People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

"Even if there is no such thing, I can rival Sanctuary by myself~"

"You bastard!!!!!!!!!"

Chapter 460: Are you prepared to be sacrificed in exchange for peace?

Neither side of the asylum standoff moved right away.

Piaggio didn't take his fingers off the cross on his neck for a moment since he stepped into this room, obviously he was always on guard against Sigurd.

As much as he wanted to kill Sigurd, he also knew that now was not the time.

In a head-to-head fight, I'm afraid he will be smashed to pieces in the first round, right?

But as long as he can delay time, Piaggio may also kill Sigurd.

The only possibility of defeating Sigurd, the monster mercenary that has always made the Roman Orthodox Church fearful, lies in this "Queen's Fleet".

But just when he was about to say something to delay the time, Agnes, who had not interrupted the conversation, asked him first.

"Bishop Piaggio, do you think that if Academy City is destroyed, everyone will be happy?"

"Sister Agnes, I'm surprised you have such a question."

Piaggio didn't want to delay the time any longer, so he naturally took up the topic raised by Agnes.

Sigurd is a very powerful mercenary, and because this mercenary has been rampant on the "magic side" for nearly ten years, almost everyone knows about Sigurd's "habits".

If Sigurd didn't kill the opponent immediately, it means that there is still room for maneuver.

In other words, Sigurd has not yet decided to kill immediately, or has not judged Piageo as an enemy that "must be killed" for the time being.

Likewise, Sigurd presumably had no intention of sinking the "Queen of the Adriatic Sea" and the "Queen's Fleet" surrounding it.

(Even this "lawless" mercenary would probably be afraid of the power of the Roman Orthodox Church? Even if he is known as the "strongest modern gold", it is impossible for him to send the entire Roman Orthodox Church's "Sea Fleet" to Destruction is, after all, he is still a person on the "magic side"...)

Piaggio thinks so. He believes that the reason why Sigurd didn't act immediately is largely because there is no need to make the relationship between Academy City and the Roman Orthodox Church too tense.

"Then, let me answer your doubts. First of all, I don't think so. After all, there are also harmful characters in the 'magic side'. British Puritanism, Russian Orthodoxy, remove the framework of Christianity, and Buddhism and Nordic mythology. There are too many sources of problems, and it is not enough to just eliminate Academy City."

"Then why do you want to do this? If Academy City is eliminated, what about those innocent students?"

"This has nothing to do with me. Although we won't be able to achieve a world that can truly be called 'peace' immediately, as long as it continues, as long as all obstacles are removed! One day all impure substances will be eradicated , only the Roman Orthodox Church is left!!”

Piaggio calmed down, and continued speaking as if impatient with Rukia and Sister Angelina who were trembling behind Sigurd.

He deliberately delayed the world, so the speed of his tone became a little slow.

"It's really not thorough. When did religion become a convenient tool? Sodom and Gomorrah were indeed burned. But the scientific forces blamed the Christianity's mistake for the Inquisition. This is the real misunderstanding."

"..."

"Why does God have to be patient for the sake of human beings? If there are people and things that are not good for God, there is nothing wrong with eliminating them. This is no different from burning weeds. Even if the surrounding grass is burned during the process, there is nothing wrong with it."

How serious the damage would be if such a large-scale operation was performed under this kind of thinking?

In order to burn an enemy to death, it is very likely that the whole city will be burned down.

This will be the worst tragedy in the history of Christianity.

【This is a necessary sacrifice】

Perhaps the vast majority of people sneered at this nonsense, but at this time Sigurd nodded as if approving.

Everyone else at the scene was a little surprised, and everyone didn't know what to say for a while.

"It is a reasonable judgment to have to sacrifice the interests of a small number of people for the sake of 'great righteousness'. It is better to say that as a 'manager', it is correct to have such decisive power."

"Mr. Sigurd..."

"..."

Agnes and Piaggio stared blankly at Sigurd. The mercenary's words prevented them from realizing what had happened for a while.

"The so-called 'everyone' is a hypocritical peace and consensus achieved after ignoring and sacrificing the interests of a small number of vulnerable groups. In order to achieve the necessary peace, even necessary sacrifices are allowed."

Seeing Sigurd unexpectedly agreeing to his idea, Bishop Piaggio made a trembling excited voice with joy.

"That's right, that's it. I didn't expect Sigurd-kun to be so enlightened. Then..."

"So, Mister 'Little People', are you prepared to be sacrificed in exchange for peace?"

"..."

At this moment, all five magicians on the scene realized the fact that the battle had begun long ago.

And the moment to distinguish between "professional" and "amateur" is this moment.

Agnes clasped her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes and chanted the mantra, while Angelina and Rukia on the side also started to chant the spell.

But on the other hand, Sigurd and Piaggio's spells have indeed been activated.

It is reasonable to start reciting spells in order to activate each other's spells, but it is too late in the current situation.

Or, it should be said that they were too careful.

During the battle, it is clear that it is only necessary to complete the communication of the meaning. In order to release the spell as quickly as possible, many professional magicians will ignore the link that is originally intended to protect the operator.

That is to say, the real elite can distinguish whether the "insurance" should be discarded in exchange for the speed of spell activation through the specific situation.

Compared to Sigurd and Piaggio, although they were battle sisters, the three of Agnes began to construct the spell with the concentration as if they were carefully sculpting a face.

On such an imminent battlefield, such a casting speed is simply too late.

In contrast, Piaggio only touched the cross on his neck, and Sigurd only drew the symbol of "one stroke" in the void with his fingers.

"The cross shows the rejection of evil!"

While muttering words, he easily threw the three crosses off the necklace at the feet of the three of Agnes.

The three of them got together in the next instant because of the habits they had developed from getting along and doing missions.

And Rukia and Angelina, who noticed that the cross was thrown to their side, immediately took corresponding countermeasures.

boom! !

Before the "countermeasure" was actually implemented, the small ornament exploded and swelled.

It was a veritable explosion, and the expansion speed was like a blast wind expressed by metal.

The attack, as if an iron rod knocked through the door, shattered Angelina's "Matthew's Purse" in one shot.

wow wow~

Looking at Sister Angelina, who was tightly closed and scattered on the ground, her face turned pale.

This is her spiritual outfit, so she knows better than anyone how strong that seemingly thin purse is.

And being guarded behind her, because she didn't have a spiritual outfit, Agnes gasped.

The other two crosses were passing Angelina, attacking her who was unarmed and Sister Rukia who was at a loss.

The second shot exploded above Sister Lucia's shoulders, hitting from top to bottom, as if to loosen her joints.

Just as her upper body was curled up in a defensive posture, the fact that the second cross just knocked her down to the ground did not cause any further damage.

The third shot was aimed at Agnes.

Unlike the previous two, at this moment, Agnes was still wearing the "shame-bound" spirit-binding outfit based on "exposure punishment".

Therefore, she can neither form a defensive spell, nor can she evade or counterattack.

Once it hits, it will fall, and Agnes, who can't make a loan, will become the opponent's breakthrough. With the abilities of Rukia and Sister Angelina, it is absolutely impossible to fight Piaggio while protecting her.

Obviously the threat was right in front of her eyes, but for some reason, Agnes didn't feel scared or uneasy.

She stared straight at the cross that could easily smash her bones, without even subconsciously raising her hand to resist.

There was the sound of the hammer hitting the wall, and the weight-bearing cross hit the hard ice wall, making a dull and loud noise.

Chapter 460: Only I can't pretend I didn't hear that sentence just now

Piaggio was stunned, and so were Lucia and Sister Angelina.

Even Agnes, who was targeted, was stunned.

It suddenly exploded and swelled, thinking about the heavy bombardment of Agnes, the cross embedded in the solid ice wall with great weight.

In the contest of attack and defense, it seems that the protective mechanism of the "Queen of the Adriatic Sea" is better.

"What the hell did you do?"

"I have repeated this kind of thing countless times. If you insist on asking, then I will say it again."

Shaking his fingers, Sigurd said helplessly.

"As for me, what I'm good at is 'position capture'. To explain it further, I'm a person who is good at capturing the opponent's 'ceremony field'..."

Sigurd spit out rather bad lines, which sent a chill down Piaggio's spine.

If you think about it according to Sigurd, then...

"In other words, this 'Queen of the Adriatic Sea' has been captured by me. It's not difficult to manipulate the mere ice blocks, right?"

With Sigurd's finger waving, the ice wall that suddenly rose up in front of Agnes began to move.

It turned into a pool of ice-water mixture as if it had melted, and then changed its shape like a slime, and then stood on the ground in the state of knight armor.

"That's impossible! Yes... yes, that's impossible."

Piaggio, who had been yelling at the moment, suddenly calmed down.

He frowned, staring at the "knight" who blocked the god Agnes.

"This is not the 'guard' of the 'Queen'!"

Yes, the shape of the knight is not based on the bodyguard of the "Queen of the Adriatic Sea", or even the existence of the "Roman Orthodox Church".

Relatively speaking, it should be closer to the British Puritan knight armor, and the two-handed sword held is closer to the "cross sword".

"The operating authority of the 'Queen of the Adriatic Sea' is completely concentrated in the 'main control room', even if it is an invasion technique, it is impossible to seize the overall operating authority. It is even more impossible to operate the guards in this 'ammunition room'."

"..."

Sigurd touched his beardless chin, as if he didn't expect Piaggio to say such a line, and was a little overwhelmed by his reaction.
