Dragon Poor

231. Monocentric (2)

The war with the Demon King rocked the foundation of many centrally-based kingdoms.

Among them, Holy Father Astoria suffered enormous damage, including the assassination of the Pope, before the war began.

After the war, he had to bring in priests and temple knights from all over the continent to support the front lines of the kingdoms that were vulnerable to Magi, and the burden was immense in the history of the church.

Ironically, however, the more the burden of the church, the stronger the number of the church.

It is because Divine Power was the only elixir to purify the earth and people contaminated by Magi.

Using this as leverage, the church improved the qualities of the central kingdoms. Each of the kingdoms was filled with friendly members of the church and built a temple in the middle of an urgent war to ensure that there was no place within the kingdom where the influence of the church was not affected.

Each kingdom filled with Christian people who were close to the depths of power was quickly undergoing the enslavement of the church, and people became more faithful than ever knowing that there was a devil.

Of course, the price the State had to pay for all of this was unimaginable. The goods of the temple that had accumulated throughout the league were consumed tremendously, and the damage of the priests who were stationed on the front was getting worse every day.

If the war continues like this, the Church will be forced to collapse because it will not be able to handle the human resources consumed.

Nevertheless, the Church did not stop supporting other kingdoms. Rather, they even took power from the front of their home country and sent support to the other front.

Everything was an investment in the future.

The martyrdom of faithful knights and priests was the foundation of the holy age that would come after the war.

It was no longer a dream that the whole continent, which had been so remembered by the Church, would become a holy land of God.

If there was only one concern, it was a practical void of power that would weaken after the war.

However, there was a way to make up for such human consumption all at once. It was the Queisha clan, a thousand men led by a ferryman from the west.

Fairies each with the power of a superior knight were a great way to solve the problems of the Church at once.

Unfortunately, the Queishas had an owner. It was also the Kingdom of Adenberg that emerged as the most powerful kingdom in the East.

Adenberg was a difficult opponent for the Church, a weak member of the congregation, even in the east with the powerful authority of the rulers of the realm.

Moreover, the timing was not good.

The support of the Eastern Kingdoms was one of the greatest forces supporting the Middle Kingdom, given that the entire Middle Kingdom was at full power during the war with the Demon King.

And Adenberg was the oath of an alliance that encompassed the entire Eastern Kingdom.

The most difficult opponent is now the boss you need to see.

The situation of the Queisha's migration cannot be easily tripped even in the cause of Silly, and I felt overwhelmed as I watched the Queisha entering the territory with my bare feet as they headed towards Adenberg.

It was Benedict, Archbishop of the Panteia Outpost.

From the point of view of the church, it was not too hard to do things by stabbing and looking at things that couldn't be eaten. Even if things failed, it was enough to pin everything on the leader who did it.

It was a plan with nothing to lose.

Benedict's disagreement with the warrior who has become the most important figure in the church has always been a tendency to tighten even when in doubt.

Even the general manager of the base, which had a great army, was suddenly the front line of the parish.

If only one of them could absorb the Queishas at the expense of such a man, there would be no more business left.

[Archbishop Benedict, failed to preach the cause of the Church to the previous winner. In the process, the winner of the plot was in a state of great aggravation. requires prompt follow-up.]

But again, Benedict failed.

He was not as powerful as greed in the first place, so nothing disappointed him.

“Even the legendary hero of the Everlasting Life was not a vessel to measure the great will of God. ”

“It is unfortunate that humans cannot come together in a situation where we have to worry about the well-being of the continent. ”

“If the teachings of God had been preached in the whole world, none of this would have happened, because we lacked them. ”

The archbishops of the central parish, with their tongues closed, quickly changed their faces and discussed what would come next.

“I feel sorry for Archbishop Benedict, by the way. ”

“Faith is proclaimed, but its enthusiasm is constantly expressed in the wrong direction, so you have to excuse the warrior and the war hero. ”

"We need to do what we can before Archbishop Benedict does something 'arbitrary’ again. We should also inform the monarchs that this is not the intention of the whole church, so that there will be no misunderstanding. ”

From the very beginning, Archbishop proposed a countermeasure, looking like he had anticipated this situation.

[A ferryman formally requests an interview with the Pope as head of the expedition.]

However, they were also somewhat embarrassed to hear that the monarch had requested an audience with the Pope. It's because I didn't think I'd be able to raise the issue so thoroughly.

“Retrieve Archbishop Benedict's current duties to serve on the front lines as a general priest. Also, report all this to the monks so that they know that the Church takes this matter seriously and that Priest Benedict's proposal has nothing to do with the will of the Church. ”

Until then, the archbishops thought this was the end of the job. Since they had deserted the archbishop, even the offended monks thought they would have to overcome the face of the Church.

But it was a terrible mistake.

[Transformer, request communication with home country through current base wizard. The situation is time-consuming but hard to resist due to the overbearing attitude of the ferryman.]

The winner's response was too different from the Archbishop's expectations.

[Directly appoint the Wizard from the East Wing. Attempted communication magic through the Iberian Union.]

He was moving much faster than the Archbishop expected.

“Huh. What the... ”

“Is it true that the monarch has no regard for the unity of the Middle East? ”

Confused Archbishops vomited the monarchy, but it was the Church who touched him in the first place.

They knew about it, so they had no choice but to watch the sheep of the ferryman.

"I'm a monarch. I'm a knight in the flesh. I can be a bit harsh, but the regiment of Adenberg will be different. Even though we've been invading Nochtane lately, isn't Adenberg fundamentally a country of peace and order? ”

“The regime of Adenberg will have to watch out for that behavior soon enough, and it won't be too big of a deal. ”

“You know what? No matter what anyone says, I don't think the kingdoms of the entire continent will do anything to harm the peace between the states, the Middle Kingdom and the East, where they must gather their strength to conquer the Demon King. ”

Of course, this time, their expectations slipped through the cracks.

Ofelia held the nobles tighter than they thought, and was a monarch several times more violent than his father, who lived for peace and order.

“A specialist has arrived from the home country of Adenburg! ”

While the Archbishops were optimistic about the situation, they quickly sent a magic specialist from Adenburg.

“What! Adenberg decides between countries without discussing with the principal! ”

The startled Archbishops asked me to quickly read the specialty, and the priest who brought the specialty looked at the specialists and Archbishops alternately.

“What the hell are you doing! Without reading the full text! ”

When the unexpected situation kept happening, the poor Archbishop mourned as he had lost his mind, and then the priest mumbled to me and read me his specialty.

“We request the establishment of an immediate and quantitative communication channel between Astoria and Chief of Staff of Adenberg. ”

* *

[I'll take care of this, so you don't have to worry anymore.]

“Are you sure? I know it's a bit of a mess, but we're at war." Maybe this will reduce the wire's morale for no reason.... ”

[You're not even listening to yourself.]

After speaking as if Kim Sun-hyuk was worried, Ophelia cut off her horse.

[If you were going to finish the job properly, you wouldn't have contacted me here.]

In her comet, looking right through her insides, he reacts without feeling uneasy.

“I just believe that the regent won't be able to handle things that sloppy anyway. ”

For some reason, it felt like Ophelia was laughing out there.

“And the more bottoms up, the more money you have left when the deal is done." ”

[Tsk. What a surprise.]

Unlike what she said with her tongue, her voice was not blasphemous at all. Rather, I felt very satisfied.

[But it can't be wrong.]

Gear leaks out of her voice.

[Your faith is so heavy, my shoulders are so heavy. I will make sure I meet your expectations.]

From what I hear, Ofelia seems to already have a plan for getting something out of the church by pressuring it.

Kim Sun-hyuk was extremely curious about what it was, but did not go into detail considering the nature of the vulnerable intermediary communications.

“I trust only the regent. ”

I just expressed no more trust.

[The seasons are changing again.]

After the end of public business, Ofelia mentioned the seasons of jealousy. It was a gentle pressure to come back soon.

“When they return to the west, I will join the fleet and return immediately. ”

It was only possible to go back to Adenberg one year later, because we had to take the road and the boat alternately.

[Indeed.]

The pressure in that short sentence was unimaginable. Kim Sun-hyuk sought a horse to cope with while sweating, but there was no way he could argue with me in a situation where even ten mouths were silent.

[Tsk.]

Ophelia, whose silence speaks in tongues, shifts the subject.

[Have you received the gift I sent you?]

“Gifts? ”

[Looks like they haven't arrived yet.]

He asks what the gift is, but Ofelia does not answer.

* *

“Well done.”

After contacting Ophelia, Kim Sun-hyuk thanked the wizard from the Eastern Kingdom for willingly connecting the communications station.

“You're welcome.”

The wizard graciously welcomed him, and he once again thanked him and left the barracks.

Ugh.

The wizard, who confirmed his disappearance, pulls the contact stone out of his arms.

Communication between the Precinct and the regime of Adenberg, the Lord of the East. It was a big pile to inform the home country.

[A quarrel between the monarchs and the Fellowship over the Queisha. Finalize the situation with the current winner. But Adenberg doesn't intend to get the job done. Please be cautious of discussions between the Church and Adenburg.]

[Evaluation for all winning players needs to be renewed. The winning engineer is also considered capable of political transactions.]

[Immediately after the disappearance of Adenberg's troops, they are forced to leave the front lines.]

[Unlike the estimation of the three stages of marriage, there is strong trust in the relationship between the winning and the regime.]

No matter how trivial the information about the winning man was, there was a solemn man in the home country named Ali, and the wizard obeyed his command.

“Hmm."

It was just that if there was a problem, it was difficult to determine what was important because they were not good at gathering information.

[Regent of Adenberg and the Gold Star of the Precinct ().]

So the wizard wrote down everything and sent it in a specialized way.

* *

Just the day before, Archbishop Benedict was demoted as a general priest overnight to serve soldiers on the front lines.

Although it was officially said to serve as a role model for the soldiers on the front line, some would know that Archbishop Benedict was in fact abandoned by the Church after a disagreement with the flight attendants.

The fall of one large parish and a giant responsible for a frontline base, but people were more obsessed with other things than Benedict's position.

It was the winning streak.

Though Benedict had no practical authority and was displaced by the struggle against the warriors, it was astonishing to see the status of the winning monks who were so victorious at once.

“Sir, if people pass by you, they won't even be able to breathe. ”

I spent all day trying to heal my patients, but the warriors were still chatty about whether I had any strength left.

“Anyway, I'm glad you took revenge for me. That Benedict guy, he couldn't eat me before. ”

“Don't make a fuss, it's not because of you. ”

“Didn't you say he was going to give up all the Queishas? I don't think I'm ever going to be sane when I see a real church. I don't know how to think that. ”

“You fool. But you belong to the Church. Can I say that? ”

He criticized his enemies, but the warrior's words were not harsh.

“Why not? I've been called before, and then I panicked. Are they the Archbishop? I was so angry that I thought I'd take it seriously and go to exile in your country. ”

The warrior blasphemed the Church for a long time, saying it was okay for this country to go well.

“Rats listen to night, birds listen to day. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk also empathized deeply with the warrior's words.

“They can't kick them out anyway. Can you treat me like they buy me because I have faith? It's because of the foot.”

“That's right... ”

The words of Park Joon-min were blocked.

“Did you level up a lot, by the way? ”

“Don't be surprised. ”

In the meantime, the warrior looks back as confident as he has achieved quite a lot.

“I've gone up to level 44. ”

There was a reason to be confident. The growth of the warrior was so explosive that Kim Sun-hyuk's mouth became wide open.

“If you fight now, you won't lose like before. ”

“You're more of a natural. ”

He shakes his head without me knowing how many times he was broken, frustrated, and quickly swayed like a warrior.

“Let's take a test when we have time. ”

“Shall we do it today? ”

Joon-min did not reject the offer. It was as if he had waited.

“Suit yourself.”

Kim Sun-hyuk also gladly accepted the request for a duel.

However, there were two men who were trying to leave the barracks.

“A convoy dispatched from Adenberg has arrived at the base with supplies! ”

A messenger came running to tell us that troops and supplies from Adenberg had arrived. And among the supplies that arrived was the 'gift’ Ophelia talked about.
