Right after that, a massive explosion occurred from the mana stone box made into a time bomb.
Five minutes before the time bomb went off.
The Sky Bandits succeeded in occupying the cargo ship and cheered.
“Y-you dirty sky bandit bastards.
Do you even know what kind of cargo ship this is.”
The captain of the cargo ship asked, having become a Bloody Mess.
The boss of the Flying Bandit Group, Raika, smirked.
“Hehe.
Must be transporting expensive cargo?
Seeing as there are so many Guard Forces, yet it was flying quickly off the regular route.”
“You rootless bastards…!”
Slash!
Raika killed the captain with his sword.
The Sky Bandits burst into wicked laughter.
And Raika looked at the other survivors.
“Hiiik…”
“Oh, God of Light…”
The Clerics, including Diana, had done a boarding of the airship for the escort and handover of the sacrifice.
If they could activate a Divine Miracle, they wouldn’t lose even to Bandits, but they had suffered a Surprise Attack and had their holy relics taken.
The Clerics of This World were on the rather weak side compared to other Adventuring Professions.
“Boss.
What should we do with these Clerics?”
“Ah, it’s bad luck to kill them in advance, so don’t kill them.
Tie them up well.”
“Hehe.
You’re going to crash them along with the airship?”
“Exactly.”
After stealing everything of value and transferring to their own airship, the plan was to crash this airship and leave them all to die.
And Raika approached Diana with a despicable smile.
“It’s just a bit bothersome that there are so many Clerics on a cargo ship.
Tell me what the reason is.”
Raika asked, but Diana did not answer.
Raika giggled.
“Could there be a noble or something you have to escort hiding here?”
“Ptooey!”
Diana spat in Raika’s face.
Raika giggled.
“You’re a cleric bitch with quite some guts.”
Whack!
Thump!
He struck the back of her head and knocked her out.
Then Raika searched the dead captain’s pockets and pulled out a bunch of keys.
“Alright, a few of you stay behind and keep surveillance on these guys!
And you, head to the cockpit for now and set it to auto-flight!”
“It’s already running, boss!”
“Good!
Then the rest of us, let’s go to the special Cargo hold!”
“Yes!
Boss!”
Rumble…!
Since they had already killed anyone in their way, corpses were lined up everywhere.
“By the way, boss.
The security was indeed tight.”
“Hmm… The damage to Our Side isn’t small either.”
“Are they really escorting some major player?”
“Hehe.
We can just check from now on.”
The boss stood in front of the cargo hold door as if to show off, and inserted the stolen key into the lock.
At that moment.
“Kuaaagh!!”
Someone screamed from inside the cargo hold.
