My players are too fierce!

The copy, the nave of the church.

With Hachimedes' tacit approval, Kashima walked up to Marcus.

He and Marcus were already acquainted, so the task naturally fell to him.

"I'm so sorry..."

Marcus understood what he meant, waved his hand, and said, "It's not your fault, he's just unlucky."

"At least for now, he sacrificed himself as one of our compatriots."

Kashima is feeling better.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Blood trickled down the gaps in the armor and onto the ground, forming a small pool of blood.

Marcus grinned and scoffed, saying, "The champions of the Fifth Legion aren't afraid of this little injury."

Bang—bang—

The madmen outside were still banging on the door frantically.

This church, which is probably converted from a fortress, is obviously not that fragile and should be able to hold out for a while longer.

"Alright then," Kashima shrugged.

After a moment of silence, he remembered Hachimedes's instructions and asked, "Do you know Mother Isaac..."

Before he could finish speaking, Marcus replied, "That little girl who taught herself healing arts? To be honest, I never imagined that such a small place could have such a genius."

"But it's a pity... our god, our sun, has abandoned us. If it were a few years ago, I might have kidnapped her to be our army chaplain."

"That little girl should be in... what, the prayer room? The sun's gone, these charlatans aren't having an easy time."

After saying that, his face darkened.

He missed his old friend.

The old priest who originally lived in this church.

That old man has no ability himself, but the students he teaches are quite capable.

On their very first day here, in order to cover their retreat and repel the pursuers, they forcibly used a large-scale divine spell originating from the sun.

Ha, I never saw him this brave back in the army. Now that he's halfway to the grave, he suddenly wants to be a hero...

He swore that his sword would never again drink the blood of his friend.

The memories faded from his eyes, and he raised his face, his temples half-frosted, and grabbed Kashima's wrist.

The force was so great that he winced in pain.

"That old man once told me that there was a secret passage in the basement, which was used to transport supplies back then, and it should still be accessible now."

"Run! Take those who can and are willing to leave and get out of here quickly... young man. Get out of here while you can still walk."

After speaking, he weakly released his hand and beckoned to two surviving guards, or rather soldiers, to help him lean against the door.

Block the gate.

Kashima's expression was complex.

He remembered the scene of the swordsmen engaging the monsters very clearly.

It's almost the same location as it is now.

His lips moved slightly.

Take care.

He returned to Hachimedes' side and quickly recounted the information he had obtained from Marcus.

Around them, the crowd screamed and cried.

The legion champion, who resembled a chosen god of war, also fell to the minions of those monsters.

The last string, called "reason," snapped.

Some people numbly hugged their legs and squatted on the ground.

Someone was smashing everything in their path as if possessed, venting their despair.

The torch was pushed to the ground.

Oil extracted from the fat of devout believers, which could burn for a long time, spilled onto the ground and set fire to benches and cloth.

The central hall was engulfed in flames.

"Damn it!"

Hakimed cursed under his breath; his task was the most difficult.

We must save at least 25 children!

"Go find Isa!"

Hakimed selected Kashima, the swordsman, and the toad, and assigned them tasks.

"David Day! What about your mission?!"

"Sir! Still nothing!"

"Then you come with me and carry the child to the cellar!"

"Huh? Carry me down? I can't yell..."

"Damn it! Look at this, does anyone listen to you?!"

His cries were deafening; no one seemed to care about his voice.

David gritted his teeth, rushed over to the children, hugged them, and ran towards the cellar.

If one trip isn't enough, come several more!

Hopefully there's enough time!

The words are divided into two parts.

Kashima is quite familiar with the layout of this church.

only--

"Toad! Aren't you playing a priest?! Which one says 'prayer room'?"

The three rooms in a row were also the place where Emma ambushed the three of them.

Excluding the middle room, which is the archives room.

Logically speaking, all three rooms should have room numbers.

Unfortunately, they don't understand the language of that other world.

Why does this game get so obsessed with details like this?!

"Damn it, I can't be a priest just because I'm illiterate?"

"How did you complete the task of chanting the scriptures?"

"Damn it! The sun is dead! The god of this church is dead! I just recited a few lines and it passed!"

Oh no, this guy isn't playing a priest, he's playing a madman.

It's not that they didn't want to kick down the door; it's that this church was originally converted from a fortress.

The door was quite sturdy.

"Aaaaaah!"

As the group argued and banged on the door, calling for the nun inside, they heard a piercing scream.

The three looked toward the source of the attack.

A man dressed in tattered fine clothes had his heart pierced by a madman and was held high.

The money bag was slashed open, and the gleaming coins, stained with blood, were scattered all over the ground.

Bricks were scattered around him.

An opening was made in the church wall.

The passage left behind by smugglers during the fortification era has been reopened today!

Why...?

The man's eyes were bloodshot; in his madness, he still believed that these monsters, like the hostile soldiers, would accept his bribe and spare his life.

Several madmen tore off his limbs and swallowed them.

Bad stuff!

Now he knew how they got to the church via the path!

And why wasn't the church breached through the main entrance...?

Why is Marcus able to have a complete corpse?

"This is..."

The door in front of Kashima opened.

Isa’s haggard face appeared before me.

Kashima grabbed her hand and said, "Hurry! There's no time!"

Deer Island, Toad, and Isa ran back the way they came.

The swordsman didn't follow.

He knew that the madman's corpse wouldn't satisfy these monsters for long.

Anyway, his mission wasn't to survive to the end.

"Holy Light! The formidable enemy ahead is worth fighting!"

[Second phase of the mission completed: Protect Sister Isa]

[Number of players remaining in the current instance: 4]

"Has the swordsman not followed?"

"Yes."

The three of them ran until their faces were flushed.

Fortunately, the church wasn't very big.

There is still one last batch of children who haven't been sent off yet.

David gritted his teeth.

"You all go down first, I'll cover the rear."

"Since I haven't triggered the second phase of the quest yet, it's not a bad idea to just look around!"

After saying this, he handed the child in his arms to Hakimed.

The madmen are still some distance away, and there are many unfortunate souls outside who could be used as scapegoats.

There's just one problem.

The cellar door can only be closed from the outside.

"Ah, just in time."

The madmen still caught up.

The two soldiers eventually completed their mission, which can be considered as doing right by Marcus.

At that moment, a crazy plan popped into David's mind.

He knew that something on the second floor of the church also wanted his life.
