An Extra Who Wants To Escape The Obsessive Male Lead - Chapter 105.1
Chapter 105.1
“Multiple enemy troops confirmed in the front.”
Rick and Nira, leading the Argenta forces, mercilessly routed the Alors troops. Most of the Alors troops, divided into eight groups, had already been disintegrated.
‘What the hell are those b*st*rds!’
‘They are Argenta troops!’
Perhaps the rumor had spread among the Alors troops as soon as they started attacking two of the eight groups. The commanders guarding five of the remaining six groups had vanished as if they had evaporated on the spot.
They were all distant relatives of Duke Alors and loyal subjects who followed him.
“It seems everyone else has fled.”
“The remaining troops are all gathered in one place.”
Rick and the intelligence officer exchanged information. The next moment, Rick smiled, twisting his lips.
“Then, the other commanders might be there too.”
“According to the interrogation during the suppression, they also seemed unaware of the commanders’ whereabouts.”
If they had gathered their troops to respond, the commanders would naturally have known about it.
Rick narrowed his eyes.
Neigh!
However, he soon stopped worrying and urged his horse forward. The key to this raid was to move quickly, to quickly eliminate those whose water powers had weakened with the change of Alors’ head.
Besides, on their side…
“….”
Nira, who had been running silently with a serious expression since earlier, was there. Rick rode his fast horse and approached him.
“We are approaching the battlefield, but you seem troubled.”
Nira looked at the man approaching with a smile as bright as sunshine. Unlike others who got nervous as they got closer to the battlefield, he was full of bright smiles.
“Are you worried about something?”
It was a skill to have a conversation while riding a running horse. Ordinary people wouldn’t even dare to open their mouths, saying that they might bite their tongues, though he was different. And the same goes for Nira.
“…A little.”
Nira replied with a serious face.
“….?”
Rick tilted his head.
It was nothing complicated by his standards. Alors had lost a lot of power as they had expected, and they were naturally caught off guard, thinking they would overwhelm Argenta. On the other hand, on their side…
Swoosh!
Nira, who had received the water ability directly from the new head of Alors, was here.
Rick recalled the water vortex that had swept across the battlefield just moments ago. It was a threatening and admirable power, so much so that it was thrilling even to think of facing it as an ally. He was an overwhelming force in Alors, where water was everywhere.
He was becoming the strongest force, just as the Madam had intended.
“It’s to announce the birth of a new head.”
“If he were this strong, they would think about how strong I am who gave him the power.”
It was also because he knew the ways and geography of Alors well, but Nira was here because of Krua’s words. The main reason was to let the people of Alors territory know how powerful the new head was. In other words, Krua’s reputation depended on how strongly he wielded his abilities.
However.
Nira had not been confident even though he had been stirring up the battlefield.
‘It’s Argenta!’
The people of Alors who saw the flames of Argenta did not think of him as Alors.
It was because only those in high positions among the assassins could recognize his face, and Nira was heavy-hearted because of that.
“Don’t get hurt.”
His master said, but was he doing this job well?
“What are you so worried about?”
Rick opened his hand.
He didn’t even hold the reins properly while riding a running horse, as if he didn’t even consider the possibility that he would fall.
And he was capable of doing so.
“Didn’t the Madam entrust you with the task because she trusted you?”
At those words, Nira nodded.
“That’s the problem.”
Nira’s worried face met Rick’s expression of incomprehension.
“Why is that a problem?”
“What if I don’t perform well? Wouldn’t that tarnish the master’s honor?”
Nira was suffering from a heavy responsibility.
Besides, there were no high-ranking assassins in the places they had attacked so far. They would probably be all gathered in the remaining one. And even though they might be weaker in water control than him now, they were not opponents to be underestimated.
He knew that because he was an assassin of Alors.
“If I fail to handle this properly.”
Nira looked back at Rick, thinking of the aftermath. He had lived almost his entire life thinking of Argenta as his enemy. However, Argenta, which he had seen with his master, was also a place where people lived, and it was even more humane than Alors.
In addition, they had accepted his master, who had the ability of Alors, as a complete insider and served her sincerely.
That’s why he could say it.
“If I make a mistake, please make sure to complete my mission. At least so that the master will have no problem ruling Alors.”
Nira said in a determined voice.
At those loyal words, Rick’s expression turned strange.
“What are you talking about?”
He really couldn’t understand. No, if the master entrusted him with a big job because she believed in his ability, wouldn’t it be enough to just do the job? Did he think his master made the wrong choice?
“Don’t tell me you think the master made the wrong judgment by entrusting this place to you, Nira?”
“That’s not it, but―”
Rick cut off his words curtly.
“Do you think the master would send you as a pawn?”
At that, Nira immediately shook his head.
“Don’t say you’re risking your life.”
Wasn’t that what the master said?
“She entrusted you with this task because she believes you will handle it easily and return.”
Rick said with a matter-of-fact face.
“Are you trying to prove the Madam’s judgment wrong?”
