ใ…ค

Caught off guard by an unexpected attack, the captain of the guards was so astonished that he only stared at the mercenaries pouring in from the side. Suetlg, unbelievably vigorous for an old man, shouted in a booming voice.

ใ…ค

โ€œForward, Crimson Iron Mercenary Company! Advance, St. Galanto Holy Knightsโ€™ Order! Itโ€™s time to fulfill our contract with the city!โ€

ใ…ค

Any other mercenaries would have hesitated or even fled in the face of hundreds of elite attackers. But not these.

ใ…ค

The Crimson Iron Mercenary Company, renowned for its loyal dwarf mercenaries, and the St. Galanto Holy Knightsโ€™ Order, paladins whoโ€™d rather die than break their vows, did not hesitate.

ใ…ค

Those in reserve quickly moved to flank without a momentโ€™s hesitation.

ใ…ค

โ€œFire!โ€

ใ…ค

At Captain Kumalโ€™s command, the dwarves unleashed their loaded crossbows on the approaching mercenaries.

ใ…ค

๐“๐ก๐ฎ๐-๐ญ๐ก๐ฎ๐-๐ญ๐ก๐ฎ๐!

ใ…ค

With heavy thuds, mercenaries fell, groaning. Some even tumbled over their shields.

ใ…ค

The dwarvesโ€™ crossbows were far more powerful than the lighter ones carried by the mercenaries. Though harder to reload, the dwarves had no intention of doing so.

ใ…ค

โ€œForm a shield wall! Hold formation! Do not retreat in the name of Red Iron! Our ancestors watch over us!โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œPraise be to my Rock, my fortress, my stronghold. . .โ€

ใ…ค

The St. Galanto Holy Knights, murmuring scripture, drank from leather pouches. Their eyes flashed wildly, entering a frenzied state.

ใ…ค

Suetlg recoiled at the sight. Aware of the paladinsโ€™ ferocity, it was still unsettling to witness.

ใ…ค

โ€œIn the name of St. Galanto, charge!โ€

ใ…ค

The holy water crafted through the St. Galanto Holy Knightsโ€™ Orderโ€™s mystical vision compelled them to fight relentlessly until death.

ใ…ค

In this dire situation, Suetlg had no choice but to rely on these zealots. He took out a vial and began chanting.

ใ…ค

โ€œO River Ipaรซl, I, a mere mortal who knows your secrets, beseech you. . .โ€

ใ…ค

Then, a thick mist began to rise from behind, obscuring everything. The dwarves and paladins were now hidden.

ใ…ค

โ€œWizard-nim! You are amazing!โ€

ใ…ค

The captain of the guard expressed admiration. Such a response to a sudden attack was impressive.

ใ…ค

The enemies who attempted the surprise attack were fiercely counterattacked by the reserve forces, and the situation became even more confusing for them as the fog rolled in from behind. No matter how elite, there was no one who wouldnโ€™t be flustered in such a situation.

ใ…ค

Doubts about whether they had fallen into a trap!

ใ…ค

This doubt slowed their steps.

ใ…ค

โ€œYour Excellency Baron, They are stronger than we thought! This isnโ€™t what you said?!โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œReinforcements will be arriving soon. Didnโ€™t I say I brought a troll!โ€

ใ…ค

Baron Eiven cursed the scribe. They needed to quickly drive the troll to the opposite flank of the enemy, but what were they doing? It was certain that someone was slacking off somewhere.

ใ…ค

The battles in this world were extremely uncertain and chaotic. Most things did not go according to plan, and it was almost impossible to communicate if one was just a little apart from others.

ใ…ค

Still, things almost went as expected. The punitive force that underestimated the rogue gangs went deep in, and now if they are defeated just once, they will collapse on their own.

ใ…ค

โ€œDonโ€™t think of retreating, push forward. I will not forgive any tricks! If you back down here, you all will be hanged at the gallows.โ€

ใ…ค

Upon hearing the Baronโ€™s words, the mercenary captain nodded. He too had spoken not with the intention of retreating, but to urge the Baron.

ใ…ค

A mercenary caught doing rogue activities receives no mercy. They were either sold as slaves or hanged.

ใ…ค

To return with gold in hand, victory was necessary, even if the opponent was a frenzied paladin or a dwarf.

ใ…ค

The mercenary captain tightened his helmet strap and shouted.

ใ…ค

โ€œAttack! Reinforcements will come soon. They are exhausted! They will collapse now!!โ€

ใ…ค

๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ

ใ…ค

โ€œSo, the Emperor set this up because he was displeased with Marcel city that regularly pays gold to his opposition? Such petty actions.โ€

ใ…ค

Since he couldnโ€™t take the nobles for a proper trial, he either fabricated evidence for assassination, or resorted to such underhanded tactics instead of openly attacking the city with soldiers.

ใ…ค

All this was due to his lack of power. Had the Emperorโ€™s power been strong, he wouldnโ€™t have resorted to such actions.

ใ…ค

The Emperor, who ascended to the throne by the votes of the lords, had no power outside his own fiefdom but constantly coveted more.

ใ…ค

It was natural for the nobles managing their own fiefdoms to resist.

ใ…ค

โ€œThe nobles are now uprising against the Emperorโ€™s tyranny. That b*stard Emperor doesnโ€™t deserve the crown!โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œY-Yes, you are right.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œShut your mouth! You despicable creature. Speak nonsense one more time and Iโ€™ll tear you apart.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œIโ€™m sorry! Iโ€™m so sorry!โ€

ใ…ค

An elf knight angrily retorted to the scribe who tried to flatter him. He felt like beheading him on the spot.

ใ…ค

Meanwhile, Johan was reassessing his thoughts. What was the most important thing in this situation?

ใ…ค

Joining the main force in battle was obvious, but above all. . .

ใ…ค

โ€˜๐˜Š๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜‰๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜Œ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ.โ€™

ใ…ค

He was of high hostage value as a noble, and the best to trouble the Emperor in this affair. Even if the tail is cut off, Baron Eiven, as a well-known limb of the Emperor, canโ€™t escape blame. Anyone with eyes would recognize him. . .

ใ…ค

โ€œSir, give the command. If itโ€™s your order, Iโ€™ll gladly follow.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œNo, just as usual. . .โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œRight, I can happily follow Sir Johanโ€™s command. Please, give your order.โ€

ใ…ค

Johan was disgusted by the overly friendly elf knights. Honestly, he didnโ€™t get along with the elf knights. He would accept gratitude for saving their lives but didnโ€™t want to become personally close.

ใ…ค

Still, the elf knights continued to approach him in a friendly manner.

ใ…ค

โ€œWhere are you from in the Empire, do you know any nobles, have you thought about joining under Count Bartok, how much debt do you owe to the merchants. . .โ€

ใ…ค

Thanks to that, Johan let out a sigh of relief when he spotted the battlefield in the distance.

ใ…ค

โ€œWell done, Karamaf.โ€
