To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor Chapter 355

Episode 355 Iriel Falls into a Trap

While preparations for the holy kingdom’s holy war are in full swing, Iriel is ready to leave.

Looking at Ray, who had personally sent her off to the gate, she said with a surprised expression.

“It’s a big deal to see you off.”

“Because we won’t see each other for a while until the battle starts in earnest. You should at least say goodbye.”

“Whoop whoop. Thank you even for the empty words. In reality, I’m just going to get troop support ahead of the crusade.”

As he speaks, he shrugs his shoulders.

The other day, a letter had arrived addressed to her as a saint.

To put it bluntly, the purpose is to cure the king’s disease.

If the king’s illness was safely cured, he promised to help the temple, so it was a proposal that the Holy Land needed even more than one person to accept.

“There’s still some time left before the temple, so it won’t be a problem if I go.”

To that, Iriel answered by climbing into the carriage.

“What the Holy Kingdom needs the most right now is Ray’s presence. If you leave at will, the pope won’t stay still?”

He smiled as he imagined Eclay going into a fit of rage.

“It may be a longer journey than I thought. Take care of yourself.”

“You’re the only one who’s worried about the saintess’ health, not anyone else.”

The knight commander approached Iriel as he spoke.

Slightly bow your head and speak politely.

“Saintess, all preparations are complete. However, I think we should hurry up to cross the border before the sun goes down.”

“Then let’s go straight away.”

“All right.”

After instructing the knight commander to leave, she waved to Ray.

“As you can see, I am a bit busy. I’ll give you a report on what’s to come through the mana crystal orb.”

Ray also waved at him.

“Eat anything else and don’t get an upset stomach.”

Iriel, who had a history of suffering for a while from eating the wrong grass in the elven forest, nodded earnestly.

“…I’ve been seriously burned, so be careful.”

The kingdom of Frio is a country made up of seas on three sides.

That’s why the port is developed and there are many soldiers who are good at fighting.

There were no threatening neighboring countries, so it was known as a large-scale kingdom from before.

It was King Beior who ruled the Frio kingdom, but he had been suffering from a serious illness for several months.

At first it started with a light cough, but soon my body became hot like a fireball.

After that, even with the priest’s divine magic, they couldn’t even find consciousness and fell ill, so the only place they could rely on was the Holy Kingdom.

It was also around that time that the Frio kingdom began to seek help from the saintess.

The troops of the Holy Nation, led by the saintess, prepared to camp as soon as they left the border.

By spreading out the tent and lighting a bonfire, a pretty plausible campsite was created.

Iriel made food to eat from among them.

A handful of edible plants found nearby and dried beef jerky cut into bite-sized pieces, soon made a delicious soup.

It could be said that he made full use of the herbal knowledge he had picked up while traveling with Ray.

His expression looked brighter as if he was proud of what he had done.

Come to think of it, I went through a lot while walking around with him.

It was never a pleasant thing, but when I think about it strangely, a smile is drawn on my face.

‘Maybe I had the most fun then.’

While she was reminiscing about the past, the knight commander came to visit her.

Wearing plate armor, he gave a light bow and said.

“Saintess, if things go on like this, it will take three more days to reach Frio Kingdom. Can I speed it up a little more?”

She shook her head.

“It’s still fast enough. There is no need to forcefully continue the march.”

“I feel the same way, but I am afraid that things might go wrong.”

At the words of the leader, Iriel fell into thought.

Certainly, if King Beior were to die on the way to Frio Kingdom, the atmosphere would become cold.

However, it was also a handshake to drive the soldiers and march without distinction day and night.

What can be restored with divine power is only the state of the body.

After thinking about it for a moment, she opened her mouth.

“Then let’s change the scheduled route a bit.”

“How do you mean?”

“If you go through the forest in a straight line like this, even if you go at the same speed, you can arrive a day faster than you normally would.”

“If that happens, you might encounter a group of monsters.”

Iriel calmly said to the knight commander, who had a clear expression of bewilderment.

“I have no choice but to break through.”

“Ummm…”

The leader salivated at the saintess’ words.

It certainly wasn’t reckless.

It was impossible for a group of paladins accompanied by a saint called the representative of God to be unable to penetrate even a single group of monsters.

However, there was a risk that the arrival time would be much longer than planned if the time was delayed while dealing with the monsters.

It was impossible to take such a heavy gamble now that King Beior might die at any moment.

The knight commander added to Iriel.

“Sorry, Lady, we have to think of the worst situation first. If it is later than planned, Frio Kingdom will not stand in your face.”

“Trust me once. If it’s a forest road this way, it’s not very long, and it’s the beginning of the mountain range, so the chances of encountering a group of monsters won’t be high.”

His eyes full of confidence revealed his will to disallow disagreement.

In the first place, the commander of the troops was always a saint, not herself.

If she made that decision, she had no choice but to follow it.

The knight commander bowed his head.

“Do as the saintess will.”

In the end, the Seongguk party took a slightly different path from the original direction.

Without knowing what consequences it might have for them.

* * *

A man in black approached Ojwa, who was increasing the number of soldiers by sacrificing villages and cities.

As he whispers something in his ear, Oh Jwa strokes his beard.

“Hmm. You mean the saintess finally got out of the kingdom? Besides, he deliberately turned toward the mountains. It must have been because he wanted to die. ha ha ha.”

The place where her army is hiding while holding their breath is where the mountain range the saintess is heading to is located.

If it was now, I could have made up my mind to ambush and eliminate them all at once.

It can be said that it is like sticking your head through the dragon’s mouth.

Ojwa laughed sinisterly.

“Things are going well. Get ready to hit the saintess. We will attack before the Seongguk bastards escape from Frio Kingdom.”

“All right.”

As the old man waved his hand once, countless people came out of the crumbled city.

On the outside, they seem fine, but if you look closely, you’ll quickly notice that they are corpses.

It is Ojwa who has made the king of Frio Kingdom sick and used them as a scapegoat to increase his troops.

Those in the Seongguk do not know, but it has already been more than a week since King Beior passed away.

Deliberately calling out the saintess was nothing more than a trap.

From the darkness, the shadow of death was gradually being cast over Iriel.

* * *

Two days later, around evening, the saintess and the others were able to arrive at Frio Kingdom.

Hana Kingdom was not the shape he was thinking of.

They looked around with serious expressions.

“What the hell happened to you?”

“It’s horrible…”

Looking at the burnt streets and the thick blood sticking here and there, I had no idea what really happened here.

Even Iriel hardened her complexion at the cruel appearance of the royal road.

‘Until the royal capital changed like this, there were no rumors from the neighboring countries. You’ve been completely beaten.’

If the kingdom of Frio was really just attacked, there was no way the news wouldn’t reach the kingdom.

In other words, they could say that they were already caught in a trap dug by the dark forces.

Realizing the situation, she hurriedly issued an order.

“Turn the wagon. I will return to the Holy Land immediately.”

“yes? But…”

“It’s done, so come on!”

The knight commander quickly responded to the saintess’ unusual reaction.

“I see.”

He instructed the Paladins to turn the wagon.

But it was already too late to turn back.

Iriel gritted his teeth at the strong demonic presence felt from afar.

“Everyone prepare for battle! Enemy!”

Raises holy power and casts holy magic on all nearby paladins.

“Holy detection! Strength! Nonweak!”

As countless holy magic poured down on the paladins, their bodies glowed bright yellow.

As the body overflows with strength, morale also increases.

As the Paladins were trained, they solidified their formation.

After a while, something faintly began to appear in the distance.

“What is that?”

“It’s a person!”

“Wait a minute! The state is strange! Don’t break the formation!”

It looks like they are running without power, but the number is not easy.

In addition, the eyes, which could not be found to be alive, looked similar to those of undead soldiers.

Iriel frowned as he saw them full of demons.

“That’s not undead… manipulating a corpse… what the hell is it about to happen?”

Countless corpses rushed towards them in a straight line.

The Paladins in front of him vigorously lowered their swords.

Slow-!

Write-!

As soon as the sword touched them, the corpses collapsed without being able to use their strength properly.

I was able to realize it in one clash.

weak. Weak, but too many.

It was a ridiculous number, enough to exceed ten thousand even if you did a light calculation.

On the other hand, they are only about seventy people.

There was no odds at all.

Even if he tried to run away, he couldn’t ignore the current running speed.

In the end, we have no choice but to fight against it.

Fortunately among misfortunes, they were not individually threatening.

She even had herself as a saint, so she didn’t have to worry about replenishing the physical strength of the paladins.

She clenched her fists.

‘If I do well, I might be able to break through.’
