The two sturdy men didn't seem to notice Roger approaching. They continued dragging the woman roughly, step by step toward a carriage. On the carriage, a coachman was waving impatiently at them, urging them constantly.
Roger walked up without a word and slammed both his fists into the backs of the two men's heads. They were likely only first-level warrior apprentices, and they collapsed instantly under the force. Without pausing, Roger lunged at the coachman.
The coachman saw the two men go down and was so terrified that he nearly pissed himself. Grabbing the whip, he tried to flee. But before the carriage could move, a foot smashed into his face and sent him flying. Roger peered into the carriage and saw some hemp ropes and cloth piled inside—likely meant to restrain the girl. He didn't let it go to waste, using the rope to tie the coachman tightly, then gagging him with the cloth.
