How to Live as a Wandering Knight

โ€œWhy not?โ€

ใ…ค

Atanka spoke harshly. Honestly, he wanted to sell these b*stards and be done with it.

ใ…ค

โ€œAs the village chief, itโ€™s my job to protect the townโ€™s people. The children of these people caused trouble and brought harm to the town, but they can pay it back by working in the future. Itโ€™s one thing to hand over the two who caused trouble, but offering their families too, what would the feudal lord say!โ€

ใ…ค

If itโ€™s discovered that a few serf families have disappeared, the administrator will ask what happened, and upon hearing the situation, will naturally hold the village chief responsible, not the knight. . .

ใ…ค

He couldnโ€™t be responsible for these worthless people.

ใ…ค

Moreover, the three families were wealthy farmers in this town. Whether liked or disliked, they were the ones who had joined hands with Atanka and supported him. If these people disappeared, Atankaโ€™s power in the town would be greatly weakened.

ใ…ค

โ€œYes. . . Yes! I will definitely repay you! Please forgive me just this once.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œI will surely repay the damages my son has caused. . .โ€

ใ…ค

Realizing the situation, they begged obsequiously. Seeing them like this, the townspeople could no longer say anything. It was not easy for them to continue advocating for the death of those they had lived with.

ใ…ค

Living and growing up in the same town in this world meant a much stronger relationship than what appeared on the surface.

ใ…ค

โ€œSo, are you going to collect money?โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œSilver coins are so valuable. . .โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œCanโ€™t we just make those guys take responsibility?โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œWait and see. I will try to save as much silver as I can.โ€

ใ…ค

Atanka pondered. Silver was the lifeblood of the town. He had to come up with a solution that involved tangible assets and would satisfy the knight.

Johan was calculating, fully armed.

ใ…ค

Did growing up in a knightโ€™s family also influence oneโ€™s character? Despite the dangerous situation, Johan was preparing calmly without breaking a sweat.

ใ…ค

The mercenaries were the ones who were flustered by this.

ใ…ค

โ€œDoesnโ€™t Sir Knight have any fear?โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œIsnโ€™t he Sir Knight for a reason?โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œNo. . . Sir Knight is exceptional. Normally, everyone gets nervous before a fight.โ€

ใ…ค

Knights usually felt nervous before going into battle. Some drank alcohol or gambled to relieve stress. Khan, having fought alongside knights, knew this well.

ใ…ค

โ€œGoran.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œMr. Khan.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œWhat are your plans for the aftermath?โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œMy head is aching right now. I should have listened to Mr. Khanโ€™s words. That son of a b*tch. . .โ€

ใ…ค

Goran was grinding his teeth. He regretted not heeding Khanโ€™s advice, not expecting such a major mishap.

ใ…ค

โ€œItโ€™s not your fault. I didnโ€™t expect that guy to pull such a stunt either.โ€

ใ…ค

The mercenaries were shocked by the news they heard.

ใ…ค

Gamson had conspired with some young men of the town and stolen the knightโ€™s horse and fled!

ใ…ค

The knight had captured two young men from the town and was waiting at the inn. Their employer, Eldans, stated firmly.

ใ…ค

As a result, they ended up facing the townspeople alongside the knight without any special bonus. It was something they should have done anyway. The townโ€™s two men were nearly beaten to death; it wouldnโ€™t have just passed.

ใ…ค

The only regret was not receiving the special bonus.

ใ…ค

Facing the townspeople was not so terrifying. There were many of them, but the townspeople, unless crazed, wouldnโ€™t attack a group that included a knight and merchants affiliated with the guild. The justification was on their side.

ใ…ค

What worried them more was what would happen after this incident was over.

ใ…ค

Gamson was, after all, affiliated with them. It was impossible for the knight to just overlook it.

ใ…ค

ใ…ค

Goran, though experienced in his own right, was facing nobles for the first time. What should he say?

ใ…ค

โ€œPlease. . . please loosen the ropes. I canโ€™t breathe.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œShut up, you thieving scum.โ€

ใ…ค

When Pra complained, one of the mercenaries kicked him roughly with his foot. Struck by the hard leather boots, Pra screamed.

ใ…ค

Already in pain from a broken bone due to a fall from a horse, his condition worsened without proper treatment.

ใ…ค

โ€œDo you think youโ€™ll? The people in the town. . .โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œYeah, what about the people in the town? Eh? Say it again. I canโ€™t hear you.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œAaaah! Aaaaah!โ€

ใ…ค

Pra was experiencing firsthand the kind of people these mercenaries were.

ใ…ค

Mercenaries were generally rough and foul-tempered. Irritated by Gamsonโ€™s antics and escape, they were quick to anger when some insignificant villager spoke up.

ใ…ค

Kicking was just the beginning; they burned wounds with the end of a torch and poured boiling water over them. The mercenaries were very creative and professional in tormenting others.

ใ…ค

Burren trembled and wet himself, watching this scene. He used to strut around the village with a bit of muscle and a well-off family, but now, that meant nothing in front of the mercenaries.

ใ…ค

โ€œHuh. This guy is really getting on my nerves. Hey.โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œ?โ€

ใ…ค

โ€œWhy are you playing innocent? Clench your teeth.โ€

ใ…ค

๐“๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฉ!

ใ…ค

โ€œCough!โ€

ใ…ค

After trampling over Pra, the mercenaries started on Burren. He stayed silent and motionless, but that didnโ€™t matter in such situations. Friends of troublemakers were also held responsible.
