How to live as a wanderer

The ambassador wasn't even wearing proper armor. It was to lower Ulrich's vigilance.

And there are dozens of them. An army of Ulrich behind you is ready to be crushed.

But all of that changed when we captured Wolice.

Ulrike is coming forward to greet the surrender envoy!

All we have to do is catch this Ulrike. There are only a few knights and teachers who are being careless around Ulrike.

This much can be caught by surprise!

Tak!

Damn it!

The leading man, the messenger, sharpened his teeth. This mission is to advance as a minor noble without territory.

All I had to do was reach out and grab the Urike close by...

A mad knight in the back shouts, and Ulrike falls out. Thanks to this, my hands were pathetically floating through the air.

But it didn't matter. Ulrich's army was far behind him, and they were right in front of him.

“Just stop it! ”

The knights and clerks beside Ulrich quickly dodged back and forth, noticing the situation and making their move. I could see how urgent it was.

Heave!

However, the enchantment of the envoy was not unusual. You stab the knights in armor, aiming for the critical point of attack. It was clear that the swordsmen who had mastered the shortsword in the sword guild had mastered it.

No matter how well you cover yourself, you can't completely cover yourself. The knight falls with a scream as the four stab with a short sword from all sides.

The knights said that the secretary was no different. The teachers of the law fell by the sword.

Suddenly, the blockers disappeared. No matter how hard I tried, I had to sweat.

And John arrived.

“Huh?"

Puck!

You hear the sound of the blade piercing your body somewhere, and one of the assailants looks down at you curiously.

Longsword is plugged in.

John threw it in as he charged in. The assailant who ran in front of you is breathless.

“How dare you! ”

Another assailant comes at John with a cursing speech. John throws the Longsword away, bare and naked. You wear a thick chain mail, but if you can't catch a match like this, you don't qualify as a swordsman.

Puck!

John closest the opposing team's shortsword, blocking it with the armor part of his arm, and smashing it with power. The headache breaks and the attacker is saved.

Ulrich's eyes widen as he looked behind him.

Kill Marcel's Trolls! ’

I felt like I didn't know why the title was stuck.

“Stay back! They can't kill you! ”

“! ”

Ulice understands John's words and sticks up for him. John had no choice but to stay apart and be caught and held hostage.

“Kill!! Kill and catch!”

The raiders shout. They knew exactly what they were doing.

If we don't get to Ulrike before the soldiers running behind us arrive, we'd rather die in horror!

John circles the area as they rush in from everywhere.

It didn't matter how hard you fought, but it didn't matter if you took the Urike.

“...! ”

John kicks the tent post with his foot. It was a temporary, open tent, but it was shallow enough for the column to be pulled out with its feet.

The rope!

The tent collapses in front of you and interrupts the raiders.

“!!! ”

John picks up the pillar and punches the running man in the face. The massive, elongated pillar itself was a powerful weapon. The attackers holding one of the shortcodes are unable to dig in.

“Cursed by this devil...! ”

One of the raiders mutters.

John, in his view, was the one who contracted with the Devil. If not, how can such a force be possible?

The castle wasn't the only front door. There was also an anagram.

It was an important strategic location, such as sneaking out or being used for a lord's escape.

And one of the roles of this book was the passageway through which the raiders came out.

Nobody was stupid enough to go out the front door and get ambushed.

The cavalry in the castle came out cautiously through the cancer.

Their goal was simple.

If the ambassadors ambush Ulrich and capture him, it will give them time to come and drag him into the castle.

I did, but...

“...? ”

“! ”

The cavalry approaches from the road in a panic. No matter how strange the situation was.

The emissaries are nowhere to be seen, and Ulrich's forces are advancing close to the walls, leaving their lives in a violent place.

“To the gates of Raan! We're going to the gates of Raan! ”

“Bypass! Bypass! ”

The chief noticed quickly, so they were able to break the horse's head without charging in.

When you return from an ambush, it is principle to enter another portal. They snap their horses and rush out the other door.

“Gerdolf, orders! ”

“Kill them all. Kill them all.”

Gerdolf grunts roughly. I realized why John told me to bring mercenaries here.

You mean kill them!

Gerdolf lunges, grinning. You see the enemies' faces whitening with unexpected reactions. It was very pleasant to see.

“Ugh.”

“Why are you fighting so foolishly?! ”

Suetlq grips John's arm and checks. Luckily, no muscles or bones seemed to break.

I did something crazy like that, but God helped me feel fine.

“I needed a long weapon, but I didn't have it in my hands right away. ”

“That's the dumbest reason I've ever heard. No matter how powerful you are, it's stupid to overdo it. ”

“I'm fine, just a little tired, so you don't have to worry. ”

Suetlq looks bored.

Even for a strong business, it was normal to get sick for a few days after doing something like that or get hurt somewhere.

However, John seemed to have no impact other than a slight fatigue.

If this were not the blessing of God, what would it be?

“So what's a Ulrike ball doing? ”

“I'm furious with my head, and I'm preparing for revenge. And they're looking for you. ”

“Come with me. ”

“No. I'll be here. ”

“I will not be harmed by gratitude. ”

“Then even more so, you can go back alone. I'm done.”

Suetlq didn't want to see Ulrich much.

Johann had a lot to gain by politically intertwining, but Suetlg didn't want anything more from Ulrich.

Rather, I had a lot of work for Ulrike to do for him.

“Prince Ulrich wishes to see you. ”

“Wait a moment. We must persuade him. ”

“The Prince wishes to see you alone...? ”

“...... ”

Suetlq looks very subtle. I didn't want to meet her, but I didn't call her again, so I felt subtle.

“Then I'll just go and get it. ”

“Be careful not to get eaten. ”

Survivors are tied to columns near Ulrich's tent.

They were soon to be executed in the most cruel manner in front of the castle.

“Sir, welcome. ”

“Thank you very much for your service. ”

The Knights trembling in anger stopped their swearing and behaved politely when John appeared. That's how great it was.

If we hadn't defeated the attackers by ourselves, Ulrike could have been taken hostage. All I could think about was my heart sank.

“? ”

John looks at the knights curiously. I have to go in, but I can't believe you're not touching an armed weapon.

“Shouldn't we draw our weapons? ”

“The ball has given his permission. You can just go in. ”

John mysteriously went inside. Ulrike was alone in the tent. Ulrike looks at the map and looks up at John as he drags something in.

“Do you want something? ”

“? ”

“What you want. Didn't you think of that? ”

In Ulrich's words, John replied with a grave expression.

“I don't want anything... I just want to finish what I came here for. ”

If Ulrich is captured, John's position is very twisted, too. He doesn't roll his head for anything in that situation. John wasn't that smart.

Ulrich's expression makes him uncomfortable.

Those who are thorough in their own income calculations are uncomfortable if the opponent doesn't match them.

From Ulrich's point of view, I didn't like John asking for the price first, and I didn't like him very much. The feeling of indebtedness does not go away.

“You can speak comfortably. ”

“That's all right. Unlike the last time, I'll keep my example as public." ”

Ulice's mind became even more uncomfortable with John's words. John wondered.

Isn't the answer supposed to satisfy Wolice?

“... tell me. ”

“Actually, I own the tax rights in Heincat. ”

“...... ”

Ulrike is silently thinking. And after 10 seconds, he said,

“Tell Stefan. You're scavenged.”

“Actually, I'm here to negotiate for it. ”

“Damn you! What were you thinking, going to the subjugation...”

Ulrich realizes he made a mistake.

I should have known when my idiot brother hired mercenaries to rob me of all the money he had.

It was not for the purpose of the air force, but to sell their territorial rights well.

“Lord Stefan agreed. I'm going to sell this tax right back to the ball. ”

“To me?"

“Yes. Isn't the ball the rightful owner of this territory?" ”

“No more salutations. What if I don't want to buy it? ”

“If you don't want to buy, you'll have to find someone else. Bishop Mohawk is fine, or there will be a council... and there are a lot of people who want to have tax rights. I want you to understand that I'm trying to give you back your rightful place in the ball, and that it's in good faith. ”

John's relaxed, relaxed voice strangely bothers me.

But John was right.

It was a loss to get the tax rights into the hands of others because of emotions.

“And one more thing. ”

“? ”

“If you pay tax, I want you to save Stefan's life. ”

“Did he give you an ass?! Why the fuck wouldn't she take care of him? ”

Ulrike finally exploded.

John bludgeoned Stefan so hard he couldn't understand.

She said to herself, "You know what?

She was jealous. That little brother has a knight he doesn't have.

“I didn't touch your butt... I'm trying to keep a promise, first of all. ”

“Fine! Let's say I buy tax rights. Tell them I'll pay you back. And then what if he kills Stefan? ”

“Then there's nothing I can do. ”

John replied calmly. Ulrike was embarrassed by the unexpected answer.

“Wha... what? ”

“I'm not Stefan's father, and I can't protect him for the rest of my life. If you kill him, you can't help it. ”

“...... ”

“If the ball wants to break his promise, so be it. I don't care. Stefan and I didn't make any promises. ”

Ulice felt defeated for some reason by John's words.

Obviously, he had the right to decide, but I couldn't argue with John's words.

In front of Johann, he didn't say, 'I don't care what I promised, I'll kill Stefan.'

“... Okay. I'll let him live. He was the one who had no reason to kill him anyway. Tell him never to wander off again. ”

“You probably learned a lot without me saying it. ”

“Ha! If I'd known he'd learn, I wouldn't have tried to kill him. ”

Ulice took a few deep breaths and said:

“Now that I've told you the story, let me tell you my story. Aren't you curious why you called? ”

“Oh, yeah. I was very curious.”

"This son of a..."

John was politely irritating. Ulice insisted.

“Do you intend to receive your territory? ”

“...! ”

“Wait. Hear me out before I tempt you. I have no habit of lying to people who take my land. You can't just take it. If you want it, you have to fight a few more times. ”

“For example, attacking that castle? ”

“Yes."
