Chapter 95.1: Good Children (7)
While the merchants were feeling embarrassed, Johan read aloud. It was a message about a few members of the city council colluding once the army entered.
Not a surrender?
Neither the current captain of the defense nor those in command are thinking of surrendering.
Well, that makes sense.
It was unlikely that those who proposed rebellion against the duke and now leading the city would easily surrender. Their heads would surely hang from the gallows.
However, other council members had different thoughts.
Why should they die alongside them?
With the vanguard already here, it was only a matter of time. Once the siege began, surrendering would become even more difficult. Therefore, they secretly asked the merchants of the Katana Merchant Guild to deliver a letter to Johan.
. . .
Johan thought so, but it was an impossible notion. The council members, treated as nobility within the city, werent actually nobility.
They couldnt raise an army for rebellion. It was madness to think of attacking with the citys vagrants, laborers, and servants. . .
Understood. Give the merchants some wine. I need to gather people and talk. . . Oh, wait.
?
The merchants, who were looking forward to the wine, looked at Johan curiously.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
Youll stay in the camp until the siege is over, right?
Yes. . . It seems better that way. . .
Good. I have a favor to ask.
Johan led the merchants to a tent. It was where the scribe, in charge of finances for the expedition, and the priests were.
Help them with the calculations.
. . .Us?
Cant you Count ?
T-Thank you.
The reason merchants werent used in such roles was due to distrust, but Johan didnt care about that.
After all, he could catch most things with just one glance at the ledger, especially when written in Eastern numerals.
Great! Isnt Sir Knight currently blessed with good fortune?
We must be . The forces are formidable.
The opinions of the people gathered in the meeting room were divided.
Achladda, Stephen, and Caenerna thought it was a good opportunity, while Suetlg, Euclyia, and Marco thought they should be careful.
Caenerna asked, seemingly not understanding.
You said it was okay to capture the ship, didnt you?
That was something we could try. We actually succeeded, didnt we?
. . . . . .
What can you say if you succeeded? The one who didnt guess is an *sshole.
Capturing the ship didnt seem like it would fail, and even if it did, it didnt seem that dangerous. The opponent was a merchant ship, and there were many soldiers here. But this is a completely different matter. Even if the opponent doesnt betray us, a single mistake could be dangerous. Its different from Sangdarju Castle.
Sangdarju Castle was a small fortress, and this was a city, even if it was an ancient one.
I think we can get away even if something happens. . .
Suetlg whispered to Johan so that only he could hear.
Think carefully. The tribal warriors you brought with you are all well-respected in the tribe. If they get hurt or captured, youll be in trouble.
. . .!
Those who were summoned by the duke and received a knighthood were quite good tribal natives. If such people were to die in large numbers, Johans relationship with them could be in danger.
