Chapter 573
“Send word to the temples of Atakshah, Higal, and Karima.”
“Are you only planning to send it to those three places?”
Gaul asked in response to Rishur’s words. He was no longer an individual. He was the king of a kingdom. That meant to punish them, he would have to wage war against a kingdom.
No matter how strong the monks and paladins were, waging war against a kingdom with only the strength of three temples was clearly impossible.
“I will speak to the Emperor myself.”
Naturally, he did not intend to rely solely on the strength of those three temples. Rishur was well aware of the kingdom’s power. He planned to speak with the Emperor and send knights and soldiers alongside them.
“And with the strength of the Kingdom of Alion added, it should be sufficient.”
That wasn’t all. Sending the intelligence meant friction had arisen. The Kingdom of Alion would also lend its strength to mete out punishment.
“Understood. I will relay it immediately.”
Gaul rose from his seat at Lishur’s words. After bowing, he exited the room.
“There’s nowhere left to run now.”
Rishur murmured, a smile playing on his lips. There was nowhere left to run. Well, he could run, but if he did, he would lose everything.
“It’s over now.”

“The Empire is truly the Empire.”
Pata muttered in astonishment as he looked at the documents before him.
“Three thousand monks, five thousand paladins, and six thousand priests. Five thousand knights, twenty thousand soldiers.”
