181 US $1,810.

I looked up at the sky, exhaling white.

An immense snow fell from the sky.

It's still winter away, but the temperature is cold because of the ice giant.

I turned my gaze and looked at the Frozen Giant Blur.

A giant with his throat cut in the middle of the city is dead with tears in his eyes.

Hangi is still in his body.

“Your Holiness. It's quite cold. Let's go inside.”

Charlotte covers her shoulders with fur.

I smiled bitterly at her and looked at the icy city.

“If you want to, you have to finish the job. ”

Hundreds of sacred undead have been summoned and are helping refugees.

Tens of thousands of refugees fleeing the city.

They have already lost their home.

There were also many who came to hear the news and rely on it.

Franz is no longer a safe place.

You killed the Frozen Giant Blur, but the invasion of the giant is not over.

Charlotte hesitated in my words. He opened his mouth carefully.

“The kingdoms of Iceland and Rom have been invaded to the south. ”

I nodded at that.

During the battle with the Ice Giants, the two nations were invaded by giants.

A Giant Invasion of a size unlike the Frozen Giant Blur.

With constant footsteps, they devastated the two kingdoms in just three weeks.

In Ireland, whites are still fighting, but Rom, who was unstable by the Naran, eventually collapsed as the capital was completely collapsed.

Barus Victoria, king of the Rom Kingdom, fought the Giants to the end and was eventually eaten.

“There shouldn't have been an order. ”

I pressed my temples as I recalled Serran's prophecy.

Franz, Rom and Ice.

There was no order.

Only a small difference, the giants invaded and lured the kingdoms almost simultaneously.

“Besides, we're not safe. ”

There are two ways to return to the Holy See.

Taking the road through Ireland and Rom.

Or we'll have to cross the mountain range and march through the Kingdom of Rome and return home.

If there is a problem, we cannot help tens of thousands of refugees.

Thanks to you, we in Franz are isolated.

“I can't protect everyone. Some people have to give up. ”

“I know. ”

Most giants will only attack the Great City.

Franz Kingdom, Rom, Iceland, etc.

They all focused on the big city.

For them, the entertainment of destructive pleasure is more than a small town.

You should use that.

I can't save everyone.

“Save those who can. ”

We have to save the ones we can see.

“If that's what you're going to do, you're going to use it. ”

I looked at the head of the Blur.

Giant's Head, that should serve as a warning to the other yotoons.

This is a lure to attract some arrogant yotoons.

“Earl Charlotte. ”

A paladin dressed in rune armor approaches.

He reports to Charlotte and gives her a parchment.

When Charlotte heard the story, she looked at me with an embarrassing look on her face.

“What's going on? ”

“We're ready to evacuate. You are free to depart at any time upon your command. And...”

Charlotte takes the parchment of the paladin and gives it to me.

“I've located Marcus' whereabouts. ”

"..."

Six Pope Marcus Ariana, to be considered my older brother.

He was caught by a vampire during the escape.

The paladins are after us, but we haven't caught the most maneuverable vampire yet.

But it looks like they've been chasing us again and again.

I spread parchment and kept my mouth shut.

It was not the information the paladins uncovered, but the suggestions of the Vampires.

“Deal?”

The Vampire proposed a deal.

Seems not to be a negotiation, he sent a letter in his own judgment.

The owner was a vampire named Agares, a duchess.

“Yes, they want you to release the Duke of Kirum and the Duke of Rufel II. Then I'll let Marcus go. ”

Kirum? When did he die?

Besides, the Dual Prince Rupel, he's not who they think he is.

Imperial information cannot be passed on to the Vampires, so the Vampires don't seem to know what the two are like.

I stroked my chin.

Strange.

Why are the Vampires so obsessed with the Second Prince Rupel?

Rumpel was also associated with the prophecy that would prevent the end of the Palmer case.

That way, there must be something that will stop the Giants.

“Where is Rufel? ”

“It is currently in a small village nearby. King Franz, Duke Lunan, Serrani, Marvel and Marcel are also in the village. ”

“What about security?”

“Lord Harman and some of the heavenly troops are in charge. Rest assured."

That means no problem.

"Is there any other way to the Palace of Justice? ”

"There is. We'll just have to get through the mountains. You will reach a territory on the border of the Rom Kingdom. But it will be an outrageous march.... ”

Charlotte is cautious.

It is because there are many stragglers who make mistakes.

If we give holy water to the weary, we can hold out for a while.

“Where is it? ”

“This is Chavez territory. It seems that the Vampires first occupied the border area after the Giants marched in and were wary of the Holy See Invasion. ”

“Occupied? Then... ”

“There are people in the Kingdom of Rome. There's an estimated 3,000 of them. There seems to be about 20,000 other undead out there. ”

In the event of an invasion by the Holy See, would you shield them all?

You're a fool, Vampire.

Hostages to the Holy Father.

“What about yotoons?”

“It doesn't appear to be in Chavez territory at this time. ”

A vampire is a good sign.

It doesn't matter.

“Can you communicate with your home country? ”

“It depends on the weather, but you can do it using a communication crystal or a bird. ”

“Please do so as soon as possible. ”

I want to talk to Hans about something.

“Tell also to the Vampires. I'll make you a deal.”

“What are you going to do? ”

I tilted my head toward Charlotte.

“That's obvious. I'm gonna kill them all. ”

“Tell them to come to Shabez territory. I'll rip your head off if you hurt Marcus. ”

Charlotte nods.

There is no deal with a vampire.

Because we have nothing that they want.

Eliminate them, find Marcus, and reclaim the path.

“But first, the Vampire has taken over. We need information about the survivors. Plant a reliable man in Chavez's territory. ”

Charlotte nods.

“I'll take action.”

Charlotte nods back.

I trimmed the fur over my shoulders.

When I saw the refugees again, I saw a familiar face.

Dwarves panting among refugees.

I could see the most familiar of them.

“Bellogue?”

It was the dwarf leader's bellogue.

The dwarves jump up and down, carrying loads much bigger than their bodies.

Bellogue gasps and stands before me on his knees.

Rather than being polite to the Holy Father, I felt just tired and fell down.

“Bellogue, an artisan in the lands of Hilda, greets His Holiness! ”

“It's been a long time. Four or five years? ”

Bellogue smiles bitterly, startled.

He will know.

That it's far beyond the point of appointment.

I also had a lot of regrets.

If he had come sooner, he would have taken down the Ice Giants easily.

“There must be a reason you're here. ”

The bellogue bows once at my word.

“I just finished my mission. ”

Bellogue unpacks.

And at the end, he gave me something elongated wrapped in a cloth.

“This is the weapon His Holiness commanded. ”

I accepted it.

I opened the cloth and opened my eyes wide.

A golden spear engraved with runes.

The window is also very sharp with a long window of about 2 meters.

I feel another energy that flows through the gentle force but contradicts him.

[Avaldi's Spear.

Ability: Magic Power between 150% and 700% Amplification and 50% Recovery, based on user's standard. All abilities related to Magical Power +20%. Reduce consumption by 15% when summoning. Ability of epilepsy.]

What's this new item?

It is not even comparable to the Relic of Amon.

What kind of person made this to get something like this?

“Where is the craftsman who made this? ”

Talents of this level are essential to the Holy See Administration.

It doesn't matter if it's a human or a dwarf.

If he were here, he would be able to cultivate a powerful armor.

I look at the bellogue, and the bellogue stops in shock, but lowers its head.

“I made that work and passed away. ”

“... I see. What about his body?”

“I cremated him and buried him. ”

Bellogue bows, sweating coldly.

You must be quite tired of shaking your horse.

“I owe you one. I'll put some flowers on the grave later. ”

“The armor is in the right hands, and he will be pleased. ”

“Well done. I thank you, and I thank my sister for lending you. If you want something later, tell me. I'll listen to anything you can hear me. ”

“Thank you.”

I looked at the spear.

I feel a lot just holding it.

Avaldi's spear.

It reminded me of the time of the Holy Father's succession.

“If this is it.”

Earl Timont opened the gates of purgatory in the middle of a crowd.

That's it.

“Maybe I can open it. ”

I narrowed my eyes and raised my spear.

* *

Charlotte began to select reliable men from the heavenly army.

Faithful and skillful.

A person with immortal willingness not to be defeated by a vampire, and experienced in practice.

They recruited volunteers, but Charlotte had no choice but to strap on her forehead.

“Why…. ”

Charlotte frowns and looks ahead.

I saw a middle-aged man who looked familiar to me.

“Haha! Charlotte, look forward to it. This time, I'm really going to throw the ball! ”

A man who excelled in the Crusades of 10,000 people and was promoted to the heavenly army.

With brown hair and a beard.

He's from the North, used to be a farmer and a man who helped Alan bury him. It was a grill.

Charlotte sighs deeply as she looks at her stepfather, Grill.

“No. ”

“No, why...? ”

As the grill shouts, Charlotte grabs the head of the grill and presses it down.

“No. ”

“Oh, Charlotte, that's too much. I'm your father. ”

“That's why I can't. Don't make me worry. ”

“... Oh, I'm so happy as a father that my daughter worries about me. ”

Grill smiles in agony.

There was someone kicking the knee of that grill.

"By the way, this guy... Distinguish your technician! ”

Next to the grill, a girl bows her head to Charlotte.

“This is Yuria, who signed up for this wash. ”

Charlotte looks at Yuria.

He was recommended by Allen to join the 10,000 Crusaders.

In fact, my skills are in the market.

He was good with crossbows and daggers, and had a different agility.

He has performed well in hands-on training and has caught three Creature Vampires.

“I will also support you. ”

Charlotte's gaze turns to the side.

One or two years older than Grill is a middle-aged man.

Prisoner in the North, mercenary in Ireland.

Edolf is a man.

He has a history of killing a descendant vampire.

By comparison.

Charlotte looks at the grill.

"... The Grill has no history. ”

“Well, you have to give it a chance! You've ruled out all the dangerous missions. ”

“I'm sure you've been assigned to the Capital Guard. What happened? ”

“... wrote a letter to Lord Harman. I want you to let me join the heavenly army. ”

Charlotte sighs, thinking of Haman.

For the safety of the Grill, I've been assigned to the Capital Guard.

I can't believe you're sneaking out here.

“And in the case of Chaver territory, I am well aware of that geography. ”

Grill, from the North of the Holy See?

As Charlotte looks surprised, Grill says.

“When I was a kid, I traveled there with my parents. ”

“How many years ago was this? ”

When Charlotte asked me out of nowhere, Grill said,

“Of course, that's not all I'm asking. There's an acquaintance in Chaver territory. ”

“You mean acquaintances? ”

Charlotte asked as if she was surprised.

“Yes, if he's alive, we'll know more about the situation there. ”

Sharing of information is already possible in Chaver territory.

That's why there are survivors, but there are also great constraints on behavior.

For seamless information sharing, we need a communicative informant here.

These three men with Aztalun engraved should be able to do it.

When Charlotte is in distress, Grill insists.

“Trust me, Charlotte. This time it's going to be a real success. Honestly, is there anyone who's as good as me, who knows the geography of that place, and who knows them? ”

Clearly, few people are as skilled as the Grill and know geography and even know it.

Plus, there's no one better to contact.

Charlotte looks at the grill with a worried expression.

She opens her mouth heavily as if she had resigned.

“... Please be safe. ”

With Charlotte's permission, the grill raises its index finger.

“Don't worry. Who am I, your father? ”

Trespassers to invade Shaver territory.

Grill, Edolf, Yuria.

These three men have infiltrated Chaver's territory as informants.
