Chapter 15 - Ambush

After days of observing the white-bearded geezer, William had a smile on his face.

William noticed that the old geezer was mostly frowning as if he was filled with a huge burden on his mind. Moreover, over time, the white-bearded old man became impatient because he was anxious and asked the coachman to move faster.

When his suggestion was rejected, William even saw that the white-bearded grandfather seemed to have plans to abandon the horse carriage. But not knowing what the old man was thinking, he couldn't help but feel anxious and stay inside the wooden wagon of the horse-drawn carriage.

“Looks like this trip won't be as boring as I thought it would be!” William could only sigh.

If only William didn't have a battle soul artifact like the book of cause and effect in his hands, he would definitely be the first to leave the wooden carriage of the horse carriage. That was because the soul energy capacity of a tier 9 Spirit Warrior was not enough to fight a group of more than 5 people.

Previously, William had intended to do nothing on his trip. However, this little girl in front of him had something that intrigued him. For William who still didn't really understand Battle Soul, he needed to do certain research to fill his knowledge.

As the saying goes, knowledge is one of the powers that humans must possess.

Even so, to be careful of how big the threat would be, William still chose to watch on the sidelines to observe his enemy's strength first.

If their strength was average and not too strong, then he would not hesitate to act to save her. But if they were too strong, all he could do was just give up. After all, the southern continent was vast, and the little girl wasn't the only one with the Battle Soul bloodline of a powerful Spirit Warrior.

After a few days had passed, the horse carriage had already started halfway from its destination. As for the old man, his anxiety had already increased to the maximum. Most of the time he stayed in the wooden carriage of the horse-drawn carriage and rarely left unless it was essential. The old man even kept the little girl by his side tightly, as if he was on guard against something that could threaten his life.

The misty night had dyed the sky a cloudy gray.

The horse carriage stopped by the side of the road, and the tired passengers began to disembark. Then they all sat in a circle around the bonfire to rest drinking the fermented wine.

After days of traveling, the people in the horse carriage had also become close to each other. Especially the little merchant in front of William, the man took out a flute from his shirt pocket and played a song suitable for the situation.

Several beautiful women who were around the bonfire began to stand up to perform their beautiful dance.

Several middle-aged men took out a rather expensive bottle of wine and started walking beside the beautiful female dancer. As for the beautiful female dancers, they only chuckled and did not refuse the joining of the middle-aged men.

After the atmosphere reached its peak, people started singing and dancing regardless of how bad their singing was. The carriage guards had drunkenly with them all freely.

William just leaned against the tree trunk while watching their happy mood from the side. In his right hand, he held the bottle of wine that he occasionally drank, and glanced several times into the wooden carriage of the horse carriage.

Even though the sky was already very dark and the situation around was at its peak, the old geezer still urged the carriage driver to continue their journey in exchange for a double.

But unfortunately, the suggestion was flatly rejected by the train driver and all passengers. It was because traveling in the middle of a night like this was extremely dangerous.

William could see how gloomy the old geezer was just by looking at the twisted expression on his face.

Then tonight the old geezer decided to stay in the wooden carriage of the horse-drawn carriage, and not let the little girl step away from the wooden carriage. Even some bad rumors had started to have gossiped among the passengers.

But William knew that the two people were actually hiding in the wooden carriage of the horse carriage because someone was being chased by someone.

“It seems the pursuers have arrived at this place!” William slightly glanced at a boulder 100 meters from here, he could already feel the soul energy radiation emitted by the pursuers.

Swoosh!

Splat!

A black arrow had shot through the night and directly penetrated the brain of a muscular man who was dancing around a bonfire.

The blood splatter began to hit the face of a woman who was nearby. At first, the woman thought that the splash was from someone's wine, but after the woman looked to the side she was immediately stunned.

The woman seemed to have realized that it wasn't a splash of wine but the real blood of someone nearby.

A few seconds later, the woman began to let out a scream that pierced the ears of those around her.

“Ahhhh!!!”

Some of the people who were still carried away by the joyous atmosphere around began to be disturbed by the screams.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Then by the time they came back to reality, several black arrows had pierced the hearts of the people around them all.

"Careful!"

“There was a bandit attack!”

"Help me!!!"

Various screams and pitiful cries began to sound in the night, it actually became very different from the previous joyful atmosphere.

As for the carriage driver, he very quickly put on the leather armor and crouched down to hug his head. The driver of the horse carriage could only standstill with his body shaking with fear.

"What happened? Why were the bandits attacking now? It's not as planned!” The carriage driver could only mutter that with his body shaking with fear.

In fact, this provider of wooden horse-drawn carriages already had an appointment with the bandits he had known. They had made a plan to rob by taking the passengers to an agreed-upon road.

As for the train driver, usually, the bandits like to share some change for bringing the passengers. After all, had it not been for the train driver taking passengers to be robbed, perhaps the robbers would not have gotten a penny from the passengers.

But all of the train driver's plans had turned to nothing because of this unexpected event.

Swoosh!

Another black arrow had slid into the darkness of the night and pierced straight through the driver's neck.

William could see that the driver was clutching his own neck and staring blankly at the sky, it was like someone who was remembering the past of their life before leaving this world forever.
