Chapter 261
At the end of the pilgrimage, war began in the Holy Empire.
The Saxon Duke’s pride, the Death Order, the army of the dead.

“I remember when you were born. The entire Eurasian continent, Africa, and the Americas had already been laid waste by the monsters. Yet you said this.”
Dale, the hero, said without hesitation.
“Don’t give up hope.”
