How to live as a wanderer

“...... ”

The other swordsmen freeze at the sight of their fallen comrades in blood.

What did you just see?

Since they were from the same swordsmanship guild, they knew exactly what their colleagues did. After striking the opposing Pokémon sideways with the incoming attack from above, it is a skill used by several swordsmanship guilds.

Then why didn't you stop him?

In a confusing situation, the gas has barely concluded.

“His strength is unusual! Do not engage the weapon! ”

I saw it clearly with gas.

When Mace is hit, it explodes like an arrow!

I couldn't believe it, but...

If the opposing Pokémon has superhuman strength, that explains what they just saw. Even if I didn't believe it, I had to believe it only for one reason.

"Don't engage the weapon"? ’

"The knights' swords are fierce, but no matter how..."

The swordsmen stared at John and thought,

While knights' swordsmanship is a predominantly family vision, it varies greatly from region to region, it is basically considered that fighting in armor is not that much of a focus on skills and techniques.

But to some extent, I've never seen a technology that pushes the force itself, as I just saw.

The move overwhelms the Pokémon.

I heard it so heavily in my body, but I never felt empty like now.

Does technology really work against overwhelming forces?

‘It ended easier than I thought. ’

John also looked at the swordsmen.

The fight that just happened was unexpected. I thought I'd trade a few more attacks.

Those who deal with John think that John is the same person. But that was irreversible.

When I confronted John, I thought he was a monster.

A monster in a human hood.

Monsters that can be torn apart with super-strength if caught!

"Hmm…"

I can feel the swordsmen being blatantly vigilant. I can see that John will step on the pedestal and fall back when he charges.

A brief showdown.

‘One, two. Three.’

The target's breathing is not difficult to read. John feels that the time has come. He throws the mace in his hand like lightning.

“Huff!”

It looks like a stone was thrown from a catapult.

The swordsman, who was stiff, was thrown around by Mace. It seems unusual that he fell to the ground and couldn't move. John picks up Longsod without hesitation.

The swordsmen stagger further back. The mercenaries surround you.

“Go, gas... what do I do? Do we have to keep dealing with that? ”

“... I surrender! ”

“What are you doing?! ”

The Guard Commander cries out in panic, but the Gas rushes right into the Guard Commander's throat. The other swordsman caught the Guard Commander.

Enemies have come this far means that the outer walls and gates have already been taken over.

I'd rather surrender than die guarding the Guard Commander in this situation. I don't know about anything else, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to die in here if I have to deal with that monster.

“You're quite resourceful. Take your weapons! You can slaughter them if you try anything. ”

At John's words, mercenaries rushed in and disarmed the swordsman and the defender captain. John looks at the squabbling leader and asks.

“Tell me the situation inside the castle. ”

“Shut up! I swear to God, there's nothing to tell this invader. If reinforcements come soon, you bastards...”

Gerdolf punches the defender's abdomen. The Guard Commander bends and gathers up what he ate yesterday. John looks at the swordsmen and asks,

“What do you know? ”

“I know! A lot!”

“These traitors...! That's why you lowlifes! I gave you silver coins like that! A swordsmanship guild is more expensive...”

“Still not ready to surrender? ”

John asked, looking at the Defense Captain. The commander spits instead of answers. John nods.

“Kill.”

“Yes?”

The mercenary who was holding him was embarrassed. He was originally from a noble family.

I'm not a high-ranking nobleman with territory, but even a lowly nobleman would be a reluctant opponent for a mercenary. I'd rather catch him than kill him.

Puck!

Gerdolf wields a short Warhammer and slashes the Defense Captain's head. It didn't matter where the Guard Commander came from or what family he was from.

I'll do it!

The butcher's name wasn't just given to him. Gerdolf, who choked the Guard Commander, approaches the mercenary who was holding him. And I grabbed her neck.

“Cough, cough. Gerdolf, what are you doing? ”

“What are you doing, Gerdolf? ”

“You bastard, you didn't take orders. ”

“No! I was embarrassed! ”

“Let him go.”

Gerdolf puts the mercenary on the spot, John says. The mercenary breathes barely.

“I'm sorry, John. I will never disobey an order again. ”

“Done. I followed you here and you doubt your loyalty." ”

John's words impress the mercenaries. Gerdolf grabs the next opponent and picks up the Warhammer. As Gerdolf's arm rises, the swordsmen panic.

“Why, why are you doing this! I told you!”

“Ah. I'm sorry. He's a very loyal knight. So what's going on here? ”

“The wall was ambushed and the commander was about to go to the rescue himself. ”

“Is there a Holy Spirit inside the Resistance? ”

“Yes...”

“Do you have a location? ”

“For now...”

John made his decision right away.

“Let's go inside. I'll get the Holy Spirit first!"

The soldiers in the Ulrich camp who were waiting noticed something strange. We've spotted some runaway soldiers.

“Isn't that running away? ”

“What? That doesn't make any sense... really? ”

The guards who wandered through the mist and fled to the Ulrike camp screaming and running again.

“What's going on? ”

“I need you to open the door...”

Several knights mutter in confusion. Originally, I had to defeat the cancer and send mercenaries to call for reinforcements.

I thought it might be a distraction, but seeing the enemies flee the castle, I don't think so.

“You're fighting, aren't you? ”

“The fog keeps me in the dark...”

The fog makes you reluctant to attack. Then Stefan stepped out.

“We need backup now! ”

“...... ”

The knights look very grumpy. You might have heard the other guy's opinions, but Stefan tells me it's hard to accept.

“Let's look at the situation a little more. ”

“What if John dies? ”

“Lord Johann is not that easy to die for. And now that you seem to be fighting...”

“Then what if Lord Stefan only supports the soldiers with him? ”

Suttleg, who was listening, put out a buffer. Even the knights couldn't disagree with Stefan's support of the mercenaries.

After returning to their camp, Suttleg looks at Stefan and says, His expression was full of surprises.

“You've come up with a good idea. In this situation, the opponent will be confused, so they won't be able to attack easily even if they get close. ”

“Ah... I thought so, too. Of course.”

Of course, Stefan didn't think so.

Even when John returned from negotiations with Ulrich, Stefan could not trust him.

Ulrich really saved my life?

Well, if you get drunk one night, you might want to kill again, so you might want to avoid wandering around.

... tax rights?

He said he would give you gold, certificates, and objects. He said he would give it to me as soon as the siege was over.

Are you sure you met Wolice? Ulrich is not an easy man to accept.

I don't know what you've been through in the past, but at least I don't think the ball looks like someone who would break a promise for no reason.

Did he mix up in the short term? ’

It was really amazing, but John seemed to like Woolice. It was clear to me.

But Stefan was still afraid of Ulrike. If John were to die, there was nothing wrong with Wolleke breaking his promise.

"You can't let John die! ’

“Let's go! Follow me! ”

Fortunately, the mercenaries follow Stefan.

When the employer said he was going to help John, everyone left without saying a word. Of course, his face was filled with curiosity.

“Did you think that knight would fight? ”

“Well... I hear he's blind...”

The sound of chattering from behind.

Usually, I would be angry right away, but I couldn't be angry at this point. Stefan grips his teeth and draws his men close to the wall. Your body stiffens in fear of arrows flying.

‘The fog is too heavy to shoot here. Definitely…!'

I thought so, but the fear didn't go away. Moreover, the wall is strangely quiet. It was even scarier.

As Stefan rolls his head to see what's going on, the mercenaries rush in.

“You have to give the order! ”

“Are they sticking to the dark door? Or climb up walls? ”

“Quiet! I'm worried...”

At that time, an annoying sound echoes through the fog. It was the sound of the gate lifting up.

“??? ”

“What, what? ”

The mercenaries heard the weapon first, but something seemed off about it.

Why are they coming out of the gate? Crouching inside is not enough time.

People come out of the fog. The mercenaries wait, staring only at Stefan. We were waiting for orders to come out, but Stefan couldn't afford to give them either.

“What, are you here to help? ”

“?!?!? ”

It was John who opened the gate. In one hand, John held a man he had never seen. His face was covered with blood.

Neither Johann's party, Wolkedo, nor the garrison themselves knew, but the situation inside the castle was unclear.

When it became clear that someone had crossed the wall in a dense fog, the guards were already terrified because they thought the wall was occupied.

Fear spread even more over the walls while John was cleaning out the soldiers in the courtyard.

A situation of tiredness and hunger. Some quickly notice the fog, climbing down the wall and escaping out.

But it was a situation that could be fixed somehow.

However, the commander of the guard, who had to calm the soldiers down, ran quickly and was captured by John and died.

The Dozens, who were in charge of the soldiers, fell into a panic after the Guard Commander was disconnected.

One of the Dozens ran away, and that was it.

Just as the dam broke to its limit, the soldiers found a way to live and fled.

And at that time, John was searching for the Holy Spirit through the resistance. I had no idea that the garrison outside was compromised.

“Seong-ju is on the third floor? ”

“Yes! Yes! ”

Resistance was a narrow place with no empty space except for thick towers. The first floor of the tower used to be a warehouse or a kitchen, and there was a living space from the top.

‘I don't think we're going to get away with this. ’

The Holy Spirit will know this castle better than John. There was nothing strange about a secret passageway or two. The user runs to catch the target before it figures it out.

“Is there a way out? ”

“Well, that's it for us...”

The captured swordsmen said nervously. Since the Guard Commander was also killed by a dagger, there is no one here to guarantee his life.

I had to be useful somehow!

“Where are you from? ”

“From Arlene, Central Empire. ”

“It's a long way. How did you get here? ”

“A borrowing order has been issued to the guild... Lord Karamaf has sent us this way. ”

“! ”

John was surprised when he came up with an unexpected name. Karamaf sent them?

“Karamaf? Did you see his face? ”

“No way, we're not going to confront him. And Lord Karamaf... This is a rumor, but there is a rumor that he has a serious illness...”
