It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 615 The Apostle and the Saintess in the Rain
In the dark and quiet underground church, a classical woman in a pure white dress dances lightly and slowly.

She was barefoot, her snow-white skin almost bloodless, gracefully stretching her limbs on the marble floor, leaving only the trails of dust in her dance steps.

Lovi and Vimier sat on a bench watching the almost silent performance.

Without music or accompaniment, the patter of her toes hitting the ground seemed to contain a melody, as if even a breath would disturb it, making her appear as a mere phantom, her life fragile and her holiness cold.

Only when the other person gracefully turned around and bowed in the direction of the non-existent audience did Luo Wei gently applaud, as if the dust had settled.

It's beautiful; it's art.

But the other party neither needed praise nor evaluation, and Luo Wei also understood that the other party's dance was not specifically performed for him.

"How is it?" he asked.

After finishing her performance, Shatis slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of ethereal eyes.

"From the perspective of warming up after a long period of sleep, it's not bad."

Since the last time she was awakened, it was during the sainthood ceremony in Lehman. Although the Soul Bottle was given to Vimir during the time in the royal city, she has never used it.

Shatis walked to the side, picked up her shoes, and without caring that her feet were covered in dust, put on her shoes and socks and walked towards the two of them.

“Well then,” she said, opening her somewhat dim eyes, “you don’t wake me up for no reason.”

"Uh……"

However, after listening to them explain the current situation...

"You only woke me up now?" Shatis questioned.

"Hmm... well," Rowe shrugged, "it's to allow you to stay longer, you don't want to have to fall asleep at the crucial moment, do you?"

“My mission ended long ago, there’s no need to worry about that.”

But since the topic of the divine world had come up, she knew very well why she had been awakened at this moment.

“Never mind…” she shook her head, her face as pale as a ghostly figure, and said, “Call all of you together.”

……

Thirty minutes later.

It was still raining heavily outside, but everyone had gathered together in the orc mother goddess's tent.

Shatis explained the cause and effect of the situation to them.

“The theocratic world is not as geographically restricted as the world between nations, so many conflicts and confrontations are unknown to the public and have accumulated over a long period of time, unlike the obvious references for conquering cities and seizing territories.”

"The Sun God Cult is one of them. There have always been concerns about them, but they have been put aside because the temples behind them have not spoken up. Most of the major sects have chosen to turn a blind eye."

She slowly raised her head.

"So the situation you are facing now is very likely the result of this long-term accumulation of cause and effect, which has erupted due to some uncontrollable reason."

Well……

As she listened to her teacher analyze the cause of the incident with great confidence in front of everyone, Vimiel cast a look of admiration upon her.

No, as expected of Teacher Shatis.

"It seems we have quite a few outstanding female strategists here," Rowe joked.

He then turned his attention to Lovely, Artana, Philica, and the newly joined Shatis. The most important thing now was for the four of them to know the situation.

The others responded with complicated looks, and Lovely's brows twitched slightly.

You also know that the tents are almost entirely filled with women!

Apart from Urs and Goodman, who stood near the entrance like gatekeepers, the entire tent was filled with girls. Shatis, who was standing there speaking, naturally noticed them, but the current issue was not her concern, so she didn't mention it.

“So, it’s definitely the Sun God Cult, right…” Attana glanced at her.

“I’ve heard about the situation,” Shatis said, looking at her. “Since the other side knows you have skilled mecha girls, they will definitely do a good job of counter-surveillance. It’s best not to think too optimistically.”

"Can you identify what kind of ritual object it is?" Urs asked, standing in the doorway.

Upon hearing Urs's voice, Shatis herself was opposed to the appearance of a high-ranking demon god at the meeting.

However, besides this demon god, there was also a wicked demon present. Amidst their playful antics, she seemed to be the outsider, so she didn't bother to care about any private grudges they might have had.

But that doesn't mean she'll treat the demon god well.

“The Sun God Cult has sealed many powerful ritual artifacts, most of which are remnants from the era of the ancient gods,” Shatis said with her eyes closed. “I have only heard a little about them, but it is said that some of them are powerful enough to shake the domains of gods.”

"An artifact from the era of the ancient gods?" Ayining asked uncertainly.

Is it a legacy of that war of gods?

If that's the case, there might be some artifacts inside that were used by the ancient gods and the present gods 1,200 years ago to fight against each other.

“The Sun God Cult was originally established by the Yellow Sun God Temple to seal these relics. Of course, it is also possible that someone deliberately created this situation and brought the sealed artifacts out of the temple,” Xia Tisi pondered. “As a first-level god of the Light God King, he naturally obtained the most spoils of war in that divine war.”

Ok……

Although in Luo Wei's eyes they were all things that the Yellow Sun God looked down upon, or things that had been corrupted and were simply sealed away on the spot.

But for ordinary people, the treasures left behind from ancient times are enough to destroy a country.

"So what we're facing now is most likely the enemy activating the power of some divine artifact, right?" Lovely pondered, then asked the key question, "What's the countermeasure?"

"To be honest, I wanted to take the initiative and attack—"

Shatis turned her gaze to her.

"But after looking at your troop strength, let's forget about it. It's already a miracle that you've held out this long without the city falling. Even if we send the Holy Maiden to purify the sky, it's only a temporary solution."

The situation seemed to have reached a dead end, but Saya, standing to the side, was full of indignation. So what if there were a few members of the Sun God Cult among the fifty thousand people? Just find them and kill them all.

Ok……

The Sun God Church will most likely send a new leader, unless they storm the headquarters and take down the Pope and all... well, that's another story.

Luo Wei knew that what they were facing now was only a part of the Sun God Cult, and probably not even the main part, but the other side's overall plan was moving in that direction.

At that moment, he noticed Urs's gaze.

Urs looked at him, and the two exchanged a knowing glance. The problem of insufficient manpower was not difficult to solve. As long as enough materials were provided, Rooney of the Three Demon Generals could use magic to create a large number of created monsters and form a beast tide army. Even though there was a significant gap in combat power compared to the regular knight army, the number of them was more than enough to attract attention.

But Rowe declined Urs's offer.

And the same applies this time.

Seeing that he had his own ideas, Urs understood and said no more, after all, another beast tide would also be risky for the Fifth Princess.

The meeting discussed the battlefield situation and the issue of the Sun God Cult. The most crucial thing right now was to figure out what the Sun God Cult wanted to instigate, but their available forces were severely insufficient; they didn't even have enough men to go out as scouts. Philica, Artana, and others knew that Rowe had refused to provide support, but they didn't mention it at the meeting. "I know who you're waiting for," Shatis said, glancing at Rowe during the discussion, "but if she's going to come, she definitely won't come alone. Do you understand what I mean?"

"clear."

Her gaze was deep, while Luo Wei's response was indifferent.

In short, they have to overcome these difficulties on their own. If they can't get through this, then everything that follows will be meaningless.

Lovely: "?"

Who is he waiting for?

"In short, let's focus on defense for now," Shatis said, getting back to the main point. "Don't let the enemy have any opportunity to take advantage. As for the Sun God Cult, I will give advice as much as possible after observing the battlefield."

Hearing her tone as if she was about to end the meeting, Luo Wei smiled.

"Defense is, of course, a must."

"However—who says we can't take the initiative?"

For a moment, everyone in the tent looked at him, and Xia Tisi's expression showed a slight uncertainty.

"what do you mean?"

……

The northern suburbs of Baigang Town, on the southern side of the Liehen Mountains.

Under the cover of night, Shatis, draped in a white rain cloak, climbed to the top of a mountain and glanced around in the pouring rain.

"What did you bring us here for?"

There were only rocks and a few monster ruins around them. The road was difficult to walk on in the heavy rain, and Vimir clumsily supported herself with her staff behind them.

Oops... water got into my boots...

Lowe was already standing there waiting for the two of them. He didn't respond to Xia Tisi's words, but simply raised his hand and pointed in a direction in the rain.

Shatis stared intently; the rain obscured her vision, making it almost impossible to discern what was there in the darkness, but she still managed to see it—

That was the enemy's military camp.

Only then did she realize that the three of them had circled around to the rear of the enemy's main camp and were at a distance that would be difficult for guards and scouts to notice.

"What do you want to do?" She looked up at Luo Wei in the rain, letting the raindrops fall on her pupils.

"I see the Sun God Cult is getting impatient, so why not lend them a hand?" Luo Wei smiled coldly as he looked in that direction.

"……what?"

This was, after all, enemy territory. Shatis herself was fine, but she couldn't accept that he had brought Vimir to such a dangerous place.

Moreover, since they are both spellcasters, there should be more suitable candidates to choose scouts.

Vimier climbed the last stretch of the road to his side, wiping the rain from her head with a look of exhaustion and a sense of accomplishment.

“I don’t think stopping the Sun God Cult will be useful,” Rowe said. “Instead of waiting for them to be fully prepared in secret, we should kick them in the back and force them to jump out ahead of time.”

“I still don’t understand what you mean.” Shatis looked suspicious.

Weren't they supposed to be stopping the Sun God Cult's conspiracy? How did they end up helping them achieve their plan? What exactly is he trying to do?
"Don't they like rain? —"

Luo Wei looked up at the gloomy sky, then pointed to the heavy clouds on the horizon: "Then let this rain come even more violently."

Xia Tisi hesitated for five seconds.

She then understood what he meant and looked at his profile with empty, lifeless eyes.

"To come up with such a wicked idea, should I say you live up to your name?"

“I’ll take that as a compliment,” Rowe said unmoved. “You two get ready, we can start anytime.”

Shatis sighed softly, while Vimir, unsure of what to do, clutched her staff and stood guard like a rabbit.

"You should know that doing this could be seen as the Church of Prayer declaring war on them, right?"

“Then they need to know it’s us,” Rowe said with his eyes closed. “We haven’t launched any offensives since the start of the war. If anyone knows we’re here, he’s already a corpse.”

Shatis remained silent for a moment.

"You really are... despicable," she finally had to say.

Vimir, who was standing to the side, listened blankly to what she was told to do, and then her eyes widened in shock.

"Huh...huh?!"

……

That night, at the Western Army camp of the Second Prince.

Lucas sat in his tent, eating the dried meat he had brought on the march while listening to the reports his men had gathered.

Scarlett stood quietly to the side, waiting.

The heavy rain also had some impact on them, but what bothered Lucas the most was the situation with the magic cannons. If they couldn't guarantee the daily siege firepower, when would that barrier finally be breached?

"Go to Morningstar County to recruit artisans to expedite the production, and at the same time, transfer all the magic cannons from the lord's territory."

"Yes!"

The sergeant accepted the order and left.

Lucas continued to eat his simple meal in the military camp, lost in thought, when suddenly the sound of rain hitting the tent intensified.

Almost simultaneously, Scarlett and the knights and squires in the tent, including the second prince himself, all looked up.

Splash—splash!

The sound far exceeded the definition of ordinary "rain" and rose sharply within seconds, causing Lucas to immediately stand up from his seat.

Wow! ! !
With a loud crash, the entire tent collapsed from the top under the weight of the rain. The servants inside, including the second prince who was eating a simple meal, were instantly soaked to the bone. And that wasn't all; the rain that was pouring down on them didn't stop. Instead, it continued to cascade down like a waterfall and a torrent, making it difficult for them to stand up in the downpour.

“What’s going on?!”

Lucas drew his sword, parted the curtain, and stepped outside. Everything else in the military camp looked just like his own tent.

In an instant, the entire military camp felt as if someone had overturned the ocean onto it. The already unbearable conditions were now exacerbated by the intensifying rain, making it more than three times worse than before.
Scarlett stumbled out of the tent, and paused for a moment as she adjusted her wide-brimmed hat before realizing what was happening.

She had initially thought that someone would stop the heavy rain, but now...

Who is it...?

Someone... made the rain worse!
