Striking as though Lightning

A skinny person with dark purple robes draped over them shouted, "There army is away! Destroy the roads and retreat!"

A thunderous roar rose up from a crowd of 500 unorganized people, drowning out any other noises nearby.

This was the Steal Gold Gang, and they were targeting the road from Ooze to Angerfall!

Still, mere bandits wouldn't be able to evade the eyes of a kingdom, however small that kingdom was. Almost immediately as it began, Sonic appeared!

'My job is to delay this army of 500 until the lord arrives,' Sonic thought. Still, with all of the giant slimes out on a mission, he would basically be alone.

Only Alaric could handle Cini, and Rochefort was only useful during water battles. The barrier slimes were defending the cities too.

Alaric had already received a telepathic communication from Sonic. He was already out of his office, heading to the battlefield.

"Why?!"

He was shocked! The enemy thoroughly outsmarted him!
