Great Invasion (2)
The first day’s arduous battle is over.
Their numbers were greater than we thought, and our combat power was stronger than we thought.
“Whew… Do they rest at night too?”
The battle lasted for 13 hours. I carried the red spear, which had become soggy from the monster’s boat oil, on my shoulder and looked around the outside of the castle walls.
Infinite algebra. Although it is an exaggerated expression, the monsters that were worth it rushed to the wall and caused a bloody battle.
‘I think I killed at least 40,000.’
On the other hand, the damage on this side is not so great.
A natural defense called a wall stopped the monsters, and the wall that collapsed due to the initial attack was tightly blocked by knights.
But that’s only for a short period of time. The number of knights is limited and their stamina is limited, so we need to repair the wall quickly.
‘The problem is the giants.’
The giants did not rush to the wall directly, but they were a huge threat just by throwing rocks from afar.
The wall was somehow able to stop it, but rocks crushed houses here and there in the city, injuring many people.
At least since I had Lady Joséphine and Master, this was it.
‘I feel uncomfortable.’
We cut the Magic Tower because we expected this situation, but how on earth did Balthazar resurrect the giants? furthermore······.
‘Frost Giant…’
He kicked his heavy ass and came out. Normally, I would have been stuck in Nastrond by now… I wonder if everything I’ve done so far is having a butterfly effect in some way.
The sun is sealed by a sun-eating wolf squall. Even if we go beyond solar realization and go to the compression stage, it is meaningless considering its nature.
The next problem is that if the squall comes, there will also be Hati, the moon-eating wolf…
Wolves and giants of the apocalypse…and even frost giants. There is literally no such thing as an all-out offensive.
In the end, there are three difficulties in this battle.
Recovery of the sun that was blocked by a squall… Suppression of the frost giant Utgart Loki and the giants. finally······.
* * * *
The battle the next day had a similar pattern. From afar, giants throw rocks, and Professor Josephine and Erin Danua defend them.
Marie’s rider unit blocks enemy flying beasts, while wildlings, knights, and guards on the ground block monsters.
As night fell and the sun set, the army of monsters retreated like ghosts, and the wall defenders left their exhausted stamina behind and exchanged positions with the 3rd and 4th shifts.
This was possible due to the large number of wild men, knights, and wizards.
“Come on, let’s work quickly!”
“Treat the wounded! Medicine! Bring some herbs!”
“Repair the collapsed wall!”
The main population that forms the wall is the hundreds of thousands of wildlings that Korin accepted.
They were surprisingly diligent in defending the wall, and the reason was simple.
“If this is breached, our children behind the wall will be in danger!”
230,000 northerners who fled south to escape Balthazar. Among them, all non-combat personnel are concentrated behind the wall.
They know it too. When this wall falls, the first people to be targeted are my family.
“Whoa…”
Germain sweated profusely while rescuing residents from houses that collapsed in the aftermath of the battle.
Germain is a semi-first class knight, but this labor is still hard. Although it is not comparable to the Corin Guardians or wildlings who actively participate in battle.
As we move the remains of a collapsed house, there is someone holding our shoulders.
“Good job Germain.”
It was Corinne.
“Uh, bro…”
“how’s work?”
“More, thanks.”
Germain knows that Corinne left him out of a major battle. Even though I know it is consideration, I still complain.
“I can fight too… but I fight well.”
“I know. You were promoted to semi-first level knight this time, right? I know you’re better than most knights.”
“But why…”
“Well… it’s an adult’s pride.”
I hope that as many children as possible do not go to war. Corin’s subtle wish was contradictory.
“My brother and I are one year apart?”
“Hehe… I know.”
It was a pride that only Corin could understand and could not be said to others.
“Hyung. Did you know this would happen?”
“Monster?”
“The reason you accepted the wildlings was to fight against those monsters and giants, right?”
“yes.”
“······okay.”
It is understandable if it was a strategic action. Honestly, without the wildlings in this battle, it would have been impossible to protect the wall.
In the end, the choice was right. Germain, a Catholic priest, took such great effort to understand.
It depends on how you use those barbaric northerners.
“But… they probably would have brought it in even if it was only the elderly and the weak.”
“······brother?”
“I didn’t get it because it had value. I probably just did it.”
why. Do you really need to say that?
Because it had a purpose, because it had value, just this once. If they were tolerated just this once… Germain would have understood at least once.
However, Corin does not consider use value, benefit, or interests. His actions so far have proven that he is that way.

When saving a senior who awakened as a vampire,
When saving the Jiangshi who burned down the city,
Even when facing the princess’s army.
Gain or loss is irrelevant.
Save those who can be saved.
Even if it is difficult to obtain, take one step forward.
“Brother… Still. They are wild people.”
“I know. They are enemies of the kingdom. Noisy, fierce, obnoxious uninvited guests.”
Corin sees the noisy Northerners. After they entered this barrier, a flood of incidents occurred.
They sometimes clash with residents and sometimes do not follow the instructions of security guards. Their command system is ultimately based on the chieftains and valkyries.
The current cooperative relationship is only temporary for each other’s survival…it does not mean that the grievances between them have been resolved. but······.
“Look at them. They’re on our side now.”
Clear collapsed houses and walls and rescue survivors. They put the injured person down and go to the doctor, sweating profusely.
After saving someone like that, he laughs heartily and says that he is not done yet.
“Sweating and laughing while saving people must mean that we are also children of the same people. Because the places where people live are all similar.”
Never let go of your hand to save people. This is the case for many people, big or small.
Whether they are from the kingdom, from the demons, or from the north.
“When times are difficult, we help each other.”
Corin accepted that obvious proposition for granted.
“······.”
Since when did it start? Since when did Germain divide Zeruem and Zeon, humans and demons, and kingdom people and northerners?
Corinne, who did not distinguish between people as if it were so obvious, was dazzling to Germain.
So, because he is that kind of person, many people gather around him.
“Brother. But don’t stretch her too much. If you do that, your crotch will tear.”
“Oh my… I don’t have anything to say there, little brother.”
Germain chuckled and sweated again.
Saving people is a rewarding task.

That night, Catholic Bishop Renault infiltrated the walled city and moved quietly under the cover of night.
Their goal is the collapse of this wall.
Although the apocalypse has encountered an unexpected disruption, it is not the only factor that will cause chaos in the kingdom.
The northern wall that protects the border of the kingdom. If this collapses, countless demonic beasts will dig into the hole.
If they were there, the kingdom would be engulfed in enough chaos.
To do that, we first need to disrupt the battle of this wall.
“Whoa… is this here?”
“Yes, Bishop.”
Renault followed Germain’s guidance and moved to the food warehouse in the center of the city.
Food, weapons, winter supplies, bricks and materials… everything is an invaluable consumable for this wall. In other words, each one is the lifeline of the wall in battle.
If only these can be destroyed, the Wall will not be able to withstand this invasion.
“It’s foolish. I was too greedy. If only we hadn’t accepted those heretics, there wouldn’t have been a big problem.”
“······.”
The rapid depletion of the Walled City’s supplies was due to the acceptance of hundreds of thousands of wild beasts.
The supply of food and weapons to support them has increased dramatically, so they have no choice but to expect supplies from outside.
Fortunately, this preparation was close to perfect. A procession supplying large amounts of food and weapons had already arrived in the name of welcoming the Holy Expeditionary Force in advance.
“······It’s enormous.”
The food warehouse that arrived was so large that it was noticeable even in the city.
It was said that the Southern Dunaref duchy was providing supplies directly, and the scale of the supply was enormous. Enough to feed hundreds of thousands of wild beasts.
Lee Jojo’s first potato warehouse. There were three more similar ones. Of course, operatives were dispatched there too.
‘But if you destroy this.’
The next supply is in two weeks. Hundreds of thousands of people will suffer from food shortages. Indeed, will the wild people be calm at that time?
In order to survive, I will leave the wall and advance to the kingdom. It would be quite a sight to see hundreds of thousands of wild beasts plundering the kingdom.
“Everyone, the holy relics are ready.”
A bomb that is a condensed form of holy power bestowed from Zeruem. Just as I was trying to install it.
“What are you doing?”
“······?!”
Renault and the members of Ambu turned around in shock.
“You, you…!”
It was some kid who called him. It’s also a familiar face.
“Woe, Hwaran…!”
She was a nun of the Zeon Church and an abominable Majin Hwaran.
“Do you know me?”
“······.”
Renault did not answer. He, who runs the secretariat, had done many tricks to Hwaran.
In particular, in cooperation with Kang Ryun, a true magician from the East, he promoted the ginger poet Hwaran to a later status and attempted to portray him as an evil person who destroys everything.
But Holland does not know Renault. He has no way of knowing what he has done to himself in the shadows.
“Huh, hmm… Sue, you were a nun. Hey, I was just passing by.”
“that?”
Hwaran’s eyes turned to the sacred object. Renault shamelessly made excuses.
“It’s no big deal. Haha.”
“okay?”
Hwaran showed signs of moving on as if it was no big deal. It’s very fortunate. If you collide with that monster, you have no chance of winning.
“Then Germain. You go over there.”
“Yep, senior.”
Germain quickly leaves his seat. Renault looked at it blankly.
“What…, brother?”
Renault, who was quick-witted, immediately realized that Germain had betrayed him. He took the holy object from the shadow member next to him and immediately activated it.
“Suppress it.”
With a voice heard from somewhere, the knights attack the members of the Ambu all at once. There was no time to resist that instantaneous action.
Renault threw the holy object towards the food warehouse. Hwaran grabbed his seat with a spur, and another driver overpowered Renault and threw him to the floor.
“Hahahaha! It’s already too late! Do you know what it is? It’s a bomb that will blow up this entire area at once! There is no way to disarm it!”
“really?”
Hwa looked down blankly at the heavy lump in his hand. 5 seconds until detonation. It is too late to throw it or dismantle it.
“It’s dangerous, Dutch nun!”
A knight stopped Hwa-ran, but Hwa-ran insisted on holding the bomb with both hands.
Knock! Knock! And a bomb is held in both small palms. A bomb big enough to fit in the palm of your hand goes off!
-Poooooong…
The bomb exploded in Hwa’s palms, making a cute sound and sending out black smoke.
“······.”
“······.”
“······.”
“······What is this?”
The last one is the voice of a dazed Renault.
“That’s it…”
The owner of the shaky steps is Corin Locke. He looked down at Renault.
“Ughhh… Corin Locke!”
“Hello, Bishop Renault. This is your first meeting, right?”
“Oh, you unbeliever! You!”
“You will be put on trial. For threatening countless people in the Walled City. Yes, the trial begins. Ground pound! Guilty. Papai.”
This is a sham trial! But Renault realized that he was the only magistrate with jurisdiction in the area.
“Do you think it will end like this? The Church! The Holy Father of the Holy Land will not tolerate this!”
“You can’t do it. That church will soon disappear.”
“What? What is that…!”
“Read the paper later.”
Take him to prison. After saying those words, Corin didn’t even look at Renault.
Renault actually frothed at the mouth and fainted after reading the newspaper.
* * * *
The Holy Expeditionary Force was organized.
The maximum power available to the kingdom, excluding the minimum defensive forces in each region.
3,000 knights and 1,000 wizards. The number of soldiers armed with magic tools reached 100,000.
The Mound horsemen also actively cooperated here.
With Corin’s help, they became citizens of the kingdom and were protected by the kingdom’s laws, so they actively participated in the crusade for their position within the kingdom.
There are a whopping 1,000 Guardian-level forces, including vampires and beastmen.
With such formidable power, the kingdom’s army felt saddened when they imagined the damage they would have suffered if an all-out war broke out without Korin stopping them.
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
Estelle was leading a 20,000-strong expeditionary force departing from the Holy Land of Zeon. In the capital, Runia and she will lead her advance force and support her northern side.
In addition, 1,000 Mines who came from the mound to support were waiting at the Zeon Shrine, and out of 20,000 Estelle’s troops, including the church’s Holy Knights, a whopping 2,000 were Guardian-level soldiers.
“Your Majesty, preparations for the march are complete.”
“Hmm~ Good, good. If this is enough, my little brother Corin will be happy too, right?”
Estelle did an excellent job with the task Corin entrusted to her. And now there are two things left.
The last thing to do is to march to the wall and help him, but before that, the first thing to do is…
“All troops…!”
Estelle led the Holy Expeditionary Force and set out from the Holy Land.
As soon as the expeditionary force left the Zeon Holy Land, Estelle turned her head towards the entire army, and they naturally looked at the saint.
-Why are you like that?
-Why did the saint stop?
Noisy soldiers. Among them, the only ones who understand this are the Mound Demons.
“Everyone, from now on we are advancing towards Zeruem.”
“Seo, saintess?”
“March on Zeruem? What do you mean by that?”
In response to the puzzled cardinal and the leader of the Holy Knights, Estelle gave a terrible command in the benevolent and benevolent voice of Saint Mode.
“There is a prophecy from the Lord. Please understand that we have kept it hidden until now for security reasons.”
The saint distributed certain materials at the same time. The facts it pointed to were terrible.
-Three, oh my…
– Is this true? Well, if this is true…
Estelle raised her mace, shining with brilliant holy power, towards the agitated army.
“We will exterminate the true heretics! Advance to Zeruem!”
“Exterminate the heretics!”
“Follow the Holy Maiden!”
The Zeon Church’s Holy Expeditionary Force, which seemed likely to advance to the north, raided the Zeruem Church.
“War starts from the rear.”
Church of Jeruem.
It was the moment when the Catholic Church was destroyed.
