Bab 242: Split

As the four of them were riding toward the capital at full speed, Leo kept an eye on the group pursuing them. They had stopped momentarily before splitting up. Now they had a group of 5 people chasing them, all 3rd Circle Aura Knights.

He didn't tell this information to Damian yet. The reason was that the attackers were almost half a mile away. Showing off his perception wouldn't be very helpful, so he would give them the information once the distance between them closed down.

At this point, everyone seemed to know that they were going to get caught. The horses they had were worse than those of the pursuers. The dull faces of the people around him showed their lack of will.

A few minutes later, Leo decided to tell them about the incoming horsemen. They were going to catch up to them in a few more minutes and Damian would need at least that much time to make a plan.

"Damian, they are closing in. I give us 5 more minutes," Leo said.
