Chapter 39.2: It Was Warm in the City That Year (13)
Upon hearing the report from Johan and the knights, the Captain blinked repeatedly. Suetlg, standing beside him, also displayed a look of disbelief.
ᅠ
“What did you catch the troll with?”
ᅠ
“Ah, no. Wizard-nim. That’s not the main issue right now. Didn’t you say Baron Einbeck was behind it? We need to return to the city quickly and report this.”
ᅠ
“Ah, right. . . So, how did you catch the troll??”
ᅠ
The Captain was indeed curious about how the troll was captured, but as a commander, his sense of responsibility prevailed. He patiently organized the situation related to Baron Einbeck.
ᅠ
It was necessary to report to the magistrate immediately.
ᅠ
“Seems the Emperor is in a tight spot.”
ᅠ
“How do you think Marcel will react?”
ᅠ
“Well. In the city, there are both pro-Emperor and anti-Emperor factions. Now that they’ve been caught red-handed, the pro-Emperor faction won’t have a choice but to keep quiet. The decision will come from the council, and depending on their leniency, it could either be exile or a more severe punishment.”
ᅠ
Suetlg made a throat-slitting gesture, hoping that those aligned with the Emperor in the city wouldn’t cause trouble in this situation.
ᅠ
“But about the troll, who tore it apart?”
ᅠ
Suetlg wouldn’t have believed it had he not heard it directly from the elven knights and the monastery members.
ᅠ
The elven knights were excitedly recounting how ‘Sir Johan tore the troll apart and beheaded it.’ Baron Einbeck’s involvement was not the main concern, but how Johan tore the troll apart. . .
ᅠ
The knights were simple-minded. They disregarded those beneath them but were generous to their equals, let alone to a knight more formidable than themselves.
ᅠ
Johan had clearly overwhelmed the knights with his skills.
ᅠ
ᅠ
The triumphal ceremony to honor those returning victorious from war has been a tradition since ancient times.
ᅠ
Although not as extravagant as during the Empire era, the triumphant return of the punitive force was enough to captivate the attention of the city’s populace. It had an atmosphere akin to a festival.
ᅠ
“Praise the honorable knights! These are the knights who contributed most significantly to the punitive expedition!”
ᅠ
The knights were at the forefront, while at the end, mercenaries captured in the expedition were brought in. The citizens jeered, hurling stones and rotten objects at the mercenaries.
ᅠ
Agitators positioned throughout loudly proclaimed the knights’ achievements and the reasons why the rogue band had plundered near the city.
ᅠ
This was done to elevate the knights and simultaneously incite hatred against the Emperor.
ᅠ
While there was disdain for the Emperor, people were astonished by the previously unheard name of Johan. The tale of a new knight’s exploits was fresh and intriguing.
ᅠ
“He beheaded a troll all by himself, can you believe that?”
ᅠ
“What are you talking about. . . He’s a Sir Knight. Obviously, he’s different from the likes of us.”
ᅠ
“Even for a Sir Knight, capturing a troll all by himself. . .”
ᅠ
“You doubt too much. The Sir Knights nearby must have helped. Anyway, capturing it is impressive, yes.”
ᅠ
“Well, that’s true.”
ᅠ
Though interpreted differently by the naive and the cunning, everyone agreed on one thing.
ᅠ
Regardless of the help received or how it was done, capturing a troll was a remarkable feat!
ᅠ
Already, the nickname ‘troll slayer’ was circulating among the people. After today, Johan would be referred to as Marcel’s troll slayer.
