Chapter 3: Offensive Defense

On the western frontier of Emelia was the fortified city of Garlaige, and the region around it was commonly called Gio Nest. This was an area of gentle sloping hills previously designated “Taboo Duo,” which had been unsealed after Sol’s group had killed its boss, Cerberus. This was where the Panhuman League Army, headed by the Holy Church and Istekario, was facing the army of Emelia, which had sided with Sol. The two were a trigger hair away from starting the Oratorio Tangram.

At the same time, two thousand fully armed cavalry were standing by far away in an abandoned village in the small kingdom of Hykalion on Emelia’s eastern border. No effort had been made to hide their affiliation. In fact, not only were they and their horses wearing their official armor, they had even brought their banners. Their mission was to invade the bountiful kingdom of Emelia during the commotion of the Oratorio Tangram and plunder the unprotected villages near the border. The soldiers’ feelings about this aside, the king of Hykalion and his ministers didn’t seem to think the act reprehensible enough to merit hiding their army’s identity.

This was informed in part by the Church’s declaration that all attacks launched against Emelia during the Oratorio Tangram were vindicated by God. As both a guarantee and to monitor the situation, the Church had dispatched a hundred Temple Knights to accompany Hykalion’s force. Though small in number, they carried weapons of lost technology issued by Pope Gregorio IX, which made them more powerful than even two thousand cavalry.

The soldiers here fully understood the tragedy that would soon befall the citizens of Emelia, which surely had no choice but to focus all its attention on the Oratorio Tangram. The Church had every intention of wiping out the nation and carving up its expansive territory and rights along with the three remaining superpowers. They certainly weren’t going to give away parts of this endless fountain of wealth to the surrounding small and mid-sized countries no matter how loud those lesser kingdoms clamored, but direct neighbors letting off a bit of steam could be overlooked.

In other words, not only was plundering of the villages close to Emelia’s borders tacitly allowed, it was even recommended. Since Emelia had chosen to side with Sol, who had been branded an enemy of God, its citizens were enemies too and therefore no longer human. They were sinners with no rights, and pious believers should not hesitate to kill them. Nothing done to them would be condemned by God, because they were only something evil in human form. Also, being such dreadful sinners, they had no right to their wealth. As such, if a vanguard of God happened to find their possessions in his bags upon going home, it didn’t count as plundering.

That was how license given by a religious authority turned armies, which were fundamentally designed to inflict violence, into mindless man-eating fiends whose actions would cast a curse on generations to come. War
