Chapter 65.1: Winter of the Knights (2)
As Johan charged, Marco leaned back and drew his bow, pulling the string taut.
!
Knights from the Holy Empire or Erlans Kingdom were not adept with the bow. Although they learned archery as a part of their martial skills, they did not wield it as proficiently as other weapons.
In this regard, the sight of the knight drawing a bow clearly indicated his origin from Catalia.
!
With a sharp sound, a heavy impact was felt on the arm. Johan easily blocked it. Unless the situation was chaotic, it was possible to read the opponents movements and intercept the arrow.
Marco then discarded the bow and drew his sword. However, this action was meaningless to Johan. With a single strike, Johan sent the sword flying and grabbed the knights throat, throwing him off his horse.
!
Subduing the knight in one go, the tension among the other knights was palpable.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
Will you surrender?
As a knight, how can I surrender without a fight!
In that case.
Johan had anticipated such a response. He proceeded to knock down all the remaining knights.
Foolishly, the knights attempted to cross weapons with Johan.
Once they engaged, Johans immense strength caused them to lose their balance. Caught off guard by the unexpected impact, all the knights were unseated in a ridiculous manner.
Afterwards, they became easy prey for the knights waiting in the wings. Defeated so cleanly that no excuses could be made, the knights acknowledged their defeat and surrendered.
Marquis barely escaped with his life and fled to the city, while Ulrikes army returned with numerous spoils of war.
As the enemys army disappeared, Ulrike leisurely withdrew her forces. Leaving behind a new castellan and a few who would control him, along with a garrison to guard the castle, was sufficient.
Congratulations on the great victory.
The Marquis fled dishonorably. . .
Dont worry about not capturing the Marquis. The victory is significant enough without that.
Ulrike praised everyone with a satisfied voice.
It was regrettable that they couldnt capture Marquis Crucho, but the complete destruction of his army was an unexpected achievement.
In comparison, the troll blood and rewards seemed minor. The towns tax rights were significant but had clear limits, being a small town.
It was clear why knights were so eager for war.
Ransom!
Wars where ransom could be legally extracted were opportunities for social advancement and business.
I did want to build a castle like the Sangdarju or Abner families.
A castle? That money is nowhere near enough.
Suetlg was incredulous at such an absurd idea.
Building a proper stone castle would take years and about ten times more gold.
What would be the point of building one?
I know. And it seems pointless anyway.
If a castle was really needed, it might be different, but the place Johan was due to receive didnt require one. Building a castle there would be excessive.
You could build a large mansion instead. If its made of wood, it would be much cheaper and faster.
Suetlg cautiously opened his mouth, wondering if his words were too harsh.
What was the point of fighting as a knight?
For fame, obviously.
It would be a grave insult for a young and spirited knight to live in a small house after rising in status by receiving a fiefdom.
No, not really.
But Suetlg still didnt understand Johan. Johan didnt care much about such things.
Building a mansion in his fiefdom to show off his wealth and power was what other nobles and knights dreamed of, not Johan.
His wish to build a castle was simply to withstand enemies if attacked. He abandoned the idea, thinking it better to give up the town than fortify it with walls.
Really not interested?
I never planned to stay long in the town anyway.
What good would come from pioneering a town that barely produces a dozen gold coins a year? And Johan also lacked confidence in that area.
It would be better to wander around and earn gold during that time.
So, what I thought was to hire more mercenaries.
