20 years had passed when I woke up! ~ The villain's daughter’s thereafter and after that ~ - Chapter 39

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

The name of the new church would simply be called “Reformed Monado”.

Fioria really wanted to name it Monamona but she was opposed by everyone around her so it was rejected.

“I wonder why? It is so cute”

“Uh Fioria, it’s not as long as it’s cute then it’s ok you know. Please listen to the old ladies”

The former cardinal Seela calmly told Fioria off.

Her current position is now a patriarch, the first generation.

She is the actual head of the church regarding duties and daily affairs.

“But the name “Reformed Monado” is still not widespread.”

“As expected it should’ve been Monamona Church. Wait, Monyamonya is also…”

“Right right…”

Seela has already long ago given up on Fioria’s naming sense.

As expected, an apple does not fall far from the tree.

Seela was the best friend (rival) of Fioria’s mother, Flora.

Flora was special in her own way, at the beginning, she tried to name her own daughter “my beloved daughter” or “missus lady”, etc.

Seela hurriedly stopped her and thought of the name Fioria.

“I told you before but you can’t think of your child’s name by yourself.”

“I don’t get it, why?”

Fioria tilted her head looking puzzled.

“Well… let’s leave that story for another time. Seela, for the time being, can I get you to please look after the government? I think it’s time for me to go and finish off Beatrice.”

Year 1096, Winter.

The announcement of crusades for the Reformed Monado Church.

With Pope Fioria as the supreme commander, the crusaders started the 14th expedition towards the Black Forest.

This time was the same, a massive stampede of magic beasts appeared in the Black Forest.

The last crusade, the 13th crusade was crushed and beaten back by this stampede.

But this time it was different.

“Everyone, get ready. I will protect you all. Without rush, aim carefully”

The soldiers in battle formation were from Lord Florence’s fiefdom.

In their hands, there are no swords, spears, axes, or even bows.

But to say that they are magic casters, that’s also wrong.

They all have a small thin pipe equipped.

Fioria did not only take printing technology from the East.

Astronomy and compass.

Medicine, pharmacy, chemistry, and… gun powder.

And so, guns.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

A driving noise echoed everywhere.

A tiny magic circle floated above the muzzle and focused mana.

20 years ago, Fioria ordered this new weapon to be developed.

The technicians of Lord Florance spent a lot of time modifying the Eastern guns and make it a reality. 

A type of out of place artifact that was born from a few scientific leaps.

The Type 96 Magical Pistol “Batabata” (Fioria named it).

“Fire”

The soldiers were stationed on the plains just outside of the Black Forest.

On the other side of the trees where the deep darkness was sealed away, hundreds, thousands of magic beasts flew out.

Slimes, goblins, kobolds, orcs, ogre, trolls, cyclops, harpy, Dark Scorpion, Giant Bee, manticore, cockatrice, basilisk, Griffon, Hydra, Centaur, Minotaur, Worm, Cerberus, Orthrus, Hræsvelgr, Unicorn, Bicorn, Matango…

No matter what kind of beast, with no distinctions made, were sent to hell.

Exposed to the rain of merciless bullets, the beasts fell to the ground as if they were melting.

The magical pistol has no reload time.

It uses magic stones for its power source and fired magic bullets on full auto.

“I don’t even need to make a move.”

Half a day has not even passed and the battle has ended.

Of course, ended as the Crusader’s victory.

Without losing a single soldier, they killed all the magic beasts.

Without saying, this is a massive historical feat.

“Seriously? That was too easy!”

“Were these beasts that weak?”

The soldiers were in awestruck.

To them, the existence of these beasts struck fear into them. “The Stampede” is like a natural disaster that you cannot even try to fight against. And yet, these beasts were overcome so easily.

“To be honest, I thought that these magic pistols were just a little hobby for Her Holiness Fioria”

“Me too, but this is amazing.”

“It’s amazing how Pope Fioria thought of this.”

“Yeah, all hail Pope Fioria. In the name of the golden goddess!”

“All hail! Please step on me!” “Me too” “Me too” “I will work hard so please scold me!”

The soldiers sing in triumph (a few aside).

Fioria nodded to the soldiers while showing her next move.

“Please occupy this area as the area of operations for the Florence army. If the Coalition attacks us from behind, welcome them with a volley of bullets. The archangels will clean up the corpses of the magic beasts. Make sure you purify the place as well.”

“Well then let’s go Mofumofu.”

“Understood, we shall leave the Black Forest to the troops”

The composition of this crusade was on a level never seen before.

With the Pope Fioria as the supreme commander, 4500 troops from the Florence Army, 99 Fenrirs, Mofumofu, and 3000 archangels.

And along with Lex, Higel, Wayald under her direct command as bodyguards.

If it’s just numbers, it’s the least it’s ever been compared to previous crusades but it is the most powerful by far.

In terms of popular support, it is also the most popularly supported by far.

Reason being? The Pope herself is standing on the frontlines leading the army of archangels to conquer the Black Forest.

It was a situation like from the legends.

The people, unable to contain their excitement, converted to the Reformed Monado faith.

With this as the finishing blow, the old faith was completely eradicated from the continent.

“No way!”

In the deepest part of the forest, Beatrice turned pale.

This “Stampede” was actually artificially started.

To turn the tables on Fioria, Beatrice interfered with the Black Forest and started it.

“Wait. What’s is going on?”

The witch Beatrice could not comprehend what was happening.

Despite having over tens of thousands of beasts to stop Fioria, they couldn’t even stop her for a moment.

“No way… I won’t be able to complete the ritual at this rate.”

2 months had passed since she had faced Fioria.

During that time Beatrice did not just quiver in fear.

She was preparing for a ritual that can be called a compilation of 3 centuries.

The summoning of a god.

The older brother of the god of creation, Mona. An old god sealed in ancient times.

Her plan was that she will defeat Fioria with the terrible power of this god.

Type 96 Magic Pistol

A gun driven with light magic.

If charged with magic stones, it can shoot magic bullets semi-permanently. 

Furthermore, the only person who can control light magic on the Belgaria continent was Fioria.
