Surprising Even Breathing

4 – The most dangerous gang of bandits around here

To the left and to the right is a very high mountain valley.

2 to 30 riders in front.

While running away at the speed of a wagon, the thieves will unconditionally catch you.

The Dae-yeol stopped talking and took out their weapons, guarding against the enemy.

“Hello, did you say it was a thief?”

I opened the window and called the attendant.

“Yes, my prince.”

A knight gets off his horse and approaches, then comes out from a distance and, without seeing eye contact, lowers his head and replies.

“Are all thieves like this? There are more than 20 people on horseback.”

“They seem to be the most dangerous bandits around here. It is said to appear on the road from the Dragonian Kingdom to the Gloria Empire and harm passers-by.”

It looks pretty unusual for a thief.

How dare you block the Dragonians’ procession.

It’s not an unusually high gut, and it can’t be a dangerous thief.

“They are the most dangerous gang of bandits around here, so do they dare to stand in the way of Drake and the royal family?”

“that… … .”

At my question, the article trailed off.

The carriages of our procession were plainly engraved with drakes and royal patterns.

Even after seeing that, the thieves came, so it was a disgraceful thing for the royal family.

“I’m curious, what kind of guys are they?”

I decided to find out for myself.

I’m interested in the thieves.

Will they see me and run away? Or will he try to attack like the assassin who entered his bed last time?

I hope you don’t run away.

I welcome this opportunity to talk to new people.

Tuck, Tuck.

I walked to the front row where the captain of the escort and the thief were facing each other.

As I approached, the group of dragonians scattered to the sides as if pushed by an invisible hand.

No one can stand within a 3m radius of me.

At least, this was slightly improved by wearing a magic control bracelet and a cape.

Originally, I was afraid to approach within 10m.

“Drakan! You don’t have to come out here! We will take care of it on our own!”

My last name is Drakan.

Demesis Kal Leg Drakan.

This was my official full name.

As he himself stepped forward, the escort captain lowered his head in fright.

You don’t want to bother me.

“Okay. It came out because I was curious.”

“yes yes… … !”

The knight, who would normally have added a word or two to dissuade his master, immediately shut up.

I’m afraid to disobey my will.

This is a normal reaction of others to me.

“A new dragonian has arrived, what are you?”

“Muh, rude!”

A thief on horseback looked at me and asked.

The knight next to me was taken aback by his bold short words.

I winked at him and told him to be quiet.

It was the moment when the thief was curious and came out.

I will do the answer.

“This is a thief. I heard that you are the most dangerous gang of bandits around here. Why did you dare to block the way even after seeing the crest of our royal family?”

I looked at the thief and asked.

Startle.

The thief, who involuntarily convulsed at the low-pitched voice, looked at me closely.

I want to know what kind of guy you are.

A gray hood and cape covering the face.

When the plain-looking Dragonian stepped forward, all the dragons around him avoided him and respected him.

“Huh, that’s a pathetic question. Why would I block your path? It’s like killing everyone and taking what you have. Dumb and arrogant dragons, did you think all humans would be afraid of you?”

gasp.

The thief’s cheeky remark shocked the dragons.

They couldn’t have imagined me being insulted.

I was so surprised that I couldn’t even get angry at the thief and looked at me with a dumbfounded expression.

How come you are one step further away from me?

“Poor, stupid, and arrogant, that’s a word I’ve never heard of. Are you saying you’re not afraid of me?”

“If I was afraid, would I have come out to rob you like this? Are you the kind of person who only asks weird questions? Don’t talk, get down on your knees and pray, dragons. Then it might just save your life.”

“I am really glad to hear that I am not afraid.”

I flipped the hood and tucked it behind my head.

I wanted to know if this cloak and bracelet were hiding my aura so he wasn’t afraid of me, or if he really wasn’t afraid of me.

Huh Eok.

The thief, who took off his hood and made direct eye contact with me, fell off his horse in a panic.

Fear spreads among the bandits like a plague.

*

“Didn’t you just say you weren’t afraid?”

I trudged toward the bandits.

I am just walking.

The only thing exposed from my body was my face, and I must have concealed my energy with a cloak and bracelet.

However, they were terrified.

Hee!

shaking.

hee hee hee!

Like the thief who met my eyes, there were people who lost their reins and collapsed, and there were also thieves who fainted.

The horses that fell in the distance made a howl, and the beasts in the short range only let out thin moans as they couldn’t move.

“Keep talking. I was happy to talk with you.”

“Ahh.”

I asked the leader of the thieves who mocked me.

He was floundering on the floor, floundering like an insect.

He couldn’t think of looking at me sarcastically like before, and he repeated his breathless sound without being able to answer my question.

“pathetic. stupid. Arrogant. It was the first word I ever heard. Your sarcasm towards me was also novel. Try playing with your mouth more.”

“Ahhh, uhhhhh.”

The thief, who was making a sick expression, was distorted by my words and finally started to vomit.

It squeezes its chest and spits bright yellow gastric juice onto the ground.

It was only then that the thieves realized what they had done and their faces turned pale.

He got off his horse, knelt down, and bowed his head.

“Didn’t I tell you to vomit?”

I lifted the fallen thief from the floor with telekinesis.

After receiving the dragon heart, he lay in bed for 10 years and there was nothing he could do.

So I learned how to manipulate magic.

It lifts objects with telekinesis even at a distance that is out of reach.

“Kuuu”

A thief with a messed up face and tears streaming down his face.

I was lifted up by my own strength and forcibly made eye contact with me.

before falling asleep.

I might die of shock.

“Sorry. I was genuinely happy. You were not afraid of me and answered so comfortably, I believed you would be different. But it was just the effect of the hood covering my face.”

“Lord, die… Lord, die a sin…!”

The thief couldn’t even plead for faults.

In fear, they forgot even the language.

I lifted it up to look at my face, but the eyes that turned around never met my focus.

“Capture all these bandits. I will slowly ask you why you attacked our royal family.”

“I accept your order!”

The Dragonians bowed their heads to me as they looked at the bandits who were quickly cleaned up.

No bandits dared to resist.

Those who had already lost their will to fight lowered their heads flat, and the swift horses they brought also felt terribly frightened and prostrated themselves like dogs.

“You will not kill. Let’s talk with me.”

“Huh.”

There were many things I wanted to ask the leader of the thieves.

How often did this gang of bandits attack the dragonians, what confidence had stopped even the procession of the royal family, and where their base was.

I’m going to personally ask if I can talk to me again.

The thief mischievously twisted his tear-stained face.

Usually, others are afraid of being alone with me more than death.

“Your bandits have a lot of experience hunting dragonians. That’s why I was able to point the blade at the royal family.”

“yes… … .”

The thief, who had Q&A time with me, had a face as if a screw had been loosened.

She suffers a nervous breakdown and loses her reason.

The time he spent with such a frightening being stopped dyeing his mind pure white.

“It makes me feel a little uncomfortable that bandits like that are hunting down dragonians and blocking the royal family’s procession. I don’t care what you do, but if you leave it unattended, your people will suffer.”

It’s okay to point a knife at me.

It’s nothing more than a pastime, just like the one who saved the assassin’s life before.

Even when a rat takes a toothpick and scratches it, it looks cute and pitiful.

However, if the bandits attack my people, and even if they are actually taking damage, it doesn’t end as a joke.

As the prince of the kingdom, he had to take appropriate measures.

“Take me to the headquarters of your bandits. From now on, you will not be able to attack the Dragonians. You will not be able to raid passers-by in such a mountain valley, and you will be punished appropriately for what you have done thus far.”

“all right. All right.”

The thief muttered in a weak voice and started guiding me to the base of the bandits.

There was no need to be reprimanded or tortured.

When I ask, he usually responds kindly like this.

It’s probably that you don’t even have the heart to disobey.

“I don’t intend to look after you just because you guided me. After that, follow the dragonian into the kingdom and receive a fair trial.”

“Thank you, just thank you.”

The thief, who seemed to have gone to hell three times just because he was alone with me, accepted any command with pleasure.

“Wireka. We follow the bandits’ guidance and enter the enemy’s headquarters. There is a lot of time left before heading to the imperial capital, so I will deal with these bandits and go.”

“yes! Prince!”

When I ordered the escort captain to turn the horse’s head, he quickly grabbed the reins and changed direction.

I plan to get rid of the bandits who dare to hunt dragonians on the way so that they don’t exist anymore.

Doo doo doo.

No one disputed or questioned my order.

We headed to the thieves’ headquarters, leaving behind a few dragonians to escort the captured thieves back to the kingdom.

“From here on, I go up alone.”

The enemy’s stronghold was a mountain that could not be climbed by wagon.

I got off the carriage and told the captain of the escort.

“But, Prince, there will be an enemy attack.”

As the captain of the escort, he was worried about entering the base of the bandits by himself.

Rather than really worrying about my safety, it was an answer that was faithful to my duty as the captain of the escort.

“Okay. I will erase this mountain and let the world know what will become of the humans who attacked the Dragonians, so it is rather dangerous if other personnel follow. wait for me.”

“all right!”

No matter how much he is the captain of the escort, he will not have the courage to refuse my words twice.

I led the thief to guide me and entered the headquarters of the bandits.
