Chapter 18.2: Knight, Merchant, Mercenary, Slave (3)

“Damn it. . .”

ᅠ

“What did you say?”

ᅠ

“Nothing.”

ᅠ

“Has this guy lost his mind? I’m trying to be nice and talk instead of beating, and he thinks I’m a goblin? Say it again, you idiot.”

Khan’s face turned fierce. He was older and gentler, but he had been a mercenary who had spent his life on the battlefield. He wouldn’t stand for some blood-stained youngster arrogantly climbing up.

ᅠ

Khan drew the weapon he was carrying. Gamson was startled when the amiable man suddenly drew his weapon. But he couldn’t back down here. He also picked up a club.

ᅠ

Khan’s expression then turned cold. It was a situation that already warranted an apology, yet the other daringly drew a weapon.

ᅠ

“You must be crazy to want to die. . . Goran has chosen the wrong person. Even in a hurry, to choose someone like this.”

ᅠ

“W-Who do you think you are? Have you done anything for me?”

ᅠ

Khan’s gear was among the best in the mercenary group. A short sword, commonly known, and a shield made by overlaying bronze and leather. It was quite intimidating for Gamson, who only had a shining black club in the darkness.

ᅠ

“Even if I get scolded by Goran, I must kill the likes of you.”

ᅠ

“Damn it. . .”

ᅠ

Thud!

ᅠ

What interrupted their conversation was an arrow flying in between them. Both were shocked when the arrow landed between them.

ᅠ

“?!?!”

ᅠ

Khan quickly lowered his body and turned the shield towards the direction of the incoming arrow. After taking a deep breath, he shouted.

ᅠ

“It’s an attack!”

ᅠ

“Assh*le! Can’t even hit that?!”

ᅠ

“Try shooting in the dark then, you son of a b*tch!”

ᅠ

The battle paused for a moment. The enemies couldn’t come up the hill, and Goran’s mercenaries didn’t dare to attack first, outnumbered and caught by surprise.

ᅠ

However, Goran’s side was at a disadvantage. The enemy was numerous and began to surround the hill. It was clear that an attack would begin again once they all gathered.

ᅠ

“Where are you guys from?!”

ᅠ

Goran shouted. The opponent only glowed with their eyes and did not respond.

ᅠ

“You must know this is Count Jarpen’s territory! You are violating the laws of Count Jarpen’s state right now!”

ᅠ

The opponent still did not respond. If they were the type to be shaken by this, they wouldn’t have attacked in the first place. Goran clenched his teeth.

ᅠ

“If you continue to fight, we will fight to the end. Are you prepared for that?”

ᅠ

Bandits often retreat when they find the opponent too tough.

ᅠ

However, the enemies approached even closer. The hands of a mercenary with a bow trembled.

ᅠ

“What shall we do?”

ᅠ

“We are already surrounded. Get ready to fight shoulder to shoulder! Running away is. . .”

ᅠ

At that moment, a scream erupted. It was not from Goran’s mercenary group but from the attackers.

ᅠ

????????????????????????

ᅠ

The first to react to the attack was Johan. Precisely, he woke up just before the attack started. The murderous intent of the enemies had stimulated Johan’s instincts.

ᅠ

‘An attack?!’

ᅠ

Johan wondered if he had been too complacent. He thought they wouldn’t follow since Karamaf had disappeared. . .

ᅠ

Johan quickly put on his helmet. There seemed to be no time to don chainmail.

ᅠ

‘I must run around the side of the hill.’

ᅠ

Fortunately, it seemed the mercenaries would attract the attention.
