Watching the last Knight standing at guard staring at me on the other side of the boat scream obscenities at me, I activate my mage sight. Thin barely visible strings of holy mana flowing loosely in the air off of the knights wrists. This seems to be their commander from the look of his shell. 'Dual wielding blades? Bleh. How idiotic.'
After letting him finish his little screaming episode I raise my voice "So are you fi-" he rushes me with one blade raised. I simply backhand it to the side. It lands into the plants of the boat with a loud chuk. I didn't let him react and immediately hit him over the head knocking him out.
It's disappointing really. I was expecting holy paladins like that of Thomas' order. These are way weaker.
Hauling the captain over my shoulder I head back towards the bandit village.
The expressions of sheer surprise and shock on their faces told me enough. They weren't expecting me to do this well.
I approach their Leader whose name I am yet to ask "The knights have been dealt with. They won't be a problem for your village." He only stares at me in a mix of shock, awe and mostly fear. He spends a minute staring before a single fake cough from me snaps him out of it "Ah… T-thank you sorcerer. We are thankful for your help in fending off the knights. As for our deal. We will give you your information but we have to catch up with the others towards the north." You nod at that "Fine. You and your men prepare. I have to give my guest here a <span class="mu-i">talking[/]"
