In the evening.

In the middle of a lake in the Donoz Sea.

The "prison master" was pleased with the cooperation of the Pope. Although he has been arranging for many years, Nicholas has also sent "that one" to support him, but who knows how many hole cards this old guy has hidden? Until he completely banned his mana and threw him into the bottom of the Divine Prison, he couldn't be careless for a moment.

And now, the prison master can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Criminals who have been imprisoned in the Divine Prison, let alone legendary spellcasters, cannot escape even true gods.

The Pope—probably the "former" Pope—has the last words still in my ears.

"Please let me do it myself, Grana. Remove the anti-magic field that envelops Kan'en Island, it will cause trouble for wild magical creatures. ”

The prison master couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"At this time, I still care about other people......" he said to himself.

The prison master had fantasized about the day of a coup d'état countless times, but he never dreamed that everything would go so smoothly. The old pope calmly surrendered his power. Except for a handful of loyal paladins who were still resisting, the entire center of the Holy See was under his control. God is like the sea, and God is like hell...... From now on, he will be the embodiment of both.

The Pope was indeed aware of his movements. Maybe they think their chances of winning are extremely low, and they want to keep their wings; Perhaps, as he said, he did not want this peaceful island of seclusion to be poisoned by war; Perhaps he was simply tired of fulfilling his personal desires in the name of God.

At all costs......

"You're noble, old fellow." The prison master sighed under his breath and played with the golden crown in his hand. Now, it's its own.

Noble character and compassion are not enough to save the people in this cruel era. The Holy See needs a leader who is cold-willed and decisive...... Himself.

"How many paladins escaped? Can't get them to deliver the message yet. The figure of the prison master disappeared in place.

Until the time comes, everything that happens on the island in the middle of the lake is a secret. Once the coup was leaked, the paladins roaming the world immediately threw themselves on the side of the enemies of the Holy See and Okade. Until the final moment comes, they must be convinced that their venerable old Pope is safe and sound, and that he is preparing a counterattack to make the evil forces that desecrate the corpses feel the wrath of the gods.

--------------

At the same time, in Elrios.

All students in District 2 were gathered in the auditorium. The students of the mage department occupy a corner and appear rather impatient with the forced assembly of the school. Students from the military department and the clerical department gathered in twos and threes to discuss what was going on. It wasn't until the instructors of the military department stepped in to maintain order that the noisy hall quieted down a little.

Just when the students were a little impatient, Archon George Stewart, dressed in pure white robes, appeared in the auditorium. He spent the whole afternoon surrounded by bad news.

The merchant alliance countries in the south of Okard have severed ties with the French powers, and the French powers can hardly determine the true attitude of the continental chambers of commerce.

There was no response to the communication sent to the Holy See on Donoz Island. The old pope issued a scathing letter of condemnation of the massacre and misuse of necromancy, without any real orders. The cathars were not assembled, and even the kindest and most stubborn paladins could only slowly concentrate their forces in forbearance and wait-and-see.

In the face of the undead frenzy, the ability of the individual is so small.

For Archon Stewart, the only good news came from the Empire. Prince Demiteo and Baroness Victoria, two of the Empire's future legendary secret warriors, sent a message from the Emperor, making it clear that if Okard invaded any country with this undead army, the Empire would not sit idly by.

Dimi had planned to appear with Stewart, but Stewart refused. The archons wanted the representatives of the empire to have a more "beautiful" appearance, to boost their morale if necessary.

Stewart walked to the front of the auditorium. He saw his adopted daughter Wendy at a glance. He smiled at her. I saw that Wendy maintained a respectful smile on her face, but avoided her father's eyes. She had always had a poor relationship with her father.

Stewart shook his head slightly. When is it, what are you still thinking about these things? In any case, he will not allow his beloved daughter to go to war.

The archon looked at the students in the audience. It was a young and energetic face.

"Students. I ......"

Stewart spoke. However, his voice was interrupted by a louder and more majestic voice.

……

Okad. In the ruins of the city of the Dwarves.

"Is it worth it to use legendary-level illusions in order to declare war?" Mr. Kim looked hesitant.

"Let them know how to be afraid." Speaker Nicholas was expressionless.

……

"People of the French State!"

Speaker Nicholas's clear voice exploded in the ears of every student in the auditorium.

However, it's not just this small auditorium.

Solidar College Second School District.

The whole city of pure white.

The whole territory of Elrios, from the cities of Emmanuel and Gottlieb in the south, to the inland town of Empedocles in the north-

The words of Speaker Nicholas rang in everyone's ears at the same time.

Under the influence of legendary illusions, almost the entire territory of the French Kingdom was swept up in it. Even the sleeping people were awakened, and the frightened babies began to cry.

"Lonely, Lord of the Falcon, Nicholas, descendant of the great Okad, master of the Federation."

Stewart raised his hand, ready to counter the spell, at least to get the speaker's voice out of the students' heads. But suddenly teleported behind him, the white-bearded old man stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Listen to what he has to say, Stewart. It's a teleportation spell, and it doesn't have the ability to attack. The Lord of the Galaxy said.

The Speaker's voice continues. On the street, many passers-by looked up at the sky in confusion. Even if the ears are blocked, the sound will still be heard clearly in their heads.

"Blue sky, galaxy, clouds...... The rulers of the French kingdom seek my homeland, confuse my princes, and make our federation never at peace. Although the loneliness is peaceful, the root cause is not removed, and the lonely day cannot sleep. ”

The students' faces changed. Many people are pale-faced. Many farmers and homeless people in remote areas knelt on their knees and bowed.

"It's unbearable. In the name of the Supreme Commander of the Okad Federation, Lone, Nicholas, orders the entire territory of the French State: within one month, Kaecheng please surrender, severely punish all evils, and comfort the souls of the fallen soldiers of the Federation. If you don't obey, you will lead the army to fight alone, and you will have a thousand-year-old foundation, which will inevitably be ruined. ”

Some military students have already begun to wave their fists. When has the French state been so insulted for thousands of years?

And the Speaker's words are coming to an end.

"Lonely and benevolent, I can't bear to see the lives of a thousand-year-old country ruined. Wang'er and others made wise judgments. ”

The Speaker's voice was gone. The auditorium was silent. In the streets of Elrios, the same scene is everywhere.

The entire land of the French Kingdom seemed to fall into a dead silence.

"If this continues, the whole country will be in a panic." The figure of the Lord of the Galaxy disappeared again.

……

Just five minutes later.

Another old voice, also resounding in the land of Errios:

"Nicholas, I, Erios, will not succumb to any fabricated charges. If you are obsessed, you will bring about your own destruction. ”

People know ...... This is the legendary mage of Elrios who has made a move.

The people of the country of legal power all believe that in terms of spell-casting skills, the country of legal power is the most powerful country in the world. If even the best fighting method is compared to others, how can this battle be fought? Faced with Nicholas's spell provocation, the Lord of the Galaxy had no choice but to fight back with the same means.

However, Okad's territory is not much larger than Elrios, and with the same technique, the Lord of the Falcon can cover the entire French Kingdom, but the Lord of the Galaxy cannot cover the Federation, so he has to shout to his own people to stabilize morale.
