Recently, the adventurers and residents of Valcalm have been discussing two things the most.

One was the execution of the sea creatures.

Another issue was the sudden closure of the central square.

Walcham was already a city with a large population, otherwise Laura wouldn't have started expanding as soon as she had a little money.

After the rise of adventurers and the increased prosperity of Val'kam, the central square became particularly crowded.

The Adventurers' Guild and the city defense soldiers have now jointly closed off the central square, forcing those who want to pass through to take a detour.

However, no one protested.

No one dared to protest.

But everyone is discussing it.

Every night, the investigators and city guards in charge of martial law manage to find some busybodies who want to investigate.

Some of them are information brokers who want to obtain firsthand information and then sell it for a good price.

Some of them are spies planted in Val'kam by other factions.

Some people are simply curious.

Without exception, all of these people were caught, paid a considerable fine, and were then "served" by the city lord's mansion with food and lodging provided.

If one were simply a resident of Warkam, one would not be able to imagine anything else about the strangeness in the central square.

But at almost the same time, similar scenes occurred in the cities of Glei, Xuelong, the royal city of Sodar, and Luca, a city between Sodar and Valkam!

The Holy Church of the Six Temples.

Looking at the information compiled by his subordinates, the Pope muttered to himself, "First they released news of the execution of eighth-tier sea creatures, and then they did something so unusual. What is the Kingdom of Nigar... no, what is the Adventurers' Guild planning to do?"

Ta-da-ta-da...

The sound of heels hitting the ground drew the attention of the white-haired pope.

The old pope looked up and saw a priest with a white blindfold and a seductive figure walking to the center of the hall.

"Your Holiness, the investigation team has returned and confirmed that the unknown powerful figure causing trouble within the Empire is from another world."

Moreover, the number of people from other worlds was so large that they even formed an army.

Furthermore, there are multiple clues suggesting that these otherworldly beings come from different dimensions.

However, these extradimensional beings are currently heading towards the Demon Realm.

Smedley relayed the information about the extradimensional beings to the old Pope.

Since Smedley became the vessel of the priest god, her status in the Holy Church has risen considerably.

Although he is only at the seventh rank now, he is already a high-ranking official at the headquarters of the Holy Church of the Roland Empire.

Apart from the Pope and a few bishops, they are basically the highest-ranking.

"An otherworldly army?"

The old pope turned around, looked at the solemn statue of the God of Priests behind him, and placed his hands on his chest, saying: "First there was the evil dragon on Dragon Island, then the strange movements of the sea race, and now there are people from another dimension."

It seems... everyone's treating Angomulos like an easy target.

At this point, the old pope suddenly raised his head, looking as if he had just realized something.

"I suddenly understand why Anuo publicly executed the eighth-tier powerhouse of the sea race!"

Aside from the God Realm and a few other powerful planes, those at the eighth rank are already considered strong in other planes.

A nation capable of executing several eighth-rank officials would make those who want to cause trouble first consider whether they have that ability.

This is a deterrent!

"However, what exactly is the purpose of simultaneously sealing off a not-so-large area in five cities?"

The old pope still couldn't understand it.

He turned to Smedley, thought for a moment, and said, "Smedley, you shouldn't investigate the otherworldly beings anymore. This operation is quite dangerous for you!"

What if we encounter an eighth-tier or stronger otherworldly being?

Smedley will likely be killed!

Previously, there had been instances within the empire of otherworldly beings killing high-ranking individuals.

This is why the Holy Church was able to investigate and discover people from another world.

Preliminary deduction suggests that the otherworldly beings acted because they discovered that a seventh-tier powerhouse of the empire was alone, and they decided to kill him to level up.

Although the otherworldly beings did not truly intend to oppose the Empire, their actions severely infringed upon the Empire's interests.

That's why the emperor of the empire ordered the swordsman to find the target.

And notify the three great temples located in the Roland Empire—the Holy Church, the Temple of Discipline, and the Blade of Conquest—to provide assistance.

Smedley didn't actually want to be treated specially.

But she also knew that she was now the vessel of the priest god.

Moreover, they were quite compatible – the priestess goddess Camilla was very fond of Smedley's body.

Therefore, she had no choice but to obey orders.

"However, you'll be going to the Kingdom of Nigar next!"

The old pope handed the intelligence report about Anno's recent actions to Smedley, saying, "News from the Kingdom of Nigal indicates that the kingdom's southern border soldiers are at a disadvantage in the war with the sea creatures."

In the end, it was Anno who appeared in the Southern Territory, repelled the sea creatures, and captured a group of high-ranking sea creatures, preparing to execute them in a month... Now, they are to be executed in twenty days!

"The scale of the attack on the sea tribes in the southern border of the kingdom is a piece of cake for Anno. He probably didn't take action before because he wanted to train the kingdom's soldiers!"

Smedley looked intently at the information about Anno, without a trace of shock on his face.

Having fought alongside Anno multiple times, Smedley had gained a relatively clear understanding of Anno's strength.

Especially the divine war in the Dwarf Kingdom.

Although Anno almost died, it is undeniable that Anno's strength on the battlefield was enough to rival an entire legion!

After reviewing the intelligence for a while, Smedley looked up and said, "You want me to investigate the strange phenomenon of five cities being simultaneously sealed off in one area?"
