“Karamaf. You’re also considered a monster; can you handle a troll?”

?

??????.

?

Karamaf expressed his opinion simply and briefly. It meant he was unwilling.

?

“Can you at least distract it?”

?

??????.

?

Karamaf nodded confidently. Johan said with a relieved expression,

?

“Go and draw its attention, but don’t engage too much. If it gets dangerous, you can retreat. We never planned to risk our lives anyway.”

?

Karamaf, with a keen sense of smell, was leading the way remarkably well. Although a servant had given directions, they would have wandered more without Karamaf.

‘??????????? ??? ????? ?? ????, ??? ?? ????? ? ??? ?? ??????? ???? ???????’

?

Upon closer examination, the troll’s skin was much tougher than expected. Not only that, the thick skin coupled with the tough muscles and fat underneath formed a dense armor layer.

?

Even a sharply honed longsword, when swung, would only slightly penetrate the muscles before stopping. This meant that the knights’ swordsmanship might not be very effective.

?

Moreover, such wounds would quickly heal. . .

?

Would it be different if cut with the <???? ?????????>?

?

“It’s not a good place to pour oil on the sword and set it on fire. Perhaps. . . we have no choice but to push through with brute force.”

?

???????

?

“If thrown hard enough, a spear might penetrate somewhat. Better than a sword.”

?

??????. . .

?

Even with regenerative abilities, a spear lodged in the body would not be easily removed.

?

Of course, this was a plan that only Johan, confident in his extraordinary strength, could consider.

?

The wolf growled as if frustrated.

?

The elf knights gazed at the troll with mesmerized eyes.

?

The knight slayer, the troll!

?

Even when they heard such a nickname, they vividly remembered scoffing, ‘?? ?? ? ??????? ????? ?? ????????.’

?

“There’s only one. Missing this would be a disgrace to knights. Surround and capture it. Keep shooting bolts to confuse it!”

?

The knights weren’t fools either. Even if not trolls, they had experience in capturing other monsters.

?

After surrounding it with their subordinates, flooding it with bolts from all sides would inevitably panic and fluster any monster.

?

Then, it would be the knights’ turn.

?

They knew about the troll’s remarkable regenerative ability, but beheading would render that useless. As the creature floundered, the knights swiftly prepared to strike at its neck.

?

However. . .

?

“T-The beast, it’s coming this way! It’s coming this way!!”

?

The bolts were too weak to dismay the troll. Unscathed, the troll sneered and charged at the crossbowmen. The encirclement quickly collapsed amidst screams.

?

From then on, it was not a fight but a struggle for survival.

?

Realizing the elf knights were the leaders, the troll ignored the others and doggedly pursued only three. It was determined not to give them a chance to escape on their tied-up horses.

?

The elf knights had to jump and roll with curses, as the troll, seemingly 1.5 times the size of a large soldier, swung its massive club, making defense impossible.

?

Fortunately, one of the three elf knights continually distracted the troll, maintaining a precarious balance.

?

All three were acutely aware of it.

?

If even one of them fell, the others would be killed by the troll!

?

It was a shameful situation for knights, but all they could hope for was reinforcement.

?

And then, Johan arrived.

?

Riding a warhorse and gallantly leaping through the bushes, Johan’s arrival on the battlefield was the epitome of an honorable knight.

?

‘. . .??? ????????? ????? ????? ???? ? ???????.’

?

Of course, he was contemplating whether to flee alone or with the knights.
