A courtier bowed down and advised the king:

  “Four priests of Rupellion went to the battle and the Holy Pope Pedrian went into a fast prayer to complete the holy war, so he is not able to move at all. The best warriors of both nations are tied up at the moment. If we attack, we will be able to expand our territory effortlessly.”


  It was an obvious logical conclusion; missing this opportunity would be foolish.

  “No, leave it.” The Golden Wise King thought differently.

  “This is a situation where two opponents are fighting each other and, at the same time, cutting each other’s throat. On the surface, it appears to be the fight of a ruthless and mad god, but they are both behaving rationally according to their beliefs.”


  Neither would step down. Sungjin wouldn’t give up the poor girl, and Rupellion wouldn’t change their unwavering faith.

  “Ah……!”


  “If we make a move, they may have the opportunity to stop and rest. We need to attack them from the back where they have no chance to retreat. That way they will have no choice but to go on the defense.” He was looking at the big picture.

  His vision was beyond normal. The courtier was impressed and bowed down again.

  “Yes, Your Majesty.”


  “Until then, just wait.”


  “Yes, Your Majesty.”
