#76 How Shamans Influence War (5)

“How are you now? Has it changed a bit?”

Daughter –

Hurt.

This time my whole body hurt.

It wasn’t a mess, it was just aching and numbness.

What is certain is that many things have changed again.

I wonder how many people escaped death….

“It certainly seems that the priests are strong against the undead. This is the best one I’ve seen so far.”

“Then I think there will be no disagreement about the religious order taking the lead.”

“Let me follow you. I’ll follow you from behind.”

Everyone nodded.

But even though the situation had changed, Count Nordin’s condition was still critical.

Even when I told him this, the count’s reaction was always the same.

“That’s what war is like. You have to live with death by your side.”

A bitter smile.

Yet the count’s shoulders stood proudly.

“…I’ll go check out other people’s fortunes. By the way, everyone should give their fortunes before the battle starts.”

“I’ve already heard the story. If I don’t give it to you, there’ll be trouble. I’ll gather everything together and deliver it to you.”

I slowly turned around and walked out of the building.

As if Aluard was also planning to attend the meeting, only Serena, Luna, and I came out.

“Serena is right next to me.”

“Yes, don’t worry.”

“Now let’s start with the priests.”

Just as I was about to approach the knight standing guard nearby, the door behind me opened.

“Count?”

The one who opened the door and came out was Count Nordin.

“You said you could see spirits?”

“yes that’s right.”

The count continued speaking as if he was glad of my answer.

“I’ve never died before. Can you speak even if you become a spirit?”

“It may be possible for spirits to communicate with each other, but it is difficult to convey one’s voice to the living.”

“I see.”

The count stroked his chin as if thinking about something for a moment.

“Please remember this well.”

The count suddenly stretched his right arm up to the sky.

“The movement is large, so it can be seen from afar. If you raise your right arm like this, it means to attack directly.”

“yes?”

This time, his left arm rose into the sky and swayed from side to side.

“This one has a little more movement. If you see the current appearance, retreat unconditionally.”

“….”

The count waved both arms simultaneously again.

“It means that you can’t grasp the situation.”

“…Your Majesty, surely not?”

Why would someone who might die come to me and ask me such a question?

The fact that the Count’s condition remains the same despite being the vanguard of the religious order may be because he has decided to die.

As expected, what the Count said was exactly as I had expected.

“If I die, I will climb the mountain as a spirit.”

“….”

“Let me take charge of reconnaissance.”

“The spirits are possessed by something right now. It is highly likely that the Count is one of them.”

“If that happens, there’s nothing we can do about it, but please remember it anyway.”

After a few more signals, the Count left.

“under….”

I just ended up sighing.

That’s because the old man who woke us up earlier was watching us.

“Sir, I’m telling you this just in case, but you absolutely must not climb the mountain.”

– ……..

“If you go there, your soul may be corrupted. I can comfort you, but if you are corrupted, you will have to be locked in a bottle. There is already one person there.”

– …..

“You understand, right?”

From what I’ve seen, this old man is no ordinary stubbornness.

How bad must it have been for him to fight like that even after death?

If you are a soul crazy about fighting, then this is nonsense.

All of these are actions taken to protect something.

“All elders are stubborn.”

The people here and even the elderly in the graveyard behind the shrine.

What are you so worried about?

This is why ancestral gods go through hardships to look after their descendants.

“All you knights, come here.”

“Are you talking about us?”

“If you have any money, take it out with all your heart. At least 5 coppers, and at most 5 silver.”

“…Money?”

Pick it up one by one.

Knights who take out money even though they are bewildered.

“Please understand that people in the same industry are paying in advance. It’s okay if those five people don’t come.”

There’s not enough time to see everything.

Even at the very least, there are thousands of people, so how can you possibly see them all?

I had to pick out only the people who were obviously likely to be in big trouble.

Daughter –

“Sir, be careful of your legs tomorrow. If possible, stick with your colleagues.”

“Yes! Thank you!”

“Sir, you have to get through tomorrow well. Life can get messed up. Come here.”

“Yes…yes!!”

An article that is startling at the idea that life can be messed up.

I took an amulet out of my bosom and put it in her hand.

“It’s a talisman to ward off evil. Whenever I have an impulsive thought, I just grab it and calm my mind.”

“thank you!”

“The priest over there will have his jaw blown off.”

Ouch.

I felt the priest’s body stiffen, but I didn’t have time to pay attention because the scenes flashing through my head were more shocking.

A person who died from having his jaw torn off.

“Wherever you go, find some armor and put it on.”

The knight next to him was also quite an unusual person.

A person who gives off brilliant light but makes strange efforts.

“Did you only practice prayer, sir?”

“How do you do that…!”

“If you were born with the fate of a knight, you should swing a sword…”

If you have a job that suits your destiny, you have to work hard to develop it.

Life itself will flow like that, so wouldn’t it be easier to just go with the flow?

If you row in the other direction, you will inevitably encounter difficult times.

Just like this.

“If you neglect your swordsmanship training, you will run into trouble. This won’t be resolved in a short period of time, so don’t fight actively.”

“…yep!”

I went around telling people’s fortunes.

There were more ominous horoscopes than I thought.

There were even people who burned to death despite calling the elves.

From the religious sect to the common soldiers.

This also included knights who had gone out to scout outside the castle.

In addition, as I was receiving the overall fortune telling, the sun was rising in the distance.

“Whew… I feel tired, like I just had a good time…”

“Are you okay?”

Serena was fidgeting, but what could she do?

All shamans’ fortunes are like this.

“I’m glad you didn’t get a nosebleed.”

If it were in the past, my nose would have been bleeding profusely.

It’s fortunate that my level of expertise has deepened over time.

“Preparations for the expedition are complete. We can attack at any time as long as the elves arrive.”

“Sir. I was planning to come see you anyway. You came to the right place.”

Elder Paramon came up to me and patted me on the shoulder.

“You always have a hard time.”

Right now, it doesn’t matter whether it’s hardship or not.

“We have to leave right away.”

“Without the elves joining?”

“If we go together, everything related to fire will disappear, but the number of people who die will increase.”

I expected that they would change their plans after checking on the elves.

Still, I can’t be sure since the airlift hasn’t come down yet when it comes to the mountain peak.

“It’s something I’ve found in common with many people.”

“Let’s go. We can leave as soon as the formation is ready.”

As the inspiration said, most of the troops were already outside the castle.

Only the bare minimum number of people are on the wall in case of an emergency.

Even after leaving the city gate, I had to walk for a long time before I could finally join the front ranks.

“Take the holy sword.”

All the commanders came to the front and stood facing the soldiers.

I wondered if it was my place, but I was standing there too.

“How do you plan to use the Holy Sword?”

“…”

“Lord Chris?”

I couldn’t answer.

Because the sight before my eyes was so complicated.

The overflowing misfortunes.

The emotions that have settled underneath it.

Could Luna be seeing something similar?

He was quietly looking into the distance behind me.

“Chris?”

I saw Allure approaching me and then stopping.

No, I felt it.

Shudder.

The trees were swaying in the distance.

Its appearance resembled mine quite a bit.

It also seemed like he was waving both arms as if he was doing something good.

Serena’s voice was heard.

“…the branches are shaking.”

I’ve experienced it once.

The shaking of the branches gave me strength.

My mind, which had become hazy, regained clarity.

I feel like all the fatigue from leaking secrets has been washed away.

Woohoo –

“Seo…the holy sword…”

Along with Aluard’s voice, the voice of Pharamon was also heard.

Judging by the loud shouting, it seemed like he was giving a speech to the soldiers.

Woohoo –

Luna peeked her head out from behind at the sound of the holy sword swinging.

“Lower part?”

Finally, Luna turned her head toward the tree, exhaled air, and trembled her lips.

Purur.

“It looks like it’s going to rain.”

There is a popular saying that if a baby cries, it will rain.

I don’t know how things will turn out, but it’s something I’m happy about.

Luna clung to my back and said something.

“Zauuu!”

“Can you give me the Holy Sword?”

A holy sword wrapped in white cloth.

As the cloth was removed, a cool sword was revealed.

“I was trying to get help, but I didn’t know you would help me this much.”

The fatigue washes away as soon as you hold the holy sword.

Both the tree and the holy sword were extremely friendly.

“There’s no need to plant it in the ground.”

I stretched out both arms to the left and right.

So that the heads of the holy sword and bell point towards the sky.

Whirik –

A body that rotates naturally.

The holy sword scattered divine power in all directions.

Flash –

The world spins and the afterimages of the holy sword and bells scatter in a chaotic manner.

Other things were visible among the passing afterimages.

Undead were gathered all over the mountain.

I also felt the manas strangely clumped together.

The timing was also right now.

It’s the perfect time to leave right away.

Towering.

When I stopped, everyone’s eyes were focused on me.

It seemed as if the souls that had been absent-minded had awakened.

“….It seems the young master has done something again. Why is there such a light from the Holy Sword?”

“you…”

Elder Paramon is looking at me with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

I opened my mouth right away.

“We have to leave right away.”

“Shouldn’t you have told me in advance… I put a lot of effort into that speech…”
