#75 How Shamans Influence War (4)
“The Holy Sword is not here.”
“Huh?”
“The Pope has it.”
Since it’s something like a holy sword, it’s only natural that it’s not here, right?
It was natural to be in a place where the Pope and priests were gathered.
“Oh, sir, you can go wherever you want.”
You’ll soon be walking around in a daze again, but you’ll wake up quickly.
I even went there to get the holy sword for that.
– …
After walking for a while, I came across a place where the priests were gathered.
As the size of the reinforcements grew, there was not enough space to accommodate them.
So the method that was created was to convert the houses used by the local people into lodgings.
The biggest house among them.
The Pope was staying there.
“I see the saint and Christ.”
The priests greeted me as if they knew me.
Several people tried to approach me, but they stopped quietly when they saw Luna sleeping behind me.
Bow –
They greet people by silently bowing their heads.
I also quietly bowed my head and walked away.
“What are you going to use the holy sword for? By any chance, with your feet again…”
Aluard seemed to stiffen his body.
It seemed like he thought I would step on the Holy Sword again.
“Not this time. I’m going to use it as a jangseung. I need to wake up the spirits.”
“Isn’t it Chris who is doing it himself?”
“I should climb the mountain with you too.”
As we approached the front of the building, the knights opened the door as if they had been waiting.
And inside, at the table in front of it, the Pope was sitting with the people.
Clocell’s inspiration was also here.
“Welcome.”
“You’re here? I was in the middle of an important meeting.”
The nobles who had been sitting next to the old man stood up from their seats.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Nordin. I am in charge of the support force.”
“It’s Count Kebeman.”
“It is Count Pilard. I have heard many stories from Lord Paramon.”
They were full of kindness, no matter what the story was.
The count, who was called Nordin, was looking at me with a burdensome look.
“It was an impressive sight. Walking among the undead.”
“It wasn’t a big deal.”
If there are a lot of people gathered like this, you might need to change the order.
To be honest, I thought the priests’ points would be the most difficult, so I decided to do them first.
If we only look at the commanders first, the strength will be roughly equal.
The people coming and going became quiet as the Pope began to speak.
“Do you need anything?”
“I need my sword… no, my holy sword and my divine powers.”
“I’ll prepare it, is that enough?”
That’s not all I’ll do.
Because there’s a lot to do.
Time was tight as we had to leave for the mountains tomorrow.
“Since we don’t have much time, let’s start here.”
The first person I had to see was Old Man Clocell.
“Do you want to see a fortune teller?”
“It’s a kind of battle preparation.”
The inspiration nodded as if it understood.
This was really comfortable.
People who understand right away what I’m going to do.
I immediately grabbed the drop and started shaking it slowly.
Daughter –
“That’s the fortune teller I heard about.”
“You can see the future?”
In an instant, a lot of information rushed into my head.
It was definitely a sharper offense than before.
It was clearer and had more in it.
“Your luck won’t be very good starting tomorrow. However, if you have people around you, your bad luck will probably improve a little.”
“I forbid you from acting alone. Would you like to lead the wizards?”
Daughter –
Unfortunately, that didn’t seem to be the case.
As soon as the inspiration spoke, a sense of uneasiness was palpable.
“You need to be with stronger people. You should move together with Master Paramon.”
Shudder.
For a moment, my arms began to tremble slightly.
Just the words I just uttered have changed a lot.
The number of people who have to die will be greatly reduced.
This amounts to a considerable leak of secrets.
That means our inspirations are important people.
“And Count Nordin?”
The counts facing me were looking at me with faces full of anticipation.
It’s not really something to look forward to, though.
Because it’s a heavy burden that could lead to a person’s death.
Daughter –
“Count Nordin will die if he comes to the forefront.”
“Ugh…”
Bad energies surrounded Count Nordin.
The image of the count that comes to mind at first glance appears sometimes upside down and sometimes standing upright.
The odds of death seemed quite high.
Sometimes, it can even be said to be unconditional.
“You must always be careful because death is near.”
“Okay, I see. Let’s listen to the differences and try to adjust our formation.”
“Next is Count Kebeman.”
Daughter –
This time, a significant pain came from my shoulder.
It was the opposite shoulder, not the one shaking the bell.
“Your Majesty, you must watch your shoulders.”
It doesn’t feel like I’ve been hit by anything.
The sharp lines felt like they had been cut with a knife.
“My left arm might be cut off.”
“Is that my arm?”
“If you look at it as an individual, it is like that…”
There was something more to feel.
There was a risk of losing everyone around him.
It was a situation that was not created by one person’s fortune, but by the horoscopes of many people being mixed together.
If a commander has this kind of luck in war, he must definitely be careful.
“If we form a formation in the west, we will suffer great losses.”
For a moment, people fell silent and turned their gazes to the table.
Inspiration Clocell broke the silence and pointed to a place on the map.
“We need to change formation. You take the right wing.”
“But, Clocell. Honestly, I wonder if I can still believe this…”
“I can guarantee that.”
The Pope also added a word.
“I would also advise you to follow Chris’s words. Everything he is saying now is an oracle.”
The counts turned their heads to each other with surprised faces.
It is reasonable to believe that this was evidence of such high trust that the Pope himself spoke of it as an oracle.
Anyway, I shook the drop again.
Daughter –
“It’s easy to give in to temptation. Never act rashly.”
“That won’t happen.”
I still felt uneasy.
It’s not that Count Kebeman was a greedy person from the start.
Protruding cheekbones and upturned lips.
Most people like that end up ruining things because of greed.
I winked at Clocell and he nodded in agreement.
“Next, Count Pilard?”
Daughter –
A person with a sharp mind and deep thoughts.
He was a man with the cunning of a snake, but with a straight heart.
As expected, it seemed like he was significantly involved in the operation, in line with his tendencies.
Daughter –
This time my head started to hurt.
I also felt a hint of fear.
Next to the Count, there seemed to be a foul stench that could be emitted by the undead.
“Beware of the necromancer’s magic. The Count may suffer a defeat at the hands of the undead.”
And one more thing.
The further east you go, the better off you will be.
This is also a situation created by a combination of various fates.
When I told him this, the conversation went back and forth about changing formation again.
“Let Count Kebeman and Count Pilard swap places. However, Count Nordin’s knights have no replacements. This part cannot be changed.”
“Yes, Clocell.”
The moment the matter was neatly concluded, Count Nordin’s fortune suddenly changed.
A very large amount of money.
There are times when negative fortunes and energies overlap.
Usually, in such cases, a sudden accident causes great trouble.
It is also expressed as being hit by a sudden death.
Now, it seemed as if Count Nordin was about to die a sudden death.
It’s a little closer to death.
“If you go on like that, the Count will die.”
The atmosphere became heavy.
The person involved was the first to speak.
“Then how about this? I will take charge of the front line. I will concentrate all the power I lead there.”
“I told you I’d die if you did that?”
“It’s different from before. I plan on concentrating even the dispersed troops. Would you like me to tell you the fortune again?”
Even though he was told that nothing would change, the count was stubborn.
Daughter –
As expected, the count’s appearance changed as he went to the front line.
The image in my head was now completely upside down.
That person is going to die.
“Would I die if I did that?”
“yes.”
“What about other people?”
“Someone else?”
Daughter –
My shoulder didn’t hurt.
My head didn’t even feel dizzy.
Count Nordin said as if it were a given.
“The knights I lead are extremely skilled. If we can shake up the enemies on the front lines, it will be beneficial to many.”
“No, that’s not it. I said you’re going to die?”
“If your point was truly effective, simply switching their formations would have reduced the risk.”
That was exactly right.
In the original formation, both sides share the risk.
But if you go in the corrected direction, you end up taking all the risks in one place.
It is a sacrifice of the minority for the majority.
“That’s it. Is there really a need to change my formation?”
“Count Nordin!”
“Didn’t you say it was done?”
The count’s attitude remained unchanged even at the mention of death, and people turned their gazes toward him with ominous eyes.
“Our family was once a family that received favor from Lord Paramon. Even that favor was received through the sacrifices of others. Now it is our turn.”
“…..”
“My son is quite intelligent. He would do well to become a count in my place.”
I won’t be the only one dying.
This person’s death is also the result of many things becoming entangled.
“Many of those who follow the Count will die.”
“At least my knights do not fear death. It is an honor for a knight to be a shield.”
“….”
Are all knights like this?
Whether it’s someone else’s life or your own, you treat them all this way.
“Just wait, the Paladins aren’t included yet. It could change.”
Suddenly silence fell.
Because the Pope was quietly staring at one place.
“….”
“….”
Everyone’s gaze shifted to the spot behind me.
“…Luna?”
Luna, who had just woken up, was looking at the Pope with her pure white eyes.
Without even the slightest movement or babbling.
The Pope, who had been silent for a while, began to speak.
“Saving lives has been the job of the priests for generations. And we are the closest to making sacrifices.”
“…..”
“We will take the front line.”
The moment the Pope finished speaking, Luna fell into deep sleep.
