Rebal's originally tense face instantly revealed a look of surprise, and then he couldn't help but laugh.

“So it's Her Holiness the Saintess!” His voice carried a hint of surprise and teasing.

The other border kings and Saint-ranked experts were stunned when they heard Rebal's words, and the attacks in their hands also stopped.

They carefully sized up the Saintess before them, their hearts filled with doubt.

Why would the Saintess suddenly appear here in this time of war?

Was her arrival a blessing or a curse?

“Saintess, you are quite bold, why did you intrude into our camp?” Border King Guventer frowned, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

The Saintess smiled slightly, a smile as warm as the spring sun, making people feel incomparably warm and at ease.

“Esteemed border kings, please do not be angry. I have come here this time to discuss important matters concerning our common cause.” Her voice was clear and melodious, like heavenly music, echoing within the camp.

Upon hearing the Saintess's words, the crowd exchanged glances, a hint of hesitation flashing in their eyes.

Although they were skeptical of the Saintess's sudden arrival, they did not want to easily offend the Saintess of the Radiant Temple at this crucial moment.

Thus, the crowd put away their weapons and returned to their positions, waiting for the Saintess to continue.

“A mere Lolan City has stopped the iron hooves of a two-hundred-thousand-strong army, have you all been slacking off?” The Saintess Alicia moved her lotus steps lightly, a faint smile on her lips, her tone carrying a hint of teasing, as she slowly spoke.

This light and airy sentence was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

The faces of the border kings instantly darkened, and anger burned fiercely in their eyes.

“Your Holiness the Saintess, those words are inappropriate!” A border king suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with anger, and retorted loudly, “That Lolan City is heavily guarded by Prince Oltriff, and there are those damned magic cannons. Our soldiers are fighting to the death, how can you say we are slacking off?”

“That's right, we have already suffered heavy losses, Your Holiness the Saintess, do not speak sarcastic words here!” Another border king echoed, his tone full of indignation.

Rebal watched the tense scene, but he was not flustered, and the smile remained on his face.

“It seems that Your Holiness the Saintess has a way to capture Lolan City.” His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just right to break the tense atmosphere.

You must know that they have been attacking Lolan City for more than ten days. During this long period, they have invested a large amount of troops and materials, and lost more than 20,000 elite infantry. Just today, they lost more than a thousand elite knights. Even so, Lolan City is still like an indestructible fortress, firmly blocking their steps.

Now, someone is actually saying that they can bring a way to take down this city that has been giving them a headache, how could this not surprise these border kings?

“Your Holiness the Saintess, please enlighten us!” Border King Guventer took the lead in speaking, his tone no longer containing the anger from before, replaced by full of anticipation.

The other border kings also echoed, “Yes, Your Holiness the Saintess, quickly tell us your method.”

Alicia looked at the eager appearance of the crowd, smiled slightly, a hint of mystery in that smile, “Everyone, be patient, and listen to me slowly explain…”

Inside the tent, everyone's gazes were tightly focused on her, waiting for her to speak the key strategy that could change the battle.

Alicia slowly and unhurriedly explained her plan. The border kings in the camp were still somewhat skeptical at first, but as she spoke, the expressions of the crowd gradually changed, their eyes widening more and more,

and the haze on their faces was gradually replaced by surprise.

When she finished speaking, many people couldn't help but nod lightly, their eyes flashing with excitement.

Just as the border kings were still immersed in this seemingly feasible plan, Alicia changed the subject, her eyes firm as she said: “However, if you want me to assist in capturing Lolan City, you must recognize my church as the orthodox one, and me as the Pope of the new Radiant Holy Church.”

As soon as these words came out, the tent fell silent.

The four alien border kings looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

In their original plan, the imperial royal family was certainly strong, but not the most daunting opponent. The real huge obstacle standing in their way to seize the throne was the Radiant Temple.

As the orthodox human race, the Radiant Temple has a very wide range of believers on this continent, and its influence is almost everywhere.

They have always been the most steadfast opponents of alien races, and they are merciless towards any alien force that may threaten human rule.

In the past years, the actions of the alien border kings have been closely monitored by the Radiant Temple, and any slight change would be suppressed by them.

For the border kings, the Radiant Temple is like a mountain that is difficult to cross, constantly weighing them down.

But now, the condition put forward by Alicia has allowed them to see a glimmer of hope.

If they can support a new Radiant Holy Church and make Alicia the Pope, so as to contain the Radiant Temple, then they will have one less powerful enemy on the road to seize the throne.

Thinking of this, a desert king took the lead in speaking, his eyes full of anticipation: “Your Holiness the Saintess, we can consider your conditions. But I wonder how confident this new Radiant Holy Church is to compete with the Radiant Temple?”

Alicia smiled slightly and said confidently: “Everyone, rest assured, although my church is new, it is by no means without foundation. Moreover, I have a way to quickly gather believers under our banner. As long as we work together sincerely,

we will definitely be able to compete with the Radiant Temple.”

The other alien border kings nodded in agreement after hearing this.

In their opinion, this may be a chance worth taking.

If they can use Alicia's power to not only capture Lolan City, but also gain a foothold in the confrontation with the Radiant Temple, then their dream of seizing the human orthodox will no longer be just a distant fantasy.

“Okay, we agree to your conditions!” The Mountain King slammed the table and said firmly, “As long as we can capture Lolan City, we will recognize your church as the orthodox one and respect you as the Pope!”
