People were crowding the front of the INN where Prince Eric and his group stayed. But it was not the presence of Prince Eric that caught the attention of the people, it was the Humvees and Special Forces caught the eyes of the people.All of them have different opinions about the scene in front of them. One person said, "They must be mages carrying an iron staff". Another one said, "those carriages are made of iron it looks like they are carrying something important." One of the people spoke, "maybe it is prince Eric they are protecting. If Prince Eric disappeared for a month, then it means someone plotted to a.s.sa.s.sinate Prince Eric, he disappeared to hire those mages as bodyguards."
More people gave their opinions, the Special Forces didn"t care about the people looking at them.
Cpt. Alvarez notices one of the people act strangely, he was observing the person carefully who wore a black cloak. Alvarez"s instinct started to ring danger. But the man notice Alvarez stare so he immediately disappeared into the crowd.
Lord Valentine arrived and spoke, " All right people there is nothing to see here, you may continue with your daily jobs. They are just Prince Eric"s guests so all of you run along now."
The people dispersed and started to go back to their everyday business. Lord Valentine went inside to see Eric.
Cpt. Alvarez was still thinking about the person, he ordered his men to be extra careful. He was having a feeling that something not good was gonna happen. He told all the gunners to stay alert during their travel.
Lord Valentine found Eric, he went towards Eric and spoke, " Prince Eric I suggest that you should be careful while traveling. We have received various reports about bandits attacking the caravan of merchants. I have already sent some of my men to look for the bandits. But I suggest that you should still be careful."
Eric spoke, " Well I"ll keep that in mind Lord Valentine, but you should not worry that much. It should be the bandits who should be worried."
Rogen heard the conversation of the two and thought, [Why do I feel like I"m enjoying listening to other people"s conversation.]
Rogen went straight outside pa.s.sing Eric and Valentine. Rogen Immediately spoke to Cpt. Alvarez, " Captain it looks like we may be able to encounter some hostile group."
Alvarez spoke, " I already know that my guts have told me that something interesting will happen today, So I ordered the gunners to be extra observant, I also told them to fire at will if notice something is wrong."
The Humvees started their engines, all the soldiers got inside of the vehicles. Prince Eric, Anya, Crystal, Aljun, and Tiffany got in.
The convoy started to move forward, the gunners were looking more intently at the crowd of people after receiving Cpt. Alvarez worries. They got near the exit gate, the guards let them through as they already received an order to let them pa.s.s through without inspection.
The convoy got farther than the gates, the gunners were observant of their surroundings as they are expecting something to happen.
The convoy traveled smoothly even with this current calm situation, all the soldiers were on alert. They are looking at the sides of the roads observing every bush and tree they pa.s.sed, all of them already prepared them Ak-12 a.s.sault rifles. They only put the rifle"s safety, but if it was deactivated the rifle could automatically fire at their targets.
Aljun and Tiffany noticed that the soldiers weren"t as relaxing before. Aljun then said to himself, [ It looks like they already sensed danger coming.]
The Humvees were traveling the undeveloped road, dust particles floated the air. A gunner who was observing the surrounding noticed something moved. He pointed his .50 cal to the direction ready to open fire. But the movement was just a rabbit hopping.

In the forest, a group of three hundred men was gathered, you could hear the crying and moaning voices of girls inside the tents. Various carriages were brought there, it was the bandits temporary camp. The people gathered were talking, " So where is Grar he should have good news. We already made a fortune attacking those merchants.
The man wearing a black cloak, who Alvarez saw in the town appeared. The man who spoke again, " Grar so any good news" The man in a black cloak spoke, " There is something, a horseless carriage will take this route. I think they are carrying something very valuable. I suggest we should do an all-out ambush to them."
"Well, also may I ask where is the boss now?"
The man spoke, " inside his tent enjoying the daughter of the merchant we captured yesterday."
Grar went to the tent of their boss, he could hear a girl moaning while crying. He entered the tent and saw his boss raping a girl.
The boss noticed Grar, but he still continued to do his business, with the girl who was crying. The boss spoke, " So Grar any good news".
Grar spoke, " Yes there is a convoy taking this route, they are armored carriers without horses. I think they are carrying something valuable."
The boss asked, " Are there any females with them as you can see I"m starting to get bored with this chick."
Grar replied, " It seems there are two of them and they are both beauties. If you want them I suggest we should do an all-out ambush."
The boss then spoke while strangling the girl, " Hmmm, two beauties in one raid, a horseless carriage, and something valuable well it"s not bad, tell the men to get ready I will just finish enjoying this."
Grar replied, " Yes sir"
The boss licked his lips while saying, " two beauties in one go, a strange carriage, and a valuable item I guess this will be the most profitable raid I will do."
Grar told the bandits to prepare, all of them started to walk towards the designated ambush area. The boss who just finished walk outside his tent he then joined the bandits on their preparation.

After a few seconds, the shiny thing traveled at fast speeds, the gunner was shocked after it hit him, but he was lucky as it hit his kevlar vest.
He yelled " Enemy ambush", Cpt. Alvarez ordered his men to open fire. The muzzle of the M2 pointed at the direction where the arrow came from.

The bandit boss was dumbfounded after seeing the soldier was unscathed even fired by a crossbow. He then shouted his order to his men, " Attack, don"t hold back we have the numbers they can"t do anything if they get tired."
Bandits at both left and right of the road charged towards the Humvees. They run as fast as they can while screaming.
The radio of the humvees crackled and echoed the voice of Alvarez, " FIRE!"
The gunner fired the M2 Browning"s, the bandits who were getting near the convoy fell. As the thunderous noise made by the M2 Browning echoed throughout the battlefield.
The bandits were surprised after seeing their comrades fell. One of the bandits got hit in the head. His head was completely obliterated by the .50 caliber rounds. After a minute over 134 bandits fell, even the bandits who wore admire were completely killed.
Grar and the boss were dumbfounded at the scene they witnessed. Both of them peed in their pants. The boss and Grar, ran away from the battlefield, as they left their comrades to die without being able to fight back.
A designated marksman of the Special Forces noticed the two fleeing figures. He then aimed his bolt action M-24 sniper rifle. He first shot the boss, a bang sounded inside the humvee. Grar who was running with the boss was surprised after seeing his boss fell and blood streamed from a hole created in the head of his boss.
Grar then felt something hit his head, he immediately fell while losing his vision, then darkness just filled his sight.
After four minutes of gunfire, the area was covered with dead bodies of bandits. The smell of blood rises to the air as three hundred bodies were lying.
Aljun who got out was surprised at the scene he saw, he almost puked but he did not puke because of the dead bodies. He puked from imagining what would happen if the weapons were used against them. He saw bandits with a completely destroyed head, you can see other bandits bones came out of their skin because they were scratch by the 50 caliber rounds.
Prince Eric also got out and was surprised, he immediately realized the cause of the loud noises. He also realized the used of the black staff that the soldiers carry. It was his first time seeing the destructiveness of the a.s.sault rifle, he felt cold sweat trickled down his spine, after imagining if they were at war with them. He thought, [ It will not be a battle it will be a total ma.s.sacre if we fight them.]
Crystal, Anya, and Tiffany also got out all of them showed the same expression as Prince Eric.
Aljun then went to Eric, " He told Eric that they would have to talk privately."
They walked at a distance where no can hear them, Aljun started to speak, " Prince Eric, I can"t believe this but we brought some dangerous people. After noticing this scene I will say this to you, I believe you now so please make sure that we actually get that alliance with them. I now fully support you with this plan of yours.
Cpt. Alvarez told his men to arrange the dead bodies of bandits. The bodies were put on the side of the road.
After an hour the guards who were patrolling the area went to the convoy.
One of the guards noticed Prince Eric and Aljun, he went to the two and bowed. He then spoke, " Your highness what happened here?"
Eric spoke, " Well we were attacked by bandits, the soldiers are putting the bodies on the side. I think you should help them."
The guard spoke, " No your highness it should be our job to kill those bandits but we have bothered you and your guest by doing our jobs. I sincerely apologize, we will be cleaning the bodies ourselves so you may proceed with your travel."
The guard called one his subordinate and told him to report the events that happened here to Lord Valentine.
The prince then went to the humvees as well as the soldiers who were cleaning. They proceeded to move forward.
The guards then explored the ear areas and found the camp of the bandits were many bodies of people were hanged, completely violated girls were the scene that greeted the guards.
Lord Valentine spewed his tea after hearing the report. He then asks the guard again, " Are you sure that the group with Prince Eric completely annihilated all three hundred bandits without them losing a man."
The guard replied, " That is indeed correct sir, three hundred bandits were killed by the people with Prince Eric."
Valentine said to himself, " Preposterous, killing all Three hundred men without losing a single man. It was even an ambush according to the investigation."
