A Demon's Journey

After the declaration, the Pope ordered his clerics to attack!

"Launch your strongest attacks!"

Upon hearing that loud shout, the delegate was instantly scared.

The delegate was told that if he spoke exactly as scripted, the Pope wouldn\'t attack the Roger Dukedom.

The clerics soon launched their destructive attacks to destroy the Roger Dukedom\'s defensive walls.

Once those attacks struck, the walls surrounding the Roger Dukedom\'s Mansion were immediately destroyed.

In fact, the attacks went on to reach the Roger Dukedom\'s Mansion.

The side of the mansion they were attacking was where the Roger Dukedom\'s servants lived.

This was naturally captured by the Vision Transmission Array. In fact, it could be argued that this area was the center point of this Vision Transmission Array!

Once these servants died, a couple of experts from the Roger Dukedom immediately appeared and blocked the attacks from the Radiant Church\'s clerics.

It was as if they were preparing for the Radiant Church to attack them.

A barrier array activated and immediately kept the attacks from touching the Roger Dukedom\'s mansion.

At that moment, a deep and intimidating voice resounded in the area, "I have tried to talk to the Radiant Church to resolve this misunderstanding. But since you are intent on spilling blood, then so be it! I won\'t tolerate anyone who attacks my people, no matter who it is!"

Those words were absolutely genuine as Steven Roger had spoken his heart.

His servants, who were completely unaware of the scheme, were delighted to hear those words. In fact, the death of their comrades angered them. And now, the Duke Roger\'s words had raised their spirits.

They knew that this man was with them!

Shun watched this entire scene unfold from within the Main Hall. He was clenching his fists tightly in frustration.

He was frustrated that he had to use such a tactic to counter Azaroth\'s ideas. It mentally destroyed him as he saw how these servants were killed because of his plan.

\'Losing my sanity would be worth it if it allows me to defeat a Demon God.\'

This was his motivation right now.

He wanted to prevent any plan that Azaroth had for the Sinyalian Kingdom today! The sacrifices of these servants wouldn\'t be in vain!

Edwin and Siluca were in the area while the exchange between the Pope and the delegate from the Roger Dukedom was going on.

He was surprised by the Roger Dukedom\'s actions.

He did expect them to allow the Radiant Church to make the first move, but what surprised him was that he sensed five 6 Star Experts in the area.

\'Huh? According to the Noble Families\' information over the Roger Dukedom, it should only have three 6 Star experts. Two of them are from the older generation. Why would Duke Roger summon his entire force to fight against the Radiant Church?\'

\'Does he know that the Pope can summon Angels? No. That shouldn\'t be true. According to the Pope, he has never displayed this skill before. Or did the Duke acquire this information from some other country? No… The Radiant Church should have better control over their secrets than this. They wouldn\'t allow it to randomly spread like that.\'

\'Also, even if they did summon their entire force, that would only add up to three. Does that mean they hired some organizations as well?\'

Edwin understood that either the information he possessed was outdated or a sharp brain assisting the Roger Dukedom.

When he thought of a sharp brain, Inquisitor Fox\'s masked face appeared in his mind.

However, he shook his head and rejected the possibility.

\'The King couldn\'t have asked him to step in for this matter. The King\'s best option would be to give up on the Roger Dukedom. Also, this Inquisitor Fox couldn\'t have known that I am involved in this matter. According to him, I should have left the Kingdom.\'

Siluca had no idea about Edwin\'s thoughts. She thought everything was going according to Edwin\'s plan.

The situation played out exactly as Edwin mentioned it to her, so she was quite delighted and relieved.

The Roger Dukedom and the Radiant Church were embroiled in fierce combat.

Currently, the Roger Dukedom was on the defensive. They gathered their forces and managed their formations before sending them out of the Barrier to attack the Radiant Church\'s forces.

The Pope hadn\'t summoned angels on his side because the Roger Dukedom hadn\'t sent their own 6 Star Warriors.

The Pope didn\'t want to summon someone as exalted as an Angel over these warriors. Only when the situation turned urgent was he planning to summon her.

The barrier created by the Roger Dukedom wasn\'t very strong. It wouldn\'t be able to take more than 10 hits from the Pope and the Archbishops.

Thus, the Roger Dukedom had to rely on their warriors sent out to fight against the Radiant Church.

Naturally, most of them were killed before they even closed the distance between them.

The Radiant Church\'s destructive attacks were of long range. Using them, they could easily kill many warriors of the Roger Dukedom\'s side.

This continued for a couple of minutes. Suddenly, the situation was reversed.

This reversal occurred because of the sudden dissolution of the barrier around the Roger Dukedom\'s Mansion, and hundreds of warriors charged towards the Radiant Church\'s clerics from different directions.

The warriors of the Roger Dukedom were much superior in terms of numbers, but their cultivation was lacking compared to the Radiant Church\'s experts.

Thus, just one hit from the Radiant Church\'s experts and the warriors of the Roger Dukedom would sleep for eternity.

However, right now, the Roger Dukedom\'s warriors were charging at the Radiant Church\'s experts from five different directions.

They had definitely done many drills to practice this movement. It was far too quick, and it didn\'t allow the Radiant Church the slightest chance to react.

By the time the Radiant Church\'s experts looked around to check the number of their enemies, the Roger Dukedom\'s experts were already upon them.

The Pope used his Holy Weapons and even the suppressive ability as a 5 Star Cleric to keep the enemies away from the core of their formation. Still, it wasn\'t enough to keep these hordes of experts away from the Radiant Church\'s experts.

After all, the most the Pope could suppress were less than 30 people. However, there were hundreds of warriors charging towards the Radiant Church\'s experts.

Also, similar to Laura\'s group, these clerics weren\'t talented in combat at all. In fact, their combat experience was even inferior to the warriors in Laura\'s group.

Thus, as soon as this fight became a close-combat fight, the Roger Dukedom\'s warriors immediately began to dominate this battle.

In the distance, Edwin was once again surprised.

On the surface, it appeared as if these many warriors were released to completely suppress the Radiant Church and destroy them, but Edwin that this definitely wasn\'t the case.

In fact, the Roger Dukedom\'s true trump cards were still in their original positions. They hadn\'t taken a step forward.

This meant they were waiting for something. That something could only be the Radiant Church\'s trump cards.

\'Duke Roger is unexpectedly bold at this moment. He has sent more than 40% warriors under him just to force out the Radiant Church\'s trump card.\'
