Chapter 19 - Chapter 18

"We're quite far away, aren't we? Compared to others," said Noah after walking for a long time with Kayla. "Hmm, that's right," said Kayla. "Don't worry, we'll be there soon," Kayla continued. The two of them walked for about 5 minutes and finally arrived at their position. "Why are we here? The other troops and the freight train are far away" Noah asked. "Everyone gather" Kayla said to the 1st division. All the troops who were getting ready finally gathered to Kayla.

"Looks like it's all," said Kayla. "Okay, I'll explain this mission to you guys. First of all and to answer all of your questions, why are we here? It was because the chariots and other troops were bait. The items we will be guarding are right here." Says Kayla. "We have a different route with the troops there. And here we have to protect the goods. In addition to goods, we will also protect a man," said Kayla. All the troops were silent hearing all of Kayla's explanations.

"I have selected 60 people myself. We will all wear hoods to cover our faces. Disguise yourself to look like a wanderer. Prepare yourselves, the items we take care of are very important and many people want to take these items. And the people we take care of are also important people. Don't let things be stolen or people killed. And the last one. Prepare yourselves, you may die on the job this time, we will leave in 5 minutes, that's all." Said Kayla who then left and immediately got ready.

Noah was getting ready, "so the others are just bait huh?" thought Noah. "So, how's Noah? Are you ready for this mission?" asked Kayla who approached Noah. "Well, ready or not, I still have to do it. This is also my first job after all." Noah said. " Oh, I see? Then we wish us luck," said Kayla. All the troops mounted the horses that had been prepared. "We will leave in five..four..three..two..one.. Go" Kayla said.. "At this hour wearing a hood makes me uncomfortable" thought Noah.

They had been walking for 10 minutes. "We've arrived at the village next door huh?" thought Noah. "This work is going quite slowly for the size of protecting an item and a man. And again the man just sat in the carriage. Must be comfortable" thought Noah. Kayla approached Noah. "Why do you look like that? Are you bored?" Kayla asked Noah. "The atmosphere is quite calm for the measure of protecting something that some parties want huh?" said Noah. "Well, we should be grateful for this calm atmosphere. As much as possible we should avoid fighting. That's why we disguised ourselves as a group of travelers," said Kayla.

"By the way what items are we protecting?" Noah asked. "Hmm, you could say we are protecting weapons. I don't know for sure, but from the info I got there were some parties who hired assassins to take this stuff. And this item seems to have an expensive price. even Mr. William didn't come on this trip," said Kayla. "Master William is not coming? Why?" Noah asked. "Of course he doesn't want to be killed," said Kayla. "Anyway we have to watch out for ambushes." Said Kayla who warned Noah.

Scene changes to Xander and Oda who are in division 2

"Quite a lot of people are involved in this work," said Xander. "To protect just one item requires this many troops. It means that the items we protect are very valuable," said Oda. "But, roughly what kind of strong person is after this item. I mean there's a lot of troops in total there. By the way, where is Noah?" Xander said. " quality is better than quantity. You can see that this army is just a bunch of weak people. Even me and Noah can break through the defenses of this army," said Oda.

"This is too conspicuous for the size of the mission to protect an item. It's like they are openly inviting the enemy to attack this army" thought Oda. "Looks like Noah is way ahead. Noah's position with Anna is quite far so it seems we have to help Anna if there is an enemy" Oda said to Xander. "Of course" Xander replied with a smile on his face.

Scene changes to Anna who is in the 4th division

"There's a lot of people here," thought Anna. "Hi, beautiful lady. What is your name?" asked someone who was beside Anna. Anna just kept silent and didn't reply to the person's greeting. "You need money huh? Because you're in this job. If you need money, I will give you a lot of money for a job," said the man. "The job is quite easy," continued the man, smiling at Anna. "If you keep talking nonsense," said Anna. " I will kill y'all" said Anna with calm intonation but have intimidation.

Scene returns to Noah who is resting with division 1.

"This work is very relaxed, isn't it?" asked a soldier to his friend. "Yes, we've only walked for an hour and a half and we've just rested" replied one of the troops. "Yeah, it's very quiet here, I hope the others aren't in any danger either" thought Noah. "Okay, that's enough rest, all the troops are back getting ready and going back soon" Kayla said to Division 1.

The scene changes to Oda and Xander who continue to walk with the rest of the group.

"Oi, oi something is leading this way" said a man. The attention of the train group was diverted to an object that led to the group. "Oi that… THAT'S A BOMB," said a man who then shouted. Everyone was shocked by what the person said. The object was getting closer to the group until it finally reached the group. There was a huge explosion at the front of the Company. Everyone panicked, when everyone panicked, the bombs came back from various directions towards the group.

"XANDER, PROTECT YOURSELF!!" shouted Oda to Xander. They both jumped under the freight train. "DUARR!!" explosions occur near Xander and Oda. The bomb explodes on Xander and Oda's horse. Luckily the two of them immediately took cover under the carriage. Xander and Oda felt a little dizzy from the sound of the explosion. However, before Xander and Oda realized it, the bomb exploded onto the freight train, destroying the train. Xander and Oda were hit by the explosion however, he was not hit by the direct blast because the bomb exploded at the lid of the freight train.

" RETURN, THERE'S ATTACK!! EVERYTHING BACK!!" shouted the captain of the 4th division. Anna became panicked and immediately retreated with the 4th division. From the front of the 4th division appeared troops on horseback and immediately approached the 4th division. "TROOPS!! ATTACK ENEMIES APPROACHING!" shouted the 4th division captain. However, suddenly a knife pierced the 4th division captain's forehead. Division 4 members panicked. "PARTY TIME!!" shouted the enemy troops approaching the 4th division. The entire group formation had been destroyed by the enemy's attack.
