My Magic Has No Upper Limit

Chapter 316: Chapter 295: So We Can Kill People at Will Now?

The lead draft horses let out terrified neighs, along with injured wails.

Their forequarters instantly collapsed, causing the carriage behind them to pitch up at the rear.

A CRACK echoed—the sound of the carriage shafts snapping.

The entire convoy, which had been moving at a steady pace, ground to a halt as if it had hit a wall.

The carriages behind couldn’t brake in time. Amidst the drivers’ terrified shouts, they slammed into the rear of the ones in front with a BOOM.

The wooden crates loaded with ore shattered, refined ore spilling onto the ground and thudding against the wooden planks.

"What’s going on up front?!"

Booker rubbed his head and threw open the carriage door. The sudden stop had left him completely dazed.

"Where’s the driver? Is he blind? Can’t he go around an obstacle?!"

But when he saw the scene up ahead, Booker’s mouth fell open and wouldn’t close. His expression shifted from surprise to terror.

A row of pits had appeared in front of the lead carriage, and inside them were carefully placed spikes.

The moment their hooves landed, they broke through the surface layer of camouflaging loose soil and plunged deep inside.

The front legs of the two poor lead horses were now buried deep in the pits.

The spikes had pierced their hooves and leg bones. Blood gushed out, instantly staining the dirt at the bottom of the pits red.

The draft horses struggled frantically in excruciating pain, but not only could they not pull their legs out, their struggles caused the bones to snap completely.

Ghastly white shards of bone pierced through flesh and skin, a horrifying sight to behold.

’This is a trap made specifically for carriages!’

...

"What’s going on...!"

After the disturbance came from up ahead, Zelir pulled hard on his reins.

But before he could finish speaking, a sharp, whistling sound tore through the air!

That sound was all too familiar; he heard it almost every time he fought alongside Valles.

Zelir immediately identified it.

’Feathered Arrows!’

Without hesitation, Zelir vaulted off his horse on the side closer to the carriage, using the animal as cover.

At the same time, Night Peace at his waist traced a sharp arc into his palm.

A crystalline blue light of Magic Power flickered within the staff’s body.

Gray made the same move at the same time.

He crouched beside his horse’s belly, his Longsword drawn and held horizontally before his chest.

Gray cautiously peeked out, observing the side of the road.

"WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!!"

There was no time to breathe. Just as the lead carriage fell into the trap, the Feathered Arrows came raining down as predicted.

The road the convoy was traveling on was currently lined with waist-high bushes, providing excellent cover and limiting their field of view.

It was a perfect spot for an ambush.

"THWACK! THWACK!"

It was the dull sound of sharp objects sinking into flesh.

"HREEE!!!"

Zelir felt the warhorse in front of him jolt violently and let out a pained cry.

A Feathered Arrow had pierced through the fur on its neck and buried itself deep inside. Blood gushed out.

More Arrows flew over the horse’s back. Some pierced the carriage, while others embedded themselves in the wooden walls, their tails trembling violently.

"Argh!"

A few pained grunts came from inside the carriage. Some unlucky fools must have failed to dodge the Feathered Arrows in time.

Zelir and Gray exchanged a look, both thinking the same thing.

’Just a moment ago, we were riding along, remarking on how easy this trip was, and now we’re being ambushed.’

’These bastards...!’

Sure enough, after the first suppressive volley of Feathered Arrows, a group of men in black headscarves began to emerge from the bushes.

A quick count revealed at least twenty of them!

Their weapons were a motley collection: cleavers, Wolf Fang Clubs, and even flails.

Amidst this rabble, two leaders were clearly visible.

The two of them were better equipped, wearing complete sets of Armor.

And the aura they exuded was much more powerful.

’Professionals. And Middle Level Professionals at that!’

"Get ’em, brothers! This is a big score!"

Each one looked fierce and menacing. They let out strange cries, "Loot everything, kill everyone! We’ll have a full winter!"

At the same time, the door of the carriage behind Zelir was pulled open.

Marcus charged out, Battle Saber in one hand and Shield in the other.

Hill also leaped out gracefully, landing beside Zelir.

Her eyes quickly swept over the scene, assessing the situation.

"These aren’t your average mountain bandits. This is a well-trained Thief Gang."

"Zelir, you give the orders," Marcus said in a low voice.

"It’s simple."

Zelir sneered.

"Marcus, Gray, you two deal with the small fry getting close. Valles, you provide support. Don’t let them flank us..."

"Hill, you do as you see fit."

"As for the two remaining Middle Level Warriors... leave them to me!"

’Humans are much easier to deal with than Demons... At least they don’t have the powerful Constitution of a Demon, or all sorts of bizarre Special Abilities.’

Aside from the two Middle Level Warrior leaders, the rest of the Thief Gang were mostly ordinary people mixed with a few Junior Professionals.

It would be no problem at all for Marcus and Gray.

In the face of such a disparity in Power, numbers meant nothing.

A Thief Gang of over twenty men, with two Middle Level Warriors among them, would indeed be terrifying for an ordinary Carriage Guard Team.

Unfortunately for them, they had picked the wrong opponents this time.

"Understood!"

As soon as Zelir gave the order, Marcus sprang into action.

"Come on!"

He let out a Battle Cry, his Fighting Qi mixing with an intimidating Power!

Marcus immediately stunned the foremost members of the Thief Gang. They faltered, their eyes filled with terror.

Then, Marcus raised his Shield and used Charge, sending two thieves flying.

And he truly sent them flying.

The two thieves were flung back seven or eight meters as if hit by a rhinoceros, their sternums caved in and blood spraying from their mouths.
