In the name of the true god

Alan felt a sudden chill of fear: "How...how did your brother figure out my identity?"

Jude said, "I don't know. You can't ask about these things. If you do, it will solidify our status as 'heretics' in his eyes, and then he'll have no choice but to arrest us."

"This shouldn't be..." Allen muttered to himself, scratching his head as he tried to recall where his seemingly flawless disguise of the past three years had gone wrong.

Jude, seeing Allen's bewildered and frantic expression, roughly understood why he had been exposed.

1. Connor found a notebook in his home that was used to record the pets' habits.

Second, Connor noticed that he was very concerned about the situation of the "heretics".

Third, Connor finds himself getting very close to Allen.

The first two points were not a problem originally.

It's reasonable to keep track of your pets' habits.

It's understandable that she repeatedly inquired about the "heretics" because she was worried that her brother would be transferred out of prison.

But Connor had long suspected that Allen was a "heretic," and all his previous seemingly reasonable behavior took on a different meaning after he became inseparable from Allen.

Ok……

It's Allen's fault...

Chairman Frost didn't rush to speak, but carefully considered in his heart whether Connor was trustworthy.

a long time.

He was certain that Connor genuinely wanted to help them; otherwise, there would have been no need to involve Jude and have his own brother work in prison, becoming a complete scapegoat.

"What's he thinking?" Chairman Frost asked.

"No." Jude emphasized Connor's situation. "My brother is constantly under divine supervision. He can't directly help us; he can only pass on information covertly. And right now... the value of that information is very limited for us."

"How likely do you think His Majesty Leonard is to reject the Church?" President Frost asked a new question.

"...At most 20%." Jude pondered for a moment, then said 'optimistically,' "The main problem is that there have been two prison breaks in a row, and there's no direct evidence to prove that the Church did it intentionally. Even if His Majesty Leonard wants to vent his anger, he has to consider the bigger picture. Besides... the Church could actually grant him special privileges, allowing him to go to the Church Temple to torture the implicated wizards and resonance sorcerers."

Allen temporarily escaped his own predicament: "Are we really going to just stand by and watch so many of our kind be transferred to the church temple...?"

If we were to discuss who most wanted to launch a rescue operation...

There is no one more than Allen.

He was not only a member of the "heretics," but he also risked great danger by spending three years in prison, humbly flattering the priests for three whole years.

So much effort, and it all ended in failure?

Allen couldn't accept it.

"...There's another way," Chairman Frost said after a long pause, "a coordinated attack from within and without."

Jude listened, completely bewildered: "How do you mean by working together from the inside and outside?"

President Frost took a deep breath, seemingly reluctant to embark on this path: "The biggest difficulty in a forced prison break is that it's almost impossible for the dozen or so members of the Divine Descent Society to break through the prison's multiple layers of security within a limited time. But if we can fully utilize the power of the forty-two connected wizards and resonance sorcerers in the prison, the situation will be very different."

The sheer strength of the Royal Capital Heavy Prison is undeniable.

Two walls.

Seven priests.

Hundreds of armed prison guards.

What about them?

There was only a fourth-tier Frost, plus a dozen or so first- to third-tier entanglement wizards and resonance sorcerers.

Besides engaging in direct confrontation, they also had to cover the retreat of dozens of comrades in poor physical condition while being outmatched on paper, putting them in a very passive position.

but!

If these dozens of imprisoned individuals can recover and turn their "burden" into an advantage, then the situation is entirely different!

Let alone fighting against seven priests and hundreds of armed prison guards, even if the church's reinforcements arrive, the scales of victory will tip in favor of the "heretics"!

Think again.

If Alan had followed the original plan, he would have poisoned the two priests on duty.

Connor sided with them, deliberately avoiding a fight.

If a real fight breaks out, there will only be four priests!

Our advantages will expand even further!

only……

"First, we won't be able to rotate to the heretics' ward until next week, so there won't be enough time for inside-outside coordination. Second, most of the inmates are severely malnourished. Even if Allen and I secretly bring them an extra bread or two during our shifts, it will be difficult for them to recover effectively in just a few days." Jude didn't want to let any opportunity slip by, but he still objectively pointed out the flaws in the plan.

Chairman Frost was well aware: "If it weren't for these problems, we would have done it long ago. So, this is a last resort, and we'll do as much as it can."

"Indeed." Jude nodded.

There is no better way.

Sending them a few more loaves of bread will help them recover even a little bit.

Even if they can't exert their full strength in the end, at least they won't be so weak that they can't walk.

"Once the transfer begins, Allen's dormancy will be completely meaningless. Therefore, Allen must make his last contribution before the transfer, which is to open the iron door of the heretic prison cell," Chairman Frost continued, explaining his plan.

"And then?" Allen asked.

"We must recognize the reality: even a coordinated attack from within might not succeed. The reason we're still doing this is to give our imprisoned comrades another chance to fight for themselves." Chairman Frost made a difficult, somewhat cruel decision. "We'll just be there to meet them from the outside. If they manage to break out, we'll go together. If they don't, then it's up to fate."

Jude sighed.

President Frost's meaning was very clear.

The gods might not be involved in a prison break, but their role is to open the cell doors in the heretical prison area and create a route outside to help their companions escape the capital.

It would be best if the forty-two involved wizards and resonance sorcerers, who have gained some freedom, could break through the encirclement. If they cannot, they will either die or be brought back under control and sent to the church temple. In any case, the Descent of God will suffer no loss.

Rather than charging in, we should hope for a one percent chance of taking them all away unharmed.

This approach is undoubtedly more prudent and can preserve strength to the greatest extent possible.

Of course, no one knows how many of the forty-two implicated wizards and resonance sorcerers will ultimately escape.

"Sigh..." Allen lowered his head, looking somewhat dejected. "This is the only way..."

"But even if we harden our hearts and offer them only the bare minimum of assistance, there's still a thorny problem with this plan," said President Frost. "Time. If Leonard agrees to the transfer, the church will definitely begin making arrangements within the next day or two. But Allen's attempt to infiltrate the heresy ward will have to wait until next Saturday, no matter what."
