It all happened so suddenly. Under normal circumstances, because of Guts and Casca, they would be attacked by some dark creatures at night.
That was only to be expected. During the day, however, dark creatures rarely came to attack them. Besides, Lin Yun and the others kept Sleeping God Eye active almost the entire time, monitoring all life within an 18-meter radius.
What Lin Yun hadn't expected was that, under the broad daylight and clear skies, someone would actually snipe at them from eight hundred meters away...
The Border Prince Territory was already getting close to the Badlands.
So, except for a few scattered places and the areas near the Black Mountains, there were hardly any forests or mountains.
As a result...

And so... while Lin Yun and the others were eating hot pot and singing—no, marching along the road—ten enormous siege crossbow bolts suddenly came flying from far away, hurtling toward them.
Yes, all ten were aimed at different targets, including Casca
