I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 839 - 517: Prince Gerard’s Excitement

Chapter 839 -517: Prince Gerard’s Excitement

Inside the tent,

Gerard looked at the panting messenger and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Rubbing his temples, Gerard finally took the sealed small box from the messenger’s hand. After verifying it was correct, he opened the box and took out the sheepskin scroll inside.

“Is there anything happening in Cui Feng City recently?”

In the past few days, Gerard had been fully engrossed in the battle with the Archibald Kingdom and the Paluo Federation, and it was not until today that the fighting between both sides had come to a halt.

The Gorden Kingdom’s army had a brief period of rest and adjustment, while the coalition forces of the Archibald Kingdom and the Paluo Federation retreated to lick their wounds.

Both sides understood that this peace was only temporary.

Sooner or later, there would be more intense clashes.

What worried Gerard the most was that if this dragged on, the Gorden Kingdom was really going to be unable to hold on.

A few days ago, he received a secret report that the Kael Kingdom’s army had a conflict with the Gorden Kingdom’s patrol soldiers on the border between the two nations.

This indicated that the Kael Kingdom had begun probing, and if they also joined the siege against the Gorden Kingdom, it would truly be dangerous.

By then, the Gorden Kingdom would either have to abandon the territories annexed from several wars before and focus fully on domestic defenses,

or use all its strength to crush one of the armies, which could very likely lead to a total collapse of the situation, with the kingdom’s fall not being impossible.

The Royal Capital was also worried about this. His Majesty the King had even sent someone to ask for Gerard’s opinion on the matter.

Gerard was also quite troubled by this. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The current Gorden Kingdom was like a ship leaking in multiple places, and Prince Gerard and his men were the sailors desperately patching the holes.

Everyone knew that if they held on, the ship would have a new lease on life, and everyone onboard would reach a safe haven. But no one knew if the ship could survive this difficult time; the harm brought by panic was even greater than the threat of leaks.

Now, when Gerard saw the newly delivered intelligence, he felt a headache.

Who knew what new problem had arisen?

“Over in Cui Feng City, aside from earlier news of the Evil God believers appearing, there shouldn’t be anything else.”

“Even if there were remnants from the Archibald Kingdom and Paluo Federation, they wouldn’t pose a threat to Cui Feng City, right?”

Archil, who was sitting nearby, said in a comforting tone when he saw the situation.

He had been helping handle various affairs by Gerard’s side, while Angus Army Commander was still organizing the soldiers who had experienced battles.

“Let’s hope so!”

Gerard sighed and shook his head, then spread out the parchment in his hand.

“I really hope that Evil God believer has already been dealt with. There’s truly no extra strength to be spared for Cui Feng City.”

Gerard looked at the intelligence in his hand and slightly furrowed his brows.

Seeing this, Archil thought it was bad news again, and after sighing, he leaned back slightly in his chair.

After a moment of silence, Gerard passed the parchment in his hand to Archil with a strange expression and said:

“Archil, you take a look too.”

Archil found it odd. What news made Prince Gerard have such an attitude?

He took the parchment, glanced at the contents recorded on it, and slightly widened his eyes.

“Your Highness, is this…?”

Archil looked up at Gerard, a bit stunned.

The Evil God believer in Cui Feng City had been dealt with, which was quite good news.

After all, for the Gorden Kingdom’s army stationed in the Ely Hills, Cui Feng City was their most immediate rear base. If there were issues there, it would indeed be troublesome.

Although solving that Evil God believer was good news, it would not surprise Gerard and Archil.

More importantly, was the person who dealt with this Evil God believer.

The Elf Sage Lis Kain!

Gerard had heard the name before, as he was the first human ever granted the honor of Elf Sage by the Elf Kingdom.

One must know that with the Elf Kingdom’s hostile attitude towards humans, Lis becoming an Elf Sage was undoubtedly shocking to many.

After learning this, Gerard became quite interested.

He was quite interested in Lis Kain, but the distance between the Elf Kingdom and the Gorden Kingdom was considerable. Besides those long-distance merchants, there was almost no direct impact on the Gorden Kingdom.

So after a cursory understanding, Gerard did not pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, the esteemed Elf Sage had arrived at Gorden Kingdom’s Cui Feng City and even helped eliminate that Evil God believer.

Although the intelligence came from the Suffering God Church, Gerard did not doubt its authenticity.

Gerard had a heartfelt respect for the divine officers of the Suffering God Church.

What’s more, what good would it do to lie about this kind of thing?

After repeatedly examining the parchment in front of him, Archil placed it on the table before him.

“It’s not surprising that the Elf Sage appeared in Cui Feng City and dealt with this Evil God believer, but according to the report, he formed a mercenary group and took the task from the Mercenary Guild?”

“Indeed, that’s the case.”

Gerard nodded. This was also what intrigued him.

It was rare but not impossible for passing strong individuals to solve problems with Evil God believers on the way.
