another tree blocking her from the shadows view, Mal got hit on her leg. The shadow had somehow gotten closer to her when she had grazed the other person. He didn't seem faced by her throwing knives. She did, however, managed to throw herself behind those two trees.
She then noticed her bleeding wasn't stopping and started to lose focus. Was that knife poisoned or something of the sort? Wait, it wasn't a knife! Maybe that's why she didn't notice it as well. She could hear Liam had come but was stopped by the person she had injured and someone else. The "shadow," was slowly making her way towards her. She then let out painful blood curling screams. For some reason those seemingly normal knives were making her have double the pain and she was starting to lose her consciousness.
