This is a ...... ritual magicized "Sanctuary"?

　The royal capital is enveloped in a pure white glow.
　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.

　It's a high level sacred magic "Sanctuary".
　It's a great way to cleanse your surroundings and keep out impure beings and forces.
　If any undead were to jump into it, they would be cleansed in an instant.

　It's probably ritual magic, since it's spread over such a large area.
　If a large number of people work together to distribute the burden, prepare catalytic items to fuel the magic, and spend plenty of time, they can use advanced magic and perform miraculous feats. This is called ritual magic.

"...... Alastor, what is this?
"I'm sorry, sir. It's a scenario we've been eliminating as unfeasible.

　I asked Alastor how this was going to play out, and his reply was apologetic.

I'm not angry, just tell me why you eliminated them. It might help us in the future.
"Huh.
　First of all, it seemed unlikely that the Order would come up with such a large-scale defensive magic and request it from the temple.
　Ritual magic in the temples of King's Landing was only used to perform important reanimation of the dead, and there were difficulties with the proficiency of the priests and the stockpiling of catalysts.
　For these reasons, we have ruled out the possibility.
"Hmm ......, let's keep that in mind. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

　The reason why the temple unexpectedly used ritual magic is also a matter of concern, but what we need to do now is to deal with it.

The point is to break the wards, right?
Is it possible?
We can't do anything if we don't try.

　You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

　A rock cannon was firing on the city wall.
　I don't know if it's the explosion of gunpowder or magic, but some kind of propulsion fired the cannonball, and it didn't fall ...... on the line of undead, it landed far in front of the line.

Trial run?
Probably. But in a war between humans, when the war starts, people sometimes fire their cannons at each other. Therefore, the roar of artillery is considered to be a signal to start a war, and firing artillery unilaterally without sending a messenger is the ultimate in rudeness.
I see, I see. I see. So the fact that defensive ritual magic was used is a declaration of war.
That's what I thought.

　I looked over and saw an archer holding a longbow on the city wall. He was aiming diagonally upward with a trajectory of shooting arrows in a mountainous direction.
　The range of the longbow is greater than that of a cannon. The longbow's range is greater than a cannon's. It surpasses most magic in power and range when it comes to long-range attacks.
　Ordinary arrows do not do much damage to undead, but they will definitely soak their arrows in holy water before shooting them. ≪It will do the same damage to undead as a weapon that has been "consecrated".

"Hmph.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

　A reddish-black light the size of a soccer ball converges on the tip of the wand.
　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

　It was the first to notice the attack.

　The first to notice the attack were, of course, the knights on the city walls, who were in a fighting stance.

What?

　The artillerymen who were cleaning the muzzles of the cannons were stunned at the sight of the oncoming flash of death.
　But the flash stopped right in front of them.
　It hits the barrier of holy air and stops, only to spark like a spitting match.

　Realizing that he was not going to die, the artilleryman staggered to his feet.
　A reddish-black flash extended from right in front of him to the palanquin behind the undead army, as if an invisible giant were holding a rusty iron rod.

You mean they're going to attack us from this distance?
It's a terrifying magic power. ......

　Both the artillery and the surrounding archers are experts in long range combat.
　This is a great way to make sure that you don't end up in a situation where you're not the only one.
　It was a blow that betrayed that.

It is indeed a terrible magic power. But ...... it was prevented by the priests.
Oh.

　Someone said, and someone else responded.
　They felt the might of the enemy, but the thought that 'the unity of men has defeated it' was their hope for victory.

I will not let the undead overrun this city. The gods are watching our battle.
　Let us pray for victory together. We will prevail. ...... Now is the time to end the nightmare of the last king.

　The flashes of death-colored light kept bouncing off the borders of the wards, like water on a glass window.
　The knights prayed a short prayer and began to move for the next blow.

　I'm not sure.

I'm not sure if you have any illusions about sacred magic or not.
　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　It's a shame that this is the only thing that gives me hope.
　The knights on the walls of the city seem to think that they are under absolute protection.

It's just that magic of opposite attributes cancels out ......, which means it's purely a contest of magic power. The only reason why sacred magic does so much damage to the undead is because it can cut off the magic power that drives them.

　Sacred magic exorcises evil forces and beings.
　...... Why don't we consider that the opposite is also possible? Don't you think that the evil undead would be able to protect themselves from sacred magic with their evil powers? Don't you think it's impossible for evil magic to defile a holy land that has been cleansed?


　How can they believe that their god is the only absolute?

I'm not sure what to make of this.
　Maybe sacred magic is the smallest blessing (cheat) the gods can give to the human race.

　Or maybe that's the root of the misunderstanding.
　Or maybe that's the root of the misconception. Since it's magic that borrows power from the gods and wields power greater than that of the practitioner himself, he must have an advantage over the wicked.

　It is said that this world was once created by the Mediocre One, who existed alone in the void of nothingness, by ripping himself apart.
　All things are balanced between positive and negative. If that's the case, then it must have the same power as the gods to give blessings to the human race. ...... On the other side.

I'm sure you've heard of it.
　I've got a special blessing ...... from an evil god who is equally as powerful as the Great God!

　If Rene had used any other attribute of attack magic, he would have been able to slip through the holy air wards and attack the city directly.
　But Rene did not. The goal was to eliminate the obstacles and start the operation.

"...... Alastor. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

　To give instructions to your undead, all you have to do is remind them, but if you need to have a conversation (feedback), it may be easier to give them verbal instructions from the beginning.

　When Rene commands him to do so, Alastor does as he is told, commanding Rich to listen to what he says.

It seems that all of the personnel stationed in the vicinity of the attack are of the First Order.
"Okay. Then keep your aim .......

　Rene's face is that of a skeleton without facial muscles, but he still smiles to the limit.

"Die!

　A reddish-black flash of death scorched and melted the white, clean barrier.
