How to live as a wanderer

“Come with me. ”

“Are you sure you want to do this?”

“What does that mean? ”

“You're going to be subjugated. Are you okay?" ”

John also noticed.

The subjugation failed after agreeing to ascend with the Supreme Court, and summoning him meant there was room for knights.

Perhaps he will cooperate in the subjugation in the name of the council.

“Do you think it's my first time joining the Punitive Force? It's enough to protect one of my own. I prophesied it, and now you must answer for it. ”

Suetlq's slaves are ready to leave the courtyard. Gordon quickly saddles his horse. It seemed to feel threatened by the slaves he serves.

Marcel was a structure that rolled into the elected Tribunes and the rest of the veterans. Here, the veterans were made up of guilds and nobles of the city, not of the common people, but of course of the powerful people.

The head of the Chamber of Commerce, Iaon, is of course a member of the Grand Society.

This meant that of course, you had to participate in the response of the subjugation failure.

However, Iaon was relaxed. He listened to Suttleg's prophecy and prepared it. The roadblocks are blocked, and we have supplies ready for mobilization. Fortunately, she wasn't the one who recommended the failed mercenaries.

I have nothing to lose in this, and nothing else to gain. It was my happiest time as a merchant.

You're the one who recommended the Oak Mercenaries! What happened is that over 500 people cannot subdue a group of bandits!

What's worse is the rumors that they've been fighting bandits. How can you stand up to bandits without the commander of the mercenary army going crazy?

Calm down.Bradyl, the Mercenary Captain, had a good reputation. We all agreed.

We need to figure out what to do! The roads are blocked right now, so there's no salt coming up.

There's a river. The north and west are open.

Are you kidding me? Will you pay the difference?

Stop it! As an officer, I will order you to subdue as soon as possible. If the mercenary commander has conspired with a band of bandits, this is not the case. All veterans must mobilize as many troops as possible. I will not allow you to pass through the shield.

The marshals nodded at the words of the Praetor. Like it or not, they agreed with the Tribune. This had to be done quickly.

The veterans who were about to leave were tasting better. I tried to get out of here with the money, but the Praetor nailed me first.

Hiring the middle class was easy, but I couldn't do it in this situation. Considering the face of the Praetor, I had to hire the right mercenaries.

After taking a break, Iaon went to the business.

The Khettana Council is already prepared. Would you like to join us?

Huh. Can I do that?

Of course I do.

I shouldn't have to pay my shield duty, but I didn't care about recruiting mercenaries with the other veterans. Iaon took a lot of money from some of the veterans and made a name for himself.

By the way, who are the mercenaries employed by the Kettana Council?

Dwarf mercenaries.

...!

“We took care of it as you said. Sir Johann. The three of them were sold to the fishermen. Sir Johann, a man named Gamson was executed. ”

John nods. I didn't care about the three guys they took from town, but Gamson led the charge himself. I needed a clear punishment.

Gamson, who was beaten by mercenaries, was dragged before he regained consciousness and executed in the name of the Chamber of Commerce.

John took the bag that Iaon gave him.

“You didn't have to reward those mercenaries... but I gave them some silver coins, as Lord Johann said. ”

“If you have a compassionate heart, God will reward you. ”

“...... ”

When Iaon makes a subtle look on his face, he makes a joke, and Suetlg is absurd. What's the point of saying that in front of a merchant?

“What mercy... don't you know her blood is golden? ”

“That's a joke. ”

“Don't make jokes because you don't know how to take jokes. ”

During the two bickering, Iaon gave a wake-up call with an empty cough.

“Sir Johann. The other day, you said you would not hesitate to fight under the flag of the council. Are you still sure about that decision? ”

“That's right.”

“The city is forming a punitive force to wipe out the bandits I told you about. We're going to hire mercenaries to join us. Please join us there.”

John nods. I was getting ready for it in the first place.

Iaon said with a nervous expression, swallow once. The next word was something she needed to be prepared for as well.

“And... I need you to follow the orders of our mercenary commander." ”

“I will.”

“...? ”

Iaon is surprised and recovers his expression. John was embarrassed because he accepted it so easily.

No matter how sorry the knights from the noble family were, the commander of the mercenaries was not easily accepted. You have the pride of a knight.

However, John accepted it so easily. Iaon begins to feel the bold expression on John's face as if he had been bitten by a mysterious monster.

“Are you still okay with that? It's rare to find a knight under the command of mercenaries. ”

“If you got something, you got something for me. I decided to think about my pride later. ”

‘... I think you'd be a good person if you had a secretary or a secretary, not a knight. ’

Suetlq thought the people of John's family were pathetic. I can't believe you trained this guy to be a knight. I mean, I couldn't help but notice the size of it.

Dwarves in the Dwarf Mountains were beloved as mercenaries because of their stubborn, strong flesh and racial stubbornness.

The Dwarf mercenaries under the command of the Khettana Sanctuary were among them. For this subjugation, five Dwarf teenagers and a White Captain have arrived at Marcel.

John looks at the dwarves curiously. A shield that could cover half its body, carrying a large axe on its back, seems to move like small, hard walls.

“It's the White Captain Kumar. I'm asking you nicely, Sir Johann. ”

A large, good-looking dwarf with a long braid greets you sharply. He had heard the story before coming.

One of our knights will join us in battle.

Mr. Branch, it's hard for me to give orders if I'm a noble knight.

You said you would accept it.

...?

The manager was not a nonsense person, so he accepted it, but I had to worry as a white captain.

“I'll take good care of it. ”

“Sir Johann! Please make yourself comfortable. ”

“Aren't you embarrassed in front of your men? ”

“They don't doubt my authority just because you speak comfortably. Rather, I'm more uncomfortable. ”

“Then let's do it. ”

The dwarf nods with a bewildered look on his face. I was worried that I would listen well or not have a pride fight, but this was too different from what I expected. I didn't think it would be like this.

“Suetlq. Please take good care of it.”

“Yes, I'm asking you nicely. ”

Johann and Suetlq join the dwarves. Meanwhile, mercenaries are gathering at a camp near the city.

City Guard Soldiers and newly hired mercenaries will be at the forefront of this sweep. It was roughly 800, but it was much better qualitatively than the last Oak Mercenaries.

Moreover, the cards prepared by the veteran community were not over.

“The St. Igna Knights' Festival, the St. Galanto Knights' Festival...! ”

Gordon gives a startled voice to the flags of the paladins from afar.

A group of monks, knights, who pledged to fulfill the will of God with weapons instead of hiding them.

Technically, I was a monk, not a knight from the nobles, but no one ignored them. The paladins in the monastery were as skilled as the trained knights.

“Are they famous? ”

“Yes, my lord. Both are famous monasteries in the area. The Saint Igna Knights' Festival is where the Trolls were killed. ”

Approximately twenty female monks arrived, followed by thirty male monks. The St. Igna Knights' Society received women only, and the St. Galanto Knights' Society received men only.

They greet each other in an orderly fashion. Even the noisy mercenaries kept their mouths shut in front of the knights' convention.

“You look well armed and skilled. ”

“They don't ride horses. They're nothing compared to you. Hehe.”

Gordon grovels desperately. It was restlessness.

When he had to show off his abilities, John stayed in his mansion in Suettleg. Thanks to the servants at his mansion, Gordon had no chance to do anything.

“Your skills are not determined by your presence or absence of a horse. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

Gordon is devastated by the feeling that he's had another fuck-up.

"They're really going to be sold as fishing nets at this rate... God..."

Without noticing Gordon's heart, John looks around the paladins. He wasn't riding, but he was well armed. It started out different from the mercenaries with a few chains on their armor.

“Oops. Here come the knights. ”

“Are you from the convent again? ”

“No. Knights like you. ”

Suetlq points to the other side. About thirty people are coming with the family flag. It was easy to find out who the knight was. The only three men in front were heavily armed, and the rest of them were hauling horses in the guard.

‘All three are Elves. ’

“Earl Bartok must have sent you. ”

“The Earl is not even in his own city. What's the matter? ”

“What could be the reason? ”

Suetlq circles himself with an indifferent look. The Earl also paid to send a story under him, which meant he was given a solid share by the city.

Unlike the monastery, the knights approached the camp slowly, slowly, and boastfully. Very unlucky. Seeing that, John suddenly thought.

Wait a minute... who's in command? ’

The city guard commander, the mercenary commanders, the convent, the real knights...

It was already a command system for dizziness.

“What's the matter? ”

“I was thinking about who was in command of these gatherings. ”

“You're worrying about everything. The mercenaries are the commanders of the guards, the knights' convention, and the knights will take care of the knights. ”

“Wouldn't it be convenient for the command system to be tied together? ”

“Wouldn't it be nice to fly around in the sky? Why aren't they flying? ”

“...... ”

“Don't worry, your enemies will play separately. ”

Suetlq doesn't feel any strange about the people here playing separately. Because this was normal.

Of course, there was no such mess in Johann's view. An army should have a more orderly system...

‘Ah, never mind. Just do my job. ’

Kill if you see an enemy, chase if you run, stop if you stop.

John was only willing to work as much as he received in the Punitive Battle. I get four Empire Silver Coins a day, that's all I get.
