Chapter 168: Ambush

Although the information about Dark Elves' appearances is not provided in this book, Desmond suspects that maybe Dark Elves have darker skin.

This assumption comes from the frequently reads novels, games and films from his old world. So the chance that Shelty was a Dark Elves was only 1%, according to him.

* grumble *

Just at that moment, Desmond and Laura felt their carriage stop. Even though this magic room is equipped with a shock absorption spell, they can still feel when the carriage will move/stop.

The carriage suddenly trembled, or more precisely, the ground has trembled. And at the same time, they heard the royal soldiers were shouting simultaneously.

"HUA!" Instead of scream nor shout, Desmond feels this more like a war cry tradion before the battle begins.

After this shout, there was a riot and a commotion outside. Some people even screamed agony in pain while there is also a loud sound from swords and armor clashing.

"It started." Desmond stopped reading the book and handed it to Laura. He sat up straight and then adjusted his clothes. "Laura strengthens the defenses on the door and window," Desmond said as his tone serious and a little cold.

"Yes, young master." Laura was no longer as cheerful as before; she put the book on the shelf and then stood in front of the door with her arms stretched out, pointing it forward.

She muttered a chant, "Basic Spell: Barrier !"

A transparent barrier appeared and became one of the parts of the door. Shaped like a honeycomb, the barrier was tiny, only the size of an adult's palm, but it was enough to withstand a single attack from Class 2nd Swordsmen.

And after the barrier became one with a part of the door, it made that part glow whitish repeatedly, indicating the position of the transparent barrier.

But it looks like Laura is still chanting the same spell, making another little barrier formed and become one with the rest of the door part.

This time the entire door or door glowed whitish repeatedly. This light does not hurt the eyes; on the contrary, it enchants people with the pure light of radiance.

"Huh" after chanting the same spell over and over, Laura lowered her head, clutching her chest from exhaustion. She could also feel that half her energy was gone, making her head a little dizzy.

Laura then turned around to see her young master staring at the outside view from the window. She went over to the window and did the same.

"I've finished, young master," Laura replied.

Desmond glanced at Laura. Her face was pale with trembling hands and feet. Obviously, these are the signs of a Wizard / Witch with dying energy. "Good job, you can rest."

"Thank you, young master." With a forced smile, Laura then turned and walked towards her bed.

Desmond followed Laura's movements with his eyes until she finally reached the bed and fell asleep.

After that, Desmond shifted his gaze to the horse carriage door and the carriage window, "Well, I hope it's strong enough to withstand the impact." He commented and shook his head.

Although this horse carriage is equipped with several spells, Desmond is unsure about the spell that protects this horse carriage.

After Laura finished doing her job, Desmond then focused his gaze forward and muttered to activate a spell.

"Custom Spell: Barrier"

This spell is the result of a combination of Basic Spell Extend View + Basic Spell Barrier. Earlier, when he got into the horse carriage, Desmond had directly told the system to combine these two spells because he had a bad feeling.

And of course, the hunch is correct again this time; this spell is the same as a barrier but with the size of the barrier that can be adjusted by the caster. Besides, the consumption of this spell is more efficient than basic spell barriers in general.

So Desmond no longer needed to be like Laura, who had to chant the same spell repeatedly. Although this effect was similar to the Advance spell Desmond knew about, he knew that the resistance of this spell was nothing compared to it.

....

After Desmond activated the spell, a transparent barrier appeared suddenly and merged throughout this room. Just like what happened when Laura activated the Barrier spell, this spell also became one in each part of the room and gave off a white light that flickered repeatedly.

But the range of this spell covered the entire room; perhaps from the outside, the carriage of Desmond's horse carriage would look like a firefly. Emitting dim light repeatedly.

After activating the spell, Desmond then walked towards the window and looked at the situation outside.

The royal troops were fighting against a group of people who carried sharp weapons. It seemed that the soldiers had no trouble even fighting two people at once, but the soldiers' opponents looked shocked, angry.

But looking at the skills of these soldiers, Desmond speculated that they were all already at peak 1st Swordsmen class.

Whereas Desmond saw that the attackers did not have a strategy, their strength seemed not far from the mid 1st swordsmen class.

"Bandits," Desmond muttered. He did not expect that this group would be attacked by a group of bandits.

Although he heard the news that many merchants or citizens who wanted to move the city were attacked by a group of bandits, he thought it was natural because they brought few guards and made them like a fat lamb, ready to slaughter.

But this, even the Guardians themselves were accompanying them, and strangely enough, they still had the guts to attack this group.

Could it be that the attacks from the Beasts Race rendered their brains completely unable to function? So that they don't realize that this is a suicide attack?

Just as Desmond was observing the situation, thousands of arrows from a distance were launched. These arrows look like rain that is ready to take many lives at once.

"Hmm...interesting, let's test, is the barrier strong enough able to withstand consecutive hits of 1st class swordsmen? " Although the bandits did not use their swords, if swordsmen used arrows, that too could not be underestimated.

It was the same as if a classless commoner wielded a sword and attacked the enemy, then the power of the thrust, the impact of the sword was not as strong and powerful as the swordsmen.

Whereas if the swordsmen were holding a bow, even though this might sound funny, the pull of the spring due to the wind that supported the arrow was even said to be very fast when it was launched.
