Chapter 365. Dark Church subjugation battle (1)
“Oh, Arell? You’re the first to wake up…. Is that a big deal? Is the world going to end tomorrow?”
Pena, who had woken up early in the morning, blinked her soft eyes and made a joke as if surprised to see me who was up first.
It’s definitely not too early to wake up.
it’s not me
Congratulations. You saw me waking up first. I got to see a really rare figure.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the bedside table, I answered the joke leisurely while reviewing a letter that had arrived from the morning.
“Well, Pena, you might not be wrong. We never know when a large boulder will pass over our heads.”
The fact that I wake up so early means that the world is so confused.
That’s right.
It’s actually confusing.
I gently motioned to Pena, who was about to get up, to stay still.
“It’s not that urgent.”
“…What’s going on?”
“That the allied forces just sent out to catch the warlock? Just to let you know.”
“I think it’s an urgent report…?”
is it?
Well, it’s me, leisurely, ‘I see,’ and I look through it like I’m reading a newspaper, but by now other nobles must be quite nervous after hearing this.
Finally, news came that the army convened by the kingdom had been dispatched in earnest to subdue the Dark Church.
“Allies. In other words, it is a war…”
Upon hearing the news, Pena sighed in regret.
“Why does everyone like war so much?”
I mean…..
It must be a pity to hear that the war with fire and the Holy Kingdom has been over for some time and bloody news is about to happen again.
“I can’t help it. I said I wouldn’t do anything with words, but that alone doesn’t mean anything.”
If she really didn’t want to stir up a dispute, the woman who was supposed to be the religious leader should have taken a different attitude.
You should have shown sincerity by making a proper agreement and reflecting on the past.
If you just don’t touch me, I’ll watch you.
What an arrogant attitude is this?
Of course, such an argument cannot be accepted.
In that way, which country will accept it straight away?
Rather, the kings of each country regarded the leader’s actions as a threat.
“The very existence of that stone is tantamount to a declaration of war. You put something like that over your head, and who cares about that?”
Probably by now, the units organized in each country would have been dispatched as well.
After joining, they will try to subdue them quickly.
I still don’t know what the leader’s intentions were, but if I really didn’t want to fight, I shouldn’t have acted this way.
Common sense floats over your head, but is there any country that can ignore it?
There is another reason why you can’t ignore it even if you try to ignore it.
It is because public opinion of anxiety has been formed.
When the fortress of the Dark Church first appeared, the merchants were particularly depressed because consumption decreased and public opinion of anxiety was maximized.
Consumption could not be maintained, given that there might be a disaster caused by the black magician.
And the damage caused by this was the bitter taste of the economy as a whole, including our Arnil Trading Company and each country and trading company.
Especially for most of us, eating, enjoying, and drinking is the main means of business.
When this happened, sales were bound to drop.
That annoys me a little too.
The head of the church said that he would not do any damage if he did not touch it, but that is nothing more than ignorant nonsense.
Such a bomb-like existence would disturb the economic situation of each kingdom even if it was still.
Damage doesn’t always come from fighting.
“Still, surprisingly, the uneasy voice quickly subsided, didn’t it?”
But that doesn’t go on forever.
As Pena said, the consumption that fell to the worst was a little, but it rose again.
“Hmm… I guess I’m used to it.”
“Nonsense! Are you used to floating around like that?”
Pena shook her head as if she didn’t understand.
“It’s true that I’m anxious, but nothing in particular has happened, right? The warlocks are still not coming down from the aerial fortress.”
Even if a war breaks out tomorrow, you have to make a living today.
If you prioritize making a living one by one, you will eventually adapt and live your life.
The first time the bomb explodes over your head, you’ll cry, but if it goes on for days and days, it becomes dull.
Of course, that’s not a good thing.
Even if you get used to it, the crisis itself doesn’t go away.
And, of course, there are negative effects as well.
“Even if it recovers, sales from tourism and entertainment are still cut in half. It’s annoying for us.”
It hasn’t been long since the resort opened, so what is this?!
In my mind, I want to immediately grab that woman by the collar and pin her upside down from the stratosphere to the ground.
I’m putting up with not going to catch you by the collar right now because I don’t want to spread damage around me.
If I was like the old me, I would have fought with the feeling that you would die and I would die, regardless of whether one or two countries would disappear.
But now I’m not angry.
You have to be in the right grade to get angry or not.
Heh heh heh heh heh. just laugh it off
In that respect, I have become very polite.
Knowing how to be self-respecting like this made me a real person.
Well, actually, it’s annoying, so I’m trying to pass it on.
Yes, it is really annoying and annoying.
“Let us wait for good news while leaving world peace to those who want to fight for it.”
I put down my papers and crawled back into bed.
Seeing me crawling back into bed, Pena pushed me aside as if it was absurd.
“Is the sun rising already?”
“Because the sun is already rising.”
When the sun rises, I go to bed. What do you mean hey!
I thought about it while ignoring the troublesome external circumstances for a while and taking refuge in the warmth of the bed.
‘Forming an allied force to subdue… I wonder if that will work.’
….Will it really work out with that?
I didn’t think it would go so optimistic this time around.
We’ll see for now, but don’t expect too much.
Because the opponent is not too good.
Maybe it’s hard for them to handle.
So try your best first.
I’ll help you later if you’re motivated.
Thinking so, I crawled into bed and pulled the blanket over myself.
A system of cooperation between countries was quickly established.
It was decided that the kingdoms would immediately send an army to each other.
so-called Continental Allies.
The public black magicians of the continent…
and announced a massive alliance to completely subdue their leader, the leader.
The magic towers of each country also joined hands with each other and decided to participate in the war.
They joined hands, revealing their will to spare no assistance to fight the black magician.
Receiving the expectations of the people, the armies of each kingdom blew the trumpets announcing the battle.
The number of allied forces gathered by selecting only the elite of each kingdom reached a whopping 500,000.
Of course, there is no way that the Dark Church is unaware of this fact.
Even though all the warlocks were withdrawn from the ground, there was a way to get a glimpse of the minimum trend.
There’s no way he wouldn’t notice a large army moving there.
Upon receiving the report from the black magicians in charge of reconnaissance, the minor priestess reported the results to the principal.
“Chief… It seems that they are rejecting your invitation.”
“The punitive force is moving?”
The priest asked while sitting quietly on the throne.
“Yes, the armies of each kingdom are gathering and advancing.”
“Somehow they don’t seem to understand what you mean.”
“How foolish is this? How sorry the headmaster has been for this ephemeral world since the last thousand years and what kind of meaning he has had
.
The instructor, who had been silent, warned him quietly, as if telling him to shut up.
You’re out of your mind, so shut up.
Although it’s not anger, just that alone gives a huge energy to this place.
“….sorry.”
So Gyoju bowed her head.
“But we cannot sit still. Their armies will be coming here soon.”
“I know.”
“Then…
“Immediately instruct all church members to prepare for a response.”
The headmaster has finally made a decision.
to resist against the armies of all nations.
“However, I forbid you from attacking them first. War begins as soon as they attack.”
“All right.”
It is still a guideline from the passive leader, but the minor leader did not show any dissatisfaction.
Anyway, it didn’t matter if I gave in to the preemptive attack thanks to the immortality mysticism bestowed by the religious master.
Above all, even though the black magicians couldn’t stand it, there were minor priests and priests here.
Can an army of ignorant people really stand up to them?
The young schoolmaster did not regard them as an obstacle at all.
The religious leader also maintained an attitude of not being interested in the military.
She furrowed her eyebrows as if there was one thing that bothered her.
“one thing.”
” yes?”
“Are the powers of the humans of this era the same as those of Ernesia’s descendants back then?”
She, who showed an attitude of indifference to other things, was concerned about that.
“A descendant of Ernesia… Are you referring to that Arele Ernesia?”
“answer. Is everyone like him? If so, shouldn’t the response guidelines be changed?”
Rarely did she take a guarded attitude.
As soon as she opened her eyes at that time, she too was wary of seeing the strength of his lightly confrontation.
Being a descendant of the Ernesian royal family must also play a part.
“Then I might have to step in.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
In response to her concerns, the So Gyoju asserted that it was okay.
“He is one of the most unusual cases on the continent. Most human beings have not progressed that much compared to the time when you were active.”
“….is that so?”
For some reason, when he heard that, the priest subtly twisted the corner of his mouth.
I feel dissatisfied even after hearing the answer.
“That’s it. I’ll leave the response up to you, the young master.”
“I will take your order.”
“…will be ready soon. After that, if you get back only what was stolen in the past, the ritual will be complete. Just hold on until then.”
“All right.”
The Sogyoji held up the will of the gyojang-UI with etiquette.
“Please spread your will. I hope that your will will come true, both as the small school leader and as a human being who understands your will.”
The head of the church disappeared without answering his loyal words.
It’s probably getting ready to make your wish come true.
Anything else would be fine for her now.
Subjugation forces from each country were nothing but trivial noise to her.
The warning sent to the kings of each country in the first place was also given after the advice of the young master.
I wasn’t really interested.
The same goes for the small school owner himself.
Although she is the head of the church, she doesn’t even pay attention to the church itself.
However, despite her indifferent attitude, the young master did not care at all.
Even something so trivial doesn’t matter.
“I hope it will come true.”
He muttered quietly, lowering his head.
“For all of ‘us’ as well.”
