Episode 1052
The situation was unfolding in a strange way.
A group of troops was coming this way. Soldiers wearing white armor with waving
flags and divinity. Their identity was clear without a second glance.
‘Paladin of the Holy Federation!’
Despair flashed in the eyes of the exhausted Kizen students.
‘Following Behemoth, we have to deal with Paladin as well?’
‘It’s ruined.’
On the other hand, Secretary Bestiola, standing in front, was smiling triumphantly.
I don’t know why a person from the neutral zone was trying to drive out the forces
of the Dark Alliance, but it was all his plot.
Fitzgerald pushed up his glasses.
“… “I should have expected this situation since it is a neutral zone, but it was my
mistake.”
Looking at the energy felt by all the Paladins and the gorgeous armor they were wearing, it seemed like they were all in a daze. At least he is not a paladin who works in the provinces.
Flap!
At that time, the paladins took a bow and retreated to the left and right. A man wearing armor that was flashier and thicker than any other paladin approached.
A handsome man with long blonde hair tied back. There were large black dots under his eyes, and a sad smile was on his lips, but his eyes were eerie.
Plus a spear and a blue cloak on his back. Even the Paladin flags crossed by the riders behind them. All of this meant one thing.
‘Arch Paladin.’
One of the Arch Paladins of the Holy Federation, who is said to be unable to deal
with anyone other than an active crow agent, came here in person. The students’ daylight became even darker.
“Listen, necromancers of Kizen.”
The Arch Paladin opened his mouth.
“I, Zalcon Srafalca, and the 10th cathedral knight unit directly under Ephnel have come at the request of the ‘current’ lord of Orjava to stop you from carrying out military activities in defiance of the neutral zone agreement.”
Cheok!
He raised his spear.
“If you do not leave this territory immediately, I will take military action in accordance with the Neutral Zone Agreement between the Federation and the Coalition.”
“!!”
Anger appeared in the students’ eyes.
“Are those fanatics crazy?”
“When the Behemoth came, you hid, but now it comes and stabs you in the back, so what?”
Holy Federation.
Since they have revealed that they belong to Afnel, this is an international issue.
Keygen must not back down from Afnel under any circumstances. She had always
been taught that way, and in fact, she thought it was better to fight and die than to
have everyone else in this place run away.
Among them, only Fitzgerald, the most cool-headed, quickly grasped the situation.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he stretched out a magic circle with his hand behind his back a few times.
‘… … ‘It’s dangerous.’
It is a perfect siege.
It seems that a disruption barrier to block communication and teleportation magic
circles has already been deployed.
From the beginning, they must have known that this side would not escape and fought a battle they would not lose. In fact, the option of running away itself is not feasible due to the injuries.
At this rate, everyone will be taken prisoner.
“Choose. “Are you going to step down or fight?”
Arch Paladin Zalkon, who declared so, glanced around. Among the students who looked like defeated soldiers after a fierce battle with Behemoth, there were no people of interest to be seen.
In particular, active-duty corps commanders who are compared to saints. they are
not there
“… … .”
Zalcon’s cold gaze turned to Bestiola, the secretary who had called them. He asked
what happened.
Bestiola was taken aback and mouthed, ‘It was definitely there!’ He was saying.
[Who are you looking for?]
Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-!
In an instant, a vicious voice struck the audience.
The man who is being dragged with his pure white greatsword hitting the floor and sparks flying is undoubtedly the commander of the 7th Corps. He was walking step by step, wearing bone armor and waving an intangible cloak.
‘Simon!’
‘It’s the chairman!’
A ray of hope flashed in the eyes of the Kizen students. There was no one who could be so powerful in this situation.
‘Are you the commander of the Dark Alliance?’
‘The crystallization of evil.’
On the other hand, the priests’ eyes were full of caution.
“Nice to meet you, Commander of the Dark Alliance.”
The Arch Paladin raised the corners of his mouth and said. Simon looked back at them, the great sword of destruction slung over his shoulder.
[Are there no saints?]
Simon took a quick look at the unit and responded as if it was no big deal.
The paladins reacted angrily and grabbed the hilts of their swords.

“Do not speak of them with your filthy mouth!”
“There is no need for great people to step forward, our strength is enough!”
“Goddess! “Power to judge them!”
Zalkon raised his arm to silence his men and smiled.
“There is no reason for saints to come to a battle like this. If you want to see me, how about requesting it after you are evacuated to Sky Island?”
‘Nonsense.’
Even if it means giving up on all other students, you will probably want to get rid of the active corps commander right now.
Simon is slowly thinking about what to do.
Crrrrrrrrrrr!
A gust of wind blew along with a bloody voice. The paladins quickly raised their arms and covered their heads.
“D-dragon?”
Flap!
A black dragon spread a pair of wings from the black sky and landed next to Simon.
The shape of the black dragon that threatened the paladins by spreading the dragon fear slowly shrunk and took on the shape of Hector.
“I wasn’t feeling well enough to end it like this, but it was good.”
A voice that sounded like something to chew on rang out. Blood vessels were bulging all over Hector’s neck and face.
“I’ll burn you, Priest.”
Simon rolled his eyes slightly, noticed Hector’s condition, and laughed bitterly inwardly.
‘My legs are shaking, I can’t do anything.’
Still, I was thankful that they came out to fight together without hesitation even though they were exhausted.
“Is that the commander of the 6th Corps?”
Zalkon looked excited and raised the spear in his hand.
“Two corps commanders are opponents! “It is a perfect battlefield for the goddess
to watch over me!”
Oooooh!
A massive nova rose from the tip of the spear.
It seemed that the saying that he was indeed an Arch Paladin was true. The other
paladins also pulled out their swords and began to pray and bless their bodies. Kizen students also responded by preparing layer after layer of curse magic circles.
Simon slightly raised his helmet and spoke in a low voice to Hector.
“You evacuated Lorraine, right?”
“… … Do I look like an idiot? “I somehow managed to get him on a boat and send
him there.”
Regardless of victory or defeat, the evacuation of Lorraine is the top priority.
They must have come here only because they heard that there was an active-duty
corps commander. If we find out that there is a daughter of Nephthys, it may become a real ‘war’ rather than a battle. Two corps commanders are sufficient here.
“ruler!”
Zalkon lowered his posture and raised his spear.
“I hope you enjoy it!”
The moment he bends down to attack me at any moment.
Tuhwaaaaaaaaa!
A huge bombardment fell from the sky. Zalkon quickly changed his stance and retreated, out of range of his artillery fire.
“what?”
“We’re up!”
The eyes of the Kizen students and priests turned to the sky.
Undead battleships were approaching through the clouds in the sky. Around it, numerous red skeletons were floating as if they were guarding it.
The paladins were agitated.
“Are they reinforcements from the Dark Alliance?”
“I blocked the teleport so quickly!”
Looking at that majestic appearance, it is not unreasonable to think so.
But there is actually only one person handling it.
‘Professor Aaron!’
Soon, a red skeleton came down here from the battleship. The skeleton’s bone armor burst open and Aaron fell out of it.
Zalkon frowned. A person who was not included in Secretary Bestiola’s report.
‘It was unexpected that even interest showed up.’
“My name is Aaron Deia of Kizen.”
Aaron nodded once to Simon and Hector and then came forward.
“Arc Paladin Zalcon, your winning spirit is well known even in this world. “But your offensive violates the Neutral Zone Agreement.”
“You weren’t the one who broke the agreement. “We came to protect this place at
the request of Lord Orjava.”
Sigh.
Aaron unfolded a document and held it up.
It was the very document that had received the signatures of Cernet and the former lord.
“Orjava in the neutral zone will actively support Kizen’s military activities. “Also, Orjava fully submits to Kizen’s control and delegates military control during this battle against Behemoth.”
“What does that mean? “The battle against Behemoth is not over.”
“no.”
Sigh.
Aaron pointed behind him.
“The battle against Behemoth is not over yet.”
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck!
As soon as those words were finished, sand rose up from the shore and a loud noise broke out.
A whale’s tail can be seen in the distance and its cries can be heard. It seemed like
it was either Cernet’s fantasy or something other students were making plausible sounds, but that was enough.
Zalkon’s expression also turned red.
“This is a deception!”
“Does it really look like that?”
Aaron spoke in a voice like a cold wind blowing.
“As long as the battle against Behemoth is not over, we have a duty to remain here
and protect the residents. “If you come to fight, I will gladly fight you, but I want to
make it clear that you are the one who is breaking the agreement.”
A new agreement between the Dark Federation and the Holy Federation.
This agreement between Nephthys and Israfil was quite complicated, but its gist was to further strengthen the existing neutral zone agreement in order to stop the conflict even for a while as a powerful enemy called the Association had emerged.
Abolishing the new agreement due to problems on the part of the Holy Federation,
even though it has not been long since it was entered into, would be an act of ignoring and deceiving the entire moderate faction of the Holy Federation, including Israel.
Zalcon is an arch paladin who is typically blinded by the ball and has a strong will
to attack. He did not lead the regular army of the Holy Federation, but simply brought along his subordinates to chase the fight.
After hearing the information that there was a corps commander, he would have hoped to come over here and fight, but that was only possible in the past, and currently, it is only possible within the scope of the agreement.
Zalcon’s expression became increasingly rotten. The new lord, Bestiola, was also blindsided by Cerne, but she was not in her right mind at the time and there was no evidence that she had been manipulated by anything.
“Mr. Zalkon.”
At the same time, a paladin approached him and spoke to him in a whisper.
“The public opinion of the residents of the neutral zone is the worst.”
Rumors had already spread.
All the residents of Orjava witnessed firsthand the Kizen students risking their lives
against Behemoth. When those residents heard that the Holy Federation’s paladins
were planning to attack the necromancers who saved them, they came like a cloud.
-Kizen people are our benefactors! Go away!
-Isn’t the secretary afraid of the sky?
-The neutral zone is no longer the battlefield of the Holy Federation!
All the residents were throwing stones and swearing.
There.
“The troops of the 7th Corps caught up behind us. “When the battle starts, we’ll be
back from the rear.”
“… … .”
The legion was already on the move.
Simon wasn’t standing here alone for no reason.
‘Tsk.’
There are more than one thing that bothers me. However, his pride does not allow
him to leave the goddess’s enemy and retreat like this. The Arch Paladin, with a cold expression on his face, raised his finger.
“10 hours.”
“… … .”
“At that point, I believe the battle against Behemoth is over. There’s only so much
that can be tolerated. “After that time.”
Kuuk.
Zalkon clenched his fists.
“The goddess’s spear will judge you.”
* * *
I bought time.
Aaron immediately gathered the students who could move.
“We don’t know if they will actually fight, but we have to be prepared for all situations. So that you can get on a boat and get out of the neutral zone. “I will stay and deal with you.”
Naturally, the students refused.
“It’s better! Let’s take this opportunity to crush the bastards of Priest fanaticism!”
“The saint even touched our school two years ago!”
“I can’t just leave the professor alone!”
All students had a burning desire to fight.
But Simon actually reacted calmly.
“Everyone, please rest in peace. Zalkon and the paladins will retreat on their own.”
“?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Simon.
“Why do you think that way?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Did I say it too meaningfully? Simon answered with an embarrassed smile.
“… … “Because the situation within the Holy Federation is complicated?”
“I’m not sure about that! Jalkon is really reckless. “He is a person who moves contrary to the Sky Island’s intentions!”
* * *
While the students were preparing for battle, Simon told Toto that he would go see
the Ancient Undeads of the Legion for a while and then slipped away.
‘Alaze, prepare a decent priest’s face leather.’
[Ready right away.]
Simon went into the empty house and changed his clothes first.
I changed my clothes, put on the white robe purchased from Holy Federation, and
sprayed the perfume purchased there. On her head was a wig of white hair, and on
her face was a protein face prepared by Alase.
‘finally.’
Simon closed his eyes.
‘I can do anything!’
Hwaaaaaaaaa!
Simon’s body was filled with divinity instead of pitch black, spewing out dazzling divinity.
Simon smiled and took out a small notebook from his pocket.
“Okay then, let’s go meet him.”
A necromancer who uses divinity that has no precedent in the world.
As common sense became more firmly rooted in an era, Simon’s scope of activity inevitably expanded.
