RUST -651
St. Andrews Church was first founded in 1818 and built on its present site in 1865.
[···It is said that in the past in the West, churches were built before town halls or city halls.]
“······.”
Not knowing the geography and characteristics of Montreal, I decided to get help from Ki-sun’s assistant AI, but this guy was somehow quite excited.
[···Although the size of the church is large, the Church of Saint Andrews is considered the oldest and most beautiful religious facility, and is considered to be the Cathedral of Notre-Dame-de-bon Secours.]
‘Notre? France? No way?’
“Notre-Dame in France?”
The assistant AI’s tone rose, perhaps pleased that Maru, who had been quietly listening, had asked a question.
[Yes, that’s right. The cathedral that was built in a similar way to the Notre Dame Basilica in France is the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal, built in 1829.]
‘There’s a cathedral in Montreal that looks like the Notre Dame Cathedral in France?’
At the assistant AI’s answer, Maru stopped walking and hid himself in the thick shadows. Although the stealth function was activated, it was effective to use the shadows like this when not moving.
To be honest, it happened because many cathedrals built at that time had similar shapes, but Maru thought differently.
‘There is a cathedral that has ‘Notre’ in its name and a cathedral that looks similar to Notre Dame in France, but is it in the church of St. Andrews instead?’
The women brought from France were from the western region of France. Historically, the western region of France was a place where many Catholics lived.
Among the tales and stories surrounding the neighborhood, there are one or two stories related to Catholic saints. Above all, there was a woman in France who was famous as a national hero.
‘Joan of Arc’
It was most likely inspired by Joan of Arc.
If he wanted to win over the hearts of the French people by claiming he had heard the voice of God, he would have focused on Catholic elements, not Protestant ones.
then.
‘pitfall···.’
The story about the church being in the Protestant church of St. Andrews was a trap. It would be easier to turn the church into a sea of blood than the cathedral into a sea of blood.
I thought it was strange that the regular soldiers and mercenaries knew the location. When I thought of it as a trap, my guess was perfect.
[Would you like me to change your location to the cathedral?]
“No. I’m going to the Anduris Church just like this.”
Since it was a trap he created, he’ll come see the results.
[We will keep the location information as is.]
On Maru’s HUD screen, the arrows indicating direction became darker.

bang!
“What does a prostitute who came from the mainland say? Is it God’s will?”
“Lisa- (Ah) Calm down (Aaeng)-”
A woman with short hair and a black leather jacket next to her nodded at the smaller woman.
“Didn’t I tell you not to make that noise?”
“No- (Eung)- My voice is originally like this- (Eung)-”
A small woman made a slightly muffled sound, a mixture of nasal and rolling sounds, and had a look of resentment on her face.
The leather jacketed woman found Putain (Fuck) looking exactly like the baby raccoon when he had that damned look on his face.
The philosopher who said that God is dead was German, but it was the French who chose to live without God. There were many closed cathedrals and churches in France. As immigrants came in, many cathedrals and churches were converted into mosques.
But then suddenly you hear the voice of God?
If you heard the voice of God, you would rather live in peace with cannibals in mainland France than come across the sea and purify Montreal?
What you’re doing is taking advantage of the soldiers and mercenaries? Did the god who gave you his voice tell you to sell your body?
In a world like today, it was nothing new to see men being stripped of their clothes. However, if this was considered an industry, shouldn’t there be at least some business ethics?
If the bitches who rolled in had settled down and formed a commune, there would have been no reason for them to clash with each other. If only these bitches hadn’t openly tried to mess with our rice bowls.
“Let’s get the bitch in at once, they said she’s in St. Andrew’s Church.”
This was a golden opportunity, as the location of the bitch who had been hiding behind the meat shield of the tasteless bitches was revealed.
“I agree. We still have the advantage, but if we continue to bring in refugees from the mainland like we are doing now, the tables may turn.”
“What is that idiot governor doing? Even if you bring him in, you should bring him in moderation. Moderately. Are you a punk who doesn’t even know supply and demand?”
As the leather jacket woman exploded in anger, a light laugh was heard.
“Do you want the Governor to take care of this business as well?”
“If you’re the governor, shouldn’t you know what’s going on in Montreal? Then you should intervene and sort things out. You’re just selling your body, so you don’t care whether they kill each other or not.”
The woman with a faint smile stroked the head of the woman who was looking at her with a face as drowsy as a baby raccoon. Most people don’t like having their hair touched, but the little woman looked like she liked it for some reason.
“What is forbidden in the Holy Kingdom?”
Although everything adults could freely choose was permitted, there were some items that were heavily regulated and punished.
The most representative example is the pharmaceutical field. Even if a drug is used for medical purposes, if misuse or abuse is discovered, it is disposed of under a zero-tolerance principle.
“If you look at the way they act about getting rid of drugs, you can see that they are hypocrites. Is it okay to give combat stimulants to soldiers? There are plenty of guys who get errors after using them, but getting rid of them just because they used a little bit while doing a good deed is just hypocritical.”
“Anyway. If the Governor moves, we’ll be the ones to suffer. Do you understand?”
The woman in the leather jacket screamed.
“So? Why are you suddenly talking about drugs after talking about a prostitute who heard the voice of God? What do you want me to do? Are you going to push it or not?”
The woman with the faint smile had unsmiling eyes.
“When we get rid of that woman, we don’t have to shed our blood.”
“What the hell are you talking about···.”
Bye!
The jacket woman jumped up and went outside. The little raccoon woman who was watching her spoke to the woman who was smiling faintly with worried eyes.
“What if Lisa does something again (Ong)?”
“No way. I think you would have understood even if I said it like that.”
If she wasn’t able to figure that out, she would have died a long time ago.
“Then should we try leaking information to the Governor-General’s Office?”
A cult claiming to hear the voice of God has taken up residence in the Church of St. Andrews and is planning to commit human sacrifice while under the influence of drugs.

Ki-soon checked the materials from the envelope that someone had thrown into the city hall.
Starting with a photo of heavily armed women driven mad by drugs, and then a video showing a group of women fainting and having fits as one woman begins to give a sermon or a speech.
“I’m going to turn around. Connect me to the king.”
[The communication is bad. Would you like to send it as a text message?]
“Yes. An anonymous tip came in saying that there is a cult at the Church of St. Andrews that is hosting drug parties and human sacrifices, so I think we should send in the military. Scanned data included.”
[Delivered.]
It was a quick assistant AI. It was supposed to support Maru, but it seemed to be focusing its computing power on that, so its response speed was fast.
“Is the King well?”
[No one. Should we prepare the troops?]
“Get ready first.”
[Excluding border troops, there are 594 troops available for mobilization. Would you like to mobilize all of them?]
“Yes. And let’s add mercenaries. Let’s fill it up to 700 people in total. Preferably with strong abilities.”
[All right.]

Maru was monitoring the situation from the building next to St. Andrews Church.
[We have received a report from the city. We will send you the relevant information via text and photos.]
The content was shocking.
‘Drugs and human sacrifice in social cults?’
Judging from the photos that appeared to have been taken inside the church, it suggested that it was either an internal whistleblower or a spy from the opposing side. Why was this tip coming in now of all times?
‘Do you see these?’
This side was leaking information to lure the enemy and aim for an ambush and destruction, while the other side was trying to kill them with a borrowed sword by borrowing the help of the Governor-General without using their own hands.
‘If we continue like this, the punitive force will fall into a trap.’
“Can you contact the Governor?”
[The connection is a bit poor, but I can connect you. Would you like me to connect you?]
“Please.”
[Connecting communication.]
After a while, Ki-sun’s voice was heard.
[Chijijik- Hey. You said you couldn’t connect because of poor communication? Chiiik-]
[Communication established.]
[Chiiik- Are you changing your tune? Chiiiik-]
“Has the punitive force departed?”
[Chiiik- No. Waiting. Beep-]
“Yeah? Good. Looking at the current situation, it seems like they’re trying to use us.”
[Beep- I thought it was strange that I suddenly got a tip after being quiet until now. Chiik- Then what should I do? If I miss it now, I’ll have to catch it when the weather clears up. Chick-]
“No need to waste time. How many people are waiting?”
[Beep- 700 people.]
[Radio interference is increasing. The connection may be lost.]
“I’ll send you a text message with the ambush location. Take care of the guys lying in wait first. I’ll take care of the inside.”
[Beep—- Got it. Cheeeeek-]
[The connection has been lost. Would you like to switch to text?]
“Let’s send an ambush point and start the mop-up operation in 30 minutes. We can get into position in 30 minutes, right?”
[Content has been delivered.]
“Okay. Can you tell me how many people are in the church?”
[Sorry, all nearby CCTVs have been destroyed, so we cannot estimate the number of people.]
“okay?”
Maru’s mouth was bitter. The people in Montreal and those he had brought from France were all people he had saved.
Not only were the people who had tried so hard to save each other killing each other, but they were even using the military to commit murder.
What was most disturbing was that among the women rescued in France, there were some crazy women. And they were trying to gather power by claiming to be the voice of God.
Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, claiming to have heard the voice of God was a very dangerous claim in the Holy Kingdom.
When I arrived in Montreal, Canada from France, one of the educational materials I used to teach people the essentials they needed to know to live in the Holy Kingdom included one about the HOLLY Church.
The problem was that they talked about the voice of God, even though they knew that the sect believed that the Holy Kingdom King Vladimir Kalin was the agent, savior, and incarnation of God. It meant that the liver had come out of the stomach, or that they were confident in some way.
Regardless of religious or political issues, it would be a courtesy to think about working hard and living if you are saved from becoming food for cannibals.
They threw away their gratitude and went into the shadows to fight over a bowl of rice, but they were killing each other, and now they are even showing their religious and political colors.
‘That’s too bad.’
As soon as Maru decided on the disposal, he moved. Landing silently like a cat, Maru started running towards the Church of St. Andrews.
Leaving behind the wires strung here and there, my body kicked off the frozen road and flew up as if defying gravity.
The church I entered was in full swing. The male to female ratio was about 2:8. They all looked like they were out of their minds, probably from taking drugs.
On the huge screen, which did not match the interior of the old-fashioned church, was an image of a young woman with brilliant platinum hair and blue eyes speaking loudly.
[The world has been judged···.]
[···God said, Daughter, I have heard your prayer, and you will awaken your power.]
[To save France, we must first recover Montréal. We must consecrate it according to God’s will.]
[Defeating the demons that rule the sinful city of Montreal···]
[God has commanded us to save our sisters and brothers in France.]
In the midst of the madness of the insane, Maru looked at the projector. A long wire was pointed toward one corner.
‘front?’
Maru remembered the wires that had caught his eye before he entered the church.
If it was a wire that had been put out in advance, it would have been buried in the snow, but the fact that it was exposed means that it was buried after the snow piled up.
Tadak-
The floor outside the church ran along the wires. The wires led to the building next to the church.
Beep beep beep-
The red biometrics on the HUD sensor indicated that the main door was inside. Maru approached the corner of the building and pulled out Eclipse.
Woo-wooooong-
Let’s drive the Eclipse’s blade into the outer wall of the building, which reacts even without firing a shot.
Kukduk
The outer wall of the building was breached with a sound like a cleaver cutting raw chicken.
