Tale of the Fake Hero - Chapter 247



Only Noblemtl

Season 3: Episode 55

The result of beautiful loyalty and great morale was dismal.

Flesh and blood strewn across the sand was the end of the 1,468 Blood Horse Cavalry.

Some had their eyes bulging out, others had their internal organs emptied out, and the intense Antarctic heat had already dried out the corpses and made them rustle.

“There is no time to collect the bodies or bury them. Burn them all.”

All funerals on the battlefield were cremations.

Makeup on the battlefield had a long tradition of religious as well as practical reasons.

The fire washes their bodies and souls clean from the abyss, so that they can go to the kingdom of light… … .

‘I’m sorry. If I had been a little stronger, I could have protected everything.’

It was at that time that we were collecting the corpse in a state of bone-chilling helplessness.

The heat of the polar regions and the fatigue from the war suddenly came rushing back to me as a dizzy feeling.

When I missed the body and was about to fall down, someone held my body steady.

“Where are you hurt?”

Later in life, as I lived a long life, I saw such a beautiful and virtuous young man. Jabal was the first, Aydin was the second, and Yohan was the last.

Beauty.

A man who could only be described in a fairy tale.

He was as tall as any other payqueer, and his eyes, covered with long eyelashes, had a quiet weight to them.

“Your behavior is unusual. Let me take a look.”

As his nickname, Hong-ui Priest, suggests, he wore red robes, and his long lapels gave him a handsome appearance.

However, perhaps because he wore detailed leather and armor over his priestly attire, he had a holy spirit that was more like a warrior than a priest.

The priest Hong touched Camilla’s forehead and stomach in turn, then shook his head.

“Fortunately, there is no physical problem. He just seems tired.”

Aydin placed his fingers, making the sign of the cross, on Camilla’s forehead and recited a verse.

Then the hand was enveloped in a holy light… … .

To my surprise, the tension in my heart eased and my dizzy mind became more organized.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“yes!”

“Then please help me.”

“How may I help you?”

“We need to find people who need emergency medical attention. There are still people alive. Can you run around shouting, ‘Injured, injured.’ Then someone will let out a short groan.”

Camilla nodded her head wildly. She could be of help even in this dire situation.

Still, someone is alive.

We made trumpets and ran around shouting for the wounded. Soon we found about 50 wounded people who were on the verge of death and handed them over to Aydin.

“Ah, priest… … .”

Every time, Father Hong placed his hands on the foreheads of the wounded and offered up a fervent prayer.

“Don’t say anything. The mission is over. Please stay here and wait.”

The injured people’s complexions immediately cleared and their breathing became regular.

An extraordinary divine power that stabilizes even those who have suffered fatal injuries… … .

However, not everyone could be cured, and euthanasia was provided to those who had no hope.

“I, I want to repent… … to my mother and to my father, for all my life, I have only regrets… … .”

I can’t stand it.

Things I wanted to endure.

Aydin listened to everything from beginning to end, something he could only honestly confess at the end of his life.

“When I was young, I cursed at my mother, asking why she gave birth to me if I was going to be like this… … I regret that all my life… … I wanted to atone for that… … I participated in this sacred fight… … .”

At the end of the story, Aydin nodded with a sadder smile than the other person could muster.

“Before the end of this day, the Father of Creation will have you reunite with your kin in the paradise of Creation. So, now close your eyes in peace.”

The patient, who had been panting in pain from having his lower body completely twisted, fell asleep with a peaceful smile like a child the moment the light appeared from Aydin’s fingertips.

That sight looked holy.

Aydin not only gave light and rest to the primitive people who were supposed to die but were unable to die and were still writhing.

Aydin’s hands and sleeves were both soaked with blood and dirt. Camilla, without being asked, dabbed the sweat from his face with a handkerchief.

“Is the Blood Horse Legion staying on the battlefield to repent… … ?”

Camilla suddenly spoke up.

With Vinessa Alter Renault, you always stay on the battlefield… … Is it to fight and die?

Aydin shook his head.

“I think it’s because I lived a life of regret and then came to believe in heaven.”

“… … ?”

“When we arrive in heaven, we will hunger and thirst for righteousness in order to meet those who have gone before us. The way to achieve that righteousness is to shoulder our own mission.”

mission?

How do you know you have been given a mission?

“The power and talent we have been given is our mission. It is the providence of creation that allows us to care for those who are weaker than us.”

In such a hot environment, such a difficult sermon would never have entered the mind of the ignorant Camilla.

Camilla twitched her lips.

After much hesitation, really much hesitation, the question I originally wanted to ask finally came out of my mouth.

“The Master says that the disciple of the pay querier must die before he can become a pay querier. So, should I also send my master off first like this?”

The priest’s expression was calm.

Because there was no ups and downs in the words or actions themselves, there was no sense of emotional excitement.

“How about if the priest heals you? Like he did now.”

I couldn’t believe it.

No, I didn’t want to believe it. Not just before, and not even now… … .

‘The teacher is going to die.’

A fate where I have no choice but to die.

In the end, it is the fate of a warrior that the master and disciple must be separated by the wall of death…

Suddenly, a bloody vision of my master being struck down by an enemy’s sword on the battlefield flashed before my eyes.

‘ah…….’

Camilla stopped wiping Aydin’s sweat and shivered, squeezing her eyes shut.

“I was ordained a priest when I was very young, about your age now, and was sent to this fishing village in the far south of Antarctica.”

“… … ?”

“The villagers were really good people. There was a foundation of purity in their innocence.”

“… … .”

“The children called me ‘teacher’ and the adults called me ‘young priest’. I was young and embarrassed at the time and could not fully return the favor. I used to think that someday, when I became an adult, I would return the favor.”

Camilla blinked.

Why am I telling you this story?

“They all died at the hands of the Uruk pirates. The adults were cut in two by axes from the top of their heads to the chest, and the children were torn alive and killed. The good memories are almost forgotten now, but the image is still vivid in my mind, which is sad.”

“that……!”

“Everyone dies someday. People know this, but they deny it. They think that the people around them will never die.”

“… … .”

“Humans are truly sad creatures. They are precious, so they deny the fact that they will lose them. That is why they treat those who are truly precious to them carelessly. They think that those who are precious will always be by their side in the name of daily life.”

Aydin gestured to Eshir, who was serving Vinessa on the other side.

“But what about you? You know that your parents and teachers will eventually die. You know that there is no time to act recklessly, so you become adults in an instant.”

“… … .”

“I can only give you one piece of advice. If you despair like this because you found out that your teacher has a limited time left, wouldn’t your teacher’s heart also be sad?”

Aydin gently stroked Camilla’s head with his hands, which were clean of blood and dirt.

“What you have to do is not to make such a sad face, but to do your best to leave only good memories until the day you part with your teacher.”

“… … !”

“Become a disciple who, on the last day, the teacher can think, ‘Oh, I am so glad I took this child as my disciple.’ Don’t live a life of regret like us.”

At that moment, I felt something like a ray of light shining into the darkness in my heart.

ah…….

How can words be so clear? These are the words used by those who follow the teachings of light. I feel similar to the Master… … .

“yes!”

As Camilla nodded vigorously, the priest nodded in return and took his hand away.

“Okay, then let’s continue what we were doing.”

Second Step, Accompanied by the Leading Payquerier (10)

“Except for the high priests, the Falk-Sha, the Necrons are a vile and cowardly race. They would never have come to the forefront.”

“The Emperor’s son, Balbray, said:

“There’s absolutely no way they’ve made a nest in . They’re probably hiding somewhere nearby. So we’re going to search the area.”

Shapell, a wizard from the Osarius School, lifted his hat slightly and asked.

“But why is it a fishing village?”

“Because Necrons like places with lots of corpses. Aren’t there graveyards in villages?”

Vinessa Alter Renault nodded.

“It is as this false priest said. Aydin, gather the troops. We are going to capture the Necron High Priest.”

Asher showed her teacher a smiling face, holding her hands together like a girl going on vacation.

“Why, I’m suddenly excited? Why, on a hot day like this, getting some sea breeze is the best, Master.”

So, it took two weeks for the three thousand fairy soldiers and the one thousand five hundred dragoons to move from the ruined lands to the southwestern coastal area.

After about ten days, the thread controlling the ancient entity was cut, but the direction identification had already been completed.

After arriving at the coastal area, what we did for another ten days was to secretly explore the fishing villages in the area.

“Remember, the Necron priest must be captured alive.”

July 30, 1671 AD

Gult Village, a fishing village on the southwestern coast.

“Just keep that in mind, the mission is simple. Just wipe out the Necrons who have taken over the fishing village. Blow up everything, buildings or not. Also keep in mind, there are no survivors here. Don’t hesitate.”

Although it was clearly a raid, the operational framework was extremely thorough.

The Necron priest seemed not to have anticipated that his lair would be surrounded by a cage of silver chains.

Who would have expected something like this?

The Emperor’s messenger, Balbray, performed miracles on such a large scale that he sealed off the entire fishing village.

There was no hole for even a single rat to escape through. Nor was there a hole for it to enter through.

In other words, the guy was a rat in a trap.

The primitive army under his command had gone out near the Fallen Lands to search for the Blood Horse Corps, so there weren’t many troops stationed around this fishing village.

“Aydin will be providing long-range support for this operation. Squad leaders, take this knife.”

It was impressive that Aydin himself had engraved the holy words on the blade of the dagger.

This was a coordinate caller.

The coordinates of the place where this dagger was thrown and stuck were shared with Aydin, and he is said to have immediately provided long-range artillery support.

“Now we move by squad. Asher, you will be the vanguard of the left wing search as an independent squad.”

Asher nodded and handed over three of the six daggers he had received to Camilla.

“Camilla, throw this where you think support is needed. Let’s go!”

As the suppression operation began, we entered the fishing village with Eshir, where an eerie howling sound was heard.

At some point.

The outer walls of houses were completely destroyed, and primitive people with grotesquely deformed bodies rushed in, breaking through the roof.

– The fourth form of the ten-letter alphabet is bal (?).

Camilla’s eyes move busily as she places her hand on the hilt of the sword.

Three.

And then, for a moment, I took a deep breath.

One sword cuts both ways.

The beginning of the first attack is the 5th sudden attack, which cuts off the body of the first primitive man and forms a foothold for magical power.

Kick it and jump diagonally.

With the 7th type of True Brain Dragon, he knocks down the second primitive man from the air, then does a somersault and pulls out the 6th type of Island Slash with the remaining magical power of the True Brain Dragon. He then slices the third primitive man’s body vertically.

“Camilla, that’s amazing! The deep super combo was instantaneous!”

I know for myself that I have grown tremendously during the month I spent in the Blood Demon Corps.

but…….

My breathing became labored. It wasn’t because I was tired. Whenever I faced the Necrons’ primitive armies or the blood-slaves of the Bloodline, breathing itself became difficult.

In the past… … .

No, until recently… … .

They must have been ordinary people living their daily lives. But it was against such people that I had to swing my sword.

“Camilla, throw the knife over there! It’s artillery support!”

There was no time to lose one’s thoughts. Primitive people were pouring out of the villages to the northeast.

I threw a knife at him.

In fact, I had no expectations until then. How much artillery support could I expect in such a wasteland?

however…….

The moment the dagger was stuck in the village pillar, the moment the awards turned golden, I realized how rude that thought was.

Tervel, the sun of the sky.

A miracle representing that monarch… … the Blue Sky Wave.

A spear shining with holy light flew into the village, struck the village, and then exploded brilliantly.

That light burns the curse.

The light of civilization shines into the primitive darkness. The darkness cannot overcome the light and collapses.

“Are you going to finish it?! Brother Aydin is the first priest in human history to be able to use the miracle of Tervel!”

As I was freed from the curse, I heard someone mutter as he disappeared along with his primitive shell.

“””thank you…….”””

I swallow painfully and bite my lip to regain my resolve.

Let’s do what needs to be done.

That would be a relief to them.

“Complete clearance. There is no High Priest here. Move!”

Next we arrived at a ramp strewn with hideous, rotten nets and rotten, twisted fish waste.

There were lots of primitive people there too.

Eshir cut down ten men, Camilla six. Aydin’s Heavenly Sword was seen repeatedly striking down in other areas, not here.

– Primitive people are between 6 and 7 feet tall and walk on all fours like wild animals. This is because they were forced to be large in size to be useful for manual labor.

The dangerous species are those that jump high like birds, so caution is needed as they suddenly attack at any moment.

“There is no Supreme Priest here either! Camilla, fire a sound grenade and report back!”

“huh!”

Beep beep beep… … At that time, other human squads that were thoroughly sweeping the outskirts of the fishing village like a sieve were also detonating sound grenades.

There are no guys on the outskirts.

Even so, there is no problem.

The bastard is said to be in the center, but the one heading to the center is the strongest fairy soldier and also the strongest soldier of the current human race… … Vinessa Alter Renault.

“Camilla, let’s go to the center too.”

In the center, the resistance was several times more fierce than in the outskirts, but they were being crushed by the Elven soldiers equipped with the Holtrans camp under the command of Paladin Evesran.

“Unit, three steps forward!”

“1st row, shields locked!”

“Stab!”

Vinesa fired a sound grenade from the dockside section, not the central section, and summoned the executives.

“We have information that there is a refuge leading from the central section to here. We can’t let him go out to sea. We are going to rush in here.”

“But Master, I keep hearing screams from down here?”

“He must be rushing to create an escort force. When you turn a creature with high resistance to primitive transformation into a primitive, its soul’s resistance is quite strong.”

“baddie…….”

As Camilla muttered to herself, Vinessa sighed and swallowed a sad smile as she saw the vision of her old friend superimposed on her face, purely angry.

“Yes, I won’t let you do that anymore. Let’s go down. From here on out, it’s death. In short, this is the path that only warriors must take.”
