"Shit. Don't they know what's going on right now? What are you thinking?"
"... maybe you can only say that the timing was bad. After all, until the other day, we were engaged in combat."
"That's why you should be a little more accommodating. Is it okay if we can't get through to the Holy City? It's an emergency that might bring back the Undead King."
"Exactly. But even though you've given me this voice, I don't think other nobles will be able to judge if it's the right information. Just checking the facts will take time, unlike Fontana."
"Having said that, you don't often go to the Holy City via the eastern side of Menmen territory, do you? How far are we going?"
As the Council said, I was going to go to the Holy City to defeat Naja.
But then it took me a while to get ready.
What a surprise, I was about to rush to the Holy City and I couldn't travel the shortest distance.
The sacred capital is located in the southwest of the King's Land.
To get there, it is best to simply go south from the Kingdom of Fontana and cross the King's City.
Distance is a problem, but the existence of a street to King's Landing makes it easy to get around.
However, the street, rather than the street, was even rejected as passing through the south land.
It was the Confederation of Northern Nobles and its allies, the Anti-Memen Federation, and the House of Rheinzats that denied access.
Here's what they say.
Fontana's associates, who seized several aristocratic territories without a cause this year, could not be allowed to descend south as a well-armed group even though they were a minority.
Well, if you write it down in a letter, there will certainly be some parts of it that nod.
After all, if a handful of elite troops were released from the Fontana kingdom like arrows, we cannot predict what the consequences would be for other noble territories.
However, this explains the situation.
Naja of the Marshall Mercenaries in the South activated [Light of Justice].
And that Naja is aiming for the Holy City.
If the Holy City is attacked and destroyed, the King of the Immortals will be resurrected.
However, no other aristocracy had the means to corroborate the explanation.
In the Kingdom of Fontana, a means of quickly obtaining information from remote areas is established using Remarks .
However, the common nobility still has no way of knowing about the remote lands only by means of transmission and exchange of information by letter.
Therefore, just checking if this description is correct was a breeze for winter.
Troops will not be allowed to pass through their territory, which has been hostile at least once.
If you really want to go to the Holy City, you have to take another route.
What a terrible thing that even the Lindsatz family did.
That's why I only got clearance for the eastern route through Menmen territory before I went to the Holy City.
Are you stupid?
Are you stupid?
I don't know how to protect myself, but the situation is urgent.
Not when the King of the Undead may be resurrected.
Luke of the House of Boutika said that defeating the King of the Immortals was a longing for generations, but apparently other nobles have forgotten their original role.
Originally there were nobles to deal with the immortals, but they only saw their own interests.
"There's no turning east, Leon. No matter how fast Valkyrie's feet go, it's too far. It's taking too long."
"Yes, but that would force us to break through a number of noble territories without a permit. It's not impossible, but it's dangerous and will take time after all. I don't know what kind of disturbance you have, or if you get attacked while resting."
"Then shall I come with you, Ars?
"Eh... is Archbishop Paul coming with me to the Holy City?
"Yeah, that's right. Rather, you follow me for convenience, Ars. I, the Archbishop, go to the Holy City. Assume that you are the one accompanying them for that purpose. That would at least make it less likely that it would be considered a military offensive."
"I see, Archbishop Paul's companion. I mean, you're part of the church. Would the nobility have prevented the archbishop of the church from moving if he hadn't allowed it to pass?"
"That's right. Should you, by nature, be neutral from the church? But this situation is important to the church. If that's the case, I can't stand still either."
"Okay, Archbishop Paul? It's dangerous to go to the Holy City.
"I know. But it's the same with you, isn't it, Ars? If you are going to risk your life to fight Naja, I will need to risk my own. But I can't even fight because it helps me get around."
"No, that's enough. Let's go to the Holy City together. Best regards, Archbishop Paul."
"Yes, thank you very much, Ars."
Problems with the route to the sacred capital.
It was Archbishop Paul who gave us a solution.
The Archbishop is a fairly senior position in the church.
The Archbishop of Paul goes to the sacred capital, the center of the church.
It will be very difficult for any nobleman to obstruct the movement.
And I will accompany Archbishop Paul as a sacrifice.
In this case, the Lord is only Archbishop Paul, and I am obedient.
However, other aristocracy also judged that I would not be able to do anything on my own during the trip to avoid crushing the face of the church.
Since Archbishop Paul acknowledged that he would not have any trouble travelling to the Holy City and that it would be the church's responsibility if it did, he was finally allowed to pass.
So, while I was wasting some time, I started travelling with Archbishop Paul to the Holy City.
