Great Invasion (3)

Last year, Corin made the following request to the Hasin clan.

「Connectivity to specific forces through close investigation of key figures in the Catholic Church. “Gather evidence of the shadow’s secret operations, kidnap as many people as possible at once, and get their confessions.”

Although it was a vague request, Rashid ad-Din Mustali and Sinan Yib Salman Mustali were impressed by Corin’s accurate nomination of the key person.

Each of the priests he pointed out showed the same suspicious behavior.

After kidnapping, imprisoning, and torturing several people under the pretense of accidental death, we learned of their plans and what they were planning to do in the future.

“Our clan is a group of people who feed on darkness, but this…”

“You crazy bastards.”

Rashid, who was appalled by his clan’s business of torture, kidnapping, and assassination, was willing to use torture tools due to their cruelty and madness.

Help God and destroy the humans of this world. That is the truth about the arrival of paradise.

For the sake of eternal life, power, and power in the newly created world, these people were willing to destroy the world.

But this alone is not enough. More solid evidence is needed…an order with the Pope’s seal.

The Hasin family tried to secure this evidence through their specialty, disguised registration, but they were unable to get to the Pope’s room due to the tight security.

This was coordinated with Corin Locke’s father-in-law candidates, including King David, Duke Dunaref, and Geomje Garand, and the ‘Two Princesses’ also participated.

After a long meeting, it was Estelle who came to a clear conclusion.

“Can’t we just break it down and think about it next time?”

There was no need to ask what to do next.

It is a clear fact that the Catholic Church is cooperating with the ‘arrival of paradise.’ In that case, you just have to destroy it first and find the evidence later.

The justification for the attack was to put the soldiers’ doubts to rest with the evidence obtained so far and to completely destroy the Catholic Church by disclosing the evidence that will eventually be revealed.

“What if… no evidence is found?”

In response to Rashid’s question, Estelle smiled so crookedly that it was hard to believe she was a saint.

“You just have to kill all of the upper echelons of Zeruem.”

“yes?”

“You said all you have to do is kill them all and shut their mouths? What are they going to do? They’ve already gone to the underworld.”

It’s best if evidence is found, but even if not found, you can just kill all those who protest.

Indeed, it was a remark befitting a saint who took power by massacring the upper echelons of Protestantism in that way.

“Not bad.”

That violent conclusion was easier to accept than expected.

“The destruction of the world is at stake… so let’s think about what happens later.”

“If you really want to do something, you just need to make evidence.”

“In the end, it is power. How can things that have no power protest?”

Corinne Locke’s father-in-law candidates who are as radical as saints. Rashid looked up at the sky with blank eyes.

‘Senior Corin… I hope you can survive wherever you choose later.’

result.

“aaah!”

“Kaaak!”

“Stop it! Stop it!”

A prophecy made by Estelle through the authority of a saint in response to Zeruem’s eschatology.

The advance unit of the Holy Expeditionary Force organized for him marched out.

However, their direction of advance was not north. At first, they seemed to be advancing to the north, but then they suddenly turned around and advanced quickly to the west.

“Uh, why…!”

Pope Alexander of the Church of Zeruem was devastated by the incoming expeditionary force of the Church of Zeon.

When the widely spread apocalypse theory was canceled by the saint’s additional prophecy, and the entire kingdom suddenly came together to form a ridiculous army called the Holy Expeditionary Force, the Catholic Church of Paradise Arrival saw this as an opportunity.

Let’s gather military power and go on an expedition to the north, and when the seat is empty, let’s rise up from within and throw the kingdom into chaos.

If you disturb the rear and destroy the supply routes, no matter how large your army is, it will easily collapse.

It would be too easy for the bright Danan to wipe them out.

Therefore, now all that is required is for the Zeon Church and the military to deploy from the capital. When we reached a certain point in the north and the battle intensified, we planned to rise up all at once.

‘Why on earth did that crazy thing come here!’

The Zeruem Church has no army to resist that expeditionary force. This is because they have already dispersed in various places for simultaneous demonstrations.

Above all, no matter how big a religion is, there are limits to the military that can be mobilized. On the other hand, Estelle’s expeditionary force is mainly comprised of a standing army recruited from various places under the pretext of a prophecy.

As it was a national project, there was an overabundance of manpower.

“aaah!”

bang! And the door shattered, and the Holy Knights fell out in blood. Red paint that could not be covered even by the red carpet in the throne room flew everywhere.

“Ah, you are here.”

A blood-stained, pink-haired saint comes in holding a blood-soaked mace. Pope Alexander was frightened and pointed his finger.

“What the hell is this!”

In the face of the pope of a rival religion, Estelle responded naturally.

“The time has come for religious integration.”

“This is such an outrageous act! Do you think believers will tolerate it?”

“Are you going to do it? The public is conditioned to believe what we reveal. Above all, I am an adult, so who do I believe?”

Those arrogant and arrogant words almost made my blood boil. Men wearing turbans appeared one after another next to the saint. Among them was Rashid.

“Sir, senior… here.”

Rashid flips through the data, horrified at the sight of the Paladins who are difficult to deal with lying around in blood clots.

“Hmm, now we have evidence.”

“Well, that is!”

“I guess you weren’t paying attention because you were in the middle of a battle? You shouldn’t put something really important in the safe.”

It was evidence that Rashid and the Hasin clan had discovered by raiding the Pope’s treasury during the turmoil between Catholics and Protestants during the battle.

Uprisings in various parts of the continent led by Zeruem. Confusion plan. There are numerous items with the Pope’s seal, including major attack facilities.

“If no evidence was found, I was planning on splitting the head open… but then you get judged for heresy and hanged, right? I’m a little busy.”

“Ugh!”

Sigh! Estelle grabs Pope Alexandre’s hair. The 70-year-old man was dragged away without even being able to resist her strength.

The next day, 27 cardinals and dozens of bishops, including Pope Jerume, were hanged in the square.

90 years since the Witch Revolution. It was the first major religious unification 90 years since the launch of the Protestant Zeon Church.

* * * *

“Avoid everyone!!”

-Quaang!

Chunks of rock swept over the wall. The soldiers on the wall are swept away by the rocks and burst into pieces of cloth.

“Ugh…!”

Josephine gritted her teeth as she looked at the chunks of rock she had been unable to block.

The giants, who had been throwing only huge rocks until the third day, now threw many things as big as their palms.

Although it has less destructive power than a giant rock, it is more difficult to block due to its greater numbers.

“Ugh, uhhh…”

“Damn it! Don’t be intimidated! I’m telling you to push the guys climbing up the wall!”

The city’s guards were so frightened that they seemed ready to flee at any moment. Even though the senior guards and the dismissed guard captain Bjorn scolded them, their spirits did not improve. Northerners, on the other hand, were different.

“Push on, Odinson…! Skjändmer is watching!”

“Everyone will die someday! Then you will die bravely!”

If you die bravely on the battlefield, the shield maidens will guide you to Valhalla.

This was the old belief of the Northerners and the main reason they felt no fear in battle.

Real-life demigods. What is there to fear when the Skademers who have led them for a thousand years are by their side?

‘Morale is high… but those giants are the problem.’

Corrin recovered the spear by piercing the ogre that broke through the wall gate.

The gate of the wall is intended to block out wild men. Trolls and ogres, medium to large-sized monsters, were coming in droves, and no matter how iron the walls were, there was no way to withstand them.

‘There are a lot of knights and wizards, so I can easily block them…’

If things continue like this, the losses will be severe. Corrin headed towards the unit that was avoiding the rocks behind the wall.

“Hwaran, Alisha.”

The two people appear covered in blood. Covered in the blood of monsters, they still haven’t been able to lower their fever.

“You’re having a hard time, but it’s extra overtime. Get ready.”

“······huh.”

“all right.”

It was a time when everyone’s concentration was focused on the wall due to the heat of battle. Corin led the knights he had organized in advance and was guided by Bjorn, the former guard captain.

“This way.”

The place he guided us to was an entrance in a remote part of the wall. As soon as you enter there, you go straight underground, and soon a dark tunnel leads to it.

“It’s an underground tunnel built in preparation for a large-scale attack by wild beasts. It hasn’t been used in nearly a hundred years…”

The tunnel was wide and large. Originally, it was large enough to send out cavalry units, but there was a sense of uncertainty as repairs were not continued.

“But Sir Corrin… are you going out in person?”

“Even if I stay here, there’s nothing to do other than spearing.”

You might not know it from a wizard, but a knight is closer to an elite unit that excels in a water-based battle like this. The value of a knight shines when confronting the enemy’s high-ranking units.

Therefore, Corrin created a mobile unit made up of knights. I plan to go outside the wall and go on a rampage myself.

It was a traditional way of operating a knight.

“Hmm… The warrior himself takes the lead. That’s a very admirable quality.”

“We like it.”

They weren’t the only ones participating in this task force. Valkyries who joined the wildlings. They were also together.

“Corin-sama. Corin-sama~”

Valkyrie, a girl who jumps up and approaches you in a friendly way. The gray-haired shield maiden held Corin’s hand.

“······.”

“······.”

Hwaran and Alisha glanced at each other, but the Shield Maiden smiled brightly without paying any attention.

“Why are you doing this, Miss Mist?”

“I was wondering if I could get permission for one thing.”

“What is it?”

“If Corin is fighting fiercely and is on the verge of death… can I hit his head from behind?”

“”······?!””

Everyone except the Valkyries looked at them in shock, disbelieving their ears.

“It’s not possible.”

“Uh… why?”

Everyone swallows the words, “Why, why are you crazy?” in their throats. However, this is not the first time Corinne has experienced this.

“I understand that they are trying to take away the most intact soul. I am the type of person who struggles until the end.”

“······It’s a shame. If you were a warrior who overcame Odin’s curse, you would have been a great commander of the Einherjar.”

Mist looked truly disappointed. Everyone looks at this with disapproval, but for the Valkyries, it is common sense.

What brings a great warrior to Valhalla in his most intact form is the Valkyries slitting his throat just before he dies.

In the previous episode of Korindo, he was embarrassed because several Valkyries were targeting his head. This is the type loved by those who are dangerous in many ways.

“Well, we’ve arrived.”

Bjorn opened the exit at the end, thinking that he shouldn’t fight hard in front of those shield maidens.

“Whoa…”

The group slowly comes up to the ground.

The tunnel’s exit leads to a bare forest beyond the snow-covered barrier.

“Be careful not to be caught by the monsters.”

Beyond the forest. There are plenty of animals damaging the pure white snow fields.

If you were caught by them here, you would be instantly surrounded and crushed to death.

“Corin.”

Hwaran grabbed the hem of Corin’s clothes.

“what’s the matter?”

“I feel it. There’s something dangerous.”

-aaa!!

A cold, sharp cry spread loudly.

The knights and Valkyries instinctively take up their weapons and enter a battle stance.

“The wolf of the apocalypse…”

Thrud, a sturdy female leader, broke into a cold sweat. There is no Valkyrie who doesn’t know what that wolf’s mother ate.

Although the wolf’s mouth was torn open and it died, the supreme fantasy beasts it left behind were asleep in the north for a long time.

“Everyone, calm down. I can’t see it, so what can I do?”

Corrin relaxed as if he was used to it. It’s amazing how he can do that while the hairs all over his body stand on end.

They don’t know. The fact that this warrior once faced those powerful beings with only a spear.

From noble mtl dot com

“But it’s strange. Why did those sleepy wolves move now?”

They are vain beasts. Unlike the surviving frost giants, they are a remnant of myth.

Beasts of the apocalypse.

Skoll and Hati swallowed the sun and moon.

Midgard Ore, which swallowed up the world’s oceans.

They are not monsters with a complete form. If we have to be specific, they are closer to the demonic beasts of the shadow world.

It is close to a ghost that exists but has no substance.

That’s why they look for a ‘vessel’.

Miriam, the vessel of Midgard Oreum.

Skoll and Hati’s Vessels Ren and Ron.

However, Balthazar failed to secure them, and therefore considered it impossible for the beasts of the apocalypse to appear in this world.

‘Nevertheless, he showed up. Even frost giants. why?’

This episode was so bizarre. Things that should not be resurrected continue to be resurrected. Even if you block it in advance, it will be revealed that you are ignoring the affair somewhere.

There was something about it that made me reluctant to think it was simply a butterfly effect of my own actions.

“For now, I’m satisfied with this goal as reconnaissance. What should I do with Squall, the sun’s natural enemy…?”

Then, Corrin’s senses alerted him. The sixth sense that detects crisis by feeling the wind on the skin. What he took out was a red spear for hunting animals.

-Sssshhhhh!

It was a chilling wind that seemed almost possessed by a ghost. It ran through the forest, running through the soil, and the bare branches could not stop it.

“Corin…!”

There were at most two people who reacted to that strange speed. It was Corin Locke and Hwaran… In an instant, Hwaran saw a bright yellow eye light rushing right in front of her nose.

-Kaaagh!

thud! And something passed by. It happened so quickly that it took the group about two seconds to realize what was happening.

“Hwaran!”

Just 2 seconds. In that split second, he was running far away, carrying the Gangsi nun with him.

Hathi, the moon-eating wolf.

They were Squall’s twin wolves.
