The Holy See Celt walks down the Imperial corridor with Raphael.
The Imperial Palace is a sacred place with a quiet and serene atmosphere.
Even servants and maids are trained to walk without footsteps as a basic skill.
There was a small commotion in the palace.
Celt looks out the window.
Thousands of people have gathered in the imperial palace surrounded by walls and vast battlefields.
7Ten thousand priesthood positives that the Pope wanted to do, it began.
“Isn't it amazing? ”
Celt pauses.
Rafael bows his head.
“The wretch informed the continent of the Great Depression. ”
The Holy Father's succession. The Vampire attack is fearful of it.
The atmosphere of the continent changed.
The influence of the Great Depression is known throughout the continent, and paladins have been dispatched more frequently.
The accusations of those involved with the vampire, or those with such suspicions, have begun.
“Isn't that great? The unification of race and religion. ”
According to Celt, Raphael nods.
The group of clergy Allen wanted to create was indiscreet.
Capacity is 10,000.
Race or religion is irrelevant.
Identity also did not discriminate.
It doesn't matter if you have proven toughness or persistence that doesn't give up.
“Gaia, Goddess of Life and Love. ”
Abundance, farmer's god Tomer, battlefield god heim, etc.
“And Judy, the God of Death. ”
Each of them values their own faith and ignores the faith of others.
However, these walls of the Pantheon collapsed.
who hated each other, who were angry, who showed up, etc.
However, even with the conflict of war, the Pantheon gradually began to unite.
Because of the Dark Elves, the pride of Princess Tinya.
The world's waters have made Aslan a land of abundance.
This was greatly influenced by Alan.
Thanks to this, the followers of Gaia have begun to emerge from Aslan.
‘Quite the contrary. ’
The Catholic Church appeared to worship the God of Death.
This is also because Allen uses commandery.
There is no conflict.
Rather, the theologians of each country come together to have heated discussions and strengthen intimacy.
“The world has begun to unite. ”
This is a stranger thousands of years ago.
This kind of cohesion exerts a powerful power in driving out vampires.
“But 10,000. ”
Celt frowns.
No matter how powerful the recession may be, it is true that it is difficult to raise funds within a short period of one year.
“... The Crown Prince requests supplies." ”
At Raphael's words, Celt presses her temples down.
Food, armor, and other weapons and equipment must be paid for throughout the year.
Of course, if you open an Imperial Report, there's nothing you can't do, but it's a big sum.
“You can't be bitten now. ”
There is pride as a Holy Father.
The first thing my grandson is proud to do is stop me from using it.
“Open the Imperial Court report, and you can guess. ”
“That's... Funds are already in place. ”
Celt's eyes widen.
You hurriedly turn around and look at Raphael.
Raphael grunts.
“... the prince has already paid for it. ”

I walked through the halls of the Imperial Palace.
Hans and Charlotte accompany you behind.
“There's no problem with the money. ”
Yeah, no problem.
Money? What's the big deal?
I have treasures from Aslan's tomb.
“It doesn't matter how many men you recruit. ”
This is an opportunity to increase your status.
From all over the continent, to the peasants, to the runaways of slaves and mercenaries.
They'll all be there.
Toughness is a problem, and persistence does not give up.
We have to test it.
“I asked my sister for too much. ”
I made a bitter smile.
Before Hilda left for the territory, she asked for 10,000 pieces of equipment.
Chain mail and swords, spears and arrows, maces and shields.
divided into different weapons.
- Don't worry, three months is enough!
Hilda stood up her detection and confidently spoke.
I just want the Dwarves to be free of excess.
I stared at the men in the hallway, gathering at the training ground.
Under Haman's command, recruits poorly line up.
I saw a look that was unsheathed as I stretched the yawn.
“There are no armies of the realm. ”
“Dannara?”
Charlotte tilts her head.
I saw familiar faces among the recruits.
This is Charlotte's stepfather, Grill, who was in Lonia.
“Did you sign up for the grill? ”
“... I tried to stop him, but he wanted to. ”
Charlotte shakes her head on her forehead as if she were in trouble.
Well, if the paladin is a dream, I can't help it.
I do not intend to stop if I have a promotion at a late age.
I also saw Edolf and Yuria in Iceland.
These are the two people I sent you a letter of recommendation for.
I smiled at them.
“But it's not going to be easy to get a new identity. ”
I looked at Hans and Charlotte.
All you need is a soldier who can fight, not a prey that boosts the morale of your enemies.
“What are you going to do? ”
In Charlotte's question, I glanced at the soldiers.
A hundred cuts in the air and hundreds of drills in a harmless greenhouse cannot reach a soldier with practical experience.
“They must fight the Vampires. ”
So you'd better give the soldiers a good experience.
“Put the book in front of Princess Tinya in Aslan. ”
Suddenly, when the princess of Aslan is mentioned, Charlotte and Hans tilt their heads in wonder.
“I'm going to use the barrier at the border. Move troops there. ”
It will be a great opportunity to give them a practical experience.
* *
It's been two weeks since the recruits arrived.
The recruits have gained stamina through training.
By the time the recruits had adapted to some training, they had been provided with equipment.
Grill frowns.
The equipment in front was worn out and shabby.
Even the abandoned weapons of the countryside will not rust like this.
The grill picks up a brown bitten axe and a rotting wooden shield.
“What am I supposed to do with this? ”
“I see. ”
Grill turns his gaze to the side.
Edolf, the mercenary, picks up his sword.
Instead of cutting something with missing teeth in the blade, it looks like a beating dragon.
“I'll use this... ”
Grill looks at Edolf.
You can see a girl grabbing the dagger.
“I know you're over 18 years old, so why is this kid like this? ”
Yuria frowns and kicks the grill's leg with her foot.
Grill groans and strokes his legs.
“I received a letter of recommendation. ”
“Of whom?”
Yuria asked Edolf a question.
“Allen, duck mercenary. ”
Edolf shuts up.
That meant that the seven princes, or now the Holy Father, had written their own letters of recommendation.
“Oh, right. ”
As Edolph, Yuria was not to be ignored.
He also received a letter of recommendation.
“But there's a lot of them. ”
Yuria said as she looked at those who gathered at the training ground.
Edolf said.
“The first parasite is said to have 2050 parasites. He said he would accept stages 2 through 10 later.
“Stage 10?”
Yuria tilts her head.
So it's not just 10, it's 20.
Edolf shakes his head as if he didn't know.
“Anyway, let's be good to each other! ”
Grill reaches out his hand.
“Oh, of course. Let's work well together. ”
Edolf grabs Grill's hand.
When Yuria reached out and grabbed her hand, Grill said.
“The little girl is not overwhelming.... ”
My feet were cold again.
The rush of supplies is over.
Soon Haman's command began.
“Prepare everyone, start training now…. ”
It was then.
The paladins have entered.
When Haman stops in shock, one of the paladins approaches him and whispers.
“Practical training? Where? The Aslan border? ”
The paladin nods.
The paladins at the training ground gave the bags to the recruits.
“What, is it so heavy? ”
Rookies in armor.
The luggage they were given was leather.
Inside were weekly rations and drinking water, camp tents and linen, bandages and simple medicine, and other field shovels.
“From now on, the march begins. ”
The recruits stare at Haman in surprise.
“The target point is the border region of Aslan, as far as the barrier. Two weeks overdue."
Two weeks?
The rookie's eyes widen.
It takes two weeks to ride a wagon.
Walking in on it, this many people, two weeks from now?
“Those left behind will be disqualified. ”
Haman yells at the recruits.
“What the heck? Everybody, get your things! ”
The recruits lift their luggage.
With Haman in the lead, the soldiers march out of the Imperial Palace in formation.
March has begun.
It is not yet winter.
Snow falls from the sky.
You see the new soldiers marching with the paladins leading the wagon.
“Phew... Phew..."
Grill picks up his luggage and exhales.
Edolf looks at Yuria beside him.
“Are you okay?”
“Don't worry. We can do enough. ”
Yuria howls on her back, carrying a burden larger than her own.
“By the way."
Edolf frowns.
“When do they rest? ”
Eight hours march, two hours rest, eight hours march.
Hard march continuum.
Sleep is also filled with 2 hours of rest.
The recruits are exhausted.
“The ones you're up against are nocturnal vampires. ”
Haman shouts as he walks along the march.
“Adapt, or you won't be a priest, not a paladin! ”
At Haman's words, Grill sighs.
Haman, who shouts and commands the soldiers, is also marching, but he is not tired.
What is that monster's stamina?
He was once Charlotte's boss. Though now I'm working for Charlotte.
“Dammit, who am I, a father with a paladin's daughter? I can't stand this! ”
Grill grips his teeth and moves forward.
“Oh, this sucks! ”
Edolf turns to look at you, flawed.
Yuria stares at the leading grill, making an impression.
“I don't think I can go there either! ”
Yuria follows the grill.
“Persistent people. ”
Edolf turns his head. And then it hardened, startled.
“Don't you find that uncomfortable? ”
Some of the recruits were unique.
Baggage that is carried over heavy chain mail, a coat, and back.
It makes no difference to the other recruits.
It's not a helmet, it's a bird's beak mask on your face.
“Never.”
A rookie in a bird beak mask shakes his head.
Halfway from the beginning.
Edolf asked if there was such a weirdo.
“Sounds like a colleague in the future, what's your name? I'm Edolf."
Edolf reaches out his hand, and the other party claps his hands together.
“The pharmacist, Extra. ”
The march continues and half of you fall out.
Two weeks later.
The recruits are finally able to see the target.
“Bo, I see it! ”
“The Wall!”
The recruits point their fingers at the wall that stands at Aslan's border.
Everyone was happy to see the high walls.
Haman inhales and exhales.
He shakes his head and shouts, "Are you tired, too?"
“Prepare to make camp! ”
Everyone's tired, so get ready for camp.
“It's over. ”
“No, there's a way back. ”
“Oh, my God! Goddess Gaia! ”
“At least you'll get a good night's sleep. ”
Soldiers complain.
Grill, Edolf and Yuria prepare for camp.
Gather firewood and pitch tents.
Looking at the big wall, the grill gives out an admiration.
“This is the barrier against Aslan. ”
It is the borders of Aslan, where Charlotte crossed over and waged war.
“Mister, my mouth is open. ”
Grill silences Yuria.
Edolf approached them and said,
“We have food and water. ”
It's been a long week since we ran out of food in a two-week march.
That's why the new food and water supplies are at the barrier.
“That's a lot, isn't it? ”
Yuria's eyes widen.
“Another week or so. ”
Edolf pats his chin.
Then I looked at the other recruits.
Some of them are being eaten heavily. The other recruits carefully store some of it in their luggage.
“... I think food and water are important here. ”
“I will. I like to cherish. ”
Edolf turns his head to the sound of sudden chatter.
“Oh, I mean... ”
“Extra.”
A unique name.It was also a good name to forget.
Grill looked at the man in the bird-beak mask and said,
“What a strange mask. I'm either a former priest or a freak. ”
“... you're even weirder. ”
“Did you hold a grudge against me? ”
“You're the one who got into trouble first. ”
Grill and Yuria are in a full-blown rage.
Extra looks at Edolf and says,
“May I join you? ”
“Of course.”
Edolf nods.
He may look strange, but he doesn't seem like a bad person.
Above all, a pharmacist will help you later.
Edolf watches Grill, Yuria and Extra talk.
He turned his gaze to the wall, behind them.
Priests in white robes gather.
In front of them, you see the wizards in black robes.
"A commander?"
Aslan became a member of the Holy See.
It is natural to seek the help of a commander.
But why are they here?
“Rest in peace! Today's training ends with a march. ”
The recruits cheer for Haman.
Edolf gives a meaningful look.
“Is it true?”
“What?”
Edolf answered Yuria's question.
“Training.”
“You'll be all right, Haman. He's got a lot of hard, stupid delusions."
Haman sneezes.
“He has a lead. ”
Grill asked Yuria if she was surprised.
“Sir, do you know that paladin? ”
“Of course! I have a lot of connections with the nobles! ”
The grill empowers the neck.
Yuria made a meaningful face.
“You'd better get some sleep. ”
Everyone's gaze comes to Extra, the man in the bird-beak mask.
He advised.
“It's going to be hard tomorrow. ”
That's a mean thing to say.
Grill and Yuria take it lightly, and Edolf glances at the extras.
“Well, light it up! ”
The recruits fall asleep, except for the guard.
At night, the commanders lift their staff.
You use your magic to summon the fog on the floor, and it enters the rookie's tent.
The next morning.
When the recruits wake up, their eyes widen, startled.
“Cough! Cough! ”
“Uaeeeek!”
A fever broke out among the new recruits.
Some cough and vomit.
“What, what happened? ”
Grill, Edolf and Yuria look dazed.
Of the 1000 recruits, about 50 were sickened and sat on the floor.
I can barely breathe.
Edolf looks at the black spots on the recruits' faces.
Is that...?
“Plague.”
Edolf asked what Extra said.
“... plague? ”
The plague spread overnight.
Edolf hastily turns his gaze.
I see a priest.
But they're not moving.
Edolf hurriedly approaches Haman.
“Paladin, it's a plague! If we don't treat it now.... ”
Haman glances at Edolf and says,
“Don't worry. ”
“... Don't worry? ”
Yuria and Grill are approaching.
“It's just a plague that won't kill you. Of course, if the intensity gets worse, we'll take action then."
At that point, Edolf recalls the late night commanders.
No way...?
Haman looks around at the recruits.
“Next training. ”
And I told the soldiers,
“Survive the plague. ”
Grill's face pales with Edolf and Yuria.
