โ€œShit. . . Iโ€™m going to get scolded by Sir Karamaf.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œDamn. It doesnโ€™t matter. It doesnโ€™t matter anyway. If thereโ€™s a fire, theyโ€™ll escape on their own. Keep an eye on the surroundings.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œWhat if the fire spreads? I donโ€™t want to burn to death in a place like this.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œTheyโ€™ll escape before that. Hold your position. Itโ€™s better than getting beheaded by Karamaf, isnโ€™t it?โ€

ใ…ค

๐“๐ก๐ฎ๐!

ใ…ค

โ€œ!!โ€

ใ…ค

Against the flickering flames, a man burst out. The chattering mercenaries quickly threw their spears as if they had been waiting.

ใ…ค

๐“๐ก๐ฐ๐š๐œ๐ค!

ใ…ค

โ€œ?!โ€

ใ…ค

The thrown spear was caught mid-air. Initially, the mercenary didnโ€™t realize his spear was caught. He had thought it pierced through. Only when the man charged with the spear in hand did he realize.

ใ…ค

โ€œShi. . .โ€

ใ…ค

Johanโ€™s charging momentum emitted a fear that shrank hearts. Holding a mercenaryโ€™s spear in one hand and raising a longsword like an executioner in the other, the mercenary didnโ€™t even have time to finish his curse.

ใ…ค

Longswords are usually wielded with two hands, but Johan handled it effortlessly and skillfully as if it were a shortsword.

ใ…ค

๐–๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ฆโ”

ใ…ค

Swung with one hand, it made a tremendous sound, louder than a two-handed swing. The mercenaryโ€™s head flew off.

ใ…ค

Like a lion tearing through sheep, Johan cut down the mercenaries, realizing the truths in Kaegalโ€™s words. He was a lion. He would have been a lion even without learning from Kaegal.

ใ…ค

โ€œThis crazy. . . Ack!โ€

ใ…ค

Johan threw the snatched spear. Though he had never thrown a javelin before, the spear whistled through the air, piercing the chest of a charging mercenary. Thrown with such force, the spear went halfway through the body and stuck in the ground.

ใ…ค

The mercenaries, standing a bit away, hesitated to approach, instinctively paralyzed by fear. Johan didnโ€™t bother to kill them all. Escaping the encirclement was enough. There was no need to waste time.

ใ…ค

Then, people from the Aitz family ran out of the feudal lordโ€™s manor. Enduring next to the fire, they started running with all their might.

ใ…ค

Seeing this, the mercenaries panicked. With their small numbers, the death of two opened a path.

ใ…ค

โ€œShoot!!โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œDamn, these crazy b*stards. . .โ€

ใ…ค

The mercenaries hastily drew their crossbows. But Johan had already run into the darkness, and the Aitz family was descending the hill. They managed to shoot down one more, but the rest escaped.

ใ…ค

โ€œWeโ€™re screwed. . .!โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œWhatโ€™s going on?โ€

ใ…ค

Karamaf, who had dealt with all the servants in the annex, returned. Yein also looked at the mercenaries with stern eyes.

ใ…ค

โ€œThat. . . one guy broke through and the rest followed. . . escaped.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œTwo are dead. Youโ€™re saying one did this?โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œYes. He suddenly appeared and attacked. . .โ€

ใ…ค

Karamaf pondered. Even with a sudden ambush, was it possible to kill two men so quickly?

ใ…ค

Yein spoke from the side.

ใ…ค

โ€œOne of the Aitz sons was very strong. He wasnโ€™t trained, but. . .โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œWhy are you only saying this now?โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œSorry. I didnโ€™t think it would matter.โ€

ใ…ค

Yein thought this job would end with just the arrest of Sir Gessen. Moreover, the guy had no training. It wouldnโ€™t have been strange if he hadnโ€™t mentioned it. Knowing this, Karamaf didnโ€™t bother to scold him. He had to consider the dignity of the Rothtain family as well.

ใ…ค

โ€œImpressive.โ€

ใ…ค

After surveying the situation, Karamaf was purely amazed by Johanโ€™s physical abilities. To kill two mercenaries in a flash and escape was remarkable. Moreover, the way he killed them was astounding. It felt like a tremendous brute force just by looking.

ใ…ค

If Gessen had raised him properly, he could have been a formidable knight.

ใ…ค

However, Gessen was foolish and his son a novice. Karamaf had killed more threatening and experienced knights before.

ใ…ค

Today, Gessenโ€™s son would die, just like Gessen.

ใ…ค

โ€œWhat about their armament?โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œThe one who broke out was well-armed, the others were unarmed.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œThen except for one, none can leave the fiefdom. I will chase them. The rest of you, watch the feudal lordโ€™s manor.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œThe fire is spreading, Karamaf-nim.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œSo?โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œ. . .I will ensure that the remaining ones donโ€™t escape.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œWhen the main force arrives, secure the fiefdomโ€™s entrances and search thoroughly. Do it right. I will not forgive a second failure. Yein Rothtain, I entrust you with the command here.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œYes! Sir Karamaf.โ€

ใ…ค

With that, Karamaf finished his instructions and mounted his horse.
