Dragon Poor

280. Cultists (1)

A battle took place on all the borders of the central and eastern continents.

For the Middle Kingdoms, I felt like I was being bludgeoned by the Alliance of the Eastern Kingdoms.

It was a real setback.

The attack on Iberia did not seem to bring down the strong Iberian army easily, but I was afraid of the order of the Church when I returned to my own country.

But from the beginning, the answer was the same as the one shown.

No matter how scared the cult was, it was better than losing the foundation that had been piled up throughout the generations.

[Those who bite the troops on the front line are doomed!]

Once again, the Church noticed that they had lost their minds, but they couldn't change the minds of the central kingdoms who had already decided to retreat.

An hour was in a hurry.

The central kingdoms that had been weakened by the long war could never endure the aggression of the eastern world, and at least they had all escaped, so the border was not strange at any time.

I couldn't keep up with the time if I waited.

Unfortunately, they couldn't get off the wire.

The cavalry from the north, which was heading north, began to massacre all the troops who had escaped the encampment, hovering near the front lines.

Unlike before, the nobles didn't give up on crossing the line this time.

“With 4,000 troops, they won't be able to ambush them. ”

Several nobles among them rushed out of the line, but the herdsmen who had been divided into hundreds of small troops had gathered together again.

After believing in 4,000 troops, the nobles went out on the front line and were killed along with the soldiers under attack by more than 10,000 cavalry.

“This war has not been won since the beginning! Unlike the rest of us who have spent so much power against the Demon King, they are not completely preserving their power! ”

The nobles realized how absurd this war was. But it's too late.

I was excited to attack Iberia and now I can't offer a truce because the situation has become disadvantageous.

“The Pope wants Iberia destroyed. As faithful believers, we must do what he wants. ”

“You are the nobles of the Fatherland! Or a priest of the Church! You don't even know what's important in this situation! ”

The zealots who insisted that we should pursue the war with the pagans by the will of God until the end, and the slow awakened nobles, persecuted him every day.

But they had no choice from the start. It was the Church that waged the war, and the Church still held the reins.

[The nobles on the front do not worry about the rear, but do everything in the temple by the will of God. The supply of the heretic you have built will be a stepping stone to paradise for you and your family.]

Instead, the leaders of the dying central kingdom ordered the war.

Until then, the labor of the nobles who were not giving up persuasion to defend the border became obsolete.

“If we're lucky enough to win this war, we won't be able to find the royal films that have been piled up over the generations. ”

The fallen nobles helped themselves. During the war with the Demon King, all of their countries that had been replaced by human resources were already members of the Church. Despite the destruction of the country, they despaired of the royal will to take orders from the Church.

“We attack again. ”

Despite the somewhat slow onset of aggression, the Iberian army's rise to power following news of the Alliance's participation in the Eastern Kingdom did not give up the border easily.

However, the nobles who gave up their country entirely continued to attack Iberian fortresses without giving in.

The fortress of a few men has fallen again. In the process, the Federation of Central Kingdoms suffered enormous damage. The nobles who used to send soldiers from behind are on the front line, unlike usual, and are exposed to intensive attacks by the Iberians.

The reckless act of throwing your own life away was the last salute the nobles send to the royal family, and a long history was sent to the monarch who fell into the gutter.

The sovereigns of each country who didn't really care about their lives called their deaths holy martyrdom, and they named martyrs as martyrs they did not want to live by.

When so many nobles embarked on the path of martyrdom, the Church declared war on the Eastern Kingdom Federation.

Now, the declaration of the original holiness had faded and could not give a hint of inspiration to the heads of the Eastern Kingdom Federation.

“If the Church goes to war, it must be a temple. Instead, the war has come to the point where they think their will is the will of God. ”

Rather, I only bought ridicule.

However, the temple was never meant to be light for the church.

It was a sole believer who was determined to never stop the war, and it was a declaration that he would continue to use the power of the forbidden which had never been released by the Church.

“Enemies are in a strange state! ”

The troops of the Church and soldiers of Iberia repeating at the front line noticed the foreign body first.

“Die! You devil! ”

Phew.

An enemy soldier with a sharp spear pierces the ship deeper and deeper. The soldier in Iberia thought it was just a painful move.

But it wasn't.

The enemy soldier draws his spear and uses the dragon to get any closer to the Iberian soldier. That gesture is so frightening that the Iberian soldier stumbles back without even knowing it.

Tuck.

I was unlucky. I stumbled upon the corpse while stepping back, and the only Iberian soldier opened his eyes wide. The approaching soldier was holding out his face as if breathing.

“Huh?"

A soldier who sees the eyes of an oddly bloodshot enemy opens his eyes wide.

“Huff.”

At that moment, the enemy bites the neck of the poor Iberian soldier. The Iberian soldier spills his blood and saves the day. However, the soldier in the Central Army, who had red eyes, continued to bite the victim's neck.

And soon, I saved myself.

That scene happened everywhere.

Soldiers in the Middle Kingdom act as if they don't feel any pain. As long as they are breathing, they constantly rush towards the Iberian army.

The red-blooded eyes and the rushing shape of my life were like the legendary berserker.

The damage is imminent. Even the Iberian military commanders were able to see that the enemy's condition was abnormal as the world began to tilt.

“No, I can't stop it! ”

But I guess I realized it too late.

When the commanders tried to change the situation, the enemy who had already turned into an evil spirit was climbing up the wall and grinding his teeth.

“I renounce the exorcism and surrender myself from the fortress! ”

Eventually, the Iberians had to give up their foreign nationality and decide to make the final stand in the Resistance.

“Retreat! Retreat! ”

A squadron leader who was leading the retreating troops to the end opened his eyes to the horrors of hell.

“What the hell... ”

I noticed a soldier with a crooked jaw who cried and tried to kill one more enemy somehow. A soldier with his legs cut off right next to him is scraping the floor, his fingernails crumbling and crawling toward me.

The young commander faced an enemy who looked like them in the past. This is exactly how the Demon King led the army of dead lions.

But they were not lions. The hot breath from the mouth stained with flesh and blood tells me that they are alive. Unlike that of the lion, the red blood they shed was still warm and not stiff.

Tsk.

After a moment of awe, the enemy grabs you by the ankle. He was a leg soldier who had been cut off long before.

“Hap!”

The slow awakening commander raises his sword high and cuts the lion's throat. The soldier, who was constantly moving after his leg was cut off, only stopped moving.

“Ah.”

The commander turns around and tries to leave the battlefield, noticing that there are no allies left on the wall. However, no matter when it approached, the red-eyed enemy was surrounding the area.

“This is a nightmare.... ”

I grabbed the sword with all my might, but the commander couldn't hold on much longer, and his limbs were torn off by an evil rushing enemy.

Soon after, the fortress's resistance fell as well.

* *

Nearly a dozen Iberian fortresses have fallen to the enemy in the last few days. The fortresses that had been able to withstand the onslaught of their enemies had all been destroyed at once.

It was impossible to understand. The Iberian military command was unable to recall why the balance of the front suddenly collapsed.

[It was hell.]

Fortunately, there are survivors who have escaped from the collapsed fortress, and the situation on the front is well known through them.

[Enemies were like berserkers and living dead. Even if their legs are cut off, their hands and feet are crushed, they don't seem to feel any pain, and they rush towards the ally until the moment their throats are cut off.]

There were different fortresses, but the survivors' testimony was one thing.

“It can't be...”

Prince Iberia, who instinctively knew that the Church was up to something, called out in haste.

“What's the situation on the other line?" ”

A commanding officer with the Grand Duke's orders hurriedly left the conference room. And I came back shortly after.

“It's all the same! ”

The white deputy screams the same thing on the front lines of the Alliance of the Eastern Kingdoms at war.

“After a strange chorus that had never been heard resounded, there was no room for enemies to turn! ”

The terrible news didn't end there.

“There's a crowd approaching the border right now. ”

“No way... ”

“They are also being led by priests with bloodshot eyes. ”

The deputy says the Grand Duke of Iberia is shaking his head.

“Reports on the mainland suggest that the current situation is caused by the secret art of the Church that makes the congregation fanatics. ”

It was strange for a weak church to wage war against powerful empires and Eastern kingdoms, and that was all the more reason.

The troops that the Church mobilized for this war were all members of the continent.

“This is why the Demon King and the Pope are so different! ”

In the eyes of the Pope Iberia, the Demon King who made the western peoples into Maine and pushed the believers into the battlefield by phototranscription.

“All but the fortress of Sevilla with the Raohim ball have been taken! ”

Then another Bibo flew in.

“Old, the border is completely collapsed! The forces of the Middle Kingdom are marching across the border like water! ”

The border of Iberia will not withstand the brutality of the berserkers created by the evil secret arts of the Church.

“Push the wire, push the means and means! Iberia must never become a battlefield! ”

So, when the leaders of the alliance of Iberia and the Eastern Kingdoms were looking for a countermeasure to the evil arts of the Church, the missing Grand Duke finally returned.
