When the Dispensing Pharmacy Guild Master, Pierre had reached the possibility of pest victims, the sixth quarantine station which was set up in front of the sixth wall gates was blown away by divine arts.


    Enemy attack!! Close the gates!!!


    The gate guard shouted, the gates closed and the drawbridge was about to be raised, but failed. Even though portcullis was dropped, the water attributed holy knight created a boulder size ice block blocking the shutters, and entered through the gates by sliding. Although the five holy knights were infected by the ck gue it seems like they have considerable skills, the armored knights that tried to block they were were blown away by wind arts, crashing into the walls to their deaths. The amount of their divine powers and proficiency as a unit could be distinguished as royal guards of the kingdom.


    These guys, theyre strong!


    The imperial capitals guardsmen held their gun, San Flueves holy knights pulled out their staff, and casts their divine techniques with each of their attributes ording tomand.


    Ready! First squad, fire!


    Although the musket squad fires from above the gate, an ice wall was created and could not hit them.


    Second squad, fire!


    Actually, bullets and shells cannot pierce even through normal ice, so the thin ice created by an advanced divine arts user has enough defense.


    Damn it, a high tier water attribute huh!


    Three of Nedale Kingdoms holy knights have finally brought in a covered cage within the castle gates, and when they opened the cages, a horde of small white critters was released to the imperial capital. Half of them have died unable to endure the ck gue, but those who had survived has scattered in the capitals market very quickly.


    The squirrel, it flew?!


    People screamed because of the unexpected movements of the squirrel.


    Some of them climbed up the gutter, and flew away, jumping from roof to roof.


    The Nedale Kingdoms merchants said that they were white squirrels, but they flying squirrels. Flying squirrels are also rodents. The first item to be sold in San Flueves Market is fabric.


    When the fleas of the flying squirrel infected by the pest enter them, it quickly bes a medium of infection.


    This is bad, emergency!! Close the second gates!


    The imperial capital is a vast fortified city, and although it is not as clearly separated as it was with a castle town, the administrative area where emperors, nobles, and military personnel live is clearly divided from themon area wheremoners live. There are nobles who has their dwellings in the suburbs, but themilitary personnel lives in the imperial capitals administrative area. From the standpoint of defense, the alleys are purposely created in an echelon shape so that every ce could be observed. Even if the first gates in the outeryer were broken through, the second gates would block the enemys path.


    The second gates leading to the court and administrative are were immediately shut down.


    Enter your houses and close the doors! Dont let the infected squirrels go inside!


    Signal fireworks that are used to announce enemy attack wereunched to the sky from the towers in the sixth gate, and the court of San Flueve Empire and the Imperial Capital Land Army was informed immediately. The watchmen of bell towers in various parts of the imperial capital began to ring the rm bell loudly.


    As soon as the rm bell rang, all of the stores within the imperial capital closed their doors, and people started to hide inside the stores. It was arranged that passerby and beggars would also hide inside the stores. The people moved quickly to evacuate.


    Damn it!!!


    Guild Master Pierre who crawled out under the destroyed quarantine station tent opened the medicine box that he had kept very carefully although he was full of wounds.


    Its now!


    The time to open the divided special medicine, sparfloxacin hase.


    Falma had said.


    No matter what color their blood is or what their status is, even if they are prisoners, give all of the patients that are still alive equally. If even one of them were not treated, or if those infected were allowed to move freely, they would be mediums and scatter the ck gue.


    All of you! Everyone! First! Drink the medicine!


    Pierre shouted at all of those in his surroundings.


    He gave all of them medicine, the gate guard, the crowd, the merchants, he soaks a brush in the ink-pot in his tool box, and marked everyones cheeks with ink. It is an unerasable ink that was supplied by Falma, and would identify those who are infected. And all of those who are marked must be taken to the quarantine zone.


    Make a wall of ice using divine arts here! Its a defense so that it would not spread more than this!


    Pierre gavemands to the divine arts user, and creates istion measures ording to the manual.


    He fixed the defensive line that was destroyed once again.


    Rather than the enemy attack, the infiltration of the ck gue is the one that must be stopped. It is an enemy far more frightening than a human enemy. ording to what Falma expects, if even one of the people in the imperial capital were infected, 60% of those who were in the imperial capital would die.


    Dont get beaten by something like the ck gue! We will survive!


    That was the shout of Pierres soul.


    Most of the rats and fleas that would be a medium of the pest within the imperial capital were exterminated. The people have also started to be hygienic. That is why, the interior of the imperial capital is the cleanest in the world if it ispared to other cities.


    The residents washes their hands, gargles, and masks were also distributed. The ck gue would not spread so easily. The spread of infection must not be allowed. But even so, it is a terrible epidemic.


    Were now in the critical point! Hurry up and do the countermeasures!


    Pierre used the medicine unsparingly, and medicine for 91 people was consumed in the sixth quarantine station.


    The medicine would not be enough, stop it to the minimum!


    Pierre did not forget to drink the medicine himself, and wore a gas mask-like equipment.


    The porters of the Nedale Kingdom that were left behind outside the castle gates took advantage of the confusion, they threw away their luggage, and tries to escape to where they came from.


    Stop right there!


    However, the Temples first chasing unit that had departed from Esthark has caught up and stopped them in their tracks.


    The merchants whose escape route were blocked by horses makes frightened expressions.


    Hii, save me!!


    Surrender you damn smugglers!! Surrender and I shall give you your life, however, if you would not, we shall kill you without mercy!


    The priests voice was firm and determined. The merchants who were terrified and kneels to the ground were captured, but a few merchants who have lost their reason due to being infected by the ck gue raises their voices and swings their knives, only to be killed by the priests. The doctrine of the temple is to condemn sinners but save those who repent.


    All of them have a high fever, so the merchants who surrendered were given medicine and immediately isted by the priests, and the luggage that they had were burned together with the corpses of the merchants who had resisted.


    Move!!! Open the way!!


    The holy knights of the Empiresnd army and the Imperial Guards directly under the Empress had arrived, eager to take down Nedale Kingdoms holy knights that had invaded through the castle gates.


    Theyunched a pre-emptive attack while riding horses towards Nedale Kingdoms holy knights.


    Scorching Combustion Enfer de brlure


    The fiery red mes attacked the elites of Nedale Kingdom and their surroundings were covered with fire pirs. The mes of the divine arts entangled the attack target.


    Wind BarrierBarrire van wind


    Negating that with a wind divine technique, the invaders delivers a counterattack.


    Both sides fought with death just by their side without stepping back. The Empires order of knights also gave their all, shooting great divine techniques without thinking of the damages inside the city.


    With the Empires pride on the line, they must take down Nedale Kingdoms holy knights.


    However, being cornered, surrounded by the Empires army at all sides, Nedale Kingdoms holy knights had prepared for their death, and tries theirst resistance. And,


    Raging Windstorm Storm van woede


    Nedale Kingdoms holy knights released all of the flying squirrels in the cages, and all of the wind attributed holy knights releases a wind great divine art towards the remaining carcass. The rotting carcass of the flying squirrels flew far up in the sky.


    A st of wind with the pest bacteria blows through the imperial capital. The st of wind broke the doors and windows of the houses and the wind entered the house. A merchantpany copses to the ground.


    It looks like they nned on fanning a st of wind, infecting the whole imperial capital with the pest.


    Cleansing Wind Vent de purge


    Purification of the Land Purification de terre


    The order of knights from the temple area of San Flueve imperial capital who werete had counterattacked with wind attributed and earth attributed purification divine arts with Head Priest Salomonsmand. The wind full of divine powers bellows, creating a whirlwind. The imperial capitals alley, spanning several tens of meters, became a purifiednd that wards off epidemic.


    Thou shall not use the art of the gods. Thou shall be deprived of your divine pulse!


    They were convicted by Head Priest Salomons dauntless voice.


    The privilege of the temple. That is, the privilege that presides over the opening and closing of the divine pulse of divine arts users. It is a secret technique only to be passed to the head priests of the parish, and although the divine pulse cannot be closed if they do not know the targets name, it is possible to one-sidedly disenable a targets divine arts with a simplified method. Divine arts users whose divine pulse were closed will be ordinarymoners.


    Ohh!!


    The armed priests forms a formation, and encloses the holy knights.


    The Head Priest started the long chants for severing the divine pulse. And seeing that, Nedale Kingdoms holy knights attacks the Head Priest. But in return, the temples elite troops and the Empires order of knights covered the Head Priests incantation.


    Imprisoning mes Prison de mme


    The Empires Imperial Guards high-tier me divine arts user activated a great divine technique and surrounded Nedale Kingdoms holy knights with a wall of mes.


    Drought of the Holy Spring Fermez le Puits sacr


    Head Priest Salomons secret technique waspleted.


    The ring of light that was shot from the staff attacks the invaders and were absorbed into their body. And countless ice arrows pouring down to them as if to follow it.


    The invaders that lost their divine arts could not defend, and were pierced through.


    One of the holy knight who advanced the ck gue the most, tragically fell down to the ground, and took hisst breath.


    The mes created by the firewalls devoured the corpses, burning them not leaving a bone intact.
