Chapter 462 – 37. Alliance of the 3 Regions – Tidy Up (1)

[Three-pronged alliance – tidying up]

Four days have passed since the Third Earth Alliance died.

I don’t know about Luciano and the other members of the Holy Hammer, but according to the original schedule, the warrior party should have left long ago. Rather than leaving the three-pronged alliance, he was planning to visit several tribes and tour.

However, due to the events of that day, they were completely stranded in the city.

The incident that happened that day was not only a huge bad news, but also because of Kang Jin-hyeok, the male hero among the twins suffering from magic poisoning. He is in such a bad condition that he is still bedridden.

It was even judged that he could have died if there were no priests around who could use divine power. There was a lot of talk at the Vatican about the conclusion that he is not yet in danger of life, but he needs to recuperate for several months.

“I have to take it off.”

One cardinal said.

“And we must continue our journey. Not days, but months. After all, there are only two countries left, so why not continue?”

“Hmm.”

“That too.”

A meeting of the high priests of the Goddess Church.

All the cardinals of the Women’s Church were present, except for the Pope, who was ill, and Luciano, who was abroad, and one cardinal. In addition, there were saints and even some priests in special positions.

“Mmmm, that’s definitely true. But…”

The Cardinal of the Luciano faction raised the eyebrows to put the brakes on the Cardinal of the opposing faction, but it was ignored in an instant.

“But and what!”

Bang!

“That’s why you can’t just make fun of it, no!”

“That’s right…”

Cardinal of Luciano’s faction who is immediately intimidated.

Originally, there was no way the meeting would take place without Luciano present. However, due to an unexpected situation, the meeting was held, and in the absence of Luciano, there was no cardinal who could check the head of the opposing faction.

‘Hehe, should I call this lucky?’

Thanks to this, the meeting is on a winning streak, but the situation is serious.

“Okay…”

The cardinals of Luciano’s faction, who had been pushed back from the meeting, looked away with a growl.

It is Saint Cloudy.

In the absence of Pope and Luciano, she was the only one who could stop her opponent.

“…”

She was sitting so quietly that she wondered if she was sleeping with her characteristic narrow eyes.

Cloudy glanced around her round table and finally opened her mouth.

“I agree.”

“Ugh…”

“But it seems that the party of warriors should decide this.”

Cloudy seemed to take one side of her, and she very much brought out her opinion of her.

It is the cardinals who implicitly look down on the party of warriors, but no one is an idiot who will openly bring it up in an official setting. In the end, her first agenda went beyond Yuyamuya.

But this time, there was one more item on the agenda.

And everyone considered this agenda more important.

“Then… What should I do with the 3-prong alliance?”

“…”

“…”

The meeting hall fell into silence.

It was the most difficult problem.

There are only six countries on the continent.

A leader of one of them all had to join hands with his demons.

It was also the furthest away from the demon tribe, beside the Holy Kingdom where the Vatican was located.

It was an ambiguous situation for them in many ways.

“…Well, it’s fortunate. The problem was quelled before it escalated.”

“Thank you, are you?”

“Isn’t that so? If I passed by without knowing and the demons started a war…”

“…”

“It is truly a blessing from the Goddess.”

Thoughts ran through the heads of all but a few.

It is fortunate that the troublemaker of the two warriors was able to finish the job after suffering for several months. Calmly judged, no matter how you think about it, it is advantageous to catch the fallen leader. Thanks to this, the three-pronged alliance fell into chaos, but it was quickly being rectified.

“What did you say the current status of the 3-prong alliance is?”

“I heard that about a dozen tribal chiefs and deputies are temporarily operating in the form of a council.”

“Well. The old head of the lord was in dictatorship. But it’s only been 4 days, so it’s fast.”

“I heard that they were plotting a rebellion.”

“Huh, rebellion?”

“Well, since the identity of the leader has been exposed, it must be more like a revolution than a rebellion.”

The cardinals are having discussions close to chatter with a carefree attitude all over the world.

Cloudy laughed inwardly at the priests.

‘I can’t believe there’s no one to worry about.’

She knew the situation of the three-pronged alliance better than anyone else.

Because she heard about the current situation there directly from Valdes and Fiora.

So I had no choice but to laugh at the foolish cardinals.

How would the tribal council react if they found out that it was none other than Arsha of the warrior party who led the rebellion, and that Arsha was the de facto chairman of the council? You will never know who Arsha belongs to.

‘It will be delivered in a few days. Then the party of warriors will be five without two.’

Obstacles were also removed, and the number of rivals, albeit ambiguous, decreased by one.

The saintess wanted to use her service as an excuse to go to the Wool Straw Kingdom again, but she had a desire to do so, but she soon gave up.

When she saw it, the country that had already belonged to Valdez seemed more difficult than the other country where she worked with a black hand. Not to mention, not one or two women, but five. There are more, she heard, when you add in the lesser weighted ones.

‘I think it would be better to go to the Empire at the right time.’

Cloudy remained neutral in the meeting, making plans to continue meeting Valdes.

Anyway, the discussion did not produce any clear results.

Even the second issue was fuzzy, and the third agenda, the subjugation of the Chimera monster, came up.

What they had to decide was the military issue.

“Please subdue the monsters scattered throughout the jungle, sir.”

“Looking at the map, it’s roughly this much.”

“Even though it’s almost the beginning, it’s ¼ of the jungle.”

“I’ll have to send it anyway.”

“At least this much should be sent!”

Again, the opposing faction argued vigorously.

It was because he didn’t think that the monsters would be in the 3-pronged alliance and not in the Holy Kingdom, so he didn’t get much results from the expedition. Although they subdued miscellaneous monsters and some thieves, they are mediocre compared to the cost and materials consumed.

Because they wanted to make up for it no matter what.

After that, there were only minor issues that were not particularly important.

After that meeting.

“Saint!”

“…?”

A cardinal grabbed Claudy as she left the conference room.

When I turned my back to check, it was a cardinal from Luciano’s faction.

“What are you doing?”

“Oh, hey, it’s nothing else…”

The hesitant middle-aged cardinal looked around and asked cautiously.

“Do you know anything about Cardinal Luciano?”

“Yes?”

“Ah, that’s what it means. Obviously, I contacted you yesterday as well, but something was strange.”

“…”

“Certainly, the video would also be able to communicate, but you bothered to connect only the sound, and Vice-captain Tesari, who I contacted just in case, reacted strangely.

A middle-aged cardinal who clearly shows concern for Luciano.

It was a political concern, not pure intentions, but Cloudy’s eyes twinkled.

‘The more rice cakes, the better.’

Cloudy made a dark expression.

“Stop, saintess?”

“Since he’s about the size of a cardinal, I’ll let you know. I don’t know for sure… From what I’ve heard, the cardinal’s prediction is correct.”

“Huh…!”

“Still, the extent of the injury is still unclear, so please keep it a secret if possible.”

“… Um. I see.”

The middle-aged cardinal nodded his head, but Cloudy didn’t believe it.

If Luciano gets into trouble, the faction that pushed him will suffer in many ways. So this man will undoubtedly cross both factions if you follow the rumors. If even a little bit of her story spread along the way, it would be perfect for her.

‘Even if it’s not, it doesn’t matter.’

“Enough then.”

“Yes, please enter carefully, saintess.”

“Yes, cardinal too.”

On the other hand, the three-pronged alliance.

Contrary to Claudy’s trickery and the middle-aged cardinal’s worries, Luciano’s condition has improved considerably. It was thanks to Tessari’s laying her on the bed as if she were forcing her to rest.

It’s not completely better yet, but it was possible to fight at a decent level as well as daily life.

“Hehe, things are going well.”

“No.”

“…What?”

“This is what happened, get some more rest.”

“No, what are you talking about!”

Luciano was angry with Tesari.

“Please rest while you can. Here, we alone are enough.”

“No, no. But I have to step in myself…”

“Do you know who is leading the Alliance Council now?”

“…”

“This is Miss Arsha.”

“Arsha? …Ah, the warrior’s party? Hmm…”

“We were lucky. Thanks to that, it became easy for us to spread our influence through contact with Fiora.

“No, but Fiora is Arsha? Was she close to her?”

Thanks to Luciano, who was sharp in useless parts, Tessaly was a little taken aback.

Luckily he didn’t seem to notice.

‘A lot of talk really. You should be easy later… It’s easier.’

“We’re close. So, take a break.”

“No, but…”

“From what I’ve seen, having your father around is rather a hindrance. You’re not good at this kind of work. I’ll be leaving for training and subjugation the day after tomorrow, so please do your best at that time .Judging from the number of monsters you saw then, you judged that there wouldn’t be only one nest. It is.”

“… Whoa, that’s right too.”

After a relentless struggle, Tessari put Luciano on the bed and managed to get out of the room.

‘Given the dwarf’s personality, he’ll try to come out tomorrow, but for the next day or so, it won’t matter. It’s strange to be so shut up. Anyway, there is enough evidence, and the Holy Lady will solve the Vatican.’

The long plan prepared by Valdez is almost finished.

Now there is only one thing left.

“Huh…♡”

The fallen paladin smiled coquettishly.

Her dwarf and her father her didn’t matter to her anymore.

Even if he dies.

“Haa, I’m a bit hot… I need to go to the owner♡”

It was a week before the death of the dwarf paladin Luciano.
