A Demon's Journey

The next day, news spread across the Walsh Dukedom's territory. The Branch of the Radiant Church had been destroyed by the Roger Dukedom.

The common people and even many warriors were filled with indignation towards the Roger Dukedom. They couldn't understand why the Roger Dukedom had suddenly attacked and destroyed the Radiant Church's branch.

It was completely unprecedented. But other than a few people, no one stopped and tried to think of the reason behind this attack. Instead, the people were now calling out for the blood of the Roger Dukedom's House.

Not a single individual doubted this information since it was the Radiant Church who had spread it. People greatly trusted the Radiant Church and knew they wouldn't lie about such a thing.

After all, they didn't have to lie. It had been Radiant Church's branch that had been wiped out. It would be a disgrace if they endured even after their own clerics were ruthlessly killed.

And it could be said that the Radiant Church didn't disappoint. They told the people to remain calm. The Radiant Church would take their own revenge.

However, they did warn the people that if they supported the Roger Dukedom, they could consider the Radiant Church as their enemy.

This news had spread all around the Sinyalian Kingdom within just a couple of days.

These days, it would be stranger to find a person who hadn't heard about this matter.

King Valliadis was no different. He was completely shaken by this news.

"The Radiant Church is completely infuriated. They are preparing to launch an attack on the Roger Dukedom. In fact, they are so angry that they aren't even sending someone to ask for an explanation from the Roger Dukedom. It's clear they are now looking for a fight!"

The man who informed this news to King Valliadas spoke very respectfully and a bit fearfully.

The King appeared to be absolutely shocked at this news but not because he heard that the Radiant Church would launch an attack at a dukedom.

His surprise was because the Radiant Church's target was actually the Roger Dukedom instead of the Walsh Dukedom.

As the King of the Sinyalian Kingdom, he had known some details about this matter between the Walsh Kingdom and the Radiant Church.

He knew that the predecessor of the Walsh Kingdom wanted to take revenge against the Radiant Church, but before she could accomplish this dream, she had been killed by the Saber King of the Glerian Kingdom.

However, her heiress had inherited that will, but she wasn't too bright in terms of tactics.

She could reach the critical step because she was merely following the plan of her predecessor.

The King believed that the situation was still under his control until Siluca attacked the Radiant Church.

He was planning to use the Walsh Dukedom's power to suppress the Radiant Church.

Although the Radiant Church had not expressed any interest in becoming a Sovereign, their prestige within the people's hearts still worried him greatly.

He wanted to learn their secrets, their trump cards, and weaken them by using someone else's hand.

It had to be known that being a king didn't just mean he had to be strong. He had to smartly manipulate the powers in his Kingdom so that his rule remained stable.

However, he hadn't expected that the Radiant Church's target wouldn't be the Walsh Dukedom but the Roger Dukedom.

Walsh Dukedom had lost a great deal of its prestige, and even its power was not comparable to the other Dukedoms.

Amongst the Dukedoms, the Walsh Dukedom could be considered the weakest.

In fact, the Rhodes Marquis House led by Jonas Rhodes could contend against it and have a good chance of winning.

Thus, the King was willing to sacrifice the Walsh Dukedom to deal with the Radiant Church. However, now the Radiant Church was actually targeting the strongest Dukedom within the Sinyalian Kingdom.

If the Radiant Church fought against it, this battle would deal critical damage to the Sinyalian Kingdom.

"What has happened? Investigate it! Send the Inquisitors available in the Royal Palace!" The King gave his orders immediately.

The servant bowed respectfully before rushing to fulfill the King's order.

The King began to think deeply 'Siluca Walsh was searching for a 5 Star Array Master. And according to the information I have, she still hadn't found someone. Then what happened that has forced the Roger Dukedom to launch an attack on the Radiant Church? They shouldn't be stupid enough to actually do this.'

Currently, in the Roger Dukedom, the Duke was incomparably angry as he smashed the things around.

He knew that the Roger Dukedom's relationship with the Radiant Church was getting frosty. He had even felt that someone was manipulating things from the shadows.

It could only be that strategic genius from the Walsh Dukedom.

The Duke had willingly let him be controlled because he truly wished to suppress the Radiant Church and increase his personal power.

However, even though he wished to suppress the Radiant Church's power, he wasn't planning on tearing his face and directly go against them.

As the Duke of the Sinyalian Kingdom, he was completely aware of the Radiant Church's great prestige and power.

For most people, infuriating the Radiant Church was just courting death.

Just as he was the most anxious, he heard one of his servants rush to the hall.

"Master, someone wishes to talk to you." The servant spoke rather respectfully.

However, the head of the Roger Dukedom was no longer in the mood to talk to anyone else. He immediately roared, "Scram! I don't want to talk to anyone!"

The Servant was terrified as he heard his master shout. However, he remained on his spot and spoke with a steady voice, "The one who wants to talk to you is Inquisitor Fox."

"Tell the Inquisitor… Wait…What did you say? Which Inquisitor is it?" The Head of the Roger Dukedom suddenly lowered his voice and asked with a surprised look.

The servant was relieved to see his master calm down. He spoke with a respectful "It's Inquisitor Fox. He has expressed his desire to assist you."

The Head of the Roger Dukedom was incomparably shocked. He had heard of the news spread by the Radiant Church.

They had declared that anyone who assisted the Roger Dukedom would be considered an enemy of the Radiant Church.

Even though this man named Inquisitor Fox should be aware of this information, he was still willing to come forward and assist the Roger Dukedom.

"Quickly connect with him and go away." The head of the Roger Dukedom immediately spoke.

The servant nodded his head and then handed over the Voice Transmission Stone to the Roger Dukedom.

"Greetings, Inquisitor Fox. I am the Head of the Roger Dukedom, Steven Roger. You can call me Steven." Steven immediately spoke to Inquisitor Fox.

"Greetings, Steven. As you already know, I am Inquisitor Fox."

Steven heard a very clear voice from the other side. He didn't understand why but just hearing that voice brought him great confidence.

Soon, Steven heard Inquisitor Fox continue, "Allow me to make my stance clear. The King hasn't given me any instructions to assist you. I have my own reasons to assist you."

Steven wasn't disappointed when he heard this. He had expected the King to stay out of this matter.

He replied sincerely, "I am delighted to have your support, Inquisitor Fox. I have heard nothing but good things about you."

Inquisitor Fox spoke, "I am truly happy to receive that praise, Steven. Now, if you don't mind, please tell me the situation. And I want the truth. I am not here to judge you about your decisions.. For me to assist you in this situation, I need to know exactly what happened and then create a plan corresponding to it."
