How to live as a wanderer

‘They are not Akiten wolves! ’

John realized as soon as he saw it. It was too different from those on the territory. First of all, no one uses Longsword.

Longsword is basically a two-handed weapon. The shield is difficult to use, making it more vulnerable and difficult to handle. I had no reason to use Longsword unless I had learned it professionally in a criminal or swordsmanship guild. The spear was better if you wanted a longer weapon, and the one-handed shortsword and shield combination were easier to use. Most mercenaries prefer to carry a weapon with one shield, unless it is a spear.

The wolves of Aquitaine have several mercenaries in Longsword. It meant that it was that high. However, the mercenaries at hand were not Akiten wolves at all.

Of course, I couldn't stop.

John lunges at the nearest one. He doesn't notice until John is in front of him, whether it's dark and his gaze is drawn to the hills.

“Huh, huh?! ”

He pushes his shield and tries to stop the attack. The large round shield blocks the opposing Pokémon's attack direction just by holding it.

... if it wasn't for John.

John responded simply and effectively.

Boom!

As John pushes his shield with his foot, the shield cracks open and flies back. A thick shield of sturdy wood, but powerless in front of the beast.

“Huh?"

John was slightly embarrassed. I didn't think that shield would fly like that. However, the body moved naturally. A stab wound to the neck of a broken opponent. Blood spurted out with a thump.

“What the fuck?! ”

The fallen opponent holds a heavy machete, a kind of machete. It rusted and didn't stand up properly, but it was good enough to throw. John quickly throws it to the man running ahead. The target is frightened and lifts its shield.

One step.

John steps on the pedestal to narrow his distance to the target. It was not Kaegal's vision, but an ordinary forward-looking approach. It was a simple method, but combined with John's strength, it produced a terrifying power.

The opposing Pokémon wiggles the mace in fear. John pulls his sword out of orbit and throws it out of the opponent's hand. And strike towards the opening. The opposing Pokémon's body is torn apart in a single blow.

‘? ’

John felt something strange. Longsword was... overheard.

Longsword isn't sharp enough, but it easily breaks when it's too sharp. You could cut a man, but not cut him open like a butter cutter.

I thought it was a good sword because Karamaf was using it.

When the dark light hits the blade, you can see the blue blade draining the blood. Then the writing appeared. It was written in the ancient imperial language.

"Tension Retriever"?

It was a perfect sword for Karamaf, who brings the seal ring, the symbol of the noble family. John kicked his tongue. I knew it was a proper sword, but it made it even more obscure.

John raises his opponent's shield and mace. When two people were ambushed and killed, enemies were rushing to kill John.

Puck!

Arrows flying from afar. John blinks steadily and shields his body. I couldn't see it because it was dark, but I could feel it.

“You didn't tell me this guy existed! ”

“? ”

John was convinced of that.

They didn't come after me!

‘Damn. I shouldn't have fought so hard. ’

I was stabbed again. Well, there's no way we're going after John in that situation.

However, we could not reconcile in this situation. And John wasn't nice enough to get past the guy who was trying to kill him.

“Bring it on!”

After a brief shout, John lunges. John's equipment was revealed when the light shone upon him. The mercenaries flinch at the size and equipment.

The first to die was the one with the spear. The one with the long-range weapon was annoying. John lunges recklessly, then takes his spear as his shield and swings the mace.

Boom!

‘Oh... I think blunt force is more comfortable. ’

If Kaegal could see, he would be like, "Did I teach you the sword or the bludgeoning, you ogre?" But John and Mace were getting along too well. The distance was short and small, making it easy to handle. Given John's physical ability, he didn't need to use the sword to practice tricks.

“You monster! ”

Shortsword slams through the waist, but John sticks together first to defend against the attack. The user breaks the opposing Pokémon's arm and heads hit the target in front of it.

One more time.

The target is knocked down with a blunt sound. The enemy panics as a madman rushes in and breaks the march. There were only four people who died, but their strength was frightening. None of the mercenaries prepared to die and carry out their missions.

“Hit it!”

Goran shouts quickly. When the opponent growls like that, it has to strike. The Gorn mercenaries rush in screaming.

John became even more comfortable because he became like that in a difficult situation even when he was surrounded. John takes a short breath and charges. An arrow is shielded. It was only a weak bow.

Boom, boom, boom.

John lunges next to him, swinging his mace forward, and the three men fall splattered with blood. It didn't hit my head, but it hit my torso. John smiled satisfactorily. Useful for weapons I found on the road.

As you fall more than half, the rest of the mercenaries begin to flee without a word. Without an order, John wondered.

Did you kill the commander? ’

Turns out one of the guys with the shortsword was a little bossy.

John hurries out and smashes the bridge behind him. I didn't have to catch them all. Enough to hear what happened.

‘Maybe two or three. ’

Better than one. John breaks the fallen man's leg. I broke it a little more because he kept shooting arrows.

“Shhh!”

As John chases behind, the mercenaries flee with weapons blazing. When I thought he was coming after me, I felt a chill on my back.

Bang!

I could barely catch one more. When the opponent pulls out his dagger and tries to stab it, John grins both cheeks.

“Son of a bitch...”

He said he was a pretty good reader. John breaks his arm so that he can't do anything stupid. The opposing Pokémon breaks its other arm, though the opposing Pokémon still seems to have a bit of a liveliness. Then he cried out.

“Oh, dear. Sir, I was wrong! ”

“Do you know what I did wrong? ”

“Yes! Yes! I understand completely!”

Like the other mercenaries, I was terrified of breaking my arms without spitting out swear words or being rough.

I can't believe you didn't tell me you had a monster like this. ’

“Son of a bitch! How dare you!”

Gamson gets angry and tries to punch the guy who collapsed. Then the Goran dried up.

“Why are you stopping me! ”

“You didn't catch him. Kid.”

“You could have killed the man who attacked you! ”

“I won't stop you. Why don't you try it? ”

Then John came back. John looked at Gamson and asked.

“What are you doing?”

“Uh... nothing. ”

He frowns and retreats. The words I was about to face John, who was covered with blood, came quickly. Even one hand holds the head of a mercenary twitching his limbs.

“Everyone's been through a lot. ”

“No! John saved my life. Thank you so much!”

Goran greets you closely. It was a genuine greeting. As a wandering knight, I had some doubts about my skills, but they disappeared neatly from the sight I just saw. Indeed, the article was a knight. I ran in without my armor on, and in the blink of an eye, I still saw him slaughter five or six people.

“What are you going to do with this guy? ”

“Why don't you take him to the city and sell him as a slave? I'm on my way anyway...”

“That won't be bad either, but I have more questions. We need to find out who this guy belongs to. ”

“Yes? Just a bandit. ”

“You can accept bandits and quests. ”

John summons Eldans. Eldans, who was hiding among the wagons, reaches out his head.

“Are we done here? ”

“You can come out now that you're done. ”

Eldans sighs. I didn't know what all the fuss was about.

“I heard the bandits were really...”

“...? ”

John glances at Eldans' face. I didn't feel like I was lying.

I was pretty sure I wasn't after John. No one would hire a mercenary like this to go after a bunch of mercenaries who don't look like they have anything...

The only merchant left.

“Huh. Did you catch them? ”

“The knight has caught it. ”

“We can take him and sell him as a slave. You piece of shit. Where are you stealing from? The curse of God be upon you. ”

“Let's hear their story first. ”

John puts the mace on his shoulder and asks.

“Who told you to do that? ”

“Well, we don't know anything! ”

Puck!

John wields his mace in fear of finishing his sentence. The broken knee is still crushed.

“Shhhhh!”

“Do you think I caught you just to hear that you don't know anything? Squeeze out the answers I want. ”

The mercenaries swallowed a saliva in the shape of John. He looked like he was about 20 years old or older, but there was no gap in his appearance. I was curious about what family I was trained in.

“If you don't want to live with a disability for the rest of your life, just answer it. Okay, one! Two!”

“The commander picked it up! He just told me all I had to do was rob that merchant! So! So! ”

The captured cries out in fear. Then everyone's gaze turned to Eldans.

“My Lord Eldans. What? You never said that. ”

“I don't know! ”

“Don't tell me you're saving money...”

“More mercenaries if one were after me. Would I gamble my life away?" ”

Eldans protested as if he was frustrated. Goran frowns, but reassures.

“I understand.”

The Eldans' payment was not bad. Every day, three Empire Tales are fought over, one Empire Silver Coin. The 12 fairy tales were about a silver coin, so the hawker Howigo was worth it. Eldans was not a fool to pay for what he risked his life for.

If I knew for sure that someone was after Eldans, I would have hired more mercenaries. An experienced vendor wouldn't risk his life to save a few coins.
