Having heard the Captain's words, Arthur understood the seriousness.
"But since they can use long range multi-person teleportation scrolls, can't they also use the same to come to the town?" Arthur asked in doubt. "Won't your departure give them a greater chance to act?"
"We did consider that." Guild master Caleb spoke this time. "And we already have a solution for that."
"The Church of Hestia… They'll be providing protection too this time." Captain Fredric revealed.
"They are?!" Arthur was surprised.
While churches of various gods did have the obligation to protect the people of the settlement it was located in, it still depended on several factors such as the size of the settlement.
The power of a church depended on its people and patronage, thus a church in a large city would have a lot more power than a church in a town. The town church would have limited influence and would usually only act when the church itself was threatened.
