Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 63. First Air Strike (4)

“What, what, what!? ”

The first of the three to respond was Isha.

The frozen expression disappears everywhere. Immediately, Isha yells with a frantic look on her face.

“Come on, you! What did you just say? ”

“I'm in a fight with the Holy Nation. ”

I kindly said it again in case you didn't hear.

However, it seemed to Isha that she did not want to hear. When you open your mouth, you open your eyes like a scared rabbit.

After a while, Isha's mouth suddenly twitched.

Like you're trying so hard to smile.

“Phew, you're funny too. Such jokes. ”

“Did you see me joking? ”

After Ferda stops speaking and rebukes, Isha trembles.

Then he shouted with his eyes wide open.

“No, are you crazy?! The opponent is the Holy Land, Holy Land! The empire is too powerful to enter! ”

If I leave it still, I'll grab at least the collar.

I nodded quietly, looking at Isaiah, who was growling.

“I know. ”

“Someone who knows it now · · · · · · · · · ·! ”

“So if we're going to take him down, now's our chance. ”

The Holy Land grows stronger over time. It counts and swallows the land. Then, in the end, it stops in front of the practice. So I had to cut the flow for the right time.

And Ferda decided the time was right.

Now is the perfect time to lead the kingdom and fight the Holy Kingdom.

Then someone raised their hand.

“I'm sorry to interrupt. ”

It was Robert. He asked in a bold tone, catching everyone's attention.

“May I speak freely, if I may? ”

“Whatever.”

Robert nods happily and continues.

“I'll be honest with you. I don't like the Holy Land either. ”

Of course. Ferda told me that Saint Ser Hame beat the crap out of him while he was in the capital.

“But I don't even know why I want to turn my back on the enemy with this plot. Why do you want to face the Holy Land so badly? ”

Robert's eyes are filled with confused emotions.

It was worth it. Even if he hated the Holy Land, he wouldn't have been at war. Robert asks again, just in case.

“Is it simply because you're a commander? or · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Yes, for practice. ”

Ferda nods softly.

Robert is also an admitted colleague. So I didn't mean to lie. So I decided to answer honestly.

“But this is also for you. ”

“What? What's that? ”

“Imagine the support of the Second Prince. ”

Robert closes his mouth.

Now you've come to realize that the greatest force supporting the Second Prince, Sarphene, is the Holy Land of Ser Heim.

Ferda continues her conversation without missing her tooth.

“The greater the power of the Holy Land, the less likely you are to sit on the throne. So you need to keep your nose down right now. ”

I purposely avoided violent expressions such as war or fighting.

It was to persuade me slowly while using a slightly mild word.

“What would you do if the Holy Nation rebelled? ”

“You don't have to worry about that. The Holy Land would never do that. ”

“Hmm? Why? ”

“That's why monsters use their sacred power. ”

Ferda continues with a non-trivial struggle.

Robert gives an awkward look.

“Technically, that's not something the Holy Nation can prove. ”

“Generally speaking, yes. But think about the situation. ”

Ferda looks out the window.

Even at this moment, fruit was falling from the sky. Several of the fruits fell to Mullen. I watched the scene and continued to talk.

“Many will die in this raid, and the kingdom will be devastated. But if you listen to what I just said in this situation, how do people react? ”

“Of course · · · · · · · ·. ”

“I'll ask the Holy See to prove it. Why do monsters use their sacred power? If you didn't do it, then explain to me why the monsters are using the Divine Power. ”

There's only one way to prove it.

Describe evolution. But Ferda didn't say it first, and they couldn't have known it.

“So the Holy Land will have to stand idly. ”

Into a trap of their own.

“All we have to do is watch them struggle. ”

After saying something, Ferda twists her mouth and laughs.

The Devil was also a sinister smile that would weep.

Then Radina, who was looking at it from afar, suddenly turned over a thick blanket. Then he shudders and mutters.

[· · · · · · · · Ugh, Uncle Muisher. He's a scary guy.]

As soon as Radina finishes her speech.

You nod as if everyone agrees, except for the truth.

* * *

Same time.

The Holy Land of Ser 'Rahim literally flipped over.

The reason was simple. It was all of a sudden a lot of fruit poured out of the sky. Many buildings have collapsed due to a sudden attack and casualties have plummeted.

It wasn't just that.

An unidentified monster protrudes from the fruit, hurting people. As a result, some areas of the capital were closed, and the number of deaths soared.

But there was a real problem.

The biggest crisis facing the Holy Nation was neither the number of monsters nor their infectious abilities. It was that they used the same kind of power as the Holy Land.

A war in the middle of the capital Eluhim.

The high priests' faces were darkened.

“What the hell is going on?! ”

“How can a monster be so divine? ”

It was a confusing face.

It was worth it. The power of the Holy Spirit was a relic of the worshippers of God, Ser Ham, the Holy Country. But I'm surprised that monsters that look weird use their sacred power.

“Could it have something to do with the trust from ten days ago? ”

Then someone raised such suspicions.

About ten days from now. A new trust came down before the disaster. But there was something a little strange about the new trust.

The second plague will be lifted up and made stronger than the prophecy. The Faith has not received a name. Return to the sanctuary immediately.

The content was quite straightforward, not as vague as it had been so far. He also mentioned the Cardinal without a name, and I don't know why, but it seemed rather urgent.

Some of the high priests and cardinals questioned it, but they did not put it out of their mouths. It was only heresy to question the trust.

“This doesn't make any sense at all! ”

“They're a disaster! Terrible catastrophe to destroy the world! ”

“Why are they so sacred? ”

When some priests shouted excitedly.

“Quiet, everyone! ”

Someone vomited out a loud scream.

Then the priests quickly closed their mouths. I had to. The person who stopped the conversation was none other than Errhim, the ruler of Serrhaim.

“No more pointless arguments. We're here to discuss a course of action. ”

Like he said, the purpose of this place today was to prevent disasters. The priests who reminded him of his purpose turned their heads and retreated.

As the commotion subsides, Erkin immediately turns away.

“I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Lord Eloden. ”

Errhim's gaze reaches the old knight beside him.

Faladin Eloden, the knight with white hair.

This year, he is the leader of the 1st Paladin and only one paladin in the Holy Nation. He was also officially known as the most powerful paladin of Sererheim.

They often refer to the greatest knights in the Eastern continent as the Duke of Setier. But before the duc reached the Grand Master's throne, Eloden was the most powerful knight on the Eastern continent.

“It's all right. Don't worry, Holy Father. ”

Eloden grins.

It really didn't seem to mind. Herheem nods slightly, then speaks with a serious face.

“Tell me about the monster you saw. how much of their sacred power they use and how much of a threat they pose. ”

Eloden bows, fearful of Herheim's words.

Immediately, a hard voice came out.

“By simply combining their sacred power with their combat strength, one individual is equivalent to a daily paladin. ”

First Class paladins are the lowest grade paladins.

In other words, it means a formal paladin who has just escaped his apprentice. It was also explainable as a step into Expert from Biginer.

“But their power isn't just their divine power. ”

“I heard about that. When you get hurt, you turn into one of them? ”

“Yes, it is. The time change depends on the individual, but we have yet to figure out which factors are causing the time difference. ”

Eloden sighs and tightens her head.

Then, a third party intervened in the conversation. It was Cardinal Rich Hills, called the Second Order of the Holy Nation.

“So what if we treat the wound before the change begins? Doesn't that solve it? ”

“I thought so, but healing wounds with healing magic could not stop the change. ”

“Whoa, how did this happen? · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The Cardinal's face darkened.

It was then.

Heave-ho!

Instead of being tightly closed, the door of the temple was wide open. The paladin in silver armor then shouts with an urgent face.

“That, Feedback! Breaking news!”

He was the deputy commander of the 1st Paladin and a vocal paladin of the 1st Paladin. On the other hand, Eloden frowns at his servant's frantic visit.

“In front of the Holy Father. Be polite.”

“I'm fine. Let's hear the news first. ”

Errhim replies as if he doesn't care.

He knows that Vloren is a calm man like a still lake. Does he not look like he used to? I thought it was a really urgent report.

And Errhim's guess was right.

“Three fortresses, including Southern Wu and Ulgot, have been wiped out! ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

“What?"

“Wolgott's been breached already? ”

The high priests, including the paladins, huddled around.

Ulgot is a city on the southern border of the Holy Land. At the same time, it was an impregnable fortress that had never been taken down for hundreds of years. I was surprised that such a place was breached in just half a day.

“That's not all! They made their way from Ulgot to Bella. Probably by now, Bella and her neighboring city. ”

Consecutive Vivo.

The faces of those who heard the news grew paler and paler. But Eloden was the exception. He asked without a single eyebrow twitching.

“What's the status on Londheim? ”

“We received a report that you are currently engaged! We dispatched three knights and the priesthood as we thought we needed support, but did we arrive on time · · · · · ·. ”

Wheelen bites her lip tightly as she joins her words.

Rondheim is the final gateway and final barrier you can hear before reaching Eluhim. If this place is even breached, we may have to fight in Eluhim next.

The situation was much worse than I expected.

Instead, the atmosphere in the past sank heavily. Eloden, who was expressionless, opened his mouth.

“In my opinion, this is a test. ”

“Hmm? A test? ”

“Yes. Isn't it in the Bible? God is always watching us and testing us. And that doesn't change when the world is on the brink of extinction. ”

There was definitely a phrase like that.

Then I thought about it, and it didn't make any sense. There's no way a monster can use its sacred power without God's test.

Just when some priests nodded and shook their heads.

“No matter how much they use the power of the sacred, it can't be the same depth as us. So we need to defeat them with more sacred power, which is only allowed to us. ”

Suddenly, Eloden kneels on the ground.

Then the horse heads for Ergheem.

“Every paladin in Serrhaim, including myself, is prepared to lay down his life for the test. So give the order at any time, Holy Father. ”

The red eyes beyond the creased eyes glow in horror.

I could feel the frenzy beyond my obsession.
