Chapter 60.1: The Siege of Sandarju (4)

“What are you talking about? Do you think your employer is some kind of god?”

“Well, his power was indeed enormous, like that of a god. . .”

“But still, he bleeds when stabbed with a spear and dies when hit by an arrow. It’s insane to think that with just those men, they would climb the city walls. No matter how much one loves gold, it’s madness.”

Experienced mercenaries said that, indicating the riskiness of this attempt.

Yet, the mercenaries following Johan were unshaken as if they were enchanted.

After all, faith is not rational and is something that cannot be explained to others.

The mercenaries who had followed Johan from the city held a strong belief.

They had faith that they would never lose if they followed this knight!

Such unwavering faith doesn’t just emerge from kicking down giant tent poles.

It develops through continuous collaboration, syncing movements, and experiencing each action side by side.

Mercenaries unaware of this thought those participating in the surprise attack seemed mad.

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

The weakest part of the castle was its gate. It was natural, as it was originally made for people to pass through.

Thus, various methods were employed to protect the gate, like elevating its position, digging a moat below, or building a small bastion nearby. . .

Sangdarju Castle wasn’t that well-built. The moat was shallow, and the towers were crude.

But still, a castle is a castle. A direct assault on the gate could even turn Johan into a piece of meat.

‘Climb over the wall and open the gate.’

“There’s fog rolling in.”

Suetlg, who had turned pale preparing magic, came out and said.

From a distance, fog was enveloping the area around the castle. The sudden dense fog caused confusion among the soldiers on the walls.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

“When will we attack?”

“We’ll repeat this a few times and then go in just before sunrise.”

“Wouldn’t the middle of the night be better?”

“It might be harder for us if it’s too dark. Considering the terrain and all. . .”

Johan thought the time just before sunrise was when people are most off-guard.

Others thought of night, but to Johan, night seemed more dangerous.

Creak━

The mace swung, and the soldier collapsed. The soldier next to him was startled and scrambled for his spear, but Johan stepped on it first.

“Atta(ck). . .”

One blow to the lungs, one to the neck.

What Kaegal taught Johan most intensively were the body’s vital points. An assassin couldn’t kill openly like a knight in battle. They often had to kill quietly in the darkness.

It was this technique that was effective then. Not slashing with a sword, but quickly stabbing a hard-to-hear vital point with a dagger and silencing them.

“Guh-huh. . .”

The soldier gasped and gurgled. Johan pushed him aside and checked the surroundings. There were no others.

Thump━

As the rope descended, the mercenaries sighed in relief. They had been anxious about the sudden disappearance.

As all the mercenaries climbed onto the wall, Johan gave the order.

“Go to the secret door and open it.”

The main gate was too large and noisy, drawing inevitable attention.

In contrast, the secret doors in the wall were relatively free from such concerns. They were small and concealed enough to be unnoticed from the outside.

If they could take the secret door before the enemies noticed and bring in the soldiers from outside, it would be over.

“Isn’t it too quiet?”

“Are they all sleeping?”

“We haven’t touched them for days, so it’s likely. . .”

Johan and the mercenaries ran through the castle courtyard, the eerie silence making their hearts race.

As they moved towards the secret door, a shout erupted from behind.

“It’s an attack! It’s an attack!!”

“The wall has been taken!”

“?!”

Johan and the mercenaries, who had not yet taken the wall, were shocked by the outcry.

“Have those guys gone mad?!”

“No. They must have discovered the missing soldiers. Move fast!”

Johan urged the mercenaries. With tense expressions, they nodded. From now on, it wouldn’t be surprising to encounter enemies anywhere.
