Ambush

( Hollard's POV )

Hollard had been tracking Ben and Leo's carriage for the past three days.

Through these three days, he had been patiently waiting for an opportunity to attack them. However, knowing that his opponent was the legendary Ben Faulkner, he decided to wait for the most opportune moment to strike them to maximize his chances of success.

The road to the CrestHill Barony, was one that Hollard possessed immaculate knowledge about, for he had already killed a noble enroute this path once before.

About 25 kilometers from the Crest-Hill Barony, was a small dark tunnel, where the road was built through the hill via a tunnel and was the perfect spot to set up an ambush.

Although the tunnel itself was short, spanning only 30 meters in length and it appeared illuminated from end to end, once one entered the tunnel, there was a stretch of land for about 10 meters where visibility dropped to near zero.
