Chapter 167 by doppledon doppledon

Is the ambush successful?

Yes.

"Open Fire" you say out loud, and even before your own finger presses against your trigger you hear the crack of Rene's rifle, and the quick fire of Yvette and Jane's rifles firing. You open fire at your own targets. You aren't even sure how many bullets you put into each guard, but when you feel the empty click of your rifle out of ammo you see all the guards on your side are down. The staccato of Rene's rifle sounding out between your own firing, and the slavers on your side fall dead. You stand up hearing more rounds being fired on the other side of the wagon. You want to rush over to their side, but you have to trust they will do their job. You can see the slaves huddled down against the wagon as you start walking forward towards the covered wagons.

"It's ok everyone. We're here to rescue you" you say loudly to them all. Not surprisingly they all still cower away from you as you walk by. As you get to the front of the first covered wagon you hear its back door open, and you raise your rifle to your shoulder as four guards rush around to your side. You line up on one of them as they immediately charge you and pull your trigger.

*CLICK*

"You fucking idiot" you say out loud to chastise yourself. In the chaos you'd forgotten to reload, and now the guards were right in front of you. The sound of Rene's rifle sounds out and the rear most guard falls over dead. You throw your rifle at the first guard, which he bats away with his hand, and you grab your longsword off your hip in time to parry the slice of his blade. You can already see the another guard moving around the first guard to get a swing at you. You step to the side keeping the first guard in the way of the second guard. The third guard seems content to hold back and wait for his moment. You smirk as the first guard thrusts his blade at you, which you parry again.

"Your buddy isn't very smart is he" you say out loud, and you can see the confusion in the first guard's eyes for just a moment before he pulls back to thrust again at you. The sound of Rene's rifle sounds out once more, and you can see the third guard fall to the ground. Another parry of the first guard's thrust allows the second guard to finally get around to take a swing at you. You concentrate a **** spell onto his blade and push magic through. His eyes widen as his blade just stops in the air, while the first guard tries an overhead chop. You meet his blade with yours stopping him inches from your head.

You can feel the magic draining when the second guard tries to move his blade, and the first guard tries to push his blade down towards you while you push back against him. Focusing on your blade you hold it in place with a second **** spell. You can feel the drain twice as much now, but you already knew what you needed to do. You released your grip on your blade. The guard's eyes went wide as he still tried pushing his blade down, but you didn't give him time to understand his situation. You grab the knife off of your wrist and stab it into his eye. His jaw drops limply first, and his remaining eye slowly rolls up into his head. His lifeless body falls to the ground, and you take several steps back as the second guard stares at you in confusion while he tries pulling on his sword desperately.

The sound of Rene's rifle sounds off one last time. The guard's head tilts slightly when the bullet strikes him, and he crumples to the ground leaving his blade floating in the air by itself. You step forward and grab your blade's handle, and you release your spells. You can move your blade again, and the guard's blade falls to the ground at its master's feet. You quickly look for any more threats. Not seeing any you kneel down next to the first guard to pull your knife out of his head.

"Clear on this side" you say loudly.

"Clear on this side" you hear Yvette respond.

"Let's move down the caravan and meet at each covered wagon to see what's inside. Rene, keep an eye out for any threats or runners" you order the group.

"Yes sir" you smirk hearing the three of them say in unison. The sound of mumbling and crying suddenly hits you. You look up to see slaves staring back down at you. Some are smiling, some are in shock, some are crying, and some are whispering to each other as they watch you walk towards the first covered wagon. The slaves that were walking are huddled up under their wagon. They look exhausted and scared. You suppose to them you're just their new master, but you don't spend more thought about it as you reach the first covered wagon.

What's inside the wagons?
