What in the world...

Confused and breathing heavily, Chloe desperately darted down a narrow road. She was an adept runner, but too nervous to keep her breath steady. Moving silently and trying to remain inconspicuous, she picked a small alley and dashed through it.

The town had changed, albeit subtly. There should have been people in the streets and buildings, but the place was almost deserted. Anyone she caught sight of was an armed member of Bandit Squad Barrel.

The bandits had completely locked down Suls. Chloe was awestruck by the speed and discretion of their work. They were unlike any bandits she had ever heard of, at this point they were closer to a disciplined military than a bunch of criminals. Fortunately, she couldn’t smell any blood or see any signs of destruction.

The townsfolk weren’t being killed. Most likely, they were being rounded up in one spot so they could be held hostage. But even if she found their location, there wasn’t much she could do to help. She still had her sword, but was out of practice and would be up against far too many bandits. She had been counting the bandits as she spotted them and it was clear they were more numerous than suggested by the named quest issued by Lord Gladis.

Arnold had been immobilized by a poison and surrounded by bandits. Chloe had only been able to escape because Falling Fog, Arnold included, and Scorching Whirlwind had been willing to put their lives on the line to protect her.

Chloe desperately tried to think of a way to turn the situation around. At first, she had considered going to the town guard for help, but there wasn’t much they could do. To make things worse, the vanguard of Bandit Squad Barrel was patrolling the streets in search of her. Luckily, they didn’t appear to be familiar with the layout of Suls, but this wasn’t a large town. It was a matter of time before she was found. But at least she was free, Arnold and the others had all been captured. There was no time to waste.

She looked up at the sky. Squinting, she could make out high in the sky winged mythical beasts unlike any she had ever seen. Barrel was keeping watch from above.

“I never expected these bandits to be this dangerous.”

Even across the whole Zebrudian Empire, very few people were capable of riding flying beasts. For one thing, they were rare, but even harder than finding them was befriending them.

Bandit Squad Barrel had moved with purpose. They entered the town disguised as tourists and other civilians, locked down the town quietly and without permitting any opposition, and took Arnold out with a single hit, even if that was a surprise attack. Their strength was terrifying and she could see it even the bearing of the bandits walking the streets.

It must have required immense power and charisma to lead such a bandit squad. The names of the two men at the top were Geffroy Barrel and Kardon Barrel.
