Chapter 94.1: Good Children (6)

Barbarian fools, have you no pride? Blinded by the dukes gold coins!

The defense captain insulted the tribes. Though it was ironic coming from him, who hailed from a small kingdom that acted arrogantly among the nobles of the larger kingdom.

C-Can we trust this guy?

Shh. Be careful with your words. Doubting our own in front of the enemy!

When complaints arose, others rebuked him.

The defense captain was originally from the Slovak Kingdom, located on the east of the Edene Sea, on the Ulkana Peninsula.

In this situation, the only force that agreed to support Umdim city was from this place.

The people of the Empire mocked them for calling themselves a kingdom, but a kingdom was still a kingdom.

Ha. I must speak my mind! What did I say! Surrendering as soon as possible is the only way to appease the dukes anger and save us all!

Quiet! Thats just your way of saving yourself!

Saving myself?! Then whats your plan?! If greed got us into this mess, we should at least think of taking responsibility!

The people quickly became divided. Especially in a city where various families had control, these situations became more vulnerable.

Some supported the duke, others the small kingdoms, and others various city-states, clashing with each other.

Whoever lost ground here was as good as dead. They grabbed each other by the collar, growling.

Calm down. Its just the vanguard! They are not even approaching here. If we hold out relying on the walls, they will soon retreat.

Nonsense! If we are to surrender, it must be before the attack begins! Once it starts, its too late!

Siege warfare had its own customs.

If a city wanted to surrender, it had to do so before the attack began. If it surrendered after the attack had begun, it was unlikely to receive mercy.

Even if the commander wanted to show mercy, the soldiers below him would go crazy.

Surrender meant that a few people might be executed, but most people would be spared. It was only natural to be tempted by that.

?

Gurelic was able to hear the news by chance because he arrived a step late. Tribal warriors were roaming around in groups of tens, stirring up the camp.

Thats too bad. It will take some time.

Thats right, isnt it? I heard that a few of the guys in the nearby town told the location of the marching army.

Huh. Is that so?

The priests say that we should show mercy, but it seems that the world is a place where those who show mercy lose. There is no one to trust, so it would be easier to wipe them all out.

Gurelic gently mocked Johan within a harmless limit. He thought that this would make him feel a little better.

Hmm. . . Were you attacked on the way?

. . .No. If I had been attacked, I would have come later.

Thats right. I would have been attacked if I had plundered the town.

What do you mean by that?

Think about it carefully. Its strange that a few men would report the location of an army of over a thousand people. They must have reported it because they had nothing to lose. What would they hide when the town was in ruins? Only hatred would remain.

. . . . . .

Since neither you nor I have been attacked, I guess at least the towns we passed did not report it. Isnt mercy quite useful?

. . .Isnt it because they were afraid that they didnt report it?

That can also be another side of mercy. God does not always appear in one form. Sir Gurelic. Thats enough thanks. If you dont have anything else to say, you should go and prepare for your camp.

Gurelic honestly felt like he had been punched by this young knight. It wasnt a punch that made him feel disgusted, but a punch that made sense.

He was completely refuted!

He thought he was an immature knight dastard who had no experience leading an army and only had individual strength. . .

He was much more of a stumbling block than he thought.

Gurelic bowed and withdrew. Without Gurelic knowing it, his attitude when he withdrew was much more respectful.
