The Order Of The Church
Translated by SoundDestiny

The chief priest, facing Nasser with the crumbling church behind him, was trembling all over.
It was not fear. The chief priest was trembling from anger.
That was because…
In front of him was the heretic man in shabby clothes.
He didn’t know how he did it, but he was pretty sure Nasser was the one who destroyed the church.
ZsaZsa! Four torturers in fearsome masks quickly guarded the perimeter.
Aside from the reassurance of being protected by them, the chief priest wanted to say a few words to that fool.
“G-go-God forbid! You should be ashamed!”
“Shame!!? Ha. You tell me, if it doesn’t sound like shit. Prepare the attack!”
Nasser gave an order to his soldiers.
“You fool! Where do you think you are? ──── My church, my holy place.”
“Only about 30 men. What is the matter with them?”
The chief priest didn’t know where they were hired, but the only weapons they had were strange sticks and knives on their backs.
In their strange round helmets, they looked very weak.
“Holy church? What about it? Why don’t you go and get the Church Knights you’re so proud of?”
“I don’t need to be told. Now! I’ll call the Order quickly.”
The chief priest stood and gave instructions to the church knight, who were ready to draw his sword.
“Ha!……but until then, the escort…”
When the knight glanced at the torturers, the chief priest noticed and smiled wryly.
“It will be fine….just go. I’ll deal with this man myself.”
Convinced by the confident smile of the chief priest, the church knight bowed and made his way to the barracks, where the rest of the soldiers were probably quartered.
“Are you sure? Your friend’s running away and you’re not chickening out?”
“No way, ha ha ha. How dare you attack the church headquarters with such a small number of people?”
“It’s more than enough for a scum like you.”
Neither of the two men had lost their air of confidence.
The chief priest’s confidence, in particular, came from who knew where.
“Very well. Let me show you the real Order of the Church, the guardians of our holy places.”
The original Order of the Church was a monastic unit made up of volunteers recruited from the faithful.
Although their skill level was relatively high, they were not genuine knights, and many of them were originally merchants or peasants and joined the Order.
Like the knights of the aristocratic class, the Knights of the Kingdom and the Knights of the Church were completely different, even if they were named Knights.
But what did the Chief Priest say about the real Order of the Church?
“Enough of your nonsense. I’m here to give you hell!”
“Hahaha! How dare a heretic speak of hell, Don’t underestimate the Church, the….saints, and God!”
The chief priest’s expression became fierce, and he flipped his loose-fitting vestments. He took out a tin staff and held it up to the sky.
“Look! These are the Church Knights who protect our Church…..Arise! My holy servants!”
──────Ka!
A [black light] erupted from the chief priest’s tin cane, shaking the area for a moment.
It was neither air nor heat, but a vibration that slightly irritated…..Nasser’s eardrums.
“Mmm?”
“Fufufu, All those who die in this city are buried by the church, numbering….”
Boko!
Boko, Boko!!!
“The ground is boiling?….No…”
“It is said to be tens of thousands or millions. And all of them are under the control of my church!”
“Bastard……you don’t mean…”
Zuboo!
A skeleton hand protrudes from the ground.
Corrupted soul from the underworld.
Some were old, others were newer than others.
They are all dead bodies.
“They were once famous adventurers or heroic soldiers. They were even selected and more powerful than the rest. The church is in charge of them even after their death!”
“So, what you’re saying is that the Church of Saint..is a necromancer behind the scenes?”
“Disrespectful ──.They’re holy warriors.”
“Where’s the holiness about them……?”
It was now clear to everyone that the real Order of the Church was indeed of the undead.
The church dedicated to the holy maiden had a very bad taste.
“UUuuuuu”
“A,Aaa”
Battered equipment and body.
It was a form of necromancy that for all intents and purposes, was forbidden.
And the corpses that came back to life did not look like warriors.
It was truly a moving corpse of…..undead.
No, the more suitable word for it was……a pathetic puppet.
“There are more than a thousand warriors sleeping in this church. Now let’s see how far you can go when you can’t call your dragon!”
“A thousand? A thousand of them?”
Nasser’s voice jumped as if he were astonished.
Thereupon the chief priest, with a satisfied look on his face
“Yes! A thousand warriors. The majesty of our Church Order──”
“Hahhahhahha!”
Nasser, however, laughed it off.
The chief priest had a blue streak in his eyes.
“What’s the matter with you? Now you’re laughing in terror”
“No, I’m fine at the moment……probably…”
“Then what are you laughing at!”
The chief priest didn’t like it.
“You heretic….! If you’re a mook who can’t call your dragon, you should be more frightened!”
“That’s right ……! Now cower ────.”
But…
Nasser continued to laugh.
He raised his voice cheerfully ──.
“HahhahhahhahhahhHahahaaa~ Because it’s funny….do you think you can beat me, my army, with only a thousand corpses?”
Nasser smiled wryly.
Even in the eyes of the chief priest, Nasser had this unfounded confidence.
He didn’t know why, but he felt it.
“But where does his pure confidence come from?”
“We are strong──！Do it! My church knights, my holy warriors, ──── kill the heretics!”
Guuuaaahhhhh!!!
Aaahhhhhhhhhh!!!
A thousand moving corpses loomed with horrifying expressions….
Nasser looked down at it.
“Ha-ha-haa!”
He laughed it off with a snort.
Suuuuu …….
“Try it. ────!!!”
The battle between Nasser and his [German Army] – and the Chief Priest and his [Real Order of the Church] – was about to begin.
