Chapter 46: Huge Issue [1]

It was an easy task to subdue the bandits.

All i have to do is double the number of bones in my body. But I didn't rush in.

'First, let's find out why it turned out like this.'

Isn't it amazing? A close friendship with the emperor... In reality, it's not like that, but it's a royal procession that looks like it anyway.

Even if they met a noble of some rank, they had to bow their head first. I couldn't understand at all what they believed in to act like that.

"I guess it makes the most sense to think that they took the drugs as a group. Huh?"

As I looked around, muttering to myself, a certain scene suddenly caught my eye.

The Carriers family crest, woven around a pole. Somehow, a lowly bandit got involved.

These guys thought I was just a regular peddler and came out to rob me.

If only the majestic sentences weren't there, it would have looked like the top. I'm carrying a lot of supplies for the Governor-General's Office.

'It's funny. To encounter things like this from the beginning.'

Anyone could tell that he was not a serf who ran away because it was difficult to make a living. Even so, the equipment, personnel, and surrounding formation were specialized.

"Who are you...?"

I was about to start looking up the name when the character information window suddenly popped up. It seemed that now i could use the system functions just by looking at the opponent.

'It's great that I don't need to give my full name. It saves me from a lot of hassle.'

**Person Information**

Name: Arzahill

Status: Professional Bandit

Position: Junior

Relationship: No acquaintance

Status: Confident with a strong backing, prestige greater than one's ability

Overall Ability: D

The opponent's information was as expected. It was no different from the bandits I had seen in the Rellbrandt Estate.

I'm just going to roughly clean up these guys and leave? The remnants will gather again and do similar things.

They will rob everyone, whether they are a merchant, a traveler, or a high-class person. It didn't seem like a bad idea to just uproot it while also unlocking it.

'Another way to look after the people's livelihood.'

How much must these rotten bastards have tormented people? I glanced to my right and blurted out a word.

"Sir McNeil. Take care of it."

"..."

One, there was no response. As awkward silence lingered, the bandits burst into boisterous laughter.

"Hahaha! This is funny."

"You're acting like you're some kind of noble. There's no one more worth toying with than a vain fool."

"Stop talking nonsense and give me everything you have."

I felt quite embarrassed because I felt like I was just acting all alone. I furrowed my brow and touched the shadow next to the carriage.

"No, you're a knight escort, so why don't you do something like this?"

Swish.

Only then does Cordell McNeil reveal himself. He shrugged his shoulders and answered as if it were no big deal.

"I am not a sword that Your Majesty can swing around freely. I am a bodyguard who only comes out in times of danger."

"Isn't this a very unstable situation? There are a lot of bandits up ahead."

"It doesn't look like anything special."

Actually, Cordell was right.

There were just a lot of bandits, but there weren't any skilled ones in sight. All it took was a few swings of the gavel, without even having to test out any new skills.

'Still, I want to use that guy who only eats my food for free.'

Honestly, isn't that true? How much danger can there be for me, who only goes back and forth between the mansion and the courthouse?

Of course, there was a guy named Peltron who attempted to assassinate me by manipulating the northern nomads.

But after that one failure, there was no news from the director. So in reality, Cordell is no different from a rice burrower.

"Even like this?"

I trudged forward and found myself surrounded. Then the bandits threw a noose and captured me.

"Why are you doing this when you can handle it all with your bare hands?"

Cordell let out a short sigh with a look of disbelief.

It seemed as if he was asking if it was necessary to continue doing such strange things. It goes without saying, but I seriously intended to do so. I'm a person who overturns common sense. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Don't move! If you do something foolish, your master will not be safe!"

Before I knew it, a wide blade was placed around my neck.

A desperate situation where even a slight touch could put one's life in danger. If he were to call himself an escort knight, he would have no choice but to move.

'I wonder if he's a black agent or something, let's see what his skills are.'

One, Cordell just hides behind the carriage.

He didn't do anything. The mercenaries I hired last time are preparing for battle.

'How can hired mercenaries be more trustworthy?'

Normally, if you were a mercenary, it would be normal for you to jump out when you were at a disadvantage.

But the mercenaries who went with me to the Relbrandt estate were quite different.

"To risk your life for the safety of your comrades… As rumored, you are a righteous person."

"Your Majesty, Carrier! Even if my body is slaughtered, I will definitely save you."

"To oppress such a great person, they are truly unspeakable."

No, why is the accident circuit connected to that side?

I just brought this situation on myself to tease that Cordell guy. It must have seemed like a noble sacrifice to the mercenaries.

As the atmosphere flowed that way, the porters' eyes also changed.

"Ah! His Majesty risked his life for us."

"I will definitely respond."

"Let's go!"

The western expedition involved thirty porters and six mercenaries. In terms of scale, they were not much different from the bandits.

One, the allies had incredibly strong psychic armament. The bandits could not help but be bewildered by the crowd of people rushing at them like zombies, regardless of whether it was water or fire.

"Huh? No, if you do this, your master will die?"

"Hey, you little shits! Listen to me."

"Let's solve it through words!"

He must have been so terrified that the bandits were actually telling them to calm down.
