Chapter 364: All Are but Weeds
Ansu suppressed the chill rising in his heart, trying to bargain with the deity through Freya.
“Is there no other way? One that isn't so extreme?”
He sighed and said, “I will definitely form the holy army, and I will surely spread the faith of the Holy Light. But there is no need to destroy Benalu City. That is my home, the place where I grew up...”
“Besides, the Empire is already rotten to the core. Its collapse is only a matter of time.”
“The real enemies are the demons and the City of a Thousand Stars. Shouldn't we deal with them first?”
Despite Ansu's attempts to appeal to both reason and emotion...
...Freya's gaze suddenly grew cold and indifferent, the pressure belonging to a deity manifesting once more.
“I can create an opportunity for you; that city will fall to the demon army first,” she said in an icy voice. “With the power at your disposal, you will be more than capable of wiping that city completely off the map, and no one will lay the blame on the Holy Light faction.”
Before Ansu could speak again, the voice, completely devoid of warmth, rang out once more.
