The man were startled by the thief's intimidation and start shaking even stronger. Seeing this Arl couldn't help but to wonder who the real bad guy here. If that man didn't wear such heavy armor, they might able to see his sweats flowing endlessly through his skin. However, despite being clearly haunted by fear, the man still refuse to let go his sword or even plead for mercy.

"No, for the sake of justice, I mustn't back off now!" The man shouted, taking sturdier pose. Something the man said caught Arl's attention, but before he able to react properly. *SWOOSH* *BUMP* A rock.. pebbles? are being shot at them rapidly. Arl manage to glance at the direction of where the rock was shot from. It's those kids again, shooting with slingshots and throwing rocks at them. 

"Hei, didn't your mother told you to never shot others with those things!" 

Arl had completely lost his composer and yelled at them. However the rain of attack doesn't stop. Arl quickly took refuges behind the carriage.

[i]"Go Aian, get rid of those bandits!" "Yeah, for justice!" "Take down those meanie people!" "Don't stop! Keep shooting!"[/i] cheered the children. "Nnn! I will, I WILL PROTECT THIS LAND! HYAAAAAAH!!!" the man, encouraged by the cheers, march forth and swung his giant sword. What a tear jerking scene, Arl thought for a moment. But the man's power were not as expected. From the looks of it, the man are just a sissy guy with a huge body, but turned out his power are far beyond that. Just by one hit, the ground shakes. The shock from the impact causes dust to fly around, hindering their vision. Few seconds later, the dusts start to fade away, revealing the cracked ground, all accomplished by the man's sheer power alone.

"Oi, Erva, do something about the kids with your arrows!" shouted Arl. The man sure is strong, but it's highly doubtful that he can win against four of them. The problem is the kids who were hindering them with all those puny rocks. If they didn't do anything about them, then it's over.
