Chapter 296 (2): Impregnable Fortress x Unbreakable Defense x Advantage Is Ours
Megan collected the agreement with an expressionless face, glancing at the world map behind the desk and locating the defense line precisely. She pondered how she should breach it.
Auston smiled wordlessly, playing with the antique silver coin in his hand happily. He would be honest; he believed he had this in the bag. He would soon wash away the humiliation he had suffered.
“Wayne, do you really think that Franc only focuses on defense and places all hope in one defense line, and they are doomed to fail in that gamble?” With the agreement signed, Auston felt comfortable enough to speak frankly. It was why he had asked Wayne to come today.
“No, I just believe in Prussia more. Just look at the sewers, and you’ll know that they are a people of rigorous discipline, down-to-earth attitude, high intelligence, and great foresight.” Wayne spoke with sound reasoning.
Auston didn’t know what Wayne was talking about. “Do you believe that the churches do not participate in wars?”
Now we’re getting to the point!
Wayne’s eyes lit up. “Quite the contrary, I think the mages of the churches will definitely partake in this coming war. Things will be different this time. In the previous war, the churches didn’t even have time to enter before it was stopped short. They definitely won’t pass up a second chance.
Whether the churches would join the war in an official capacity was hard to say, but the mages of the churches would surely participate. The reason was simple: although faith had no borders, mages did belong to different nations. When war broke out, and they faced the deaths of loved ones, mages stricken with grief would surely seek revenge when opportunities arose.
Considering the outcome of the First World War, it was likely that the churches were actually involved; they simply hadn’t been open about it.
Wayne wasn’t making random guesses; he had evidence: his being a reincarnated angel. Why would Heaven send seven angels all of a sudden, corresponding to the Seven Demon Lords of Hell? There had to be more to the story.
The Church of Heavenly Father was the number one faith in the Chosen Land. When Heaven made a move, the matter had to be grand in scale. He would even boldly speculate that Heaven wasn’t only making a move against Hell, but also all the other faiths in the Chosen Land. How could the churches stay out of the war then?
“If you think that the churches will join the war, why do you believe that Franc won’t be able to hold the line of defense?” Auston asked curiously. “Once the line falls, all of Franc will be left defenseless. They will face an unprecedented landslide defeat. No churches want that.”
