After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

"Anyway, now that the situation is stable, anything else to say, Brave Aize?"

The Knights and Crusades of the Church of the Supreme God have excellent equipment directly supplied by the church workshop. In addition to the enchantment system, their conventional weapons and armor are also better than those of the armies of other countries.

Its members come from various human countries.

They are either extremely devout believers or warriors who voluntarily join the group out of deep hatred for the demons. Therefore, their fighting spirit is extremely high and they are unlikely to collapse.

In the previous battle on the Anlin Plain, Aize was able to defeat the witch army that far outnumbered his own with the help of 1000+ elite church knights.

In addition to proper tactical command, the super combat effectiveness of the Crusader Knights themselves is also an important reason.

Therefore, if there are really thousands of Crusade troops participating in this battle, the success rate of the prince's plan can really be raised by several levels.

As for using the church's combat power as a backup, it was just a polite remark.

If a war really breaks out, they will definitely find a way to send the church's army to the front line first, so as to save the elite forces directly under the empire to prevent accidents.

He is quite good at calculating.

But the problem is that this so-called jihad army is nothing but water-injected meat.

A very small number of holy war knights and the so-called members of the Pure White Saint Sect who volunteered to join the expedition were called an army, but in fact they were just a mob.

The church sent this group of people out and even generously gave them a lot of equipment. In fact, it wanted to use the demons to completely eliminate this destabilizing factor.

It would be even better if Rosaline herself died on the battlefield.

In essence, it is no different from throwing away garbage during a spring cleaning - it is still hazardous waste.

Adrian, who knew nothing about the riots that had occurred in the Holy City and the church before, was treated like a trash can without realizing it, and even thought that the church had changed its nature.

It's just like being sold and then helping to count the money.

If the little prince regards their assistance as a necessary condition for victory... then Aize can only say that it would be more decent to stab his own neck as soon as possible.

Not to mention, there is the disturbing factor of Rosaline.

This guy's purpose and plan, as well as his abilities, are still unknown to this day, and no one knows what kind of trouble he will cause in the future.

Identified as sent.

After rubbing his eyes, Aize removed his hand, cheered himself up, and decided to try to salvage the situation before it became irreparable.

"Your Highness, do you know what happened in the Holy City some time ago?"

Adrian raised his eyebrows and rolled his eyes at Aize:

"Of course I heard about it. The number one chosen hero, Leah Alfred, lost control and caused a huge riot. Haha, I heard that the church's top leaders were killed in pieces, and the survivors are terrified. Who knows what will happen next."

As he said this, he sneered:

"It's not a bad thing, is it? I've met that Leah Alfred. Well, it's because of idiots like that that I've always felt that the so-called Supreme God Realm is completely untrustworthy. Come to think of it, that guy seems to be your former teammate?"

Aize nodded grimly.

"Ha, that's really hard work. But having said that, I really have to thank her. If she hadn't made such a big joke, how could the church agree to provide me with assistance so easily? Hahahahahaha——"

The Empire undoubtedly had spies in the Holy City. Plus, the commotion was so huge, and so much time had passed, so naturally they knew about it.

The problem is, we know, but we don’t know much.

Due to the slow transmission of intelligence and the church's own cover-up, he knew nothing about the outrageous events that occurred in the trial and the subsequent developments.

Although his evaluation of Leah was quite correct and pertinent, he was completely unaware that he had been treated as a trash can by the church's top leaders.

But there is nothing we can do.

This is what the so-called information gap is.

Aize shook his head:

"As you said, this riot has thrown the church's leadership into complete chaos, paralyzing many departments. Under these circumstances, why do you think the church will send any serious combat forces to you?"

Due to the need for confidentiality, Aize cannot explain everything too clearly, otherwise it will be troublesome if he is asked how he knows.

So he chose to attack indirectly.

Anyway, the prince knew that Aize knew that the prince knew, so he could naturally understand the meaning.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Adrian's expression immediately became solemn:

"...What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is, is this so-called jihad army safe?"

"Why? The church's creed is to repel demons and defend humanity, and yet they send me a bunch of new recruits?"

In the past, the church certainly wouldn't destroy its own reputation, but now...

It’s good for new recruits, at least there is room for training, preparation and improving combat effectiveness.

Fanatic...tsk tsk tsk.

Aize shrugged:

"I didn't say that. It's just that, as a former God's Chosen Hero, I know the Church's ways all too well. There's definitely something wrong with this arrangement. You'd better be more cautious. After all... this is such an important plan, right?"

These words are not very convincing, after all, Aize is suspected of disparaging his former club.

But Adrian is a smart man. After listening to what Aize said, he will definitely be more careful.

In this way, when the information about the trial and subsequent Pure White Saint Sect is delivered to Adrian, he will be able to connect it with what Aize said, and then realize the fatal mistake in his plan.

The worst outcome can be avoided.

Guiding others to reach a conclusion is far more persuasive than telling them the conclusion yourself.

"Yeah...I know, I will, don't worry."

After a brief thought, Adrian nodded slowly.

It has achieved the desired effect.

Then--

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo..."

With heavy breathing, Marquis Karside, who had just knelt outside, appeared at the entrance of the reception room belatedly.

Compared to his high-spirited look just now, he now looked very bad, and even his eyes were bloodshot.

The prince was shocked:

"Marquis? What's the matter with you? Is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay, Your Highness, please don't worry..."

After forcing a smile to fool around, he walked straight to Aize.

"You...what the hell is wrong with you!? Why did you suddenly marry my daughter? Did you inform me? Did you visit me? Did you get my permission? None of that! Then what gives you the right!?"

The look in his eyes made it seem like if there weren't other people present, he would just pick up the young man in front of him and press him against the wall.

But putting aside the attitude, the question itself was quite routine, and Aize had of course prepared his response long ago.

So he answered calmly:

"Your Excellency, we have indeed failed to fulfill our obligations in this matter. I am deeply sorry. Please allow me to explain the whole story."

The Earl sneered, his expression becoming more ferocious:

"Explain!? I think it's just a quibble!? Tell me! How on earth did you, a person from another world, deceive my daughter? And—"

"master!"

Perhaps noticing her daughter's increasingly discontented and gloomy expression, the Countess, who had been present but remained silent, suddenly spoke:

"Chris and Aize must be very tired after traveling all the way from the kingdom. They have a banquet to attend tonight. Let them rest for a while."

This was certainly to help Aize out, but how could the Earl, who was already a little angry, let him go so easily?

"No! This little bastard must explain everything clearly before leaving! Otherwise..."

"otherwise?"

Maybe it was an illusion, but for a moment, Aize did see the blue veins bulging on the Countess's forehead.

"His Royal Highness is here! Please don't make these family matters too awkward. Besides, as the most famous God-chosen warrior and hero against the demons, how could Aize be unworthy of Chris? Don't forget who was the one who couldn't protect your daughter in the first place and had no choice but to send her away? You still have the nerve to blame others!?"

The aura, which was gentle and tranquil at the beginning, became increasingly terrifying, and the tone and voice gradually became higher.

This made the Earl, who had been so aggressive just now, shrink back a lot:

"No, that's what I said, but... no matter what, I still need your consent..."

"Did we get your father's consent back then? Or do you still think it's not okay without his consent?"

"That was not what I meant……"

The princes watching were bewildered, and Aize didn't know what to do. On the contrary, the servants nearby cooperated and turned their eyes away, as if they were used to it.

"My mother was said to be of commoner origin. After joining the Guards, she met my father on the battlefield and then got married."

Chris came over and explained quietly.

"It is said that my grandfather was strongly opposed at that time and even threatened to kick my father out of the house."

"What kind of ridiculous plot is this..."

Seeing that a one-sided couple quarrel was about to begin, Aize also turned his eyes away.

"In the final analysis, it's because you've always been like this that my daughter avoids you. Why...oh."

The Duchess was halfway through her complaints when she suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to say this at the moment.

He looked at Aize again, his kind smile unchanged from when they first met, as if the anger just now had never existed.

"Your Highness, Aize, Chris, you should all go and rest first. The rooms have been cleaned up."

Chapter 33 Normal Arrangement

After watching the Marquis being dragged away by his wife, they, led by two castle maids, left the living room and went up the stairs.

"Chrissy."

"Um?"

"What on earth is going on with your parents...uh, what's going on?"

It would be a bit disrespectful to directly say that an aristocratic man is henpecked and afraid of his wife, but Aize tried for several seconds and couldn't find a sufficiently faithful and elegant expression.

We can only use this ambiguous statement.

The Knight Girl seemed quite casual about this:

"It's nothing, they've always been like this... Aize, don't worry. Mother is always kind to everyone except Father. If she continues to be like this, you won't have to worry too much about being bullied in the future."

"I've heard my generals mention it."

Prince Adrian, who was walking in front, continued to move forward and suddenly spoke.

"It's said that during my father's generation, there was a woman of commoner origin who rose through the ranks from guard to imperial guard through her own strength. If she hadn't retired and married, she might have even been awarded a title. I never thought she actually existed, and she was the wife of the Marquis of Karside."

The Imperial Guards, an elite human combat force similar to the Kingdom's Knights, are primarily heavy infantry and often serve as vanguards in extremely brutal flesh-crushing battles. They are the Empire's most powerful bulwark against the demons.

Most of its members were of noble birth, and although recruitment was theoretically open to commoners, those who were not particularly outstanding would not be accepted at all.

He was able to join these teams without any background, survive fierce battles and retire, and still be intact without any missing limbs.

He is indeed a top-notch ruthless person.

It seems that Chris does have something in terms of blood relationship.

How come it has become so crooked now?

Aize couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Arriving at a corridor, Adrian, the guest, was led by the maid in the opposite direction of Aize because he was going to the guest room.

"Brave Aize, since you've arrived as the Kingdom's regent, I won't send you back. Why don't you just stay and see the Imperial Army in action? See you later~"

After leaving a harsh remark with an arrogant expression, the prince with golden hair left quickly without looking back.

There was no chance for Chris to come up and disgust him with the so-called "second place".

Aize was too lazy to care about this simple rudeness that was not even a provocation, so he continued to follow the maid to the door of the room.
