Ambush

In the middle of the night, just outside the border of the Logress kingdom on a road path surrounded by trees.

A group of knights and squires were traveling, riding their horses in formation with a carriage in the middle.

The front line was filled with knights in full armor, while the back was mostly filled with squires and new knights who just received their title.

"Aaaa… Why don't we stop and camp for now?" one of the young knights said.

"They said the King sent a letter to the princess and we have to return as soon as possible. Why? Are you tired already, Marc?"

"Huh, what did you say? Tired? Of course not! Lucas, come on, we are no longer squires, we are real knights of Lion-"

Right when the new knights were busy chatting, a shout could be heard from nearby.

"It's an ambush! Defend the princess!!" a knight with long golden hair said.
