Chapter 59 - Kingdom of the Church of Light

In the 136th Year of Iron, the Church of Light changed its calendar to the Years of Holy Light. This year, the Church officially declared itself to be the representative of God, and its position was solidified by the presence of the Saintess. The Pope and the Saintess were both seen as messengers of God. The Church's power expanded exponentially. By then, it had begun to control even more human kingdoms and even affected the kingdoms of the orcs as well. The Church's power began to overshadow the monarchy. The Saintess's supernatural power and status as a descendant of God were more than enough to convince the human rulers and noblemen of the Church's legitimacy.
