"We are now facing a crisis of unprecedented proportions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Naja, the godless enemy of God, is attacking the Holy City and is destroying the Church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a very dangerous situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The worst that can be expected when Naja attacks the Holy City, the headquarters of the Church, is that it will lead to the destruction of the human race.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps some of you may not be aware of this due to the long period of absence of immortals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason why the attack on the Holy City leads to the danger of human extinction is that the Holy City has been sealed since ancient times with the King of Immortals, a dangerous being that could not be defeated even with the holy sword.

　If Naja attacks the Holy City, the Immortal King may be resurrected.

　If so, the earth will be polluted by the unholy power of the Immortal King, and the defilement will be spread to all living creatures.

　The filth of the immortals is contagious.

　If this happens, one after another will be affected by the stain and become immortal themselves, and from there new contamination will spread.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After this happens, it will be too late.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, I, Paul, Archbishop of the Church of the Holy Light and a canonized saint, and Ars von Barca, also a canonized knight, are going to the Holy City to prevent this unprecedented crisis.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now, those of you who have heard my words, please send your prayers to the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That the Holy Knights I lead will successfully stop Naja's rampage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that you will prepare the way for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I ask for your cooperation so that I can reach the Holy City without delay from the Kingdom of Fontana in the north.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let us protect the peace of the world with the cooperation of all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　God bless our Holy Knights.

　Archbishop Paul finished his talk in the city of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He spoke in front of the large church that had been built in the city of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This speech was intended to be heard by the inhabitants of the city of Fontana, but also to be broadcast on the radio and spread throughout the country.

　The road to the Holy City, which must cross several noble territories and the dominions of the house of Reinsatz.

　When I, a general of the Kingdom of Fontana, took the initiative in this move, I was met with resistance from all quarters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were probably concerned that, although we were going to the Holy City in order to defeat Naja, we might change course along the way and any of the noble domains might be attacked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, in order to alleviate this anxiety, it was decided that it would be a group of the Church that would go to the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To do so, they even used the title of saint held by Archbishop Paul.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And with that, I was going to the Holy City as a holy knight, not as the Prime Minister and Grand Commander of the Kingdom of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Originally, I was certified as a holy knight simply because I was a valuable person who could make a holy sword, but I decided to make it seem as if I were a knight belonging to the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was done to avoid wasting time at the various customs and other points of entry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As an insurance policy, I asked Archbishop Paul not to interfere with my speech, and to check me by saying "God bless you" or something like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How effective this will be in other places remains to be seen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But at least in the city of Fontana, they celebrated the departure of the Holy Knights led by Saint Paul.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would like to think that the speech itself went well.

"Hey, Ars. Hey, Ars, are you really going to wear this metal armor?　It's heavy, and metal is affected by the cold, isn't it?"

"Don't be like that, brother Bite. The usual black devil's armor doesn't look like the Holy Knights of the Church. This armor made by the Boutica family is classy and above all, it's a great piece of armor that is resistant to magical attacks. If all the Knights of the Holy Order were wearing this armor, they might be tempted to pass through the various customs.

"What's that? Well, if you're cold, you're welcome to join us as usual, Ars. You can make it less cold with your [summon ice spirit]."

　The Order of the Holy Knights accompanying Saint Paul.

　It is a hastily created and unrealized order headed by me, who has been knighted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are about 150 of us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We call ourselves the Holy Knights so that we can pass through the noble houses in various places, but if there are too many of us, we will be stopped at the customs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So we decided to narrow down the number in advance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I, my brother Bite, and other warriors of Atmos such as Thanatos, Laila, and Ian are also participating.

　They usually wear demon armor, but this time they wore metal armor.

　The vulcanized steel forged in the furnace was reinforced with the magic of the Boutika family [Attribute Addition].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If this metal armor is made of magic stone, it can have high resistance against magic attacks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the past, Pessi of the House of Uruk wore similar armor, and it was an excellent armor that was almost unscathed even when attacked by magic swords.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it is not certain that they would be able to withstand the Light of Judgment even if they wore such armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, perhaps it is because the armor was made from Barca steel with speckled patterns and [attribute added] with magical stones, it has a strange sense of holiness.

　Perhaps it is because he used three kinds of magic stones, an immortal bone dragon magic stone, an ice-absorbing stone, and a spirit stone, which can be made with [Magic Stone Generation].

　The Holy Knights, wearing full-body armor with a mysterious luster that seemed to glow blue when exposed to light, but also had an austere tint when seen up close, and mounted on a pure white messenger beast called Valkyrie, were visually impressive as they began their march.

　Therefore, thanks to the fact that they were graciously allowed to pass through the gates of many noble territories, we were able to move more smoothly than when we had previously headed for the labyrinth city in Percival's territory.

　And as the mounted Valkyrie kept running after leaving the city of Fontana, we finally reached the point where we could see the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just a little more and we will be there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's when I thought we were almost there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A pillar of light appeared on the horizon in the direction we were moving, as if it were reaching the heavens.
