Episode 192. leading to death (2)

Sujeong let out a trembling voice. It was an extremely rare event for an angel to appear voluntarily without even a summoning ceremony.

Because it means that God is watching this place and this time.

‘Who is it? Is it a lion knight? Wizard? lady?’

As the names of all kinds of famous angels passed through Bilon’s mind, the angel who took over Lyanna’s body turned its eyes and stared at Bilon.

“Get away with it, you idiot.”

Damn. At the same time, the crystal shattered and the Lumiard was thrown out. Lumiad was stuck in front of Billon’s nose. Villon noticed that her gloves were strong enough to handle the cold emanating from the Lumiad.

The crystal was the power of an angel, not Lumiard.

Bilon finally guessed the identity of his opponent.

“lady. Are you Nimlot, Lady of the Lake?”

“Who told you to use your mouth as you please?”

At one simple word, Billon fell headfirst to the floor. She didn’t even know what had hit her. An angel of another faith would not have been able to do this, but Bilon was still an Elil believer. He said that angels were able to exert absolute influence over believers of the same faith.

Nimlot said, looking down at Bilon.

“Even though I hurt my favorite child, the reason I keep you dead bastards alive is because there is still use to you.”

Nimlot said, staring coldly at Billon and his cavalry.

“good. There are people who threaten the Holy Land. Go kill each other or something. If you are still alive after that, commit suicide. “If you can’t commit suicide, you can go to the far east.”

Bilon could not understand Nimlot’s words. The way she spoke said that she recognized them as subscribers to the death insurance of the Buddhist Order. However, instead of executing him summarily, she told him to go to the Holy Land. Even though she will bring unclean beings into the shrine.

‘Ethelred and the Holy Grail Knights who are currently going to the Holy Land are more threatening than the Immortal Church?’

Bilon could not understand its meaning. He has claimed that ‘it is the Aldeon army that threatens the Holy Land of Elion’, but in fact, he did not really think so.

Rather, he just changed his target thinking that it was the Buddhist cult within him.

My thoughts became complicated, but I couldn’t think about it anymore. Because Nimlot’s words whipped them even colder.

“good.”

Bilon stood up like a jerk. At the same time, the cavalrymen also began to move.

Nothing has changed. Although it wasn’t possible to turn Lyanna into an undead, Lumiad alone is enough.

The Holy Sword is the key to the Holy Land, so you can defeat the Holy Grail Knight with the power of the Immortal Church.

At that time, a cavalryman was heard shouting.

“The Aldeon army is approaching!”

Bilon gritted his teeth.

The Aldeon army that had fought in the Plains of Heron pursued them and finally returned to Elion Fortress. Whether it was Nimlot’s order or revenge, he couldn’t fight with Aldeon’s army attached to his tail when he had to rush to the Holy Land.

He had no choice but to cross the line deeper once again.

Bilon took off the gloves that protected his hands and held the Lumiad with his bare hands. The cold spread through his hands, arms, and shoulders and soon reached his head and heart. The moment the bitter cold touched his heart, Bilon felt that a contract he had been putting off for a long time was finally being concluded.

His heart slowly stopped, and a strange force flowed through his frame.

Elil, who had been with him his whole life, was no longer by his side.

What they got in return was time to fight for hundreds or thousands more years.

In that time, I will be able to gain enough honor to wash away this dishonor.

“Get up.”

Bilon’s eyes flashed dark black and he gave an order.

To the countless bodies that were kept in storage during the war without being able to afford a funeral.

The boundaries between life and death began to blur throughout Elion Fortress. The power to redeem the dead crept up from the ground and raised the dead.

Death insurance subscribers can become undead with their original selves and abilities, but those who do not are reduced to lowly zombies. However, what Billon needed now were meat shields without ego.

“Make sure no one comes over Aldeon Fortress.”

“Advance to Aldeon Fortress!”

Morse led the soldiers and ran at the forefront. He was exhausted because he had run non-stop from the Plains of Heron to this place with only the Knights of Aldeon, but a strange enthusiasm and excitement were moving him.

Finally, this damn civil war will end. With victory!

Billon, who led Georg’s army, escaped in miserable condition. Because the struggle was quite severe, there was quite a bit of damage, but this was a complete victory. Now all that remains is Elion Fortress. If Isaac’s plan was successful, it would be virtually empty.

“We will surrender as soon as we break through the gate… … .”

bang. In an instant, Morse’s vision flipped and he fell over. His words had tripped over something. Morse was momentarily dizzy when he saw the knights running in front of him, but fortunately he was able to avoid being crushed to death as they parted like the tide.

Delfrik rushed over and helped her.

“General! Are you okay?”

“Okay. “But what is this?”

At first I thought I had tripped over a corpse. But his horse, which had a broken leg, was caught in his hand, which had protruded from under him. While the situation was not yet understood, embarrassing shouts and screams began to erupt from all over the place.

“What? Did Georg’s cavalry counterattack?”

“General! General!”

Reina Hild suddenly lunged at him and slashed his sword in front of his nose. The moment the words “murder her boss” flashed through her mind, Reina stuck her hand into the ground and pulled something out of her.

It was a zombie that had been pierced from the top of its head to its chin.

Reina and Morse were both shocked at the sight.

“An ambush under the ground! “Are you crazy people, Georg!”

“Well, what is this…” … “Reina, this is undead!”

Morse was amazed by Rayna’s imagination, but it was natural that the young people here, who were far from the Immortal Church, did not know about the undead. However, like a seasoned veteran, Morse immediately thought of the Immortal Order.

It was also because I had already heard it from Isaac. There may be an immortal cult in Georg’s cavalry.

But now the situation was happening all over the battlefield. Most of the corpses found on the battlefield were recovered, but there were also cases where they were buried in the mud created by the rainy season or trampled and could not be found. What was even worse was what was happening in the burial grounds near the battlefield.

At the rear, zombies began to emerge from the forest where the corpses were buried. Even in Aldeon Fortress, moving corpses wandered around, clumsily holding bows and spears.

“Undead! It’s undead! “The Georg guys are running the undead!”

A knight shouted like a scream.

Morse felt a chill down his spine at the meaning of those words. The moment the pagans intervene, the nature of this war completely changes. A massacre or a war of annihilation.

The problem was that it seemed like they would be wiped out before they even got there.

The amount of damage varies depending on how well you know how to deal with the undead. And in the Kingdom of Elil, there are only a handful of knights who know how to deal with the undead.

“To Elion Fortress! Go to Elion Fortress! Resist there!”

Fighting the undead in the exposed wilderness was suicidal. Morse hurriedly led his soldiers and headed to Elion Fortress. But his eyes became wet with despair. The gates of Elion Fortress were tightly closed. At this rate, I was going to die clinging to the wall.

At that moment, a miracle unfolded before his eyes.

The gate suddenly began to open.

“Come this way!”

The person who opened the wide open door was Rabad Georg, a knight covered in blood.

Morse rushed in without any time to doubt his intentions. Afterwards, the Aldeon knights came rushing in. Morse thanked the young knight who opened the gate.

“Thank you, thank you.”

“There is no need to be thankful. “We also tried to survive.”

Rabad smiled bitterly and pointed inside the castle. Morse noticed that the situation inside the fortress was not much different from outside. Even inside the fortress, the knights were fighting fiercely with the corpses, and even except for the area around the castle gate, it seemed to be under siege.

Among them, only Rabad and some knights risked their lives and managed to break through the undead and open the castle gate.

“What about outside?”

“It’s worse.”

Morse answered, remembering the number of undead flooding in from outside. And he came up with a new hypothesis. Bilon may not have simply burned the villages and evacuated the residents, forcing them to take refuge in the citadel. His hypothesis was that the reason there were no bodies was because they had already been buried somewhere.

“Let’s think about it later. “Fighting is more urgent now!”

Without any time to rest, the Aldeon knights began confronting or killing the undead together with Georg’s knights. The addition of the Aldeon Knights allowed the Georg Knights to take a breather, but it did not improve much.

Thousands of zombies were flocking outside the castle, and it was difficult to survive inside the castle, let alone protect Ethelred.

Morse saw that and realized that the war was completely over.

Although it wasn’t what he wanted.

Instead, the end of the war was turning into a new war.

It was a war between the living and the dead.

At that sight, Morse’s heart began to pound. Soon, hearty laughter broke out.

“ha ha ha! These guys feel no guilt even if they kill! “You’re the best!”

He was already tired of killing his fellow believers and compatriots. Meanwhile, the Songzhangs, caught up in the evil pagan magic, were easy enemies.

Elil’s miracle permeated my tired and tired body.

“Elil! “I take your call!”

Morse immediately jumped into the battlefield.

***

“Then this civil war was promoted by the Immortal Cult?”

Ethelred asked Isaac on the bridge leading to the Holy Land.

Although they had already heard about the Immortal Cult’s intervention from Isaac, they couldn’t help but feel depressed when they thought that they were part of the Cult’s conspiracy.

They thought they were fighting for a noble purpose and honor, but they were nothing more than someone else’s chess piece.

But Isaac shook his head.

“no. The civil war is already in your hands. “It was not ordered by anyone or encouraged by anyone.”

“But the Immortal Cult… … .”

“The Buddhist Order was just one of the tools. Immortality is a high risk, but it is a useful tool. The Immortal Emperor Beshek would not care at all if his religion was treated that way. “He is satisfied as long as the number of undead increases.”

Just as those driven by desire are tempted by the Red Holy Grail, those who fear death are drawn to the Immortal Church. This is especially true for Elil believers who constantly face repeated duels at the crossroads of life and death.

The Buddhist Order cunningly tells the soldiers of the Dawn Army who are in crisis that they will save their lives this time if they sign up for death insurance. The bait is that cancellation is possible at any time.

At first, policyholders accept the offer with the intention of canceling it right away.

However, there is nothing more fascinating than the power of immortality when the weak fight against the strong.

In the end, Billon was also swayed by that temptation.

“But isn’t this because the Immortal Cult also has something to gain from this fight? As the number of corpses increases after a fight, the number of soldiers of the Immortal Cult will also increase. Or maybe you were investing in the possibility that Georg’s rebels would win? Just as Emperor Waldzemer sent you, to turn the Kingdom of Elil to the side of the Black Empire!”

Ethelred shouted as if she was excited by her own words.

Isaac laughed bitterly at his words.

Unfortunately, Isaac did not tell the whole truth. This young king knows no real fear. Of course, the Immortal Church has its own goals. How would they react if they found out that, in fact, they don’t even care about civil war?

Of course, it would be nice if the knights of Elil Kingdom kill each other, but it is not important.

Their real purpose was in the Holy Land.

Isaac could not speak carelessly, because if he revealed the purpose, Ethelred would realize what the real fear was.
