Chapter 284 – Wild Guys (6)
“Long time no see. Priest.”
After a smoother journey than we thought, we reached the plains. It was Felix Karin who greeted us towards the battlefield. She widened her eyes and blinked at the sight of my party following her. Elsie and Eve greeted Karin in a familiar way.
“Long time no see knight.”
“Yes. Nice to meet you Elsie. And Mrs. Peta.”
“He is also your wife.”
Eve said as she hugged Elsie tightly. Elsie, dragged into Eve, looked at Karin and nodded her head.
“Yes. I am also your wife.”
“…Ah yes.”
Karin nodded her head a beat later, as if she didn’t understand. As a kind and sincere woman, she seemed a bit incomprehensible when she said that she was the wife of both beastmen and mermaids. A.A got out of the carriage that followed. She was wearing her sword and a large gym bag. Karin looked at me and A.A. And said.
“The warrior is here too.”
Elsie nodded her head and pointed at A.A.
“My fifth wife.”
“No!”
Aye screamed. As a result, the eyes of the soldiers and knights around us were all focused on us. Among them were those who recognized our faces and whispered to us. Karin looked around her and pointed her finger at her barracks her.
“Would you like to come in? I will explain the details in the barracks.”
As Karin beckoned, her waiting soldiers began carrying their belongings. The soldier who took the bag from A.A. Made a noise and sat down. They seemed to carry our luggage straight to the lodging, so we were able to comfortably follow Karin into the barracks. A map lay in the barracks, and there was no one else besides her.
“Are there any others? I thought there would be people like Captain Albus.”
“Knight Commander Albus is currently at the front. I want to go out and fight with you, but since I belong to the Public Security Department, I can’t be far from the capital…”
Karin’s expression was full of regret. A.A. Was already checking her map her. There were three x marks on the map, and various family coats of arms were embedded in each region. It seemed to be her way of expressing the troops sent in support this way. Karin said.
“Instead, I am acting as a window for the reinforcements coming here, distributing them according to their location and sending them to the front.”
“Are we splitting up here too and being transferred to the unit?”
I pointed to the map and asked. On the map, members of the same family were distributed and organized. Karin shook her head at my question.
“First of all, I will briefly explain the current situation. Currently, there are 3 buildings of Saranggyo that we have confirmed: ‘Sarang Church Synagogue’, which is the headquarters of Saranggyo, mermaid trapping department, and beast trapping department buildings. Among them, Sarang Church has been occupied by zealous Sarang Church members holding weapons and fortifying the building, so additional siege troops have been requested.”
“What is the status of the capture stations?”
“Most of the expectations were that there were not many troops on alert or that the resistance would be weak, but when they entered, that…”
Looking at Elsie and Eve, she put on a slightly embarrassed expression. I guess I knew roughly what the reason was. Eve had heard the situation in the eastern plains too, so she brushed her hair once and frowned at her. Elsie asked, turning her head around among us.
“What. Is there something?”
“Is that a modified beast? You mean there was something like that? But did mermaids make something like that?”
“It is said that creatures presumed to be similar to it are roaming around. Because of this, the advance party that invested relatively few troops was destroyed, and the current situation is in a lull.”
At Eve’s question, Karin nodded her head. Elsie gnashed her teeth again at those words and her body her trembled. I had to calm her down because it was her face that wanted to attack her at any moment.
“Elsie, calm down.”
“She can’t calm down. Angry. I don’t know why she did that.”
“Then what do we do now? Are they treated as soldiers and transferred to other units?”
I didn’t deliberately bring troops from the territory. Our territory was sparsely populated, so it would be a fatal blow for the soldiers to search for something like this. Because it was much stronger for me to rush in alone than to drag a large army of soldiers. Karin shook her head.
“No. The hero and the priest, as special forces, would like you to take on the mission of assassinating Mayhem, the leader of the Sarang Church.”
“Assassination, is the location known?”
“According to the information obtained from the engagement with the patrols, the current leader, Mayhem, is instigating the congregation deep inside the Sarang Church to keep fighting. And there is a woman wearing a mask next to him, and we suspect that this woman is Evangeline.”
“Evangeline?”
If it was really Evangeline, this was an opportunity. A chance to do both things at once. In other words, it also meant that she had to fight her 8,000 year old magic love her. Can you win I rechecked our stats and weighed our possibilities. Humans have lived for 8,000 years, isn’t that enough to be dragon level already? Is it right for us to go in and fight among ourselves? Eve asked if she had read my expression.
“Groom. Were you scared?”
“I wasn’t scared.”
To Eve’s provocation, I firmly shook my head and replied. Eve laughed at my answer and nodded her head. She was a face that made fun of me without fail. A.A patted me on the shoulder and said.
“It’s okay. Priest. I will protect you.”
“No, I wasn’t scared.”
“I don’t think it will be that strong. Even Evangeline would know we were after her, but if she was really that strong, she would have eliminated us first. There is no reason to protest.”
That too was persuasive. If there was really a huge difference between us, Evangeline would have no reason to avoid us. If I had dragon-level powers, I would have gone straight to Evangeline and pulled her head off her. The fact that Evangeline was holding a sit-in right now meant that there was some reason why she couldn’t display her skills properly. Maybe the woman in that synagogue was just a woman dressed as Evangeline.
Don’t you know Doppelganger chewy is a cosplay sex, so I’m eating a woman with Evangeline cosplay every night. So I decided to put the thought of Evangeline aside for now.
“Then what about the number of people? Can all four of us rush in?”
“I will leave that to the judgment of the priest and the hero. Currently, our Knights’ mission is to break through the main gate of the Sarang Church and make it easier for the warrior’s party to enter. When the warrior’s group enters, we plan to confront Sarangkyo to minimize the sacrifices of Sarangkyo.”
“Minimize sacrifices… I am surprised.”
“Because I don’t know what kind of abilities Mayhem, the leader of the cult of love, she thinks that she should handle it carefully even when subduing the followers of her. The estimated number of people inside the synagogue is about 3,000, but isn’t it a waste to just kill these people? Sinners are also a great workforce.”
“Okay. Can we discuss the introductory part for a bit?”
“Yes. Please discuss thoroughly.”
Karin nodded her head and she said so. She went outside as if to give us time for a meeting. She asked her Eve as soon as Karin walked out.
“Groom. Are you okay?”
“Of course it is fine. Aren’t you scared?”
“But the priest has a slightly different feeling than usual.”
To be honest, I was a little scared. I also indirectly checked the doppelganger’s stats the other day, and there was also a cosplay whore next to me, Evangeline or something. What if Cutlass becomes stronger than last time and fools us? What if the hooker next to that bastard is really Evangeline, so when she goes in, she gets hit by a death beam and searches all over?
There was not one or two uneasy elements. Rather, A.A, who encouraged me with a calm expression that was no different from before, seemed strange. Why are you so anxious about something? Her strange uneasiness continued to tickle her chest. I shook my head and said.
“No. I’m not afraid. Elsie. You know?”
“I get it. Priest.”
Elsie believed me. It was closer to the sense of trust than believing. What. Do I look so anxious right now? Eve asked, sitting in her chair.
“Groom. Then what are you going to do? Are you going to find Evangeline and go to that Sarang Church together?”
“Is that right? 4v1 would be much easier than 2v1.”
There was no reason to rush in separately. Eve nodded her head, but Elsie looked a bit conflicted. I asked Elsie.
“Elsie. Do you want to go rescue the prisoners?”
The buildings of the mermaid capture squad and the mermaid capture squad were separated from the synagogue. It is said that there are modified beastmen in the beastman capture squad, so they must be bothered. Elsie said as she shook her head.
“I want to go rescue him, but I have to protect the priest. Because I-I am the fourth wife.”
“Honestly, I want to go rescue the other mermaids, but it’s better if the four of us go together and kill the beast quickly. That’s a quicker solution.”
Eve said so too. I looked at A.A. She also nodded her head.
“I guess that’s right. It would be better to run with the maximum number of people capable of fighting and see the match as soon as possible.”
“Then all four of us rush into the Sarang Church, right?”
Everyone nodded. I stuck my head out of the barracks and announced our plan. Coordinating the plan with Karin once again took some time. The plan so conceived was as follows. While the kingdom’s troops, including the knights, rushed into the synagogue and broke through the synagogue door, my party infiltrated the center using the synagogue’s byway. After cutting off the head of the cutlass waiting in the center, take the corpse and force the Love Cult to surrender, and you’re done.
“I hope it goes well.”
Eve said something like that, perhaps feeling anxious inside. In her hand was the terrifying magic sword that Dagon had given her. Ayy and I silently swept her weapon once to relax her. In a few days, the real war was to begin.
We tried hard to hide our nervous hearts and moved to the inn. A.A used a different hostel from me, so we faced a fork in the road. The moment she turns around. I said.
“Hero.”
“Yes?”
“Would you like to stay with me tonight?”
“Yes?”
She looked at me as if she was saying something. I said with sad eyes.
“When this battle is over, we may not see each other again.”
Eve looked at me with her stunning sweet face. A.A. Looked around her with her embarrassed face, pondered for a moment, and then she said,
“… Is it just this time?”
Operation success.
