The God's Games

They had just offended Hanjun, and he surely wouldn't want to help now.

If they had to wait for the Church of Light to act later, the Freehold of Veranil's land would suffer from the demon invasion.

What could they do about it?

The Freehold of Veranil was a country that developed through trade, and they had little military power.

They couldn't resist the demon army on their own.

Actually, this news wasn't only worrying the Freehold of Veranil's people; other countries were concerned too.

If the demons could break through the Kingdom of Orinthia's defenses and sneak in, would other countries be in danger as well?

As this thought crossed their minds, their worry grew.

If the demons rampaged through other countries, they would still need the Church of Light's help to completely defeat them.

Someone suggested, "Why don't we ask the Church of Light to come and deal with these demons?"

Hanjun lazily replied, "Didn't you all say you didn't like the Church of Light? Why do you need their help now? Since you're confident you can control the Church of Light, you must also be confident in dealing with these demons."

Hanjun's words were highly sarcastic, and everyone's faces looked unhappy.

They had spoken badly about the Church of Light in front of Hanjun, and now, faced with the situation, they were about to beg the Church for help without having done anything yet.

Hanjun's attitude made the Freehold of Veranil envoys feel ashamed, but knowing their country was being invaded made it hard for them to stay calm.

They looked towards Duke Dzemael, hoping he would speak on their behalf, their desperation was clear.

Hanjun asked, "Why are the Freehold of Veranil envoys asking Duke Dzemael for help? Is Duke Dzemael more trustworthy than your own king?"

The Freehold of Veranil envoys quickly looked away, and Duke Dzemael made a move to avoid the question.

But Hanjun's comment made their actions seem even more suspicious.

King Varis also looked at the two of them with a thoughtful expression.

It seemed that King Varis had noticed that Duke Dzemael was now an obstacle in his path to defeating the demons.

Duke Dzemael couldn't help but frown, cursing inwardly.

If the Freehold of Veranil's envoy hadn't looked at him, he wouldn't have made King Varis realize something was wrong so quickly.

After a long time, King Varis cleared his throat, stood up, and said, "Of course, the demons are our common enemy. In this situation, shouldn't we help each other instead of treating our own people as enemies?"

After he said this to everyone, some people showed approving expressions.

Following the general sentiment, King Varis then kindly asked Hanjun, "Holy Son, please assist us."

Hanjun looked at King Varis and chose to agree.

"But, I do have a request."

King Varis looked at the Freehold of Veranil's envoy, who seemed still confused, and spoke for the Freehold of Veranil: "I believe that nothing is more important than the safety of a nation. I think the King the Freehold of Veranil won't mind with these minor details." Continue reading at empire

Hanjun nodded and said, "I don't ask for anything else. I only hope to establish a church and develop followers within the Freehold of Veranil's territory."

So, King Varis and Hanjun each said a word, resolving the issue with the Freehold of Veranil and showing his envoys what could happen to them.

This made the envoys nervous about the actions of the Church of Light.

After Hanjun spoke, the Freehold of Veranil's envoy didn't even respond, which made King Varis call out to them, reminding them, "Is it that the Freehold of Veranil's envoys are unwilling? I don't think the Church of Light's demands are too high."

The Freehold of Veranil's envoy looked around, confused.

He knew he was facing a tough decision.

If he compromised now, all previous efforts would be wasted.

But if he didn't, the people in the territory would continue to suffer from demon attacks.

What should he do?

No matter what he decided, the players who were watching this scene were happy.

They had been frustrated by the Freehold of Veranil's little tricks before, so now when they saw that the Freehold of Veranil was the one seeking their help, they were naturally pleased.

The Freehold of Veranil's envoys looked around but no one dared to confront them or speak up at that moment.

Yes, they were all thinking, who can ensure the demons are defeated?

If every country present couldn't defeat the demons, why would they be here negotiating how to handle them?

Right now, only the Church of Light was seen as able to solve the problem with the demons, and this was a shared belief.

In other words, their lives were now in the hands of the Church of Light.

For the sake of his people, the Freehold of Veranil had no choice but to accept this condition.

Seeing him endure the humiliation, Hanjun snapped his fingers, drawing everyone's attention to him.

He said, "Master PungPong, this matter is now in your hands."

Master PungPong who is standing behind Hanjun, was thrilled to receive the actual mission and witness Hanjun's decisive action.

The Freehold of Veranil's territory was not far from the Kingdom of Orinthia, so their mission would be completed quickly.

There was also a system notification about another task.

Master PungPong and his team needed to supervise the people who built the Church of Light in the Freehold of Veranil.

Once the Church fully activated, this would allow them to respawn in the Freehold of Veranil's territory.

With the task in hand, Master PungPong and his team left in front of the Freehold of Veranil's envoys.

After they left, the people in the meeting room turned their attention back to Hanjun.

Hanjun's smile seemed particularly smug to everyone, but they had no way to deal with him because they now knew that if the demons attacked their territory, they would have to ask Hanjun for help.
