So I'm a sheep.

The current situation in the Kingdom of Brundo also proves Sasha's deduction. If there were a saint in charge of the temple, it wouldn't be in such a mess, unable to send out even the slightest reinforcement.

"My Friend"

Priscilla wiped away her tears: "The Duchy is now in dire straits, and I am deeply distressed by it."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, with me here, no one can hurt you," Sasha said earnestly.

“I am not worried about myself, I am only worried about the duchy.”

“Your Highness, you pray to the god Ambori every day, and I believe the god will hear your voice.”

"..."

Seeing that the half-dragon girl was still pretending to be stupid, the princess finally couldn't help but speak her mind.

"Saya, my country needs your help. My father promises that we are willing to bear any cost we can afford!"

“Oh, Priscilla, you’ve really misunderstood.”

The girl shook her head repeatedly: "Why would I, a legendary figure standing at the pinnacle of mortals, covet the meager benefits offered by your Pound family?"

Your noble character makes me feel ashamed.

The princess immediately seized the opportunity: "I will remember your friendship, and the entire Kingdom of Brendo will remember your friendship!"

"no no no"

Sasha still shook her head: "Even if you say that, I still can't make a move."

"why?"

“Normally it would be fine, but what time is it now? It’s a chaotic age when gods descend to earth and saints walk on the land.”

“This is the time when ambitious people and blasphemers are most likely to emerge. I can’t let the great god Ambori misunderstand me.”

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

Sasha's meaning was somewhat ambiguous, and Priscilla clearly didn't understand.

Seeing the bewildered princess, the girl smiled and said, "You can relay my words to Grand Duke Pound; he will understand what I mean."

"..."

"Father, what exactly does Saya mean?"

After the half-dragon girl left, Priscilla immediately had her guards bring the Grand Duke over.

After hearing his daughter's words, Archduke Pound's face turned ashen, and his lips trembled as he remained silent for a long time.

"Father?"

"Don't ask her for help again. Also, remember to keep your distance from that lunatic!"

The gods did not perish; they merely descended to the mortal realm.

Saya must have lost her mind to dare challenge the authority of the god Ambrosia at a time like this.

For a moment, the idea of ​​exposing the half-dragon girl to the temple arose in Grand Duke Pound's mind, but when he thought of the current situation of the Ocean Temple, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Father, Saya is our only lifeline right now!"

Priscilla said anxiously, "What riddle is she playing on you? She..."

"Stop talking."

Grand Duke Pound said in a deep voice, "Those sea monsters can only be powerful in the sea. They don't have legs, so they won't come here to harm us."

"There are indeed some scoundrels stirring up public sentiment, but it doesn't matter. As long as the army doesn't act recklessly, the principality will not be in chaos!"

"I have ordered a pay raise for all soldiers. It's alright, everything will be fine."

After briefly testing Grand Duke Pound's attitude, Sasha was immediately met with a cold reception.

Not only was Priscilla no longer enthusiastic when she saw her, but she also lost her previous VIP treatment.

The most obvious change is that the standard of meals has been significantly reduced. Of course, the maids explained that the duchy is currently facing difficulties, and everyone's meals are not as good as before.

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

Faced with such a cold reception, the more thin-skinned legends turned and left, but Sasha didn't care.

It was impossible for Grand Duke Pound to agree immediately; in fact, the fact that he didn't choose to immediately report himself to the Temple of the Sea was already a good start.

'Faith sustained by power is only so-so; in this respect, it can't compare to us angels.'

Although the Goddess Churches in all worlds are fundamentally maintained by power, objectively speaking, in addition to imparting power, the Goddess Churches also give believers other invaluable things.

This is something that the Temple of the Ocean cannot compare to at all, and is far beyond its reach.

After wandering around the Duke's mansion for a while, Sasha found the butler and asked him for a few books.

Then, she squatted down in her room, and the half-dragon Saya completely transformed into a literary girl.

The idea that sirens can only roam the sea is a deeply held belief among the people of the Duchy of Brundo.

It is true that the sirens have never set foot on land since the establishment of the duchy, but that does not mean they lack the ability to do so.

Why didn't you go ashore before?

Because powerful, intelligent sea monsters were keeping them at bay and had not allowed them to come ashore.

Why would a powerful, intelligent sea monster restrain them?

A: This is the will of the God Ambori.

The will remains unchanged, but the god Ambori is no longer here.

Sea monsters possess intelligence, but their minds are not complicated.

God is gone, what use are his wills now!

Whoosh—whoosh—

Under the pitch-black night, the waves surged.

With a long cry, countless sea monsters crawled ashore.

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

"Can anyone tell me why those sirens are amphibious creatures?!"

Grand Duke Pound waved his hands meaninglessly, saying incredulously, "Sirens can't come ashore, isn't that common sense?"

"..."

“My lord, in this chaotic age, it seems that those ‘common sense’ are no longer applicable.”

The knight commander said resolutely, "Although the sirens can come ashore, those monsters are extremely unaccustomed to the dry environment."

"With enough courage, even an ordinary soldier can easily take down a siren!"

Upon hearing this, Archduke Pound's expression softened slightly.

"The problem is that there are too many of them!"

Another knight said in a deep voice, "Only the great god Ambori knows how many sea monsters are in the ocean. But even the dumbest soldier on the battlefield will immediately realize that the enemy outnumbers us by more than ten times!"

"The siren won't cooperate, and once they're on land, their individual strength isn't very high. We can win!"

"Your Excellency, can you guarantee this with your own confidence?"

"I can!"

"You bullshit!"

Seeing his two capable lieutenants arguing fiercely, Grand Duke Pound felt his head spin.

Volume 1: Chapter 505 Compromise

"Your Highness, the Duchy of Brundo should relocate inland. The coastal areas are too dangerous now. If we stay here, we will be slowly devoured by those abominable sea monsters!"

"Absolutely not! My lord, this is our homeland, how can we just abandon it like that?"

"The scourge of the siren can be quelled by the warriors' bravery; leave everything to me."

"Ha, you want to seize power for yourself?"

"Shut up, you treacherous minister!"

"enough!"

Grand Duke Pang roared, "This is not the time for arguing! I have made up my mind to live and die with this Brendo!"

"We're not going anywhere; those sirens should just obediently go back to the sea."

Relocating inland sounds simple.

What is the current situation in inland China?

The world is in chaos, saints are in hiding, demigods are emerging one after another, and demon lords are descending in droves. It's a scene straight out of the apocalypse!

For the Duchy of Brundo to struggle for survival in the interior is undoubtedly an abyss-level challenge.

Compared to them, the siren are already quite cute.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"As you command"

Grand Duke Pound was determined to protect his homeland. Since he was not good at commanding troops, he handed over the command of the army to his knight commander.

The reserve supplies were distributed generously, and several ordinary soldiers who had made meritorious contributions were specially selected and knighted to inspire morale.

After implementing every possible measure, Grand Duke Pound knelt before the largest statue of Ambrose in the ducal palace and prayed fervently.

'Ambori, my one and only true God, please bless your followers and drive away the siren.'

May you return to heaven soon, and may your glory once again shine upon Brendo.

'...'

'My Lord, bless me, bless me so that I will never yield to that madman.'

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

Although the knight commander was full of confidence, believing that the bravery of his soldiers would be enough to eliminate the threat of the siren, he had clearly overlooked one thing.
