In the name of the true god

The only hope.

Considering the current plight of the "heretics," Jude could more or less understand Allen's somewhat tragic statement.

The prophecy of the year of divine descent is the greatest source of motivation for the many involved wizards and resonance sorcerers to remain steadfast in their commitment.

This is also the reason why they were forced to temporarily give up the fight and choose to lie low and wait.

But... it's still the same problem.

Did Edmund actually discover some shocking truth in the eight years of his future timeline? Or was he simply creating panic by using a public execution that garnered worldwide attention?

If it is the latter, then how angry and desperate must these wizards and resonators be when they have waited for more than 20 years and finally realize that they have been tricked by the leader they once trusted so much?

hiss……

Jude didn't even dare to think about it.

"You probably want to save them too, right?" Allen interrupted Jude's thoughts. "Otherwise, you have no reason to reveal your identity to me."

"We want to save them. But others may not know, but you should know very well how tight the security is in the capital's heavy prison. It's almost impossible for us to rescue so many people." Jude gestured for Allen to sit down and talk.

Allen's suspicions about Jude had lessened by half, and he sat opposite him in a less relaxed posture: "Vincent Monroe didn't tell you about our plan?"

"They've said it, but it'll be difficult to carry it out smoothly." Jude didn't think that the Divine Descent would be able to help the already half-dead, tormented wizards and resonance sorcerers regain much power, given the constant watch of the priests.

It cannot be restored.

Then we can't rely on the people inside for support; we can only launch a direct attack.

A dozen or so "heretics" face off against seven priests stationed in the capital's heavy prison, as well as hundreds of heavily armed prison guards...

It goes without saying which way the scales of victory are tipping.

"The biggest challenge is how to get the wizards and resonators inside to come into contact with things from the outside world so that they can fully utilize the power of the Law of Contact and the Law of Similarity," Allen said. "Our current plan is to secretly mix specific items into the heresy prison through sewage bins and send them into each cell."

Jude had previously considered using this method to maintain correspondence with Vincent Monroe.

This allows for more content exchange, rather than being limited to brief 30-second interactions each time.

He said, "This is the only feasible way, but we can't be too afraid of the worst. If the prison guards at the gate suddenly conduct a thorough search and find something hidden in the sewage tank, the whole plan will be ruined."

Allen wholeheartedly agreed: "That's why I didn't act rashly."

"You play cards with the priests in the heresy ward every day, have you found any other clues?" Jude asked.

"No," Allen shook his head. "I'm contacting them frequently now mainly to lower their guard against me. When necessary, I'll bring them a few cups of coffee laced with poison; they should drink them without hesitation."

"While other prison guards only go in at noon to distribute food and empty the sewage bins, you managed to gain half a day of free time in the cell block under the guise of playing cards?"

"Yes."

This is quite feasible.

It has become common knowledge that Allen plays cards with the priest every morning.

When only Alan and the two priests are in the heretical prison, Alan can use the ample time to release the imprisoned witches and resonance sorcerers by poisoning the two priests.

of course.

This is just the first step.

How to break out of the special prison building from the heretical prison area, then break out of the Royal Capital Heavy Prison from the special prison building, and then break out of the Royal Capital Heavy Prison from the Royal Capital Montorus... Every step after that is still at a standstill.

"If we abandon a direct confrontation, I can release the people from their cells in the heresy ward. The Descent of Gods members can meet us outside the prison. The only challenge we need to overcome is how to lead so many people over two walls guarded around the clock to rendezvous with the rest of the Descent of Gods." Allen stared intently at Jude. "Jude, can you give it a try?"

"Me?" Jude stared, wide-eyed. "How am I supposed to try?"

"Your brother is a first-class warden, and your brother and sister-in-law are deputy wardens. Could you perhaps find a way to get in touch with them?"

"No." This crossed Jude's line. "I can offer help to the best of my ability, but it's best not to involve my brother and the others."

not only that.

If conditions allowed, Jude even hoped that his identity would not be exposed, and that he would resign and extricate himself after the deed was done.

Otherwise, if the Holy Church finds out that it is a "heretic," Connor and his sister-in-law Steele will still be dragged down with it.

As his only family in this other world, they shouldn't have helped him so much out of kindness, only to be punished because of him.

"Do you have paper and pen?" Instead of trying to persuade him, Allen asked for paper and pen.

"Yes." Jude took a piece of white paper and a pen from the desk in his bedroom.

Allen took the pen and began drawing a map on the paper: "We now have the capability to control the heretical prison area on the second basement level. As we go up, it won't be a problem to silently take out the guards at those gates. But there's an armed guard stationed on the first floor all day long, and if a conflict breaks out with them, they will definitely sound their alarms simultaneously."

Jude watched as Allen drew two circles, one large and one small, outside the special prison building.

"When the alarm sounds, the guards on both walls will immediately be on high alert. They may not be a match for us either, but the biggest purpose of the two walls is actually to delay us until the Holy Church arrives with its support." Allen then drew a straight line in the middle of the two circles, which would serve as the only passage from the inner circle to the outer circle—the administration building.

"What if we cut off the alarm line in advance?"

"Cutting the alarm lines in the special ward building will at most buy us a minute or two. If we want to get out, we have to go through the administration building, where we will be noticed by the guards on both walls, and the people in the administration building can immediately contact the Holy Church and the police department for support."

Jude thought for a moment and wondered if he could simply cut off the alarm lines and telephone lines in the administration building, completely cutting off the Royal Capital Heavy Prison from the outside world.

Unfortunately, this is only theoretically feasible; there are too many factors to consider in practice.

such as--

How can I cut all the telephone lines without being seen by the staff in the administration building?

How can we ensure that the people in the administration building won't notice anything amiss after the telephone line is cut?

"So, we're bound to have a major battle with the other priests and prison guards in the administration building. Our only hope is to break through before the Holy Church's reinforcements arrive." Jude frowned. "How long will it take for the Holy Church's reinforcements to arrive?"

Allen said, "Six months ago, someone accidentally triggered the alarm. At that time, the Holy Church dispatched more than a dozen priests in just twenty minutes."

Twenty minutes...

Including the several priests already stationed in the prison, this was simply beyond their ability to contend with...

Moreover, the longer the time drags on, the more priests will arrive.

It can be said that once the prison break begins, they will only face the choice between life and death.
