Episode. IL.36 Plague Giant (2)
Kwaaang-!!!
A wide and gigantic beam of light pierced down, and a deafening roar erupted.
Dozens or hundreds of lightning bolts fell all at once on the Plague Giants.
In the aftermath, the monsters around the plague giant evaporated at once.
“Kie, Kieeck!”
Seeing that formidable figure, the demons who were happy before the dinner called Rio Castle were startled and hardened.
The soldiers who had been shouting a desperate fight in the castle also opened their mouths wide and could not speak any more.
Its appearance resembled a pillar of light.
It’s also very destructive.
Kwaaang, Kwaaang-!!
The light flickered incessantly before Zeke’s eyes.
The only thing he could see was the shadows of the giants who had hardened as they struggled.
“What the hell… … !”
Zeke was overwhelmed.
Any wizard in the Southern Continent… … No, it was a miracle that could never be accomplished even if the wizards gathered in droves.
‘Yes, this… … It’s not like magic.’
Truly a natural disaster.
It was the wrath of God.
Zeke gritted his teeth.
I thought it was just bad weather.
After seeing its power, he was able to know the identity of that lightning streak.
The power of faith was so blatantly felt that I wondered why I had not known it before.
Soon, the pure white beam of light that shook the earth stopped.
gulp.
I heard someone swallowing saliva.
Silence fell on the battlefield, which had been filled with roaring noises just moments before.
“… … .”
At the place where the punishment fell, black ash was blowing in the wind.
The red-red giants stood silently, charred.
There were no more roars or violent struggles.
pass-
It just stood still and collapsed.
In this way, dozens of ashes were piled up in front of Rio Castle.
“Hor… … Hor has punished the plague!”
Suddenly someone called out.
Zeke turned his head and saw Moritz with a flushed expression in his eyes.
Moritz shouted again with both hands raised.
“This is our Hor, this is our hope!”
The troops, who had only had a dazed look at the overwhelming sight, clenched their fists tightly.
This is their horn, their wish.
Gradually, the heat built up on those sides.
“okay. that’s right! The one who catches and slays those disgusting monsters is our god!”
“Ahh! Horsi-!”
The wrath of the god that fell from the sky was directed only at the monsters.
Not even a single ray of lightning could reach them in high places.
It was nothing short of a miracle for everyone.
The castle’s momentum boiled like wildfire.
The Lord of Ord commanded the soldiers accordingly.
“Deal with the monsters on the wall!”
Yes, there are still many enemies left.
It was still too early to let out a victory roar.
Realizing this fact, the soldiers grabbed their blades.
The knights widened their eyes like a brave general.
In their hands, the monsters began to fall one by one.
At that time, monsters attacked the castle behind the ashes that were giants.
Even if it looked like a frightened rat, it was equally menacing.
“Shoot-!”
The rain of arrows, which had stopped for a moment, flew through the air again.
Shining cannonballs and all kinds of magic were fired continuously.
“What are you doing. Aren’t you going?”
Someone spoke to Zeke, who was staring at the battlefield with blank eyes.
“… … Richard.”
He turned and looked at his brother.
Just when they had gathered, the elite knights of the castle lined up behind Richard.
Is it because of the majesty of God?
Their faces were full of excitement.
“older brother! Come here!”
As if Moritz was about to descend the castle wall at any moment, he approached Zeke in front of the stairs.
No one was afraid of battle.
There was no one who was not brave.
For now, at least, these men were braver than anyone in Battenberg.
Zeke, who looked at them for a moment, opened his mouth.
“… … This is the first battlefield. Do you like it.”
The heat in that voice was very hot.
Soon, the assault force, including Zeke, descended the wall.
The castle gate opened with a heavy sound.
They shot out through the open door.
“Turn around!”
Richard stood in the lead and shouted.
The Knights of the Alliance with the Temple Knights followed while chanting.
The plagues that filled the battlefield red are getting closer.
However, their momentum was broken right away.
As long as the god’s wrath had fallen upon this battlefield, the filth could not flourish.
Their desperate screams were no different from those of a frightened dog.
“Ho-rreugh!!”
The stormtroopers were so incensed that they cried out to God.
In the meantime, Zekeman was alone with his mouth shut.
If I opened my mouth here, I didn’t know if we would shout God together.
◈ ◈ ◈
Naturally, the battle ended with our victory.
I looked at the monsters being devoured by the garden, then looked away.
“Ho-le!”
“Hooreugh!”
The soldiers shouted a hor at the sky.
Some sang hymns, some shouted cheers.
It was a sight that made me laugh even in the midst of fatigue.
Heavenly punishment, it was worthwhile to use it quite forcefully.
I looked down at my hands.
I tried to take out my faith, but no light came up.
It was the price to pay for interfering with the factor of climate.
It seemed that I would not be able to use my faith for a while.
But I don’t regret it.
With this great victory, the invasion of the Plagues will fall behind that much.
“hmm.”
I was trying to look inside to see if there was another side effect, but I felt Zeke staring at me.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“No, nothing.”
From noble mtl dot com
Shaking his head lightly, he turned his back on me.
After the battle ended, days passed quickly.
Today is the day Rapture finally leaves for Titan.
In order to see off their departing colleagues, the castle’s people gathered at the north gate.
At the center of the gathered crowd was ‘I’.
“Chwiiik!”
‘I’, who was on top of Nar, made a snort.
… … sh*t.
“It’s all good, but did you really have to disguise yourself as me?”
“In the form of an Orc, it’s not suitable for wandering around the continent. To get rid of unnecessary noise, the image of the saint is the best.”
I muttered while rubbing my forehead, and Tassar answered from the side.
That wasn’t necessarily wrong, there was nothing more to say.
“Chwiik! Sometimes it wouldn’t hurt to live the life of an ugly man!”
Thanks to the magic of the elves, Rapture, disguised as me, was talking nonsense.
I could feel the blood vessels protruding from my fingertips.
To be called ugly by an orc and not by anyone else!
“… … Go fast.”
Again, today is the day Rapture leaves for Titan.
When I suppressed my anger and waved my hand, he chuckled.
“It was fun. I hope everyone gets along well until I return as king.”
“You are the one to go safely!”
“I will remember!”
At Rapture’s greeting, the knights spoke to each other.
Their attitude toward orcs was very favorable.
orcs and humans.
At least Rapture and them were followers and colleagues of the same Hor.
“Chwik, but… … Can I really go with this friend? You don’t seem to like me very much.”
After a long exchange of greetings, Rapture asked me out of the blue.
With one hand, he was pointing at the Nar he was on.
Kreureung-
Nar, who had been looking at me as if protesting, also let out a cry.
It seemed that he did not like the fact that he was accompanied by the rapture.
“We should go together.”
I said emphatically.
In order to shorten the time to go to a distant country called Titan, Nar’s axis was needed.
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason I was letting go of my precious Shinsoo.
“Nar. Come back stronger.”
Titan actually has a pretty interesting culture.
If it was there, Nar would surely be able to expect great growth.
Kreung-
Gnar wept in displeasure and turned his head away. It was a nuance that seemed reluctant to know.
“hehehe. A very cute baby cat. If we hang out together, I think we will quickly become friends.”
Suddenly, a large hand reached out in front of me.
“… … .”
I took that hand.
“Chwiik. Next time I see you, I want to fight with you again.”
Rapture said with a smirk.
“I’ll do it a hundred times over. Become a king.”
“I promise!”
Rapture smiled brightly and soon left with Nar.
The rapture disappeared in an instant.
“… … It’ll be empty for a while. Still, with Rapture, there was nothing boring.”
Everyone, including Polk and Jack, nodded at Aaron’s words, standing silently next to me.
◈ ◈ ◈
The meeting was in full swing at Baren Castle.
The Marquis of Trantis, who left on a missionary mission, was also there.
“The light of Horgyo has moved everywhere.”
At his words, the eyes of the royal aristocrats shone.
“The people who were trembling in fear realized their wish and accepted that it was Horror.”
The Marquis recited the results of the past missionary work.
Starting with the despair of the people he saw with his own two eyes, everything from the despair slowly disappearing.
The Marquis, who had been talking for a while, swallowed.
The nobles of the royal family and the king stared at it calmly.
But there was a glimmer of light on his face.
“… … The light has been transferred, but not yet firmly established. It’s just starting to bloom. Therefore, we decided to solidify the faith of Baren by transferring the responsibility to the missionary corps, including Earl Harten in the east.”
“Earl Harten… … .”
The royal nobles nodded their heads in recognition of Count Harten’s qualifications and authority.
“If so, there will be no shortage of understanding the hearts of the people.”
The king also nodded with a satisfied face.
A few words were exchanged after that.
It wasn’t long after Horgyo became the state religion of Baren Kingdom, but they had already become ardent followers of Horgyo.
The news from the Marquis of Trantis made the meeting hall feel much lighter.
After that, a full-scale meeting took place.
“The situation at Rio Castle is said to be getting more and more vicious.”
It was the king who brought up the topic.
As soon as the story of Rio Castle came out, the faces of the nobles hardened.
The worst dark cloud that eats away the kingdom of Baren.
The Magi spouting out of Pauline Castle was growing bigger day by day.
“We need to come up with a countermeasure before the Rio Castle collapses.”
“The troops there are able to find the source of the plague… … .”
The nobles scrambled to raise their opinions.
The aspect was no different from the meeting in Rio Castle.
Some said it was right to remove the source as soon as possible, while others were concerned about the existence of the Southern Continent crouching behind the source.
The King, who had been watching them quietly, looked at Marquis Trantis.
The Marquis of Trantis also did not avoid the king’s gaze. Although their bodies may have deteriorated with age, their minds were clearer than ever.
“… … .”
Before the missionary team left the capital, the Marquis and the King had a discussion once.
Now was the time to put the plan I had established at that time into action.
He silently waited for the meeting of nobles to see if there might be a better solution, but the situation in Baren was not enough to delay further.
“We have allies.”
The king opened his mouth.
pop-
The eyes of the nobles, who had been having a heated discussion for a long time, turned to the king.
“I will pass on the light of Hor to the Prot Kingdom, an ally who has broken the pact. This will make you deeply reflect on the consequences of your vices and at the same time remind you of hundreds of years of pact.”
