“Don’t move! Drop your weapons now. No, throw them away.”
Four soldiers were surrounded and pointed with guns by five armored guys. They swallowed the saliva with cold sweats on their backs and chose to throw out their rifles onto the ground a few meters away. They were not stupid enough to not accept the reality. So, they surrendered.
After all, the bullets shot by them left no trace on the beautifully decorated armors of these strangers.
Moreover, these guys at the opposite were not dummies and they got big caliber guns in their hands.
At first, they thought that they would be able to take down these strange guys in armors at the opposite.
So, they took cover behind concrete flower beds and started shooting Ben’s squad who were coming towards them. Then, the bullets and grenades announced their failures while the armored guys rushed forward in a fast speed which they didn’t even think of and surrounded them.
Facing the five armored strangers and the muzzles, they had chosen to surrender helplessly.
Looking at the four guys obediently kneeling with the hands above their heads, Ben decided to not take hard actions. He said through the radio, “Stay here honestly. We don’t want to hurt you.”
When the four prisoners heard the cold sound coming through the small speaker tied to Ben’s right hand, they became honest as they realized that their lives would not be in danger.
“Ronald, Allen, you two stay here and watch out these guys. I’m going to take Glenn and Dale to look around. I don’t want any mistake you know. Even if Peter will blame us, shooting their legs is fine.”
After he reminded Ronald and Allen on the team communication channel of helmet, Ben gestured towards Glenn and Dale and he took them away with him. While he was heading towards the backyard, he suddenly felt that a great will had descended upon the cathedral. It also gave him a familiar warmth.
Soon, he felt instantly refreshed. Although he didn’t know what exactly happened, he understood that it had something to do with Peter and that great will could be probably the will of their lord.
It was not just Ben. In fact, all guardian spirits felt the abnormal thing and guessed the same thing.
At that moment, guardian spirits suddenly knew that the legion channel was opened. When they stopped talking with brothers nearby to not mess up the channel, Peter’s calm voice appeared.
“This is Peter. All team leaders, please report your current situation.”
“First team has taken control of the front gate. We have arrested five crew members of a Humvee at the parking lot. No one got injured. All clear.”
“Second team is now guarding the north gate. We haven’t found any suspicious person yet. All clear.”
“Third team has taken down the east gate. All clear. Over.”
“Fourth team has taken down the west gate. No threat. All clear. Over.”
“Fifth team has arrested four soldiers at the building near the backyard. All clear. Over.”
Ben raised his hand and signaled Glenn and Dale to stop when he heard Peter’s question on the quiet main channel. After listening to a bunch of reports about occupations from other teams, he also reported about their team at his turn. Then, he waved his two brothers to follow and walked forward.
Peter listened to the reports patiently and said, “All units, be ready for battle. It’s the best if we don’t have to fight. But, if we have to fight, show them that we are not soft and weak guys.”
He thought for a few seconds and reminded, “Pay attention to not kill. Just neutralize their firepower if possible. I know you can do it. Please remember that we are not murderers and we’re not here to kill.
And also, the teams with prisoners, let a brother in your team send the prisoners to the cathedral.”

The current church has completely fallen into their hands at that moment. It’s not a small place.
The origin church compound is as big as around four hectares which is about ten football fields.
Eight teams have occupied the four gates and four parts of the compound.
One of the last two teams is standing with Peter in front of the cathedral at the moment and the other team has occupied the third floor of the cathedral at the central place as high ground.
Moreover, they were also holding nine prisoners in their hands.
Peter looked at the windows of five stories building at the distance which were full of onlookers.
It seemed that they had made a big noise. But that was also exactly what he wanted.
Peter took a breathe and silently prepared to open a big killer soon. He waited patiently just like that.
After waiting for a while, around fifty Humvee and ten tanks arrived and tightly surrounded the church. There were also several armed helicopters hovering in the air. Some were flying around and some dropped soldiers onto the roof of nearby buildings. The dropped soldiers quickly took good positions.
Almost all onlookers and also the soldiers felt that nobody could fight against their strong lineup.
The fully equipped soldiers came down from Humvee leaving only drivers and gunners in the vehicles.
Despite of facing around two hundred enemies, Peter and his brothers stood still and didn’t care much.
Peter faintly felt that the appropriate time had arrived and he should start doing it.
Before major Redfield stepped out from his vehicle, a loud and clear voice sounded.
“Ladies and gentlemen, some of you may wonder what is going on with my speech which you’re now hearing. I used a special method so everyone can hear me. Alright, listen to me. I’ve got something to say. Yes, I brought my brothers here today and we have occupied the original site of origin church.
There was a little conflict and we arrested nine soldiers. Now, there is an army surrounding us.
We are the guardian spirits, the first legion under the direct command of Angel Julia and we serve the great Eternal Sun God Steller. Some of you may know us. Some may not. But it doesn’t matter.
I believe that everyone is suffering during the recent days since the new group of troops arrived.
They not only sealed the origin church but also destroyed the sacred things and angered the Gods.
Originally, the city had the glories of many enshrined Gods so normal evil things couldn’t have easily harmed you people. But, the angry Gods took back their glories and blessings so you suffered.”
The speech was not loud. It was like whispering near the ears and very clear too.
However, it somehow sounded like that at all places in the range of around five kilometer radius with the origin church as the center. Sound insulation structures didn’t even stop it due to unknown reasons.
There were many residents living in the secret art’s range. They all heard it and got confused at first.
Just when the confused people were coming to a realization, Peter’s last sentence arose their anger.
Most of the residents living around the origin church are all devout followers and even the church’s site was originally donated by some of their elders several decades ago. Some of them could be really considered as insiders and they have long years of relationship with the origin church.
They were all living in confusions recently as the city was going through hell like period and no one from the church was coming out to fulfill their duties. They even thought about moving out.
They didn’t even blame the church a bit because they understood that death was a part of nature.
All in all, the church has no responsibility to take care of them all the time. It depends on kindness.
It was all because they didn’t know anything about blasphemy things done by the soldiers.
However, they didn’t suffer any attack from those lowly evil things thanks to blessed items and blessed pendents of real angels. But, they were living in confusion and they sought for answers.
Now, they finally knew about what exactly happened. They didn’t need to know the details and knowing that the new batch of troops had destroyed many sacred things inside the church was enough.
Thinking of the familiar people living in despairs during these days and the rumors about those who died in the hands of lowly evil things, many people couldn’t wait to take their guns and shoot those bastards on streets. Some people thought about their previous peaceful city and missed it.
While the nearby residents were shouting angrily and picking up their guns, Major Redfield, who also heard the strange speech just after he came out of his vehicle, instantly felt bad. He realized that he had probably done a stupid thing and he better shut up that guy who was talking as fast as he could.
After all, some soldiers standing nearby were already starting to discuss in low voices.
As a commander, he knew that he could not control the army in low moral and in dissatisfaction.
But, things were not that troublesome. He knew that he only needed to push it hard to no return point.
So, he quickly grabbed the radio and shouted, “What are you waiting for! Start the offense! Now!
Don’t let them disturb your mind. Take down this dangerous group of terrorists and save the city.”
Soldiers who heard their major’s command from the individual radios also started to move although they also had various doubts in their hearts. Some were already thinking about mutiny.
Of course, Peter who had been watching every movements in four hundred meters radius saw it all.
