The God's Games

Since King Varis was focused on how Ulon City was holding up against the demon forces, Hanjun had no intention of hiding anything and gave a general overview of the situation there.

This was something he was happy to explain to the king.

King Varis nodded his head in realization, "Is that so?"

Then he became serious and asked Hanjun, "With the help of the Church of Light, can the demons really be driven back?"

Hanjun replied with a question, "Who told you that just having the support of the Church of Light would make dealing with the demons easy?"

King Varis was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Hanjun meant.

Hanjun said, "The number of demons is endless, and they attack all countries on the world of eorera without distinction. Do you think that if Ulon City alone is defended, everything will be fine?"

He wasn't aiming to save just the Kingdom of Orinthia or any one specific person, but rather all the people who are willing to fight and survive among the millions.

Moreover, Hanjun was not offering his help for free, expecting people to sit back and wait to be saved.

He wanted to see the shining light within humans—the kind that made them worth saving.

Despite Hanjun's calm tone, the sharpness in his words still pricked King Varis's heart.

It was true; he had been worried about Orinthia's territory but had forgotten that this continent wasn't only his kingdom. Read exclusive chapters at empire

If the demons took over all the other countries, Orinthia would eventually be unable to stand alone.

In other words, at this moment, all the countries shared the same fate.

The safety of each country affected the safety of the entire continent.

Only by uniting could they see the dawn of victory.

After Hanjun's reminder, King Varis quickly realized the flaw in his thinking.

Once he understood, he struck his palm with his fist. "If that's the case, I will unite all the countries and hold a meeting so we can fight against the demons together."

...

Meanwhile, Duke Dzemael and Duke Haillenarte were walking along the road, leaving the royal palace.

The two of them had long heard that His Majesty would meet the Holy Son of the Church of Light today, so they quickly took the opportunity to find the king, hoping to persuade King Varis to use a strong hand to keep Hanjun before the king met him.

At first, King Varis seemed to agree very well, but when he met Hanjun, he didn't mention anything about what they had discussed earlier.

The two dukes quickly realized that King Varis had just been brushing them off before.

He clearly already had a plan.

"His Majesty is really quite guarded, even against the two of us," Duke Dzemael said.

Duke Haillenarte snorted, "Isn't that obvious?"

If he weren't cautious, how would King Varis have become king?

And without this kind of careful thinking, why would he have let Jenlyns take the Royal Knights to Ulon City?

Duke Dzemael said, "It seems His Majesty still has his own plans regarding the Church of Light. He wants them to protect Ulon City. As long as Ulon City exist, the Kingdom of Orinthia won't be destroyed. Clearly, His Majesty is only asking for the Church of Light's help to protect his own life."

Duke Haillenarte felt the same way, but he wasn't sure what King Varis would do next.

As they talked, one of them reached out his hand and gave the attendant guarding them a bright red ruby.

Seeing the sparkling gem, the attendant's eyes widened.

He stared at it for a long time before putting it away.

The attendant then said, "Don't worry, my lords. I will find someone to inform you of whatever His Majesty and the Holy Son discuss."

Only then did Duke Dzemael and Duke Haillenarte leave the palace gates, satisfied.

In their eyes, they believed that no one knew the entire palace was under their watchful eye.

They just need to waiting for someone to leak the information to them.

Afterward, they would go to the round table meeting and share everything they had learned today with their allies.

A companion dressed in black whispered in a voice that sounded like he had throat cancer, "In that case, we'll make sure the Holy Son never returns."

Duke Dzemael and Duke Haillenarte left the round table meeting and took off their hoods, both revealing smug smiles.

Duke Dzemael added, "I bet the Holy Son will never figure out where our base is."

Since King Varis had already decided to gather all the countries of the world of eorera for a meeting to discuss how to drive back the demons, it meant he was determined to take the lead on this issue.

Looking at it this way, King Varis seemed like a good leader.

He was able to identify the problems very quickly and find the solutions, which made Hanjun see him in a slightly different light.

So, Hanjun shared his own thoughts.

Indeed, with the help of the Church of Light, and the heroes who are acting as the spearhead, combined with everyone's efforts, it would be possible to defeat the demons.

In comparison, during the meeting of all the countries, it would be important to highlight the role of the Church of Light and encourage the nations to continue supporting and accepting the Church of Light, allowing its churches to revive across the world of eorera and attract more followers.

Once Hanjun's divine power was fully restored, there would no longer be a one-sided battle between light and darkness, and he could start a direct fight with the God of Darkness.

King Varis saw no problem with Hanjun's request and immediately agreed to it.

While they were talking, King Varis suddenly remembered that he originally wanted to ask Hanjun about the current situation in Ulon City.

Instead, he had been led by Hanjun into discussing the meeting of all the countries, and they had talked about it for so long.
