As the Automaton dropped to a knee, she looked at the Ghost.
Sir?
What's wrong Constitution?
Servos in my left arm, damaged, but operable.
Alright, then what's wrong?
I want to make them pay...
Make who pay?
That damn church.
The Ghost nodded and smiled.
You leave all that to me. Just focus on keeping people safe.
Why must I yield to you?
You might be sentient, but you lack the experience to make sense of what that feeling is. Give it time, and I'll yield that to you. For now, leave that to me.
Meanwhile, the Head Bishop of the Church of Humanity had come to pay Ashfeld a visit. To his surprise they were marching thousands of soldiers and knights around. They were on their way to the border to finish the fight they'd previously lost. The soldiers of New Ottawa were wearing new armor that had better military application.
You did you manage this, Sin of Pride?
Thanks to Logan, we rigged up new armors using old armor that we had in storage. We'll put these lesser being back in their rightful place beneath us.
Excellent, make them fear what humanity.
As the soldiers and knights left the Kingdom, Golems and Trolls followed behind them, all in the great plans of the Church.
As word reached the Ghost of the sheer numbers on their way to smite the Beastmen, he informed the Beastmen counsel. The agreed to flee this fight.
Inferno.
Yes Ghost?
You, myself and the 451st will guard our rear. We know their intentions, we can't let the kill even one of the Beastmen.
Ghost, if it come down to a firefight, we won't hesitate to kill our own. Even though we've been around them for years now, they betrayed you and betrayed us. We were all supposed to ride this out without fear of Rothschild copycats. Now here we are.
As much as I don't want to believe Pat and the others would willingly betray me, I have no other idea as to how they'd...
SIR GHOST! Enemies marching to meet us!
Inferno, get the 451st up front. Shields up, flames at the ready.
As the Ghost made it to the front of the convoy, Bubba had come out to greet him.
Bubba, don't do this.
Ghost, you're a traitor to the Crown and a traitor to New Ottawa. Protecting such filth is beneath you. Surrender and you will be spared.
Bubba, you know better than most I have no intention of surrendering.
Then you have chosen death. See to it he dies here. Open fire once I'm clear.
The Beastmen convoy was halted and the citizen frozen in fear as the 451st took the brunt of the gunfire.
GHOST WE CAN'T SIT HERE FOREVER!
The Ghost didn't reply, he simply walked past the Beastmen and stepped into the path of the enemy soldiers.
THE BEASTMEN ARE UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THE GHOST, AND THE PROTECTION OF DEMON LORD KAZUTO! STAND DOWN OR I WILL BE FORCED TO ATTACK YOU!
The Gunfire and arrows didn't let up. The Ghost looked back at his crew, many of the people from New Ottawa weren't keen on killing their friends. This wasn't like the simulation where the National Guard had forced them to fight back. These were their families and friends trying to kill them.
With a sigh, the Ghost fired his engines at the soldiers blowing a section of them down. Activating his chain gun, he pointed it at the army in his way. They can hate me later, right now, I must get these people to safety.
The Ghost opened fire, riddling everyone in front of him with bullet holes. Once there was a hole, the Ghost rushed to the center and began knocking people out. He was physically stronger than everyone in the unit, but he took no joy hurting them. As the Ghost made his way to the back, he found two mages of the Church of Humanity.
So, the spineless church has found a way to control our friends have they.
It was ea...
SILENCE YOU FOOL.
The Ghost's eyes blazed red as he grabbed the two mages by the faces and planted them into the ground.
Good luck controlling me. I'll kill every last one of you spineless cowards.
Blood pooled at his feet as he stood over the two dead mages.
