The Holy Church had just recently received a major setback in San Antonio facing the Chaos Abyss. The Holy Knights and low-level angels had suffered severe losses due to the return of the Troll Empire and the demon army. Although the physical losses could be made up for, it would be far more difficult for the Holy Church to recover its reputation.
Not only that, the Northlands, as part of the Hell Faction, just had a glorious victory, which would make the Holy Church seem like even more of a loser… Indeed, the people of Eich viewed the result of what happened when fighting against Donatis and the demon wave as a victory. As for the death of all the Elven Gods? That was something destined the moment that the demon wave chose its first location to descend upon.
