Chapter 18.1: Knight, Merchant, Mercenary, Slave (3)
They target travelers, pilgrims, or merchants who are unarmed or look weak, and who travel alone. There was no need to risk attacking a carriage that was escorted by nine mercenaries.

“I’m sorry about this.”

“Not at all, Sir Knight.”
ᅠ
Goran bowed politely and then went about his business. As a noble in the group, he had no need to do menial tasks or stand guard.
ᅠ
‘Social status is indeed convenient.’
ᅠ
In this era, social status held absolute authority. In general circumstances, just revealing one’s status could earn them special treatment.
ᅠ
While the mercenaries lit a fire and selected sentries for the night watch, Johan could rest comfortably after removing his armor. Of course, he didn’t take off all his inner gear. He couldn’t fully trust everyone. There are always bold and audacious people in the world.
ᅠ
‘Following Eldans to the city might not be a bad idea.’
ᅠ
Since he seemed to have made a good impression on Eldans, going to the city for an introduction seemed like a good plan. Everything becomes easier with a guide, and he had some money too.
ᅠ
‘I’ve heard there are dwarf craftsmen in the city, not just in the Dwarf Mountains.’
ᅠ
He wanted to get a weapon first, if possible. The current longsword felt a bit unreliable. He carried it because it would look odd without one. . .
ᅠ
“This is too humble for Sir Johan to eat. . .”
ᅠ
“What would a traveler have to fuss about?”
ᅠ
ᅠ
Of course, that didn’t mean Khan was kind to the rookie. The newcomer had to learn and adapt on his own. Not beating him up was kindness enough. Other mercenaries typically learned through beatings and menial tasks.
ᅠ
‘Is it because he’s not beaten up?’
ᅠ
Khan pondered whether to hit Gamson a few times but then decided against it. It would be silly for him to step in when the mercenary Captain Goran was there.
ᅠ
Gamson was mistaken about nobility, having never seen one. He had spent his life in a remote village, only to flee with a passing mercenary band.
ᅠ
Nobles were not scary because of the soldiers they commanded; their terror lay in their backgrounds. That’s why even the most worn-out mercenaries wouldn’t target nobles in public places. Especially if they didn’t want to be pursued for life.
ᅠ
What if that noble was a well-trained knight?
ᅠ
That alone made them a fearsome presence. Khan glanced at Johan, who was sleeping but still exuded an intimidating aura. His large physique and well-trained body, along with equipment far superior to that of ordinary mercenaries, spoke volumes.
ᅠ
“Come on, there are nine of us. Are we really afraid of just one knight?”
ᅠ
“Nine or twenty, it doesn’t work with knights, Gamson. You’ve never been on a battlefield, it’s obvious, so stop blabbering.”
ᅠ
“What are you talking about, Mr. Khan? I’ve been in two wars. . .”
ᅠ
“Probably just goblin raids in the village. Ever been in a real fiefdom war? If you had, you wouldn’t be so clumsy. Have you even seen a knight? Do you know how mercenaries react when a knight charges at them on horseback?”
ᅠ
“. . . . . .”
ᅠ
“Hundreds of mercenaries run away crying. They’re not cowards; they know the front few will just die. Don’t mess with knights. Pretending to be tough only exposes your ignorance.”
ᅠ
Gamson’s face trembled. Back in the village, he was feared by other youths, but now in the mercenary band, no one treated him well. Ignored and scolded for speaking, he didn’t realize that not being beaten was something to be grateful for. He took Khan’s advice as an insult. Turning his head, Gamson muttered.
