I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband - Chapter 148
148 – Clearance
A late night covered in clouds without a single trace of moonlight.
People wearing armor with the church’s emblem on appeared at a residence in the northern village.
The reason why they reappeared not long after the knights patrolling inside the village returned was
This is to urgently arrest suspects in the Pope assassination case.
From noble mtl dot come
Of course, I used the word arrested, but
In emergency situations or if there is a risk of flight, permission has been given to shoot.
All of them have top-notch skills.
In addition, Asut, the Pope’s son who commands them, is a master of swordsmanship and owns the December series.
And as anyone could see, they were different from ordinary knights.
Unlike the regular knights who wore pure white armor and swords, they wore black and red armor and held wide swords.
The sword is a sun-moon sword made after the ‘Il-wol-dae sword’, one of the twelve-month series carried by Asut.
They drew their swords from their belts, and Ashut drew his sword from his belt.
The blue moonlight, which was hidden by dark clouds, reflected on the sword and began to glow faintly.
“Commander, the siege is complete.”
The adjutant, who had been running around so much that a bitter taste came to his mouth, began to report next to Ashut.
Inside, three people were busy sleeping without even knowing they were surrounded.
Since it was the same as the number the saint’s husband found, he nodded.
“The 1st and 2nd companies maintain a circle and surround. The 3rd company is waiting at the entrance, the 4th company is waiting at the back entrance, and the 5th company goes in together.”
“Yes. What should the 6th Company do?”
“The 6th Company is spread out and on standby in preparation for any unexpected situation.”
“All right.”
As soon as his adjutant heard the order, he began to inform his men.
The ring they wear on their right hand is a long-distance communication magic tool that allows communication even at a distance.
Yes, it has the disadvantage of not working if it is more than 1km away.
It is an indispensable magic tool when traveling or in the military.
“Whoa…”
Ashut checked the ‘Sun and Moon Blade’ he was holding in his hand.
A sword that reflects the blue moonlight and literally looks like the moon.
Compared to other December series such as Red Eye Moon Sword and True Moon God Sword, it is inferior overall.
As a being chosen by Artemis, the companion god of the main goddess of Hellenes, he had absolutely no sense of fear or dread.
“heartbreak?”
“hmm?”
“Ready to rush in.”
Ashut tapped the capable and quick-witted adjutant on the shoulder.
Because he seemed a little nervous.
Of course.
They are also an intelligence organization that assassinates those who are harmful to the Church.
A person who is prepared to kill is also prepared to die.
They are painfully aware that if they do not deal with them with the mindset of killing with a single blow, they will die.
How many colleagues did they send away?
“Now that I think about it, is it soon the anniversary of Hate’s death?”
“It’s also the anniversary of Jesse’s death.”
“I see…”
The names of colleagues they could never erase flowed from their minds.
This is because the colleagues who just mentioned died in a situation similar to today.
Ashut took out preparations for a charge and approached his subordinates holding the Sun and Moon Blade in their hands.
There are members who usually tremble in unavoidable fear, but strangely, today was different.
There is no fear or fear shining in their eyes, just a desire for revenge.
Three knights who died while fighting to protect the Pope.
Right now, they think that they are no different from those who are standing here, but they still have the heart to think of their comrades.
“Capture him alive if possible… That’s out of the question.”
Ashut also has no intention of being captured alive.
One of the criminals has already been arrested and is being tortured incessantly.
That is already enough.
“There is no need to capture him alive. Just kill him unconditionally.”
“”yes.””
“These are the guys who killed our comrades.”
Anyone can see him grinding his teeth in anger.
It was their leader who was sad and angry at the death of his colleagues.
“inrush.”
With one word from Asut, the entrance door shattered.
***
“It’s an intrusion!”
The sound of footsteps going up the stairs.
The difference between the doors is such that one cannot tell whether they are made to open or to open.
With such a sound, the inside of the building was very confused.
They know that it is a nuisance to others who are not involved, but the most important thing to them is to deal with the assassins.
By the time they noticed, it was already too late.
Nearly a hundred knights occupied every floor of the building, and those sleeping inside were surrounded.
okay.
It was no longer an intrusion.
They were just spending their time sleeping, but their territory was taken over by the knights.
Even though it was too late, I got up, took out the sword I was wearing at my waist, and used strengthening magic to strengthen my body.
Since they were also assassins who were recognized in the back world, they did not panic or panic.
“Damn. I thought I couldn’t see Ed!”
“Uh…what should I do?”
“What can I do? What can I do? The moment I see an opening, I have to kill everyone and run away!”
The place where they settled down was underground.
The worst environment, with no windows and no escape if surrounded.
How could you have imagined it?
There were a hundred knights inside, and less than ten people entered the basement.
However, there are more than 400 knights surrounding the area in a circle outside.
Yeah, I can’t imagine.
How could anyone know that so many people were mobilized to arrest just three people?
That’s why they could even think of running away.
This is because it was thought that around 10 people would be able to escape if they saw an opening.
The knights of the Order raise their swords and silence the desire to cut down and kill at any moment.
I backed away slightly from the entrance when I heard the sound of leather shoes coming down the marble stairs.
The one who appeared at the entrance was Asut.
There were already traces of blood on his sword.
“heartbreak.”
“The guy above was ‘inevitably’ killed.”
“Aren’t you planning to ‘inevitably’ kill these guys too?”
“Fuhu….right….”
Ashut took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away the blood on his ‘Ilwoldaedo’.
The faces of the assassins who saw that scene showed no hope of escaping.
All I could find was despair.
Because they never imagined that it would kill them.
These are assassins who tried to kill the Pope.
I thought they would arrest and kill him to find out who was behind it, and then kill him after finding out everything.
“You guys are under arrest for attempting to assassinate the Pope.”
“Arrest? Don’t talk nonsense. Don’t you know that your eyes are filled with the intention to kill us!”
These were not words for someone who came with blood on his knife.
They could already tell that they had no intention of arresting him.
Arrest is just a justification.
Even if the Templars and Ashut arrest the two and drag them to the ground, they plan to cut off their heads once they reach the ground.
There are also no eyes to see.
If you report that he went on a rampage and killed you, the knights will write down a report and say that your life is so unremarkable.
“So? You want to give it a try?”
The adjutant who was watching quietly next to Ashut smiled and said.
He was also one of the killers who went through countless hells as a top-notch prosecutor.
“I will make you regret coming to attack us with only 11 people.”
“Eleven people? What are you talking about?”
Ashut laughed out loud and asked, “What on earth are you misunderstanding?”
The knights who heard the laughter also began to laugh along.
That’s not all.
The laughter grew louder and louder, and it seemed like laughter could be heard from outside the door…and even outside the building.
“What…what’s so funny!”
“I’m coming to catch you guys, but did you really think they came with only 11 people? It seems like they’re looking down on the Church of Jesus.”
“What!”
“I guess I’ll have to watch your despairing expressions until the end. Don’t kill them, capture them alive.”
“Yes, leader.”
As soon as he gave his command, ten people who were standing rushed towards the two people.
The beautiful Sun-Moon Island was illuminated by a torch, and instead of glowing blue, it began to glow slowly with a burning orange glow.

“You can’t stand upright and walk!”
“Tsk..”
The two men, tied with ropes with both arms, were beaten with sword sheaths and walked out.
A transmitter magic tool that tracks their location and a magic tool that blocks magical power are embedded in their backs, making them unable to do anything or run away.
In this world, beings without magic cannot survive.
No matter how much you escape the village, there are monsters swarming outside.
dump.
As soon as he came outside, the assassins kicked his leg shins and made him fall to his knees.
I couldn’t see clearly because my eyes were dark, but I somehow raised my head and checked my surroundings.
“What….is this….”
“Did you see? A total of 500 people were mobilized to catch you guys.”
“Tsk….”
“When you go to hell, it would be a good idea to brag to your heart’s content with your fellow b*stards. They said that an order of knights close to one mile moved to capture them.”
Ashut laughed mockingly and nodded, calling out to his subordinate who was slightly away.
Two people holding a sun and moon sword that shines blue in the moonlight.
They were younger brothers who lost their older brothers to assassins who were on their knees.
“Thank you, Captain.”
“Don’t thank me, thank your husband and mama.”
“……yes.”
The two people once again thanked Asut.
Ashut nodded, indicating that it was okay to do so.
“Now…wait a minute!”
“Uh…if you kill us, you’re behind it…! You’re behind it!”
“Did I think you guys didn’t know that you were hired by the Saga of the Queen of the Kingdom of Lolth?”
The saint’s husband, her husband, Mama, had already found out everything through a magic called confession magic.
Therefore, the value of the lives of the kneeling assassins was infinitely close to zero.
“Wha…what…”
“Go to hell and wait for your master. He will send you soon.”
“W…what is that!!”
From noble mtl dot come
Suddenly.
Suddenly.
The sound of solid bones and meat being cut together echoed through the night.
It was an unnatural night only because the sound was not heard from the butcher shop or slaughterhouse.
