Even though the warrior leaders formed a human wall to block Meredith, she slipped through easily. Mei'er tried to stop her, but her efforts were in vain.
He was clearly in a state of suppressing energy consumption, yet he became particularly agile at this unnecessary moment.
"You can't come over here!" Oscar hinted at her with his eyes, but Meredith wouldn't stop at that. She only wanted to protect her Ao, so she rushed over and hugged him.
As expected, Oscar and Bart's expressions both twitched stiffly.
"Oh, oh, Oscar! You're deliberately showing off in front of me!"
"You misunderstood!"
"What misunderstanding? Look at you now. You're just making up stories."
He was absolutely right—Oscar thought to himself.
It's no wonder, because Meredith is now wearing Oscar's favorite maid outfit.
In the end, no matter how much the women tried to persuade her, Meredith still insisted on wearing the maid outfit that Oscar had carefully made for her and refused to give in.
Even if you put aside your own preferences, objectively speaking, she does look very cute in this outfit.
She wore a white headdress with light ruffles on her head, and today she also had two pigtails, which was rare. The fluffy headband like cotton was also very cute.
In addition, Mireidi now has lost her usual innocence and liveliness. Her already beautiful face, with her collarbone and shoulders exposed, makes her look inexplicably charming.
The great achievements of this perverted gentleman before us are truly very, very extraordinary.
The fact that Meredith wore the outfit without a problem pierced a particularly delicate part of Bart's soul.
In addition,
"Ao is... mine."
""!?"
The two men's expressions twitched again for another reason.
"...Even if it's Bart, you're not allowed to bully him."
After saying that, Meredith hugged Oscar even tighter.
"M- ...
"don't want."
Such a conversation is equivalent to lighting the fuse of a bomb.
Everyone present raised their heads and sighed, then the sound of something disconnecting was heard.
"It's time to bring down divine punishment on the hateful real-life! Aegis────!!"
The embodiment of jealousy is born.
Afterwards, all the warrior captains including Nizu, Bando and Shim went out to suppress the riot and finally managed to calm the situation.
However, perhaps because Bart had channeled his jealousy into strength, his skills were even more refined than in the previous battle. The combination of Aegis, which could devour any magic, and his exquisite technique was truly threatening.
This incident made everyone present realize once again that Bart's strength as the second-in-command of the "Liberator" faction was unquestionable. He was indeed the "Knight Hunter" feared even by the Church.
However, the distance between him and Lutilis also grew even greater. He would definitely never have the chance to be intimate with her.
After this little episode, the meeting finally began.
Everyone sat down around a long wooden table. Lutilis sat at the head of the table. To her left sat members of the Republic, including Chancellor Pasha Mir, Ursine Chapter Master Shim Gardo, Werewolf Guerrilla Commander Balf Lugar, and Winged Aerial Commander Nilk Zuk. Guard Captain Creed Wuls quietly stood behind Lutilis.
Sitting on the right were, in order, Miley, Oscar, Mel, Naz, Bandu, then Bart, Marshall, and Michaela.
In addition, Colleen actually also attended the meeting, sitting quietly in the seat between Bandu and Bart.
She seemed worried that she wasn't qualified to attend such a meeting and seemed a little hesitant. However, everyone thought she could attend, or rather, they really wanted her to attend.
In order to use her incomparable maternal love and tolerance to suppress this jealous evil spirit.
Even Bart couldn't act too strong in front of such a little girl.
Although he sat with his arms folded across his chest, looking unhappy, when he glanced to the side and met Colleen's eyes, she gave him a gentle smile. Bart couldn't help but hum a low "wooo," and for some reason, his mood became much calmer.
Colleen came here and showed her prowess in many ways.
"Alright, regarding our country's post-war internal situation, that's as we've just confirmed. Is there anything else you need to add?"
The Pasha who was presiding over the meeting said this and looked around at everyone in the room.
Even Miledi had heard about matters related to the Republic, including the progress of the revival and the status of the tree, so no one raised any additional issues.
Seeing this, Pasha nodded and moved on to the next topic.
"Next, let's discuss the situation in neighboring countries. Let's begin with the Odion Federation. Mr. Bart, please."
"Yes. It's still the same over there, no movement at all. Agris is so quiet it hardly seems like the capital of the General State. They're clearly afraid of a counterattack."
Everyone lived in fear every day. Those affiliated with the Church of Agris were in deep despair, their situation essentially like being abandoned in the enemy camp.
"Although the leaders have tried to stop the advance of the Western nations, it seems they are unable to stop it."
"Has the new CEO been chosen?"
Shim asked, his face looking rather bitter.
"Not yet. The selection of a new leader was originally based on the five-yearly mock war, but they clearly don't have the energy to deal with that right now... There's not even anyone willing to nominate themselves."
After all, no one could have imagined facing such difficult times after a defeat. From any perspective, becoming the chief now would be like drawing the worst luck, and no one would dare to avoid it.
"It's no wonder. Even the former president, Detelf, who was completely innocent, ended up like that."
“…That’s true.”
The former chief, Detelf, took all the responsibility and was executed.
No matter how unreasonable the Divine Kingdom's demands, this warrior-like leader always gritted his teeth and persevered. Before the Knights Templar could fully retreat, they personally executed him.
Outsiders would think that they did this in order to blame the defeat entirely on the Federation's mistakes.
Of course, this wasn't the case. The rationale for doing so was simply to prevent the defeat from damaging the Church's prestige, a completely foolish move. In reality, this didn't achieve the desired effect at all; it was practically just using the former Grand Master as a punching bag.
"It's so unfortunate."
Shim murmured with deep regret.
In his mind, Detelf was a great warrior.
Although he was forced to do so by the church's orders, he was deeply distressed to order his compatriots to launch a suicidal assault.
Even though he laughed at his own powerlessness, he still stayed on the battlefield as a warrior.
As they faced off on the battlefield and exchanged names, Shim could clearly sense his determination.
Despite their different races, as warriors, both parties can understand each other's state of mind.
Although they did not fight each other in the end, Sim actually hoped that if the world change advocated by Meredith could come true, he might have a chance to have a drink with him.
Sim's reaction made Michaela and Marshall a little embarrassed to speak, but they still added:
"I've been monitoring the situation in Agris City, and it seems that decisions are currently being made through meetings between the leaders of the various nations participating in the war."
"I've also been gathering intelligence from the military, but... they're completely defeated. The current Federation Army is in complete disarray. They've suffered countless casualties, and more importantly, their morale has been completely shattered by the defeat."
"That's the way it is. There's nothing to worry about in the Federation at the moment."
Even if the Kingdom of God issues another order to the Federation, it will not be able to do anything to the Republic.
Hearing Bart's conclusion, Pasha nodded deeply.
"So, Mr. Nizu, what is the situation in the Grandat Empire?"
"Morale has been severely damaged and has yet to recover."
"No wonder. Their proud air force was almost shot down by me and Ben."
"The main gun was also blocked by Natsu, causing almost no damage."
This would undoubtedly have dealt a heavy blow to the empire's pride. Coupled with the defeat of the so-called "absolute" divine kingdom, chaos would have reigned supreme.
Even after a month, the chaos has not yet completely subsided.
"Besides, our army infiltrated the area before the air force even arrived, and carried out a lot of sabotage. They're probably tracking down the culprit right now."
Of course, the criminals who took action were Xiu Xiu, Tony, Ivy and others from the former Lesin branch's implementation team, as well as the Xuni clan led by Margaret, and Hauser, Almeida and others, the former branch chiefs of the Anguliv branch.
"That's no wonder. We have to do this, or the Empire's reputation will be in jeopardy. As the searches become more stringent, Hauser and his men have begun dispersing and moving bases."
"Natsu, are Margaret and the others okay?"
"No problem. They are actively disrupting the search and engaging in guerrilla warfare."
"Actively disrupting...?"
"Yes, and it's very positive. It also allows them to relieve stress."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean? What pressure? What's wrong with them?"
Bandu couldn't help but stand up and interrupt. After all, that was a very important member of his tribe.
However, when Natsu answered him, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"'I really want to fight alongside Ban-sama'...that's what she said."
“…I see.”
It seems that Miss Margaret really wants to be with her beloved Mr. Ben.
Disrupting the Empire was a significant undertaking. She certainly understood that.
However, emotionally, during such a crucial moment in war, she still wanted to be by his side. It wasn't just her, I'm sure all the Xuni felt the same way.
Incidentally, in the Imperial Capital, a group of white-clad individuals sometimes appear, leading monsters to defeat the Empire's soldiers. Perhaps to relieve stress, their methods have become increasingly aggressive, and recently, the phrase "If you don't behave, white-clad individuals riding monsters will come and get you" has become a common refrain among adults in the Imperial Capital when disciplining their children.
That’s enough digression.
"Ban...are you a traitor too..."
"Uncle Bart! Calm down!"
“Hmm…!”
In the corner of the view, the little girl was trying to stop the jealous uncle.
That uncle was very troublesome and no one dared to look him in the eye.
"Come to think of it, now they're pure terrorists. Haha."
"I feel a bit sympathetic towards the Empire."
Balfe and Neilk had awkward smiles on their faces.
In any case, it is certain that the empire currently does not have the extra energy to retaliate against the sea of trees.
"So, what's going on between the countries?"
The defeat of the Kingdom of God was news that shook the entire world. Whether good or bad, it was bound to have a profound impact.
Perhaps in some countries, the church's "absolute" status will be shaken as a result.
For example, a country that is dissatisfied with the Kingdom of God and wants to keep its distance.
Or a country with ignited ambitions.
While she hoped that the forces opposing the Church would grow, she also worried about the unnecessary war that would ensue—Lutilis's words revealed this sentiment.
Bart then explained the information received from the Liberator headquarters.
"There haven't been any suspicious moves from the Shardor Alliance or the Igdol Demon Kingdom. At least not this quickly."
These two countries are located at the other end and the southernmost tip of the continent respectively, and they must have just received the news of the end of the war.
"As for the Principality of Uldia, they've only ended their food aid. The Kingdom of Beruka and the Commercial City of Entris are also very quiet. Right now, everyone is holding their breath, waiting to see how the Kingdom of God will act."
"I see. In other words, the shockwaves were so overwhelming that everyone was unable to take action... you could say that."
Lutilis concluded this, and everyone present agreed.
This also means that according to the expectations of countries around the world, the victory of the Republic is impossible.
"And the crucial Kingdom of God hasn't made any moves, including regarding Rouse Byrne."
Pasha confirmed again, and Bart and Natsu both nodded.
"Should we say this is truly a country closest to the feet of God? Even small villages have priests who thoroughly govern the people. Everyone's faith in God is far more devout and unwavering than in other countries."
