The Patissier and the Fief's Defense Line With the bandits only days away Casserole orders all crops harvested, all water sources blocked up and all his people to gather in his village with the crops to draw the bandits directly to them, reducing collateral damage from the expected battle. The bandits arrive, hungry and eager to plunder the crops. Fearing he will never realise his dream of creating desserts Pastry begins planning a defensive strategy. Casserole discovers the bandits are all ex-cavalry who deserted from the army, leading a group of prisoners as human shields. They lure the cavalry in close where Pastry and the village children cause chaos with slingshots and flaming arrows. As the bandits make their way inside they kill several villagers and Pastry is taken hostage by the bandit’s leader. Having fallen into his trap Pastry reveals his Replication ability can copy absolutely anything he sees, so he “copies” one bandits fire burned face onto all the bandits, crippling them with the pain and ending the battle in an instant.
