Chapter 37.2: It Was Warm in the City That Year (11)

“To name such a smart creature “Karamaf”. Isn’t that pitiful?”



“He may be dishonorable and without prestige, but he’s still imposing.”



“That’s true.”



To the elf knights, Karamaf wasn’t a good image. His notorious deeds in the Empire had tarnished his reputation.



Of course, to Johan, insults to Karamaf meant nothing. In fact, he preferred it.



“. . .?”



Johan realized something was off. Karamaf had brought a person in its mouth. The man was completely disheveled and struggling, but Karamaf wouldn’t let go.



“Who did you bring here?”



Initially, it seemed that he had caught one of the rogue groups. But the clothes of these rogues were too fine. The face and hands were soft, not like those who had roughed it.



“Let go of me, you wolf cub!”



“What are you doing?”



Sensing something was off in his words, drew their weapons and aimed them at the man. Startled by the sudden weapons at his throat, the man exclaimed.



“I. . . I am just a traveler, sir!”



“Where are you traveling from and to?”



“I came from Thuringia, heading to Marcel to visit relatives. . .”



An elf knight asked.



“Sir Johan. May I ask?”



“Go ahead.”



Swoosh!



The elf knight drew his dagger and sharply cut the traveler’s hand. The traveler screamed sharply.



“If it’s found that you lied, I’ll tear your limbs and burn them. Tell me who your relative in Marcel is!”



‘What if it’s true?’





Furthermore, if mercenaries brought personally by the Baron were involved, they were undoubtedly well-trained heavy infantry.



“Baron Eiven, a notorious figure as the Emperor’s right hand, his presence here means something! It’s a direct order from the Emperor himself!”



“What cursed ignorance, not to recognize such honor! How dare they resort to such schemes?!”



The knights of Erlans Kingdom were enraged. Even though Marcel city maintained friendly relations with the anti-Emperor factions among the Empire’s nobility, such blatant maneuvering was unprecedented.



Supporting bands of rogues and mercenaries to threaten the city?



Had they not realized, they would have shattered the punitive force once again, extorted gold from the city, and then acted innocently back in their own fiefdom.



While the knights were furious over this dishonorable scheme, Johan urged them calmly.



“Return quickly.”



“We shall do so, sir.”



“Why did you act like madmen, creating this situation?”



“I, I’m sorry, sir.”



“When a troll appears, just retreat and rejoin the main force. Why behave as if it’s your sworn enemy?”



“I’d appreciate it if you don’t say anything to the others about my mistake, sir.”



“After all jumping in together, what now?”



Johan naturally scolded the knights. The proud elven knights, unbeknownst to themselves, bowed their heads in submission━a surprising sight not shown in front of the Count.



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



Battles among mercenaries often lasted long until one side crumbled and fled. Despite fighting back and forth for hours, Suetlg felt uneasy as the enemies held out well.



Yet, it was evident that they were slowly being surrounded by a larger force. The fear in the enemies was palpable.



“In the name of Fort Oxso! Charge!”



“Bulls! Tear the enemies apart!”



“??!!”



Thus, when hundreds of heavy infantry suddenly emerged from the flanks, even Suetlg was bound to be taken aback.
