As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

"Why not? Mr. Roy is the benefactor who invited Jinsha to join us, regardless of past grudges. He is also the hope of unity in the Western Continent. His safety is a great blessing for all the people of Jinsha!"

Jason shut up.

It turns out that he is the only one who is redundant...

Chapter 113: Consistent Position

After calming the girls down, Roy explained the whole story to everyone present.

The truth behind the cultists' attack, Alice's current situation, and the conspiracy of the Church of Holy Light.

The matter of destiny is difficult to explain, but the identity of the saint alone is enough to become the fuse that makes the church excited.

Whether it was the [Holy Nun] or the princes of the two countries, their expressions looked grim.

Putting aside the true intentions behind the church, the fact that they did not hesitate to use cultists for strategic purposes, causing countless deaths and injuries, has already crossed the bottom line of humanity.

Ironically, the concept of the three public enemies of humanity was first proposed by the Church of Holy Light. Who would have thought that they would be the first to violate the iron rule they established.

"So you've been hiding until now to avoid the Church's eyes?" Nia felt guilty and embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I got angry at you without knowing anything..."

"It's okay. It was my fault for not informing you immediately."

And your slap didn't do much harm...

Looking at the girl's hands which were still red and swollen, Roy wanted to laugh.

Looking back at everyone, Roy's expression became serious: "In short, the church wants to take Alice away and take her power."

"And I want to get Alice back."

"A head-on conflict with the church will be inevitable."

"Therefore, I invite you all to join forces and fight against the Church of Holy Light."

Since the Third Era, countless human regimes have risen and fallen, but only the rule of the Church of Holy Light remains as stable as ever, firmly occupying the Eastern Continent.

The most powerful force in the entire human world to date.

So far, no country or camp has dared to be its enemy.

However, the boy's proposal was unexpectedly weighty.

The girl next to him at this moment alone is already one-third of the power of the Western Continent.

The leader of White Harbor, Sister Saint Theresa, was the first to respond.

"Don't worry, White Harbor will stand by you."

"Deliberately allowing the cult to invade White Harbor is an evil act that violates the Holy Light Canon and even the bottom line of humanity. Not to mention that they also want to get involved with the high-ranking Saint Lady and commit illegal acts."

"Simon and his accomplices have violated the Goddess's path. They deserve the judgment of the Holy Light!"

Theresa's voice was powerful, her expression was resolute, and her words were righteous, making her worthy of the title of hero.

Of course, her real motivation was quite personal: she simply wanted to uncover the cause of death of the First Saint and the secrets of the Church, and at most, she wanted to seek justice for White Harbor.

But external publicity always requires a name.

Holy light is orthodoxy, eliminate evil and treacherous people, and take back the saint. Such a good title should not be wasted.

Putting aside private matters, Theresa has always been able to pretend to be someone she is not in front of others.

If you want to fight against the church, you must seize all the power you can.

Roy had already discussed this with Theresa, otherwise he would not have hidden in the White Harbor Church.

But he couldn't explain the two princes' positions.

Roy nodded to Theresa, then looked at Douglas: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Unexpectedly, Douglas was extremely straightforward.

"I promise you."

"I know this is a bit of a strong guy... huh?"

"The Holy Light Church, which looks down on the name of the inland East Continent and us, or my fellow countrymen from the West Continent, who share the same roots and treat me like family and friends, it's not difficult to choose."

"What's more..."

Douglas cast a fiery look at Roy: "Mr. Roy has been planning for this day for a long time, hasn't he?"

All the doubts that had been bothering Douglas were finally answered.

Uniting the forces of the Western Continent to compete with the Eastern Continent was exactly what Roy had secretly planned.

He had already discovered the Holy Maiden of Destiny, so he personally protected her in order to prevent this power from being used by the Church of Holy Light.

Take the world as your responsibility.

What is a pattern?This is called pattern!

Douglas calls himself a king, worries about the country and the people, and bears the fate of Jinsha on his shoulders.

But compared with Roy, his vision is still small!

On one side is Roy, who cares about the safety of mankind and unites all forces. On the other side is the church that claims to be just and kind, but secretly uses cultists to persecute the saint.

It's not a difficult choice.

Even if we put aside the factors of geopolitics and interests, out of personal admiration, he would rather support Roy!

Not to mention, the influence of the Holy Light Church on Jinsha is extremely limited.

"Mr. Roy, please don't hesitate to let Jinsha help you!"

"...Thank you."

Although he was grateful for Douglas's help, the other party's overly enthusiastic look always made him feel uneasy.

Jinsha is located inland and is not afraid of the church in principle, but it also has no reason to take action against it.

Roy did not ask for an alliance with Sands, but only for some financial sponsorship. Dog Ear did not expect Douglas's fighting spirit to be so high.

"What about Mr. Jason?"

"you ask me?"

The blue-haired prince rubbed his eyes, his gaze hidden in the reflection of the mirror, appearing sinister and unpredictable.

Compared to Douglas, Roy had no hope at all for the Prince of the South China Sea and just asked casually.

After all, apart from resentment, there is no friendship between them at all, and Lionheart has nothing to do with the South Sea either.

"Do you know what you're talking about?!"

"That's the Holy Light Church that rules the entire Eastern Continent and boasts several high-ranking transcendents!"

"To fight against such a huge monster, this, this, this..."

"This is a rare feat, please let me join!"

Roy: “…?”

I guessed the beginning, but not the end.

I can understand the first few sentences, why is the last sentence so weird?

"you sure?"

"I am sure!"

Jason's aura is even more exaggerated than Douglas's. Under his glasses, he is unparalleled in his determination.

Jason has always been chasing fame and fortune.

However, the South China Sea country, far away from the inland conflicts, is as peaceful as it can be except for the tsunami and sea monsters.

After a lot of effort, the cultists finally started to make trouble in the past two years, but they were suppressed by some external forces before long. Jason even felt unhappy that his credit was stolen.

But all of this disappeared at this moment.

Fighting with Douglas, fighting with Lyanna, and fighting with Roy were at best just minor fights between classmates.

It's boring, so boring.

But fighting against the Church of Holy Light is a big stage that is truly worthy of being recorded in history!

In such a grand event, regardless of success or failure, Jason Ousang has to be involved and let future generations talk about it, right?!

"Roy, with the South China Sea Country here, you don't have to worry about problems at sea anymore!"

The two princes made harsh remarks one after another, saying that they would follow his lead.

This was the help he needed, but Roy looked strange at the moment.

Are our relationships really that good?

Douglas was fine, but Roy racked his brains but couldn't figure out why the South China Sea Kingdom was at odds with the Church.

These two princes in the original work are obviously difficult to talk to.

Could it be that they are doing this for me?

It was a bit narcissistic to think so, but that was all Roy could think.

Just like Charlotte and the others were turned straight by me, could it be that my charm was so great that I turned the two princes... gay?!

Roy was terrified when he thought about it, and when he looked at the fiery gazes of the two princes, he suddenly felt the air was scorching and he felt unwell all over.

Chapter 114: Layout

Contrary to Roy's expectations, it didn't take much effort for everyone to establish a unified stance against the church.

Karl asked indifferently, "Since you're proposing to become an enemy of the church, you have a chance of winning, right?"

"Uniting all the forces of the Western Continent to fight against the Church of Holy Light is no small matter and cannot be solved by courage alone."

As one of the princes' own, Carl took the initiative to play the bad guy, and also asked the two princes questions about the topics they cared about.

Positions are positions, and the odds of winning are odds. No one will fight a battle that is bound to be lost.

As a veteran noble, Carl's analysis was well-organized and to the point: "The first thing to consider is the reputation of being hostile to the Church. At this stage, the Church of Holy Light has an absolute advantage in public opinion. Even if the use of the cult is true, you lack the corresponding evidence."

"The second is intelligence gathering and military confrontation. The former can help us take the initiative, while the latter is simply a military advantage. The Inquisition has spies all over White Harbor, and this time, the Church brought at least a hundred Templar Knights and over a thousand regular soldiers. These are all troublesome."

"The most important thing is the three high-level transcendents." Speaking of this, Carl couldn't help but frown. "In terms of high-level combat power, the church has an absolute advantage."

No matter how well he did in other aspects, he would not be able to turn the tide of defeat if he could not defeat the three high-level transcendents.

Ten thousand soldiers might have a chance of taking down a mid-level transcendent, but a high-level transcendent was too powerful to be taken down by sheer numbers. Furthermore, the manpower they could mobilize in a short period of time was very limited.

Theresa and the two princes remained silent, casting scrutinizing glances at Roy.

Roy's answer would reveal the laughter of his chances of winning, and thus determine how much effort they were willing to devote.

In response, Roy remained calm and answered the questions one by one.

"There's no need to worry about the greater good. We won't have a large-scale conflict with the church, and the church thinks the same way."

The cultists and demons are still there, and even the Pope is unwilling to waste time on internal conflicts with his fellow humans in the Western Continent.

Likewise, for them, going into all-out war with the Church at this stage is neither wise nor beneficial.

"Our goal is to recapture Alice, not to completely destroy the Church. Ultimately, whoever becomes the Saint will naturally claim the title of righteousness."

"As for intelligence and manpower..."

"Hehe, just leave this to me!" The elf girl jumped out impatiently.

"No matter how many spies the Inquisition has, they are still a bunch of outsiders. How can they be more numerous than adventurers?"

Lyanna also spoke leisurely in the group: "Well, I can help a little with the intelligence."

The Adventurer's Guild has always maintained a good relationship with the Emerald Council, providing intelligence from all over the world to the reclusive descendants of elves.

Lyanna herself possessed numerous reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance abilities, including [Unseen Shadow] and [Shadow of the Dark Serpent]. The two princes were well aware of this and knew she was reliable.

"In terms of manpower, the help White Harbor can provide is very limited." Theresa smiled bitterly.

"The Knights of White Harbor must be a key target of the Church's vigilance. Any movement will alert them. Moreover, our paratroopers have already suffered heavy losses in the previous battle with the cultists."

"So, we need to rely on assistance from outside White Harbor for military strength." Roy looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess beside him.
