Chapter 461: The Temple

The church was also extravagant, but it is understandable at first glance that it is an architecture that goes beyond it lightly.

"Apparently, Fjorde has a strong connection with the clergy."

"Looks like... Nil." When that happens, it's going to be a lot of trouble, but do you know what specific problems will arise? "

"That's right..."

To summarize what Nil told me...

Temples and churches, especially temples, are buildings for worshipping gods, so if you raid them, it will be recognized as an act of blasphemy against gods.In other words, for the opponent, it is a jihad to protect the dignity of God.

For the opponent, being a jihad means that justice is ours!So we become complete villains.

In other words, when you try to attack the temple, you can't use any of the hands that you did in the church.

The opponent will be given the right to kill us.

Otherwise, the fact that we attacked the temple means that the story will spread from city to city and from village to village.In other words... even the clergy will have things to do.

Even though there are many enemies, if they join the church, the journey will not be a fuss.

Naturally, in cities and villages with many faithful people, they will not be able to use facilities or stay overnight, but on the contrary, there is a risk of being evicted from the city or even of being targeted for the worst.

And finally.....

What I believe in in this city is Freuilstore.In other words, being the same god as the god worshipped by the demon tribe is the biggest problem.

Because the Holy Knights worship another god, it has nothing to do with this issue, and it has nothing to do with being hostile in the first place.But it's the demons we're trying to help.Those who have a strong belief in Freudstore.

The story that we attacked the temple was definitely delivered to the demon world by the black dog, and the entire demon race became an enemy, so it was no longer about helping.It was completely clogged.

"I see... if that's what you're after, then Fjorde is in the best shelter."

“With enemies, it's not an easy place to reach.”

I wonder if it's too late to blow up the temple after all?

“That's the danger.

If you only killed the fjorde inside, you may be able to make excuses, but if you blow up the temple, there is no excuse. ”

But you don't know who did it, do you?

"I don't think there are many people blowing up that size of temple other than your mistress."You will be found out indirectly.

Besides, who did it is not a problem at this time. "

"As long as the fact that the temple has blown up means that we can beat it anyway."

Yes.

Isn't it true that Fjorde blew it up on his own and blamed us?

"I can't say it's definitely not there, but I don't think so.

If Fjorde is inside the temple, the temple itself serves as a strong defensive wall, so he won't try to break it himself.

Besides, it will be difficult for the city people to make their own movie because they see whether or not we are actually launching an attack. ”

Not only Fjorde, but even if the black dogs talk to the demons, it will be very different if there are no witnesses.

They attacked the temple even though we weren't planning an attack!Even if you make a fuss, you'll soon find out that you're lying.

So if we don't put our hands on the temple, we won't have to worry about spreading rumors… right?

Yes.

Regarding the raid on the church, it was obvious that it was not aimed at the church because everyone saw Amu shooting from the bell tower.Therefore, I don't think the opponent is willing to take the church raid as a starting point.

Above all, there are residents and soldiers who saw me and my mistress quitting the clergy.You won't be able to spread bad rumors.

However, if there is no one in that size temple who would attack us first, like Amu, we will be tailored to become villains. ”

That said, if Fjorde is inside, we'll have to do something about it, right?

But I can't do anything about it... it's a blockage.

It's a lot of bad tactics… maybe it's a bandit…

"This is not a bandit, but a method of warfare that the nobles seem to think about."Probably a method of warfare around fjords and black dogs. ”

"He's always desperate to crush us."

"It's hard to be in the position of being targeted... so what do you do?"If you can't do anything, there's not much you can do. "

"...... I'll leave you alone."

"Huh?! Leave me alone?!"

Surprised, his eyes widened.

I can't do it right now, so there's no need to force my hand, right?

But, but, Heine and Pilte are aiming for this temple, right?!

"Nhh..."

I know what Sura-Tan wants to say, but I don't know what to do.

Huh?! Isn't that right?!

“If I had known that there was a fjorde in this temple, Heine and Pilte wouldn't have had to move here in a hurry.I can't help it anyway. "

"... yes, when I was told..."

As demons, Heine and Pilate know more about what the attack on the temple means than Nil.If it turns out you're in the temple, you know you can't help it.

If you get that information, you don't have to hurry.

Besides, Heine and Pilte seem to be further north from the temple, and have barely moved since before.

"If Heine and Pilate are in the temple, it is better to think that if they are still north of here, they have moved on to another matter."

That's why I'm leaving you alone now. First of all, it is a priority to grasp Heine's and Pilte's thoughts. "

"Y-yeah, that's right. I got it."

Bypassing the temple, we head further north.

However, twin slimes point to the north, whether you move on or on.

Eventually, after traveling quite far north, I realized that the place where Heine and the others would be was near the north gate.By that time, the sun was setting and the sky was changing from blue to red to blue.

It looks like there are almost no residents around here.

You evacuated because you had such a big temple?

"That's true... but it's not my fault that there are so many soldiers instead, is it?"

"It's not my fault." Definitely a lot. ”

There were a lot of soldiers around the temple, but there were also many soldiers near the north gate.

"Why are soldiers gathering here?"

"... maybe that's why Heine and Pilate moved."

"I wonder if Fjorde is trying to escape...?"

…………………

With all these soldiers, I don't think Fjorde will be able to escape.You think it's safer to retreat to the temple than to run away poorly and get away from the soldiers.

But then I couldn't explain why the soldiers were gathered at the north gate.I'm sure there's some other reason to gather at the North Gate.....

"When Heine and Pilte dare to move, they come to the north gate, you're going to do something...?"If you don't know what to do, maybe you should rush to join us? ”

"It's the mountains that I want to do that, but there are too many soldiers from here on out."Heine and Pilte may have advanced because they were good at secrecy, but we found them suddenly and it became a commotion. "

Well, I'll do it then.

Zozozozozozozo!

When we were discussing what to do, something like a pitch-black plant crawled up the far north gate.

"That's..."

Heine and Pilte's... dark rose ivy!

Among the vampire magic, the magic used to stop the rose is stretched and stung by its thorns, and it is a magic that receives the given poison.

I heard that there are many media required to use magic, and it is installation type magic, and it takes a long time to use it, so it is difficult to use.Put it in the north gate...?

I... sealed the north gate...?

Dark Rose Evie covers the surface to keep the north gate from opening.

"What do you mean...?"

……………………

The three of us will spin our heads full.

As Sura Tan said, Fjorde was trying to escape and sealed the north gate to stop it...?

I can't say that the possibilities are zero, but it would be much more efficient to target Fjorde himself than to do the big thing of sealing off the north gate.

There will be players and hands around Fjorde, and they won't be able to deal with it, so it's unlikely that they've blocked the North Gate, but if there are players, it's not difficult to break the Dark Rose Evie.

I knew it was a very sturdy weapon, but it wasn't strong enough to stop the player from slashing.In other words, it takes a lot of effort, but the stopping effect is rather weak.You only have a few seconds to make money before the player breaks it.It is not two people who devote their labor to such a thing.

This is not to prevent Fjorde or Rox from escaping.

If we're not trying to prevent them from escaping, there's only one reason to seal the gate.

"Did you deploy it to prevent something from coming in?"

We were in the city, and we saw Dark Rose Evie on the inside of the gate, and we thought it was to stop us from getting out, but if we were to prevent the gate from opening and closing, we would be unfolding magic on both sides.

The soldiers gathered at the north gate are convinced if they think it's a greeting for something that's coming in.

"I see! That's it!" You're not trying to get out, you're trying to stop me from coming in!

... nh? Huh? But who? "

It is easy to guess that this city is now a battle zone because the gate is closed and the southern gate is destroyed.If he dares to enter such a city and is accompanied by soldiers...

Hunter's Lalabah… Reinforcements from someone…

"Eh?!"

Some of the players already in the city are dying, and things are changing.From the overwhelmingly unfavorable situation, the battlefield was moving to a certain extent.

If things go on like this, we may be able to reach Fjorde and Rox.

It is pulled back all at once with this one move.No, it's worse than the first. It's worse.

But Hunters Lalabah doesn't interfere with each other!

“That's normal time, isn't it?If we are organized as a distinct organization, Hunters Larrabee, we should be able to help each other in the event of an emergency. ”

"Oh no..."

"The situation is the worst... No, thanks to Heine and Pilte, the worst can be avoided..."

Due to the sealing of the gate, no outside reinforcements are coming in at this stage.

"Heine and Pilte, who got reinforcements from outside, decided that they didn't have time and moved to seal the gate."

"I don't know how long it will hold, even if I keep the north gate under control, even if I'm turned around by the east and west gates."It is only a first aid.

If we go around to the south gate that we destroyed...

The city of Janoya is quite large, so it takes a long time to go around from the north gate to the south gate.But if you get caught, you're completely free to go in and out of the city.

"I don't know how many reinforcements there are, but if we get into the city now, it will be a terrible thing not only for us, but for the city itself.

The other person doesn't care about the city or the residents... "

The Lord is the one who has the lords… but not the lords.

"How many lords in this world understand that from the bottom of their hearts..."

"... at least, there is no such lord in this city."

I'm not going to replace the lord, but if I have the power to help all the inhabitants, I should exercise it. "

I turn my attention to the sigil engraved on my left arm.

Holy Soul Magic, Earthwall.

It's a magic that can create hard, jagged earth walls over long distances.That said, it is impossible to cover this enormous city of Janoya at such a distance.

The walls are strong, but they can be destroyed, and we can only buy some time, but they shouldn't come in from the outside anytime soon.

This sacred soul magic is a magic that is used with the help of a dirt spirit called Kalikanjaros.

Kalikanjaros is a spirit that looks like a soil-colored goblin. It is about the size of a human child, with a tall, curved ear and a large, pointed appearance.Although the appearance is said to be ugly in human sensibilities, the personality is an insidious, quiet and very gentle, not very talkative spirit.Incidentally, there is of course no foul smell specific to goblins, and it smells of pleasant soil when approaching.

It's best to build walls that cover the entire city, but the magic of Kalikanjaros can't create walls that wide and long.

About a quarter of the outer circumference was made... and so on.Still, it's good enough, but it's not enough to stop the enemy from progressing.

If you use the Holy Soul Magic twice, you can enclose half a circle, but if there are too many reinforcements from outside, the Holy Soul Magic will come.And that's extremely likely.

Even if it encircles half a circle, I can't help but expect a lot of time to be bought by the wall.The goal is only to buy time first, so there's no problem just building a wall that can do that.

I feel like I'm having a hard time with my opponent during surgery, and I don't like it anyway... but I can't sacrifice the residents.

Keeeeeee......

Tinnitus activates magic.

The range is the outer perimeter of the city. Imagine it as close to the outer wall as possible.

Zuga ga ga ga ga ga ga!

About a quarter of the north gate is covered by a wall of the earth wall that is higher than the outer wall.

The earthwall walls are about three meters higher than the exterior walls, and the top is pointed like a sharp knife.It will be difficult to get through.

"This should make the North Gate all right."The problem is the West Gate and the East Gate... no, I think we should clean up everything inside sooner than that... "

However, I can't easily enter the temple...

"... after all, we should seal off the West Gate and the East Gate first..."

“Better than that! If we don't let the inhabitants get away soon, the city will be a battlefield when enemy reinforcements arrive!”

"That's right..."

I know I don't have time to get lost, but if I take one of them, I won't be able to turn my hands until the other.

Besides, we're still treated like villains.There's no way they're going to listen to what the residents have to say when they tell them to run.

If you think about taking the method of forcing people to escape by threatening them with force, you can take it... but if you say that just raiding the temple will greatly affect the future movement, but you threaten the residents, you won't be able to stop by any city or village.It is not at all strange that it should be treated like a wanted person.

"Let's seal off the city gates."

Where are the residents?!

"Even if we travel, I don't think the residents will understand."It would be more effective to seal the gate than to spend time there. ”

”Oh, I see... we were enemies...”

Sura clenched her fist with a regretful look on her face.

Thus, first and foremost, the current situation where the safety of the residents is considered to be the enemy is not satisfactory, but we can't do anything about this.

We're going to do what we can, but if we're responsible for what we can't do, we're not going to be able to do it.

How are Heine and Pilte doing?

"Um... looks like you're heading to the East Gate!"

"It seems that Heine and Pilate also prioritize sealing the gate."

Me and Nil are going to seal the West Gate.Rendezvous with Heine and Pilate to protect them.The residents are guided...?? "

I tried to split up, but there were signs of people nearby, so I stopped talking.

If there was anyone who could sneak past the Slimes that were using Surakutan, it was definitely a very powerful enemy.

I immediately pulled out the cherry blossom sword from my waist and turned it toward the sign.

Looking at my reaction, Sura and Nil will draw their weapons and be on the alert in the same way.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Shaking his hands heavily, he came out with an impatient man with a big scar on his cheek from his left eye.

Kevin?!

It was Kevin from Tenolt Village who came out in front of us.

"Yeah, it's me.

If you think you've finally found out, you're going to kill us all of a sudden? "

We?

"Ahh... er... I knew you were such an adventurer..."

From behind Kevin came Hanatha's pale face.I hit an uncontrolled murderous aura, so I don't know if that's what it looks like... Kevin and Hanatha recognize them as allies, so they didn't judge the Slimes as enemies... I don't care!

"Why are you here?!"

"Why, that's a terrible thing to say."I'm here to help you. "

Kevin said that and raised his mouth slightly.

Isn't it dangerous to come to a place like this?!

"Me and Hanasa will be fine."Looks like our faces aren't cracked.

While I was here, I met some soldiers, but nothing in particular. ”

The opponent has people who can smooth out the signs, and perhaps the two faces may be cracked, something terrible happened......
