“Just trust us.”
Field declared, telling everyone to trust her, but Graham still looked uneasy.
“Lord Fied, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but how can you find a resource point that isn’t even marked on the map?”
“That naturally has to do with those bandits you mentioned, or to be more precise, they should be called mountain bandits.”
Field didn’t hold back; since Graham was still uneasy, she would just resolve his doubts.
“Bandits…”
When Field mentioned bandits, Graham obviously paused.
He didn’t understand her meaning, but when Field changed it to the more accurate term “mountain bandits,” Graham finally understood the connection.
“Wait, is that what you mean! In that case, maybe it is possible!”
Graham couldn’t help but widen his eyes, marveling at Field’s wisdom.
Previously, their caravan had always regarded these bandits as a nuisance, afraid of being robbed by them.
Even with sufficient guards, the bandits might still take advantage of the chaos to steal some goods and valuables.
They had always avoided these bandits, so they had never thought of using this method to find a water source.
These bandits occupy the mountain and call themselves kings.
They must have a natural water source behind them; otherwise, relying solely on plunder would surely leave them dying of thirst.
So, we just need to capture one or two bandits, find their stronghold, and then we’ll definitely find the water source.
“Lord Fied, how many people do you need?”
After hearing Field’s idea, hope immediately lit up in Graham’s eyes.
He generously let Field deploy personnel as she wished, just to ensure they could capture the bandits without fail.
“No need. The three of us are enough. Have the caravan guards stay vigilant and hold the fort. If any reckless bandits come this way, capture them and interrogate.”
“This… is this really okay? Lord Fied, this is no joke. Just you, with these two young ladies, can this really be done?”
After hearing this, Graham immediately thought that Field was also being reckless.
The bandits were numerous and their levels weren’t low.
How could she go looking for them without bringing any help?
Walter, who had been watching their discussion, admitted to himself that Field was indeed a slightly clever noble when he heard the idea she just said.
But now it seemed she was just another fool overestimating herself.
As for Vidar, although he didn’t want to admit it, if it came to facing the bandits, with the Dark Guard behind them, they should be able to handle it.
After all, the one behind them was enough to fight against all of his subordinates.
“Don’t worry.”
Field said while releasing a powerful aura of Magic Power from her entire body.
This time, she didn’t hold back at all, and everyone present could vaguely feel an invisible pressure.
“Furthermore, don’t make me repeat myself.”
At this moment, Field’s tone was already showing impatience.
Graham’s repeated distrust had made her irritable.
It was a simple matter, but he insisted on making it so troublesome, even telling her to bring more people.
To be honest, the guards she would have to bring were actually a burden.
Not only would they get in the way during a fight, but a large group moving out would also alert the enemy, making the lurking bandits think it was an army coming to suppress them, and they would hide even more covertly.
“…Yes, yes, Lord Fied. I was too talkative…”
After feeling the aura Field revealed, Graham immediately realized he had said the wrong thing.
He had been too talkative.
The aura Field was showing now was obviously stronger than everyone present.
With her alone, she could probably match the combined strength of most of the caravan’s guards.
No wonder Field was so confident and said she didn’t need any help.
“Rex… can you tell what level he is?”
Vidar swallowed hard.
The bad memories from being blocked by Liyakade and the others in the forest earlier resurfaced.
This aura was indeed exactly the same as before.
However, Vidar now felt that such a powerful aura might have come from the Dark Guard secretly hidden beside them.
So he turned his head and quietly asked Rex, who was standing by.
“No.”
Rex was silent for a moment, then shook his head and spoke.
“I can only sense that his strength is not inferior to mine, but… he’s not the one we met yesterday.”
“What? There’s more than one Dark Guard like that? Or is this really his own strength?”
“I don’t know… but from the aura, it should be his own strength.”
“Worthless!”
Hearing Rex’s words, Vidar became even more annoyed and cursed Rex.
Rex, confused, didn’t know why Vidar suddenly cursed him.
Actually, Vidar had long ago caused his Magic Circuit to become disordered due to excessive consumption of Purple Mist Vine Grass, making cultivation very difficult.
As a noble, he was barely at Level 20 now.
Seeing a noble who far surpassed him in level, accompanied by two beautiful young ladies, and with a higher status, how could he not be jealous?
Rex’s words just now were undoubtedly confirming that Field’s level was real.
How could that make Vidar feel good?
Although the others present couldn’t hear the exchange between Vidar and Rex, Liyakade, with her Demon Race hearing, heard it clearly.
She heard Vidar’s frustrated curses and was secretly laughing to herself.
“Graham, there’s no time to lose. We’re setting off now.”
After everyone had felt Field’s strength, she finally retracted her aura.
Leaving those words, she prepared to leave with Liyakade and Alice.
“Alright, I wish you all the best!”
After Field showed her strength, Graham finally felt relieved and said no more.
He just left a blessing and let Liyakade and the others depart.
However, following behind Liyakade and the others was Natalia.
“Wait, Natalia, what are you doing following us?”
Seeing that Natalia had also followed without a word, Field stopped and wanted her to stay at the camp.
“You stay here and guard the camp with them, and keep an eye on the carriage.”
“No, Lord Fied, I want to go too!”
