Chapter 271
Roland's POV
"Hmm? You mean to follow this... is that what you're saying?"
"Yes..."
"Is the church trying to pick a fight with me? They want to take away my rights and return Kohane, huh! Kohane is the land passed down to my ancestors, the Hero Zect, and now it belongs to me."
"That's not true! Kohane is the land the Holy Church Nation offered to Hero Ceres for his enjoyment, and later handed over the ruling rights to Hero Zect."
"Well then, there should be no problem with it, the one who carries Hero Zect's blood, ruling it!"
"Certainly, that's how it seems. However, you are a criminal! Even the king can't allow such a thing!"
With those words, the man from the church threw some documents at me.
I picked them up and read through them.
"Do these prove anything? I am protected by the Hero Protection Law. There should be no problem."
"Tch! Roland, you're the Hero?! That's laughable! A madman who hurts and kills the weak... you're not worthy of calling yourself that. You're nothing but a filthy impostor!"
"This Roland is the real deal! I won't forgive even a priest... I'll kill you!"
"Excommunicate Roland! Holy knights, destroy this enemy of God!"
""""""""""Yes, sir!""""""""""
"You fools, I am the number one Hero Roland! If you lay a hand on me, the Hero Clan won't stay silent!"
"We have excommunicated anyone who opposes us after investigation. Those who admitted their guilt have been forgiven and are starting anew as ordinary believers. The rest are just you, Roland, and Martin."
"What... then I'll order my vassals to go to war! It's a war between Kohane and the Holy Church Nation!"
"That won't work... anyone who sides with you or Martin will be excommunicated. There are no more people in this country who would act on behalf of a disliked individual like you."
"You...!"
"Do you understand? Then..."
"I am Roland, the number one Hero! I am a Hero... I'll defeat all of you on my own!"
That's right. Don't underestimate me... even as I am now, I'm a Hero.
"I've had enough of your blabbering... I don't care if you want to kill... but, Holy Knights, shut him up."
""""""""""Yes, sir!""""""""""
Dealing with multiple holy knights may be a bit troublesome. But, I can do it.
"I'll take you down!"
Just a few holy knights, no match for me.
If I wanted to, I could cut them all in half with a single blow. However...
Clank...
"What...!"
"We haven't underestimated you. That's why the holy knights are equipped with mithril armor and swords... Surrender now, if you will."
"Even if I can't handle you alone, Martin will be here soon..."
"There are just as many people going after him over there. Give up."
"No, he's the man I have always hoped..."
"Is that so? Even after all this talk, you still won't surrender? As an excommunicated one... just accept your punishment."
With that, the priest left me as if abandoning me.
I won't let myself be killed...
I attacked the holy knights, clad in mithril equipment.
