Elia

Saintess Agatha retorted.

“If that were the case, the Hamel Empire and the Elia Holy Kingdom would have fought each other and been occupied by the God of Darkness even faster. Rather, it is to our advantage that we siphoned off the Hamel Empire’s soldiers for three years.”

Cardinal Benjamin also agreed.

“That’s right. At the time, we didn’t have enough troops to overwhelm the Hamel Empire army. That’s why we created the reserve forces system three years ago and made all adult men and women undergo basic military training, didn’t we? If we mobilize all the citizens of the Holy Kingdom now, we can move 2.5 million soldiers. The citizens of the Holy Kingdom will fight with the determination to die together for Goddess Elia-nim.”

Cardinal Gilbert said.

“We have made as many weapons as possible for three years. We can provide all citizens with weapons and armor.”

The Pope nodded.

“My thoughts were short-sighted. There’s no point in regretting it now. We should have looked at what we have achieved.”

The people encouraged the Pope.

“The Pope-nim has come to his senses.”

“Everyone makes mistakes for a moment.”

The Pope asked Cardinal Dennis.

“Cardinal Dennis, what about the request for support from the Dwarf Tatag Kingdom?”

Cardinal Dennis sighed with a dark face.

“Huuu… They say they can’t provide support because they have to suppress the rebels in the south.”

The people lamented.

“Heo. The stubbornness of the Dwarves. Really.”

“Are the Dwarves not thinking?”

The people decided to give up on Dwarf support.

The Pope then looked at Saintess Angela and asked.

“How is the Hero, Saintess Angela-nim’s husband, doing?”

Angela had been grinning throughout the meeting.

Angela replied.

“I have completely tamed him. Now he will eat dog poop on the street if I tell him to. Of course, I will only use the Hero for Goddess Elia-nim.”

The Pope’s face brightened.

“That’s good.”

The people here, including the Pope, knew the meaning of ‘tamed’ that Angela spoke of in detail.

Hero Park Gyeong-cheol had become Angela’s mental slave after three years of brutal torture and training.

Park Gyeong-cheol was still suffering from erectile dysfunction because he had not fixed his vanished penile cavernous body.

The Pope promised to fix Park Gyeong-cheol’s penis if Park Gyeong-cheol defeated the God of Darkness.

For reference, Angela became the Goddess of Charity.

The Pope looked at the people and said.

“Our final defense lines are Morian City and Yehomel City. Morian City will face Shaldad’s army, and Yehomel City will face the God of Darkness’s army.”

The Pope made a decision.

“From today, the Elia Holy Kingdom will enter a complete wartime system. Send all available combat troops, except for food production and transportation, to Morian City and Yehomel City. Saintess Angela, take the Hero and go to Yehomel City. I will entrust all the remaining Inquisitors to the Saintess-nim, so be sure to kill the God of Darkness.”

Angela bowed her head and shouted.

“Thank you! I will definitely eliminate the God of Darkness!”

The Pope continued.

“I will entrust the troops in Morian City to Cardinal Benjamin-nim. I will go to Yehomel City and command the troops.”

The people stopped the Pope.

“No! The Pope-nim must take care of your body!”

“It’s dangerous!”

The Pope spoke.

“Eheo. How can I, the High Priest, stay behind when the Elia Holy Kingdom is in such a precarious situation? I will also participate in the battle for Goddess Elia-nim.”

The people were moved by the Pope’s spirit of sacrifice.

The people left the conference room to do their respective tasks.

Everyone knew that the next war was a war for the fate of humanity.

—

Several weeks later, Shaldad’s imperial army gathered at the border between Eridne City and Morian City.

Important figures such as Mer Nusa (Molech), Sewena, Tara (Proserpin), and Christine (Andariel) were all around Shaldad (Diablo).

Sewena’s face looked pale and fearful.

Many of the soldiers were like dolls without egos, blank.

There were 90 Giant Soldiers, the Intelligence Knights, the Tiger Knights, hundreds of magic Golems of the Golem Knights, and the Wyvern Knights.

Shaldad received parts for the Giant Soldiers and magic Golems from the God of Darkness, so the condition of the Giant Soldiers and magic Golems was as good as new.

In addition, the military officers were wearing Dragon armors supported by the God of Darkness.

Shaldad gave a speech.

“Today, we drive out the evil Elia Holy Kingdom that tried to assassinate me, the rightful successor to the Hamel Empire! The God of Darkness has allowed us to live freely in the land of the Elia Holy Kingdom! Don’t worry! Trust me!”

The soldiers cheered.

“Uwaaaaa!”

Some soldiers expressed doubts.

“How can we trust the God of Darkness at all?”

“It seems like the God of Darkness’s scheme is to have us humans kill each other.”

A military officer glared at the murmuring soldiers and shouted.

“Hey, can’t you be quiet?! Are you refusing His Majesty Shaldad’s orders?!”

The soldiers waved their hands.

“No! We will be quiet!”

As the officers got angry and shouted, the soldiers had no choice but to bury their doubts in their hearts.

Shaldad ordered loudly.

“Advance!”

The imperial army advanced towards Morian City.

After advancing a certain distance, the walls of Morian City came into view.

The walls were densely packed with soldiers of the Holy Kingdom.

In fact, Morian City currently had 1 million soldiers, including regular soldiers and citizen soldiers.

The citizen soldiers were not very physically fit.

Just giving citizens military training for a short time and handing them spears does not make them excellent soldiers.

They were literally just filling the numbers for a human wave tactic.

Shaldad sneered.

“Puhaha. Those little brats won’t be able to stop the elite of the Hamel Empire army. And how are they going to stop the Giant Soldiers?”

The surrounding military officers chimed in.

“Euhahahaha. That’s right.”

Cardinal Benjamin shouted from the wall.

“Shaldad! In the end, you have completely fallen into darkness! Why don’t you know that only the God of Darkness benefits from humans fighting each other?!”

Shaldad retorted.

‘Puhyelhelhel. I am Diablo!’

“I know very well that the Elia Holy Kingdom hates me! But you shouldn’t be planning to eliminate me! The God of Darkness promised to give me the land of the Elia Holy Kingdom!”

“We had no intention of eliminating you! Rather, we were planning to support Eridne City so that it could stand against the army of darkness! It’s not too late now! Let’s join hands and fight against the God of Darkness!”

“I don’t want to hear any more lies and bullshit from the Elia Holy Kingdom!”

Cardinal Benjamin was annoyed.

“Heo. It’s really impossible to communicate.”

Shaldad ordered the entire army.

“Attack!”

The imperial army shouted and advanced towards the castle.

“Uwaaaaa!”

90 Giant Soldiers, 150m tall magic Golems, walked towards the castle, shaking the ground with huge shields and greatswords.

Uuuuu Kuuung Uuuuu Kuuung

The magic Golems of the Golem Knights also advanced towards the castle.

There were countless citizen soldiers on the wall who had never fought a single battle before.

The citizen soldiers were frightened by the enemy’s majesty and began to tremble.

Cardinal Benjamin shouted.

“All priests, cast courage buffs!”

Cardinal Benjamin, along with the Saintesses, Cardinals, and priests, cast courage buffs.

“Increase Courage!”

The wall was covered in bright light.

After the light disappeared, the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom seemed confident as courage filled their hearts.

Projectiles such as arrows, magic, and cannonballs from the imperial army flew towards the wall.

Shuuuung Puhuhuhung Shushushushu

Cardinal Benjamin shouted.

“All priests, cast defense magic! Fire projectiles!”

As the priests cast Holy Barriers, shields made of bright light appeared on the wall and blocked the projectiles.

Tang Tadang Kaang

The Holy Kingdom soldiers on the wall fired bows, ballistae, and cannons.

Shung Shushung Shushung Shushushu Puhuhuhung

The Giant Soldiers stood at the front of the imperial army and advanced, taking the Holy Kingdom’s projectiles with their shields and bodies.

Kagang Kwaang Tang Tang Kagagang

Shaldad laughed coolly.

“Euhahaha! That’s right! That’s right! Now use the secret weapon!”

10 Giant Soldiers spun the sacks they were carrying on their backs in the air.

When the Giant Soldiers released the sacks, the sacks flew towards the inside of Morian City.

Shuuuuuu

Cardinal Benjamin noticed the danger and shouted.

“All priests, stack Holy Barriers to block those sacks!”

As the priests cast Holy Barriers, thick walls of light were created in the air.

Suddenly, 30 Giant Soldiers activated their booster engines and sprinted towards the wall at maximum speed.

Wiiiiing Kung Kung Kung Kung

One Giant Soldier jumped forward with all its might and collided with the wall of light with its body.

Due to the impact of the enormous mass, the wall of light cracked with a loud noise.

Kwaaaaaaang Jjijijijijik

Some priests suffered internal injuries and collapsed, vomiting blood due to the divine power backlash.

Cardinal Benjamin shouted at the top of his lungs.

“We have to stop them!”

Cardinal Benjamin also sent divine power to the wall of light.

As the priests used their divine power, the wall of light was restored.

The Giant Soldiers collided with the wall of light one after another.

Kwaaang Kwaaang Kwaaaaaang Jjijijijijik

The cracks in the wall of light grew larger and larger.

The priests collapsed one by one due to the divine power backlash, but somehow managed to prevent the wall of light from being destroyed.

When the sacks collided with the wall of light, several huge mushroom explosions occurred with earth-shattering vibrations.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaang

All the walls of light were shattered.

Jjaenggeurang Jjaenggeurang

Several priests who were maintaining the wall of light exploded due to the high-intensity divine power backlash.

“Kkeuaaaaa!”

Pung Puhuhung Pung Pung Puhuhuhung

As a powerful gust of wind blew in all directions from the explosion point, the Holy Kingdom soldiers struggled to avoid falling from the wall.

“Euaaaa! Hold on!”

The imperial army also crouched on the ground and endured the gust of wind.

“Kkeueueueue! Don’t push back!”

When the explosion ended, all that could be seen were the flesh scraps of several priests and 30 shattered Giant Soldiers.

This bomb was the mana condensation bomb used to launch Behemoths in the Hamel Empire.

The Kyle Holy Alliance found the data for the mana condensation bomb and reproduced it through intensive research investment.

It was an unfortunate situation where a mass destruction weapon made by humans was passed into the hands of the enemy and used to eliminate humans.

Kyle entrusted all the mana condensation bombs he had made so far to Shaldad.

Cardinal Benjamin wiped the blood flowing from his lips and laughed coolly.

“Euhahaha! We stopped your secret weapon! And 30 Giant Soldiers were blown away.”

Shaldad quietly sneered.

“What? Do you think that’s the end? The first ones we threw were to eliminate the priests’ divine power.”

The imperial army arrived at the wall, set up ladders, and began to climb the wall.

“Climb up quickly!”

The Holy Kingdom soldiers resisted by throwing stones and pouring hot oil from above.

The humanoid magic Golems of the Golem Knights arrived at the wall.

The magic Golems climbed the wall, sticking their palms and soles to the wall.

The temperature of the hot oil was not high enough to melt the magic Golems.

The magic Golems activated their cooling boosters to resist the heating of the hot oil.

When a magic Golem arrived at the wall, a citizen soldier stabbed it with a spear.

“For Goddess Elia!”

When the magic Golem grabbed the spear and pulled, the citizen soldier was pulled in.

“Uh uh uh uh!”

The magic Golem grabbed the citizen soldier with one hand and threw him off the wall.

The citizen soldier screamed as he fell.

“Kkeuaaaa!”

Kwajik

A Holy Knight who had received a priest’s buff ran towards the magic Golem with an iron mace.

“Euaaa! Take this holy iron mace!”

When the Holy Knight swung down the iron mace, the magic Golem raised its left arm and blocked it.

Kuaaaang

With a loud noise, the magic Golem’s left arm was dented.

The magic Golem tilted its head and compressed its right arm to form a lance.

The magic Golem stabbed with the lance, and the Holy Knight swung the iron mace, engaging in battle.

Hand-to-hand combat broke out on the wall between the Holy Kingdom soldiers and the imperial army.

When an imperial army soldier cut off the arm of a Holy Kingdom citizen soldier with a sword, blood spurted from the severed shoulder.

Pusyusyusyu

The citizen soldier screamed.

“Priest! Priest!”

However, since many priests had been knocked out while maintaining the wall of light earlier, unfortunately, there were no priests to care for this citizen soldier.

In the end, an imperial army soldier stabbed the citizen soldier’s neck with a sword and killed him.

The remaining priests gritted their teeth and sprinkled healing and buffs wherever they could see.

The Wyvern Knights descended from the sky and attacked the priests.

Christine, the commander of the Wyvern Knights, riding a giant Wyvern, fell where the group of priests was.

One priest was crushed by the Wyvern, and his intestines burst out, killing him.

“Keueoeok!”

Christine spun a chain scythe in the air and laughed.

“Kyahahahaha! Die, all of you!”

The Wyvern spun around, tearing the priests apart with its tail and claws.

When Christine threw a chain scythe covered in aura, the citizen soldiers in its path were torn apart.

Pababababak

Cardinal Gilbert, wearing golden armor, ran towards Christine with a holy iron mace.

“Euaaaa! You witch!”
