Season 3: Chapter 313. Heaven’s Help (3)
Inside the think tank meeting room, Hui-Chul listened intently to Chi-Seung’s words with a serious expression. Chi-Seung claimed to have identified Rome’s weakness.
“A weakness...?”
Hui-Chul found it hard to believe. How could someone suddenly discover a weakness in one of the strongest civilizations? Surely, it wasn’t something already known. He asked for clarification with his curiosity piqued.
“Yes. It’s the priests.”
Chi-Seung had pinpointed Rome’s reliance on its priests as their Achilles’ heel. SharpSphere and Water Dumpling looked at him skeptically with disbelief written all over their faces.
“That’s it? Everyone already knows priests are important to Rome!”
“Come on, oppa. Stop joking.”
Indeed, it was common knowledge that priests were essential to Rome. They were also a natural target for enemy attacks. Therefore, priests were usually stationed at the rear in the safest position, making them difficult to target. Even with the ranged capabilities of the third era, priests could often be replaced quickly. This diminished their strategic significance. What Chi-Seung suggested seemed almost absurd.
“Wait a second,” Hui-Chul said and raised his hand.
A specific moment from the last game flashed in his mind.
“Now that you mention it... A priest did die in the second era.”
He had assumed it was a fluke at the time.
