Siris passed right by the charging paladins. As blood blooms, the three knights’ necks are cut off and fly into the air.
“Cluck cluck!”
With a roar, Siris stirred wildly among the paladins. The Holy Knights of Sayre are one of the strongest on the continent, but now they are no different from a flock of sheep as they shrink from fear and anger. Like a wolf attacking a flock of sheep, it ravages and ravages.
One of the Holy Knights groaned at the sight.
“And, berserker… … .”
Christine, who was worse off, bit the troops.
“Everyone stand back! “I will deal with that bitch alone!”
Raising all her divine power, Christine concentrated all her power on Messiah. The light of the sacred sword grew nearly 3 meters in size. Add to that the incredible power gained through your unique breathing skills!
“Taaaat!”
A simple but powerful blow was aimed at Siris. She couldn’t be ignored, so Siris dodged her by throwing away her body. In the meantime, the paladins retreated and it became a one-on-one confrontation.
Christine fired off a series of attacks. Siris also reacted immediately and continued to fight back.
Siris, who had the upper hand in speed, easily dodged the attack and struck Christine’s entire body several times.
bang! Tatang!
A metallic sound rings through the armor, and the sturdy armor is dented here and there. Even if there is no damage to the fabric, the impact steadily accumulates and causes injury. Red blood seeps out little by little through the broken armor.
However, despite being cornered, Christine did not break down easily.
After crossing the line a few times, Siris stepped back and looked a little surprised.
“Is it pretty? “I guess you haven’t played in a while?”
Christine’s armor was made with special care by the Sayre Church, and was much stronger than that of other Paladins. However, it is not to the point where it cannot be destroyed with Siris’ element.
The problem was Christine’s divine protection contained in that armor. The power of divine protection is much higher than when it was used before. This is why it is more difficult now than when joining forces with the Paladins.
“But I wasn’t playing either, was I?”
Christine has become stronger, but Siris has also become stronger. The gap between them still remains.
“I’ll kill you for sure this time, Christine!”
Siris went on the offensive again. Christine shouted as she tried to block the rain pouring down like heavy rain.
“Do you think I will be defeated easily?”
“Whether it’s easy or hard, you’re going to get it in the end, right? “What are you bragging about?”
Christine was not offended by Siris’ mockery. Instead, she smiled back.
“At least we can tie your bitch’s feet, mad Valencia!”
“What changes when you tie your feet?”
Christine also responded to Siris’s sneer with a sneer.
“The situation.”
Christine glanced sideways at the battlefield.
This is a battlefield where hundreds of paladins and trolls fight together.
“You are definitely strong. But what about the lowly things you brought with you? “How long do you think these trolls, who are ignorant of combat, can last?”

The troll soldiers who attacked at night were fighting the paladins throughout the burning fortress.
Most of the troll soldiers had climbed over the fence and gained an advantageous position. Looking at the situation, it was as if the fortress had been occupied. Now that the front yard has already been surrendered, the fortress no longer functions properly. Considering that paladins are experts in combat and trolls are illiterate in combat, this is a truly surprising result.
It was all thanks to Carol.
Karl predicted the progress of the fortress’s construction based solely on the rough description provided by the magic messenger. He predicted the night vigil situation and camp of the Holy Knights through the information he had received so far. He even saw through the sentry’s field of vision and his blind spot.
Accordingly, they decided on an infiltration route, distributed troops, figured out the most efficient time, and planned a surprise operation. Carol’s strategy was truly exquisite, and the Holy Knights were helpless in allowing the night attack. The Paladins responded as he expected, to the point where he doubted whether it would be a difficult battle.
The result is a situation where you are fighting against troll soldiers, losing all the advantages of the fortress.
More than half of the paladins were not even properly armed. Except for those who stood guard and those located inside the fortress, there was no time to put on armor, so they had to fight with only a sword in hand.
It was truly a surprise operation that was a complete success.
However, none of the paladins fell.
“How foolish, Mad Valencia.”
Christine frowned coldly.
“The surprise attack itself was truly amazing. But the military force that does it is truly insignificant.”
A paladin is a paladin even if he or she has no armor or is wearing nothing but a sword. As Christine expected, there was no damage whatsoever from the sudden surprise attack.
“What did you expect by dragging a weak old man or woman like a soldier?”
The trolls’ regenerative ability was so great that they were still fighting, but the victory had long since tilted towards the Paladins. After about 10 more minutes, the troll soldier’s regenerative power will be exhausted and he will die immediately.
“And then all that’s left is four years.”
Christine laughed out loud.
“In the end, the fate of the four years is one! To die a miserable death among the corpses of a thousand things! “You will pay the price for ignoring even the basics of tactics!”
Siris clapped her hands.
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
… … Christine was taken aback because it wasn’t the reaction she expected.
“W-what nonsense are you talking about?”
“It’s my first time seeing you speak so calmly. “If you don’t have anything to do with Cilan, you’re a smart kid.”
“Ugh! Are you mocking me?”
“… … “Looking at the way you talk, it seems like things aren’t working properly, right?”
“Ugh!”
Christine gritted her teeth.
‘Okay, I’m acting like that now, but I’m going to die soon anyway… … .’
Suddenly, Siris shook his head indifferently.
“But, didn’t I tell you earlier?”
“huh?”
For a moment, Christine was taken aback. Why is Siris’ expression still so relaxed?
“So that tactic is just a human one.”
Siris shouted without even looking back.

“Titima! “Is it still far away?”
Her voice, containing the power of the element, resounded far beyond the vast fortress. The Paladins who were fighting were embarrassed and turned their heads towards the direction from which they heard the sound.
“What is this again?”
It was then.
In a dark forest, the shadows of two people appeared on a tall tree.
It was a beautiful red-haired beauty, and a pretty troll girl holding the beauty’s waist to keep her from falling.
“Ah, Titima. “Is this too high?”
“Hold on, you have to be this high to be able to see the entire fortress.”
“I know that, but it’s still too high…” … .”
“I’m holding on well, so let’s get started.”
The Holy Knights who saw the red long-haired beauty burst into shouts.
“Who is he?”
“Goddess of corruption!”
“It’s Archbishop Cilan!”
At that moment, Cilan’s expression became crumpled.
‘Ah, even if you have a title, why is it like that?’
Silan, who brought the miracle of Philanense to this land – at least that’s what the people of the world knew – was no longer called by titles such as the young sage. For someone who had accomplished such a great feat that seemed impossible without the incarnation of the goddess herself, “young sage” was a very insignificant title.
Both the Philanense Church and the people of Antares reverenced Silan and praised her as the ‘incarnation of the goddess.’ Now in the eastern part of the continent, Silan was better known by the title of Goddess Incarnation.
On the other hand, the act of siding with a different race and betraying humanity was nothing more or less than corruption to Sayre’s followers. Therefore, in the western part of the continent, she was called the corruption goddess Silan, and along with the treacherous knight Cyrus, she became an object of hatred as much as other races.
Well, I didn’t really care about whether the Imperial Army hated Cilan or not… … .
‘Why are you a goddess?’
Strictly speaking, that title means ‘the incarnation of the goddess has become corrupted.’ Although it is meant to be a degree, it is different from the listener’s perspective. There’s a goddess attached to the title, but who would think it’s a man?
From the beginning, there were rumors about him and Silan, and Silan’s beauty also played a role, so there were a lot of people who thought Silan was a woman from the beginning. The title of the Philanense Church did not take into account Silan’s gender at all.
‘Oh, what do you know! ‘Let it happen!’
Out of desperation, Silan ignored that title. Now that Leffenhardt was dead, there was no time to worry about ‘trivial rumors’ like that.
Cilan gathered both hands to his chest, raising his divine power. The star badge hanging on his chest began to emit a pink star light.
“Philanense… … .”
I pray earnestly, calling on the name of the goddess I believe in and follow.
“Give favor to your servant!”
The formidable divine power that reached the level of the Pope turned into pink holy light and covered the entire fortress.
☆ ☆ ☆
The trolls that were flocking around suddenly changed. Everyone stands up again with vitality in their eyes.
The complexions of some paladins changed.
“Is it divine protection?”
“That’s also the protection of the Goddess of Corruption… … .”
The divine power of Silan, the goddess of corruption, was already within the top five even on the continent. Thanks to her formidable power, even if she is a civilian, she can show combat power equivalent to that of a regular soldier.
Moreover, if the opponent is a troll with strong regenerative power, he or she may pose the threat of an elite soldier!
“Did you really believe this?”
Surprisingly, the paladins were not that embarrassed. In fact, in the case of his adjutant, Sir Malton, he even became calm.
“The Imperial General Staff is truly capable.”
Increasing a unit’s combat power by granting it the priest’s protection is already common sense even in human warfare. Considering the danger of Troiad, it was worth taking the risk of Silan himself participating in the battle. The Imperial General Staff also expected this.
“There is no need to panic.”
“Isn’t this already expected?”
“You still can’t be our opponent!”
Even if they are a different race from Antares, they are still civilians. No matter how much he wears Silan’s protection, he cannot close the gap that much against the Five Hundred Holy Knights. Well, the Empire didn’t expect that everyone except the orcs, elves, and dwarves would be dragged into the trolls, but even so, the result wouldn’t be much different.
Christine looked sadly at Cilan in the distance.
“Ah, Cilan. “I didn’t want to believe it, but you really showed up.”
Her eyes are filled with determination as she sees her only love, who has fallen into corruption and deviated from the ‘right path’ for a moment.
“I will definitely save you. I will definitely bring you back to your senses. And let’s go back to the church together. Sayer is generous and will surely forgive you.”
Although Christine’s voice was not within earshot, Cilan instinctively trembled. Siris clicked her tongue.
“No, why does a priest of Philanence have to go to the Sayre Church and ask for forgiveness?”
Christine’s expression changed to fierce and she glared at Siris again.
“I guess you were trying to get out of this situation by tricking Silan? joy! no use! “As long as the foundation is a civilian, no matter how much divine protection it receives, it won’t be a match for a paladin, right?”
Certainly, the current level of troll soldiers has risen from the regular army level to the elite army level. So, by human standards.
No matter how great Silan’s protection is, it is impossible to elevate these people, who are basically civilians, to the level of elite soldiers of a different race. The basic abilities are very different.
