A minister hurried out of Black Dragon Hall, clutching the document just signed by Cedric V.
"Summon all the troops immediately. Remember! All of them! Holy Knight Gray has confirmed to be a Lich. Now, we will launch a crusade against them in the name of the Holy Spirit!"
"Lich Gray usurped ecclesiastical authority. Starting today, no one is allowed to refer to ’Gray’ as ’Holy Knight Gray’ either verbally or in written correspondence. It must include ’Lich Gray’!"
"Supporting Lich Gray is classified as illegal behavior starting today!"
"Anyone defending Gray will have their property and all other rights stripped of Royal Family protection!"
"Send letters to all the kings on the continent! Have them state their stance immediately, whether they stand with the Holy Spirit or with the Lich!"
"Issue orders to post proclamations stating ’Gray is a Lich’ throughout all towns and villages in the Gustav Empire territory. Let everyone know this!"
"Allow civilians to organize their own crusade against Holy Knight Gray. If it reaches a certain scale, the organizers will be rewarded by His Majesty!"
The powerful national machinery of Gustav was set in motion, and the news rapidly spread through every corner of Black Dragon City, and even reached surrounding cities and neighboring countries!
