I Became a Madman in the Game - I Became a Madman in the Game chapter 94

Episode. IL.30 Plague of Calgos (3)

Rio Castle was preparing to meet the upcoming battle.

I sat on top of the castle wall, where I could see the castle at a glance, and checked my condition.

“Status window.”

[Hor] [Low Deity]

▶ [Cult Level – 2]

□ Number of believers – 4,512 □ Faith – 22,502,754

□ Authority – [Appoint a believer] [Receive prayer] [New Eye] [Revelation]

□ Unlocked positions – [Minimum Preacher] 42/50 [Minimum Paladin] 30/30 [Minimum Priest] 20/20

[Lesser Evangelist] 0/5 [Lesser Paladin] 0/3 [Lesser Priest] 0/2

Twenty-two million faith.

Looking at the status window with numbers written on it that I could not have imagined a while ago, I felt like I was a successful business man.

Then this status window should be called a bankbook.

“Not bad.”

Did you say that the population of the royal capital of Baren was about 30,000?

Their earnest prayers piled up one by one on me, recording a huge number of 20 million.

Among them, there were quite a few who became believers.

Of course, the same goes for the men in Rio Castle, and some of the newly recruited troops had become believers.

“If it wasn’t for Shinan, it could have been a big problem.”

That’s what I think most of these days.

The effectiveness of the Shinan was so great that it was possible to turn each of them into followers without seeing each other face to face.

Without this ability, finding would-be followers would have been a huge struggle.

Since a position such as a missionary is automatically granted if you meet the qualifications, there was an inclination for the nobles to become missionaries, except for the Marquis of Trantis.

So today, the faith that comes in every day is about one million.

Millions of faith were spent here and there to fight the plague, but there was still a lot left.

Maybe in the future I will gain more faith.

After the trust in the royal capital is firmly established, it will be passed on to other territories.

“Fear not!”

“Hor is in us, and the saint is by your side!”

Familiar voices hit my ears.

When I turned my head and looked toward the castle, the Knights of the Temple Knights were giving speeches.

It was an event suggested by Aaron, saying it was necessary to boost the morale of the troops ahead of battle.

That’s how the day at Rio Castle went by busily.

Now I could tell without anyone talking.

that the stench is getting closer.

“I’m not as nervous as I thought.”

“I don’t think you can feel it because you’re too nervous, because your legs are shaking a lot right now?”

A heavy tension weighs down the castle.

Whether the attack of the plague monster will be today or tomorrow.

More and more people were unable to sleep properly due to the anxiety that was approaching them.

“Tsk.”

Looking at the soldiers who were no different from defeated soldiers, my eyes were furrowed.

The faces of those who have not yet fought and look as if they have already lost.

Just because they’re soldiers doesn’t mean they’re useless.

If each of them played their role well, they would be able to pull out an efficiency comparable to that of the Three Thousand Knights.

“Leave it for now. Originally, the first fierce battle is scary if you don’t experience it yourself.”

“Where did they go to play? I trained at a well-equipped gymnasium.”

The knights of the Union who saw me laughed and said.

It was a condescending attitude, like a great senior who went through all sorts of hardships, so I burst into laughter.

“It is strange. I think you were the same a few months ago. I heard that Sir Leo has lost all his gray hair. I had to go to war with the cowards.”

“Ah!”

“Ah, saint!”

The knights blushed at my words.

At this rate, he even came out rather brazenly, saying, “Are you completely a veteran?”

“okay. I am a veteran now.”

I nodded and looked around.

The difference between the knights of the alliance and the troops of the royal family was so great that they could be distinguished even without looking at the crest engraved on the armor.

The men who fought the war against the undead were strong and strong.

Although there was tension about the upcoming battle, there was no feeling of fear or anything, so it really felt like a veteran’s.

“But you shouldn’t be careless either.”

I warned veterans.

Plague is not something to be taken lightly.

“Brigade Commander Calgos, you should know because you saw him.”

It was a ridiculous appearance that only half of the body had escaped from the crack, but the sense of intimidation it exuded was not.

Without Balak, we, or at least the Kingdom of Baren, might have written the final history that day.

If there’s one thing I’ve felt many times as ‘Richard’, it’s that being careless leads to the worst results.

If you want to, something will happen, and if you want to be okay, it will never be okay.

It was the same feeling as a common line, ‘Is he dead?’

Now, just seeing others careless made my heart feel tight.

“The monsters we have to deal with are those who were born from the curse of that bastard bastard. You can’t think of it as similar to a lich or undead.”

After hearing my warning, the veterans hardened their faces.

It didn’t look like he was afraid.

It just showed the right amount of tension.

The Baren royal family should see this.

You’d be pretty proud.

“Chwiiik! A stench is coming!”

When Rapture came next to me, he looked over the wall and twitched his nose.

The veins wriggling over the red, rough skin of the orc represented his excitement.

“Chwik, what a great human warrior!”

he called me

Then he added thank you.

“Now I’m going to try and fight the plague. This will be a first in orcish history! I don’t know where to throw the axe!”

This child, please.

“hehehe, I’m at a loss, but the plague guy is probably the same. I’m a healthy Orc who’s never done anything small! Chwik!”

The way he swung his fists with his gaze fixed on the other side of the castle wall looked very stupid.

No, this guy was really stupid.

It was time to hold back a sigh and kindly try to explain.

“Just because it’s a plague, it can’t be the real plague itself, you idiot!”

Someone did what I had to say.

It was Moritz.

woo.

Spit outside the walls.

“hahahaha, anyway, the scouting party has settled down near the plains. I told you to come back if you sense something, so the saint is resting.”

“I need to be able to rest.”

Responding to the knight’s words, he leaned against the wall.

The sound of hammering to complete the extension hastily continues, and the praise of Horr, shouted by the Temple Knights, is heard every hour.

That’s all.

I gave orders, but I couldn’t leave out the singing of the men who were going through such intense training.

“Write… … .”

And more than anything else, the thing that touched me so I couldn’t rest was the stench that was getting closer, just as Rapture said.

◈ ◈ ◈

Today was darker than yesterday, and tomorrow will be darker than today.

It was time to get used to it.

Woo-woo-!

The sound of the horn shook the city of Rio.

Even late at night, the troops, who were not nervous, stiffened their bodies.

The air in the castle stirred.

“What is it!”

Asked Count Ord, who did not even climb the stairs and jumped up the castle wall at once.

The main figures and knights of the castle rushed behind him.

“I am coming.”

In the meantime, I, who had almost lived on the wall, answered instead.

At those words, the leaders clung to the wall.

Beep-!

In the distance, something the size of a dot soared into the sky and cried loudly.

It was Hyo Si (嚆矢).

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Rio Castle answered the cries with a trumpet blow.

I aroused my divine power.

I started to see things that were too far away to see.

It was the reconnaissance team that fired Hyo-si.

They had camped all over the plain, and they were coming running with only their bodies on horses.

It seemed that he was so desperate that he could not even take the insignia he had given him with plenty of faith.

The desperate expression of the knight who was on the mission of reconnaissance, and the frightened struggles of the scouts.

Even if something happened, it seemed to be firmly held.

The five scattered troops came here and united.

As they exchanged glances with each other, as if they were convinced that what they saw was not in vain, their eyes filled with even more stiff faces.

“The gates!”

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, I spoke to Count Ord.

He nodded, and soon the order came.

kiik, kiik-

The gates opened with a loud noise.

After a minute or an hour of waiting, the scouts soon entered the castle.

“Coming, coming! The red monsters are coming mad!”

“They are by no means few! I couldn’t figure it all out, but… … Choi, at least two thousand two!”

“They’re approaching speed is incredible!”

As if they even forgot to get off their horses, the scout urgently posted a report.

thud.

The castle gate closed a beat late.

From noble mtl dot com

Listening to the scouting party’s report, I looked up at the sky.

I already knew thanks to my divine eyes that there were a number of monsters that could not be ignored.

My mouth itched.

I wanted to let them know that the monsters the reconnaissance team saw were just the vanguard.

Only two thousand two came a little earlier because they were born a little earlier, but that’s not all of the germs regurgitated by the plague’s castle.

I glanced at the crowd and kept my mouth shut.

Most of them are those who became contemplative in only two thousand.

To say that this is just the tip of the iceberg is to cut morale into pieces.

“I see you over there.”

Red things entered one by one at the edge of the enhanced vision.

“Hey, battle deployment!”

“All troops, take your place!”

The shouts of the commanders echoed belatedly.

Between the turbulent air and turbulent troops, Gide approached me.

“Are you okay?”

“What?”

He opened his mouth with a hesitant face.

I wondered why this was happening all of a sudden, but I soon realized the reason.

I guess I’m worried

Wouldn’t it hurt your body during the battle?

Even if he was told to serve the new monarch, it seems that he can’t help it in such an urgent situation.

But do you know who cares about whom?

“I didn’t protect Rio Castle by eating land.”

Hard and terrible, it was worse during the Undead War.

At that time, I was the lowest level god, and I didn’t even have overflowing faith.

I had to use a lot of effort to instill faith in the unbelievers.

Compared to that, how good are things now?

His godhood also rose, and the number of believers and followers increased like a snowball.

I also got some pretty good weapons.

I couldn’t be that supportive.

“Gide, I’ll show you properly this time.”

The reason why I was able to give up Battenberg without any regrets.

thud.

I stamped my feet.

“The lamp gives light.”

“We who stand by him are also lamps.”

The knights who guarded the castle with me raised their blades high into the sky.

“Darkness cannot swallow even the slightest thread of light!”

The melodies they exhaled were full of holy energy.

“In the end, my body just faded!”

A light flashed through my body.

Holy power rose from the thirty-year-old Paladins.

The demons brought by the monsters were so startled that they could not invade the castle.

I turned and looked at Gide.

And laughed.

Would this have been the answer?
