Became the Academy’s Munchkin Power Priest

59 – Advance

Ryzen is dead.

Thanks to his sacrifice, the damage to the Heretic Questioners was not as great as expected.

The fact that it’s not as big as you think means that annihilation was avoided. Over 200 out of 400 people died, so it would be a lie to say that the damage was low, but looking at the size of the enemy, it would not have been strange even if they were wiped out.

Moreover, the interrogators were attacked back and forth. In addition to the size of the troops, it was close to a miracle that even half of them survived from enemies attacking from the front.

JeA and Limeria, the officers of Unit 1, were only injured, but their lives were not affected.

According to Limeria, it was the first time he had seen Ryzen fight with all his might.

He killed countless warlocks, and unfortunately missed the heads of them, but he was said to have fatally wounded them. To the extent that recovery is impossible.

We couldn’t know exactly what happened to them because we couldn’t gauge their resilience, but we knew that they wouldn’t show up on the battlefield for a while.

After the large-scale battle, the Church’s troops arrived late. When Archbishop Arco saw his dead body on the ground, he immediately knelt down and prayed.

We gathered the corpses of warlocks and demon minions and burned them. The bodies of the interrogators were also cremated after a simple funeral.

“After all, it is war again….”

Arco said with a sigh.

“The warlock’s stronghold is not far away. Wouldn’t it be better to attack them before the maintenance is over?”

“Yes…. I understand your desire to attack quickly. I want to compete in that stronghold tonight too. But look around. They must be tired, but everyone here is tired. First of all, I will rest today and make plans with the Paladins tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

As Arco said, rushing recklessly would be poisonous. The Warlocks were unable to staff, so their strength did not change.

When they’re all in one place, if you attack, you can take them all out before they do more damage.

There is no need to rush, but now was the right time to punish them.

After a day of maintenance, we set up a strategy.

“The state of the Heretic Questioners is ridiculous.”

Paladin Valion said.

“We are fine. Most of the interrogators want to attack quickly with the leader’s death.”

“Hmm…. Demon Hunter Gran. I heard you know where their stronghold is.”

“Their stronghold is not far from here. Across the Dieta Forest, there is a gnome stronghold near Urukburg. The citadel’s small size makes it difficult to accommodate all the warlocks.”

“Then there must be some guys outside the fort.”

When I was captured by the warlock’s stronghold, I checked every nook and cranny of their stronghold. It can accommodate between 500 and 1,000 people. Currently, they number over 1500. So at least 500 people are doing maintenance without the protection of the walls.

“But the danger remains the same. We’re not as prepared as they are. If the devils help the heretics with all their might, we might be annihilated.”

“If the heretics disperse after the maintenance, they will come as a bigger threat. The Pope and Ryzen passed away. Even the warriors were beaten by them. If the warlocks are scattered across the empire now, more paganism will arise.”

Warlocks were no different from terrorist groups. They are scattered throughout the empire, attracting civilians and causing terror. They were more dangerous when they were scattered in many places than when they were gathered in one place.

“Yes, I agree with Gran. I guess now is the time to push. We’d better call in support and clear them out.”

“Sacrifice is always necessary….”

The commander of the Holy Knights sighed and said.

“Request support now! We prepare to compete!”

The Paladins and Priests immediately prepared for battle. The Heretic Questioners, who seemed to be in the worst condition, were also preparing to participate.

I also looked for an ancient wolf after preparing to compete, but couldn’t find it here. It seemed that he had returned to nature, exhausted from the constant fighting.

The Church immediately marched toward the fortress.

200 Heretic Questioners.

700 Paladins.

There were about 900 priests, for a total of 1700.

After two large-scale battles, the number of troops has been drastically reduced, but it is enough to deal with warlocks.

The church’s march did not stop. Passed through the wire and entered the Demon Realm.

I passed through the muddy plains and through the forest of Dieta, where there was a village that worshiped the devil. After passing the high ground, they began to see their stronghold in the distance.

“This is it. I can see them outside the citadel.”

The number of warlocks encamped outside is about a thousand. Considering the enemies inside the citadel, we had to fight close to 2,000 black magicians.

“I can finally condemn the heretics.”

After we camped out for the last time, we moved at dawn. First, the sun would rise in time to hide in the dark and be vulnerable to the warlock in time for battle.

I’m going to use black magic to make the world dark right away, but that also leads to magic power consumption.

We moved all the way to the front without being noticed. Then waited for the sun to rise.

An hour passed and the sky turned indigo.

But the sun did not rise.

Dark clouds came and covered the sun before I knew it, and the world was dark.

Even if there is no light, what we have to do does not change.

“Turn around!”

A paladin drew his sword and shouted. Then, the paladins standing behind him drew their swords in unison and shouted.

The priests hurriedly slammed their staffs on the ground and chanted.

The buffed Paladins sped up and rushed at the Warlock who was camping.

I sped up.

The warlocks looked at us with faces that were not awake, probably not understanding the situation.

When I was defenseless, I had to kill them. The longer the battle, the better they were. Warlocks who could take advantage of the chaos had to be dealt with as much as possible.

With a wave of my staff, I broke the warlock along with their encampment.

“What have you been doing since morning….”

Faaagh!

It was a piece of cake to deal with the warlocks who hadn’t come to their senses yet. You should conserve your stamina as much as possible and prepare for the upcoming siege.

“Sir baaar! Enemy! The cult has invaded!”

Quaak!

The Paladins thrust their swords into the Warlock’s torso. The black magicians belatedly prepared for battle.

Pierce Temple.

“Wouldn’t it be too late?”

Mage Paron Rugis said.

“But I can’t wait to see it. We have to go and help.”

“So reckless….”

Knight Paron Rugis looked at Arnes and said.

“I will. I didn’t know that you would leave me and attack me with demons. Like Tescia said, wouldn’t it be better to go quickly now?”

“Unfortunately, there are no troops to dispatch to Urukburg. Everyone is obsessed with the war against the kingdom….”

Rugis said with a worried face.

“Then, why don’t Lugis-sama and Ulcron-sama go to support? It will be quite helpful.”

His daughter, Echina, stood next to Rugis.

He was holding her daughter’s hand tightly.

“Father, there is someone precious to me. I really want to help.”

“A precious person….”

Paron Lugis smiled bitterly and stroked the back of Echina’s hand.

“Gran is not an ordinary child. Maybe if she didn’t have a guy, she might be burning Viscilia too. It’s a pity that he cut down the warlocks in the middle, but it was almost a warlock nest. Without Gran, a lot would have died.”

Arnes said.

“What do you think, Ulcron?”

“Yeah, what do I have to say? My son was attacked. Wake up right now.”

They hurriedly moved to the front line following the words of Arnes and the saintess.

There was an entity blocking their way while they were moving.

“Oh, wolf?”

***

“I can’t see Moras.”

Adjutant Kaihan said.

“I will. Where did you go in this mess? You were hurt a lot. Weren’t you with Kaihan-nim?”

“I was on the wall all day yesterday. I know Moras-sama called you yesterday….”

“Yes, that’s right. You called me yesterday You were hurt very badly. To the extent that recovery seems difficult.”

Kaihan’s eyes narrowed.

Deian hid one of his hands and then used blood magic. Deian intended to kill Kai Han immediately if he found out that he had killed Morath.

“I don’t know where he went. It would be difficult to move. I’ll get it right away It seems that he moved after talking to you. First of all, let’s stop them since they’re invading. I’ll command you from the front gate, you go to the east gate. And support will come soon from the Demon Realm, so you just have to hold out for a little while.”

The blood magic formed on one of Deian’s hands disappeared.

“Okay. I’ll be there soon.”

There was only one thing in Deian’s head.

The Golden Dawn didn’t matter.

Deian’s only goal was to defeat Gran and become the strongest.

“Finally…. I can kill the demon hunter.”

A smile bloomed on his lips.
