How to live as a wanderer

‘Me too, Suttleg thought too lightly. ’

The tournament was not a place to lightly control and relax. The conspicuous ones were on the battlefield, attacking as they stood.

In order to survive, you have to defeat the opposing Pokémon. If you defeat the opposing Pokémon, you will have to get their attention naturally.

“Yulska of the Gemarti family! ”

“Johann of Yates. Come.”

Yulska sped up the horse with long hair. His eyes were filled with fury, but there was no shaking. She seemed like an experienced knight.

“Look out for him! The one who defeated Lord Boris. ”

“I know! ”

Ordinary knights charge on horses and do not stab you in the face when you thrust out your spear. I stabbed him diagonally. It was because I was afraid of the impact that followed.

However, John stabbed him in the face.

I don't know if it was because of lack of experience or because I was really confident in my strength, but as a result, John won and Boris fell.

Are you a famous knight? ’

Borisca of the Peteo family was a famous knight nearby, and they were his followers. John didn't know until then.

The two knights split to the sides, trying to attack John. We could read each other's meaning out loud.

You need a different way to defeat the opponent in this tournament, where you fight with a weapon without me.

You know, drop a drink, take off your helmet, break all your weapons...

The knights who were after John decided to aim for the camel and the helmet at the same time. The Pokémon strikes fiercely from above. John put his weight into the stirrups and flexed.

Horseback combat was more important than skillful swordsmanship. The two knights turn their heads back once more.

At that time, John stepped forward.

John wields his weapon without breathing. Even if the two of them came together, they couldn't agree on the same thing every time. John flies his fist toward the trunk of the first galloped knight.

Once, twice. Three times.

The third time, the knight fell. Yulska is appalled at the power to crush the opposing Pokémon, even though it blocks the attack on its shield.

But the fight isn't over yet. John wraps his shield around his arm and wields his remaining hand around Yulska's arm.

One more fall horse.

A shout came from the audience.

It seemed to people that John had defeated two knights at once.

“Johann of Yates!! ”

“Kill Marcel's Trolls!! ”

It's natural that the name of an active knight spreads so fast. Moreover, the mercenaries who followed John were excited about what kind of knight John was, drooling and chattering.

“Duke, you're amazing! I can't believe you recognized the power of a knight at first sight. I don't have the guts to guess. ”

“If you want to know how great the knight is, look at the hot soul he has. You can't hide your soul with any makeup. ”

Duke Breduhe's words impress the children. Of course, the duc was startled.

"I forgot who Earl Jarpen was..."

Unlike other nobles, Earl Jarpen was not in a position to make recommendations from blood and connections.

It must have been a worthy knight to the east.

The duc touched his forehead. He did not make a mistake openly, but reflected on his own judgment.

‘Still a long way off. God, I apologize for my arrogance. ’

“Sir Lucas is doing his part. Duke.”

“Yes, I see it. ”

After the first brawl and hardship, the talented knights stood out. Several knights have already defeated several and are making a breakthrough.

The Knights of the West are more fortunate.

According to the Knights of the East, there were many warriors from outside the Empire who were far from Imperial knights.

They wear light armor rather than heavy metal armor, prefer sleek, fit horses rather than big, muscular horses, and live by their own customs, not by faith and honor.

Of course, there were disadvantages to this imperial tournament.

Nevertheless, the knights from the east also came out.

The duc expects them to play, or lose, honorably. He watches the situation flow into sharp eyes.

If things go too against the Knights of the East, I'm going to declare war over in the name of the duc.

"Oh, that might unexpectedly end well. ’

After defeating the three knights, there were no scoundrels. He was too distracted to look around him, but he was also wary of John.

The enemy does not try to attack John without restraint.

The knights have been entangled, detached, and several small engagements.

Thanks to this, the space became more and more abundant, and John was free to wait in a distance.

‘I don't think those guys down there have any grudges. Friendship... well... It might be hard to build. You look a little thin. ’

“Enemy commander, take him down! ”

“Defeat the commander and we will prevail! ”

“! ”

John raises his head. The Knights of the West advance towards Aklada.

Aklada runs around like a centaurus, cleverly avoiding her enemies, but her knights are not as good. You insist on riding your horse and aiming for Aklada.

Since the fight was over the middle, it was more likely that the duc would declare the end of the fight if the commander fell or surrendered.

Fight with honor!

Look out, Centauri Knight!

Woo! God is watching!

Surprisingly, the crowd cheered for Aklada. Those who were reluctant to the Centauri had no choice but to acknowledge Aklada's honor in this situation.

More than five knights desperately joining forces in pursuit of one, it was not an honorable act of war.

“I surrender now, however, Centaurus! ”

“I'd be so excited if I had a bow in my hand, those humans would have died a long time ago! Why don't you go one-on-one? ”

“...... ”

The faces of the knights stabbed in the sickness shake. He thought he could not defeat Aklada one-on-one.

From the moment the knights arrived on horseback, the centaurs were born.

“ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■! ”

Along with the ferocious Eastern language, my cousin Euclia interrupts me with a spear. I thought the situation would reverse, but this time three more knights rushed to stop my cousin.

Aklada shouts in a hollow voice.

“Have you no face or honor? After what those savages who called me a savage did...”

“Shut that cursed bastard up! ”

“You Centauri bastard! ”

It is clear that Aklada's provocation has set the knights ablaze. The knights thundered. The fight didn't just end, it seemed like there was going to be blood.

The duc frowns. The hand was already holding the sword.

Draw your sword and the fight will be over.

And then John stepped out.

Strange reminds me of the Elven Knights. I was bored when we hung out, but when I fell, I felt like I was okay.

No, actually, they might be nice. If it were them, they'd be obstinate about one-on-one in that situation.

The knights should have been honored, but...

If all knights are honorable, why should honorable knights be praised?

Honor could not be easily defended. Everyone says we have to protect it, but only a few can protect it, so it was great.

So did the knights in front of us. John actually felt familiar.

Oh, these knights are people, too! But if you're in a hurry, you're acting like yourself!

But then Aklada's eyes met mine.

Aklada doesn't open her mouth, but she looks at John with a proud eye. I felt strongly asked for help.

If we get in here and start a hoax, we won't have much friendship after we're done with the Western knights.

Johann has decided to stand with the Centauri knights.

I didn't know which one was more beneficial. Maybe it was a loss. But to be honest...

The Centauri were more fond of them than the Knights.

“ ■ ■ ■ ■! ”

“Huff!”

When John ran back screaming that he would kill your parents and children in Eastern languages and bury them all in one place, Akkada nearly stumbled on her feet. It was the first time I was born.

“What did you say? ”

“What Eastern language is a knight from the Empire...? ”

Those who had fallen nearby or fallen away suddenly burst into laughter as they slapped on the Eastern language. Only the Knights of the West were embarrassed.

But Eastern languages were just the beginning.

“Knights fight one-on-one! ”

“Doc...”

John swings his sword at the helm of the unfortunate knight in front. The knight rolls sideways with a spark.

Next to him was another knight's shield. With all your might, the sword breaks as the enemy falls from the horse.

“Gotcha...”

The knight, who thinks his opponent has uncovered a gap, is excited to try to drive a horse, but John approaches first. The knight was surprised at John, who came at him with no weapon in his hand.

"How dare you?! ’

Tak!

John takes the mace from the knight's hand. The knight stares at John, bewildered by the fact that he was stolen. John answered with a mace.

In a flash, three people were lying around. John shouted to Euclia.

“! ”

The opponent, who was watching all of this, showed remarkable judgment. He turned his head and ran away.

A knight would know how humiliating and dishonorable it would be to run from here.

It was because John's strength was so frightening.

An enormous roar chases after the knight, and John mercilessly strikes the body of the knight who did not flee.

There was no knight in balance after a few hits with John's shield or whatever. Besides, on a horse.

“ ■ ■! ■ ■! ■ ■! ”

“If you say it like that, you won't understand! Speak slowly!”

John turns his head to the Centauri shrine, shouting in excitement.

The knights working with the Akkadians were distracted and unaware of the situation behind them. They turn their heads to the urgent shout only after John is glued to his evil face.

Behind you! Behind you!

“Ugh!”

One of the knights was not even hit, but he fell ridiculous. I panicked and fell to my side.

The crowd was so lost in laughter and rolling their feet.

"You have to face that..."

Stefan thought to himself,

They were smiling, but it wasn't weird when they got a camel. John's life was something more than just a knight.

“You must be pleased with Lord Johann's service! ”

“Ah… water, of course! ”

“Lord Johann has defeated another! ”

Kill Marcel's Trolls!

The enthusiasm reached its peak.

John, who was involved with the knights, dug a few holes for him. I endured the shock on my back and shoulders with my muscles as much as possible.

I made sure I paid the price. I exchanged attacks once, but John was the only one standing.

“Dammit! Are you a Knight Human?! ”

“Forward! Forward, you fool! ”

“Haha! I see it! ”

Aklada wags her spear in cheer.

John dismissed all the other knights, but left the one who appeared to be the leader of the enemy. Lucas of the Lazio family.

Spectators say, "Bless the great honor! ’I cried.

The prestigious action that was completely different from the many Western knights who joined together made the crowd boil.

John cried out in Eastern languages.

“Do you want help behind the scenes? ”

“No, thanks! ”

Aklada exclaims, sweating. He was tired of running, but Lord Lucas was not well. Lord Lucas insists that he is particularly tired.

Aclada understands Lucas' words better than Lucas himself. I'm sure Lucas would have thrown you off your game if you had a clean weapon.

Bang!

Aklada confronts Lukes' horse instead of striking the sword. Lucas' words scream and fall to his side.

“I'm sorry, you're an honorable friend! ”

Aklada apologizes to the horse in eastern language and swiftly aims a sword at Lord Lucas' neck. Lucas hesitates as he picks up the weapon he dropped.

“... I lost. ”

The Eastern Knights, who still have the strength to shout, raise their weapons to the sky. It was a sure victory.
