How to Live as a Wandering Knight

Chapter 18.2: ๐Š๐ง๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ, ๐Œ๐ž๐ซ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ญ, ๐Œ๐ž๐ซ๐œ๐ž๐ง๐š๐ซ๐ฒ, ๐’๐ฅ๐š๐ฏ๐ž (๐Ÿ‘)



โ€œDamn it. . .โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œWhat did you say?โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œNothing.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œHas this guy lost his mind? Iโ€™m trying to be nice and talk instead of beating, and he thinks Iโ€™m a goblin? Say it again, you idiot.โ€

ใ…ค

Khanโ€™s face turned fierce. He was older and gentler, but he had been a mercenary who had spent his life on the battlefield. He wouldnโ€™t stand for some blood-stained youngster arrogantly climbing up.

ใ…ค

Khan drew the weapon he was carrying. Gamson was startled when the amiable man suddenly drew his weapon. But he couldnโ€™t back down here. He also picked up a club.

ใ…ค

Khanโ€™s expression then turned cold. It was a situation that already warranted an apology, yet the other daringly drew a weapon.

ใ…ค

โ€œYou must be crazy to want to die. . . Goran has chosen the wrong person. Even in a hurry, to choose someone like this.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œW-Who do you think you are? Have you done anything for me?โ€

ใ…ค

Khanโ€™s gear was among the best in the mercenary group. A short sword, commonly known, and a shield made by overlaying bronze and leather. It was quite intimidating for Gamson, who only had a shining black club in the darkness.

ใ…ค

โ€œEven if I get scolded by Goran, I must kill the likes of you.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œDamn it. . .โ€

ใ…ค

๐“๐ก๐ฎ๐!

ใ…ค

What interrupted their conversation was an arrow flying in between them. Both were shocked when the arrow landed between them.

ใ…ค

โ€œ?!?!โ€

ใ…ค

Khan quickly lowered his body and turned the shield towards the direction of the incoming arrow. After taking a deep breath, he shouted.

ใ…ค

โ€œItโ€™s an attack!โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œAssh*le! Canโ€™t even hit that?!โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œTry shooting in the dark then, you son of a b*tch!โ€

ใ…ค

The voices that were heard seemed to have a strong Eastern Empire accent. Khan, frustrated with the youngster, blamed himself for not guarding properly.

ใ…ค

โ€˜๐˜š๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ ๐˜ข ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ. . .!โ€™

ใ…ค

โ€œKill them!โ€

ใ…ค

With a murderous cry, the mercenaries who had crawled up the hill began to charge. They seemed to have covered themselves with cloaks to avoid being seen in the moonlight.

ใ…ค

โ€˜๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜บ ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ?!โ€™

ใ…ค

Khan tried to quickly assess the number of enemies. How many enemies were there? How many allies had awoken?

ใ…ค

โ€œAaah!โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œYou b*stard. . .!โ€

ใ…ค

Seeing Gamson scream and run down the hill, Khan was astounded. He couldnโ€™t believe someone would run away without even swinging a weapon.

ใ…ค

The enemies lit a fire, thinking they were already discovered. This allowed Khan to make out their outlines roughly.

ใ…ค

โ€˜๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ!โ€™

ใ…ค

The sound of metal clashing was heard. The enemy had reached Khan and struck his shield. Two mercenaries attacked Khan, who braced himself. He blocked with the shield on his left and slashed at the right oneโ€™s leg with his short sword.

ใ…ค

โ€œCough!โ€

ใ…ค

Blood splattered, and the posture of the right one collapsed. Khan relentlessly stabbed with his short sword in the darkness.

ใ…ค

โ€œYou b*stard!โ€

ใ…ค

The enemy on the left, wielding a club, struck the shield hard, causing Khan to lose his balance. The shield spun and flipped over when hit on the edge.

ใ…ค

โ€œMr. Khan!โ€

ใ…ค

With a whoosh, an arrow struck the enemyโ€™s shoulder. The enemy screamed and tumbled down.

ใ…ค

Allied mercenaries rushed up the hill to help. The enemy hesitated as they were temporarily outnumbered.

ใ…ค

The battle paused for a moment. The enemies couldnโ€™t come up the hill, and Goranโ€™s mercenaries didnโ€™t dare to attack first, outnumbered and caught by surprise.

ใ…ค

However, Goranโ€™s side was at a disadvantage. The enemy was numerous and began to surround the hill. It was clear that an attack would begin again once they all gathered.

ใ…ค

โ€œWhere are you guys from?!โ€

ใ…ค

Goran shouted. The opponent only glowed with their eyes and did not respond.

ใ…ค

โ€œYou must know this is Count Jarpenโ€™s territory! You are violating the laws of Count Jarpenโ€™s state right now!โ€

ใ…ค

The opponent still did not respond. If they were the type to be shaken by this, they wouldnโ€™t have attacked in the first place. Goran clenched his teeth.

ใ…ค

โ€œIf you continue to fight, we will fight to the end. Are you prepared for that?โ€

ใ…ค

Bandits often retreat when they find the opponent too tough.

ใ…ค

However, the enemies approached even closer. The hands of a mercenary with a bow trembled.

ใ…ค

โ€œWhat shall we do?โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œWe are already surrounded. Get ready to fight shoulder to shoulder! Running away is. . .โ€

ใ…ค

At that moment, a scream erupted. It was not from Goranโ€™s mercenary group but from the attackers.

ใ…ค

๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ

ใ…ค

The first to react to the attack was Johan. Precisely, he woke up just before the attack started. The murderous intent of the enemies had stimulated Johanโ€™s instincts.

ใ…ค

โ€˜๐˜ˆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฌ?!โ€™

ใ…ค

Johan wondered if he had been too complacent. He thought they wouldnโ€™t follow since Karamaf had disappeared. . .

ใ…ค

Johan quickly put on his helmet. There seemed to be no time to don chainmail.

ใ…ค

ใ…ค

Fortunately, it seemed the mercenaries would attract the attention.
