In just a few days, Rojh and co. arrived at the Steel Fortress where the criminals from the neighboring countries will destroy.
With his title, Rojh took charge of the matters within the fortress upon arrival.
"All of you are to rest today. We don't know the exact date of when they will attack so be sure to take plenty of rest so that you will all be able to exhibit your full potential on the field!"
"Understood, your highness!" The soldiers said in unison as they saluted to Rojh.
...
"There doesn't seem to be anything different here"
After taking a 'stroll' in and out of the fortress Rojh and Finn did not find any kind of bomb that may have been set up in advanced or a spy for the criminals.
"You should not be eating while working, your eminence"
"I got permission to do so as long as I do my job, Duke"
Although the two were surveying the fortress, the two did not get along well.
As if water and oil, the moment the two met each other they instinctively felt disgust from the other.
A meticulous individual who likes to have everything under his control and a free spirited, carefree pope who loves to eat whenever he gets the chance.
Truly, a match made in hell.
The next few days was then spent on the training of the soldiers and making traps to the possible escape routes of the criminals.
Boo~n.
A war horn was blew which echoed through the entire place.
A thousand wanted criminals and former mercinaries laugh and howled at the sight of the fortress that they will be destroying.
"Let's show the weakest race that they shouldn't have bothered making a kingdom of their own!!!"
"Aaah!"
With the half human half beast man at the lead, the rest followed as they raised their weapons for the upcoming battle.
"Duke, lead the way. I will support you all from the back and make sure that there will be zero casualty"
For once, Rojh did not hesitate and trusted Finn who wore a serious and bloodlusted expression, the exact opposite of his usual bright smiley face.
'Your grace, we will now be fighting with the criminals'
-Go do your best. Do so and I will personally cook you something you've never tasted before.
With his telepathic skill, Finn got words of encouragement just before the battle.
Swoosh.
The soldiers behind were in awe as they saw their new pope, Finn flying in the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Some of the criminals and mercenaries who stepped on the explosive traps immediately died.
However, they did not lose momentum and simply shrug the fact that their enemy knew beforehand about their attack.
Knowing this, none of them stopped as most of them only cared about destroying things as they take pleasure from doing so.
"Everyone! Let's show them the power of the weakest race!!!"
The slime soldiers marched forward with Rojh at the forefront.
"Wizards! Fire!"
Using their natural weakness, the wizards at the back fired long ranged magic projectiles.
Swoosh.
Finn flew straight forward.
"Huh?"
As Finn got closer, the magic they fired disappeared instantaneously.
With his
The two sides collided as they engage in melee combat.
Rojh sliced his enemies as if he was using a hot knife against butter.
With his skill
The leader of the criminals, the half human half beast man died almost immediately without even being able to last ten seconds against Rojh.
"FIRE!!!" Yelled by the vice commander.
This time, ballistas were created. The back lines then fired trees and giant arrows towards the front, disregarding their own members.
Swoosh.
The trees and the arrows' trajectory changed just in time, which only hit the enemies.
"I'm sorry but... can you all please die for me. I still have some mouthwatering meal waiting for me back in the palace you see"
Finn said right before releasing a sound based attack that ruptured their organs from the inside out.
After a few more minutes, the rest of the attackers who were only mercenaries dragged into the fight surrendered, ending the battle.
"Wooooh!!!"
The slime soldiers cheered for their victory.
"Long live Duke Rojh! Long live Pope Finn!"
The soldiers cheered at the two who contributed the most in the battle.
With Finn neutralizing every magic spell and changing the trajectory of all physical projectiles and Rojh who took down most of the attackers, received cheers from the soldiers as this if the first time in a long time that they emerged victorious with no casualty.
