To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Chapter 354

Episode 354 Kingdom Alliance (2)

Several small kingdoms began to gather in the Holy Land.

The reason they took the step was simple.

First of all, it is a fact check.

No matter how much the Holy Land has declared a holy war, the risk they must bear is too great to help the Holy Land without even knowing the proper situation.

Therefore, it was necessary to understand the current situation.

The second is the presence or absence of compensation.

The fact that he helped the crusade in itself acts as a huge debt to the Holy Nation.

However, what the small kingdom alliance wanted was not that much.

From a small scale to the aid of the Holy Kingdom, to a large extent, they aim to tear apart their territories.

That’s why they visited the Holy Land with an alliance.

At a huge table sat the nobles who had come to represent the representatives of each country.

At its center are Pope Ecclei and Saints and Saints.

As long as the seat is a seat, it must mean that he paid attention to the Holy Land.

Perhaps because of that, the faces of the Small Kingdom Alliance looked quite bright.

The huge man broke the awkward silence and was the first to speak.

“I am the Duke of Beos from Isman Kingdom. Today, I would like to thank you on behalf of His Majesty the King of Isman Kingdom for graciously arranging a place for me in the Holy Land.”

Pope Ecclei greeted him with a quiet smile.

“Nice to meet you, Duke Beos.”

“…I know it’s an rude subject to bring up right away, but can you tell us about the holy kingdom’s temple in detail?”

The thing to come has finally come.

The eyes of several nobles who had been sipping tea so far focused on Ecclei.

she answered calmly.

“…For the past thousands of years, our holy kingdom has strictly governed the forces that oppose Goddess Gaia. This temple you are talking about is also just a continuation of the past. The current dark forces are clearly opposing the doctrine of the Goddess Gaia, so how can the Holy Kingdom stand by?”

At Eclay’s words, the nobles of the small kingdom quietly nodded.

Certainly, the holy kingdom has declared a holy war against all those who oppose the goddess.

And so are the dark forces.

They were completely against the doctrine of Goddess Gaia.

It was because the movement to break the upper limit and advance toward the continent was completely exposed by the upper half of the half.

Duke Beos also shook his head.

“I received information about the dark forces from the Harfman Company. It’s a presumptuous statement, but I believe that Seongguk alone will never be able to face them.”

“…That’s right.”

“We want to help the Holy Kingdom that does not hesitate to burn for the sake of the Goddess. Although it is a weak force, it is not impossible to win if several kingdoms gather.”

I know her as well.

However, their behavior, which seemed to be blatantly seeking compensation, was inevitably irritating.

There is no group that moves without gains, but I didn’t know that they would try to make a deal from the first meeting.

Iriel, who had been sitting quietly by the side, said to the Duke of Beos.

“The Holy Land is protected by the Goddess Gaia. It’s never going to break even one thing.”

It was an expression of confidence that Seongguk could do it on its own even without making a deal.

On the contrary, Duke Beos hesitated.

At the words of Iriel, who is good at diplomacy, the deal that I wanted to be concluded at any moment became tense again.

As the Duke of Beos didn’t say anything, nobles from other kingdoms gathered their mouths.

“Of course, I don’t think that the Holy Kingdom, which is protected by Goddess Gaia, will lose. However, wouldn’t the damage suffered in the process be considerable?”

“Even among the 10,000 mercenaries, less than half survived. I know the greatness of paladins, but I won’t be able to avoid damage equal to them.”

At that point, Iriel couldn’t go out like that anymore.

The basic principle of diplomacy is to give a carrot after being whipped.

I know what they want.

she said, putting down the teacup.

“Of course, such damage cannot be ignored. That’s why the Holy Kingdom needs the power of the kingdom union. If you contribute your strength, the Seongguk promises to repay you accordingly.”

In other words, it is announced that compensation will be different according to performance.

The eyes of the nobles of the kingdom, whom they had only seen for a while, stood out.

If done well, could it not be possible to expect superior growth over other kingdoms?

‘The force is strong, but in front of the united kingdom, it is nothing more than a small bowl. It’s enough if we just take advantage and take out.’

Everyone has the same thoughts, so it won’t be easy to seek help even in a war.

Ray looked at him and smiled in secret.

Even if they don’t want to help anyway, they will eventually help on the front line.

* * *

An old man walked out of the village that had turned into a muddy field.

The scenery of the village was literally hell itself.

Bodies of adults and children alike lay all over the place, and houses were reduced to ashes.

An old man in a black leather suit shook his shoulder and grumbled.

“As expected, it only blows dust. Who would be in such a remote village?”

As he walked away, Magi slithered out behind him.

Then the corpses that had just been coldly dead began to stand up on their own. With a

grotesque

friction sound, the corpses standing upright follow the old man.

It was a sight that someone would have shouted at as a necromancer, but the appearance of the corpses was a little different from that of the undead.

Unlike the undead soldiers, who rotted and gave off a disgusting scent, their appearance was intact when they were alive.

It was as if the dead had been resurrected.

When all the corpses were finally gathered behind the old man, he took a small piece of bone from his bosom and held it up.

The old man smacked his lips and hammered it into the forehead of the pale woman’s corpse.

“Oops. It’s a waste to clean up one holy kingdom, but there’s nothing we can do about it.”

widely-!

Whoa-!

Magi’s resonating sound flowed from the woman’s corpse’s forehead, emitting powerful air waves.

This made even the elderly take a couple of steps back.

He smeared his own blood around the corpse’s neck.

Then, the woman who was clearly a corpse opened her eyes.

The blood in her eyes gleamed with something that could no longer be called human.

The old man let out a sinister laugh.

“Heh heh. see Gaia. It’s imperfect, but it’s the demonic body you’ve been so wary of.”

The Small Kingdom Alliance has come forward to help the Holy Kingdom’s holy war.

As much as it required quick movement, they drew troops from their respective kingdoms and sent them to the Holy Land.

Since there were many kingdoms that were close by, it would take less than a week for reinforcements to arrive.

In the meantime, Seongguk was fully prepared.

There are still many people on the continent who don’t like the declaration of the holy war, so if you don’t prepare yourself, you don’t know when and where the sword will fly.

Sure enough, as the Small Kingdom Alliance and the Holy Kingdom banded together to prepare for war, other large-scale kingdoms interfered.

When it came out as if it was the Seongguk that promoted the atmosphere of war on the continent, it was no longer possible for the Seongguk to ignore them at all.

Eucliwood politely handed over the steaming tea.

“It seems that the breath of the kingdoms is working.”

Ray nodded at him.

“Because the dark forces won’t stand still while the holy kingdom declares a holy war.”

“I think it’s unreasonable to wage an all-out war like this… but what do you plan to do in the future?”

“We cannot choose anything. Even now, battles are taking place all over the continent. We are the one who has no time, not the other side.”

“…you’re thinking of going to an all-out war.”

Eucliwood, who looked straight into Ray’s eyes for a moment, slowly folded his back.

Her dark hair, flowing elegantly, brushed her shoulders.

“If this is truly the will of the Holy Son, the Belacroix family will only follow.”

Even after seven years, their hearts did not change, and Ray also faced her seriously.

“I can’t guarantee this future. I might have to give up my life for nothing. Will you still follow me?”

A small smile formed on Eucliwood’s lips as the serious question was put to shame.

She usually had no expression, and she looked like a doll, but her slight smile showed her neatness.

I never laugh carelessly, so when I smiled once, it felt like everything around me brightened up.

“Even if you tell me not to follow you, I will follow you. This body is only for the Holy Son.”

Loyalty that brings admiration at any time.

Even if you search for your whole life, how many subordinates like this can you get?

So far, I don’t know anything else, but I can say that the subordinate farming went very well.

After hearing Eucliwood’s report, Ray headed to Iriel’s mansion.

Iriel, who would have otherwise refused, readily agreed to his visit.

As we approached the door, she said through the door.

“Come on in.”

When he opened the door and went inside, Iriel, dressed in flowing white clothes, was sitting on the bed and looking at him.

Looking at his eyes, it seemed that the feelings he had been feeling had been relieved to some extent.

“There must be something you really want to ask me, am I wrong?”

Ray answered Iriel’s words.

“I have nothing to ask. You’ve worked hard for a while, so it’s okay to take a break now.”

“…I guess you know.”

She was a little taken aback by the fact that she had nothing to ask for, but she didn’t try to express it.

“Then what are you doing to my mansion?”

When she asked, he rummaged through his leather pouch and took out several bottles that looked like potions.

“I came to give you some presents as an apology for the past.”

“portion?”

Ordinary potions and holy water were of no use to her as a saint.

After all, she was the one who could make even a ruptured heart function again, had he not died.

When Iriel looked at him with a puzzled expression, Ray spoke briefly.

“Someday it will come in handy. Instructions for use are written on parchment.”
