Chapter 156
Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 156
Episode 156
The camp of the Continental Army’s Daeseong Armored Division on the Baekgol Wilderness Front.
An angry shout erupted from Commander Ibischler’s personal tent.
“Are you sure?”
Valkyrie, who was patrolling the camp, crossed her arms and sighed.
“Huh, it looks like the rumors were true.”
Her squire looked up at Valkyrie. Rhett from Tedrang Village. He was a boy whose sister’s life was saved by Iden a few years ago.
“Sylvia, what is the rumor?”
“The story of a captain who set sail alone last night, called Nedval’s Yurein. I heard you took 1500? “He’s crazy.”
Rhett’s pupils twitched uneasily.
“He deserted…”
“That would be better. All we have to do is punish a few people and reorganize as examples. But I went to the Saha River. “I guess he wanted to at least get some credit.”
Valkyrie Sylvia swallowed her sleep.
“We will be annihilated. “With high probability.”
Rhett seemed anxious as he tightly held the holy sword that was larger than his body. As a squire, he was holding Valkyrie’s weapon instead.
It was also part of the training. Because I was trained just by weight alone.
“Then our side will be less than 20,000.”
“that’s right. It must be around 15,000. “There are quite a few injured.”
“The enemy is increasing in number, but we are only shrinking.”
Sylvia smiled slightly and ruffled Rhett’s hair.
“So you’re anxious?”
“That’s not true! It is an honor to die in battle. “I heard that you can go to heaven when you die.”
“Maybe so. But there is a difference between fighting with the readiness to die and fighting with the assumption of death. Always choose the former.”
It looked similar to the retro line.
“······All right.”
Sylvia smiled and looked at the sky.
“If you prepare to die and swing your sword, God will answer you. Like you said, you can get a ticket to heaven. Whatever it is, we fight without judging. Whether there are many or few. “Because it is the sword of God.”
Rhett lowered his head slightly.
“I’m not there yet.”
Sylvia tapped his shoulder.
“to? Having received the seal directly from His Holiness. You are already qualified. “It will bloom soon.”
Rhett briefly recalled the past.
A paladin who purified his older sister Julie’s magical energy. The day Rhett first saw Aiden, his dream grew.
I wanted to become a paladin. It’s still just a seed, but it will happen someday.
He took out the sun seal from his pocket.
‘If your resolve is strong, God will respond. When the sun is drawn on the seal, come visit the church.’
Iden, who was an apprentice knight, said this while handing over the seal to Rhett.
The sun pattern has not yet appeared. Probably because I didn’t receive a response. You probably lack faith.
Sylvia said, looking down at the boy.
“Wouldn’t it be possible for the white yang to be engraved? “On your seal.”
Then you will be able to join the White Sheep Knights.
Rhett opened his mouth.
“Are you mixed up with Sir Sylvia?”
Mixture (混在) refers to the state in which the white sun and the sun coexist on the seal. Several paladins were experiencing such enlightenment.
Sylvia shook her head.
“I’m still only the sun. “I guess it’s because I lack faith.”
Rhett spoke cautiously.
“······I heard it was a motive. Could it be because of that?”
As children, Sylvia and Aiden were educated together at a monastery.
There were a total of 30 classmates, but only two survived and were commissioned as Holy Knights.
The rest could not pass the ordeal and died.
Sylvia twisted her neat short hair with her index finger.
“Um… I guess it would be a lie if I didn’t say so.”
“It’s probably because we’re so close. If my friend were to become a god… No. “Such words are blasphemous.”
It was a little different. The Iden that Sylvia had seen was always a capable child, but there was a bit of a twist.
His personality was especially like that. An arrogant, arrogant, and wanton genius. Everyone at the monastery hated Aiden. Even abbots and priests, including monks.
It was the same with Sylvia. I’ve been watching it for a long time, but I just can’t get enough of it.
Since graduating from the monastery, I haven’t met him once and only heard news from time to time, but after two years, he was commissioned as a Holy Knight, became a hero, and is now reborn as a god of the church.
To her, it was unrealistic.
Rhett looked at her thoughtfully and opened his mouth.
“If you don’t mind… how was it with your Holiness?”
This was a question I heard a lot. The answer was always the same.
“He was a capable and just person.”
I couldn’t tell the truth.
“I guess so.”
“What was your name like when you saw him?”
“Likewise, he was a wonderful person.”
“Yes, when we go through the holy war, we will meet again…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the commander’s tent door was thrown open.
“Assemble all the priests!”
It was Commander Ibischler. His expression was tinged with anger.
The high-ranking spy lowered his head.
“I will spread the word.”
The spy looked at Sylvia.
“Sir Sylvia, please help me. “This is an order from His Excellency the Commander to gather everyone, including priests, evangelists, and battalion-level commanders, at the makeshift cathedral.”
Sylvia tilted her head.
“Why all of a sudden?”
“It looks like it will run Revelation.”
The Book of Revelation was originally a type of Bible to convey the meaning of the sun. For the past 200 years, no matter how many holy relics were offered, the sun did not respond.
Baekyang was different.
When I prayed to Aiden, I sometimes got an answer.
The spy sat on the horse.
“It’s a simple cathedral.”
Sylvia, who had been sitting next to him for no reason, sighed deeply.
Still, what can you do? If I’m going to crack it, I’m going to crack it.
“all right. “Let’s go now.”
“Thank you.”
The spy left in a flash.
“Go all the way from the Rhett Guards to the Heavy Cavalry. “I’m going in the opposite direction.”
“Okay, I’m leaving now.”
“Give me the holy sword.”
“I will pick it up and run. To train.”
Sylvia chuckled.
“Okay, do whatever you want.”
The two split up and toured the barracks.
*
『Defend. 』
The numerous people gathered inside the tent of the makeshift cathedral fell silent.
I was looking at the huge stone slab placed on the platform.
God ordered us to defend ourselves. Just one sentence, without any further explanation.
The infantry division commander broke the silence.
“God, I don’t have the talent to endure.”
Ibischler, who was bowing down at the front, opened his mouth.
“······Is this all there is to revelation?”
One of the priests circling the stone slab nodded.
“That’s right. However, since there are still relics left to offer, we can ask God to reconsider.”
Ibischler raised his upper body. I shook my head and looked back.
Many believers bowed down. It included key personnel, including commanders of each unit.
The commander opened his mouth.
“I lost my confidence. Other than that you have to follow it. “If you have any differences of opinion, let me know.”
No one could say anything.
This is because the act of going against God’s commands was a terrible act of blasphemy.
It was quiet inside, except for a few people groaning.
Ibischler drew the arc.
“If you don’t have it, don’t make any faces. Isn’t it dawn? This is the name given by Taegwang to be the first to illuminate the sacred site, but it is so cruel that I can reveal it. “It will create a shadow.”
I took a quick look inside.
“Do you want to do that?”
Answers came from everywhere.
“Oh no.”
“There is no giving up.”
“Let’s defend until the end.”
Ibischler pulled out the holy sword.
“Then don’t crouch! “God is looking at your faces!”
With loud shouts, military executives began to stand up one by one.
I can’t back down now. Because my spirit has fallen. Now that it was like this, I had to fight, risking my life.
I will cut down my evil intentions and die violently.
The commanders shouted.
“Let’s eat breakfast in heaven!”
“Our task is not over!”
“God is watching!”
The infantry division commander also made up his mind.
Ibischler looked at the scene with satisfaction and said.
“Take care of your old money. It’s the devil’s eyeball. haha!”
There was a superstition that the currency of heaven was the devil’s eyeball.
Ibischler left the tent.
*
The sunlight that illuminated the world at sunset disappeared along the ridge. Only a faint glimmer was left behind.
Under the thick twilight, the wilderness was redder than blood. The reeds swayed drearily, and the cold wind blew past the power lines, carrying anxiety.
The Dawn Legion was facing rampant malice.
The 2nd legion of demons encroaching on the horizon. From the high ground we climbed, the dense numbers were much more visible to the eye.
A giant spider blinked its eight eyeballs. The rotten flesh was waving around the rusty kitchen knife, and the withered old woman was constantly coughing up vomit.
A terrible ghostly sound crossed the plain.
The long spear infantry, which was at the forefront of the first line, began to tremble in fear.
Will the iron fence and phalanx formation really protect us? I didn’t think so. If the black one-eyed giants hit you with their maces, the battle line will collapse in an instant.
The ghost horse riders will dig into the collapsed formation and attack the inside. The skeletal horse will trample on the humans and crush them.
This was something I had experienced several times while fighting high altitude battles.
Today the situation was worse than usual. The number of troops was reversed.
This is because 1,500 people were missing from Dawn, but 5,000 joined the 2nd Corps.
The odds of winning were low.
The heavy infantry commander kissed the seal.
“God, please give us the strength to judge evil.”
Prayers were heard from everywhere. A strange harmony was created by mixing with the ear-voiced sounds.
The situation was similar for the cavalry spread out as wings on the left and right of the Continental Army’s line.
Everyone was anxious.
Valkyrie Sylvia, the flag bearer of the right vanguard, patted Rhett on the back.
“What are you scared of?”
Rhett’s steed toured.
“I’m not scared.”
“lie.”
“I, I, praise the destruction of evil…”
“It’s done.”
Sylvia chuckled.
“Listen carefully. The moment the demons collide with the infantry, we run too. It can’t be any later or earlier. “It’s a battle of timing.”
Rhett swallowed dry saliva and nodded.
Sylvia pointed to the rearguard of the 2nd Demon Corps.
“The goal is over there. Witches. “Let’s pierce his anus with the lance before he curses.”
The cavalrymen lined up on both sides chuckled slightly at Sylvia’s joke. My anxiety went away just a little bit.
Valkyrie continued.
“What comes next is the most important. Getting out. Acceleration will decrease after charging. Don’t go too deep. It’s over once you’re isolated. Hmm… I think I’m just looking at the surface. “It keeps spinning and gnawing away.”
“Don’t worry about that. “I won’t make a mistake.”
“Okay, finally.”
Sylvia smiled slightly.
“Let’s fight like there’s no tomorrow.”
Sylvia raised a 4.5m long lance.
At the same time, the cavalry let out a thunderous roar.
Wow!
Immediately after they shouted, their expressions were colored with puzzlement.
This is because their shouts were drowned out by much louder voices.
They all turned their heads at once. In the direction the shout came from.
Humans were shouting in the battle lines far to the left. It was not a forced morale, but a roar that came from within.
“What…”
Immediately after, I saw the approaching darkness.
A crimson twilight was flooding the night.
Thick darkness came in, swallowing up the sunset.
It was a polar night coming from the west.
Someone chanted.
“Baekyang…”
As the darkness got closer, the shouts got louder.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!
One by one, pure white radiance began to bloom in a place immersed in darkness. They were consecrating the power of God.
As Rhett was staring blankly at the scene, a gust of wind rushed past him.
The moment his hair fluttered, the left front line was also buried in the polar night.
Taekwang has passed.
Rhett’s body vision could not match Fenrir’s.
I belatedly looked up at the sky. The pure white sun blazing brightly. He was making his presence known alone in the brief.
Everyone roared like animals.
“God is with you!”
“Let’s trample on the evil!”
“Build evil—!”
The white sheep spread its brilliance. A huge burning spear was stuck in the center of the demon 2nd legion.
It was as if he was telling me to rush.
Sylvia lowered her visor (face helmet).
He aimed the lance straight ahead.
Rhett stuttered and opened his mouth.
“Ah, the battle lines are still in contact…”
Sylvia drew an arc inside the helmet.
“Forget everything I said earlier. I’m with God.”
The cavalrymen all lowered their posture.
“In times like this, I just leave.”
At the same time, the war horses advanced.
Thousands of lights raced through the polar night like meteors crossing the universe.
