Chapter 252 (1/2)

Priest Luther had gone to Alvera two months ago to help the poor.

The other priests of the Sanctity of Holiness were in danger, but he didn’t avoid it, knowing that the more dangerous the place was, the more help it needed.

As expected, Alvera’s slums were in a very bad situation.

As the Konrad Kingdom declared itself as self-independent, the work and the poor didn’t have work, and the masses couldn’t be held.

Luther went over to Duke Ferrierd and asked for assistance and food.

However, he had his doubts that they wouldn’t be willing to help.

“Why is a priest of the Sanctity of Holiness in the area of Marion Par? Get out of here right now!”

Although not arrested or harmed, the retainers of Duke Ferrierd, who have been the spies of Archbishop Constantine expelled Luther from Alvera.

Eventually, moved out of the city, he had no choice but to take care of the people around the nearby area.

While serving in a small Baron called Pelier, he heard a few rumors that Alvera and the rebels had been captured by the empire’s army.

Baron of Pelier and his family made a close escape, and the next day, the army entered inside with Gigants.

As the residents were anxious, Luther stood in front of the gates.

“I can’t let you enter from here.”

At the words of Luther, the leading army soldiers frowned.

If just one soldier or a knight went out with a Gigant, the opponent would be down in a second.

“Look here, priest. The point is, the lord from this place has sent military support to the fleet.”

“On top of that, there was information that a few rebels who fled from Alvera and hid here.”

At the words of the soldiers, Luther understood that the troops were from the capital. Looking at their outfits which were different, they seemed like mercenaries and not regular soldiers.

“There is no one here whom you seek. So, you should top.”

“We can’t do that. We were ordered to occupy the place. Won’t it end only with the remnants cleared? So please don’t interfere, priest.”

On the wall of the territory, a few people were looking at Luther and the mercenaries talking with nervous eyes.

Luther didn’t know that, but among the refugees in the place, there were a few men who were nobles and the families of nobles who sided with the rebels.

Unable to escape with Duke Ferrierd, they had escaped from Alvera acting like commoners.

They were the ones who were looking down from the wall.

“Didn’t you guys listen? The lord and his son ran away last night. Not to mention the soldiers and the retainers. The only people here are the poor and needy ones, so you don’t have to worry and you can go!”

Luther was stubborn.

He was very well aware of the evils and brutality the mercenaries committed once they entered the battlefield.

Those mercenaries too might be there with an excuse to clear the rebels along with destroying the land.

Therefore, he couldn’t just let the innocent people be plundered, arson or even raped in their hands.

“You’re too stubborn. Aeh, Marvin. Serve the priest with respect.”

A large mercenary came out from the group with the instructions of the leader and grabbed Luther’s arm. No, he tried to catch it.

All of a sudden, from the inside of the gate, a white shadow popped out and caught the mercenary’s hand and threw him away.

Booong!

“Kuk!”

The large mercenary flew in the air and then fell to the ground rolling.

Surprised to see it, the mercenaries pulled out their weapons.

“The enemy!”

“Could be an expert knight! Be careful!”

But the man who blocked the mercenary who went in for Luther wasn’t either a wizard or knight.

It was a dark-haired make with a chiseled jaw and round eyes. The clothes that he wore were different, with a Y shaped collar wrapped around at the waist, with loose sleeves and pants.

“Huh? You’re from the southern continent?”

The men of the southern continent differed from those of the Rhodesia continent.

Most of them had dark eyes, dark hair, and bright copper skin.

In addition, the outfit and hair were unique, so they could be recognized at a glance.

The southern continental men weren’t uncommon and always seen in seaside trading, they were pioneered in the trade and were active.

But they never expected that men from there would be inland.

“Hwang Bo-sung, step back.”

At the stern words from Luther, the man from the southern continent called Hwang Bo-sung shook his head and responded.

“They are trying to harm you. I won’t ever let them do that.”

“Even then, violence isn’t a good solution. I always told you to proceed to an issue with a conversation in case it even turns into an argument.”

“But they are dangerous men. I plan to keep you safe.” Answered Hwang Bo-sung.

The mercenaries began to move forward to attack, when Luther exhaled, seeing the firm face of Hwang Bo-sung.

“Go ahead!”

“Avenge Marvin!”

As the mercenaries rushed, Hwang Bo-sung responded immediately.

“Do not kill them!”
