Chapter 35.2: It Was Warm in the City That Year (9)
“Karamaf. You’re also considered a monster; can you handle a troll?”

━Growl.
ᅠ
Karamaf expressed his opinion simply and briefly. It meant he was unwilling.
ᅠ
“Can you at least distract it?”
ᅠ
━Growl.
ᅠ
Karamaf nodded confidently. Johan said with a relieved expression,
ᅠ
“Go and draw its attention, but don’t engage too much. If it gets dangerous, you can retreat. We never planned to risk our lives anyway.”
ᅠ
Karamaf, with a keen sense of smell, was leading the way remarkably well. Although a servant had given directions, they would have wandered more without Karamaf.

‘Distracting the troll is good, but is there a way to inflict more damage?’
ᅠ
Upon closer examination, the troll’s skin was much tougher than expected. Not only that, the thick skin coupled with the tough muscles and fat underneath formed a dense armor layer.

Even a sharply honed longsword, when swung, would only slightly penetrate the muscles before stopping. This meant that the knights’ swordsmanship might not be very effective.

“It’s not a good place to pour oil on the sword and set it on fire. Perhaps. . . we have no choice but to push through with brute force.”

ᅠ
“T-The beast, it’s coming this way! It’s coming this way!!”
ᅠ
The bolts were too weak to dismay the troll. Unscathed, the troll sneered and charged at the crossbowmen. The encirclement quickly collapsed amidst screams.
ᅠ
From then on, it was not a fight but a struggle for survival.
ᅠ
Realizing the elf knights were the leaders, the troll ignored the others and doggedly pursued only three. It was determined not to give them a chance to escape on their tied-up horses.
ᅠ
The elf knights had to jump and roll with curses, as the troll, seemingly 1.5 times the size of a large soldier, swung its massive club, making defense impossible.
ᅠ
Fortunately, one of the three elf knights continually distracted the troll, maintaining a precarious balance.
ᅠ
All three were acutely aware of it.
ᅠ
If even one of them fell, the others would be killed by the troll!
ᅠ
It was a shameful situation for knights, but all they could hope for was reinforcement.
ᅠ
And then, Johan arrived.
ᅠ
Riding a warhorse and gallantly leaping through the bushes, Johan’s arrival on the battlefield was the epitome of an honorable knight.
ᅠ
‘. . .The situation seems worse than I thought.’
ᅠ
Of course, he was contemplating whether to flee alone or with the knights.
