Chapter 94.2: ???????? ???????????????? (??)
I want to control the river. Is there any way to get a boat?
Most cities are located near or next to a river. Even if the city gates are blocked, if the river is left alone, the effect will be halved.
However, the tribal warriors from the east hated the sound of rivers and boats. For them who had lived in the grasnds for their entire lives, a river of a certain width or more was a source of fear.
Id rather go over the city walls!
Id rather try to break through the city gates than go on water!
That, thats right.
Even warriors who dont bat an eye at arrows and stones are often weak to superstition. It wasnt surprising that the tribal warriors were afraid of water and superstition.
However, it seemed that the tribal warriors interpreted Johans understanding in a different way.
Are you disappointed in us?
Like a *sshole who cant even cross water. . .
Our tribes shaman said that if you cross the river, a water ghost will stick to your back.
Thats a rumor, you idiot. Water ghosts just grab your ankles and drown you, they dont stick to you.
Damn, really?
While the tribal warriors were uneasy with each other, Johan came up with a different n.
Since he couldnt find arge boat, he gathered as many small fishing boats as possible from the nearby vige.
Gather a few small fishing boats from the nearby vige, then capture arger merchant ship that travels the river, and use that ship to block the narrow passage of the river!
. . . . . .
Ah, no. Thats too bold, no matter how you look at it. . .
Suetlg and Caenerna also looked worried about whether to stop this or let it go.
First of all, it was a dangerous task to climb onto arge ship from a low fishing boat, and then there was also a problem.
If youre not careful, youll be surrounded on the ship.
Even if its a merchant ship, there will be a fair amount of guards, and the sailors who do tough work are as strong as soldiers.
If you fall into the river with injuries. . .
Shouldnt we stop it?
Hmmm. . .
???
Caenerna looked at Suetlg as if he was crazy. However, Suetlg couldnt stop it.
It looks doable!
The people on the merchant ship would also not be prepared in the same way, and if Johan went wild, there was a high probability that they would be scared and surrender.
The tribal warriors gritted their teeth and volunteered.
Take us with you, Sir Knight! I volunteer!
You said you cant swim?
As long as I dont fall in, thats all!
No. . . you should at least be able to do some breaststroke. You guys will be usedter, so dont worry.
The tribal warriors were crestfallen. Johanforted them and then gave the order again.
Since its not a military ship but a merchant ship, it doesnt matter if the number is small. If we capture the ship, I will divide all the goods inside as a reward.
In response to the crazy reward, the mercenaries eyes shed and they rushed forward. The mercenaries who had followed Johan since the fortress siege did not hesitate toe forward.
A merchant ship sailing leisurely on the river was unexpectedly captured. At first, when people saw several small boats approaching quickly, they thought, ? But Johan threw a spear with a rope and stuck it into the side of the ship, then climbed up instantly by cutting the side with a dagger and an axe.
The people who were carelessly on guard were so surprised that they couldnt even shoot an arrow.
!
Johan threw a rope down and grabbed the sailors who were attacking him, and the people shouted for surrender in fear.
The other ship that wasing from behind is running away!
Its fine. They were just trying to block our way. Its enough to block this path.
Johan said as he got off the ship.
The tribal warriors cheered for Johan as loudly as possible, perhaps because they were stabbed a lot.
The soldiers and warriors who were ustomed to Johans crazy bravery showed a rtively calm reaction.
The Wgo Mercenary Group, who had set up a camp behind them, was so shocked that they couldnt speak.
Did the knight dastard fly up the ship with wings?
Yes, thats right!
What kind of crazy bullshit is that?
No, its not! Dont talk like an *sshole.
I thought so. Theres no way a person could have wings
So the knight prayed on the ship, , , and suddenly God lifted Sir Knight up and
Holy shit, theres a miracle like that? Wheres the priest? Call the priest. Does that make sense?
G-God is so great that such a thing is possible, but
Hey, the priest said its true!
No, I mean its possible, but its not that
Cant I just pray?
As the ridiculous rumor spread, Gurelic let out a sigh ofughter.
What kind of rumor is that
It seems that newly arrived hillbillies are especially affected.
Tell the priest to hold a prayer meeting, and pick one person out of every ten to whip.
It was funny that the mercenaries, who would burn down viges and loot them without a second thought, were superstitious and often turned to God, but what could he do?
To rule the mercenaries, he couldnt just whip them. He had to understand things like that too.
. . .But he really didnt fly up, did he?
They say he just climbed up with his strength.
What the hell
Gurelic muttered.
Knights who had been trained since childhood could show all sorts of superhuman strength. Gurelic had seen it on the battlefield, so he knew it well.
Still, he had never seen anything like it.
What kind of guy is that knight, anyway?
As the soldiers on guard spotted a boating through the river in the darkness, they called Johan.
Johan nodded as if he was pleased. Trying to escape in the darkness, I see. It seems that whoever it is is still not fully awake.
Two ships would be better. Wake up the sailors!
However, Johans expectations were off. The ship wasing with a white g on its bow.
Sir! We are people of the Katana Merchant Guild!
The merchants immediately prostrated themselves as soon as they got off.
If it had been before, they wouldnt have had to do this much. Johan was a wandering knight with no reputation, and they were members of a giant merchant guild.
However, things were different now. Johans reputation had reached their ears in such a short time.
Get up. How much gratitude have I received from the Katana Merchant Guild.
Johan personally helped the merchants to their feet.
The merchants were surprised at his attitude. They never imagined that he would personally help them to their feet.
Despite the position he held now, Johan was humble and kind. The merchants were trembling with emotion as they spoke.
Why have youe here? Have you escaped from the city?
No. We came to deliver a proposal from inside.
A proposal?
A proposal to open the gates.
!
The merchant took out a petition signed by the city council members from his bosom and handed it to Johan. He tried to read it to him.
I can read.
I-Im sorry.
