Chapter 285 – Wild Guys (7)
The siege equipment brought up from the capital was something I had never actually seen before, although I had heard of it. Objects such as catapults and hammerheads with goat heads were emitting a bloody spirit, and a military parade was underway in the empty space in front of the barracks. I touched and admired the smooth head of the parrot.
“It is terrifying.”
“They are siege weapons supported by the North. This wave hammer is a new thing made in the North this time, and it has the name Nancy.”
“Nancy?”
It’s a name you’ve heard a lot, where did you hear it? For some reason, remembering it would give me a headache, so I decided to forget it. Next to the siege weapons were knights sharpening knives and servicing them. Karin had to go back to the capital as the siege weapons arrived, so she was packing her things her. She told me with a look of regret on her face.
“I have to give strength to the priest and warrior, but I’m sorry. Positions hold you back.”
“No. Karin. Because you helped me a lot.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
Karin said so and she bowed her head. I looked around once more. Ahead of the full-scale war, the atmosphere in the barracks was sharp as a whole. The knights were scanning all directions with sharp eyes, and the soldiers were joking with their hard faces and only the corners of their mouths raised.
Eve was swinging his sword in the air, holding on to his senses her, and A.A was warming up by lightly doing gymnastics. Elsie was dozing off her bed her, leaning against her fence, not showing any signs of her nervousness. I looked at Karin. She bit her lip and twisted her eyes as if she couldn’t get out of the barracks just before the war. Now it was time for me to crack a joke.
“What are you going to do when you get back?”
“First, I have to walk the dog. I’m afraid I may have forgotten my face, since we haven’t seen each other in months.”
“Did you have a dog?”
“Yes. I have about 4 of them.”
Why does she have images of Karin being dragged around by furry men on a leash? Obviously just dogs. I spoke again to clear the prejudices from her mind her.
“They must be cute dogs. I want to see you once. I also liked dogs when I was little.”
It wasn’t a lie. I really liked dogs when I was little. I couldn’t raise a dog because my family’s circumstances were not good enough, but I always wanted to raise a dog.
“That… If you get a chance later, it’s okay to come and see… I think.”
Karin said as she blushed slightly at my words and ran her fingers through her hair. I nodded her head and said.
“Thank you for the invitation. Karin. After this is over, if we have time, we will definitely go out to play. But what kind of dog do you have? Tosa dog?”
“…I don’t know why everyone thinks of Tosa dogs when I say I have a dog. I just have normal cute dogs.”
When Karin asked if I was a Taoist dog, she seemed a little offended. But I could not imagine her raising small dogs like Yorkshire Terriers and Chihuahuas. I thought I would raise a Doberman or a pit bull and use it to execute criminals.
The muster trumpet sounded. It meant it was time for us to part. It was time for me to go to the love school with A.A. And Karin to the capital city. I held out my hand and said.
“Then, let’s go see the dogs later.”
Karin hesitated for a moment, then she reached out her hand to me. I grabbed her hand her and shook it. Karin laughed and said.
“I hope you will come and see the dogs.”
“Do you think I might die?”
“There are few people who inspire me as much as the priest, so I worry a lot.”
I was that kind of person I laughed at her words and nodded her head.
“I will definitely go see you.”
She smiled brightly at my words and nodded her head. When I returned from the breakup, A.A asked me.
“Then, shall we go?”
The Legion was already moving far ahead of us. Since we are a rear penetration team, we needed to follow them at a distance. While the soldiers were trembling with fear at the gate, we looked at the map from a little further away and checked the invasion route once again.
“They said that the Sarang Church synagogue was not the original building, but a remodeled fortress at the end of the northeastern part. So, the data on the secret passages in the fortress were left in the kingdom, but after checking with the scouts, they said that the passages are still functioning.”
“I didn’t know there was a secret passage, it’s more lax than I thought.”
“It’s a secret passage that’s hard to find unless you’re the person who made it.”
The secret passages marked on the map had entrances some distance from the fortress. A.A. Added an explanation.
“It must have been a place created by nobles and leaders to escape. Personally, I think it would be convenient if we bumped into the bishop on our way…”
She also seemed to like the unexpectedly comfortable development. I nodded at her words her. It would have been better if the woman next to Cutlers was not Evangeline, but just a cosplay prostitute, and if Cutlass was an idiot who had high stats but couldn’t fight, she would be even better.
“Groom. You want to eat too raw.”
“It’s good to be comfortable. I wish I could go to that fucking entrance and see the cutlass lying on the floor and gasping.”
“Priest. That doesn’t happen.”
Eve and Elsie criticized me. Seeing that my wives didn’t respond, it must have been that I was too eager to eat it raw.
“Looking at the map, it’s here.”
Above the entrance to the secret passage was a small hut. It was a shack built so remotely and suspiciously that I wondered why Cutlass hadn’t been able to find the secret passage until now. If there’s a house like this near your fortress, isn’t it worth sending someone over at least once?
When I opened the door, I saw a cloud of dust through the cracks in the light-filled windows. There was no sign of human habitation inside the cabin. There was only a bed that was all broken and a carpet that was no more than a lump of dust. When A.A lifted the carpet, a square secret door cracked out.
The hinges were rusty and made a loud noise when opened, and it was dark inside so I couldn’t see the floor. I gathered the divine power in my fingers and threw it downward.
“Is it deeper than I thought?”
It was slightly shallower than a manhole. It could be said that it was a height at which an ordinary person could have sprained his leg if he fell recklessly. A.A said after touching the wall.
“There was a ladder, but it must have been broken.”
Could it be that the last person to use this passage was very heavy? With that question in mind, I jumped to the floor. As I stepped on the floor in the dark hallway, stuffy air rose. The stuffy and unpleasant air unique to the underground flowed through the underpass.
The suffocating silence unique to the underground also came with it. A.A said, sticking her head out towards me.
“Priest. Are you okay?”
“Yes. It’s okay. Jump down.”
I said that while using my divine power to illuminate the fire. The party, who measured the height with my light, jumped down one by one. As soon as Eve came down, she grimaced as if she had trouble breathing, and Elsie whined that her nose hurt.
“It is so stuffy here. I want to leave quickly.”
Eve laughed when she saw Elsie crying so loudly. I was also frustrated, so I decided to hurry my steps in the direction of the fortress. Fortunately, the secret passage was a single road, so it wasn’t difficult to find the way.
“What was this place doing, so there was a fortress like this?”
“I do not know?”
It seemed that even A.A. Did not know. The ground was shaking as they got closer to the fort. There must be a war right above us. Now, in order to give us time, the soldiers were recklessly crashing into the walls of the castle. A.A bit his lip and said to me.
“Hurry up. Soldiers are fighting above.”
I walked closely behind Ai as she hurried her steps, clutching her mace. After passing through a long, straight passage and climbing the stairs, a disparate wall was blocking us. Eve rubbed her eyes against the wall.
“How do you open it?”
I tapped on the wall. The sound was distinctly different from the other walls. But there was no opening mechanism. It wasn’t something we couldn’t find. There were literally no devices on this wall. I touched the wall, pushed, pulled, and pressed the bricks one by one, but nothing changed. In this case, the conclusion was one.
“It seems that they only assumed going out and didn’t make an entrance from the outside.”
When I think about it, I can understand this dry, smooth wall with no opening device. I said while holding up the mace.
“Should I break it? The meaning of a surprise attack is a little off, but it’s strange to wait here until when someone will open it.”
Aye nodded his head and said.
“I will do it. Because I can do it more secretly.”
A.A pushed me aside and drew a knife. Her blue blade she emitted a mysterious light. She said to me, brandishing her sword lightly.
“Could you step aside for a bit? You might get hurt.”
Eve and Elsie had already taken a step back. I nodded and went next to Eve. Aye raised her sword and shook her shoulder. She let out a big breath and twisted her body, raising her sword to the floor. After making a big turn in the air, A.A. Drew her sword down in an oblique line once more. It was a great X-shaped cut. When she pushed the triangular cut-out wall with her foot, it fell over with a thud. Said A.
“Let’s go.”
She could not afford to praise Ai’s sword skills for her. We bowed down and entered the fort.
The interior of the Sarang Church gave the impression of a tidy church. The place we entered was the internal library, and the entrance we entered was also a bookshelf. Books neatly cut diagonally felt unrealistic, as if looking at parts of a picture puzzle. And beyond the library. A woman was standing there.
A woman wearing a mask and a robe. The moment A.A and I hurriedly rushed in, her hand she emitted a flash of blue light.
“Sir, fuck!”
At the same time, the entire library began to glow with a blue magic circle.
Fuck. Fucked!
