Carrus continues to run at the pace Achilles sets, looking ahead to see if he can see Cybele's bird form, and trusting all his companions to do their part. He will indeed offer a prayer for those slain in this attack, but will wait until he is sure the danger has passed.
(Presumably they are not dashing now, so will advance 30 feet at a time?).
Anax you are transfixed on the Wagon, what could've done this? Did the Minotaurs get pass Athens already?
Carrus you see a shift in the tall grass and cornstalk to the right of the road near the Wagon, It's a weird movement for the vegetation. Given that there is barely a breeze and no where near enough of one to move the grass like that. On the left side you see your Hawk companion hopping around, the grass is lower here as it leads down into a bank and further down into a small stream. You cant see what the Hawk is looking at from this position.
60 feet away from the Wagon.

Movement. Grass to the right. Near the wagon. Carrus takes care not to react visibly to what he has seen, but keeps his lip movements small, his gaze fixed to the front and his pace steady as he runs. He tries to keep his voice clear for the three men around him, but quiet enough not to alert anyone else who might be listening.
Hearing the warning from the Hawk. "We play along, On your guard. If they attack, Put them down." Achilles is steel-faced as he moves forward. Eventually the group does get to the wagon. There are a few moments of Silence as Cybele circles over hear.
There is a rustling from the grass as four men, Dressed in black with wooden masks come charging out with Scimitars in hand. From the left side of the Road, the halfling shoots up and grabs a shortbow from under the carcass of the Child.
From a nearby bush a Woman steps out, a black hood over her head but from it you can see long white hair a blue-ish complexion to her skin, In her left hand she holds a long staff.
Because of Cybele and Carrus, The surprise attack did not happen.

Thanks to the warning in Advance, Achilles was on alert and ready when the initial four bandits charged out of the grass. He runs straight for the four of them, Pulling his two Xiphos from their sheaths as he flings the shield over his shoulder and onto his back. Making a attack at each one of them as he runs into the middle of them.
Achilles first strike catches the Arm of the First bandit and slices a clean cut straight up the forearm and bicep. Ducking and spinning he catches the neck of the second bandit and slices his head clean off.
The third Bandit suffers a cut to his thigh and gasps aloud in pain. For his last Achilles leaps into the air and drives one of his blades straight into the clavicle of the fourth Bandit, Sinking the blade straight to hilt before pulling it back. The bandit doesn't even make a noise as he too falls to the ground, Unmoving.
Two bandits remain after Achilles attack.

Seeing the General wade into the masked men, Carrus turns his attention to the hooded woman. As he charges towards her, he roars the words that will, if the Gods will it, curse her with blindness (Bonus Action: Blinding Smite. As he reaches her, he makes two attacks:
Attack: 13 Damage: 11
Attack: 14 Damage: 9
(Channel divinity - Guided Strike - to add +10 to the second attack roll)
If either of those hits, the Blinding Smite gives an additional 11 radiant damage, and she must make a CON save against 17 or be blinded.

Carrus rushes the Hooded woman who was seemingly preparing to use some kind of magic. Seeing the opportunity for an easy attack He raises his Longsword and brings it down onto her Shoulder. The Blade sinks an inch before it meets bone and stops. As you pull the blade free there is a flash of blinding light from your weapon that causes the Woman to rear back. Giving you time to line up another swing of your blade. Slashing it straight across her mid Section.
Woman CON save vs 17: 15 Her eyes seem to flutter as she begins to rub them with her free hand, She is Blinded.
Cybele and the halfling are up!
The Halfling, Watching Carrus strike into the nearby Ally of his. Pulls a Scimitar from his belt and rushes at the Paladin. Making three swipes with the blade towards you Carrus.
Cybele will swoop down and land 30ft away from the halfling that is attacking Carrus. She will transform back to her normal self (bonus action) and cast Hold Person on the halfling- DC 17 WIS save.

The Halfling just barely manages to overcome your attempt to Hold him Cybele.
Next up is Anaxandros and the Woman.
The Woman, who is blind. Grasps her staff in her hand tightly, Her free hand touches her stomach and she Casts Darkness On herself.
The Woman,Halfling and Carrus are all enveloped in a Sphere of Darkness. None of you can see any of them. You are considered Blinded While in the Sphere.

Not Dashing just regular movement so you will get there in 3-4 rounds. During this time Cybele can decide what to do with the Information.

Anax is keeping pace with the warriors, with an action readied to throw a couple of javelin if anything attacks.

Dicaeus, after saying his piece, falls back 15 feet and then keeps pace, still ready to provide himself cover in the form of darkness.

Realizing that this is a set up, Cybele will flap back up into the air and dash back toward the group with a warning cry.

Dicaeus keeps his pace as well. ”Acknowledged. Cybele seems to have seen something as well. General, how do you want to proceed?”
