Chapter 113: Temple Siege

simple logic.

During the defense mission on the 10th floor, friendly soldiers and friendly cavalry NPCs were unable to observe us.

But these guys can clearly see us. As I approached, I felt the enemy's gaze on me. That meant this was no ordinary NPC.

Eorca said with a confused look.

Well, maybe they're not the enemy.

There is another way. please do not worry. I didn't kill her.

marbles have been created, but half of them appear to be dead.

Without any warning, a strange scene occurred and a large crowd of onlookers gathered.

The witness began to explain using gestures.

That's right. The soldier suddenly got a nosebleed and collapsed. And the guy next to him, well, he did something too! He used his strength to slam his head against the wall. So-so!

The shaved-headed man pretended to bang his head against the wall.

Thanks to the crowd, it was a little quieter on the way to the square. I grabbed the horn hanging from the soldier's neck and threw him into the sewer.

Let's go. Time is running out.

We passed through the gate and entered the square.

The place was packed with people, so tightly packed that it was impossible to move. The noise of hundreds of voices filled the surroundings. I listened to the chatter.

It is said that once you touch it, your desire will disappear.

I don't think so. Probably just nonsense.

Who do you suspect? You are the one who drinks all day long.

Well, kid? Do you want to die?

Come to me if you dare, you old fart. You've been bothering me for a while.

Most of the dialogue was nonsensical, but words were repeated between conversations.

It's him.

They referred to someone by a pronoun rather than a name.

It seems like it's his fault that so many people gathered in the square.

It could very well be him.

In the middle of the square stood a magnificent building that resembled a castle.

Is this the Silver Hall?

Yes.

It was about 20 meters high, with white marble walls and iridescent stained glass windows. On the roof of the dome stood statues depicting twin goddesses. The walls were intricately carved with mystical landscapes and patterns.

People's attention was focused on the Silver Hall, and one place in particular.

The height of the terrace was 15 meters.

Look, oppa. I feel like someone will come out.

Jenna pointed to the terrace entrance.

And sure enough, someone came out. It was an old man wearing a white monk's robe. He glanced at the crowd, then tapped the ground with his cane.

[Everyone be quiet! ]

A deep commanding voice spread across the square.

When the people became quiet, the commotion that had been happening earlier suddenly stopped.

Eorca muttered.

They use magic.

[The Heir of the Sun has arrived. Don't make a fuss!]

It's a waste of time.

We didn't come here for sightseeing.

The countdown was still continuing little by little.

Enter the temple.

Inside the temple?

Yes.

It was not clear who had to be protected.

Information was missing. But there was no time to hesitate. It's time to make a decision. If such an event occurs during a phase, it is very likely that the person being guarded is a person of interest in the event.

Decisions need to be made quickly.

I turned my gaze to the entrance of the temple.

Soldiers in armor lined up near the door, their wings embossed. They strictly controlled who could enter. Suddenly, I made eye contact with a soldier.

I took my sword out of its sheath.

The soldiers' eyes widened in surprise.

You can also see this.

I approached the entrance with my sword outstretched.

soldiers poured in. A man who seemed to be the leader stepped forward with a cautious expression on his face.

What are you?

Please step aside. Unless you want to get hurt.

Entry to the temple is prohibited! Are you a heretic?

Heretic?

That's right. We Serve a Goddess

We knocked down the plaster statue of a goddess next to us.

The statue's waist broke and shattered.

Would you call this heresy?

You crazy bastard! Kill him!

A warning window was displayed with a sound effect.

[Warning!]

[Human Soldier Lv.13] X ?

[Unknown Enemy Lv.???]

That's correct, right?

Phew, you. You're really aggressive.

Do you also believe in goddess worship or something like that?

No.

I only believe in myself. And oppa.

Aaron drew his spear.

Jenna shot an arrow.

Now let's break through them and enter the temple. The target you were protecting should be there.

Click!

The soldiers drew their weapons at the same time. Swords, spears, halberds.

Destroy the heretics!

Following the leader's orders, the soldiers hurried forward.

I raised a shield with my left hand and spoke.

Break through.

Yes!

A frontline soldier brandished a halberd.

After fending it off with my shield, I thrust my sword into its throat.

Gah! Pooh!

The soldier behind him sputtered and thrust his spear into the air. I twisted my torso and the spear grazed the side of my leather armor. It bent, and the blade of my sword pierced the thin steel and cut through the flesh.

Yay!

Yay!

Another soldier attacks with a halberd in hand. I crouched down and brushed his legs off with my shield. He spun in the air and I brought my sword down.

Don't attack one person at a time. Run inside!

You don't have to fight them all.

I brushed off the charging soldiers and ran, and the other three followed my example.

Some people who had gathered in the square discovered bodies.

Phew! What a man, someone died!

A high-pitched scream echoed through the square.

I entered the stairs leading to the gate.

The leader raised his sword and shouted.

Block her! Protect the temple from heretics!

Splash!

Thunk!

An arrow stuck in the leader's forehead.

Jenna ran up the stairs, shooting arrows at the soldiers following her. She aimed at her legs and her arms. The soldiers who had been hiding near the stone pillar next to the stairs appeared.

Please ignore! there is no time.

Aaron thrusts his spear into the soldier guarding the door.

Thud!

I kicked open the door leading to the temple.

After confirming that Eorca had also entered, I closed her door behind her.

Eorca.

I know!

Eorka quickly cast a spell.

A piece of wood came up from inside the temple and got stuck between the door handles.

Hmm! strike!

There was a loud knock on the door from outside.

A middle-aged priest reading a book on the altar opened his eyes.

Who are you? How did you get here?

I took a quick look at the interior.

There were passages on the left and right.

Seven armed soldiers burst out of the hallway on the right, weapons drawn.

Who would have the courage to invade here!

Get rid of them and then follow me.

Oppa, what's wrong?

I'll go first.

Come on, let's catch up quickly.
