Chapter 228 (1/2)

Chapter 228: Meteor Strike 3

This time the subjugation of Konrad was life-saving work for Archbishop Constantine.

The competitors who were questioning the authority of the Pope and those who were challenging the position of the regent were going to silence him after the anti-revolutionary battle was done in their favor.

Because of that, Constantine constantly posted the bulletins in the city about the daily situation of the war which he came to know through the magic communication.

Since the ceremony and mess were so magnificent, none of the capital Bless’s people or the neighboring men knew anything about the battle.

Families and relatives who had a member of their participating in the army, flocked to the notice board each time any news had been posted there and placed bets on which side would win.

In the beginning, there wasn’t anything special.

The boring march had lasted more than ten days, so there was nothing worth being talked about.

And then, after entering the Konrad region, the first real battle was fought, finally!

However, it wasn’t possible to announce that nearly 10,000 casualties were lost from the 2nd squadron because of the ambush attack from the valley between the two hills.

Which was why the faction of Constantine distorted the truth by saying that ‘some soldiers were injured or killed in the midst of the enemy’s surprise attack’.

Of course, when war soldiers would come back, the truth might be out in the open, but in the current situation, it was important for them to emphasize their win over the others.

The full story had come when the army had arrived at the Eisenberg fortress.

As soon as they got to the fort, the Gigantic Duel had begun.

While it was an old fashioned custom, the term of ‘Gigantic Duel’ still attracted the interest of numerous people.

On the first day, the enemy soldiers were slightly pushed back, but on the second day, the mercenary riders won one and draw one against the Sword Masters of the enemy.

Moreover, the deceased Sword Masters weren’t just ordinary figures, but Count Schmidt, who had sacked and fled dozens of priestesses 10 years ago in Bless.

The families of the victims who still remembered the events were delighted by hearing the news that Schmidt was bombed with a Gigant.

Archbishop made sure that it was known.

So far, the rebels have been wrong about their faction, and it was because Schmidt had pressed them into the faction.

“See! Those who spoke about the denomination’s innovation was provided justice by embracing the lunatic killer. No matter how blind eye one was showing, there was righteousness for those who utter words of the God but surround themselves under the defiled name of the devil!”

Constantine condemned the act of the rebels as well as praises for Luke, who defeated Schmidt.
