Chapter 975: Movement of the empire (2)
After taking out the folder, the prime minister pulled out a few maps from the pile of documents inside and placed them on the table.
I looked at the maps that he took out and found that they were maps of different countries. At the same time, there seemed to be different X marks that were placed on these different maps as if they were marking different locations.
I looked at the prime minister and raised a brow, but I didn’t say anything as I waited for him to explain.
He didn’t say anything as he kept pulling out more sheets of paper.
It seemed like there was more that he needed to say before he told me what was happening.
I peeked at the sheets of paper that he pulled out and it seemed that they were reports.
It was hard to read what was written with how densely the reports were written, so I just waited to see what he had to say.
But I did see a few key words.
Troops of the Holy Empire were spotted.
It seemed that the Holy Empire had indeed moved troops in response to the monster waves that were happening. However, that was to be expected since this was a great opportunity for them.
Religion relied on its followers and without followers, a religion didn’t have any power.
So for the Holy Empire, the most important thing was to gain more followers.
The monster wave had pushed the people of the various kingdoms into despair, so it was the best opportunity for the Holy Empire to provide hope for them. With this hope, it would convince these people to become followers of the Holy Empire’s religion.
That was most likely the main reason why the Holy Empire was intervening.
Of course, this wasn’t just based on these facts alone.
This was also based on what happened in the game.
The plot of the game was that the demons had caused the monster waves and then the Holy Empire interfered. However, it was just a device of the designers to get the Holy Empire involved in the plot of the game by having them interfere.
The Holy Empire came in and took advantage of the situation to gain more followers, but that also opened up the Holy Empire to the world.
After all, the Holy Empire was a place where normal people wouldn’t be able to enter.
It was the peak of religion in this world, the place where the highest ranking members of each religion gathered. It wasn’t a place that could be entered easily regardless of what one’s status was.
But with the influx of refugees because of the monster waves, the Holy Empire’s borders had relaxed and there were more people that were allowed to enter the Holy Empire. That was how the protagonist of the game was allowed to enter the Holy Empire regardless of status.
Whether they were allowed to stay or not after entering the Holy Empire all depended on their further actions.
Of course, that didn’t mean a thing to me since I didn’t have a problem entering the Holy Empire in the first place.
I was the king of a country and I had a close relationship with the priest from my town who had already reported the matter of the Mark of God back to the headquarters of his religion. If
I really wanted to go to the Holy Empire, it was an easy matter for me.
As for why the game wanted to open up the Holy Empire…
Nuns.
That was the only thing that needed to be said.
Unlike in my past world, since this world was based on a H-game, the nuns followed a different set of rules.
Namely, they didn’t need to remain virgins like in my past life.
They were allowed to have sex if they wanted to, but there were strict rules about that.
They couldn’t just do it freely, they could only do it with one that they received god’s blessing with.
So it was hard to actually get a nun just like in my past life, but it wasn’t impossible and it wasn’t immoral.
That was the reason why the Holy Empire was introduced.
Nuns really were one of the things that men couldn’t resist…
While I was lost in my thoughts, the prime minister had finished arranging everything that he wanted to take out. After placing the pieces of paper on the table, he said with a cough, “These are the movements that the Holy Empire has made so far. It seems like they’re starting from the countries around them, but they’re also moving towards us.”
The prime minister slightly knitted his brows as he said this before looking up at me.
The way that he looked at me, I could guess what he was trying to say.
We had found a way to deal with the monster waves on our own, but that would without a doubt draw the suspicion of the Holy Empire. After all, they would think that we would be related to the demons in some way since we were able to stop the monster waves.
Or they would think that we would have some kind of special relic that would suppress the powers of the demons.
Regardless of what it was, it would certainly make them suspicious of us.
It would make them want to confront us so that we would be forced to hand over whatever we used to deal with the monster waves.
After a moment of silence, I just gave a simple nod before saying, “Let them come, I have a way to deal with them.”
The prime minister raised a brow after hearing this, but he slowly gave a nod in response.
He didn’t know what I was planning on doing, but he just accepted it.
That was the trust that was between us.
“Other than that, it seems like the other empires are also making their moves.”
