Cultist Blinded by Paganism – 5
The earth embraces everything and makes our home. Our lord is the earth, you are the father of all things. How can words express its grace and majesty?
How can a stinging sun looking down from a high place be said to be the parent who watches over all things? Only our lord, Lahandar, is the true god.
There is no need for the dawn of the sun to rise on this continent. When the twilight of the setting sun illuminates the continent, the true Lord will reign once again.
“It’s too bad we won’t be there.”
A place where all the combatants of the Order were summoned. As a person with the title of religious leader, I said something I couldn’t bear to say. But what can I do, cruel but real.
In spite of our sincere and sincere faith, the days of our giving grew longer with each passing day. Although each of our beliefs is not inferior to the beliefs of a hundred people, it is only dust compared to the continent as a whole.
And the devil’s nephew of the sun had no hesitation in clearing our names. No matter how much we spread our true faith to the continent, the Church of Dawn covered the teachings. They are truly deserving of punishment.
“We too have inherited the sacrifices of our ancestors. Now it’s our turn.”
In the silence, the elder smiled and said. Yes, this is also the teaching of the ancestors. The predecessors also gave up on seeing the Lord reign in their own time and yielded the glory to the later generations. Now it is our turn to step down for posterity.
The Church of Dawn is becoming stronger day by day, and we are increasingly inferior. Now that’s the limit Three years ago, he succeeded in a great cause and had hope for a while, but it was too much to turn the tide.
“Let’s engrave our name on the continent.”
If you stay still, you will drown quietly. Then it will be a splendid fireworks. I will become a flame so splendid that the wicked pagans cannot cover our martyrdom.
That’s why I mobilized all my spare energy and aimed for the next saint of the Church of Dawn. Chance of success? I can’t say it’s high. But if we just wait until the odds are high, we’ll fall first. It is time to risk everything and challenge even if the odds are small.
Even if it fails, an incident aimed at the life of the next saint in the heart of the continent’s strongest country. This is an event that can never be ignored. Our name will ring across the continent. There will be those who sympathize with our ideals.
Then it’s a success. Even if we die, our will will be passed on to future generations.
…But what kind of situation is this?
“Great silver coin! Great silver coin!”
“Give me your neck! Give me your neck right now before they’re searched for!”
‘Am I crazy?’
I know that the heretics call us zealots. If so, shouldn’t they at least mobilize crazy people? It’s no different from the enemy, are the circumstances of the Dawn Church too bad?
I even had the absurd thought that if I had endured for a moment, I would not have seen the Church of Dawn collapse. The madness before my eyes was so thrilling.
“The brown robe is the leader!”
“Huh.”
A mischievous laugh leaked out. The grace given by the Lord was not properly exercised at some point. Of course, it was something I was determined to do from the moment the next saint existed. I didn’t have any regrets because I was thinking of bumping into them head-on, not by surprise.
However, the barrier as if trapped in a box, the mana freezing that even magic scrolls did not work, and the body became heavy as if an invisible hand was weighing down on it. I couldn’t come to my senses at the 3 consecutive hits that seemed like crazy.
‘As expected, it’s dirty.’
A way to trap the opponent in all sorts of nasty and disgusting ways.
You cut down a soldier who was running like crazy. It’s annoying, but these hardships can’t stop us in our tracks. The experience we have accumulated while wandering around the continent has made us stronger. Because we were the ones who couldn’t survive if we were weak.
At least the henchmen are enough to make you companions in the underworld. If you attack, kill as much as you attack.
‘What.’
And then something happened.
From far away, a soft green light covered the floor, passed by where I was, and spread to my back.
“Aagh!”
I heard the screams of my compatriots. When I hurriedly turned my gaze, I saw my fellow countryman stabbed by Enen’s henchman.
‘Wake up again?’
I couldn’t kill him in one blow because he was wearing thick armor, but at least he was injured enough to immobilize him. But did it happen again?
Looking around, it wasn’t just one guy. The cultists who were injured and fell began to rise one by one.
“Over there, the great silver coin is moving!”
“No.”
His head seemed to stiffen at the loud cry of the guy who had been babbling about until now. These bastards of the Church of Dawn could have dabbled in forbidden arts.
But these ugly things didn’t even give me time to question that.
“Sir!”
As soon as I came to my senses at the elder’s cry, a silver orb quickly flew in the direction the green light had come. What else is that
I don’t know what it is, but I don’t think it will end well if it hits. Instinct is calling it that way.
‘Damn it.’
Heterogeneous phenomena that have not been recorded are pouring in.
“Are you a religious leader?”
A man with exceptionally burning eyes rushed in.
“Accept the grudge of my insignia!”
Damn it, what the f*ck is that bastard?
***
Temporary headquarters where the forces escorting Tanian from the academy and the Muk Gwangdae are stationed.
‘It makes the game dirty.’
With only the minimum number of people remaining, I couldn’t save my praise for Tanian. You play like a game dog, really. It’s crazy that you’re an ally, not an enemy.
“Where are you going, Lamb, saith the Lord? ..”
I glanced aside and saw Tani An kneeling down and spitting out a prayer with a rapid-fire cannon. It’s a bit scary.
Still, in order to activate the Seongbeop, you have to recite a prayer suitable for the situation, so what should I do? Actually, there is no need to speak so fast, but Tianian is pouring out his spell without a cooldown.
‘Unfortunately.’
I feel sorry for the Twilight Church, who wanted to tear it apart. Listening to the report coming from the front, the Twilight Church was not weak either. Because he said that there were not a few people who fell among the Holy Knights and the Imperial Army.
But now, Tanian is laying the floor for wide-area recovery. As long as it’s not an instant death, you can quickly recover and hit the Twilight Church again. He even makes and throws strange whitish orbs from time to time.
“Saints must not intervene in conflicts between humans.”
I remembered what Tanian said right before the operation started. Surely it would be terrible if the saint intervened in the war. A map hack that allows you to clearly see where the enemy is and a supporter who lays a floor that can continue fighting unless it is an instant death. Just imagining it is scary.
However, the supporter fires a far-end damage that cannot be ignored from an invisible distance.
‘A saint is an alternative.’
I thought only map hacks were possible. Who knew that he would suddenly perform such a surprise technique?
“Isn’t the Twilight Church also a conflict between humans?”
“Haha, it’s okay.”
A saint who must not intervene in conflicts between humans. In fact, the saint didn’t go to the front after subjugating the undead in the distant past.
Unlike that precedent, seeing Tanian beating down the Church of Twilight with full power with his clenched teeth, I questioned him.
“The Twilight Cult is not human, so you can intervene.”
“…Yes.”
That’s right.
Yes, cultists are not human. Then it won’t be a problem even if the saint kills him himself.
Starting today, I decided to think that way.
“Awesome.”
“Ah, sir.”
As Tanian actively participated in the battle, Prince Majong, who suddenly had nothing to do, approached with a small exclamation. Originally, he would have burned all the mana and put the bombing magic on by now.
Still, the reason the Church of Twilight, which started being beaten unilaterally, couldn’t escape thanks to Jong-Gong Ma. It did its job well enough with that.
“There are few records of the saint. The last time he participated in a war was 800 years ago.”
“Are you talking about the battle against the Death Kings?”
Perhaps it was because he was bored because he lost something to do, Jong-Gong Ma continued.
The King of Death, or the King of the Undead. It was a representative trouble of the continent in the past, but it was beaten like a dog by the saints of the time and became a Buddha. Since then, there has been no record of the saint fighting directly, but I never thought he would fight this well.
“If the saint can even intervene in the war against humans, he might have to redraw his borders.”
Hearing that, he inadvertently nodded. You can’t defeat a group with just one superman, but it’s a different story if that one superman makes the entire team stronger.
After a while, a brown and black light erupted from the battle area, followed by silence.
“It’s over.”
At the same time as Tanian stood up from his seat with a satisfied expression, the light came on from the communication tool he was holding in his hand. Also, the map hack is scary. It’s all falling asleep, so I’m going to take care of myself and get up.
“I am the head of the inspection department.”
– This is Senior Commander Frances Neville. Out of 32, 24 were killed and 8 captured. The priest was also captured alive.
Perfectly done.
8 People, including the leader, were captured alive on 24 necks. Although there was an expenditure of 43 large silver coins, the 10 gold coins given by the crown prince are still left, so it is reassuring.
“You worked hard.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
And the hero of the glory of catching the leader was the former corps commander. Perhaps because he caught the enemy of his life himself, his expression is unmatched. Congratulations, you’ve accomplished your bucket list.
First of all, he handed over a large silver coin because it was a promise, but he is a nobleman who kept the commander of the field army in front of his eyes no matter how dishonorably he was discharged. I’m not the kind of person who would be happy with five large silver coins. Maybe it feels more like a commemorative medal than money.
“Brother.”
As the former corps commander returned to the Holy Knights without any regrets, Tanian sneaked up to me. This guy also has a gentle expression as if he has removed the baggage of his life.
“Thank you for listening to my unreasonable request.”
I was a little embarrassed to see him bow down to his waist.
“Don’t do that. If the Holy Knights see it, it will cause a commotion.”
“As a human being, it’s not a problem to show gratitude.”
Anyway, after years of choosing words that are difficult to refute.
“If anything happens to you today, I will defend you as best I can.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Thank you for the words, I replied with an appropriate nod. Well, I’ll hear moderate bitterness, but I’ll get over it without a big deal. It’s because I’ve already kissed the two ministers.
Still, being able to use the next Saint’s shield in case of emergency was enough to gain peace of mind.
