Compared with humans, the buildings in the Orc Kingdom appear more simple and simple. They advocate madness and grandness. The palace was built tall and large. Pazaka pulled his younger brother Aaron through this tall and quaint palace and fell to his knees in front of King Mengkara.

The thick and quaint stone pillars are lined with huge thrones and stairs that are high above, and the exposed pairs of eyes that are very different from humans. They have beastly eyes that make Pazaka feel cold on his back. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the legendary orc king who likes to be cannibalized on the stairs.

"His Majesty, our great king, we offer you the highest respect. This is the gift we bring. I hope you can accept and accept us."

The king of Mengkara, a half-old leopard man, took over the sword of royal power, and showed a greedy and obsessive look in his eyes. He had no intention of looking at the two humans in front of him. He only had the gorgeous long sword in front of him. He waved his hand and saw them retreat: "Is this the sword of kings in the legend? Whoever has his power can become the master of the entire Alan Continent?"

A cat-man official came out and said in a flattering manner: "That's right, it is said that whoever can inspire the power of the sword of royal power is the king appointed by God. However, as of now, no one can inspire his power. Even the pope of the Church of Light in the legend cannot inspire the divine power in it. Even so, the Church of Light has reigned with its power to rule most of the human kingdoms."

"And now, he fell into your hands."

King Mengkara laughed, looking very satisfied, holding the sword of royal power in his hand, as if he was feeling the power in it: "Ah, I feel as if the eyes of God are staring at me."

A tauren general behind him stood up: "Your Majesty, this is just a sword. Why do we offend the most powerful church of light for mankind for it? Your Majesty, please allow me to say it directly. This is not a wise choice."

King Mengkara immediately glanced at General Taurus with dissatisfaction, and his green beast eyes showed a irritable mood: "Are you saying I'm stupid?"

The general immediately fell to his knees: "I dare not, but we offended the Church of Light, and they would never give up. For this sword of royal power, they are very likely to go to war with us. We have not had a war with humanity for decades, and peace has come. Why do we provoke disputes at this time?"

King Mengkara snorted coldly and immediately said, "Don't worry, the King of the Cretan Empire, Iliad VIII, was seriously injured and dying, and the alternation of the throne could occur at any time. At this time, the Church of Light could not mobilize the nobles and all troops of the Cretan Empire to launch a war against us."

"There are four garrisons in the church of Light. At present, 10,000 cavalry of the Knights of Light have been dispatched. The remaining three legions must be left at least two that cannot be mobilized. Moreover, we still have internal supporters in the Cretan Empire, so there is no need to be afraid. They dare not fight. At this time, they are powerless to start a war against us."

"And if the Church of Light wants to get this King's Sword back, it must pay enough price. Hahaha, why don't I do such a good deal? Such a huge benefit fell from the sky. I must let the Church of Light bring me enough gold, silver and treasures, weapons and horses. What we wanted but couldn't get before can be obtained at one time. But I know that the Church of Light is rich."

King Mengkara held the sword of royal power high, stepped on the animal skin carpet under his feet, and returned to the throne: "As long as we have it, we will not be afraid that the Church of Light will not agree."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

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

A week later, in the Church of Light, in the city of St. Sal in recent days, letters from afar have been reported to the Pope's Holy Hall one by one, and the Pope and the four purple-robed cardinals all sat down.

Cardinal of Purple Clothing Asher was the first to speak: "We will never agree to the request of the Kingdom of Mengkara. This is a trampling on the glory of the gods. What do they want to do? They steal our holy objects and then blackmail us? If they agree to their conditions, the face and prestige of our Light Church will be gone."

Another cardinal in purple said: "But we are currently unable to launch a war against the Kingdom of Mengkara. We can mobilize up to 30,000 Knights of Light and the Knights of Holy Glory. Even if we add the garrison of Cardinal in Red Leon of the Cretan Empire, we have only more than 50,000 troops, and the Kingdom of Mengkara can mobilize 80,000 conventional troops."

"Even if we don't have the elite troops, it is enough to withstand our attack. And the longer the time is, they will be able to launch a recruitment order and mobilize an army of 100,000 or even 200,000. Furthermore, several other kingdoms or large city-state tribes in the Orc Kingdom will also send troops to increase their troops."

The thin purple-clothed Cardinal opposite was newly added, and he also expressed his opinion at this moment: "And according to the message sent by Director Sean, the sudden emergence and destruction of the Dark Council this time happened too coincidental and sudden. He felt that there was a conspiracy. Although we captured many members of the noble council and even had a detailed list, this made me feel too easy, which was completely different from the previous cautious and rigorous style of the Dark Council."

"According to Director Shaun's judgment, all this is likely to be related to Duke Vodigan of the Cretan Empire. And according to the news, His Highness Iliad VIII has not been able to hold on for long. His physique is already at its extreme. This serious injury has already put him to the limit. Even if there is a priest who maintains his life, it is probably..."

Pope Hodep closed his eyes, as if listening to their discussion, and seemed to be trapped in his own thinking. At this time, there was a movement outside the Holy Council Hall. Saint Kelly walked in with several god servants. Compared with a few years ago, the Saint became more mature, with a holy aura and appearance, and even no difference from the goddess of light in the statue of the god.

"The sword of royal power cannot be lost. This time I went there myself. No matter what conspiracies or tricks the Cretan Empire had or the orc kingdom of the Monkara Kingdom, insulting the existence of the glory of the Church of Light, they would never tolerate their continued existence."

Pope Hodep stood up and greeted His Highness: "Oh, no, you are the core of the Church of Light, the blood of the gods and the symbol of the divine power. With you, there will be no problems in the Church of Light, and there will be no problems in the city of St. Sar. Your Highness will leave here and even have an accident. The whole church will be in turmoil. It has not reached this point yet, and I am ready to deal with it."

Hodop turned his head and said, "Issue the Holy Decree of the Pope to Duke Vodigan of the Cretan Empire, and crown him as His Majesty the next emperor of the Cretan Empire, Asher, you will personally go to the city of Nya to hold a coronation ceremony for him."

"At the same time, you will take my oral orders and ask him to support us with all his strength and attack the Kingdom of Mengkara. I will order the Knights of the Holy Light and the Priests of the Judgment to accompany you. There will also be an order to bring to Chalz. This time, we must fight quickly."

Hodop's tone was cold and he completely forgot that the last Cretan Emperor, Iliad VIII, had not really died yet, but no one present regarded him as a living person anymore.

"The judging priests are also going to be mobilized? Then I'll rest assured. This time I will let them know how terrible the judgment from the Holy Light is." Asher immediately stood up and accepted the order.

The Saint looked at Hodp, and Hodp immediately said: "I understand what Your Highness meant. I have sent a message to Sean, Director of the Judgment Department, to investigate whether Duke Vodigan is related to the Dark Council and the theft of the Holy Sword. At present, the most important thing is to stabilize the situation and retrieve the Holy Sword first, so that we can maintain the majesty of our Light Church."
