Chapter 186: Just You Wait

Despite 『』 trying to shift the blame, Celica didn’t mind at all. This is the confidence of the first church on the continent; they are not afraid of these shadowy churches.

"You will pay for your actions."

The black robe threw out a black card, and a black light covered the area.

"Sophia!"

『』 pushed Sophia.

Suddenly, Sophia threw a bunch of cards directly at the black robe.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light swept toward the black robe like a storm.

Various golden special effects covered the entire area. Before the black robe could even react, it was blasted by the Holy Light summoned by Sophia!

"You…" the black-robed priest almost coughed up blood, "How dare you use our power against us!"

"How did she manage so many cards?" Celica was completely stunned.

"We’ll talk later." Null spoke, "How’s the magic power?"

"I… am fully healed," said Celica, gripping the sword in her hand with a bloodthirsty smile on her face. "These two guys can be captured alive!"

……

As night fell, at Colloa Manor in Canglang Province.

"Osiris, you scoundrel, quickly withdraw your troops from the City of Freedom!" Grand Duke Luxembourg angrily glared at the projection of Grand Duke Osiris.

"Withdraw? I only sent them to rescue Her Royal Highness Princess Teresa of the Presea Empire. What’s the matter?" Osiris sat calmly, pretending not to know anything.

"My army was in battle with the rebels and emerged victorious, yet your forces have occupied the City of Freedom, blocking our entry. Are you declaring war on me?" Grand Duke Luxembourg gritted his teeth.

This Osiris is just an old rogue.

Are his troops entering the City of Freedom like locusts passing through?

The property in the City of Freedom belongs to wealthy individuals from various countries. When they come to reclaim it, who will take the blame?

"I don’t understand what you’re saying," Osiris Colloa yawned, "Luxembourg, we need to be reasonable. Her Royal Highness Princess Teresa of the Presea Empire had an accident in your territory, and you couldn’t rescue her in time. Whose fault is that?"

"Is it wrong for Emperor Augustus to send troops to rescue his daughter? He just couldn’t gather too many soldiers hastily, so he borrowed many from me. I don’t have any commanding authority."

"If you want answers, you should go find Emperor Augustus."

"You…" Luxembourg was taken aback, "I don’t believe you can’t control your army! Don’t forget, you are the duke of Persia, not Presea. You’re betraying your own country by doing this."

"No, I am solving the kingdom’s problems and cleaning up after you. Think about it, if something happened to Her Royal Highness Princess Teresa, what would occur? It could lead to war between Presea Empire and the Kingdom of Persia!" Osiris said seriously, "By sending troops to assist them, we are showing the kingdom’s stance, aren’t we? Even if something happens to Her Royal Highness Princess Teresa, at least we made efforts, and Emperor Augustus can’t say much."

"Speaking bluntly, by not doing things well and preventing capable people from resolving the situation, it seems like you want the kingdom to fall!

"Don’t forget, it was your marquis who had the mishap, I suspect the incident in the City of Freedom is related to you!"

"Are you saying you won’t withdraw your troops no matter what?" Luxembourg frowned.

"As I said, this has nothing to do with me, it’s an issue of the Presea Empire. You can speak with Emperor Augustus about it," Osiris showed a slight smile, "If you disagree, go report me to His Majesty! Of course, if you can, feel free to open fire at my army directly."

Luxembourg’s face turned pale and then blue.

He only wanted Osiris to withdraw his troops, so his losses would be smaller.

Go negotiate with the Presea Empire? He doesn’t have the courage for that.

……

Presea Empire, the palace, and Emperor Augustus’s bedroom.

"Ahem…" Emperor Augustus looked at the image of the king of Persia and calmly asked, "Is something the matter so early?"

Luxembourg’s reluctance to negotiate did not mean the king wouldn’t dare.

After all, as the highest leader of a kingdom, with Presea’s army advancing into the City of Freedom, the king couldn’t remain indifferent.

"Augustus, what do you mean?" the king said sternly. "Your army entering the City of Freedom, is it a declaration of war against the Kingdom of Persia? If you want war, we will respond. The Canglang Province will be our first line of defense."

"I just sent soldiers to rescue my daughter." Augustus said calmly, "My daughter had trouble in the City of Freedom, everyone lost contact, as a father, I feel sorry for my daughter. Is there a problem?"

"But you shouldn’t send troops!" The king slammed the table hard, "This is an international issue, you are invading my country’s territory!"

"So what?" Augustus raised an eyebrow.

The king was speechless.

"Your actions are reckless. Do you think a powerful country can do whatever they want?" The king criticized.

A well-dressed old man appeared next to Emperor Augustus, he handed a paper to Augustus.

Augustus frowned slightly, and asked, "Is that so?"

"Yes…" the man looked helpless, "You don’t want the whole world to be your enemy, right?"

"From an international perspective, I am indeed in the wrong in this matter, even if it is for the sake of my daughter." Emperor Augustus reluctantly said, "But, we are providing international assistance. You have also seen that with the limited capability of the local authorities, they cannot solve the issues in the City of Freedom. This time, besides my daughter, I am also considering the well-being of all mankind."

"Your Kingdom of Persia almost lost the whole Canglang Province because of this incident. I believe you won’t have a problem dealing with the rampage in the dungeon this time, and providing international assistance is also because of our close relationship."

"We didn’t inform your country immediately because the communication magic station was damaged by mice at that time, so we had to send a messenger with a letter."

"If you haven’t received it yet, there must have been a delay along the way. I will investigate the specific reasons."

The king suppressed his anger and although Emperor Augustus suddenly became much more polite, his intention remained the same, which was that he was justified in sending troops.

"Alright, now that the international assistance is over and the matter is resolved, can your country withdraw its troops?" the king said sternly.

In the end, the Kingdom of Persia still lacked the courage to go to war with the Presea Empire, unless Grand Duke Osiris stood on the kingdom’s side.

But the truth was… currently Grand Duke Osiris has sent troops to help Presea.

"Of course, we will expedite the repairs to the magic array. Three days later, we will definitely withdraw our troops."

"Three days?" the king exclaimed.

"Two days is okay."

"You are taking advantage of the situation!" the king exclaimed angrily.

"No, I am a good person through and through."

"You just wait and see!" the king could not hold back anymore.

A weak country has no say against a strong country.
