Chapter 19.2: Knight, Merchant, Mercenary, Slave (4)

As Johan advanced, swinging his mace, three fell, blood spraying. A blow to the torso was severely damaging. Johan smiled contentedly. The weapon, found on the road, was useful.



As more than half fell, the remaining mercenaries began to flee without orders. Johan was puzzled.

ᅠThe origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

‘Did I kill the Captain?’



On second thought, one of the men he killed, who wielded a shortsword, did seem like a Captain. . .



Johan quickly pursued, striking the leg of the furthest man. No need to capture all. Just enough to interrogate.



‘Two or three should do.’



Better than just one. Johan broke the fallen man’s leg, more painfully for being an archer.



“Aaaaagh!”



As Johan chased, the mercenaries threw their weapons and fled, shivering at the thought of him following.



Thud!



He managed to catch another. As the opponent drew a dagger, Johan slapped both cheeks.



“You b*stard. . .”



The opponent, still venomous, continued to talk. Johan broke one arm to prevent mischief, then the other as the eyes still showed life. Then the opponent cried out.



“Ah, my lord. I was wrong!”



“Realize your mistake?”



“Yes! Yes! Deeply!”



Unlike other mercenaries who cursed or acted rough, the impassive breaking of each arm was terrifyingly filthy.



‘Not mentioning such a monster. . . Damn bastards!’



????????????????????????



“This brat! How dare you challenge us!”



Enraged, Gamson tried to strike down the fallen one, but Goran stopped him.



“Why are you stopping me!”



“He’s not the one you caught. Rookie.”



“Hey. Did you catch the two of them?”



“The knight caught them.”



“Let’s take them and sell them as slaves. These trashy b*stards. How dare they rob! They will be cursed by God.”



“Let’s hear their story first.”



Johan lifted his mace over his shoulder and asked.



“Who ordered you?”



“W-We don’t know anything!”



Thwack!



As soon as the words were out, Johan swung his mace. The broken knee shattered.



“Aaaahhh!”



“Did you think I caught you to hear you say you don’t know anything? Spit it out! Spit out the answer I want.”



The mercenaries swallowed their saliva at Johan’s appearance. He looked to be around twenty years old, but his flawless appearance was no joke. They wondered what kind of family he had trained in.



“If you don’t want to live as a cripple for the rest of your life, spit out the answer. Now. One! Two!”



“T-The Captain knows! He just said to rob that merchant guy! So! So!”



The captured one shouted out in a hurry. Then everyone’s eyes turned to Eldans.



“Milord Eldans. What is this? You didn’t say anything like this.”



“I don’t know anything about this either!”



“Don’t tell me you tried to save money. . .”



“If I knew someone was after me, I would have hired more mercenaries, why would I gamble with my life?!”



Eldans argued as if he was frustrated. Goran frowned but accepted it.



“I understand.”



The reward that Eldans offered was not bad. Three Empire coins per day and one Empire silver coin every time a fight broke out. Twelve coins were worth one silver coin, so it was a decent job for escorting a merchant. Eldans was not a fool who would cut corners on his life.



He would have hired more mercenaries if he knew someone was after him. A seasoned merchant wouldn’t risk his life for a few pennies.
