Chapter 731 - Windstorm (2/2)
Sophocles the Deceiver was a veteran sche with scheht had existed On top of this, Karwenz had been personally carrying out this sche a treht after Maria’s assassination, Duke Barrot, as under Sophocles’ control, stood up and announced that he would swear to take revenge for Empress Maria It was only natural that Duke Barrot would declare war against Prince Winston and the Holy Church, ere blamed as the real culprits behind Maria’s assassination
In a way, the Chaos Faction’s priet the Holy Chuch Roland had just gotten coincidentally involved
Originally, Karwenz had intended to follow the unwritten rules of the Holy War, and not personally get involved But when he saw his older twin brother Roland here, he happily took action personally in order to give his older brother so at the overall situation, it was only natural that the Chaos Faction would want to cause trouble for the Holy Church Just like how San Antonio was too powerful, and would thus attract far too much attention, the Holy Church was basically the Chaos Faction’s 1 mortal enemy in the mortal plane Of course the Chaos Faction would want to make the Holy Church suffer
Couarding the north, the Holy Church was still the 1 most powerful faction within the Order Faction The treht believers also ht was the most undisputed powerful existence in the world, as well as an almost undefeatable existence In that case, it was only natural to first attack the source of Holy Light faith
San Antonio was one of the Holy Church’s most loyal supporters Since it was a core area of support for the Holy Church, naturally the Chaos Faction would want to get rid of this place
With two Chaos Main Gods personally arranging this sche action, even a True God would likely die Maria had no chance of survival at all
And now, the Holy Church’s position was beco ever more aard
Duke Barrot’s subordinates were noing the Holy Church as the true culprit behind their former ruler Maria’s assassination Not only that, the Holy Church’s Holy Knight squadrons and angel squadrons that they had brought along were supposed to be used against the ogres and demons in the first place, yet they all helplessly becarinder battlefields of San Antonio’s civil war This was because nobody could just sit still and let themselves be killed, after all
Duke Barrot’s faction wanted war They wanted to become the only rulers of San Antonio Prince Winston’s faction naturally couldn’t just let Duke Barrot’s faction trample over them Since neither side in this war had any desire to stop the war just yet, it would be impossible for this civil war to stop
As both sides accued with each other There would never be a true victor in this civil war to begin with
War refugees, deserters, and adventurers Countless such people ran away from the combat areas every day Countless people could be seen on the roads, trying to escape the warfare
As the civil war progressed, news about how the Holy Church was slaughtering other humans was embellished and then transed the Holy Church’s reputation as the defenders of huinally should have kept supporting the Holy Church no matter what
The Southern Sect and many other factions hostile to the Holy Church would neverunder heavier and heavier verbal attacks In addition, there was now also the recent incident where Seraphi rapidly on a daily basis
Finally, two Gods of the Holy Church appeared on the battlefield The eave mortals the fate of death, but were unable to restore the Holy Church’s reputation…
Everyone knew that at this time, it would be best for the Holy Church to withdraw and no longer involve themselves in San Antonio’s civil war However, this would be the equivalent of giving up on all of San Antonio This would also chill the hearts of other Holy Light worshi+ping countries That hy Pope Caloma was still unable to couests appeared on the edge of a battlefield
A little girl who appeared to be less than 10 years old was following a figure in a black cape They had just walked across a le drop of blood was on their bodies
“Harloys, how do you feel now that you’re an Undead Emperor?”
“Absolutely terrible I’ve never felt before that there’s still such a long path in front oftrouble keeping up withbody I really wanted to help out, and I offered to let her stay on my head just like how she always did in the past, but she was unwilling to for soed, and didn’t insist
Compared to her power levels, Harloys hadthe next power level She had failed several ti the process She took two entireup
Another s up was that after her physical body evolved, even though she still had cloning and transforer than before, her true body was forced to maintain its real for Level 4 power level Although you would becoe, appearance, body shape, and so on would become relatively fixed
Harloys had a lot of clothes ically stashed away She looked quite cute in her lace princess dress However, she constantly tripped and fell while walking Without usinght now, Harloys was panting heavily I definitely didn’t see how she could carry s than before made her quite frustrated
It was quite clear that it would beon top of inal method of travel for some reason unknown to me This meant that our already slow journey beca I wonder if the Northlands are alright?”
“Yes, everything’s fine there Winter has already ended Everyone’s working hard to plant seeds during the spring The new seeds look quite good…”
A great benefit to having Harloys along was that her clones were the best information sources around I was able to receive constant updates on as happening in the Northlands
In the past, there was a limit to the distance her clones could leave her for This power of hers seeh
I felt slightlythis about the Northlands
San Antonio in the southwest of Eich was locked in bitter battle Yet, the Northlands’ situation was far better than I expected
Since a lot of the Holy Church’s attention and strength was now concentrated on the battles here, they naturally didn’t haveanymore In fact, they were probably worried about the Mist Alliance wanting revenge The overall situation wasn’t good for them, so their Divine Northern Battlefront Alliance stopped their anti-Mist activities as well for the ti
In a way, the Holy Church still owed me It was a fact that they had just tried to surround and assassinate ically speaking, I should have casually assassinated one or two of the Holy Church’s higher-ups for fun, or at least give the me would require them to pay the price
However, with the current situation, taking revenge on the Holy Church would be the equivalent of helping the Chaos Faction It wasn’t at all ainst others, but I felt rather conflicted about how taking revenge here would helpover the past days, but in the end, I decided to record this grudge inabout it for the ti
“You don’t intend to join in and have some fun?”
Harloys was quite casual with her question Ever since she achieved Level 4 rank, she actually seenified the end of her hate For the current Harloys, as long as the Elven Empire and Mist Alliance didn’t collapse, and they developed properly, she indeed had the right to enjoy her free tioals She was feeling no psychological pressure at all Even while on the battlefield, she kept searching for wonderful foods and beautiful scenes, having lots of fun It was as if she was on a vacation every day
However, it was absolutely correct that Harloys was definitely able to carry h many difficult battles now that she had successfully beca so much Since she was my personal bound equipment, this really was an excellent deal for lanced over at the battlefield in the distance Myat the sky This could onlyon both sides of the battle was ridiculously strong
“Even True Gods have gotten involved They’ll probably self-destruct if they lose I don’t want to get involved at all” I shookadvice
Right now, San Antonio was the focus of not just the entire world, but also many different dimensions And unlike before, it was possible that all sorts of veteran Gods would personally descend
No els, human-wave-tactics, a True God, De themself, or all sorts of forbidden spells, techniques, and coerous It really would be hu like that and couldn’t make my way out
Basically, San Antonio was now the frontline of battle for the entire mortal plane I only had myself, a sword, and a cat… I definitely wasn’t that suicidal to want to fight with only a young girl to defend me
“They have their civil war, and we also have our own matters to deal with This matter of Chaos Girls definitely isn’t so simple There’s also Karwenz and Elisa…”
“Then shall we return to the Northlands? Orto the Mage Country But, before we leave San Antonio, I want to go talk to a certain person”
“Who? Prince Winston?”
“No, there’s noto him anymore He’s in a situation that’s out of his control He has to fight in this civil war even if he doesn’t want to What he actually thinks is completely irrelevant Who I want to talk to is… Pope Caloma”
