Chapter 146
“What on earth has happened here!”
In the cathedral of the Labyrinth City, a chamber where the leadership of the Great Demon Alliance had gathered.
There, Master Templar, representing the church, and Borennus, the high elder of the White Tower, raised their voices.
“While two priests and deacons of the Church were being murdered in the square, what on earth was the Black Armor Company—tasked with guarding the city—doing amidst this chaos!”
“Well, they’re still busy maintaining peace in the Demon King’s domain. ──Not here in this labyrinth city.”
Dale said.
“Have you forgotten that guarding this Demon King’s Domain is your calling?!”
Master Templar raised his voice.
“Don’t think we’ll fall for your empty tricks—handing over the Demon King’s Command to us and then twiddling your thumbs behind the scenes.”
“I understand that point perfectly well. And as one of the representatives of the Great Demon Clan Alliance, I am prepared to fulfill my duty willingly, quite apart from having offered this region to the Church.”
Dale shrugged his shoulders and continued.
“But at least the adventurers in the Labyrinth City aren’t ‘demons,’ are they?”
Dale countered.
“Moreover, since this labyrinth city has been consecrated to the church, I cannot exert any influence over the execution of duties within the domain under the rule of immunity. Therefore, my sole obligation is to confront the ‘demons’—not the people of this city.”
