Bad Saint (3)
The guardians mobilization standby order is similar to Jindogae in Korea.
When something happens, active power is concentrated around the area. It is an immediate response, and all kingdom citizens are obliged to respond.
Bringing together guardians who have nothing to do with the central military authority would be close to a Jindo dog.
“They say we have to wait too. The problem seems to be more serious than we thought.”
However, that also applies to the official guardians of the association. Technically speaking, we are still students. Originally, it was the side that was excluded from this mobilization order.
“Corin. Our Guardians’ promotion was completed just now. From now on, we are the first-class Guardians.”
“There are also legal issues, so the work was done incredibly quickly.”
The Guardians I founded… The Corinne Guardians have a ridiculous level of registered power.
Right now, from me, an exceptional first-class knight, to Arisha, the sword master of Aden.
The eldest daughter of Dunaref, a great southern aristocrat, and Marie, a semi-class vampire sorceress.
An apprentice nun of the Protestant Church, Hwaran of Bicheon Yacha, who is under the strict supervision of the Merkava and the Protestant Church.
Two powers with ‘Special’. Even me and Arisha are practically semi-special class. Considering our performance report, the association would have no choice but to mobilize.
Because of that, he hurriedly promoted Corinne Guardians to 1st class without a detailed review process.
It is because there is a law that goes into the first rank in the mobilization standby order from the first-class guardians.
“Dae, what the hell is going on? Wyverns have been flying around since before, and the situation seems to be more serious than I thought.”
Arisha looked up at the sky anxiously. And among them is our wyvern.
– Flutter! flutter!
A group flapping their wings and landing at the Wyvern Landing Pad in the office premises.
Cranel Luden and Yuel… and Lunia and Ogum, who went on a mission to protect them.
As they went to greet them, Runia threw two large heads from the wyvern’s cargo net. These are the heads of ogres.
“Whoa~ It must have been a quick fight.”
“It was an educational material, but it was urgently communicated, so I processed it in a hurry.”
The neatly cut cross section of the ogre was impressive. If Cranel and UL had handled it, there would be no such neat cross section.
“Ko, Corinne… came back… I came…”
“What the hell is going on?”
Cranel and Yuel walked past the ogre’s head as if embarrassed.
As usual, the ogre subjugation was entrusted to the two of them as training for passing the exam, but things turned out this way.
“We don’t know the news yet. But it will come soon.”
Anyway, with this, it would be safe to say that most of the current Guardians members were convened.
And I was able to hear the reason from Mrs. Josephine and Master Erin, who came by teleportation.
* * * *
“I heard that Estelle was taken away by magic tower wizards.”
“A saintess?! Isn’t it a big deal!”
Arisha was the first to react. Next, Hwaran was blurry, but responsive.
“Isn’t it a big deal?”
“How does the royal family come out?”
“A mobilization order may be given to the east.”
“·······.”
It seems that Ogum sisters and Runia have deepened their thoughts.
The East is the sharpest forged blade a kingdom can mobilize.
Arisha Arden and Lunia Arden. Even if only these two are recruited, the ‘army of knights’ can be mobilized, so the kingdom will not miss the opportunity that the two are in Merkava.
“Corin. Did you expect this?”
“To some extent. I never thought I’d do it this soon.”
The mage tower is too much. They were the ones who acted as if there was no back in the original work.
Well, when paradise arrives, the existing infrastructure and the world tend to be good, so it’s going to end, but…
“But you don’t seem surprised at all.”
“It’s kind of an induced movement.”
Information that would not have been known to us who had yet to wait. But everyone can guess who the culprit is.
“As you may have guessed, the culprit is the magic tower.”
Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.
Just because it’s faster than expected doesn’t change anything.
I’ve prepared enough, and the time to explode the bomb is just around the corner.
“From now on, we’ll brief you in advance. We’re going to occupy the Iron Islands, the land of wizards where the Mage Tower is built.”
* * * *
The saintess’ prayer reaches the sky.
The prayer that reached God fulfills what the saintess desires.
The saintess’ prayers will surely come true.
However, now the voice of the saintess could not reach the sky.
“Ummm…”
A piercing wind blows in. Estelle opened her messy eyes and checked her surroundings.
Haystack.
An architectural style built with gray bricks.
Recognizing that it was a prison, I realized where this place was with an untimely biting cold.
“Steel Islands. Home of the Mage Tower.”
Rather than a kingdom, it is a stateless zone that is famous for its extreme cold because it is adjacent to North Kingdom in the north. It is a paradise for wizards.
“You’re quick-witted.”
The owner of the voice was an old wizard with dirty blonde hair hanging down.
A minor who still retains the beauty and guns of his youth. His golden eyes are still shining.
Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.
Golden Archmage Adrin. The one who subdued himself, who was protected by God, and kidnapped him to this place.
I don’t know what principle it was that neutralized my ‘sacred power’, but I couldn’t understand the behavior of the mage master.
“Why did you do this?”
“Are you asking for a motive?”
“Because the risk is too great to save just a few wizards.”
“You’re mistaken.”
Adrin’s expression was calm. Even after doing such a thing, he doesn’t seem to have any worries about the future at all.
“You should have asked what you plan to do next, not why you did this.”
“······okay?”
Estelle immediately realized that Aidrin’s purpose was not to rescue the wizard, but to kidnap her. then······.
“Lord, give me the strength to break the iron chariots of the enemy.”
intensification of the moment. A bare-handed Estelle threw a fist at Aidrin.
These fists, fortified by prayer, crush all things. You can crush the old body of an old man like bursting a watermelon.
-puck!
However, there was someone who blocked Estelle’s fist.
“Hee hee, my Ching-gu. He’s healthy up and down~”
He was a slim man. A sleazy man who covered his entire body with a duster coat, but you could tell he was tall at a glance.
It was an ominous existence with madness and chaos inherent in it from head to toe.
“My fist… no, this is…”
Divine power is not displayed.
“Hee hee…!”
she is not a knight If the power of prayer is not demonstrated, it is just an ordinary girl. The fist of an ordinary girl cannot harm the king of beasts.
“Hello?”
“Doon Skys?
I’ve seen it in previous wanted flyers.
A bounty who commits terrorism by leading beast-type demons to stab all over the continent. Beast King Dunskys… why is he here?
“Our magician Ching-gu! Isn’t he too lively? The gift from our new Ching-gu must have run out of medicine already!”
“A new… friend?”
“I’ll have to hurry up the experiment. The Kingdom Army and Guardians will come soon.”
“Hee hee! Then…!”
Doon Skys. He began pulling something out of my slim stomach like a magician’s trick.
It’s a hideous magic. Estelle thought so, but as soon as she witnessed him take it out, her eyes widened momentarily.
“A castle… a ship?”
One of the four holy relics that only survive on record. Holy Grail. How could it come from the body of a terrorist?
“The Holy Grail? Ah~ I see. It’s known that way, right?”
Rather than a Holy Grail, it is more like a large cauldron. Doon Skys giggled and put down the ‘Magic Cauldron Undry’ in front of Estelle.
“Are you going to be in a bit of pain? Our saintess.”
The dagger that Doon Sky pulled out cut Estelle’s wrist.
“Ugh…!”
Estelle, not used to suffering, frowned. The dripping blood gives goosebumps.
From noble mtl dot com
The body under divine protection is only cut by a dagger or something like that. Estelle pressed her lips together in disbelief.
“What are you planning to do?”
“Holy blood is useful in many ways. For example… resurrecting giants who should have died in the distant past.”
“what···!”
“Why did you do this?”
The golden archmage looked down at the surprised Estelle and said in a confident voice.
“It’s not about getting something. It’s about not losing it.”
Stick to the winning side. The mage tower master’s motive was extremely simple and calculated.
* * * *
A guardian made up of knights and wizards. The association representing the interests of the Guardians and arranging missions is, strictly speaking, like a trade union of mercenaries.
But where is the guardian a normal job? It is a place that manages a group of superhumans who can split villages with swords and burn cities with magic.
As such, their financial power and political influence are by far the highest on the continent. The Guardian Association we arrived at also showed its majesty.
“Corin, I’m new to the Guardian Association.”
“Marie-senpai, aren’t you in the 3rd year? A lot of practice… Ah.”
In her second year, Marie awakened as a vampire and became a person of interest. Because of that, Marie didn’t do any official activities.
Thanks to that, a promising guardian was almost inactive during his sophomore year, when he was in the midst of building his career.
“Well, let’s go out with me a lot from now on.”
“Hee hee, then I’m fine.”
As I passed through the lobby with Marie and headed to the information desk, an association employee recognized me and stepped forward.
“Welcome, Captain Corinne. I’ll take you inside.”
Thanks to this, I was able to enter the meeting room without any special procedures.
It was more like an auditorium than a meeting room of the Guardian Association. There were about seventy people sitting in their seats besides Marie and I who had arrived.
“Corin, these people.”
The association issued an order to accompany only the vice-captain among the guardians waiting for mobilization, so these would be the captain and vice-captain of each guardian.
seventy people. It seems that more than 30 Guardians were gathered here simply by calculation.
“What is it, those kids?”
“Do you bring your kids to such an important event?”
“·······.”
But there were no students among them. All we have here are veteran active duty Guardians. It was natural for them to look at us.
The nearby Guardians are a group of new inflows into the auditorium. Everyone is dressed in suits, but only one wears comfortable casual wear.
“Has everyone gathered?”
A middle-aged man with a stern look and a shaggy beard. He is the president of the association, a former knight who is likely to be active on active duty even now.
He was also the person who was seated by Master Erin, who has a considerable influence on the association.
“The story goes fast without much talk.”
The outline given by the president of the association was simple and clear.
The Protestant convoy escorting the criminals was attacked by a group of magicians and mercenaries, and they had no choice but to retreat.
During this process, the saintess was in charge of the rear, and as a result of sending an advance team to confirm, the saintess was captured alive.
“giant?”
A man who was listening to the president’s story while holding a teacup stopped moving.
“Isn’t that from a legend?”
“You idiot. Giants did exist. There are still half-giants in the North.”
“I know that. But no giants have survived to modern times.”
Tak the teacup! A man who puts it down. He put forward a realistic guess.
“It must be a type of golem. They say it was created by absorbing the flesh of a chimera and the core of a golem? It’s surprising that it formed a golem of that size, but it’s not impossible if you’re the head of the Golden School.”
“You seem to know a lot about golems, right?”
“We have a long-term contract with the Luden family, the famous golem masters. They buy the rare metals we collect at a good price.”
Oh man, I remembered. This is Mr. Rendall, a helper you can meet in the character scenario of Golem Master Cranel Luden.
He was the one who saved the golem core needed to manufacture the joint great magic
“Anyway, it’s surprising that he created a golem like that, but the Mage Tower did something crazy.”
Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.
Guardians who agree with Mr. Randall’s opinion.
It would be better if another incident similar to the assassination of the president of the academy was triggered, and the reaction would not be this great.
Estelle Hadassa El Ras, a saint of the Protestant Church and the first princess of El Ras, a hegemonic nation on the continent.
This person is more untouchable than Marie.
She is a woman like a nuclear bomb that can simultaneously turn the most powerful Protestant sect and the powerful kingdom of El Las into enemies.
It is a case that is different from the case of assassinating the chairman, which can take time by saying that it was simply a runaway of some group.
“Isn’t the magic tower attack in a certain order?”
“The Kingdom Army? Will the Paladins of the Order also come forward?”
“It’s hard to win against the kingdom army even with the mage tower. The problem is how many guardians are mobilized…”
Even if everyone doesn’t say anything, they are in an atmosphere of reluctance to go to war.
If it’s natural, it’s a natural atmosphere. The situation on the continent has stabilized and the enemy of mankind is limited to demons. A large-scale war will not do them any good.
The mobilization order that could mobilize all the Guardians was only possible in the final battle where the survival of mankind depended.
But in this situation. In the original work and in the previous episodes, the president of the association made a trick.
“Heh, don’t worry. The mobilization amount allocated to our branch in this mobilization order is only seven elite guardians.”
Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.
Guardians breathe a sigh of relief at the words of the association president. There are over 30 Guardians here alone. They thought they would be excluded with a fairly high probability.
However, the president’s words are not over yet.
“Ah~ By the way, ‘unlimited plunder’ is allowed for the Guardians who are going to subdue the Mage Tower this time. Whether it’s material resources… human resources.”
“······!!”
“what?!”
Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.
Guardians distorted in astonishment.
It literally means allowing plunder without any restrictions.
The goods and many magic tools that the Mage Tower has accumulated over hundreds of years. Even the wizards themselves.
I will even allow the acquisition of slaves. It was an unconventional proposal in the progenitor of the present continent, where slavery is illegal and only the heinous are degraded into slavery.
The Church aside, it’s a bold admission to see just how far the kingdom is aspiring.
“We, the Red Hammer Knights, will gladly save the saintess!”
“It’s so damn embarrassing! Our Modern Magic Research Association will be much more helpful!”
“The president of the association! The president of the association! Of course, that includes the Excalibur division, right?!”
Due to the reaction of the guardians who were distorted by greed, the auditorium was in a bad mood.
In a war where victory was virtually certain, plunder without limits was allowed. How much money can you make with just one war?
Anticipating such a reaction, the president of the association leisurely watched the abyss.
Slowly, the president of the association, who waited until it faded on its own, soon issued a statement.
“The seven elite guardians have been selected in advance. The guardians who do not belong to this category will each be able to dispatch up to four elite guardians.”
The list of Mage Tower subjugation guardians announced by the president of the association is as follows.
——-
——-
1. Red Brotherhood
2. Rounds
3. Knights of Fianna
4. Modern Magic Research Society
5. Iron Warhammer
6. Northern Army
7. Corinne Guardians
——-
——-
─────────────!!!!
The Guardians who joined the subjugation party sighed in relief, and the Guardians who could not join each raised their irrationality.
And among them, there are those who jump to their feet while slicking their gorgeous honey blonde hair.
“This is so absurd, President!”
“Something? Allen, leader of the invisible Golden Hand Guardians.”
“The selection of the other Guardians is somewhat understandable! But Corinne Guardians is different!”
Oh, it’s a familiar face. Was it the second son of a fairly large guild located in the royal capital? It was a guild that gave salty missions.
“The Corinne Guardians? Who are they?”
“They’re kids made by academy students.”
“Including those who haven’t even dried blood?! Isn’t that unreasonable!”
Even though I’m a pretty cool rookie knight, I’m new to the Guardians, only two months old. It seems that information about the members has not been widely spread yet.
Well, I deliberately neglected the big missions just because the Mage Tower guys were messing with the lab.
“Student Corinne! Think carefully! This is not something you guys can handle!”
Captain Allen approached me and urged me to resign from the Mage Tower Subjugation. If you’re from this family, what’s next?
“However, it would be a pity to miss this opportunity. Our invisible Golden Hands are the Guardians of the Golden Hands, which are among the top ten in the royal capital. If Student Corin transfers Tio to us, we will compensate without regret.”
“What!? You Allen! Cowardly!”
“Participating in subjugation with money? Is it okay if this is allowed, President of the Association!”
“·······.”
The president of the association remained silent without restraining Allen’s actions. It is a tacit consent.
At the association’s president’s non-interference, Allen became more energetic and even presented a specific amount.
“If you fall into the subjugation, I will give you 2,000 gold coins as a lump sum. How about it?
Two thousand gold coins. 2 billion in Hanwha.
It is a reasonable suggestion that can be tempted in subjugation where you are not sure how much return will return. but······.
“It’s fun. Try more.”
Our lovely vice-captain smiled brightly.
