So the Holy Light Church wanted the Abyssal Demons to find another enemy.
On the continent, the Lorenzo Kingdom was undoubtedly the best choice.
The Divine Eagle Empire was in much the same position as the Holy Light Church.
Green sank into thought. The situation was complicated, and whoever the Mastermind was, he had no way to retaliate immediately. That left him frustrated.
Green's eyes turned cold as he murmured, "The Four Gods Alliance, the Holy Light Church, the Divine Eagle Empire..."
All three were powers he could not afford to provoke. More importantly, he had no way to tell which one was the Mastermind.
The approach of killing suspects rather than letting one escape worked on ordinary people. If he antagonized all three at once, he would likely meet an ugly end.
But Green's aim was to make an example of someone. Who had actually orchestrated it did not matter.
Compared with those three powers, the Abyssal Demons entrenched in the Asgar Kingdom made a better target for retaliation.
As for the true culprit, that damned Mastermind...
Green decided he needed to question Elizabeth Franton more thoroughly.
Just then, something Green had not expected happened.
Before he could go after the Abyssal Demons, the forces in the Asgar Kingdom attacked his territory first.
Their army numbered more than three hundred thousand. Over thirty thousand were true demons; the rest were transformed Demon Creatures. They launched a massive assault toward Green's territory.
When Green received the report, he frowned. "I hadn't come looking for trouble, but you attacked me first."
Then he thought of the attempted assassination of Count Paul and the Abyssal Demons' sabotage in Alsa Province. If he had not realized there was a plot behind it, he would almost have concluded that this was a coordinated attack
