People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

"Anis, how long will it take to complete the reorganization work before departure?"

"In addition to choosing weapons and armor, we must also use holy water and read the Bible to bless each member, if not counting 'wiping the dark morning'..."

Regarding Sigurd's question, Agnes said seriously after thinking for a moment.

"About three hours. It will be finished by eleven o'clock at the latest."

"enough."

In this way, the start time of the operation was determined to be eleven o'clock in the evening.

Agnes clapped her palms twice, and after giving instructions in a foreign language, the nuns in black nun uniforms all moved.

The 74 people were quickly split into groups of two to four, each of whom prepared separately.

Agnes turned her head and looked at Sigurd, who had put the map back on the wooden box and stretched. The job of directing the nuns to deploy defenses at the designated location was not as easy as it sounds. , Sigurd must always be ready to adjust the deployment position of the Roman Orthodox nuns.

"Mr. Sigurd, there are still more than two hours before the start of the operation. If you don't mind, we have extra tents here to rest."

"No need. Just leave the work of night watch and follow-up command to me. Go and rest. Compared with me, sleep is more helpful to ensure your combat effectiveness."

"......I understand."

Agnes didn't back down, because Sigurd was right.

Stiyl, Index and the team members of "Wiping the Dark Dawn" also got into the tents to rest, leaving only the nun and Sigurd who kept vigil at night in the abandoned parking lot in the moonlight, relying on communication magic to confirm the situation in the city. situation.

(more tiring than expected...)

Sigurd, leaning against the tree, looked at the cold moon.

Although he has been active all over the world, this is the first time he has commanded an entire combat unit like this.

Sigurd is not ignorant of how tiring being a leader is, but he has never felt as real as he does now.

(Sure enough, it is right to be a shopkeeper. If you want me to manage an association of hundreds of people, it is better to kill me. After all, a guy like me is suitable for a person who works...)

Chapter 420: The time of vigil

Although it is said to let others go to rest, in the final analysis this is the stronghold of the Roman Orthodox Church.

In order to escape, it is very likely that the Amakusa Shiki will do the opposite and give priority to launching an attack on the Roman Orthodox base camp, paralyzing the communication capabilities of the Roman Orthodox nuns first.

Then according to the specific situation, a surprise attack was launched targeting the weak link in order to break through the siege of the Roman Orthodox Church.

Although it is not certain that the other party will make such an action, the most basic precautions are still necessary.

"Mr. Priest, would you like some black tea?"

"Ah, thanks."

After receiving the black tea handed over by the nun of the Roman Orthodox Church, Stiyl took a sip and put it aside.

Steamy drinks are definitely not the first choice for hot summer nights, but for tonight when you need to stay up late, this kind of hot tea is not bad.

Stiyl looked at Sigurd who was jumping on the top of the abandoned theater. He didn't have the skills to jump tens of meters so easily.

Agnes and other members who participated in the "Battle of the Book of Law and the Retake of Orsola" each prepared for battle, and those who completed the preparation took turns to eat and sleep.

At this time, the nun standing next to Steele also got up for her shift after taking a short nap after preparing the spiritual outfit needed for the battle.

For ordinary people, it may not be understood why these people can sleep in the moment before they are about to face a battle.

However, for professional magicians like Steele and Agnes, when the battle situation reached a stalemate, no one would expect to lie in bed and have a good sleep.

The magicians who can be the frontline fighters of the major churches can only find opportunities to seize the 10-minute and 10-minute gaps to sleep and replenish their physical strength in the case of long-term combat. This is already for them on the "magic side". It's common sense.

Because they had been busy searching and arresting the Amakusa-style personnel before, the nuns of the Roman Orthodox Church and Steele only had dinner half an hour ago.

The food in his stomach hasn't been fully digested yet, so Stiyl plans to walk around the theater.

"Is Mr. Priest planning to go out on patrol?"

"It's just a walk after dinner... But it's okay to call it a patrol."

"Then please allow me to wait with you. Although we are not worried about the counterattack of the Amakusa-style villains with Master Sigurd in charge, we still need to confirm whether the holy scriptures arranged around the theater have been damaged."

Stiyl nodded, and didn't have any resistance to the other party's rhetoric.

After all, he didn't think about doing anything strange, so these nuns followed suit.

Rather than Stiyer being wary of those Roman Orthodox nuns, those nuns should probably worry about whether Stiier will take the opportunity to spy on the Roman Orthodox Church's warning spells.

Although Stiyl didn't have such an idea, considering the current situation, it was only natural that they would worry about Amakusa's counterattack, and there was nothing wrong with it.

A group of people walked along the aisle connecting the theater and the rear parking lot, led by Steele, and the nuns kept a body distance from each other to prevent unexpected situations from being caught by the enemy.

From the movements of these nuns, Stiyl could tell that they were magicians who had undergone rigorous training and had actually experienced several dangerous battlefields.

The nuns of the Puritan sect who have very little actual combat experience and who are sloppy in actual combat training are not at all the same standard.

This troop of nuns is undoubtedly an official combat formation of the Roman Orthodox Church.

"Mr. Priest, please don't worry about us if you want to smoke. If a cigarette can make you relax, then please have one."

"Ah, oh...sorry, I did have a nervous breakdown from the Amakusa type of guy. After all..."

He frantically took out a cigarette from his coat pocket, half of what he said was interrupted quite naturally by Stiyl lighting his cigarette.

And the nun who asked Steele to relax didn't ask any further, and she suggested letting him smoke just because she saw Steele's abnormality.

"We can understand. Amakusa-style magicians are very cunning, and we are a little tired of them."

"Um......"

Nodding simply, Stiyl walked in the front with a cigarette in his mouth.

If this position is attacked, it must be the first position to be attacked. In this case, as a Puritan priest, Steele is not obliged to fight for the Roman Orthodox nun.

But I don't know whether it is because of the remaining "gentlemanly demeanor" of the British or simply as a priest to solve problems for ladies.

In short, Stiyl bears the brunt of walking ahead of the other nuns.

Stiyl, who had a cigarette in his mouth, just drank it, and the ash was also shaken off by the shaking of walking.

Obviously, even though he was smoking, Stiyl still hadn't completely relaxed.

"Father, no...Mr. Steele, may I call you that?"

"Huh? Oh, it's okay, it's okay if you're more used to it. I don't care about this kind of thing."

After being confirmed by Steele, the nun smiled and quickened her pace a little. She followed behind Steele and took the lead in breaking the dead silence of the team.

"Is Mr. Steele worried about something?"

"No... right, after all, this operation can't be said to be smooth."

Steele relaxed his shoulders as if he was relieved, it seemed that he had found something to talk about, so Steele wasn't restrained just now.

"First Orsola was taken away by the other party, and then the location of the "Book of Law" was not confirmed, and Kanzaki also escaped after that..."

He paused for a while, and seemed to feel that his words were a bit of a complaint, so Steele immediately added.

"I'm not complaining. After all, the 'Knights' who were promised to come to support in the morning have not been heard from. This already makes us feel very sorry. The few of us will definitely not be a burden to you."

"Please don't say that, having the support of you and the 'Category of Prohibited Books' has relieved us a lot of pressure. And..."

The blue-haired nun looked up to the top of the theater. Sigurd was leaning against the edge of the Gothic building alone on the top floor, which could be seen from any position in the theater.

I couldn't see his expression clearly, but it made people feel at ease unconsciously.

After all, even within the Roman Orthodox Church, believers had rumors about how terrifying this mercenary was.

But now, with the world-recognized "strongest gold" sitting in the base camp, they would not feel any threat.

Chapter 420: The priest whose brain is down

"...Moreover, with the cooperation of Lord Sigurd and the 'Dark Dawn' who followed him, our work will go much smoother."

"indeed."

In fact, there is no need to discuss this matter. As long as Sigurd is present, all the incidents so far can be resolved smoothly.

Noticing that Steele was much more relaxed than before, the blue-haired nun continued to speak.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Steele is considered a very strong magician within the Puritan sect, right?"

"No, I can't even rank in the top [-] in London. As a magical metropolis, there are too many people in London who are better than me."

This is not modesty, but a very simple fact.

After all, there are at least 20 members of a "Knight faction" who can beat Stiir to the ground, not to mention that in this "birthplace of gold", there are still a large number of "gold" free magicians who do not belong to the three factions .

"After all, Britain is recognized as a big country of magic, so it's only natural that the magicians inside are very strong."

Stiyl looked at the nun walking beside him with some surprise.

From the perspective of the two sides, it is not hostile, but as magicians belonging to different sects, theoretically, the relationship should not be as harmonious as it is.

But Steele can also see that Steele, who has been active in the front line all year round, can do it recently by observing the situation.

Obviously, the words just now came from the heart of the Roman Orthodox nun, not something against her will just to get close to Stiyl.

"The Roman Orthodox Church is about the same. After all, the largest Christian sect with 20 billion believers, there are too many powerful magicians to count?"

"Perhaps, but in fact we are not very familiar with other magicians of the Roman Orthodox Church."

"It's normal, isn't it? You should be nuns acting as an army, right? Then you should rarely have other Roman Orthodox magicians to cooperate with you to perform tasks?"

The blue-haired nun smiled and shook her head, denying Stiyl's statement.

"It's just because we are not qualified to enter the inner places. Except for Agnes who occasionally goes back to hand over tasks, the rest of us are not even allowed to get close to St. Peter's Basilica."

"..."

"We are all orphans who were separated from our families for various reasons. We grew up in a Roman Orthodox orphanage. We have no close contact with other Roman Orthodox believers except each other."

Stiyl seemed to feel that this kind of discussion should not continue. Just when his brain was fully open and he was trying to find a way to change the topic, the blue-haired nun spoke first.

"But we don't care. In fact, we probably wouldn't be better off if it weren't for that."

There were many reasons for being an orphan, but what Steele had to admit was, as the blue-haired nun said.

If it wasn't for the Roman Orthodox Church to take them in and let them live as magicians, their life would definitely be much worse than it is now, even...
