Chapter 33 - 33 - A Battle Is About To Begin!
It had already been two days of travel, during all that time, nothing happened. On the first day, we had a meeting with a carriage of merchants that was going straight to our village, but we just greeted them and moved on.
We hadn't encountered any monsters or bandits during the trip, I have to say that it's been a very peaceful trip.
The adventurers also seemed more relaxed than the first day now, I feel like they shouldn't be doing it, anyway I'm here, so even if they keep acting that way, we are not in danger.
Now we were at our camp and getting ready to leave, it was the third day of the trip.
We were sleeping inside the carriage while the adventurers slept outside, they just put a blanket on the floor and were sleeping as if it were the most comfortable thing in the world.
I'm not used to sleeping like this anymore, I'm sure I wouldn't wake up well if I slept on the floor.
Inside the carriage, there were pillows that we could use, so we were not sleeping in such an uncomfortable way, unlike adventurers and also the coachman.
"So, should we get ready? I'm just going to feed the horses and we are going to continue the journey." The coachman said as he went to the back of the carriage. He opened a kind of "Chest" that was inside and took some of the feed for the horses.
And since we were already at the side of a lake, he also took the opportunity to give water to the horses, all of this so that we didn't have to stop until lunchtime.
And after continuing to wait a few more minutes, talking to the adventurers around a fire that was now out, the driver finished feeding and giving water to the horses, I could see that the horses were even happier.
So I took Lisandra's hand and we went inside the carriage again, then the adventurers also entered, one of them still looking a little sleepy, it seems that he was the last one to stand guard during the night.
I'm glad I didn't have to do this job.

"And then we found a dragon, and ..." Again Viaric was telling his absurd stories, while I was just pretending to be interested and paying attention around the road and the passing landscape.
I was still ignorant when it came to this world, even though I thought I had studied enough, I don't leave the village once, so looking at the landscape was a better pastime than listening to lies, don't you think?
During the whole trip, we passed a village, which was full of children waving at us as we passed.
They are so cute.
We also passed through a city, it was very close to the previous village, and it also looked like one, but it was a little more developed and populated, we don't stop, so the only thing I could do was see the buildings passing by and the residents looking at us curiously.
It was a very pleasant trip, I even fell asleep, I was only woken by Lisandra when it was time for lunch. I said I would be watching our surroundings since the men didn't seem to be doing this anymore.
But in the end, I just slept.
Now it was time for lunch, again we ate meat given by the coachman that was also kept in the "trunk" of the carriage, it was a meat that seemed to be being cooled by some kind of magic so as not to spoil.
Since it seemed to be of good quality and also a little frozen.
I think we also used the same thing at home, don't we? I remember looking at the freezer at home and finding some pebbles that emitted an intense cold, he must use the same thing here, it is a very convenient tool.
The meat that the coachman removed was a very large piece, so it was a little difficult for him to make a stand to roast it all at once, so with the help of the adventurers, he cut the meat into smaller pieces.
It was a success, and so we had a barbecue in the middle of the trip.
We also received some fruit from the coachman. That's fruits were very tasty and sweet, I think I had never eaten anything like that before, Lisandra was also eating this frantically, she seemed to have loved the taste.
'Maybe I should get some of these for her?' Then I will ask the coachman where to get these fruits, he must point me to a store.
After we finished our lunch, we waited for a while on the road, we were waiting for our fatigue to pass to continue the journey. And as I looked out over the horizon, I could see another carriage approaching on the road.
She was coming from the capital.
The carriage was even bigger than ours, a tall, sturdy man with a sword at his waist was commanding the carriage, he didn't have the face of a coachman, that hair stuck up, those scars across his face.
The closer the carriage approaches us, the worse I started to feel, the "coachman" started looking at us as he moved on, he seemed to be evaluating us, especially the adventurers.
Noticing the carriage, Viaric started to look confusedly at her who was approaching slowly. He is some kind of idiot?! Has something wrong here. Seeing that he wasn't going to do anything, I decided to say something.
I approached him and spoke in a voice low enough that it would not reach the ears of the man who was commanding the "enemy chariot".
"Hey, there's something wrong, don't you see?" I asked him and kept waiting for an answer: "Something wrong, what are you talking about?" After saying that, Viaric started waving to the stout man who was commanding the carriage, trying to look friendly.
'He's more stupid than I thought !!!' I started screaming in my mind as I watched the man jump out of the carriage and pull out his sword. After his movement, other people started to get out of the back of the carriage.
There were even women among them, but they weren't just any women, they had huge muscles in their bodies. Their hair was shaved only on one side, they had piercings across their faces in addition to holding swords in their hands.
With the movement of the people in the carriage, Viaric and his companions finally realized what was happening.
"You, go inside the carriage and hide, let's take care of it." Even though he looked scared at the number of people in front of him, Viaric said that with a fearless smile on his face.
What a stupid guy, he'll definitely die.
But I obeyed him and took Lisandra into the coach, of course, the coachman in our coach followed right behind. And after we were already inside the carriage, I started to observe the battle that was about to start.
I had to pay attention, I don't want to let them die here.. Even if they are stupid for not having noticed it before, I don't think they deserve to die.
