The Peerless Kobold (WN)

"Captain Elias, we've captured you! It's black rain!!

A subordinate who shares his vision with the White Owl of the Guardian Beast, the user demon served by the priests of the diocesan church and the diocesan knights, speaks up.

Earlier, the knights were flying guardian beasts dancing in the night sky in that direction to confirm the status quo, as a corner of the king's sky shone brightly and a roar sounded.

"Heh, the situation is heh! What do you think!!

"I'm coming from the direction of the Royal Academy of Magic to this neighborhood!!

A skinny female knight looks up at the sky, wrapped around a coat with a cross engraving on pure white and deep blue hair.

"... there."

Her far-sighted magically fortified eyes confirmed the white owl that stood out in the night sky. The white guardian beast tracks Alvesta from the sky to indicate its position.

"Do you want to set it up? Lord Captain..."

"Of course."

The Secret Service of the Cathedral Knights exists only to defeat Alvesta, a resentment. If so, the inquiry of Deputy Chief Cedric seems hilarious... but the crusading troops of the past have been sickened to death, and from here on out is the place of death for them.

But there is no one here who hesitates in Elias' words.

"... I'm ready"

"We've had enough tragedies, we have to stop here."

"I've lived for this day since I lost my family then... even if they tell me not to go"

Yes, most knights here are diocesans from Ruarad, the city of the Wardelian Empire, who set the stage for tragedy about 20 years ago, and have lost someone dear to a bleeding disease. Elias, who leads them, also lost his parents to hemorrhage when he was 4, and is one of those protected in an orphanage in the Cathedral Church.

Around the city, where haemorrhagic diseases stemming from Alvesta have wielded ferocity, many people have died without merit of healing magic or prayer, and the authority of the diocesan Church has been lost and the hearts and minds of many believers have left.

Posthumous support by the Church was also thorough in order to connect and stop it. As a result, those of high faith who hated the black rain grew up in the area, and several have volunteered for the Secret Service.

Still, on her way to her death, she checked again.

Even if anyone falls off here, she won't blame it.

"... I understand your thoughts, let's come."

When Elias meditated and quickly cut the cross in front of his chest, the other knights took a similar trick. Scratched in their faces resides the determination to push fear away.

"We'll split the troops into groups of four! Keep your distance from each other and be careful not to make everyone inactive with a single blood smoke!!

"Just because you're too far away to work together, keep that in mind"

"" "Ha!

Compose four four-man detachments that were pre-arranged by the Cathedral Knights in accordance with Elias' instructions and Cedric's advice.

"I'll set you up with a half siege!! Roomiers and Cedrics to the left and right, me and Raymond to the front! Spread out!!

"" "Respond!!

Squads Elias and Raymond approach the target in a linear fashion as they sew down the alley for the white owl floating in the night sky, and Squads Roomia and Cedric follow the alley on either side of it.

Eventually, several corners bent ahead, and the sight of Bowknight Elias captured a white Phantom in black.

"Heh, look at the enemy. Special!!

Preceding her, she pokes one knee as she slips in, and in a flowing motion sets up an arrow with a long bow on her left hand and removed from the arrow barrel. A bow knight had set his aim in an equally knee-poking position next to it.

"Wear it, holy arrow!!

"Aim and shoot!!

Huh. Huh.

The bow knights of the Elias squad emit arrows of light with enchantments of holy attributes.

It cleaves the darkness at night and flies to the white masked Phantom.

"... ahhh"

But the masked Phantom leaps diagonally and arrows, kicking the approaching wall in front of him and returning himself near the center of the street again, increasing the speed and packing the distance.

"Huh, fake lino miracle de, people-confused wass...... con man domme"

"Second shot, let's go!!

Standing behind the single-kneed Elias, Raymond squad targets and shoots arrows of light... through the head of Alvesta, who has lowered his posture as he crawls through the ground.

"M., wasted nakoto......"

"... blow it up, saintly scattered!!

Against the masked Phantom, who is no longer close to a distance of a few meters, Elias protrudes his left palm and shoots out a small light bullet.

"Duh! Hooray row Seyo, Saint Naru shield!!

The white masked Phantom develops a holy shield with his hands in front of him against a light bullet with concentrated magic with holy attributes. Even though the emitted light bullets blasted and scattered a ray of light in his immediate wake, they were inhibited by the Holy Shield of Light.

... priests above the Priest Cardinal are thin (...) and chi (...) with (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) to the fact that the identity of the Phantom who spreads the disease is formerly a priest.That is why we wish to crusade the traitors with our own hands at all costs, but the fact was kept secret.

Because if rumors spread poorly, the authority of the Cathedral Church will fall by the time it is irrecoverable. However, as a minimum matter of necessity, only information is disclosed to them that resentful enemies deal with priestly equivalent sacred attribute magic.

"That's not supposed to happen!

Though the white, shining beard cannot burn the alvester, it stops his legs while he brightens his surroundings.

"I'll nail you! Saint Scatter!!

"Guh!"

That was where the alleys intersect as she aimed, with Cedric and Roomia squads distancing and deploying to the left and right.

"Shh, now. Shoot!!

Huh. Huh.

Under Cedric's hanging voice, a separate moving squad that was circling left and right sets up a long bow from across the alley to release an arrow.

"Ahhh!"

In response to the surprise, the masked Phantom concealed his weakness by covering his face with his left hand and forming a blood shield. All eight arrows were aimed at an easily targeted torso...

"Gww."

As it turns out, it all hits but doesn't lead to fatal injuries.

And the lack of information about them determined the fate of the Cathedral Knights...
