---- Chapter 2956 Mephiston, who had been resting with his eyes closed, finally opened them. Those were eyes like vast oceans, deep and fathomless. "Kass, calm down and take it easy. Warwick City is just a border town with little strategic significance or value. Use your army to deal with Storm City and Abyss City instead." Kass roared, "But Your Eminence, you heard it yourself. Someone from the Ludendorff family dared to directly insult our Lord. This is tant sphemy, and they must be burned alive." Mephiston smiled faintly.
"Devils are devils precisely because they dare say and do anything. But why would our Lord even notice these pitiful creatures? Do what you''re supposed to do and don''t worry about the rest. Our target is Throne City, the Ludendorff family''s headquarters." Kass pressed his chest and bowed his head. "Yes, Your Eminence!" Mephiston added, "As for Storm City, you will go there personally. Handle everything ording to the Pope''s instructions. The Church epts surrender and the rehabilitation of these sinners.
But if they remain stubbornly defiant, then let them turn to ash by our holy light." ---- Kass''s expression changed. "Your Eminence, there are 200 thousand people in Storm City. If weunch a full assault, I''m afraid..." Mephiston waved his hand dismissively. "Remember this: whether it''s 200 thousand, 500 thousand or a million people, it''s not a problem. Only those who enter our Lord''s embrace deserve redemption. The rest should be purified!" Reverence filled Kass''s eyes.
"You''re wise as always, Your Eminence." Mephiston remembered something else and asked, "There''s news about that Andrew Lloyd from Holtrien, right? His sins are equally grave. He defiled Rosemary, the Ivory Seraph, and sent her to hell. The Church must make him pay for his crimes!" Kass shook his head. "No news yet. However, someone did spot Reginald''s Dragonfang organization near Abyss City." Mephiston replied, "Send them all to confess and atone before the Lord, Also, Jeffrey, you failed in your duty and became a deserter. This truly dishonors the Church and the glory of our Lord.
"From this moment, you''re no longer a squad captain, just a rank- and-file warrior. The battle for Storm City is about to begin. Go there and fight on the front lines to prove you''re truly the Lord''s ---- faithful servant. Can you do it?" Jeffrey''s face turned deathly pale, but he still forced a bitterugh. "Yes, Your Eminence!" Storm City was where the strongest fighters gathered, where heretical resistance was most vicious, and the hardest nut to crack. It was basically a meat grinder, a hellish battlefield Jeffrey knew exactly why Mephiston was sending him there.
Although he was told he was going to defend the Lord''s glory, Jeffrey cursed inwardly. He knew damn well this was sending him off to a straight-up suicide mission. Thinking about all the bragging he had done back in Warwick City, Jeffrey wanted to p himself twice. It was all because of his big mouth, talking about earning glory and proving himself in bigger cities. Well, congrattions to him. His dream hade true, and he was about to meet the Lord very soon.
