Upcoming wars
Rafiniya's P.O.V.
[Impossibl-]-The angel of observation screamed in pain before exploding.
What just happened? How could such a sacred being be defiled by his hands? What will be my next order?
Meanwhile somewhere in the Holy Kingdom,
A Saintess sitting down stood up together with several other ladies. The meeting conference between the temple of justice and the temple of peace was silent. Even the goddess of peace and god of justice viewing the live footage was stunned. A pin drop could be heard in this silence.
Then an angry old man yelling angrily, "This is BLASPHEMY! The angel sent by our god has been KILLED. I SUGGEST WE BURN HIM ON THE STICK!!!!"
Several other older members voiced out their agreement. This was the scene after the footage switched to the image of the magician, a light figure appeared followed by the destruction of an angel.
Those old bishops couldn't tolerate the sight of their god being disrespected.
Another member yelled at the Saintess of peace, "Didn't you say this paladin is suited for this job? LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED. Not only did she lose our angel, but SHE also FAILED HER MISSION!"
Only then did the Saintess of peace spoke up.
"SILENCE! Did we not all agree on sending her? You were the one who brought up that suggestion and now you are pushing the blame to me? Are you treating the temple of peace as a joke?" The Saintess spoke coldly to the bishop of justice. "The only reason why we had taken action is because all the paladins you sent were eliminated. My paladin successfully infiltrated the castle, yet you are blaming her because of this unpredictable anomaly. Are you trying to go against the will of the goddess of peace?"
Each word spoken by the Saintess was filled with coldness, her icily glance that complemented her beauty now exerts an unbearable pressure. The bishop from the temple of justice now shivers with cold sweat, realizing that he had stepped out of his bounds.
"No-o, thi-is..." The poor bishop was flustered trying desperately to come out with a reason she would accept. With every second, the pressure on him increased. Soon he couldn't bear the pressure and fell onto the grounds on his knees.
The Saintess pulled out her white staff exerting a holy aura. At the tip of the staff lies a blade created by her immense mana pool. The bishop on his knees tried desperately to speak, his mouth stayed open but no words came out.
The noisy environment disappeared, replaced by a chilly aura. The members supporting the bishop started to pale as they realized the seriousness of their accusation.
Before the blade landed on his neck, it was deflected by an extremely old man covered in wrinkles. He shook his cloak off his head revealing his long white hair, he bowed towards the Saintess of peace and apologies.
"Apologies Saintess of peace, Alustiel, it seems that the younger ones of the temple of justice are not well educated. I will personally educate him myself after this."
"The discipline of your temple has gotten lax my friend, Malcium or should I say the pope of Justice, "Alustiel replied smoothly. The atmosphere of the room changed again, the chilly atmosphere was no more replaced by a gentle smiling face.
"Haha don't need to be so formal with me Alustiel, just treat me as usual, "Malcium replied gently.
"Enough with the chattering for now. We got more important things to deal with here. Have you forgotten the purpose of this meeting?"Alustiel said while preparing a scroll.
"This scroll contains evidence on the deals made by the king of Dusk and the Dusk god. Though we only know that there is a sacrificial formation at the bottom of Entropy, it is enough for you to take action. We still have many things to do, but dealing with the Dusk god comes first. My temple will be dealing with the monster attack this year, much preparation needs to be done." She said with a sigh.
"It must be hard on you then, our gods predicted that the attacks this year would be much harsher than the previous years. Currently, the alliance of light has been busy dealing with the evil gods. With the temple of justice and the temple of peace taking action now... I am afraid that there are no free members to deal with surprise attacks. And if a wild god decides to attack right now I am afraid that our loss will be great..." Malcium solemnly described the current situation of the alliance of light.
Then he said, "There is still no reply from our lords... perhaps we are really in a disadvantage this year. Those evil beings certainly got us this time. I will be making a move first, the faster we get rid of the temple of Dusk, the more time we have for our preparation against the forces of evil."
"Even the orc alliance is moving right now. With those orc gods watching for a perfect time to strike, our lords won't be able to move as they please. Our forces are currently spread out. We will have to centralize our powers soon or else when the time comes we may lose." Alustiel replied to Malcium before leaving.
After the meeting, Alustiel's side,
"Saintess what should we do now? With the monster wave of a few million monsters, we do not have enough troops to last through this wave. In 4 months time the monster wave will arrive and in 5 months time from now, the devil army will invade the mortal plains... and the orcs may choose this period of time to attack us if this happens..."A bishop asked worriedly.
"Contact the temple of wealth, they should be able to send us enough supplies to last the upcoming war. Contact the holy queen and get her to provide us with sufficient knights. Complete the defensive formation at the GoldenSun stronghold by next month. That will be all for now. I will be returning to the shrine of peace, get the head priest ready for the summoning ritual." Alustiel replied confidently.
