Chapter 62.1: The Siege of Sandarju (6)
“A serious illness?”
The swordsmen hastily added, perhaps misunderstanding Johan’s reaction of incredulity as something else.
“Of course, it’s unbelievable that a knight like Sir Karamaf would fall seriously ill. It’s a ridiculous rumor, but we are not lying.”
“That’s right. Moreover, it is said that Sir Karamaf is cursed. . .”
“Madman. What are you talking about, curses?”
“It’s a real curse, I tell you. Why else would a perfectly healthy knight collapse?”
The rumor that Karamaf had collapsed due to a curse suggested that he had accumulated significant enmity over the years.
Indeed, when suppressing the rebellion in the western Empire, he never considered reconciliation, ruthlessly killing nobles indiscriminately. . .
Usually, nobles involved in rebellions weren’t easily executed. Even if defeated, they would lose their fiefdoms or pay reparations as a compromise.
However, the Emperor, relying solely on his might, chose a hardline approach, and Karamaf acted in accordance with his wishes.
Now, the feudal lords in the western Empire were openly targeting the Emperor.
“What are you doing! How dare. . .!”
A servant working there exclaimed in shock. It was natural to be surprised seeing dozens of armed men ascending to the second floor.
“Show your loyalty if you want to live.”
“. . .Yes.”
Led by Gasro, the swordsmen, following Johan’s words, stepped forward with somber expressions, holding their returned weapons.
Having switched sides during the war, they had to prove themselves. Otherwise, they risked facing blades from both sides.
“Is the castellan upstairs?”
“You traitors! Do you think you’ll be safe after bringing outsiders in here?! You and others will be held responsi━. . .”
“Chwaag!”
Even with a roughened temperament, slicing down a servant was nothing challenging. The swordsmen, having splattered blood, pointed their swords at another servant and asked,
“Is he upstairs?”
“He. . . He is.”
“He’s there.”Dive into Stories, Embrace Enchantment: N♡vεlB¡n.
“Good. Let’s go up.”
Screams echoed throughout the tower. Realizing the situation, the servants and slaves began to flee. Those who realized that dangerous enemies had entered tried to escape outside first.
The mercenaries didn’t bother to capture them. They had no time to waste in frivolity.
“Wait.”
“?”
“Bring them back here.”
Confused by Johan’s command, the mercenaries moved as instructed. They vividly remembered how Gerdolf had fiercely grabbed someone by the neck earlier.
“Yes. Together now. . .”
“No. I will open the gate. Keep watch.”
Normally, hoisting the gate’s winch wasn’t a one-person job. About a dozen soldiers were needed to lift it. The mercenaries thought to help but then stopped themselves.
‘The Sir Knight will handle it.’
And Johan did exactly that.
As he alone opened the gate, the mercenaries, no longer surprised, rushed through. Only the swordsmen looked on as if seeing a madman.
????????????????????????
“You’ve bravely come to help. Braver than I thought, huh?”
“O-Of course, that’s me.”
Upon hearing Johan’s words, Stephen hurriedly nodded his head. Fortunately, it seemed he wouldn’t be hit by an arrow.
“Thanks to you, it went well. Send the soldiers inside to take over the walls. Stay alert. We don’t know how many are still inside. And call for reinforcements. We’ve captured the castellan.”
“Captured the castellan?!”
“Isn’t that what you’re holding now?”
“. . . . . .”
Stephen wore a sickened expression.
He couldn’t believe that was the castellan. . .
For Stephen, who had only experienced treating nobility with a certain level of respect, it was shocking. He couldn’t even lift his head properly.
‘Isn’t he worried about what comes next?’
“Mobilize the cavalry and capture all the servants or slaves among those escaping. We don’t need the soldiers, but we must capture all of them.”
“Understood.”
Seeing the castellan, it seemed likely others might disguise themselves as servants or slaves to escape. Even though they had captured the castellan, Johan was thorough in such matters.
The castellan twitched upon hearing this. Johan was surprised, thinking the man had been knocked out.
‘What’s this?’
The messenger soon arrived at Ulrike’s camp.
Ulrike was at a loss for words upon hearing the request for reinforcements, given that they had opened the gates, taken over the walls, and captured the castellan.
“. . .Isn’t that like having already conquered the castle?”
The knights seemed to agree.
They had thought that when they said they’d cross the walls with just a few mercenaries, they’d quietly open a secret door and call the soldiers.
The late arrival of the messenger was thought to be due to complications, but they never imagined it was because they had taken the gate, the walls, and the castellan.
“Issue the order. We can’t be late in cleaning up after taking over the castle by ourselves.”
The fog was already lifting completely.
