“. . . . . .”
Upon seeing a comrade bleeding and falling, the other swordsmen froze in shock.
What did I just witness?
Being from the same swordsmanship guild, they knew exactly what their colleague had done. It was a common technique across various guilds to deflect an overhead attack and then counterstrike.
But why couldn’t he block it?
In the midst of the chaos, Gasro barely managed to reach a conclusion.
“This foe is extraordinarily strong! Do not engage directly with his weapon!”
Gasro had seen it clearly.
When the mace was swung, it exploded outward like an arrow shot from a bow!
Unbelievable as it was. . .
If the opponent had superhuman strength, then what they had just witnessed made sense. Even if it was hard to believe, when there’s only one possible explanation, you have to accept it.
‘Not to engage with weapons?’
‘The sword techniques of the Knight Dastards are fierce, but still. . .’
The swordsmen glared at Johan, pondering their options.
Knightly swordplay, often passed down within families, varied regionally. Typically involving combat in armor, it didn’t focus much on intricate techniques.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
But there were limits, and they had never seen a technique that simply overpowered with sheer strength.
“Skill overcomes strength.”
A phrase they had heard often, but it had never felt as hollow as it did now.
Can skill truly prevail against overwhelming power?
‘That ended more quickly than expected.’
Johan also observed the swordsmen.
The recent fight had been unexpected for Johan too. He thought they would have exchanged more blows.
Those who faced Johan treated him as an equal. But that was an irreversible mistake.
One should face Johan as if facing a monster.
A human-shaped monster.
A monster capable of tearing one apart with brute strength!
‘Hmm. . .’
The swordsmen’s overt caution was palpable. Their readiness to retreat at Johan’s charge was evident.
A moment of standoff.
“One, two, three.”
“This man, didn’t follow orders.”
“No, sir! I was just startled!”
“Let him go.”
At Johan’s words, Gerdolf immediately released the mercenary. The mercenary gasped for air and said.
“I-I apologize, Johan-nim. I won’t disobey orders again.”
“Fine. You’ve followed us this far, I won’t doubt your loyalty.”
The mercenaries looked moved at Johan’s words. Regardless, Gerdolf grabbed the next person and raised his warhammer. The swordsmen panicked as Gerdolf’s arm rose.
“Why, why are you doing this! I said I would talk!”
“Ah. My apologies. This man is a loyal knight. So, what is the current situation?”
“The walls are under attack, and the captain was about to go for reinforcements.”
“Is the castellan inside the fortress?”
“Yes. . .”
“Do you know his location?”
“For now. . .”
Johan made a decision right away.
“We go inside. Capture the castellan first!”
????????????????????????
The soldiers waiting in Ulrike’s camp realized something was amiss when they spotted a few fleeing soldiers.
“Isn’t that them running away?”
“What? That’s ridiculous. . . but it’s true?”
The guards, who had lost their way in the fog and unfortunately ran towards Ulrike’s camp, screamed and ran away again.
“What’s happening here?”
“We need to open the gate to get in. . .”
A few knights murmured in confusion. Normally, they would have subdued the secret passage and sent mercenaries for reinforcements.
Things seemed messed up, but seeing the enemies fleeing outside the castle, it seemed that was not the case.
“Aren’t we in the middle of a battle?”
“We can’t tell because of the fog. . .”
The fog made even the attackers hesitate. Then Stephen stepped forward.
“We must go support them now!”
