Who taught him to restore his country like this?

On this day, they were all fully armed and waiting at the border of Stargate Fortress, just waiting for Ron's orders to advance as quickly as possible.

They waited until late at night, but still no instructions came.

Outside the dungeon.

Upon seeing Ron emerge, Lawrence, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

"Your Majesty Ron, is there any progress on the matter of Stargate Fortress?"

He knew that if the Kingdom of Lah met the conditions for the Great Demon Lilith's counterattack, even if Ron was omniscient and omnipotent, he would have no way to turn the tide.

However, as long as he didn't get a definite answer from Ron, he would always hold onto a sliver of hope for Ron.

"Not yet, go back and rest." Ron walked past Lawrence with a complicated expression and a deep sense of exhaustion in his voice.

Lawrence watched Ron's departing figure, wanting to say something but holding back.

He wanted to ask Ron Orantia directly if she was beyond saving, but he was afraid of getting a positive answer.

In the end, I still couldn't bring myself to ask.

Seeing that trouble hadn't followed, Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid that Lawrence would relentlessly pursue his questions until he got what he wanted.

After all, when he made the decision to abandon Stargate Fortress, the Kingdom of Lah completely lost its ability to contend with the Great Demon Lilith.

Even if he wanted to push them forward, there was nothing he could do.

Of course, the truth that is detrimental to unity should be revealed as late as possible.

Otherwise, he would be useless as king, and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Lah, without a goal to strive for, would soon fall apart.

For him, who had already planned out the details of his escape, the best he could do was to delay for as long as possible and focus on making sure he was well-fed first.

As for saving Orantia, that's just a matter of course, there's no rush at all.

……

Back at the manor.

As soon as Ron entered the central hall, a maid came up to report: "Your Majesty Ron, Lady Keltia of the Radiant Church has come to visit you."

What is this woman trying to do now?

"Where are they?" Ron asked.

"Lady Kertia is waiting for you in the reception room."

"Ah."

Ron nodded and walked toward the reception room on the second floor.

Bang bang.

He knocked on the door.

"Please come in," came Keltia's ethereal and clear voice.

Ron opened the door and first observed the number of people in the room.

This time, it was just Keltia alone.

She sat serenely on the guest sofa, her petite figure upright, her hands folded on her lap, her radiant eyes gazing toward the door.

Ron entered the room, closed the door, and sat down opposite her.

Without any unnecessary pleasantries, he went straight to the point and asked, "What brings you here so late?"

His words lacked the respect he had before, and his cold attitude made Kertia feel slightly uncomfortable.

But Ron did many commendable things in Kassel, making it impossible for her, who was in the wrong, to bring up the old grievances of being taken advantage of multiple times before.

Okay, let's get down to business.

"Has the Kingdom of Lah been attacked by the demons?" Kertia asked.

“Yes,” Ron replied calmly, without hiding anything.

What is the reason?

“It’s the work of a villain.” Ron stared at Kertia.

Kertia remained silent.

She had also heard about what happened to Ron in the dungeon today.

"You came to me just to ask this?" Ron thought Kertia was being a bit boring.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Kertia spoke up, "The Church of Truth has intervened in this matter."

Oh?

Has the Vatican intervened?

Ron, who had just lifted his buttocks, sat back down, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

The three highest-ranking deities in this world are the God of Light, the God of Wisdom, and the God of Grace.

Corresponding to them are the three major papal courts that take turns presiding over the war of the divine kingdom: the Radiant Papacy, the Truth Papacy, and the Holy Grace Papacy.

The Church of Truth is the most intolerant of any dissent; wherever its fists strike, it is considered truth!

“The Holy Son of the Church of Truth is on his way to Kassel,” Kertia continued.

"Has the Church of Truth found a way to break the Divine Purification Chain Array?" Ron asked curiously.

“You may not know this, but no lie or deception can hide from the Holy Son of the Church of Truth,” Kertia said, her eyes fixed on Ron’s expression.

If Ron's purpose in coming to the Kingdom of Orantia was a lie, then he should be flustered in the face of the approaching Son of Truth.

"Truly impressive, worthy of being the Holy Son of the Church of Truth," Ron clapped his hands in praise with a forced smile.

Then, he resumed his poker face: "So, has the Church of Truth found a solution?"

"...The Church of Truth has already obtained the method to break the Chain Divine Purification Array from the Bruwerman Empire," Kertia said.

"What is it?"

“Destroy the source of the core of the Divine Purification Array—the Elemental Source Stone.”

"How do you plan to destroy it?"

"Kill Princess Karina!"

Chapter 68 Seriously? They dare to spread rumors about God?

Magic Stones are born from Elemental Stones, and their abilities also come from Elemental Stones, just like apples growing on an apple tree. If you pull up the apple tree, the apples on the tree will gradually rot.

The Bruveman Empire did not lie, and of course, it could not lie before the Eye of Truth of the Son of Truth.

Destroying the Elemental Stone is indeed one of the ways to break the deadlock in the Kingdom of Orantia.

The Origin Stone has fused with Princess Karina's body, and to destroy the Origin Stone, Princess Karina must be killed.

This is a very cruel thing. Karina grew up in Orantia, a place that was constantly at war with the demons. She was deeply influenced and taught by the heroic deeds of the three generations of heroes and tried to become like them.

From a young age, she was entrusted with great expectations because of her lineage as a descendant of saints, and she was active on battlefields throughout Orantia, repelling demons, healing the wounded, and controlling natural disasters and plagues...

Princess Karina, who is only twenty years old this year, already enjoys a reputation in the Kingdom of Orantia that rivals that of all the heroes of the past.

But now, in order to save Orantia, she must be killed.

If Orantia's subjects knew about this, what would they choose?

They had no choice.

Because the choice lies with the Church of Truth.

They were a group of absolutely rational monsters.

Given the choice between one person's life and the lives of a group of people, the Church of Truth will undoubtedly choose the latter.

Even if that person were a bishop of the Church of Truth, they would not hesitate to send the bishop back to his residence.

but……

"You don't seem to have understood my question."

Ron said as he pondered:

"Both Su Yuanshi and Princess Karina are far away in Dawn City. How do you plan to kill her?"

Fly to the skies above Dawn City and unleash a super-tier destructive magic area-of-effect attack?

Putting aside whether magic can harm the Originium, just consider how many innocent people in Dawn City would die if this were done.

“I don’t know,” Kertia shook her head.

The Church of Truth did not reveal the method to kill Princess Karina, but since the Holy Son of Truth personally came to Kassel, he must have a way to kill Princess Karina.

This is something that most people in Orantia would never want to see.

Princess Karina is considered her junior in the Radiant Church. She is a diligent and studious junior who is dedicated to saving the world from war.

Besides informing Ron about the upcoming arrival of the Holy Son of Truth, she also wanted to confirm with Ron whether killing Princess Karina was the right way to save the Kingdom of Orantia.

Although Ron is a rather unreliable person, he seems to know a lot of things and can always do many unexpected things with uncanny foresight.

Moreover, Ron had saved Princess Karina before, so he probably wouldn't want to see her die like this.

Perhaps he could have given Princess Karina a better ending, however...

Ron tacitly agreed to the solution of killing Karina and even seriously considered how to kill Princess Karina.

Kertia lowered her gaze.

At that moment, Ron seemed to have thought of a way to kill Princess Karina. He made a fist with his left hand and struck his right palm.

"I think you could go to the Kingdom of Diam and ask for another person."

"Whom should we invite?" Kertia asked casually.

“The man who killed my father and brother,” Ron said.

Upon hearing this, Keltia frowned and squinted at Ron.
