Episode 158
“Kill them all—!”
“Don’t leave a single one alive—!”
Shouts and the sound of hooves echoed throughout the wilderness.
The noise didn’t stop. The cutting sound of cutting through flesh, the sound of a blow breaking a bone, the friction sound of weapons colliding, and even the screams of demons. Many sounds swirled together, but each was in sharp contrast.
It was classified into two categories. Winners and losers. The demon howled and the human spit out heat.
“Chase!”
“Kill at least one more—!”
The lucky survivors ran through the wilderness panting. They were followed by thousands of cavalry.
He pierced his back with an arrow, cut off his head with a holy sword, and pierced his hindquarters with a long spear.
The devil’s blood dyed the plains black.
Reeds covered in rotten flesh fluttered as the cavalry galloped by.
“Drive it out—!”
We had already arrived at the edge of the wilderness.
Because this area was densely forested, it was difficult for the cavalry to chase them any further.
Valkyrie, who was running at the vanguard, pulled the horse’s reins sharply.
Her steed raised his forelegs and trotted.
He slowly turned his horse’s head.
“So far.”
Then he took off his visor.
“Whoa.”
When I shook my head, my black hair was flowing and beads of sweat were scattered.
Sylvia looked at the squire.
“You caught up well.”
The squire raised the faceplate of his visor.
“Huh huh huh”
Rhett seems to have not gone away with his lingering feelings yet. He was out of breath with a red face.
Sylvia said with a grin.
“Your first experience was a temple? congratulations. “I’m not going to go anywhere and be treated poorly.”
I fought my first battle with God. I won and survived. To know such an honor! There was no luck like this.
Rhett wiped his sweat and opened his mouth.
“Really…”
I thought for a moment and then laughed.
“It was huge. “It’s hard to explain my speaking skills.”
The moment I looked at the white sheep buried in the polar night, an indescribable emotion spread throughout my body. It would be thrilling.
As I was running through the wilderness, I couldn’t think of anything. I just surrendered myself to the heat and fighting spirit.
I was so scared, but at some point I stopped feeling any fear.
Sylvia opened her mouth.
“That’s why morale is important. It’s a weapon that surpasses inferiority. “Like tactics.”
“I’m not sure, but I think I felt it a little bit.”
“You will continue to experience this in the future. Of course, the opposite is also true.”
After saying that, Sylvia pointed to Rhett’s chest.
“Do you want to take a look? “It was shining earlier.”
Rhett moved his gaze along Sylvia’s index finger.
He took the seal out of his pocket.
His expression became tinged with embarrassment.
Because the seal had a white yang engraved on it. I had been wishing for this for several years and finally received an answer.
Sylvia smiled slightly.
“congratulations. “I also earned the qualifications to apply to the Knights of the White Sheep.”
Rhett fixed his eyes on the seal for a long time. A white sun burning brightly. I ended up crying.
I held it with both hands and meditated.
“······thank you.”
Sylvia patted him on the back.
“Taekwang hates crybabies.”
It was true. Iden, whom Sylvia had seen at the monastery, hated weak humans.
I don’t know how it is now, but it was like that back then.
Rhett wiped away tears.
“I didn’t cry.”
“Then my eyes are decoration. “Are you going to turn it around?”
Rhett waved his hand as if embarrassed.
“It’s not like that.”
Sylvia burst out laughing.
“It’s a joke. “It’s good to make fun of.”
Rhett cleared his throat and put the seal back in his arms.
Then he looked at Sylvia.
“What happened to you?”
“what?”
“If you don’t mind, I want to know if you got mixed up.”
“I see. Let’s see.”
Sylvia turned over the seal around her neck.
The sun pattern was still unique.
“Uhm, I’m not there yet.”
“······okay.”
A look of regret flashed across Rhett’s face.
Sylvia chuckled.
“why? Should I at least accuse him of being an apostate and a traitor?”
“That can’t be possible, right?”
“I know, stupid.”
After saying that, Sylvia also calmed down her expression slightly. I stared at the seal.
Many Holy Knights were blooming, and now the number of them mixed began to surpass the Knights of the Sun.
There were quite a few seals with only the white sheep engraved on them. Like Rhett.
Sun Seal
White Yang Seal
A seal with a combination of the sun and white sheep.
It was an open secret that small friction was occurring between the three groups within the church.
“Hmm…”
Sylvia was lost in thought for a moment. Why isn’t it blooming? He clearly had respect for Aiden.
I read the Bible several times and today I personally felt God.
I had no intention of denying him. Taekwang is definitely a god.
But why is this like this? Memories of the past might be holding her back.
An arrogant, unlucky bastard. Sylvia shook her head and shook off her thoughts.
The more you think like this, the further away your faith will become.
She muttered lowly.
“······I wish I could meet you sometime.”
I wanted to check it out for myself. Even this feeling may be blasphemous.
Rhett stared at her and then said.
“There will be a chance.”
“Yes, that will happen someday.”
Sylvia took the reins.
“Let’s come back first.”
As I was about to head towards the main road, a paladin came from the front, driving a horse.
He shouted to his scattered troops.
“It’s a divine destiny!”
The troops who had been stretched out in the afterglow of battle all adjusted their posture.
They all looked at the senior paladin.
“The cavalry of the Daeseong Electric Division must immediately join the Eastern Front! The Heavy Cavalry Regiment is on the West Coast! “The guards should go straight to the southern part of Benbeck Bay!”
It seemed like there was no time to rest.
Although the White Bone Wilderness was recaptured, battles were still in full swing elsewhere.
I have to go help.
Taekwang’s order was given. It looks like the area around Benbeck Bay will be completely cleaned up. This was much more efficient than advancing the troops to Bayjorn like this.
We need to stabilize the surrounding area first.
Sylvia put her helmet back on and glanced at the squire.
“The first experience was quite intense. “You’re going to be sick today.”
“Don’t worry!”
Rhett could still fight.
Sylvia nodded.
“good. “Let’s go east.”
So the troops dispersed.
*
Dozens of warships also rocked along with the strong waves.
The peaceful voyage was over. Because we just left the Shaylan route. From here on, it was a sea of magic.
I could not expect the sea god to take care of me.
Inside the shaking cabin, Yuriel looked out the window.
Dark clouds covered the sky, pouring down rain. It was as if he was spitting out bad luck.
Beatrice, the ‘Saint of Punishment’ sitting across from Uriel, opened her mouth.
“Are you afraid?”
Uriel turned his gaze to Beatrice.
“Not at all. God will protect us.”
Beatrice raised her teacup.
“Who is God?”
Yuriel let out a calm voice.
“The word ‘who’ is uncomfortable to hear. God is not your friend.”
“And not many.”
“You’re still the same.”
“that’s right. “My faith is unwavering.”
Yuriel stared at her with sunken eyes.
“Are you talking about a faith that is interpreted according to convenience and preference?”
Beatrice’s eyebrows twitched for a moment. He immediately hid his expression and said.
“I just follow the golden rule. God is unique. “Isn’t that the first rule?”
“The sun modified it himself.”
“That is the ordeal. He leads us into temptation and wants us to free ourselves from evil.”
Yuriel shook his head.
“It’s just your interpretation. He is also the main culprit in harming the doctrine. Why do you think and judge as you please? “We don’t have that right.”
Beatrice put down her teacup.
“Are you denying the teachings of the great saints?”
Daishonin (???). They were noble saints and the founders who laid the foundation for the religious order.
He established many doctrines and reinterpreted the Bible to lead the group in the right direction.
Yuriel nodded.
“Some are in denial. Saints placed significance on a group called a denomination. Of course it was necessary at the time, but it is different now. Because we have the minimum conditions to serve God. There is no need or reason to interpret it like they do. “Don’t misunderstand God’s will anymore.”
After saying that, Uriel looked straight at Beatrice.
“Accept it as it is.”
Beatrice bit her lip shallowly.
“······Jakgeum, who refers to animals as subordinates?”
His Majesty was the highest title of honor. It is a title used to refer to ancient heroes such as the Pope and his family, but it has been given something like a nine-tailed fox.
As a saint of punishment, I couldn’t understand it.
Yuriel said.
“Your Majesty the Holy Mother has conceived a thousand sons. “Would the sun have done it if it didn’t want to?”
Beatrice put her hands together and closed her eyes.
“Saint Bacheksar. Please do not forgive the disrespect that has polluted your precious blood.”
Yuriel sighed deeply.
“Did you say you’ve seen His Holiness?”
Beatrice slowly lifted her eyelids.
“I was by your side when you got the heavenly army.”
That day, a small friction occurred between Aiden and Beatrice. Of course, it didn’t spread much. Because Beatrice took a step back.
Yuriel said.
“His Holiness must have noticed your disrespect.”
Iden had the mind’s eye.
The original power of Yuriel. She knew the efficiency of the mind’s eye better than anyone else.
You must have easily figured out Beatrice’s lies.
Yuriel continued.
“And yet he didn’t punish you.”
Beatrice furrowed her eyebrows.
“There is only one person who can judge me.”
Yuriel opened his mouth.
“I will respect you. But I just want to give you a warning. His Holiness Taegwang and His Holiness Seonghu are different.”
Yuriel has seen Saya up close.
“Never show hostility towards your subordinates. He doesn’t just ignore it like His Holiness. “You’ll either die or get hurt.”
Beatrice snorted silently.
Yuriel swallowed a sigh.
“Please take note. “This is advice from an old colleague.”
The moment I finished speaking, a plume of water rose vertically outside the window.
Fuuuuuuuu! The ship rocked from side to side with the impact.
Two saints stood up from their seats at the same time.
“What…”
The cabin door burst open.
“Are you okay!”
It was Daryl, the pilgrim guard captain.
He was tasked with safely landing the saints and priests.
Yuriel took a deep breath and spoke.
“We are fine. What happened?”
“There was a damn floating ship in the sky. “I heard this place has been sorted out, but you need to leave first.”
The help of saints was needed. Because we had to go around the sacred force field.
Uriel and Beatrice followed Daryl.
I quickly climbed the stairs and headed to the deck.
At the edge of the horizon, dark shapes were approaching.
Purple magic bullets rained down on the fleet.
It was still far away, so there were few effective hits.
Priests also came out and began reciting prayers.
A dome-shaped sacred wave unfolded in an instant. It surrounded the entire fleet.
The flying magic bullet touched the force field and dispersed like smoke.
I couldn’t let down my guard. That won’t be the end.
Floating ships approaching. It was encroaching on the sky. With that number, they must have made a deliberate decision.
Daryl swallowed his sleep and looked to the side.
“Hey, salted fish hero! “Don’t just keep your form, try something!”
Hero Arhan was crossing his arms and fixating his eyes on the sky.
He slowly opened his mouth.
“······Something is coming.”
“Damn that nonsense!”
“Take a closer look you idiot.”
Daryl turned his head to the sky.
“I was stuck underground, so my eyeballs were dead…”
At that moment, a loud noise erupted from the sky.
One floating ship exploded. Starting with him, flying boats exploded in succession.
Flames covered the sky. The dark clouds were swept away by the large recoil.
A blue haze was swimming in the sky.
Every time I passed between floating boats, the sky was covered with red-hot flowers.
Blue vitality and red prominence were embroidered in the shadowy sky.
In an instant, all floating ships were destroyed.
A halo of light going straight to the fleet. It passed through the force field and landed on the deck.
Someone rolled over and stopped at Daryl’s feet.
Daryl, who had been frozen, burst out laughing.
“This hero behaved like Euron!”
Euron vomited. It was so fast that my brain was shaking.
“Deeril… “Me.”
“Hey, how come you’re the same even if it’s written in the Bible?”
There was nothing cool about it.
Daryl helped him up.
He nodded
and turned his attention to those who came with Euron.
Saya Paladin Siron. There were three.
Saya said as she glanced at the priests and other personnel.
“I’m sorry. They ran away so I chased them and dragged them here. “Is anyone hurt?”
The group of floating boats seemed to be running away from Saya.
Everyone except one got down on one knee.
“I’d like to meet Your Majesty Seo Seong-hoo.”
Saya frowned.
“stop. “Because it’s cringy.”
Yuriel opened his mouth.
“Do not worry. “Everyone is safe.”
“okay? I’m glad.”
Paladin said.
“Um… how about going with them?”
“good. “I said I’d see you in 10 days, so that’s roughly correct.”
I promised to meet Aiden in Bayjorn in ten days. Murciela and Kadak will also bring the body of Petersarkin around that time.
The 2nd landing force pilgrimage group headed to Magyeong.
