Somebody Stop the Pope – 284



Episode 284

5.

5 minutes before the operation starts.

“Our great Pope please give your command.”

“Stop using that unsuitable tone of speech.”

“It’s not really a hammer and anvil. It’s just a way to divide and kill.”

“Do you know tactics?”

“I have led hundreds of thousands of tribes and won numerous great battles. If I am not skilled in tactics then who is?”

Aiden snarls ferociously and swings his axe lightly.

“This isn’t a tactic.”

“That’s right it’s not a tactic.”

“…If you admit it so easily what will become of me?”

“Is there really a need for such detailed tactics?”

The numbers are similar.

But the power gap is significant.

The other side was a rabble and not unified.

Since these were troops gathered from another world there were bound to be limitations.

In contrast we were tightly centered around the irregulars.

There was nothing rough.

Just crush it thoroughly like you always have.

“Yeah tearing apart the left wing going back and defeating them one by one… Not bad. But you know what Siwoo?”

“what?”

“I already know the strength of your subordinates who came from Eden. Luna and Leo have also become surprisingly strong. However being strong does not mean that they are very mobile. No matter how much a human can fly and jump they cannot make use of their mobility while wearing heavy armor.”

“That’s right. There’s a reason why a snail is a snail in the first place.”

No matter how fast you run you still play the role of a hammer as an infantryman?

It’s impossible.

If you don’t have the mobility to back you up you won’t be able to break through the enemy’s response.

Aiden’s point is valid.

But there was one thing the guy didn’t know.

“But who said we were snails?”

“what?”

“Would I have ever suggested that we play the role of hammer without any preparation?”

I looked at the river with the corners of my lips slightly raised.

A leisurely flowing river.

It seemed like it would be impossible to cross.

-Doha work begins.

Kkarddddddddddd.

The river began to freeze over as the voice of Seol-hwa echoed through the walkie-talkie.

The magical powers that poured out from the magic stone froze the river at an incredible speed.

Kwauuuuuuu-!

The monsters and alien races that had been forming a defensive line across the river began to roar loudly sensing the magical power.

In an instant dark clouds gather.

I took a small step forward and touched the ice on the river.

It was so frozen that even a tank could pass through.

This concludes my preparations for Doha.

Now all that’s left is to deploy troops and wipe them all out.

-Initiating fire support.

This time Raphael’s voice rang out followed immediately by a huge explosion behind us.

Kwaaaaang-!

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

The bombardment begins.

The K-9 self-propelled howitzer which Raphael had personally modified for this battle also begins firing and various firepowers including Raphael’s photon cannon begin to pound the defense line.

Enemies are exposed to fiery artillery fire.

Woohoo.

As expected there are other races that use magic and they also use various defensive measures including magic fields.

“Aiden do you know what the nickname of our country’s Ministry of National Defense is?”

“Polarization Department.”

“I know right.”

South Korea’s obsession with poetry goes back a very long time and is in fact a tradition.

The effect had been greatly reduced since the Dimension Opening but things have changed completely since the Irregular Raphael intervened.

This war also serves as a kind of weapons test.

The monster-exclusive technologies that had been secretly developed with Raphael in the United States were being used without sparing a single moment to recreate the old-time gunpowder department.

When the enemy camp begins to stir.

Woooooooooo-!

The massive battle machines of the enemies that had been identified in advance began to operate.

It began to intercept the shells with its huge body.

Aiden let out a small exclamation as he looked at the massive weapon.

“It seems like Raphael’s world isn’t the only world where technology has advanced. It’ll be fun to destroy it. Where should we aim for first…? That place?”

Aiden gestured to the enemies on the far left of the defensive line.

A primitive tribe of trolls holding spears.

It was at least 1.5 times larger than the trolls we usually faced and its spear was also longer.

It seems like this race has changed somewhat due to the intervention of the ancient gods…

Are you alpa?

Just take the picture and leave.

I nodded slightly and patted Snow White’s butt who was resting her head in my arms.

Then Snow White answered stretching.

“It’s been a while since we’ve gone hunting.”

“It’s not right for a god to like the taste of blood that much.”

“The taste of blood? I’m under the orders of Limen-sama to beat up bad guys.”

“Okay let’s go.”

“okay.”

A tiny munchkin kitten grows into a majestic white tiger in an instant.

A saddle was placed on Snow White’s back.

“What’s a saddle?”

“Rimen-nim personally gave me this to use when fighting my master.”

Is it just me or does it look like there’s a heart embroidered on the saddle?

I lightly climbed onto Snow White. Then Aiden who had been blankly watching this scene from the side said something.

“Weren’t you running?”

“You can’t run around like a dog in heat. After all it’s war right?”

“…Then me?”

“You’re a dog to begin with so it’s not strange for you to run around.”

“That’s too bad.”

Aiden looks really upset.

I knew this would happen so I prepared in advance.

I nodded with a smirk and then a black bull came running fiercely from behind me.

Of course it was Beth.

“You cannot leave me out of the war against the exiles. I am ready Pope.”

“You two are partners in this battle.”

“Oh aren’t you our spirit being? Please take good care of me.”

Aiden riding on a black bull and stirring up the enemy camp…

It’s dizzying just thinking about it.

Aiden climbed on top of Beth with ease and Beth snorted a few times and stamped her feet as if she was not in a bad mood.

“You two look good together.”

A savage on a bull.

It feels like I’m looking at an old myth.

“But what’s the point of just the two of us riding? From the beginning this strategy was to take advantage of the mobility of the majority…”

“It’s so noisy over there. If you keep arguing you’ll be the commander.”

“That can’t be. I’m a savage. I was just giving advice to a friend-.”

“Snow White.”

“okay.”

That was when.

A brilliant light spreads out from Snow White’s body.

And the light took its place in front of our sect’s troops.

After a while.

“…Siwoo.”

“Why Aiden.”

“You have everything planned out.”

“Our goddess loves children so much. How could she have sent them away empty-handed?”

Warhorses armed with blessed armor appeared and all the troops rode on them.

“The battle priests join the main force immediately after blessing the paladins.”

“Yes Your Majesty!”

In an instant a cavalry force of 1500 men appears.

Horsemanship?

There’s no need for that.

Each and every one of those words is a divine being imbued with Limen’s will.

It was made so that it can move as one body with the knights.

instead.

“Master it’s really hard for me to maintain them. So let’s finish this as quickly as possible.”

It has the disadvantage of eating away at Snow White’s strength.

If you think about it it’s even more so because each of those war horses is infused with Snow White’s power.

However since we have gathered a lot of divine power from the Earth we can endure it well.

I patted Snow White on the back and raised the corners of my mouth.

“Just hold on a little longer. I’ll finish it soon.”

He lightly patted Snow White on the back and then took a deep breath.

And he shouted excitedly toward the troops who were ready to charge.

“let’s go!”

“For Limen!”

“For Limen!”

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.

The knights began to charge across the frozen river.

The target was the enemy’s left wing.

6.

Kang Chae-ah couldn’t help but be speechless as she watched the scene unfolding before her eyes.

“The breakthrough of the left wing of the Limen Church has been completed!”

“Strike the enemy’s flank immediately!”

The cavalry of the Limen sect which had begun to advance destroyed the enemy’s left wing with overwhelming speed.

The alien race which appeared to be a mutant troll screamed and tried to stop them but their resistance was completely meaningless.

The cavalry of the Limen Order tramples the enemy mercilessly.

A flash of pure white light mercilessly tore apart the enemy’s left wing.

‘What on earth do strategy and tactics mean….’

At the forefront of the Limen sect two men were running wild.

Through the drone provided by Raphael we were able to check the battlefield in real time. Kim Si-woo on a white tiger and Aiden on a black cow were scattering the battle lines like fish in water.

The difference in numbers seemed meaningless to them.

‘…Irregular.’

Kang Chae-ah is now reflecting on the meaning of the nickname ‘Irregular’ that has been given to them.

Irregular beings.

Extra-normal beings who are far outside the scope of ordinary people.

It has always been an immutable truth that the attacker is at a disadvantage compared to the defender.

Although it was a crude defensive line once the defensive line was formed it was obvious that the defending side had the advantage.

Since the difference in forces was not that great she was expecting a major loss.

But the tactics they had worked on all night were nothing more than scraps of paper in the face of overwhelming force.

Hammer and anvil?

‘no.’

Just that.

“…You can break everything with a hammer.”

Enemies are turned to dust the moment they touch the hammer.

-For Limen!

-For Limen!

Following the path created by the two Irregulars the knights armed with faith boldly delve into it.

Attacks pour in from all sides to stop them.

Magic arrows even advanced weapons of unknown origin.

However the knights naturally take the attack with their bodies and pierce through the front.

The crack that started on the left wing of the defensive formation quickly began to spread to the center of the enemy.

Kkieeeek!

Wha! What the hell!

The enemies tried to escape death by screaming but the hooves of the Limen Sect would not allow it.

As if a modern tank were trampling over obstacles.

Kookookookookookookung.

Fleeing enemies are trampled to pieces by the hooves of war horses.

Kang Chae-ah looked at that sight and felt helpless for the first time in her life.

Tactics are no longer useful.

strength.

Overwhelming power was the only adjective that described this battlefield.

“Raphael Cheon Ja-hyeon.”

Kang Chae-ah spoke to Raphael and Cheon Ja-hyeon who were waiting next to her.

“Yes please speak.”

At this point Kang Chae-ah decided to just take it easy.

tactics?

Let’s think about that later.

“The enemy’s center is collapsing. Immediately lead your troops to attack the center. Only by pushing forward from both sides with the Limen Sect can we completely annihilate the enemy.”

“All right.”

“Please minimize the damage. Please.”

“You don’t have to worry. I was already jealous because it seemed like only those people were having fun.”

“This is a good opportunity to test weapons.”

The decision to suddenly deploy irregulars whose bodies were already tense.

The battle was going in a slightly different direction than initially planned but Kang Chae-ah was happy anyway.

‘After all winning a battle is the best way to go.’

I decided to just think that way.

Just like Kim Si Woo.

Kang Chae-ah nodded with a sigh.

Kang Chae-ah had already adapted to the ways of the Limen sect.

Our Pope please stop this
