So I'm a sheep.

"Why did we choose your family? Some families only have elderly people and children! You will have a hard time after leaving this city, but they definitely won't be able to survive here."

"The church is helpless; it's all that damned demon's fault."

The bishops offered words of comfort while simultaneously using Simon to incite hatred.

After much effort, they finally persuaded most of the people arranging the relocation.

There were still some who were simply unpersuasive, and there was nothing that could be done but let the brutal soldiers deal with them.

After the church had basically settled its own affairs, a certain bishop volunteered to persuade the higher-ups in the neutral zone to also carry out the work of relocating the city's population.

"The tragedy of Brawi is right before our eyes, I can definitely convince the people in the neutral zone!"

The bishop was full of confidence, and Pope Zorn also had high hopes for him.

However, he soon brought back both bad news and good news.

"The demon Simon personally led ninety-nine artifact wielders in a surprise attack on Golden Creek City, and the defending army is putting up a fierce resistance."

"Your Holiness, the people in the neutral zone hope that the Church can send troops to help. After this battle, the neutral zone will form a permanent strategic alliance with our Dawn Church."

"..."

Simon's relentless pressure finally led the Neutral Zone to decide to abandon its neutrality. Although they had previously helped the church, they had never formally formed any alliance.

"Great! The neutral zone has finally completely sided with us!"

"Hmph, they should have realized what was happening when Brawi fell. Why wait until now to signal an alliance? Did they still harbor some wishful thinking before?"

"It's a good thing overall. We won't have to hide anything when we do things in the future."

After saying a few words, everyone looked at the silent little girl.

Lady Sasha

Zorn pleaded, "Gold Creek City cannot fall. We must send reinforcements."

"But, the demon's curse..."

The Pope fell silent after saying half a sentence. The Divine Messenger couldn't break the demon's curse so easily. Didn't you see how cold she was that day?

Half a sentence is enough; whether or not to go is up to the divine messenger himself, and he cannot force him.

'Sigh, I was still hesitating about whether to take more of the tiny light points to accelerate crop growth, but now a more pressing issue is looming.'

'Without gaining more power, I cannot fight the demon Simon. His drumming is so eerie; it's a devastating weapon that shatters morale!'

'I have to go. I have to take more light from more people, even knowing it's not good for them.'

'...'

Thinking this way, the girl did not feel any better; instead, she became even more depressed.

.................................................. .........

Seeing that Sasha hadn't said anything, Zorn assumed she didn't want to go, so he started to change the subject.

"Pope Zorn, bishops."

Suddenly, the little girl spoke.

"I've been feeling lost lately, and no matter how I try to comfort myself, I still feel very uncomfortable."

"Lady Sasha, what is it?"

Zorn said seriously, "Speak up and let everyone give us their opinions. Perhaps our insignificant life experience can be of some help to you."

"Well, there are some things that I know will hurt innocent people if I do them."

"But reality forces me to do this."

"Because if I don't harm these innocent people, a greater disaster will occur."

Is "sacrificing the small for the big" really the right thing to do?

"..."

"........."

My lord, this is a veiled reference to the city's population relocation plan!

Almost simultaneously, everyone realized what the little girl was referring to.

In an effort to thwart the ambitions of the demon Simon, the church forced countless people to leave their homes.

They were feeling bad, and the divine messenger was feeling even worse.

No wonder, Sasha always seemed listless and unmotivated during meetings lately.

Everyone fell silent, they had plenty of ways to fool people, but now it was time to enlighten the angel!

No one dared to speak first, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one spoke, the little girl couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh, sorry, I asked some strange questions."

"The support from Jinxi City, including me..."

Lady Sasha

The elderly bishop parted the crowd and walked up to the little girl: "Since none of them dare to speak, let me do it."

"No matter how much you try to whitewash it, forcing people to leave their homes is never a good thing."

"Rebuilding a village—it sounds simple, but it's easier said than done!"

“Our decision will inevitably lead to the breaking up of countless families, and many innocent people will even lose their lives as a result.”

"But even knowing it's wrong, we still have to do it!"

The old man looked directly into the little girl's eyes: "Lady Sasha, thank you for your consideration in using the excuse that 'reality forced me to do this' to excuse everyone."

"But, it's really not necessary."

“We faced the difficulties head-on, and we did what we were supposed to do.”

"Even when facing a goddess, we will have no shame!"

"There's no need for excuses, and there was no coercion. This was a decision we made with full awareness, knowing what would happen!"

Volume 1: Chapter 41 Just an Excuse

The old bishop's words deeply moved the little girl (although he may have misunderstood something), and Sasha finally understood why she couldn't let go of her feelings.

"Had no choice," "No other option," "It's all the devil's fault."

These are just excuses to harm innocent believers and take power from them with a clear conscience!

So stop pretending to be a victim.

Make up your mind carefully, and then shoulder the responsibility of saving the world!

Those people admired me, loved me, and were even willing to sacrifice themselves for me.

'I, the little angel Sasha, will soon be able to take them all by my own will!'

'I will take their power. Although I don't know what this power is, it is indeed the only power that can fight against demons and turn the tide.'

'Little angel Sasha is not at peace with herself, so I swear—'

'Not because of the trial, but for you, for the future of this world.'

'I will defeat the demon Simon and prevent the gates of purgatory from opening!'

With her mind clear, the little girl's eyes were no longer filled with confusion.

"Please allow me to accompany the church's warriors to Golden Creek City; I will deal with the demon Simon."

Zorn was overjoyed, but before he could say anything, Sasha dropped another bombshell.

"Gentlemen, please tell all the anxious and distraught relocated residents."

"The divine messenger Sasha will use divine power to ensure a bountiful harvest for everyone!"

"A bumper harvest?"

Zorn's expression shifted: "You mean...?"

"The seeds I plant will bear fruit in the blink of an eye, and I will demonstrate the true miracle."

"Of course, in order not to delay the rescue, I will only go to one village along the way this time."

"But I promise!"

"After the rescue operation is over, I will personally walk through all the ruins to make sure everyone has enough to eat."

.................................................. ............................

If Sasha can keep her promise, the whole world will be turned upside down!

Such a large-scale miracle was unprecedented. Although other churches, including the Church of Dawn, also proclaimed various miracles, those miracles could not withstand scrutiny and could not be verified.

When a truly massive and verifiable miracle appears before the world, even Zorn couldn't imagine how fanatical the believers would become.

'Lady Sasha has performed miracles before, but the miracle that healed the Black Knight's wrist pales in comparison to the 'miracle of abundance' she spoke of at the meeting.'

Something earth-shattering was about to happen, and Zorn and all the bishops went all out to promote the little girl.

"The divine messenger will accompany the reinforcements on their expedition, and the demon Simon will surely flee in terror under the goddess's majesty."

"All those who are migrating, you can rest assured! The divine messenger will perform miracles and provide you with an abundance of food."

"On the way to Jinxi City, Lady Sasha will randomly select a village and bestow a bountiful harvest upon it."

"Ah, don't worry about the villages that weren't chosen. Lady Sasha will visit them one by one after the rescue battle."

The missionaries traveled back and forth, spreading good news throughout all the parishes.

The soldiers, about to embark on their campaign, seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline. They were not afraid of the upcoming war at all; on the contrary, they were eager to witness the miracles performed by the angel.

"I wonder which village will be lucky enough to be selected."

"Let's set off quickly, I can't wait!"

"Haha, I wonder what a demon looks like."
