The Holy Kingdom's resistance forces, after the simultaneous disappearance of Jaldabaoth and the Sorcerer King, shifted all their focus to dealing with the demi-humans. However, the consecutive battles had resulted in heavy losses for the entire army. Despite this, the soldiers remained highly motivated.
The fundamental reason for this was Yulia. With her outstanding appearance, genuine care for everyone, and, most importantly, being the strongest fighter in the Holy Kingdom's forces, Yulia had become the heart of the army.
Those who once admired Remedios had entirely shifted their admiration to Yulia.
As the saying goes, comparison brings harm. When comparing Remedios to Yulia, the former's flaws became glaringly apparent.
Remedios' biggest flaw was her disregard for the lives of her subordinates. She believed that everyone in the Holy Kingdom shared her mindset—that they would fight to the death without hesitation to kill demons.
Currently, although Remedios still held the position of Captain of the Holy Knights, none of the holy knights were willing to follow her orders unless Yulia spoke first.
At this moment, the Holy Kingdom's resistance forces had joined with the southern army, forming a total of 160,000 soldiers in the Holy Kingdom's grand army.
The demi-humans now had only an army of 60,000 remaining.
After the Southern Holy Kingdom forces joined with the resistance, Caspond assumed the position of supreme commander.
This was because he held the highest noble rank and was likely to become the next king of the Holy Kingdom.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Though some of the nobles felt discontent, Caspond's status as a royal placed him at the apex of the Holy Kingdom's power.
The decisive battle was approaching quickly.
At this moment, Remedios was training with her sword on the drill grounds. She wanted to grow stronger.
Only then could she defeat Jaldabaoth and avenge the Holy Queen Calca.
Meanwhile, Calca was in Shalltear's quarters on the third floor of Nazarick.
She was moving her body around.
By now, Calca had completely disregarded her own identity.
It was at this moment that Peroroncino came to Calca's location. Seeing her in such a state, Peroroncino suddenly felt a complete loss of desire.
The gap was simply too great.
The Holy Queen of the Holy Kingdom, Calca, had degenerated into a complete fool.
Peroroncino felt that having someone as eccentric as Shalltear was already more than enough.
Shalltear had also accompanied Peroroncino and was present when she saw Calca in her current state.
"Lord Peroroncino, please wait a moment!"
Shalltear took Calca into her dressing room.
Ten minutes later, Shalltear brought Calca out again.
Calca had been transformed back into the person Peroroncino first met—holy, dignified, and beautiful.
Peroroncino gently placed his hand on…
Calca swiftly slapped Peroroncino's hand away.
"Insolent fool! If you dare to act so disrespectfully again, I won't tolerate it."
"Marvelous!" Peroroncino couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at Calca in this form.
And then...
Peroroncino closed the door to Shalltear's bedroom.
......
In the Slane Theocracy, Nana ventured alone into its territory.
Nana wanted to do something for Peroroncino, but Yulia had told her that simply being obedient was enough.
However, helping the army assist the Holy Kingdom felt meaningless to Nana.
She then requested Yulia to assign her tasks that could truly aid Peroroncino.
Yulia told Nana that if she wanted to make Peroroncino happy, the best thing she could do at the moment was to go to the Slane Theocracy and become one of the Black Scriptures.
Without hesitation, Nana set off alone for the Slane Theocracy.
Yulia did not report this matter to Peroroncino. After all, it was such a trivial issue that there was no need to trouble the Supreme Being with it.
Only when Nana successfully became a member of the Black Scriptures would it be a matter worthy of reporting to the Supreme One.
