Chapter 23.1: Knight, Merchant, Mercenary, Slave (8)

‘I want to live!’



The innkeeper moved desperately with just that one thought in mind, not allowing himself any distractions. He took out some oil, lit a fire, and made a torch, which he handed to Johan.



“Carry this and follow me!”



“Yes!”



Johan went out armed only with his weapon, not wearing his armor. There was no time to don all his equipment in such a situation.



“What’s going on?”N♡vεlB¡n: Where Every Word Sparks Wonder.



“What’s happening?”



The other mercenaries who had been sleeping upstairs were also awakened by the commotion and came down. Those who had drunk a lot were still lying down, while those who had drunk less staggered around trying to understand the situation.



Johan didn’t respond. Explanations could wait.



“If I can’t catch your gang, your hands and feet will be cut off. Let’s go!”



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



Gamson was about to make the sharpest decision of his life.



“. . .Damn, something feels off.”



It could have been instinct, or fear of Johan. Either way, Gamson’s body was screaming.



I need to run away right now!



“What’s up now?”





He wanted to leave Pra behind, but starting a fight here and now would be a bad idea. If he got entangled with Pra and Pell, that knight dastard would catch up.



‘I should have gotten more horses!’



Stealing horses from Eldans or another part of the town felt too risky, but now he regretted not taking that risk.



Now they had to escape on a horse together with the knight dastard on their heels. . .



‘It’ll be okay. The knight dastard probably doesn’t have a horse to ride anywa━. . .’



“!!!”



Gamson saw it clearly. The light shining through the gaps of the inn in the darkness.



We’ve been spotted!



“Damn it!! Run! Run, you *ssholes! The knight dastard is chasing us!”



Gamson was so terrified that he forgot to lower his voice. He used to curse when Johan wasn’t around, but now the mere sound of a door opening in the distance was enough to scare him senseless.



Clatter, clatter━



Gamson and Pra left first, with Fell scrambling onto the horse belatedly. Burren didn’t show up, but he had long been forgotten by the three.



“Run! Run!!”



Neigh!



Lucky for them, Pell was the best horse rider among them and familiar with the geography of the area. Although he started late, it was fortunate that he sped ahead, allowing them to follow without stumbling in the dark.



The three thieves desperately ran towards the town entrance. Once past it, the night’s darkness would protect them.
