Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~
133 Knights Distortion
With the completion of training in mock combat only, it was assumed that the afternoon would bring them back to their respective duties.
But rather than the Knights appeared who did not make it good... it entered the ears of the captains of the seven squadrons, excluding the Maiden of War, who planned to train in the afternoon with the Maiden of War Saints, and put in a protest against Mr. Katrine.
I decided to work for Lionel and the others without getting involved.
"Good luck, everyone. How'd it go?
The first person to answer my query was Lionel with a tough face.
"I didn't know it was a terrible force so far... if I had attacked it when I was an empire general... this would have been the territory of the Irmasian Empire. The salvation now is that the adventurers and the people of the surrounding countries created a situation in which Lucier-like policies, healers' tariff revisions, created a situation in which they could not be attacked either by putting their shoulders in the Holy Shroud Accord."
Apparently I didn't know the Empire was going to resent me again.
I will never go to the Empire again.
If I go, they're going to totally assassinate me or something.
I swore so firmly to my heart.
"I do think so, too. If it was a group of people like Luciel, I would have been glad that Lionel didn't advance the attack, but without the secret weapon, the Holy City would fall and perish."
The analytical skills of the two are very high.
"I think the Yenis cleric knights were stronger than the knights here"
That's what Keffin said.
And Lionel spoke of measures to improve.
"The face of the Knights is Holy Attribute Magic... You can't win a battle without being able to use magic such as the area barrier and middle heel used by Master Luciel, or the healer joins to cover you"
Lionel, who affirmed so, looked up at the sky with a distant eye.
Each squad would slip into the dining room in order, and we declared that we would eat slowly at the end. Then, the faces of the Knights, who lost miserably in the mock battle, began to ask the Lionels for their opinion.
Though some people seemed to face ethnic supremacy, they also treated Ketty and Keffin in a respectful manner and were not discriminated against as they had thought.
In the end, until the dining room was empty, I told the knights I had hoped to put an area barrier on them and ask them to quickly make their own effort to take into account the opinions of Lionel and the others as they tried the effect.
However, we avoided explaining the healer's power leveling on this occasion.
Because I thought that if I imagined that the healers would be forced into battlefield by boulders, it would likely create a tragic situation.
If magic becomes unusable at times and you are to fight alone, if you cannot defeat even a weak demon, then that healer's life will end there.
I can't decide if it's the right thing to do to put the healers at that risk.
Wouldn't a healer who could use healing magic for an adventurer party work it out? I think so, but since there is also an opening in the rise in status, unlike games, etc., as we move on to the second half, even at a good beginning, if there are no members we can follow, we will pack them.
It made me realize once again that that was the reality of this world.
After a while, Mr. Catherine waited for us to head to the dining room for lunch.
And I heard that the afternoon training was rescheduled to be definitely switched to a general exercise, not a mock fight with the Battle Maiden Saints.
"That's why I'd like you to confirm the general exercise from above?
It wasn't me that Mr. Katrine told me, it was Lionel. But Lionel's gaze is on me.
"Are you saying you want advice from watching the exercise?
I decided to ask Mr. Catherine straight away without clouding her.
Once upon a time, when I was at church headquarters, there were only three general exercises. I can't believe you're doing that at this time. You want Lionel to see it and give you advice.
I don't know what it's like to be young enough to climb up to the Knights.
You will naturally want to get advice from someone who is older and more commanding than you when you are lost, and who is also strong personally.
"There are conditions. First we will not participate in this exercise and we will take a tour from above. Lionel and the others told me what I noticed, and I'll give it to you later."
"... ok. Thank you very much."
Mr. Katrine left the dining room refreshed after bowing her head.
Where Mr. Catherine disappeared completely from the dining room, Lionel opened his mouth.
"Are you glad you didn't take part in the exercise?
"I don't know why, but I think Mr. Catherine lacks confidence. When Lionel conducts the exercise here, or Ketty or Keffin joins the exercise, it's possible that Mr. Katrine will be retiring."
I've never seen such an indulgent Katrine.
I felt different asking around what had happened in the course of the year, and I was driven by the mood I wanted to worry about with my head.
"... I don't think it's that far. But it might be the right thing to do if you're looking for someone in command."
"What do you mean?
"As commander, I grasp the whole thing. However, putting each team together requires results and strong charisma... is that it?
"As Keffin can see inside..." Keffin's ability to collect information is Keffin's XVIII. "
"... you mean they haven't put the whole Knights together?
It seemed to be the answer derived from the analysis rather than the beast man's inquiry, and I decided to listen to the details, admiring these two intelligence abilities.
"For example, when Lord Lionel was leading the Imperial Army as a general, he gave instructions to each unit, and if he was disadvantaged, he would have served as his own lord."
Lionel, who thrusts with a spear right away, scratches his bow and magic and blows anything that approaches him.
I could easily imagine such a sight.
"I feel the same way about Master Luciel that I don't think I'm going to let a single soldier die, and no, I feel stronger than I do. Besides, if you have a small number of commands, you can do it without a problem, so depending on your training, you can do a large number of commands."
"You think I'm gonna take command of the Knights of the Church?
As I expected when I asked the three of them so... words came back that weren't.
"If you don't turn down the flow and take command, you will."
"Luciel is often already caught up in something when he has to give the answer alone."
"When I chose to visit the general exercise earlier, I honestly thought I had grown up"
My ratings were low.
"... I don't want to be tied up here and I want to head to Melatoni soon"
"Then you should leave here after dinner today."
I also know it takes a decision like Lionel's.
Still, that's not my decision.
"... thanks for the advice. I just want to say thank you to Rosa, and I think it's risky to move immediately. So I decide to head to Melatoni in a week. Luckily, the horses haven't gotten out of the stables of the Hidden yet, so they'll be fine."
"... that's where I'm going. Luciel is a strange, insolent man."
"That would be the good thing about Luciel."
"We are Luciel's servants, so we will be with you."
Ketty smiled bitterly, and Keffin affirmed, while Lionel tightened.
We talked about it and then went back to the Grand Training Ground and decided to watch the General Exercise from a seat overlooking the Grand Training Ground that Mr. Catherine used to guide us to.
Mr. Katrine led the clergyman by separating the clergyman from the holy knight, and Mr. Lumina, the youngest of each squad, commanded the holy knight and clashed.
Four squads at a time, but the cleric knights needed twice as many men as they did warriorly.
An attack began between the Knights of the Clergy, led by Mr. Katrine, who held a semi-circular formation like a fan, and the Knights of the Holy Order, led by Mr. Lumina, who held a formation more like the letter V at a sharp angle than that.
"What do you think?
"Ordinarily, cleric knights are advantageous, but individual abilities are higher for saint knights, so it seems that later there will be a difference in command"
"I think so too...... And one thing I found out. This exercise seems to be based on Luciel's healing magic. It was easy to understand because it was a sudden exercise."
I felt drawn back to reality in Ketty's words following Lionel.
"I'm sorry, but maybe the Saints will win. There's so much difference in power."
"Well, still, it's the cleric knights led by Mr. Katrine... or they'll end up with a draw"
When I squeal like that, the three look surprised and then stare at me strangely.
"How do you know that?
"There's one thing Mr. Lumina admires about Mr. Katrine, and if Mr. Katrine loses, it's one thing that involves the morale of the Knights, and I don't feel hegemonic about the Saints"
The Knights had been distorted.
"Looks like you're seeing it right"
"Luciel will be able to command as many troops as he can."
"You knew all three of us, didn't you? I guess I felt that way because I saw it from the top, and it would look different at the crime scene again."
"It depends on what you're going through."
I say that with a smile on Lionel's face, but I couldn't imagine that.
As we thought, the general exercise between the Clergy Knights and the Holy Knights closed with a victory by the Clergy Knights.
