It Is Legal for an NPC Who Is Being Oppressed To Run Away

70 – All NPCs get involved.(4)

Life is always real. It was a maxim that he always cherished even before he became the leader of the thieves.

“Roll the rock!!!”

After someone’s voice echoed in the mountains, the sound of lightning striking in the dry sky began to resonate in the mountains.

Large rocks roll down from the sloping hill, completely blocking the road ahead of the carriage passing by. The horses pulling the wagon scream, and the coachman calms the horses in the sudden situation, but is shocked and panics.

“Abandon all your weapons and hand over your baggage and women!! Then, I’ll save your life!!”

The voices heard from the mountains on the hills were convinced of their overwhelming superiority, and in fact, if the wagons that were blocked in front were not cleared of the rocks, all of them would be shattered by the next rolling down rocks.

In an unfavorable situation that even a child could understand, the surrounding escorts and coachmen all began to be stunned.

“Four, bandits?!”

“Damn it!! Did those things take place in the gap where the demons attacked?!”

“Protect the middle carriage!!”

However, no one follows the words of a bandit like a fool. It’s hopeless, but there’s a guard, and even if there’s damage in an unfavorable fight, if you hold on, reinforcements will come someday.

After confirming their fighting intentions, the bandits immediately prepared to roll the next rock…

“attack!!!”

“Subdue the bandits!!!”

“Don’t let the rock roll!!!”

“W-what?!!”

“Kwaaa!!”

“Where are these from?!”

“Chief!! It’s a surprise attack!! A surprise attack from behind!!!”

“W-what?!!”

Aren’t the assailants, the traitors from the upper ranks, and themselves the only ones aware of the surprise attack here? Why is this situation suddenly unfolding?

The leader of the thieves widened his eyes at the absurd situation and started swinging his axe hastily.

Even if they were ambushed, those who spewed out the tremendous killing blows they promised yesterday would attack the wagon from the other direction. So, they can stay here. It was an action made with such a calculation.

“Assholes. Life is always a real battle.”

As soon as the adage he cherished pierced his ears from the outside, his vision was twisted in an instant.

“Chehehehe?!”

The leader, who was the strongest member of the group of bandits, collapses with his teeth splattered with a single punch from the man in gray.

And the escorts of the wagon chasing it.

Those who formed a guerrilla group to attack the rear of those preparing for a surprise attack chase after them in order not to miss them.

The escorts below also climbed the hill to prevent the rocks from rolling down in the melee, and the situation unfolds to support the bottom of the rocks with something else.

The raid ended in complete failure. It is a situation that can be thought of as such.

“Okay. Let’s go to the second round.”

However, the gray man immediately returns to the wagon train after confirming that the White Tiger woman is among the guerrillas.

Because the operation that Princess Blue Majo spoke of has not yet been completed.

“Miss. We completely prevented the bandits’ surprise attack.”

“You hired a good escort. Pay the golden adventurer who was said to be a mountain ranger double or even triple the compensation later.”

“Oh my, my master would be happy to hear it.”

Ragni is the real procession leader hiding in the central carriage of this carriage procession. I was with my wife at the top.

Last night, Jack suddenly brought up a story about assassins sent from the Empire.

He said that it seemed that bandits and assassins were colluding in the mountains and trying to ambush them.

I was wondering when the hell did I check the mountain like that again, but they said I did it while I was going to the bathroom for a while. But is that possible? Wasn’t it about 10 minutes long?

After all, Jack seems to have a lot of things to hide.

“You must have a high nose to think that a strong master is even competent. In addition, thanks to your ingenious strategy, the number of our escorts decreased.

“Whoops. Saying nothing, is it just a trick?”

Yes, it was a simple gimmick. Female employees who are included in the carriage procession, originally in charge of meals rather than escorts, tie their hair appropriately, put on helmets, and sit next to the coachman.

It is easy to think of it as an adventurer’s escort if you put on only pants and put on a sword.

And before the opponent arrives at a hill that is good for ambush, all the riders who really escort are placed on the side of the hill so that they can be seen by the opponent, and the rest are invisible to the opponent.

If the opponent had been checking to the front and the rear whenever they had time, this stupid strategy wouldn’t have worked, but this side had Jack, the mountain keeper.

In the mountains, it is impossible to pass his gaze and succeed in monitoring this side, unless you bring along the same mountain keeper.

While he was actually coming, Jack figured out where and how far the other person was being vigilant and checking this way, and let him know.

‘There it is. Even if those preparing on the other side knew about this, they probably wouldn’t tell the bandits.’

Rather, they probably thought it was an opportunity for Jack to move without me noticing them and leaving me here.

“Then, tell the Vice President to quickly remove the rock. We need to arrive before lunch today.”

“Yes, miss.”

“I’m going to get off here too.”

“Hmm? Why don’t you ride with me a little longer? It’s quite a pleasure talking to you. Besides, if I don’t repay you for preventing the enemy’s surprise attack so perfectly, the name of the top of Philia will fall.”

“Just paying more is enough. Thank you for your consideration.”

‘I’m just saying that I’m afraid that if I don’t get off right away, you’ll get caught up in it too.’

According to Jack, assassins in collusion with bandits are positioned in the mountains, so now is the right time to make a diversion.

Now that the guerrillas are chasing the bandits, the number of escorts for this carriage is small.

And even if there were a lot of them, I have no intention of shedding blood needlessly.

Just like that, Ragni refuses to speak to the woman from the top of Filia and immediately gets off the carriage and passes through the guards.

The gait looks like a normal gait returning to the carriage procession she originally guarded, so no one stops her or protects her.

so that.

-Pipipit.

Only one person saw the dagger flying towards her.

*

“No, they said to stay in the carriage for as long as possible, so why did you come out?”

“It came out after calculating the time until the master returned, but the other person is in a hurry.”

Nearly 10 daggers quietly flew at him.

Even when she sees the daggers that would have been lodged in her neck and face if I hadn’t hugged Ragni in an instant to avoid her, she said it with a smile.

Me indeed. At times like this, I’m secretly like a game boss, so I’m scared.

“I will pursue the enemy, Ragni returns to the carriage…”

“Take me with you too.”

“huh?”

The men who tried to assassinate Ragni started to lose their presence, so I tried to put her down, but she grabbed me by the shoulders and wouldn’t let go.

It would be possible to drop it by force, but her red eyes were different from usual and serious.

“Why did you bring me alone from the beginning? Was it to keep the assassins’ eyes away from Ira and everyone else?”

“…Uh. That’s right.”

ok i thought I have no intention of saying

Even if I had the Devil Mayor shut everything up, there’s no way she would work hard for us.

At all, I will strengthen the inspection of all imperial citizens entering from the empire, and I will block those with even the slightest flaws from entering Aigram.

If that happens, the opponent will try to make a forced breakthrough, and I thought that there was a possibility that sparks would fly to Ira and Ray nearby.

Rey or Gor might not feel threatened by their level of assassination, but fighting to protect a non-combatant Ira or Ragni would certainly be dangerous. So let’s draw the enemy’s gaze this way first from the beginning. That’s how I decided.

I deliberately didn’t tell Ragni about this, but, after all, it was all caught out.

“Are you disappointed?”

“No, not at all. It’s pretty neat for your judgment. If you’d told me about it while you were at home, I’d have asked you to take out the other person first in this way.”

Seeing Ragni say that he really doesn’t care at all that he was used as bait makes me feel a little sorry.

“But, even though it’s my job, you didn’t tell me and asked for my help right before the operation was over. Please grant at least one thing I wish for. I have to see those people myself.”

In other words, protect yourself and track down and catch them. Normally, I think this is quite an unreasonable number.

“Ha. Who is the master and who is the slave?”

“I am your b*tch, and you are my master.”

Ragni’s words, as he held my shoulder stronger, sounded like a joke, but were also serious. To the point where I knew it was something I said on purpose, trying to appear normal.

“Get on my back. And don’t let go of the back of my neck and keep your head down.”

“huh.”

When I drop her off and turn my back, Ragni immediately wraps his arms around my neck and clings to me.

It’s a shame that I can’t relax and feel the pleasant sensation and scent of the elastic touch on my back.

“Run with all your might. Close your eyes.”

“huh.”

Feeling Ragni’s voice calm down a bit, I immediately ran into the mountains.

*

“What on earth did you just see? Is it a monster?”

“Damn. Does it make sense to avoid all that? What the hell? You didn’t even see it coming?”

“The thieves weren’t too helpful, so I promise the next time. I’ll call in all of the Aigram infiltration team and aim for the time when they finish their quest and return.”

Could that be possible? Even now, when the princess did not know about her assassination, she was blocked like this. Now that you know self-assassination, it might be harder to kill.

It was an assassination aimed at a gap, thinking that the thieves had fallen into a trap as an opportunity, but I didn’t expect it to fail like this.

As assassins raised by the imperial chancellor, they are aware of the princess’s strange intelligence.

She also understands why people of high rank, such as the emperor and prime minister, have been afraid of her since childhood.

They were the ones who sometimes poisoned her food with just a little less than a lethal dose or created the atmosphere as if she was just trying without intending to assassinate her.

They understand that all of this was what the emperor ordered and that it was a threat to her to know fear and find a person’s heart, but in reality she overcame all the assassination threats with her own brain, and nothing changed. .

She was ordered to come and physically kill her, but at a glance, the gray-haired man next to her was the only person in charge of the force she lacked. That’s why he wanted to avoid a head-to-head match with the princess.

But if she’s already caught, all they have to do is kill her, even if they all die.

Failure is never forgiven…

“Thinking about wild things while bouncing into the mountains against the mountain keeper, go!!!”

The man’s vision shifted in an instant.
