John was calm as if nothing had happened, after all, it wasn't the first time he'd killed someone. Although he worked in intelligence at the CIA on Earth, he still had mandatory field missions, and sometimes these missions required killing someone to protect his life and that of his companions.
The CIA would offer psychological counseling before any mission, so he was calm, the only difference is that he never killed using a bladed weapon.
Alex was a little disturbed but he composed himself when he saw John's calmness, little Isa on the other hand was even more scared and her heart was beating fast, but John managed to calm her down.
John's concern was that the guy who was going to provide information was now dead, she now had to think of another plan.
Now that the bandit was dead, John's plan to get information went down the drain , now they had to be quick in making a decision, the bandits inside the cabin must have surely noticed that something must be wrong outside.
John had something in mind: first, escape as quickly as possible and call someone at the castle to deal with the situation. Second, enter the cabin and launch a surprise attack and rescue the prisoners. In the first case, it wouldn't be possible, since one of them is dead as soon as they are discovered, they wouldn't wait, but the bandits would leave immediately. In the second case, it would be very dangerous, but they would have a chance .

Inside the cabin.
Some time passed and the bandit that was sent still hadn't returned, the boss's brow was furrowed, he could feel something strange in the air.
"You three , go take a look."
The three bandits obeyed and left the hut, one holding a sword and the other two each holding a spear. The chief gathered the two prisoners, preparing to leave at any moment. If something unexpected happened, he would abandon his bandits and leave with the two women. After all, for the chief, honor was for fools.
***
John made his decision, they face the bandits together, even if the two of them couldn't win, they would still be able to escape relying on their speed
Alex agreed to face it, but when John mentioned running away, he made a face, but in the end he still agreed, Alex did not fear for his life, but the life of his young lord must be preserved no matter what .
John looked around. He knew that going into a fight where the opponents' strength was unknown, it was best to be able to rely on the terrain at his disposal; this would be an advantage both in fighting and in fleeing. It took him only a moment to familiarize himself with the terrain.
he saw some old barrels filled with waters that were everywhere, he could also see a bald tree, he could use his speed and agility to move between the barrels, the tree and also use the alley of the other hut to restrict his opponent's movement.
John asked Isa to hide in an empty barrel.
"Iza, you stay here and don't leave for anything. Unless I call you, you must not leave. They still don't know where you are, the only one who knew is dead."
Iza nodded, got into the barrel and said.
" John, Alex , be careful."
"Don't worry, we'll be careful." John spoke, and almost at the same time Alex spoke too.
"No need to worry."
The two hid behind the tree, Alex remained with the stake, John took the old sword of the bandit who was lying dead, they left the bandit's corpse to be discovered at first sight.
John saw the cabin door open and three bandits came out of it, he held the sword tightly in his hand, his heart was beating faster and faster, he forced himself to calm down by taking a deep breath, he looked at Alex and saw the anxiety in his eyes, but there was no fear in them.
John fixed his eyes on the three bandits, they didn't look impressive at all, they just seemed a little stronger than the bandit he killed, the bandits saw the body of their companion lying on the ground, they approached, the bandit holding the sword bent down and felt his companion's pulse and came to the conclusion that he was dead, John heard him saying.
"He's dead, Chip will inform Chief Cancer and I will try to find who did this. If.. "
The bandit had his back turned to the tree, before the bandit finished his words, Alex with his stake firmly held jumped towards the bandit who was holding the sword, the bandit was crouched, Alex aimed at the bandit's head
He wanted to take him down with just one blow, just like John did with the previous bandit. Alex held nothing back , he used all his strength in this blow. The bandit felt a cold wind coming from behind, and without thinking, he raised his sword.
Beng .
The sound of metal clashing rang out. Alex hit the bandit's sword with the stake. Because he was hit in a half- raised position, the bandit lost his balance and fell backward, nearly dropping his sword. The bandit's hand was numb, the stake was heavy.
Alex saw his opportunity and he was about to attack again, but the two bandits charged at him with their spears.
Alex blocked a spear with his stake and when the other spear was about to hit him he dodged it and jumped back away from the two, but they didn't want to give Alex room to breathe, they chased and shot again.
The bandit with the sword who was knocked down by Alex got up and tried to join his companions, when again he felt something behind, he turned quickly and saw a sword coming towards his head, he jumped back.
The downward sword strike aimed at the bandit's head only slightly injured his left arm, a light, superficial cut on his shoulder.
"Who the hell are you? "
The bandit asked, he couldn't understand why two children were aiming for his head, he was almost killed twice today, the bandit was angry, but he was also cautious, he felt the strength of the two children with the previous exchange, no matter the stake or the sword, both had strength compared to his, how is this possible? They are just children, how can they be so strong?
John saw that his surprise attack didn't work as it should, he felt discouraged, he tried again, using all his strength John launched two blows aimed at the neck and chest, but both were easily blocked, the bandit was more experienced using the sword compared to John, he saw the bandit smiling coldly.
" Hahaha Hahaha , you children will meet your deaths. You must be the children of some nobles preparing for your first evolution, very well since you only have strength and no experience, it will be fitting for you to die at my hands today."
John felt a chill at the bandit's sinister laughter. A V-shaped sword flew toward John. He didn't try to block it, just dodged to the left, and the sword hit a barrel full of water. The bandit's sword got stuck, and John saw his chance to take his opponent's life.
