“Captain, I hope you would immediately release me and assist me in eliminating these highly dangerous group of terrorists in the church. Don’t forget that military court will give you electric chair for doing this mutiny if they knew it. Release me. Stop continuing this huge mistake while you can.”
Wick simply punched the wicked guy in the face but still it didn’t shut him up.
“Fuck! What the fuck is wrong with you? Soldiers! Have you also got brainwashed with this fool? Release me and arrest this idiot right now if you don’t want to go to military court with him.”
At that time, Peter’s calm voice appeared, “The battle has come to and end. Now, everyone may enter the church for the trial. They came and made a big mistake first. We’re here to return the favor.”
Soon, the armed neighbors headed by Wick and his troops walked into the church. The badly damaged environment also came into their sight as well as those surrendered troops with various injuries.
Some buildings which were used as dorms by clerics and nuns were only lightly damaged thanks to the guardian spirits who chose to fight open field at the outside instead of taking them as bunkers.
Besides, they didn’t need to take cover. Their armors and shields are the best protection they have.
But, lawns, benches, fountains, flowerbeds and even trees were not spared from the battle.
There were bullet shells everywhere on the lawns and also the shrapnel either inserted in the exploded soils or the concrete walls of fountains and flowerbeds. There were also remains of helicopters on fire.
Then, they noticed the group of soldiers squatting at the square in front of the cathedral building.
Some medical soldiers were already working hard to bandage and treat the injuries of these soldiers.
There were no less wails and suppressed cries at scene. And, the most amazing thing might be the existence of those tall and bulky armored guys. They’re very popular and almost everyone know them.
“Guardian spirits! It’s really them. They’re finally here. Praise you mother Tera. Praise you lord Steller.”, “Thanks, god. We’re not abandoned.”, “Our suffering days are finally going to the end.”
Peter looked at the noisy scene and felt that the situation was ripe and it’s time for him to appear.
There was no noble and glorious looking cape nor a more beautiful armor on him. They’re all wearing the same looking armors. But, he was a head taller. Peter led a group of five and came to the square.
In the middle of the team of five was Nick who was holding the banner with the flag of sun.
Along the way, the guardian spirits nodded at Peter and the latter also nodded back slightly.
As for whether what these guys were talking on their team communication channels, Peter also didn’t bother to spy on it. Whenever he thinks of built in communication system of their helmet, Peter feels magical because it transmits information directly to their mind and they also control it with their mind.
While easing his thoughts, Peter stopped in front of the group of surrendered soldiers.
The messy and noisy crowd also calmed down as they noticed the tall and imposing armored man.
The point was he seemed to be the leader of these mysterious armored units who KO them easily.
Behind the squatting surrendered soldiers were the crowd led by Wick. At that point, they’re looking at those armored men with adoring eyes. Several men and women were busy photographing the scene.
Major Redfield was also shoved forwards along with the other crews who got arrested.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Peter moved his head to glance around and said through sound creation technique, “Good day, everyone. Some of you may know us. Some may not. But, it doesn’t matter.”
He pointed major Redfield who was brought forward by two soldiers under Wick and said, “This guy brought misfortune to this city. In the past, there used to be four gods sheltering this city with their glories. There used to be followers of four gods guarding this city from the evil things along with the followers of mother Tera. But, one man decided to ruin everything.
I don’t understand why he must target the church of origin. We were not seeking the governing authority. We were not seeking wealth. We were not doing any evil thing.
But, he came. He came to this city with a group of troops raised by the country and your wealth.
He sealed the church. He disappointed the followers of gods. He angered them and made them leave this city. However, I want to tell everyone that no one abandoned you. They left the location of their new resident at the church and it’s only tens of miles away from the city. It is also our residence.
But, some of these guys squatting here destroyed it and hid about it from you. And, they also destroyed the things of gods including the statues of four gods and mother Tera, finally angering them.”
Seeing the crowd was outraged, Peter hurriedly said, “Please calm down and listen to me first.”
Fortunately, many armed neighbors put down their raised gun muzzles although they’re very angry.
Peter also didn’t waste time and said before these angry crowd shot and killed the squatting soldiers,
“Please remember the teaching of mother Tera. There is no real innocent here. Although the gods may care about their statues being destroyed and they may be angry from it, mother Tera will not care.
She embraces everyone equally as her children. Several culprits in these soldiers may really responsible for their destruction which is also blasphemy. Finally, remember that this is the trial.”
The crowd also slowly calmed down as they thought about the teachings of Tera.
Peter pointed at several squatting guys and called them to come out to the front.
He didn’t bother to ask one by one. He directly used the spiritual eyes and called out the ones with dark mists surrounding their souls. They’re probably cursed by the gods or the conscious of mankind itself.
Ten guys gritted their teeth and walked out while shivering. They felt that their future was dark.
They didn’t know that their future would be really dark since they decided to do that even if Peter didn’t do anything to them. Sometimes, being a fool has a blessing of being a fool.
The dark mists surrounding their souls didn’t give Peter any filthy feeling but just extreme terror.
His eighth sense was warning him that he would be really unlucky as long as he touched it lightly.
In his spiritual sight, not only these ten guys were tainted with these omnivous strange dark mists but also the main culprit major Redfield and many of his subordinates.
It’s just they got different amount of dark mists pollution on them. Especially, the quantity and the quality of dark mists tangling the soul of Major Redfield were the scariest one in the crowd.
Glancing at the polluted souls of squatting soldiers, Peter felt cold for the first time since he became a glorious transcendent knight. Although he got no idea about the properties and functions of these mists, he felt that they would bring no good thing to the polluted people.
What’s even more scary was it was polluting to other people through unknown means.
Even if Peter knew that he had a blessing from light, he didn’t dare to take the risk.
“Okay, even if you ten people had committed a blasphemy under the order of your major, we are not crazy cultists who only knows to kill. It’s undeniable that you’re sinners and should be punished.
Of course, you should be glad that the ones standing here and doing the trial are guardian spirits and not the followers of other gods. If it’s them, you had already become corpses now.
At first, I wanted to let you serve this origin church for several decades to atone your sins.
But, I see that you guys have already got the punishments from unknown entities on you.
So, I decided to let you go. Let them go. Give them two pickup trucks and let them get out of this city.”
After Peter told about his judgment like that, many people at scene felt very disappointed.
They were expecting something else. Besides, it didn’t even look like a decent trial.
What about crimes? What about sins? What about opinions of jurors? …
The crowd became confused. They felt that they understood something and also didn’t get anything.
However, everyone felt that the punishment was very light for a major crime like big blasphemy of even destroying the statues of gods and ruining the prayer hall.
Especially, letting them go simply sounded like a complete joke. Surrendered soldiers were also surprised by Peter’s strange decision. Inside, they felt lucky because they would probably got lighter sentence since they didn’t even participate in anything from the first place.
As for them holding weapons and attacking these armored men a few minutes ago, they forgot it.
Despite of the residents in the neighborhood and even those soldiers under Wick raising questions, Peter was determined to prosecute what he just said. He calmly said,
“Stop talking nonsense. I told you that they already got the punishment they deserved.
You’re mortals so you cannot see that. Just repel them from this city. Give them two pickup trucks and send them away. Or else, everyone in this city is going to be unlucky.”
