Versatile: Alternate World-Chapter 667 March Of Rebellion
With the last battle ending up in our win, the final preparations have finally reached their end, and we now are ready for the war. Everyone is fully equipped, and the fort is now ready for any enemies that come invading while we are going to the Church to face the pope.
Sigma and Harmless Sparrow are the ones leading a few of the battalions while the rest are support. Unlike the previous timeline where the rebels split up their forces to invade, I made a suggestion that instead of invading, we just go and defeat the people involved instead of involving the populace. Since the main enemy is the pope, the only main reason we are heading there is to defeat the Pope without the need of occupying the city. We could just focus all our time and effort on the attack on the church.
We obtained the prompt of help that the dragon will provide. He gave me a flute that his former master uses to call for him. Now, he is keeping it safekeeping and since it is the only thing he can hear in the wind regardless of the distance, this is the only way we can call him. It would have been fine if I keep this for myself but this is just a borrowed item, once the quest is done, I have to return it to the dragon after the event unless he, unfortunately, dies here. But hey, I want to change the future and that is one of the things I am set to do right now.
Alain is now ready too, wearing the armor that he kept on polishing but never used alongside his trusty weapon. He might not look like a knight, but he is more of a commander, ready to lead his people. The moment he stepped out, everyone started cheering for him.
"Today marks the day the final battle will begin. The oppression of the higher authorities will soon end and exposing what they were doing behind the populace's back will also be revealed as well. This is our little rebellion, that has been sparked since the atrocities the people who are in power decided to abuse their authority and test the limits of what they can do, involving and wasting many innocent lives in the process.
"We might not be saviors the Luminous Continent is looking for but we are the liberators that will clean up the filth. Together, we will make sure those rotten bastards will feel the pain of our loss and grief! We might be small in numbers, but that doesn't matter. No matter how small we might be, we will make sure that these people who deserved to be punished, should know the true meaning of Divine Retribution."
Cheers erupted among the populace after Alain's speech. Compared to the speech of the previous timeline's anti-rebels, perhaps the true ending would have been to side with the rebels, but because the rebels lost, the situation was reversed instead, making the holy ground tainted.
After all, the Rebels are not the ones who will handle the change, we will just liberate and show everyone what the people they are worshiping and interacting with are doing when they are not in their Holy Robes to show compassion and little kindness.
And so, we started marching. The city of the clouds is the same city where we all started to arrive as Pioneers tasked to remove the cult, and here we are, back to the roots, but this time, we are not in friendly relations with the people there, we are instead going to be exposing the church's wrongdoings.
Despite calling it a march, we are not walking but instead, we are flying up in the sky to traverse the lands and reach the City of the Clouds. With so many of us flying high in the sky, there is no way the people of the City of the Clouds won't notice us, especially the angel battalions, after all, they are the angels that defend the place.
Compared to walking, flying was much faster and we are not even tired since we easily speed up our flight speed it didn't take us too long to arrive at our destination where the soldiers who are stationed immediately spotted us.
"We are under attack! Soldiers! Prepare your weapons and repel the invaders!"
Sigma smiled seeing the number of soldiers who are caught unprepared for the attack.
"FIRE!" Sigma shouted and as she did, Leoran took the front position followed by several others holding their bows and arrows before a rain of it came falling down to the angels who were still gathering themselves, unprepared for our attacks. Screams of pain started to echo in our ears as we successfully pass through the gates of the City of the Clouds.
The moment we did pass through, we retract our wings and landed to continue on foot. Although many of the angel soldiers were scattered on the ground, none of them are dead. Due to the effect of my Alchemy potions, I managed to procure some liquids that don't have any effects when drank or splashed on the body. However, if they are tipped by a blunt arrow, if fired at a living target, the target will experience severe pain in their bodies that will temporarily knock them down to unconsciousness and leave them in a sort of "death state". They are not dead, but they will think they are "dead".
Once the soldiers are out of the question, we continue our march inside the city. The NPCs and the people who are just outside started panicking as they started leaving. After all, even though they are angels, most of them are not able to fight so all they can do is flee. And as the civilians flee, the soldiers arrived but this time, they are soldiers who are directly in command of the church.
The ones who do not deserve the "fake death" treatment,
"Filthy rebels! You all dared to defy the pope? You all shall die here!"
Harmless Sparrow grinned as she pulled out her sword. "Thank goodness, finally, I don't need to hold back from spilling blood. Come!"
