Raising Paladins

Episode 143. Pinas Revolution (11)

“Get out! Get out of the canyon!”

“Everyone here will burn to death! Run the way you came in!”

A shower of fiery arrows.

The pirates who did not drink water gathered in one place.

The number is about a hundred.

The pirates who couldn’t drink water because their turn was delayed or cut in line were rather a blessing in disguise.

Other pirates had diarrhea or had their heads exploded while holding on to their boats and were crushed by rocks or logs.

In a crisis situation, it was enough to have a normal body.

“Pierce over there!”

“Move!”

The leadership took the lead and drilled through the entrance.

I can’t move forward anyway, so I’m trying to go back to the canyon entrance I entered.

It was the right choice, but there were too many obstacles.

“They want to run away! Everyone draw out your weapons!”

Fiery arrows on rocks raining down from all sides.

There, the militia drew their swords for a full-scale battle.

In addition, even the pirates who lost their reason after getting stuck in the corpses and arrows of the same pirates were interfering with those who tried to escape.

“Get out of the way, you bastard!”

chuck!

The head pirate who blocked the head pirate’s head ran away.

“You have to live first! Cut down everything that gets in your way!”

The priority is to survive in the hellish fire pit.

The pirates started attacking indiscriminately, both enemies and allies.

“Strike! Just don’t let them go!”

The militia came pouring in as if sliding off a cliff.

An all-out war between them and the pirates began.

Seven hundred pirates came in, but only about a hundred remained due to all sorts of attacks.

Thanks to this, the numbers of the two units were similar.

But it’s been a while since the victory was over.

“Ahh!”

Pirates were swept away from everywhere.

It was a natural result, as he was in a hectic ambush and was more interested in escaping than fighting.

The pirates were cut in half again in less than three minutes.

One of the leaders said while glaring at the leader with venomous eyes.

“Isn’t this why I told you not to come to the canyon?! Why did you bring me here… … .”

Skunk-!

The disgruntled head rolled on the floor.

“A sick bastard… … Why should I come and check it out now?!”

The chief spat at the rolling head.

‘If I go back like this, I’m sure I’ll be killed by a harpy, I have to fight here! After that, I have to run away or do something!’

The chief’s eyes glistened with life.

The pirates managed to reach the entrance of the canyon.

The leader shouted at about 50 remaining pirates.

“Everyone raise your sword! We die here anyway! But it’s too unfair that we’re the only ones dying!”

The pirates covered in blood agreed.

“Young militiamen can’t pass through here! If you block the entrance, they too will become charred corpses in the flames! Stop them! Let them all burn to death!”

A narrow entrance into the gorge.

It was a full entrance when about ten people stood side by side.

When the pirates blocked the place, the militia and Jillian who had been chasing them were taken aback.

‘It turned out to be the worst case.’

But Gillian shouted without panic.

“Kill! If we don’t break through them, we die! Attack!”

“Wow!”

Gillian and a few militiamen gallantly led the way, and the rest followed with a roar.

However, the overwhelming difference in numbers was meaningless because of the narrow entrance.

Most of the troops survived the militia, but it was all about mingling with about 10 pirates.

It was a militia that rushed with great force, but gradually time passed and flames approached from behind.

“Boo, fire!”

“It’s getting closer!”

The militia in the back shouted as if in a fit of fuss.

Gillian and the soldiers in the lead became impatient.

Then, one by one, he made mistakes and ate the pirates’ swords one by one.

“Kuk!”

Jillian backed away, clutching at the wound on her shoulder.

The head pirate, who fed him with a knife, laughed viciously.

“Did you think you could kill us all and get out? You die here with us!”

“… … Come on, you dirty pirate! That is the sea I was looking for!”

Gillian’s strength in the hand holding the sword again.

But there was someone who came before him.

It was Meisa.

“Sir?”

Meisa, who has been through hellish battlefields together, is very different from the other militia members.

Compared to the blood-soaked crew, Meisa was so clean.

A single drop of blood splattered on his pure white face.

But that made it even more terrifying.

The pirates hesitated at her appearance and retreated.

“Poem, priest year! I know that you are the culprit behind all this! After killing everyone else, I’ll beat you like a dog! Until I beg you to kill me… … .”

Push-!

A red line formed on the neck of the pirate who was talking obscenely.

Throwing daggers, not knowing when they were thrown, were swaying against the walls around them.

Soon after, Meisa’s body spun around.

“Aww!”

“Ouch… … .”

Every time you shake your hand, a pirate is knocked down.

Meisa, who had thrown away all of her daggers, pulled out two slightly longer swords from her ankles this time.

A dagger dedicated to close combat, with a shorter blade than a normal sword, but longer than a dagger by about a span.

Meisa, holding it, started to run amok.

“No, stop it!”

The pirates hurriedly swung their weapons, but Meisa dug in like a ghost.

Meisa’s inaction, which left only fatal wounds in her swift movements, was hard to believe even after seeing it with her own two eyes.

‘If I can’t break through, everyone will die.’

Meisa made a pact with Carl.

He said that he would make sure to save the militia members and go back together.

Her eyes were calm as she knew that the time had come for her to fulfill her role.

Her speed increased as she swung her sword and the enemy’s blood sprayed onto the floor.

Sreureung-!

Meisa pulled out her rapier before she knew it.

Then an amazing thing happened.

“What?! The priest disappeared?!”

Shuk-!

flash something! Meisa disappeared with the feeling of doing it.

Soon after, she appeared far from her original location.

Appearing from behind a pirate, she pierced the pirate’s neck with her rapier.

“Back! It’s behind you!”

The pirates urgently turned their bodies.

But paget! With a shout, Meisa disappeared again.

Another pirate’s neck was punctured.

“Kuh… … .”

Unbelievable speed.

Maysa slipped into a trance.

‘this… … The power of divine power… … ?!’

The white cloud that seeped into his heart and the lightning that swayed within it!

The energy flowed through the blood vessels and all over the body.

Meisa, who became a single lightning bolt itself.

When she thought about where she wanted to go, her body went there before she knew it.

The swinging weapons of the pirates felt slower than the dragonflies slowly moving through the sky.

Stab, cut, move, pierce again.

At some point, the head pirate’s heart was threaded at the tip of Meisa’s rapier.

“Oh, this can’t be… … .”

Crying!

Blood poured from the head pirate’s mouth.

He was wide-eyed at the appearance of a priest he had only seen in children’s books as a child.

The majesty of a battle priest only possible during the days of the Paladin Carlos of the Great Dawn.

At the time, the four priests who followed Carlos all said that they could deal with one corps alone.

The pirate felt that the blonde priest standing in front of him was just such a person.

“ha… … .”

The last pirate, the head pirate, stopped breathing with a long sigh.

It was also at that time that Meisa’s spirit returned.

“phew.”

How to replace the divine power Carl said with natural power.

I guess I just woke up to it.

Meisa stared blankly at her hand, which trembled with excitement.

But Meisa wasn’t stupid enough to keep getting drunk on the new sensation.

Her biggest goal was to save the militia members.

“Go all! Let’s run to the shore!”

“Ohhhhh! The priest cleared the way! Let’s get out of the fire!”

“Waaa!”

Following the shouts of Meisa and Gillian, the militia’s shouts burst out as if the valley was about to leave.

They sprinted through the fiery canyon.

Running vigorously, they reached the shore in no time.

The militiamen who were cooling off their scorched bodies and weapon wounds by jumping into the seawater.

They shouted with joy.

“Win! We won!”

“We defeated all 700 pirates!”

A great victory that will go down in history!

Maysa stared blankly at the militiamen who shed hot tears.

The joy of bringing them out safely filled Meisa’s heart.

Then, at one point, Jillian looked at Meisa.

“Thank you, priest.”

“… … ?”

“If you hadn’t come, we would all have died, and we wouldn’t have had the moment of joy when the Pinas Islands were liberated. He would not have been able to go back to his wife and children who were anxiously waiting for the crew. You have saved hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of hopes.”

“As a priest of the Dawning Church, it was a natural thing to do.”

“Whoops, don’t lie! I’ve met so many priests in my life, but none of them risked their lives for a stranger! You guys are special!”

Other crew members joined in.

“you’re right! Priest Meisa is the most priestly priest we have ever seen in our lives!”

“Thank you!”

“We, the Pinas Militia, will never forget Priest Maysa!”

The shoulder that carries the expectations and will of many people.

This was how Meisa felt when she looked at Carl.

But now other people were seeing him that way.

Meisa felt more alive than ever.

***

“I’m sorry, priest, but I need to make some concessions.”

Carl facing Henry Morgan.

In the meantime, a man intervened.

It was Sigeon, the leader of the Pinas Islands and the militia leader.

Life boiled over in Henry Morgan’s eyes when he saw him.

“Sigeon! Somehow, I said that some of the troops were empty, so it must have been your fault. You despicable traitor!”

“Are you a traitor? I’ve never betrayed myself. You were from the Pinas Islands from the beginning.”

“… … Did you forget that I saved you?”

“Sounds funny! He must have kept me by his side as a hostage to keep the people of the Pinas Islands from wandering! You humiliated me in front of everyone, and you say that kind of thing, Harpy!”

“… … .”

Henry Morgan gnashed his teeth.

On the contrary, Sigian had a smile on his face.

“Now the time has come to end the fight between you and me, today I will definitely kill you!”

“You have already lost to me once. You will never be able to defeat me.”

“That’s something you have to stick with to know!”

Sigeon drew his sword.

Then Henry Morgan also raised two black axes.

Carl calmly checked the condition of the two.

‘Sigeon is injured and the level difference between weapons is severe. Probably won’t win.’

But Carl did not stop Sigeon.

As he said, it was a fight that had to end now.

Whoever won, the two of them had to make a clear end.

Kang-!

Soon, a fire broke out in the middle of the wooden citadel.
