Surviving as a Cult Leader in Another World (Going up)

Chapter 70: Rust, Eating the Land! #1



Soldiers from Agarpe territory went to war.

At the forefront was Psyche, dressed in silver armor, riding on a red horse and holding the eagle flag, the symbol of the Agarpe family.

Its appearance was very proud and handsome, and indeed, seeing it made my heart proud.

Following them are ten bronze knights and a hundred well-trained soldiers.

Because their morale was so high and dependable, many people watched this expedition.

Milione, who was riding his horse wearing light armor, clicked his tongue as he watched the people crowding around.

"It is recorded in the records that even though 100 knights and 10,000 soldiers attacked and attempted to conquer it, they failed. Hyde, can you really do this with this many troops?"

"Don't worry, Millie. "I'm not asking you to help me."

"Hmph, who said they would help me? Rather, why are you riding a carriage?"

It was like that.

I was riding in a carriage.

The reason was simply because the carriage was comfortable.

If you ride a horse for a long time, your butt hurts.

"Lord Parmas, is it okay for you to go into battle yourself as an old man?"

I asked Parmas, who was sitting in front of me.

Parmas said, "Hmph." He snorted and received a letter from a soldier through the window of the carriage.

Chak-.

Parmas said after opening the letter.

"It looks like 200 Walpurgis witches are already camped in front of the castle. They say that among them is Gaia, the Earthmother witch. She is a monster woman. "Can you deal with it?"

Gaia, the Earthmother.

She was a famous witch.

Among the members of Witch Walpurgis, there are five most vicious witches.

Gaia, the Earthmother, was one of them.

"She uses mysterious hexes. Does she know Sir Bartholin, who was once a knight of the royal family's silver plate? "He was as good as the knight with the golden plate, but he was brutally killed by Gaia in the war 20 years ago!"

A monster that will brutally kill a silver-plated knight who is at odds with a gold-plated knight.

It seemed like he was asking, "Are you confident that such a person is leading the witches?"

Does this old man know?

Milione, who is riding a horse next to this carriage, is even crazier-.

"Gaia is not my opponent. "My opponent is the sky."

"I shouted loudly, but when the time came, did I go crazy? I am a generous person. If you find it difficult to endure the whipping, you can hire a pinch hitter."

What?

It was an attractive offer.

Does this mean that if I break my promise on purpose, Milione can be whipped as a replacement?

Milione, I think he needs a little beating to come to his senses!

"Lord Parmas, actually I am not confident."

"Okay? "Now my true feelings are finally coming out."

"I have no confidence in failing."

"…"

Parmas frowns and glares at me.

My flashy speech had caught his attention and he seemed completely out of it.

With that feeling, after two days our procession arrived at the mountain where Taeman's fortress was located.

There were really witches camped out there, and just looking at them made me sick.

"Those crazy women are walking around so proudly in broad daylight!"

I hated heretics.

It was because they were ignorant people.

Because they are ignorant and stupid, they become heretics or cults.

But─.

Now I see that there are more heretics than Parmas said.

Didn't you say the number of witches was 200?

There are at least close to 400 people lurking in front of me right now.

"Those guys…"

Parmas also opened his narrow eyes as if he was embarrassed.

I also opened my narrowed eyes and looked at this group of strangers. When I looked closely, I saw that their faces had red crosses painted on them, and their flags looked like that too.

I found out their identity.

And without me needing to explain, Psyche, who was confidently marching at the front, shouted.

"It's the Blood Crusade! Rust That guy must be around here! Looks like that man was also aiming for Tae-man's citadel!"

What the fuck.

What on earth is going on?

Why is the Blood Crusade there?

Soon a man with a red cross painted on his face and a high flag shouted from afar.

"I am Hans, the chief servant and second baptist of the Blood Crusade! Our crusade will take over the citadel of negligence! In the name of Rust!"

"If we capture the fortress, Lord Rust will descend upon us again! Let's use the fortress as a sacrifice to summon Rust from hell!"

"Keeeeek!!!"

"Long live Rust!"

Puhihihi-.

As the maddened cultists shouted in unison, the horses first became agitated. The knights riding on it suddenly seemed nervous.

"I heard that wherever Rust appears, everything is engulfed in flames?"

"Wasn't it just a matter of dealing with witches?"

"I don't feel good. Is there a guy named Lars? "That guy rips people to pieces with armor!"

Like this-.

The soldiers and knights began to get scared.

I first looked at Milione's thoughts.

"What, work became fun?"

If Milione, whose head had turned, put on a mask and joined the ranks of that crusade, it could be a headache in many ways.

Since Psyche and Parmas are there, Ras can't slaughter them indiscriminately.

Zek-.

I got off the carriage.

And I looked at the fortress located on a high mountain.

The height of the mountain is approximately 200 meters.

The fortress built on a steep cliff seemed truly impregnable.

It looks like some soldiers are looking down at us from the top of the fort.

I shouted at them.

"Castle Lord Agileth, listen! I am Hyde, the priest of the Bronze Plate! If you surrender now, I will make sure that you and your subordinates survive! If you don't surrender, you will all die within three days!"

My loud voice didn't need a loudspeaker.

"Please let me, Hyde, meet with Castle Lord Agileth! You must abandon your temper and surrender now! If you surrender now, I will give you a copy of Nymph's Village that I wrote myself and even autograph it for you!"

My will must have been well conveyed even to the walls of the castle high above.

A chance to receive the next volume and autograph of the world's masterpiece, 'Village of Nymphs.'

How come you want to get out of the castle right now?

A chance like this will never come again?

"Hyde! Have you written the next volume of Village of Nymphs? You were supposed to tell me first! It's really too much!"

Psyche slightly puffed out her cheeks.

Psyche was an avid reader who appreciated my books.

Now other people will do the same.

Soon someone shouted from the high castle wall.

"Are you Hyde? "Do you think someone who can't even climb his wife's bridge can climb this wall!"

"The book you wrote is trash! You idiot! Even if 20 years of guard duty is boring, I won't read your book!"

"Whahahahaha!"

These ten bastards?

Are you insulting the pious and pure love between me and my wife Psyche?

Are you even criticizing my books?

What do you guys know about books!

Can you read letters?

These bastards!

"You sit there for a hundred days and a thousand days and wait! Will this fortress fall? We are invincible! There is a lot of food and water in this fortress! "I can last another thousand years!"

"The platinum hero Aguiles is with us!"

"Wow!"

The morale of the fortress soldiers seemed to skyrocket.

Savage guys.

If they shout loudly like that, they will only lose their strength.

It was then.

Kwaaaaang-!

A loud sound was heard from somewhere.

When I turned my head, I saw witches with short hair bursting into laughter at the Walpurgis witch camp.

"Did you hear? The sorrow of the earth! The land you are occupying without permission originally belongs to the Earth Mother… ! I will make sure that Gaia takes your land with the power of the great goddess… !"

Kwaaaaang-!

A loud noise was heard again.

It really looks like the ground is screaming.

"… Is it magic?"

"Witches are practicing witchcraft!"

"When he heard that sound, Lord Bartroland exploded and died in a very terrible way!"

Fear spread among the soldiers.

It was a fear of witches' witchcraft.

Is it really a hex?

Is it magic?

No, I didn't think so.

I could smell a mysterious smell passing by the tip of my nose.

Bitter smell.

It was the smell of saltpeter and sulfur.

"Is it gunpowder?"

Saltpetre and sulfur generally came from the ground.

But is that the power of the Earth Mother?

No.

Is there anything like the Earth Mother in the world?

God and all that is being held up over the mere topic of land.

Zek-.

The witches now gathered around the earth-colored haired Gaia and bowed to the ground.

Gaia, with her earth-colored hair cut short, and her face tattooed in black ink, displayed particularly exaggerated behavior.

She made quite a fuss, kissing the ground and digging the dirt with her hands like a dog.

"Ahhh! I can feel the energy of the land! I can feel my mother's energy! And Mother said, she foretold the annihilation of the Blood Crusade, the Citadel soldiers, and the Agarpe soldiers! And I want that idiot Hyde dead! I prophesy that Hyde, who impersonates a writer and wastes paper, will surely die today! And his body will be burned along with his books!"

What?

What is this dirty dirt bitch saying now?

I can't believe I'm impersonating the author!

I can't believe I'm wasting paper!

These damn pussy bitches.

Don't you know that according to the Bible, a woman is to serve a man like her head?

I will teach these wicked ignorant bitches the 'Bible'.

# ​ ​​​ ​ # # ​ #

Gaia of the Earth Mother.

She was a woman who knew the land well.

When I created 'Wrath of the Goddess' by mixing various things from the ground, I really felt like I had the whole world.

She now decided to capture the fortress within 15 days.

Full moon-.

It may seem like an impossible time, but it really isn't.

This was because the witches took a long time to recruit the men in the castle.

'All men are the same. When it comes to women, you can't be rude. They are truly inferior creatures, ruled by their dicks and not their brains. What really rules the world is not men or their swords, but women.'

In another 15 days.

There would be a rebellion inside the fortress and the gate would be opened.

It was said to be impregnable, but the situation in the fortress was actually not that good, so the morale of the soldiers was very low.

Rather, it was a miracle that the fortress was maintained for 20 years.

'Agiles of Lightning. Now it's called Sloth, the Great Sin Seat, right? If we can lead that stupid fat bastard to become one of our witches' minions, the world is ours… !'

I heard that there are a lot of cornerstones inside that fortress.

'There will be a huge amount of saltpeter. So, Pendragon must have dispatched the platinum knight Agiles to guard the capital until it falls.'

A huge amount of saltpeter.

The enormous 'wrath of the goddess' that will be created with that.

If only that were the case, Gaia might be able to dare to be called queen.

'But the Blood Crusade suddenly appeared. Those guys are very crazy. Aren't you afraid of death? We must never lose the fortress to those guys!'

The troops from Agarpe were probably good.

Gaia felt like his head was cramping just thinking about dealing with the Blood Crusade.

Soon she got a good idea.

'Good! All we have to do is make the Blood Crusade and the Agarpe forces fight each other! It's easy to tear each other apart! And their weakness is─.'

Gaia, the Earth Mother, looked at the man who looked weak.

He was tall, but his white skin made him look shabby.

Bronze Plate Priest Hyde.

He was a famous man in many ways even in the fortress kingdom.

"Blood Crusade, listen! I just heard my prayers answered! The Earth Mother wants Hyde's blood! If you kill that man, Hyde, and sprinkle his blood on the ground, our Witch Council will form an alliance with Rust! The man who writes such terrible books should die immediately! This is an insult to paper! And desecration of paper is desecration of trees, and desecration of trees is desecration of the earth!"

Village of nymphs.

Gaia, who had read that book before, really wanted to wash her eyes.

There are all these childish and stupid books?

Who on earth would print something like this, so they could read it?

'It was a truly blasphemous book about trees and the land!'

Soon the Blood Crusade also shouted in agreement with Gaia.

"Good night! Hyde, he is the greatest opponent of the Blood Crusade! We want his life too! Crusade! This Hans, the chief baptist, commands! Capture Hyde! But don't kill anyone! All humans are subject to Rust's life-long punishment! Until Mr. Rust is sentenced to death, you must not kill anyone carelessly! We must captivate!"

Eeeee—!

The Blood Crusade was greatly stirred.

Gaia was taken aback because she didn't think that the crazy Red Army would listen to her so easily.

'It means that the goddess is with me!'

Finally, the red wave of the Blood Crusade suddenly struck Agarpe's soldiers.

When I felt this thrill in many ways while looking at this situation, I heard Psyche's scream.

"Hyde! Where are you! Hyde!"

Visor-! Chaae Aeng-!

A melee broke out in many ways.

It was when swords and spears clashed.

At that moment, something strange happened.

It was truly an unexpected event that no one could have imagined.

Slurrrr-.

The world started to get dark.

Only then did everyone look at the sky.

The sun was being eaten by the moon.

'What is this-.'

Gaia, the earth witch, was afraid and amazed, and her heart trembled.

The sun in the sky has lost its light─.

Isn't this a sign that the world is stained with sin?

Gaia quickly shouted.

"The Earth Goddess is with us! The age of heaven will end and the age of earth will arrive!"

Now everyone stopped their actions and looked at this scene.

It felt like the end of the world was coming, and it seemed like it was happening.

A time when the world was immersed in darkness-.

The fact that the sky is losing its light is evidence among other evidence that the masculine power symbolized by 'the sky' is destroyed and the era of 'land and women' comes.

Gaia, the Earth Witch, was overcome with emotion and prayed to her goddess in ecstasy.

"Goddess, be with us—."

"Goddess!"

"O Earth Mother!"

It was that time when women were sobbing and praying in unison.

A chill ran down the back of Gaia's neck.

"There is no such thing as a goddess in the world."

It was a small voice.

But that voice was heard so clearly in the sobbing prayer.

As if it had been whispered directly into her own ear.

"Who is this! Who would say such profanity!"

Gaia shouted, shaking off her eerie goosebumps.

Sssss-.

At the same time, when light was revealed to the world again-.

She stood in the middle of her battlefield, wearing red robes that were like soot stuck to the world.

He just stood there.

"Aaaaah! Our earnest prayers brought Mr. Rust to this land!"

"The darkness just now was the darkness created by Lord Rust's descent! "It wasn't done by a goddess or something!"

"Yesssss!"

Cultists who go crazy just because a man appears here and stands on the ground.

Zek-.

When the man finally turned his head slightly, there were people foaming at the mouth and fainting one after another.
