Chapter 34.1: It Was Warm in the City That Year (8)
ᅠ
“Understood. What did the Lords decide to do?”
ᅠ
“They said they will interrogate them and then decide.”
ᅠN♡vεlB¡n: Where Every Word Sparks Wonder.
“Understood. Tell them I will come as soon as possible.”
ᅠ
Suetlg made a look as if to say, ‘See that?’ Whether surrounded by forest or whatever, facing knights with just a few dozen mercenaries was absolutely impossible.
ᅠ
The captain of the guard shouted, gathering the captains of the mercenaries. Since the knights had already gone ahead and were causing trouble, they also had to hurry.
ᅠ
Honestly, the knights aren’t fools, they’ll handle it well. . .
ᅠ
But what if they’re late? What would they hear then?
ᅠ
“It would be easier if the Sir Knights just swept them all away.”
ᅠ
“I’m afraid to say that, it seems like we would get an earful for that. Aren’t the preparations complete yet?”
ᅠ
“They say it’s all ready now.”
ᅠ
Upon hearing the adjutant’s report, the captain of the guard nodded.
ᅠ
The plan of subjugation was simple.
ᅠ
Sweep through the nearby forest, destroying all possible camping sites, and kill any mercenary or rogue they encounter.
ᅠ
It was a simple but effective method. Since they had more numbers and better quality of troops, there was no need for complicated tactics.
ᅠ
The only reason these bands of rogues held out was because of the vast forest. If they destroyed all supplies and camping grounds, the mercenaries would be finished. Would these mercenaries, gathered for personal gain, regroup after a retreat? They would just scatter.
ᅠ
“Do you think they’ll run or fight?”
ᅠ
“Maybe they’ll fight at least once, right? After all that, they won’t just disband.”
ᅠ
They thought blocking the road would lead to negotiations, but the magistrate’s choice to hire twice as many troops for a counterattack was indeed threatening.
ᅠ
However, Johan felt strangely uneasy.
ᅠ
Could the opponent have some other plan in mind?
ᅠ
????????????????????????
ᅠ
The sight of the burning fiefdom was horrific. The mercenaries who couldn’t escape in time were slaughtered right there. Unlucky merchants who came to the fiefdom to make some money, along with laborers and prostitutes, were also killed.
ᅠ
As the knights charged, shouting “For glory!”, one third of the mercenaries in the fiefdom panicked and fled, abandoning their weapons. Another third shouted, ‘Surrender! We surrender!’, while the remaining third tried to fight, grasping their weapons.
ᅠ
The elf knights indiscriminately wiped out the mercenaries. Since the opponents were not nobles, there was no reason to accept their surrender.
ᅠ
“Sh, sh, sh, sh. . .”
ᅠ
A servant pointed a knife at the throat of a surviving female mercenary.
ᅠ
“You’re not alone, are you? Where are the others?”
ᅠ
“O-Over there, at the stream to the east. . . waiting to emerge if anyone passes by on the road. . .”
ᅠ
Before she could finish speaking, the servant slit the mercenary’s throat with a dagger. It was a skill he had honed following the knights. Servants or slaves accompanying knights often became skilled soldiers.
ᅠ
“Did you find out?”
ᅠ
“Yes. It seems they are waiting at the eastern stream.”
ᅠ
“Annoying bugs, scattered here and there.”
ᅠ
One of the knights frowned.
ᅠ
“The horses seem tired, let’s switch mounts. We need to attack before they hear the commotion and flee.”
ᅠ
None of the approximately thirty members of the party were injured. Even though the mercenaries were caught by surprise, the disparity in strength was immense.
