Bab 881: Petricuno

There was indeed a reason why nobles did not like mercenaries in their territories and vehemently disliked them inside their cities.

It was because these men would almost always be troublemakers.

Not only would they be armed, but with many years of fighting under their belt, they would have a very rough and combative attitude towards any sort of authority, a will forged over many years of combat.

And it would be this defiant mindset that proved especially hard to control for the local city guards, as the veterans of the mercenary group tended to look after these, what they basically considered, peasants in armor. 

So when you got a whole crowd of troublemakers, they soon started to pose a great danger to the city and its citizens.

And currently, the men inside the city of Kalimat were certainly paying homage to that reputation, as spurred on by the acts of a few drunken ramblers, others too started to quickly follow suit, wreaking havoc on the town.
