Kidnapping ca... wait, WHAT?!

Seeing the emperor griffin land so abruptly, and its rider - a brown-haired girl - catching one of their own, the villagers started screaming in panic and running away.

Yeah...

As if!

----

"Hostiles on the premise! Take them out immediately!"

Every single person charged towards the monster with their bodies shining with skills.

All forty or so 'villagers' with no exception but with perfect coordination as if they were prepared for that exact situation.

----

"Damn it! Blueberry, pull up!"

Mary freaked out, released the hooded man, and pulled on the griffin's feathers.

"Skwee! (We can take them on!)"

Blueberry screeched in response and her wings, claws, and beak started shining as she disobeyed her master and begun a counterattack.

*SWOOSH*
