Chapter 215 Gunshots in Corsica
"Kaka, let's do it!"
“Those worms in the cathedral, looking down on us and being so aggressive, are we supposed to submit to those who don’t live on this island? Can the Vatican just send some random people to judge our friends and family?”
"I believe that only by being independent of the Papacy can we, the island of Corsica, live freely. To achieve this independence, we must first eliminate those incorrigible scoundrels of the Inquisition!"
"Hero! You are a hero, you must shoulder the responsibility of saving the people! Hero Kaka! I have a deck of divination cards, let me ask the goddess..."
A local magistrate took out a deck of divination cards, but before he could even hold them properly, a knight dressed as an officer from the Order of Knights reached out and knocked the deck of divination cards away.
"What did you say? You think we can't fight without a lucky star? Let's fight! Brave Kaka!"
The hero stood up, his long hair flying. He squatted down, picked up a wooden box from under the table, opened it, and inside were strips of white cloth.
“Listen up…”
Night fell over Corsica. On the island, two fast horses left the city of Corsica, and the Corsican militia guarding the city gates were replaced by soldiers dressed in khaki uniforms, carrying rifles, and with white cloth strips tied to their arms.
In the vast darkness, the whistle broke the silence of the mountain area, and the soldiers, who had long since developed a conditioned reflex, were startled awake from their beds. One by one, they hurriedly put on their coats and military caps, some even without opening their eyes, before they were dressed.
Beep beep beep —
The armory was opened, and the secretly imported Martini-Henry rifles were distributed by the armorer. But it wasn't until everyone had been issued ammunition that most of them were surprised to find that they would actually need them one day.
The arrival of the Amerlansi military advisor did indeed change many things. When the hero first introduced the Amerlansi military advisor, many members of the Knights had strong opinions about it.
But when the trained militiamen overwhelmed them in battle, many were convinced of their superiority. Although many chose to leave the Knights, those who remained truly witnessed the power of the new military.
In the past, it would have been difficult to organize an emergency assembly in the middle of the night without prior notice, but now, the entire Corsican militia guard has been assembled within an hour.
The presence of clergy in the army is even more surprising. Each company is equipped with a military priest. Unlike the priests in the church, the Corsican military priests also need to participate in the battle and are also members of the team. The difference is that they will provide confession to the soldiers.
"The people under the goddess's command are suffering terribly, and your family members must be suffering the same way, right?"
The people of this sacred land, whose brothers must sell themselves for food, are not even allowed to use the wealth they earn through their own labor.
The people were desperate and exhausted from the daily torment of the church…
"Listen to me, everyone! The Goddess would never want her people to suffer like this. It is the incompetent members of the church who have blinded Her Majesty, preventing her from seeing the tragic plight of humanity! It is the church's priests who have deceived their superiors and subordinates, leading to this current situation."
The people toiling on the land of the goddess, their wives and sons still at home with high fevers.
Today we will punish the traitors of our nation and show the Goddess the incompetence and corruption of the Church!
"Those shameless scoundrels of the Inquisition, they are nothing but lackeys, they are the real demons. Love for the Goddess is not limited by race. The Inquisition, which burns innocent people at will simply because of differing interpretations of the scriptures compiled by the Church itself, deserves to die! And now! They have extended their claws to our Corsica!"
Amid the voices of the church and officers, the soldiers looked solemn. Many of them had come to Corsica because of persecution, and many were young men, full of passion. Many gripped their guns tightly, awaiting orders.
"Now, the Goddess has authorized the Hero to lead her people in rebellion against the villains. It is time to punish the wicked and uphold divine authority!"
The urgent mission reached the brigade commander, and the high priest, Father Luther, a Protestant priest, sprinkled holy water on everyone. The soldiers knew that war was about to begin, and the prayers of their comrades and the priest's holy water provided them with psychological comfort.
"First Battalion! Move out!"
"Second Battalion! Move out!!!"
"Sing in unison!"
The marching troops raised three kerosene lamps, and each of the artillery wagons had two. A song composed by the brave and adapted by the locals was sung.
"Oh, the sea is turbulent! Corsica is shrouded in dark clouds!"
"Living in this dark age, my blood is boiling!"
"Those with privileges are arrogant and overbearing!"
"I will not concern myself with the affairs of my people!"
"The priests were extremely extravagant and greedy."
"I will not concern myself with the affairs of my people!"
"The people suffer, while corrupt officials amass wealth."
"The people have been deceived, and God's paradise is in utter chaos!"
"Like a chessboard layout, we've made our move!"
"For the earthly paradise of the goddess's people!"
The troops marched into the city from the mountain. At each city gate, where the guards had already been replaced, there were Corsican guards soldiers with white cloths tied around their arms. The hero was also wearing the same uniform, with white cloths tied around his arms, and carrying the FN FAL automatic rifle that Alice had given him.
"Let's go! Heading towards the cathedral!"
Corsica's streets are not wide, but they are more than enough for the troops to move about. The soldiers marched forward in neat formations. However, Corsica is not a very large island, and news of some things doesn't get very close.
"What are you doing? Listen to me! This is the forbidden area of the Inquisition!"
Outside the cathedral, several paladins drew their swords and pointed them at the soldiers, while behind them, two mages stood ready.
"I'm listening!"
"Brothers! It's them, the lackeys of the Inquisition! Fire!"
At first, some people dared not fire their guns. The Inquisition, a notorious organization of the Church, had killed countless people over the centuries. In their hands, an entire village had once been razed to the ground.
boom!
One man opened fire, followed by a second. As the smoke cleared, several corpses lay on the ground. The brave warrior waved his hand and shouted, "Fix bayonets! Charge! Target: the cathedral!"
Gunshots rang out in Corsica. Two half-elf figures watched as one of them nodded and said, "Yes, the Corsican wave has begun. Send a message to the Red Bats."
The other elf nodded and returned to the room, where a machine was placed in the dark room and its light was on.
"Corsican A1, report, Corsican wave in progress, repeat, Corsican wave in progress."
