Chapter 61.2: The Siege of Sandarju (5)
The knights looked doubtful. They would have listened if it were someone else, but it was hard to accept when Stephen said it.
“Let’s watch the situation a bit more.”
“What if Johan dies in the meantime?”
“Sir Johan is not someone who dies easily. Besides, it seems they are fighting now. . .”
“Then how about we go support with the soldiers Stephen is leading?”
Hearing this, Suetlg offered a compromise. The knights couldn’t object to sending the mercenaries Stephen brought.
Returning to their camp, Suetlg spoke to Stephen with surprise in his expression.
“That’s a decent idea. In this situation, the enemy will be too confused to attack us easily.”
“Ah. . . yes, I thought so too. Of course.”
Of course, Stephen had not thought that way.
Just like when Johan returned from negotiating with Ulrike, Stephen didn’t quite trust Ulrike.
━Did Ulrike really promise to spare my life?
━Well, who knows? She might want to kill you again when drunk some night, so better avoid lingering around her.
━And the tax rights?
━She said she’d pay in gold, certificates, and goods. She’ll give them after the siege is over.
━Did you really meet Ulrike? She’s not someone to agree so easily. . .
━I don’t know what you’ve been through before, but from what I’ve seen, Ulrike doesn’t seem like someone who would break a promise without reason.
‘Did this guy get too close to her in that short time?’
It was surprising, but Johan seemed to have won Ulrike’s favor. It was evident from what was heard.
But Stephen still feared Ulrike. If Johan were to die, it wouldn’t be strange for Ulrike to break her promise.
‘Johan must not die!’
“Let’s go! Follow me!”
Fortunately, the mercenaries followed Stephen.
In an already exhausted and starving situation, some quick-witted ones took advantage of the fog to climb down the walls and flee.
Still, the situation could have been managed up to that point.
But the situation worsened when the guard captain, who should have hurriedly come to calm the soldiers, was caught and killed by Johan.
With the guard captain’s communication cut off, the leaders of the soldiers, the ten-man captains, also panicked.
When one of the ten-man captains ran away, it was the end.
Like a dam bursting at its limit, the soldiers each looked for their own way to survive and fled.
At that time, Johan was searching the inner fortress for the castellan, unaware that the outside defense had collapsed.
“The castellan is on the third floor?”
“Yes! Yes!”
Apart from the main tower, the inner fortress was a narrow space with no empty areas. Normally, the first floor of a tower was used as a storehouse or kitchen, and living spaces were above it.
‘I wonder if he’s planning to escape.’
The castellan would know more about this fortress than Johan. It wouldn’t be strange if there were one or two secret passages. Johan had to rush to catch him before he was discovered.
“Is there a passage to escape outside?”
“We don’t know that much. . .”
The captured swordsmen said with anxious expressions. With the guard captain killed in one stroke, there was no one who could guarantee their lives here.
They had to show they were useful somehow!
“Where are you from?”
“From Aren, in the central Empire.”
“That’s quite far. How did you end up here?”
“We were conscripted by the guild. . . Sir Karamaf sent us here.”
“!”
Johan was surprised at the unexpected name. Karamaf sent them?
“Karamaf? Have you seen his face?”
“Of course not, we are not of the status to meet him directly. Besides, Sir Karamaf is. . . well, it’s a rumor, but there are rumors that he’s seriously ill. . .”
