When the Church of Holy Church received Nadia's message, they were dumbfounded.
Even though the Church of Holy Church had considered the following issue after receiving the news from the Papood Family, they didn't expect the National Freedom Army to be this unyielding.
However, they did not expect the Freedom Army to be so stubborn. Even after losing the support of the Holy Church, they still wanted to fight the Northern Alliance one-on-one.
Of course, even though both sides knew that the National Freedom Army wouldn't give up the territory that they had swallowed, no matter what, the National Freedom Army's tactic of retreating for the sake of advancing was effective. After all, their slogan was moving.
Freedom, equality, democracy. Not to mention anything else, at least it sounded like it.
Within the Church of Holy Church, they also sympathized with the National Freedom Army. After all, the spirit of taking the risk despite knowing that there was danger was commendable.
At the start, the Church of Holy Light was still considering whether or not they should secretly provide some assistance to the National Freedom Army. However, another message from Nadia made them even more nervous — according to Nadia, if the Church of Holy Light chose to withdraw from the National Freedom Army,
Then, the organization named Enclave would seek the support of the Magic Empire, Coruncia!
Even though the Holy Church had already prepared themselves mentally, they were still thrown into disarray when they heard this news.
This time, they couldn't withdraw even if they wanted to. One had to know that Eagle Plateau was the territory of the Church of Holy Church.
If the Magic Empire, Coruncia were to intervene, wouldn't it be a mess?
Therefore, the Church of Holy Church decisively withdrew their original decision and once again busied themselves with the trivial matters of the Scal Federation.
But this wasn't the main point.
After the Church of Holy Church got busy again, Jenn no longer cared about this trivial matter.
On the contrary, he quietly returned to Passus and began to pay attention to the current situation on the continent.
Frankly speaking, the trivial matters that happened in the Scal Federation weren't on the Church of Holy Church's agenda at all and were at most low-level affairs.
To the Church of Holy Church, the current situation on the Klein Continent was the most important.
Even though the defense of the Chaos Coast had failed, the Undead Army's attack was stopped.
According to Jenn's intel, Klein didn't intend to fight against Vivian head-on. That was why his Undead Army didn't attack the Dark Dragons in front of them.
On the other hand, Vivian seemed to have gotten bored of invading the surrounding areas of St. Callenbach. There was no movement from her for the time being.
However, the Black Dragons under her command did not stay idle. They attacked and looted everywhere.
From Jenn's point of view, this was not much different from gangsters collecting protection fees from shops on the streets.
On the other hand, Nabelius's reaction was intense. According to the information Jenn had gathered, the outbreak of the plague in Hanich Canyon was now in a state of "rampant infection".
Not only was the canyon itself and its surroundings affected, but even the Forest of No Return was affected. That place had become a wasteland.
According to the intel Jenn received from the Church of Holy Church, the scene of corpses strewn all over Hanich Canyon wasn't just a description. It was a record.
It went to show that Nabelius must have suffered some kind of trauma. If not, she wouldn't have blown the matter up … But Jenn knew the answer without asking.
It was definitely Klein's doing.
The situation on the Klein Continent was rather delicate. The Undead Army, which was the biggest threat to the continent, had been stopped.
However, the situation didn't turn for the better. On the contrary, due to the appearance of the Dark Dragons and the outbreak of the plague, the Klein Continent became increasingly tense.
The Church of Holy Church was busy extinguishing the plague. Other countries had also begun to gather their forces to deal with these mysterious troubles. At the same time, it was also a precaution.
It was also under this background that the Parkwood Family wanted to invite Zayen to take action. Otherwise, they could have used their politician's experience and cunning to wear down the National Liberation Army instead of spending a lot of effort to push this matter forward themselves.
However, Jenn didn't let his guard down. Instead, he became more and more nervous.
Because he was clear that as the tense situation on the Klein Continent spread, it meant that the time for the test was approaching.
The test of the demon king ritual.
The demon king ritual was a test for the demon king's children. Since it was a test, there was naturally a process of preparation, answer, and finishing.
Ever since Zayen left the underworld and came to the main plane for such a long time, all he had been doing was preparing for the exam. For example, checking if he had brought his stationery, preparing draft paper, and taking deep breaths to keep calm and things like that.
But that was all. In fact, up until now, Jenn hadn't even seen the test paper.
That's right. Since it was a test, there was naturally a test question.
Destroying humans was only the ultimate goal. It was just like how everyone hoped to be admitted into a top-tier university during the college entrance exam. However, one couldn't neglect the process of the test just because of this goal. If one couldn't pass the tests and obtain sufficient scores, one could only tearfully give up on the noble mission of 'destroying humans'.
However, any preparation had to come to an end.
Before leaving the underworld, Jenn had carefully studied the records of the demon king ritual.
The most important point was that after all the demon king's children had gained a firm foothold in the main plane and gradually displayed their strength.
They would receive a 'test question'.
And what they had to do next was to complete this' test question '.
Of course, this' test question 'itself was not fixed.
Sometimes, several demon king's children would compete to see who could complete it first.
There were also some questions that required the demon king's children to kill each other before a certain period of time and persist until the last one won.
All in all, these questions were strange and varied.
Jenn even saw in the records that there was once a demon king ritual that required the demon king's children to compete for the heart of a saintess!
Of course, this was still fine. There were also some questions that were purely to torture people. For example, in the test of the year '86.
All the hidden identities of the demon king's children were completely exposed and made public. At the same time, they were required to live in this state on the main plane for three hundred years.
One must know that the demon king's children were the public enemy of the light forces, and they were actually required to live in this state on the main plane for three hundred years. This was simply terrible!
However, in the records of the Demons, the records of these tests were only like this. What made Jenn feel the most strange was that there was no sign of any question setters, that is, the examiners.
These questions didn't look like they were the product of his cheap dad or other demon kings.
In the Demons' almost detailed historical records, these had never appeared. It was as if the test questions that tortured the 'Demons' flew out of thin air.
But how was this possible?
All along, Jenn had been busy setting up his own forces and expanding his tentacles as much as possible.
Whether it was the refuge plan or the current National Salvation Army, they were all chess pieces that Jenn had secretly arranged.
However, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about when the torturous test questions would appear.
In Jenn's opinion, perhaps when all the demon king's children were more or less prepared, they would receive their test questions.
And now, it was such a stage for Jenn.
Klein's Undead Army had attracted enough attention, and Nabelius and Vivian had also begun to make their presence known in the main plane with their respective identities.
Even though he didn't expose his identity, the influence he had caused over the past year was not small. In this situation where the Sons of Demons had basically all been mobilized, Jenn suspected that the time for the open-book test was getting closer.
"There are no abnormalities in the re-inspection, Master."
Hugging the documents in her arms, Enoya reported to Jenn in a low voice.
"The Magic Fortress is operating normally, and the aliens are still patrolling the borders without being discovered by anyone.
In terms of the refuge, we have successfully reached an agreement with seven different families. Currently, Miss Unica is leading the members of the Chamber of Commerce to construct the refuge.
The 'believers' in the Western Wilderness have returned to normal, and it will probably take at most five months for them to return to their original state.
During this period of time, no forces have launched any attacks on the underground city … "
"Good, continue to follow up. By the way, contact Reemilia and ask her to return as soon as possible.
The situation on the continent is unstable, and I'm a little worried that there will be problems.
Try to gather all the combat forces in the underground city. I want them to be able to fight and win every battle. "
Jenn's expression was solemn. After all, he wasn't sure what the test was about. What if he was asked to challenge the other four siblings? Jenn felt that it was more realistic for him to pack up and flee.
"Yes, Master."
Upon hearing Jenn's order, Enoya nodded.
Jenn stood up, walked out of the study room, and headed towards his bedroom.
Just as he pushed open the gorgeous door and walked into the bedroom, the scene in front of him made Zayen freeze on the spot. On the table in front of him, there was a bundle of old, tattered scrolls quietly sitting there.
There was no golden radiance, and there wasn't any spiritual pressure that could make one tremble.
However, the instant Jenn saw the scroll, he suddenly felt a tinge of nervousness for no reason.
It was as though the examination paper was finally placed on the table and he was about to flip it over to face the questions.
