Industrial revolution starting with the undead

"All right, let's call it a camp here."

"Ha. Captain!

Streets where the sun has fallen and it's getting dark.

Andre Luke, head of the 'Episcopal' patrol corps, ordered the soldiers who were next door as they torched the bonfire.

Andre himself is already old enough to be fifty-five, but his strength as a warrior is still active. But the statute of the Grand Slam Knights stipulated that those who were not in the rank of general would be discharged at the time they received fifty.

Hence, Andre, who was originally captain of the Grand Slam Knights, retired from the army, as well as at the invitation of the priest of 'Ecclesiastes', who was an acquaintance, and became head of the 'Ecclesiastes' patrol corps.

"Phew... All right, you guys! Get ready for camp!

"Ha!"

Soldiers follow the orders of the deputy chief and start preparing the camp.

A 'ecclesiastical' patrol is a group of people who are given a sacred mandate to periodically circle the villages of the country to see if cults are spreading.

Even though he was formerly a soldier, this task of abolishing cults and crusading cults was rewarding if we tried to make him an ardent follower of 'Ecclesiastes'. He has led the patrol as head of the regiment and has repeatedly and repeatedly given divine punishment to the wicked.

"But you were right about the chief priest. I didn't know cults were spreading in such a small countryside"

"Oh. Absolutely, the protection of 'ecclesiastical' did not seem to have reached such a border"

"It was like, you were a family member of a cult who appeared in the scriptures. As the chief priest said, it is good to change the weapons of the regiment so that they can counteract the skeleton"

"Exactly because with a sword, it's hard to deal with a bone soldier. I was right to turn it into a hammer, too."

To the words of the vice president, Andre nods.

This time, the opponent who gave Andre and the others information is a heavy town of 'ecclesiastical', which exists far above the clouds from Andre, who is only the head of the patrol corps.

Archpope present at the top and ten chief priests located beneath him. That's the upper ecclesiastical level. And it is the young woman who gave me information about cults this time that has one such ten chief priests, Jennifer Langley.

You think it is the appearance that is the glossy beautiful woman, but the presence that is wholeheartedly trusted by the Archpope?

"According to the chief priest, the cult is spreading throughout Fleetberg territory."

"Unforgivable"

"Yeah. As a workforce, you think someone is offering soldiers for the skeleton? Damn, dirty. Using relatives of cults, etc."

You're absolutely right.

To the words of the deputy director, Andre also puts his face up.

The Biblical scriptures describe the cult - its appearance is depicted in the figure of bones with no flesh.

The only God in the 'Sacred Church' gave divine punishment to the beloved skeleton soldiers of the cult who came out boiling more than the earth - stories like that are also described in the Scriptures. And even from Andre, an ardent 'ecclesiastical' follower, the skeletal soldiers present in the village of Bath only seemed to be relatives of the cult.

And if the opponent is a cult, this' ecclesiastical 'patrol will never forgive him.

"First of all, do you mind if I impose a divine punishment on this Fleetberg territory, Captain"

"Uhm. Perhaps the peasants were only instigated by cults. Our divine punishment purifies their souls. In the next raw, you'll be a devout saint."

"Yeah. And perhaps the root cause of the spread of cults in the land is the Earl of Fleetberg. We must also punish him with divine punishment."

"Whatever. We shall be the hammers of God for that"

What they are doing is salvation.

The earth, instigated by the cults and spread by cults, needs to be purified. It is for this reason that we lay down divine punishments and purify the souls of those whose hearts have been ruled by cults. And in the land where cults spread, they set a holy fire, and turn it into a clean land.

Therefore the house of the wicked shall be destroyed, and the field of the wicked shall be set on fire. And the peasants, instigated by the wicked, perish. That's what they do.

"As the executor of divine punishment, be sure to rest in peace in this land"

"Uhm."

"As soon as that is done, let us purify the Earl of Fleetberg"

"Perhaps there is also a cult in the city of Fulcus"

"Yeah. If it's just the whole city, we'll have to have more soldiers. Because whoever is disturbed by the cult can't miss one."

"Um. It's all for God's sake"

Oh, and the deputy director bows his head to Andre.

But with that, there was a scream behind the patrol - one of the soldiers who was preparing for the camp.

"Wow!?

"Mmmm......!?

Andre bears the hammer on his own back - grabbing the pattern and glancing at the screamer.

The book of the night falls, and its sight is uncertain. But eyes that were also accustomed to dark vision reflected something that existed beyond it.

It is the soldiers of the patrol group that burns the bonfire and the figure of the group floating beyond it.

"You can say whatever you want."

At the head is a young man in black.

The jacket (robe), which hides the lines of the body, would probably be an outfit as a magician. Both the color of the hair and the color of the eyes are black as well, but the skin is white by the time it is pathological.

Such a man had shining eyes on the bonfire, staring at this one.

"Who is it!

"He's the one you guys want to meet. You guys are going to give me a divine punishment and a dowry. Sons of bitches from 'Ecclesiastes'"

"-!"

Such a young man - who was behind it.

A man with earthy skin, each with a spear or a long sword. Further behind it are numerous skeleton soldiers.

In its appearance, in its beauty, in its anomaly.

Understood.

This is the man who spread his cult throughout the land - Count Fleetberg.

"You... Count Fleetberg!

"That's right. Gin Fleetberg. I am the lord of this land."

"All armies, prepare for battle! Here comes the evil leader!

"There's something I want you guys to hear, say and do"

Man - Jin says that in a calm voice.

The army that exists behind it will exceed a hundred just by looking. There are far more 'ecclesiastical' patrols than there are only twenty-five combined in all armies.

But they're cult. And it's impossible to deal with the wicked and the followers of 'Ecclesiastes' run away.

"First, I want to hear it. Why did you kill all the villages of Bath?"

"For it is our duty to inflict divine punishment on the spreading villages of the wicked!

"They don't believe in cults or anything. They were just farming with the skeletons I gave them."

"Using a cult's family is a testament above all else to believing in cults! Then it is only natural for us to inflict divine punishment!

Andre answers that without retreating.

They are a 'ecclesiastical' patrol. I am proud of my duties.

Because it is their mission to wipe out cults from this land.

"Next, I have something to say"

"Say it! You wicked bastards!

"If you believe in your gods, what happens? Will you plow the farmland? Will you open the wasteland? Will you harvest the crop?"

"Ha!? Such a thing, it would be a peasant job!

I don't know what that means, and that's what Andre returns to Jin for his words.

It is only natural that the people believe in 'ecclesiastical'. 'Ecclesiastes' is the rightful teaching in this land, but therefore.

And just because you believed in 'ecclesiastical' doesn't make that possible, such as God getting his hands on the job.

"Skeleton will plow the farmland for me. It opens up the wasteland. It harvests crops. It helps the villagers. So, what do you gods do for me?"

"Something like that..."

"Then we're wicked. No... you're the ones who believe in a god that doesn't even help shit."

"-!"

Soldiers open their eyes at once to such Jin's words.

They are devout followers of the 'Sacred Church'. And those who believe that the only God of the 'Sacred Church' is the supreme.

That's how they think everything but 'ecclesiastical' is cult.

I was told that I was the only one who called God 'a god that didn't even help shit'.

It was said that it was the 'ecclesiastical' practised that was the cult.

"You!!

"Oh, for the last time, I'd like you to."

That's what Jin said.

Then I uttered the words of guidance.

"Die."

With those words of gin.

The earthy armies simultaneously said, "Wow!!," he growled.
