The Land Of Thorns
Behind the explosion part 1

A few moments before.

Ludi and Uncle, the owner of the tavern, were having a hard time fighting the bandits. But not only the two of them, but the bandits were also in trouble as the two of them who arrived - suddenly appeared behind them - making them appear flanked from both sides.

“I'm sorry you thought to attack them uncle!”

Shouted Ludi while swinging his hitter nimbly attacking the bandits who were eyeing him.

“Just follow! Of course you do not realize that we are currently at the front door, You better use your energy to swing your great hitter Ludi!”

He chuckled softly at Ludi, and with the blunt part of his axe he was seen repelling 2 people at once who were running towards him..

Ludi repeatedly only dodged the agile bandits who attacked him, then he seemed to grit his teeth looking at the bat in his hand and saw the axe used by uncle. Suddenly he immediately pouted to see the hitter.

“Isn't this embarrassing. This weapon is inefficient just draining power!”

Ludi muttered to himself with his tone that sounded quite upset.

Then Ludi began to use the bat in his hand again to hit the head of the bandit who had been harassing him.

After swinging his bat a few times, Ludi seemed to be cut off with his breath so messy. He was completely unfamiliar with using melee weapons, let alone using such a heavy-looking hitter.

“I just have to do it right?”

Shouted Ludi again saw the shop owner's uncle who looked so busy.

“Good! I'll do it, know this way I better use that unpleasant way.”

After saying that Ludi immediately ran up to Uncle even though he had to repeatedly dodge past the bandits guarding nearby, then at the lunging of a bandit who was near the shop owner's uncle.

“Come! Wait especially? Quickly throw me uncle!”

Ludi cried while repeatedly hitting his chest.

“Before you wanted a hard way because you didn't like it that way. Then, why are you so impatient now?”

“No need to tease me uncle, quickly do!”

The shop owner's uncle just laughed amusedly at Ludi who asked him to do that, but he did not immediately throw Ludi. He was seen still clearing a few people before him with powerful swings that he lay down over and over again to give him a little space.

Being behind him, Ludi looked quite busy back swinging his hitter making the bandit move away from him, he said, but Ludi looked so surprised when he arrived - suddenly pulled back and flung until he floated in the air past some people below him.

Ludi landed on the ground using his body to make himself repeatedly rolled forward safely, although when he woke up he began to look stagger and hold his stomach that felt nauseous.

“I really don't like this way .. It's better that I learn to jump acrobatically past them, rather than relying on his power to throw me this far.”

Said Ludi who was still staggering. He turned his head back, seeing the distance with uncle look so far away because he saw it so faint with the light of space inside that it was quite dim.

Ludi continued to check his bow while some of the bandits scattered nearby were still unaware that he was not part of them, he repeatedly pulled the rope on his bow to make sure that the pull on his bow was still perfect.

“So that's the appearance of the wooden wall from here, now you guys no longer have protection to dodge.”

From his position he saw the wooden wall before him that was only protected at the front, and on the side that was close to the gap, he saw clearly the wooden frame that supported the wall and clearly saw the guard bandits who were ducking to protect themselves.

But because seeing one by one the guards who were above collapsed, making one of the bandits look conscious and see Ludi who looked back to release his arrows.

“Catch him! That's intruder!”

Shouted one of the bandits who saw Ludi using his arrow. The shout instantly made the scattered bandits around him start to notice Ludi and make himself run away avoiding them.

Being in front of the gap, Ludi again released his arrow, he shot it until it was right about the shield of mercenaries who were in the front row, and made him surprised to see an arrow jerked towards his visa. They all looked towards Ludi.

“Do what stupid bandits archery from the front?”

“See she's waving at us, why is she?”

Said the mercenaries in the front row still paying attention, they were still faintly looking, but because Ludi who repeatedly waved her hand made one of them pay close attention.

“Stupid, It's Ludi! See well - well.”

“Hah? That's right Ludi, so that's why the shop owner's uncle asked us to keep watch in this gap!”

The mercenary seemed to hit his weapon on the shield, they were seen getting excited.

“Hoi! Are you not sleepy just stay there.”

Shouted Ludi while raising his hand looking at them.

After that Ludi saw them seem to start running towards him, without an aba - their aba was seen starting to attack, they shouted alternately raising fear for the bandits who saw it. Ludi looked back and forth watching those who passed him.

“Good work Ludi, great plan do two-way attack like this!”

Excited one of the mercenaries who momentarily patted Ludi on the shoulder and continued running along to continue the attack.

“Ha? Oh, so that's the reason. It's worth it uncle attacked them, so for this.”

Ludi muttered to himself, with his hands seen propping up his chin, he was unaware of Uncle's plan which led him to break through the bandits to notify those in front to start attacking.

The entrance was so crowded by the bandits that they began to panic, those inside trying to get out and those outside trying to get inside.

Seeing them like that made him an easy target by the mercenaries who did not want to miss taking advantage of the opportunity, but Ludi who saw it felt astonished. Because according to him when he was inside he did not see the bandits who tried to escape from uncle.

‘Why is inside running out? It is impossible for uncle to make such a big impact.’

Thought Ludi who was trying to see what was going on inside.

The drurm!

A sudden sound emerged from within which was then followed by a wind that was so fierce it hit all of them that it bounced to the front of the entrance. Ludi and the others were nearby trying to hold on, but as someone bounced towards him, Ludi was thrown not far from where he stood.

Ludi held her head and tried to get up, slowly the strong wind was gone but Ludi saw something unexpected inside.

Ludi opened his eyes so wide, he was surprised to see a large-bodied man carrying a bat on his shoulder and felt the wind around that looked like a snowy storm was surrounding the big-bodied man, and he felt like the wind around him, even make the road around it seem covered by the snow grains.
