Episode 257 82. Mad Warrior (3)

5.

The rumor spread like wildfire.

It’s already been a week since the clash between Charon and the Inquisitor.

What is Caron’s current situation?

“Yongsaniim! Please save the Holy Kingdom!”

“Saint Seria! Please free the suffering people!”

“For the bright light!”

“For the bright light!”

I was on my way to the castle with a large number of pilgrims.

The number of people heading to the castle with Caron and his party had already exceeded two thousand.

Charon nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the spectacle he had created.

“This is the bomb train. What is the bomb train?”

“… … Lord Caron. No matter how I think about it, the plan to use the people doesn’t seem right.”

“Saint.”

“yes.”

“Then don’t make me a warrior.”

“……ah.”

“Why did you do that? What good would it do if you regretted it after the bet was done? No, honestly, this is a much more peaceful way than killing everyone and leaving. Don’t you think so?”

Seria had no choice but to accept Caron’s logic. She slowly turned her gaze and looked at the people following the carriage that Caron and his party were riding in.

People wearing various types of clothing.

Some were wearing tattered clothes, while others were wearing fancy clothes.

In the Holy Kingdom, there is no hierarchy except for the clergy.

However, those who were rich and those who were poor were divided. As a result, class conflicts were quite serious even within the Holy Kingdom.

But there was no conflict on this ‘Caron Train’.

Everyone was united in one accord and chanted the names of Charon and Seria.

“Freedom from sin… … .”

“Ohhh! The power of brilliant light!”

Those who boarded the ‘Caron Train’ even sang hymns as they moved forward.

And that’s not all.

“Protect the warrior and the saint!”

“Give your life! The light will guide us!”

Countless paladins joined voluntarily.

This brought together over 200 paladins, as well as warrior priests.

Those who gathered together solely for the sake of being warriors and great saints.

As we passed each parish, the size of the place grew at an incredible rate.

“That’s why I feel like a warrior. I like it when people are interested in me.”

Caron nodded happily as he looked out the carriage window. Then Leo, who was chewing on jerky next to him, sighed and said.

“When did you say you dreamed of being a loser?”

“The warrior will soon be ruined.”

“Lord Charon, a warrior is never a loser. He is someone who carries out the will of God… … .”

“A person who goes around beheading corrupt priests by God’s will. If that’s not a scoundrel, then what is?”

“Mr. Caron.”

“Why, Your Majesty?”

“I want to punch you in the face.”

A man who tests even the most patient saint.

That was Caron.

Charon waved his hand lightly at the saint’s words, then smiled brightly and said.

“You’re going to punch the person who came to help you in the face? I think a saint would need to be merciful… … . Keuuuck!”

Phew! Phew!

At that moment, Leon, who was sitting next to Charon, took the saint’s place and punched Charon in the side.

“If you keep teasing the saint, you will be punished by heaven.”

“I don’t like the punishment from heaven.”

“But why am I receiving the punishment in your stead?”

“Sister, are you being punished these days?”

“It’s a divine punishment for me to hang out with you, you crazy bastard.”

“Sister Leon is right. What sin did we commit in our past life to be hanging out with you… .”

Seria let out another deep sigh as she listened to the fantastic banter between her three cousins.

I don’t know how the future of the Holy Land came to depend on these three people.

But one thing was certain.

‘The light led them here.’

Everything is meant to be light.

Caron also came here.

And also became a warrior.

God reveals fate in the name of chance, so she thought there must be a light purpose to all this.

So then what should you do?

‘… … I have to help as much as I can.’

You should let Charon do what he wants. You shouldn’t interfere with him. The Great Saintess is only there to help the hero, and she shouldn’t control him.

Seria repeated to herself like that and strengthened her resolve.

Fortunately, there has been no bloodshed since the first clash.

“Do you know why they don’t send more troops?”

Charon snatched a piece of Leo’s jerky and spoke to the saintess. Ceria shook her head.

“I do not know.”

“This is why taking the initiative is important.”

Four seven-star power players died.

On the other hand, Caron and his party were completely fine. It would be difficult for them to figure out the power that Caron and his party possessed.

Saint Elijah, that wicked and clever fellow, would probably guess that Charon might have reached the 8th star.

There, the so-called ‘hero group’ is receiving overwhelming support from the people of the Holy Kingdom, that is, the subjects.

The propaganda and fabrication that Caron had planned worked amazingly.

“But to be honest, I didn’t know it would have this much of an effect.”

The effect Charon wanted was simply to divide the Holy Kingdom from within.

But I didn’t know that the people would respond so actively.

“I guess that means the saint was loved by that many people.”

It’s probably the result of a number of coincidences.

The loss of public support that occurred during the preparation of the temple.

And Saint Seria, who was receiving overwhelming support.

There was even a rumor that a saint was attacked by a strange man and almost died.

All of these elements combined can produce a tremendous synergy effect.

“Thanks to you, we will be able to enter the city with ease.”

With this level of ripple effect, it is inevitable that there will be major problems in preparing for the temple.

What makes the Holy Kingdom different from other nations is that, ultimately, this is a place where ‘faith’ is of the utmost importance.

The ‘warrior’ and the ‘great saint’ are the statuses that can stand at the pinnacle of that faith.

“Let’s give him some proper candy.”

Caron smiled bitterly.

There are only 4 hours left until the castle. You can enter the castle in 4 hours.

No one was blocking the way forward.

“The size of the bomb has been increased, so the castle will probably be turned upside down.”

As you enter the Saint Eden, you will be greeted with a warm welcome by many people.

Someone will reach out with a hidden knife, and someone will gladly lend a hand.

The pretext was already here.

“Restoring the Pope is the first goal.”

In reality, he had to rescue the Pope, who was imprisoned in the palace, so that he could be officially appointed as a warrior and wield his sword freely.

Caron decided to put aside his greed for a moment while waiting for that moment.

“Everyone, get some rest. The saintess, get some shut-eye too. You haven’t been able to sleep at all lately, have you?”

“I’m fine… … .”

“Drrrrrr.”

As Caron closed his eyes and fell asleep in an instant, Seria looked at his face and smiled bitterly.

‘it will work out somehow.’

It was Seria who learned an optimistic attitude from Charon.

So the carriage they were riding ran diligently towards the saint.

6.

The human train led by Caron and his party finally entered the city.

The walls of the city were more than Charon had expected.

High walls.

The walls were covered in a pure white light, perhaps because the priests had given their blessing.

“It will definitely be sturdy.”

It was a city that looked more like a fortress than any of the empire’s border cities.

In addition, the walls were lined with well-armed elite soldiers.

They looked down on Charon and his party from the top of the wall.

“Caron. What if you don’t open the door?”

When Leo asked casually, Caron nodded with his arms crossed.

“I didn’t expect that.”

“hey.”

“Just going through the door… … .”

The moment when Caron and Leo were about to discuss countermeasures.

Kuuuung-!

The gates of the castle opened spontaneously with a loud noise.

Caron smiled faintly as he watched the door open.

“But you still have a sense of humor. It doesn’t seem like you have any intention of stopping it.”

Currently, the saint is in the hands of the Truth Research Society. However, opening the door means that they have decided to accept Caron and his group.

Now, we are not in a situation where we have been taken away by the Inquisitor.

It means that it is a very symbolic situation where he enters the city on his own, leading numerous believers and troops.

But they let me in so easily?

It seemed clear that there was something going on.

But Caron had no intention of backing down in this situation.

“If you tell me to come in, I have to let you in.”

It didn’t really matter what he had prepared. Originally, a conspiracy was only thrilling when it was blatantly destroyed.

“Come on in.”

Charon spoke to the coachman who was driving the carriage, and the coachman nodded with an impressed expression.

“Yes! Warrior! I am so happy to be a part of such a glorious moment! I will live my life cherishing this moment! I love you, Warrior!”

“……haha.”

Leaving everything else aside, I don’t think I’ll be able to adapt to this atmosphere of the Holy Kingdom.

Right away.

So the carriage passed through the gate and entered the castle.

And at that moment.

“Waaaaaaaaaah!”

“You are a warrior! You are a saint!”

As countless pollen particles flew, cheers from countless citizens poured out.

A cheer so loud that the ground shook.

This was a level of hospitality I honestly did not expect.

“Please get off, Caron.”

The saint rose from her seat.

“We must repay the cheers of the people.”

“Oh, that’s a little embarrassing.”

“Come on.”

“Yes, yes.”

Charon pretended to be defeated and slowly got out of the carriage. Then, he soon saw a large number of his subjects.

They were welcoming Caron and his party, all waving pure white flowers.

The sight of the petals fluttering in the wind was extremely beautiful. It was a cloudless day, so the sunlight was shining warmer than ever.

-… … Has the owner ever been welcomed this way? I feel sick.

Guillotine grumbled.

Caron had never experienced this level of hospitality in his life, not even in his past life.

“Wave your hand.”

Seria, who was standing behind Caron, whispered in a small voice, and Caron smiled awkwardly and waved his hand.

“Yes, yes, it’s me. This is warrior Caron.”

Putting iron plates on faces was Caron’s specialty.

Leo and Leon, who got out of the carriage following Caron, also added a word.

“Ugh. Sister. I think I’m going to throw up. Look at Caron’s expression.”

“People here still don’t know this crazy guy very well, so they’re acting like this. Let’s just endure it.”

“Poor people… … .”

Caron lightly ignored the words of his two cousins. Then he shouted in a very loud voice.

“Hello! Citizens of the Holy Land! Thank you so much for your welcome!”

He put magic power into his voice. Then, Charon’s voice spread out in all directions.

“Wow!”

“Wow!”

The cheering grew louder.

Caron looked at the sight and smiled happily.

‘I don’t think even the most successful actor in the empire’s capital would be able to do this.’

Certainly, the title of warrior is a good one.

While Charon was enjoying their attention, Leo spoke to Leon in a subtle way.

“Sister Leon. Let me guess what Caron is thinking right now.”

“say it.”

“You’re probably thinking of causing a big accident later on. You’re probably going to say something like, ‘There’s nothing more certain than falling from a great height.’”

It was accurate.

Caron let out a small exclamation as he listened to Leo’s words.

“Surely, you know me too well, brother.”

“Of course… … .”

“Brother. Do you want to go later? I’ll push you.”

“Please, Caron? Please.”

“You will be a great head of the household.”

Leo grabbed the hem of Caron’s clothes as Caron burst into laughter.

As they were joking around and slowly moving forward, a group of knights began to approach from afar.

At the very front of the knights was someone Charon knew.

The people retreated quickly, and soon arrived in front of Caron’s party.

“It’s been a while, Caron Reston. Oh, I guess I should call you warrior now.”

A saint who collided near the southern Great Forest.

Elijah greeted Charon with a smile.

At that move, Charon nodded with a big smile, and whispered quietly in Elijah’s ear.

“Don’t act like you’re free, you cultist bastard. I’m here to cut off your balls.”

Charon’s first greeting was a declaration of war.

The mad dog wouldn’t tolerate it.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
