Atop the Holy Mountain, the atmosphere within the Clergy was growing more and more tense as the Human Alliance conference approached.
Even though the Blood Moon Horn had been recovered, the Clergy's dark history still added a certain "billion" worth of shame to its reputation.
Amid the deliberate exacerbation by various nations, bad news about the Clergy continued to circulate throughout the Continent of Aslante.
In some places, churches publicly declared that the Church Headquarters had fallen under the control of the devil and would no longer accept any orders from it.
Even the Clergy's activities within the Orc Empire were exposed. It was wildly rumored that the Orc invasion had been a repercussion faced by the Alpha Kingdom after offending the Clergy.
