This is a cathedral situated in the capital of Cohen Kingdom, d by the nobles and citizens of Cohen Kingdom.
It is also the largest Holy Light Cathedral in Cohen Kingdom and its surroundings.
The bishop—Avaken, is currently in a transcription room within the cathedral.
Holding a pen flowing with Magic Power, he is writing something on a scroll filled with Magic Power.
"How are those Blood Race now?"
He asked while writing. Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽
Behind him, a Holy Knight responded: "Bishop, after the Blood Race took the land north of the El River, they did not continue to advance.
They should be digesting the lands they’ve already conquered."
Hearing this, the bishop sighed.
"How many civilians have not been evacuated?"
The Archbishop put down the pen in his hand, turned around, and looked at the knight behind him with a puzzled expression.
The fallen land now accounts for almost half of Cohen Kingdom, including several Count territories, and that Prince’s Territory.
The information had already been transmitted to the residences of these Counts when they were about to be breached.
However, they dragged their feet when evacuating the refugees.
In such a situation, only 2 million people remaining on such vast lands is already considered a very good outcome.
But the knight’s face was heavy, and he sighed: "Those are just the recorded civilians, there are many unrecorded people, as well as the servants of the nobles."
Hearing this, the bishop’s eyebrows furrowed.
He was naturally cursing the worthless nobles of Cohen Kingdom, which are abundant in any kingdom.
Just by different names.
In the hands of those nobles are large numbers of serf servants, not to mention there are many poor people, many wanderers in society.
These simply cannot be counted.
But the bishop is more concerned about the number of people who have fallen into the hands of the Blood Race, not knowing how many will become a source of military power for the Blood Race.
Thinking of this, he asked: "Any reply from the Great Cathedral?"
Based on previous information, the bishop knew that in the Great Cathedral and the international conference organized by the Holy Light Church, the Archbishop had already discussed the current Blood Race issue with many countries.
According to his inside information, if things went smoothly, the Blood Race would become a target of many.
It’s been almost 4 months since the fall of Gray Rock Fortress, and there is still no definitive news.
By the time the news is confirmed and the troops are gathered, it will take a long time.
By then, who knows how much disaster the Blood Race Royal Court would have caused.
The Holy Knight shook his head.
Letting the bishop sigh.
At this moment, a knock on the door was heard outside, and after opening, a Holy Knight stood there.
"What’s the matter?" the bishop asked.
"The latest news, those Blood Race have begun attacking from the sea by ship. They have already captured Sanxia Harbor in the Mink Alliance.
Flower Islands have also suffered attacks, and according to reports, the Land of Chaos has been invaded."
Upon hearing this news, the bishop stood still, his eyebrows knitted together.
"What are they doing? What’s the point of launching attacks on so many forces simultaneously?"
The bishop couldn’t help but question himself.
The Holy Knight beside him also said in confusion: "These Blood Race monsters are truly insane, but the defenses at the El River will at least be more relaxed."
After figuring out some things, the bishop shook his head: "They might have never intended to continue advancing; taking that half of the territory might be enough."
Just like what was known in the meeting at Gray Rock Fortress, the Blood Race wanted to open up land passages and acquire enough population.
The region east of the El River in Cohen Kingdom is sufficient, not to mention there are several ports and many ships there.
As for the virtually confirmed means of the Blood Race to search for Creation Stone Fragments, it has long been taken into account.
After receiving these pieces of information, the bishop calmed his mind and turned back to continue transcribing something on the scroll.
But he still intermittently asked.
"Is Her Highness the Saintess’s mission going smoothly?"
"It’s going relatively smoothly, the cultists in Golden Wheat City have been completely cleared. But due to the influence of the cultists, it will take a long time for this city to recover.
In Beihua Harbor, the number of cultists is too large, and they seem to have been hiding there for quite some time. Some nobles are also providing assistance to them.
Her Highness the Saintess is now primarily focused on clearing out the cultists there."
The expansion of the Blood Race Royal Court has caused those cultists in their army to expand rapidly.
These cultists are pervasive, scattering everywhere, and many have mingled into refugee camps, spreading the belief in the Evil God within.
Now, many places in Cohen Kingdom have already fallen into chaos.
Cultists are appearing almost everywhere now, in some villages and wilderness areas; one can even find villages nearly wiped out.
It’s a series of sacrificial ritual sites.
These cultists have become so rampant that they ignore all laws.
The bishop suddenly thought of the Night Watchers and asked: "Any news from the Night Watchers? Or from the Eastern Wilderness."
"No, all the roads leading there have been almost completely cut off, and there are Blood Race warships on the sea.
