Chapter 35.1: It Was Warm in the City That Year (9)
ᅠ
Currently, the St. Iena Holy Knights’ Order seemed seriously intent on risking their lives in a decisive battle against the troll. It was natural for them, who regarded monster subjugation as a divine mission.
ᅠ
However, Johan did not really have such intentions.
ᅠ
Of course, he had feasted grandly with the elf knights and participated in the subjugation, so he would go to the rescue, but. . .
ᅠ
He had no intention of risking his life in a life-or-death struggle.
ᅠ
‘If I can go there, rescue them, and escape, then I will; if it’s too late, I’ll just retreat.’
ᅠ
Since he was faster than the troll, he just needed to turn his horse around and retreat. That was the reason he had asked.
ᅠ
The elf knights would undoubtedly rush to capture the monster at the sight of it, but Johan did not entertain such thoughts.
ᅠ
If he could capture it, he would; if not, it couldn’t be helped.
ᅠ
A flexible knight!
ᅠ
In this situation, the best course was to rescue the elf knights and then escape without fighting the troll. It was better to move quickly, as there was nothing to gain if the elf knights died.
ᅠ
“No. That would be too late. I’ll go ahead, and you follow as soon as you’re ready.”
ᅠ
“Yes, Sir!”
ᅠ
Johan pretended not to hear and spurred his horse on. Karamaf growled beside him, keeping pace with the horse.
ᅠ
????????????????????????
ᅠ
Meanwhile, the main force was steadily advancing into the forest.
ᅠ
There were a few minor skirmishes with what seemed to be scouts and rogues, but no major battles.
ᅠ
Therefore, when the scouts returned with their reports, the Captain of the guard was taken aback.
ᅠ
“They’re waiting in ambush?”
ᅠ
“Yes. They’ve gathered and are ready to fight.”
ᅠ
The captain of the guards was surprised by the report that several hundred mercenaries and rogues had formed ranks (though it was more like just standing in line) and were ready to fight.
ᅠ
Honestly, he had thought they would just collapse.
ᅠ
“What did I tell you? I said the rogues would fight at least once. The enemy’s mercenary captain’s neck is on the line.”
ᅠ
“It’s noisy. Tell the mercenary unit to get ready to fight.”
ᅠ
After kicking the smug adjutant in the buttocks, the captain of the guards prepared for battle.
ᅠ
Although hundreds had gathered, they were reduced in number due to several skirmishes. In both numbers and quality, the punitive force held the advantage.
ᅠ
“Captain, the wizard has arrived.”
ᅠ
━What are those who took the advance payment and ran saying now? Are the rogues surrendering out of fear!
ᅠ
As they came within sight, arrows flew back and forth. Most used crossbows, with only a few mercenaries using bows. Arrows whistled through the air, embedding themselves in each camp.
ᅠ
━Ugh!
ᅠ
━Ack!
ᅠ
A few unlucky ones, hit by arrows that flew between shields, fell. But the mercenaries didn’t stop. They continued to advance silently.
ᅠ
The punitive force’s morale improved, seeing their larger numbers and longer formation. Jokes even emerged among the more relaxed veterans.
ᅠ
━Anyone want to bet if I hit that guy or not?
ᅠ
The Captain felt relieved, as it seemed the rogues would be easily defeated. Then, a disheveled knight’s servant arrived.
ᅠ
“A troll?!”
ᅠ
“Send reinforcements quickly! Milord is in danger!”
ᅠ
“It’s impossible now! Look, those retreating are losing. How can we pull out mercenaries in this situation!”
ᅠ
The captain sharply rebuked him. The servant had no response and hesitated.
ᅠ
“Didn’t Sir Johan and the St. Iena Holy Knights’ Order paladins go?”
ᅠ
“Yes, they went to help, but I’m afraid. . .”
ᅠ
“That force should be enough! Sending mediocre mercenaries against a troll won’t make a difference.”
ᅠ
“But. . .”
ᅠ
The servant acted like a noble when his master, the knight, was around, but without him, he was nothing. And now, the Captain couldn’t back down either. It was time to fight, but a troll━what an annoyance.
ᅠ
‘Those knightly f*ckers. . .! They probably charged in excitedly at the sight of a troll!’
ᅠ
It was clear they only thought of their own fame and achievements. The thought made him angrily boil over.
ᅠ
“. . .Understood. I will wait until the fight is over.”
ᅠ
“A wise decision.”
ᅠ
Suetlg, who was listening nearby, exclaimed ‘Ah’ in surprise. Geoffrey, puzzled, asked,
ᅠ
“Why is that, sir?”
ᅠ
“Indeed, your master seems to be blessed with fortune. It’s clear that the brave are looked after by the gods.”
ᅠ
“. . .?”
ᅠ
“Though the troll is known as a ‘Knight Slayer,’ a monster, fortunately, your master has an elixir that’s effective against trolls.”
ᅠ
Suetlg looked pleased. A gift given without much thought had returned in this manner. Was this also a revelation?
