Who are you calling a stable boy?!

Before Likun could speak, Heparipni said with a smile.

"...Where did you find out?"

"If you honestly hand over the goods, I might as well tell you."

"I cannot make that decision."

"Then go ask Razmir, but you'd better hurry, you know I'm never very patient."

With that, Heparipni turned off the magical projection.

"You old codger, you'll be begging me someday!"

She muttered something, then suddenly frowned and cried out in pain.

The blood-red runes began to bleed.

Heparipni raised his hand, wanting to touch it, but his hand froze in mid-air due to fear.

"Almost there, almost there..."

She was indeed deceiving Likun, but there was one thing she said that was true.

Baphomet has indeed lost patience with Razmir.

Or rather, her father, like her, had already seen through Razmir's outward strength but inner weakness in this material plane.

Therefore, she no longer needs to act.

Heparipni knew very well why her father had sent her here.

She wasn't there to help Razmir.

Rather, it's quite the opposite.

She came to prevent Razmir from ascending to godhood.

Or rather, this was one of the purposes for which Baphomet sent her here.

After all, a conman nearing the end of his life is much easier to manipulate than a genuine living god.

Moreover, it wasn't just her side; Heparipni knew that Rikaliha was definitely carrying out a similar mission as well.

At least that's what Descartes definitely meant.

She estimated that the demons Descarry would send next would completely break ties with Likun.

Therefore, having realized that Razmir was truly incapable of resisting the Holy Expeditionary Force alone, especially now that a chosen one, the Monkey King, had emerged from that force, Heparipni had to hurry up and complete her other important task.

Baphomet was very interested in the magic that Razmir had taught the Dragon Emperor.

If Heparipnir can successfully obtain this item, he will not only be able to absolve himself of the guilt of losing the Silverstone, but also regain Baphomet's favor!

Of course, she didn't expect to get Li Kun to comply with just a few words.

But what she wanted was to put Likun and Razmir in a difficult position.

"My lord, shall I summon the generals of all your departments?"

Behind her, an elven slave, dressed only in rags, knelt on the ground and asked with a fawning expression.

Heparipni raised his eyes, looked at her, smiled, sat down on the sofa, and crossed his legs.

"You're very smart, come here."

Seeing this, the elven slave happily crawled to her side and reached out to hold Heparipni's feet in his hands—

"Snapped."

With a single kick, 19 points of force, Heparipni's sharp heel pierced the elven slave's skull.

She stood up and casually stomped on the elven slave's head, crushing it. She then smeared the brain matter from her heel onto the bear-hair carpet.

Summon the generals of all departments?

doing what?

To make a comeback and seek revenge against the expeditionary force?

Then let me ask you.

Is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, chosen by the gods, someone who can be dealt with easily?

Could that staff, which is clearly a legendary weapon, withstand it?

How do you deal with a natural defense that even legendary weapons can't break?

Answer me!

How can we fight without Silverstone's Confusion?

Huh? Answer me!

You brainless demons who only know how to hold grudges, answer me!

Let me ask you again.

They've already managed to get through the chosen ones, but she's just one of Baphoba's many children, and not even the most capable one. Even the Father God doesn't care anymore, so how do you expect her to fight now?

What can we use to fight?

say!

Now, tie her and Li Kun together and send them to fight that chosen one named Zheng Jing. Do you think Li Kun dares to fight? Huh?

Can they both survive?

What else is there to say?

I just can't win.

She didn't come here to win this war in the first place, so what's the point of risking her life now?

But even though she couldn't win, what Heparipni least wanted to hear at that moment was someone reminding her that she couldn't win.

Heparipnni squinted as he looked down at his now intact right hand.

"Zheng Jing..."

-

Even after the victory celebration, the war continued.

However, the expeditionary force could all see that the end of this holy war was not far off.

However, the expeditionary force's strategy did not become more urgent as a result.

At the commander's instruction, YOYO, as the vanguard officer, first ordered the situation around the fortress to be rectified.

Based on Zheng Jing's reply, the expeditionary force could determine that the army under Heparipuni, who was responsible for guarding the central part of the True God Army's occupied territory, had been basically annihilated.

Even if Heparipuni wanted to fight again, he could only wait for Likun, who was further back, to send a new army.

This process was sufficient for the expeditionary force to stabilize the advanced front lines.

that's the truth.

Three days later, at the headquarters of the fortress city now renamed Nantianmen, YOYO, as the chief vanguard officer, convened a combat meeting.

The goal is to strike at the heart of the enemy and deliver the final blow in this holy war!

Chapter 327: Zheng He Kills Wu Jin

The content of the meeting, or rather, the expeditionary force's strategy, was not complicated.

The fact that Heparipni's army was scattered by Zheng Jing means that the True God Army is now wide open. The expeditionary force only needs to drive straight in to enter the core area that the True God Army calls the Promised Land, which is directly controlled by Likun, one of the high priests of Razmir and a Saint-level master.

According to intelligence, that place was originally the capital of the theocracy. It is unknown what methods Likun used to make the theocracy, which originally worshipped the six great gods, now follow the lead of Razmir and turn a blind eye to the demons under the command of Baphomet and Descari.

Frankly, this was a problem for the expeditionary force.

These righteous warriors, fighting for goodness and justice, do not wish for any nation in this material plane to be destroyed because of this holy war.

At least for now.

Especially for a country like the Theocracy, based on intelligence from various sources, most of the righteous men in the expeditionary force believed that there was a very high possibility that the Theocracy was being misled and controlled by the Razmir sect.

If possible, the expeditionary force still hopes to save the Theocracy from the clutches of the Razmir sect.

If the expeditionary force truly wanted to achieve this goal, the only measure it could take was to carry out the decapitation strikes most commonly used by the Crusaders against the demons.

Send a powerful squad to infiltrate the capital of the Holy Kingdom and eliminate Likun.

Although the Razmir sect doesn't collapse like the demons when their leader dies, the True God's army, already suffering heavy losses, will completely crumble once Rikun, their last pillar, falls.

Once the True God Army disperses, the expeditionary force's hidden agents within the church can seize the opportunity to lead those ambitious individuals within the church to take action.

At that time, YOYO will lead the main force of the expeditionary force to attack from the front. With this coordinated attack from within and without, even if the Razmir sect has the will to resist, it will be unable to bind the entire theocracy to their ship of sin that is destined to sink.

The plan, while not foolproof, is certainly feasible.

However, the most crucial question here is: who should be sent to eliminate Likun?

Although the expeditionary force had planted many spies within the church, assassinating Likun deep behind enemy lines was tantamount to fighting on Razmir's home turf, a mission with a slim chance of survival... no! It should be described as a mission with no chance of survival!

Who should be sent, and who is willing to go?

"Then it has to be me."

Zheng Jing smiled and gave himself a thumbs-up.

-

The first sentry post on the official road in front of the north gate of the capital of the Kingdom of Christianity.

"Wow, that's really tight."

She lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing black hair and golden eyes. She watched as the boy, who was not even ten years old, looked back at the sentry post they had just passed and sighed with a grin.

"Since the True God's army suffered heavy losses, the closer we get to the capital, the stricter the checkpoints and inspections on the official roads become."

Inside the carriage, the red-haired woman sitting opposite the boy lowered her eyes and explained in a gentle tone, "So please be a little careful not to attract too much attention, Lord Zheng."

"I know, I know!"

Zheng Jing waved his hand in agreement, closed the curtains, picked up a fruit from the small table, and squatted down on the down cushion to eat it.

The red-haired woman glanced at Zheng Jing, then turned her gaze to the tall figure beside him who was dressed in dark armor even inside the carriage.

"...Lord Sha Wujin, I did not expect that only you and Lord Zheng Zhexing would be here to pay my respects. Please forgive me if there has been any inadequacy in our hospitality along the way."

"Huh? Ah, um, it's alright."

It took Momoga two seconds to realize that Sha Wujin was calling him.

In fact, Zheng Jing's initial idea was to kill Nali Kun himself, since the key to this matter was to have the right people, not the most capable.

But at the meeting, Momoga expressed his desire to join the decapitation squad.

He admitted that his request contained a strong sense of personal motive.

On the one hand, he wanted to take revenge on Razmir himself, and in that case, Likun became the best target.

On the other hand, he also wanted to witness Razmir's defeat firsthand, otherwise he wouldn't be able to rest easy.

But there are significant risks involved in bringing him along.

He was well aware of this as well.

So, upon hearing Zheng Jing nod in agreement without hesitation, Momoga immediately made a trip back to the Great Tomb and stuffed all the useful assets she had into her spatial backpack.

This was not only because he wanted to ensure that Razmir's plan was completely thwarted, but also because he genuinely did not want to betray Zheng Jing's trust.

...However, he still needs some time to get used to this code name, "Killing Enlightenment."

He and Zheng Jing were going to disguise themselves and infiltrate the capital of the religious state, so they naturally had to change their names. After all, whether it was Momoga or Zheng Jing, these two names were probably already marked in the Razmir sect.

Zheng Jing, on the other hand, was relaxed and cheerfully reported his name as "Zhexing Zheng".

When it was his turn, Momoga was in a dilemma.

He actually has trouble coming up with names; he spent a lot of sleepless nights trying to name his divine outfit back then.

So Zheng Jing took the initiative and took the character "悟" from Suzuki Satoru's name, ordering him to kill Wu Jin.

Momoga didn't have any objections to the code name, but she was still a little unaccustomed to it.

“Ms. Cassandra, is that right?”
