The flames of war raged along with the clashes that took place over the walls of the Capital.
Using a ladder made using the [Soil Magic] Alliance troops climbed up the wall with the aim of opening the gate that was still tightly locked.
And as a backup plan, the two remaining Tanks continued to pound the gate in hopes of destroying it, but until now it has not yielded any results.
Amidst all that, General Boreas was still preoccupied by the Lapelis Prince who challenged him in an archery contest.
Whooosh's... Booms!
The two arrows clashing against each other in the air exploded as they met each other.
The fight between the two of them was so fierce that it made General Boreas unable to pay any more attention to his subordinate soldiers who had now begun to be overwhelmed by the attacks from the Alliance forces.
"Aarrghhh...!!!" "Grroooaa...!!!" "Grraaagghh...!!!"
Shouts of ferocious monsters began to echo on the battlefield.
Many Narsist Kingdom warriors who were starting to get cornered were forced to use the artifacts they had in order to turn things around.
What was once a valiant warrior was now replaced by a ferocious monster with a sinister look.
No longer knowing where their comrades were and where their opponents went berserk destroyed everything before them.
(Sharp Edge)
With a red-flamed sword Doragon slashed at the monster before him and left a gaping wound on the monster's body.
It's not enough to get there, though, Doragon then raised his shield and floated (Shield Rush) which suddenly threw the monster to the other side of the wall and finally landed right in the middle of other Narsist Kingdom soldiers who were still lined up neatly.
Still alive even with open wounds on his chest, the monster that had lost its wits was now venting its anger at those who were once his comrades in arms.
"Yes...!!!" the cries of the soldiers began to echo when they were forced to fight with their own comrades.
Although it looks cruel, but this is the most effective and most efficient strategy in dealing with soldiers who have entered Berserk mode and turned into senseless monsters.
Holding back the turbulent feelings in his heart, Doragon refocused on what was before him. Clasping tightly onto the sword in hand, he again swung it.
"Hoooraaaa...!!!" on the other side of the wall was the figure of a ferocious Bear swinging his Axe wildly.
There was no need to see where he swung his axe, on each swing there must have been more than two wounded soldiers.
It was certain that there were no Alliance troops nearby. Bearnard can freely swing his axe as if there is no tomorrow.
"Grrahmahh...!!!" finding the warrior who became a Berserk lunged right at him. Bearnard is not afraid.
With an axe in hand he greeted the monster with (Lumberjack) and successfully landed his axe right in the monster's stomach. His axe dug deep and almost split the monster in half.
"Hoooo...!!!" exerting all the energy he had, Bearnard carried the monster that was still attached to his axe circling like a whirlwind.
The Narsist Kingdom warriors who were close to him tried to get away but still found themselves knocked down by the relentlessly swirling Bearnard.
Starting to feel dizzy himself, Bearnard ended his action by throwing monsters on his axe deep into the middle of the Narsist Kingdom warriors who were below.
That only added to the panic among the Narsist Kingdom warriors as the number of their comrades who had to fight back now increased again.
They wanted to escape, but there was no place for them to run.
Having no other choice, they would have to unsheathe their swords if they did not want to die.
"Feel this!" "Eat this!"
On the chaotic battlefield, there was an odd sight.
In the midst of the slaughter scene, there were two figures of twins swinging their weapons each with a big smile on their faces.
Their appearance looked like that of a girl who had yet to reach 12 years of age. However, the two of them had already dove into the battlefield while swinging their weapons left and right.
They were both Servants of the Lavender Witch.
Trita and Vier.
After a long time of their absence from the stage, the two of them finally returned excitedly.
Without Zweite watching, Trita and Vier can go berserk as they please.
Amidst the increasingly fierce fight, alarming things began to happen under the Cathedral.
Dozens of Priests and Nuns lined up to form a perfect circle with a crystal ball in their center.
Their mouths are ceaselessly offering a do'a that no layman can understand. Every do'a they chanted contained a very pure Mana that came out of their bodies and was collected by a ball
crystal.
The longer they lengthened the do'a the stronger the light that the crystal ball emitted.
When the light from the crystal ball had filled the entire room, it was seen that the Mana collected within the crystal ball began to flow through the wires connected to the crystal ball.
The cables extend deep underground.
Being deep in the ground where the wires ended up was a large room similar to a factory. Neat rows are rows of dolls with the form of knights who are asleep.
With the wires attached to their backs, the Mana that was not small began to flow filled the puppet.
When Mana had been filled to a certain extent, Einherjar was fully active.
...
With a rotating serrated sound, a huge hole opened right in front of the Cathedral.
From the open pit, hundreds of Knight-shaped puppets seeped out like a tidal wave. In just a few seconds, the dolls filled the streets.
Wearing milky white armor, their appearance looked artistically indulgent to the eyes. A large shield was attached to their left hand, while the other hand was filled with three types of weapons.
Some carried swords with handles like wings.
Some carried a giant spear.
And some carry a weapon similar to a rifle from the modern era.
Found in the ruins of what is now a Cathedral, they are combat dolls named after the spirits of warriors from the past.
Einherjar.
The townspeople who peeked out from behind the windows were shocked to find hundreds to thousands of Einherjar who began to throng the streets of the city. Even so, when they finally realized that the Einherjar
it came out of the Cathedral. Instantly they thought that the Einherjar were the secret weapon of the Narsist Religion.
Which means the Einherjars are on their side.
Confusion has now changed into a sense of pride and joy.
The cheers of the residents began to echo in the originally silent city.
Been under great cheers. The heartless Einherjar began to run a program embedded in their heads.
After years of research, not only did Pope Senor manage to figure out how to activate them, he had even managed to figure out how to program them to comply with his wishes.
For the sake of being able to match his image as a Pope. Pope Senor programmed them to be Knights who protected the Narsist Religion.
This means that Pope Senor programmed the Einherjars to destroy all the evils that threaten the Narsist religion.
Because Narsist religion is a religion for racists, making the definition of 'Extractability' is anything that goes against the teachings of Narsist religion.
That means, every race other than Human. It's something that needs to be removed.
Given the large number of races other than Humans present in the Alliance army, Pope Senor activated Einherjar in the hope that they would directly advance into the battlefield and slaughter the Alliance troops that came charging at them.
Simultaneously, Einherjar was also sent to annihilate the Narsist Kingdom warriors who had turned into senseless monsters due to the artifacts they had brought.
Although the use of the artifact was his own idea. It would still be a bad thing to show their form to the Narsist Kingdom residents who were still blind to the true reality.
If everything went according to plan, then Einherjar would have already gone to storm the gate in the Southern part where the battle was going on.
Unfortunately, there is one thing that does not make it into the calculation.
Following the program implanted in them, the Einherjars immediately marched and moved in the opposite direction from the gate.
All the residents who witnessed this were shocked by it.
Even the young nuns assigned to monitor Einherjar's movements were also made to wonder.
Wanting to report this to the Abbess, unfortunately the Abbess and the other Cathedral officials were busy giving their Mana to move Einherjar so that it was impossible to contact them.
Confused as to why the Einherjars acted like that, it didn't take long before they figured out why.
!!!...Boooom...!!!
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred at the northern gate.
Thick black smoke rose high into the air. Clearly visible chunks of steel that used to be the gate are now scattered everywhere with most of them in half-melted condition.
Taps... Taps... Tap. walked leisurely out of the thick smoke was a red-haired woman with a beautiful face without any scars on her face.
Wearing Heavy Armor with minimal decoration but has maximum protection. He carried a gleaming gold-plated Greatsword.
"General Oriens?!" shouted one of the lucky soldiers as it managed to survive the explosion.
His eyes widened when he found the figure of one of the 4 Great Generals who were rumored to have died in duty now stood gallantly in front of him. Especially when the General is now standing quietly
in front of the gate that had been smashed into pieces.
"General! What does.." had not yet had time for the soldier to finish his words, a throwing knife floated up and stuck right in his throat.
Not only did it make him no longer able to talk, even breathing was he already unable to.
After dying for a few seconds, the poor soldier had to catch up with his comrades who had left first after being hit by an explosion.
"You know I can handle it myself, right?" lowering his sword, Oriens spoke to the man who was now standing right beside him.
"Not that I doubted your strength.." unsealed Rapier hanging on his waist, Allucard's red eyes looked straight ahead ".only we have no time for pleasantries".
"Heh... It's up to you" with his greatsword starting to glow red. The Oriens along with Allucard are now preparing to welcome the incoming enemy.
Taps... Taps... The sound of metallic feet began to be heard in their ears.
Not long after, the figure of Einherjar who ran fast towards them like a fierce wave.
Witnessing the scene before him, Oriens could not help but feel disgusted at the secret weapon that the Narsist Kingdom had been holding. If the Narsist Kingdom had an army like this, then what use would the lives of its subordinates that now felt to have been killed in vain?
With Greatsword in hand, Oriens who realized that the Einherjar troops in front of him were not easy opponents prepared to exert all his strength.
"Don't be rash, just remember that we're not alone"
"I know it!"
Right after he said that, from the back came another troop.
They are not all human beings or of any other race.
With bodies made entirely of violet-flamed wood, they looked like monsters coming out from the bottom of Hell.
Drove like a sea of purple, they passed through Oriens and Allucard just like they never existed.
Driving fast, their goal was only one.
A moment later, a clash between Woodland Creature's army created by the Lavender Witch and Einherjar's army, the secret weapon of the Narsist Religion, broke out and their battle broke out
shaking the entire Capital.
...
As the battle heated up, there were some invisible figures sneaking in the midst of the chaos.
The first was a disciple of the Lavender Witch, Luna. Along with him are the disciples of the Witch Rosemary, Clara. Otherworlders include Turbo, Feline, and Sisteen.
Then, the one leading this small team was the Holy Light Witch, Rosemary La Ciel.
Using the abilities of Luna, their bodies were enveloped by an illusionary veil that made their form invisible to the naked eye.
While sneaking around they slipped in the middle of the raging battlefield. With the Narsist Kingdom Cathedral as the destination, they stepped in with great caution in order to avoid
an unnecessary fight.
Although sneaking in silence was easy for Feline, Sisteen and Luna. That proved difficult for Turbo and Clara who never do sneaking activities like this.
While the Witch Rosemary looked calm as if this was not her first time doing this.
With Luna's [Illusion Magic] level already increasing, it was easier for her to make her form
as well as others to be unable to see and detect.
It didn't take long before they finally arrived near the Cathedral.
How shocked they were when they arrived, what greeted them was the Einherjar army coming out from the underground of the Cathedral.
"Another Narsist Kingdom weapon?"
"Maybe, but where are they headed?"
Following the direction where Einherjar was heading, they were shocked by the ferocious Mobs army with a sinister form. Clara, Turbo and Sisteen who saw this wondered where and why Mobs was fighting Einherjar's forces.
While the Witches Rosemary, Luna and Feline can easily guess where, or rather who the creator of the creepy Mobs.
"Not to be afraid, they are allies"
In order to calm his trembling pupils, the Witch Rosemary points towards Allucard and Oriens as well as the troops from the Drakon Kingdom who are fighting together with the (Woodland Creature).
Still fixated on the fierce battle that lay before them, Feline who had sharp eyes found a figure that was no stranger to him.
Swinging his spear shrewdly, was his best friend Yari.
Mingling with the troops from Drakon Kingdom, Yari eagerly lunged forward destroying all of Einherjar that came to her.
"What is that kid doing?"
Having two female Knights fighting side by side with Yari, Feline could only shake her head and feel relieved after finding out that her friend was fine.
Meanwhile, not far from Yari was Allucard who was fighting together with the Oriens.
Who would have thought that the two of them who were once enemies could now fight together as comrades in arms.
"The meeting place is near, let's hurry"
Guided by the Witch Rosemary, they arrived on the roof of a building that was right behind the Cathedral. Already waiting there was Prince Draco who had now worn Full Armor with the Drakon Kingdom emblem on his chest.
Armed with a sword with a Dragon-shaped hilt, his figure looked gallant as if he was an experienced Knight.
Along with the approximately 10 knights who accompanied him, Prince Draco turned his head towards them even though the veil of illusion was still active.
Undoing the illusions enveloping them, the figure of the Witch Rosemary and the others finally became clear which surprised the Knights who were waiting except for Prince Draco who still had a calm expression.
"Magician Rosemary, it's nice to see you make it here safely"
"The same thing I said to Prince Draco. Fortunately your position is unknown to the enemy so we can meet like this"
After exchanging brief greetings, they finally became serious.
"Prince Draco, is everything going according to plan?"
"Sadly, there's been a little change. Our intel found that Pope Senor entered a secret door inside the Cathedral. If my guess is correct, the door does not lead to a hiding room but a pathway
connected to the Royal Palace"
"Does that mean Pope Senor is now inside the Palace?"
"most likely. That's why our next destination is the Royal Palace while here we can leave it to Allucard"
Seeing that no one objected, the group of Witches Rosemary and Prince Draco joined together and directly ran towards the Nirvana Palace where their biggest opponent had been waiting.
