The morning sun had barely risen when Kyle and his group finally left the village.
The air was crisp, and the dirt road stretched before them, winding through the countryside toward their next destination.
As they rode, Bruce suddenly spoke up, his voice filled with caution.
"I heard a few people talking about ambushing us just outside the village. We should stay on guard."
he said, glancing at Kyle.
Kyle, completely unfazed, just smiled.
"Let them try. We'll deal with it if it happens."
he said casually.
Bruce furrowed his brows, but he knew better than to argue with Kyle's confidence.
Melissa, riding beside him, scoffed.
"They'd have to be idiots to go up against our Master."
The Head Knight, who had been silent for most of the journey, finally spoke.
"It's still best to remain cautious."
And so, the group continued forward, their eyes scanning the surrounding landscape.
