The Priestess Of Rodona - Chapter 76 Chapter 76
Elvire ran as quickly as possible, but luckily the camp was near, and it only took just took five minutes from her to get there.
One of the guards that knew Elvire went to greet her, but before he could get to say anything, Elvire grabbed him and gasped her breath as quickly as possible.
“A…alarm sound the alarm.” Before Elvire collapsed to the ground and started to gasp more of her breath. The guard finally saw that there was a trace of blood coming out from her sleeve.
The guard obliviously alarmed by this ran to the center of the camp where there was a bell placed on it and started to rang it as quickly as possible.
All of the guards that were patrolling quickly ran to the camp, and those who were sleeping or idle quickly secured their weapons and ran to the center.
“What is going on? Why are you ringing the alarm?” The caravan leader asked from the guard.
“The girl daughter of Edwin came just back she’s there gasping her breath, and there is a trace of blood in her arm.
She asked me to rang the bell, and I don’t see mister Pearson anywhere either.” The guard reported in immediately.
“The two of you immediately carry Elen to the infirmary the rest of you go and find mister Pearson he should be over there hopefully.” The caravan leader pointed out where mister Pearson had taken Elvire to practice, at that moment mister Pearson ran out from there, and there were obviously many cuts and wounds in him,
But then he saw Elvire laying on the ground he mustered his strength and grabbed her before running closer to the camp.
Behind him, there was a vast amount of people that looked like peasants as they had shovels, pickaxes, the scythe’s basically anything that they could use as weapons in their hand, and they were poorly dressed up.
“Warriors make a shield wall and have enough space for an Archer’s to get on your sides that they can shoot through the gaps.
Archers, you are free to shoot at any point you are ready.” The caravan leader said, and the warriors and archers took their positions, and Archer’s released the first volley of arrows at the bandits, and many of them went down.
Even when they obviously had more men than the caravan, they started to hesitate as they saw their comrades fall down.
They were simple peasants; they had never killed anyone if they didn’t have to, and they didn’t know what to do; this hesitation costed more of their lives as the archers were releasing their arrows immediately when they were ready.
“If you want to eat, then charge against them!” Finally, someone took the lead among the peasants, and they started to charge against the warriors.
“Close the shield wall now. Archer’s retreat and take a secure place to shoot them down.
Those who don’t have a shield be ready to flank them from the sides and close them into the spot.” The caravan leader said, and the warriors closed the gaps and readied for the embrace.
The peasants slammed against the shields and even killed some of their own people when they tried to swing against the wall.
Some peasants even stopped and dropped their weapons and started to run away.
The warriors started to flank the peasants, but even when they were sleeping on small armor on some of them for killed or injured by the peasants.
“If that bitch wouldn’t have shot me, we could have the perfect ambush.
Kill them all if you do hesitate now you are obviously going to get yourself killed!” The man who was accidentally shot by Elvire cursed out loud, but he and the rest of who were still fighting were slowly getting surrounded by all of the sides, and there was no chance to run away anymore.
“Those who drop their weapons now and surrender will be spared the rest of you will be killed.” The Caravan leader said and looked at how the peasants were slowly dropping at their weapons.
“What the fuck are you doing do you really believe at that bullshit. Like in the hell we would be spared anymore!” The supposed leader said and tried to rally the rest of them up, but in the end, everyone dropped their weapons on the ground.
“I asked what the fuck you are doing.” The man said and grabbed one of the peasants from the collar, almost choking him to death before the warriors came and knocked him out completely.
“I want a status report now mister Edwin can you get it to me.” The caravan leader said and looked at how Edwin started to work out.
“Sir among the forty guards we had there are five mildly injured, two severely injured and six deaths.
From the bandit’s side, we have captured their leader and thirty peasants; their age range is from twenty to sixty, I would say, and different genders.
They are survivors of the beast tide that didn’t have a place to go before the bandits started to recruit them in, or they began to rob people.” Levin gave the report to the leader and anxiously waited for the leader’s answer.
“Good job, you can go and look at your daughter. I will take care of the rest of the things here.” The leader said and smiled at Levin.
Levin started to walk as quickly as possible to the infirmary, and when he finally got there, he anxiously waited for the doctor.
“Oh, mister Edwin, I guess you are here for your daughter. Don’t worry, she just has small cuts on her arms as she didn’t look where she was running.
Nothing major, and the bleeding has stopped already.” The camp doctor reported and saw how Levin immediately became more relaxed after hearing it.
“She’s over there, and your wife is also here, but she’s currently talking with mister Pearson who is there.” The doctor pointed at two locations on the makeshift infirmary tent.
Levin decided to head towards his wife’s position first.
