Chapter 60.2: The Siege of Sandarju (4)

“Who are you! Identify yourself!”

“!”

The opponent Johan encountered did not attack first but asked for his identity, as the fog was becoming denser. It was difficult to precisely identify who the other party was, even at a somewhat close distance.

“. . .Attack!”

At Johan’s command, the mercenaries charged fiercely. Like a pack of wolves led by a lion, they swiftly overpowered their prey.

The soldiers, thinking they were allies, fell with screams.

“Move! Unless you want to be hit by arrows!”

The mercenaries didn’t need Johan’s urging; they knew what was at stake.

Inside the fortress walls was a smaller citadel.

Compared to the outer fortress, it was embarrassingly small, merely a tower of two or three floors, but it was fully equipped.

Towers and paths for attacking enemies who had breached the gates, the walls, and the courtyard.

In the current situation, it wouldn’t be surprising for arrows to be flying.

“S-Sir Knight.”

“?”

“This doesn’t seem to be the secret passage. . .!”

The thick fog confused not only the enemies but also Johan and the mercenaries.

Instead of the secret passage, they encountered an open, lower gate of the inner fortress.

‘Did we inadvertently return to the inner fortress gate?!’

The gate of the inner fortress, on the opposite side of the front gate they were facing. They had come in the completely wrong direction.

Johan pondered.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Gerdolf stared down the soldiers, speaking in a blunt tone, which was more effective. The soldiers involuntarily stepped back.

“Protect me! Execute anyone who flees! Anyone who flees. . .!”

As Johan and Gerdolf, two knights, carved through the soldiers like cutting through waves, the defense captain turned pale.

They thought they could hold them off with their superior numbers, but the momentum was unexpectedly strong.

“You! Run and call for reinforcements, fast. Gasro! Make good on the silver you and your friends were paid! Stop them!”

“Understood, sir.”

Even as soldiers were being defeated and fleeing, there were those near the defense captain who held their ground. They wore different outfits from the soldiers and were armed with longswords.

‘Swordsmen from the fencing guild?’

It was rare for poor soldiers or mercenaries to handle longswords. Spears or shields were more convenient.

The mere use of a longsword was evidence of some degree of training!

Gasro stepped forward, longsword in hand.

The crossguards of the longswords held by the men all had identical decorations. The fencing guild often revealed their origins through such decorations, so these men were clearly from the same guild.

Johan felt tense, recalling what Kaegal had said.

━Be wary of swordsmen from the fencing guild. They are skilled in swordsmanship and know how to handle opponents stronger than themselves. They can even take on monsters, so they won’t be unable to handle you.

Of course, there would be varying levels of skill within the guild, but a proficient swordsman could be dangerous.

Clash!

Johan attacked first, to gauge his opponent’s skill. From behind his shield, Johan’s mace suddenly lashed out, striking the opponent’s torso diagonally.

‘An ignorant knight dastard.’

The swordsman, smugly, sliced his longsword sideways, deflecting the opponent’s strength and changing direction to seize the offensive.

Thud!

With the sound of a skull shattering, the swordsman fell.
