Chapter 635

The Holy Empire Pope’s Chamber.
“What about Helioqua?”
Rishur asked. Although the Emperor hadn’t provided troops, Rishur couldn’t simply leave the Helio Empire alone after its declaration of war. He had mobilized every force within his power. Now, quite some time after mobilizing those forces, Rishur was curious about the Helio Empire’s current situation.
“The Kingdom of Oriya and the Kingdom of Bar should be able to capture one castle within a few days. The Kingdom of Aris will likely take a little longer.”
Gaul answered Rishur’s question. The Kingdom of Oriya, the Kingdom of Bar, and the Kingdom of Aris—all bordering the Heliocha Empire—had been drawn into the alliance. With substantial support, they attacked the Heliocha Empire.
No matter how powerful the Heliocha Empire was, facing the combined might of three kingdoms—especially those strengthened by the support of the Holy Empire—proved difficult. They were gradually being pushed back.
“Very good.”
Lishur wore a satisfied smile. Yet, despite Lishur’s contented expression, Gaul’s face remained grim.
And for good reason. While the report on the Heliocha Empire he had just delivered had been a pleasant one, the report he was about to give was far from pleasant.
But he had no choice but to report it now, so Gaul opened his mouth, looking at Rishur, who was wearing a satisfied smile.
“I have more to report.”
“…?”
“The High Priest, Priests, Paladins, and Monks who were dispatched to the Kingdom of Garin have all vanished.”
