Chapter 224
During this time a serious meeting was taking place the headquarters of the Radiant Church,
The Fifth Cardinal Rene activated the rune and showed how Johnson and his Templars died, "What do you guys think about their deaths?"
One of the Bishops spoke, "Gruesome, inglorious and unjustified . It seems they have weapons that are more dangerous than the ballistas . We need to do something about it . The Good thing is, now we can attack them without any interference from the Royal Family or anyone else as that arrogant count has decided to secede . "
One of the cardinals with a big mustache spoke, "Not necessarily a good thing, as we can see from the rune, General Irwin too was injured quite a lot and it seems he too had decided to run after watching the fates of his soldiers . Count John's soldiers didn't have a single loss or negligible losses as seen previously . And from the looks of it, they are pretty much prepared for everything from how they seceded . How do we fight those demonic weird weapons? I am afraid that this time we have made an incredibly dangerous enemy . I say more dangerous than prince Lukavv . "
Gabriel, the Oldest Cardinal nodded and spoke with a grave face, "I think we should withdraw for now or else we will face more losses . 20,000+ Templars in one day is not a small number . Not to mention their productibility (Because of light magic) that we lost, how will we recover those losses? From my point of view, that count has simply flipped the whole damn table by seceding and bringing in a new weapon of warfare . That General too is a big surprise this time around . I think we made a big mistake by agreeing with King Lionheart's previous deal . It would have been better if the Royal family and that Count would had just duked it out . I think that he was adviced by Eanred as he himself seemed reluctant but he unwillingly still conducted this deal . From the looks, they were heding their bets when they attacked that count .
Eighth Cardinal Richard smirked and finally attacked Pope David, "From the start we were wrong, We should had allied with that count from the beginning, who knows we would have gotten those weapons in our hands and may also be able to twist the Royal family as we wished . Without even capturing the Aelius kingdom we would have created enough influence with the help of those printing machine in spreading our ideology while having enough power with those Ballistas and these new Cannons . The Royal family would have to heed to our demands even if they didn't like it . But now we have a big situation in our hands . We pretty much lost enough face against that Count . I hope the remaining personnel at Dolores remains safe . Do you have anything to say, Pope David?"
A lot of cardinals agreed with Gabriel and the other Cardinals including Richard as they looked towards David with some amusement because Pope David was the one who wanted conflict with that count .
Pope David was raging throughout this battle but he kept his emotions in check during this meeting, he knew he would be targeted after his previous blunder, he calmly spoke, "I guess we certainly made a blunder but if we allied with that Count then we would be facing a big war with the Royal family because of that guy's secession which would have lead to invasion from the demons in the west and dwarves in the east . You should know that most of the guys are out for blood when it comes to Radiant Church not to mention that count's increased interactions with other species . I think that guy has dealt with devils as he has a lot of unknown and weird weapons . As far as the personnel at Dolores is concerned, they will remain safe since Francis too would have gotten the message of Johnson's death . As far as dealing with him is concerned, I am sure Lionheart won't take this secession lying down and send his Dragon knights and the magician squads to deal with them . We can strike when they are engaged . "
Richard sniggered as he heard David and spoke in a deriding manner, "You missed one point, i . e . Eanred . Do you think he will fail to see such maneuvers?"
David laughed as he heard Richard, "Hmph, That Old man has long lost his abilities . If not, then he would have certainly seen such an outcome of the previous battle . And as far as he is concerned we too can use our sages to block his vision . I guess he faced the same problems in not getting a single vision as us when it came to that count? Do any of you think that some sage is supporting that count from the shadows?"

Richard wanted to rebuke him but didn't after watching his master Gabriel .
There was constant bickering going on in the Meeting as they couldn't reach a conclusion because of their internal struggle .

Next Morning,
Amber was currently traveling with Emena, Binz and their escorts towards North-Frontier City on their carriages and horses .
At this time Amber asked Binz, "What is the history of this disease Black Death? I have only read a little about it . "
Binz thought a bit as he recalled "As far as I know, About 500 years ago, I think this disease was created by a Undead Sage magician Xylo who had incredible hate towards the Knights as he has lost his eye at a young age to a military commander in Aelius who later became a General, Since he was poor he always wanted to join the knights and lead a happy life but he was stuck with reality . Only later he was adopted by a wandering magician . "
Emena too remembered and spoke, "Yes, this disease was first seen in the war between him (with his undead) and the forces of Aelius . Later from the rumors, it is said that he had indulged in Undead arts when he was rejected by the military because of his feeble body . After the war, he disappeared completely . The General and all of his knights died from the Black Death disease . Not a lot of people know about his end . He had only written a book before he left . A lot of people got to know about this and hence forced a change in the military of Aelius . He left quite a big legacy when it came to magic . "
Amber was amused as he spoke, "Hmm . . . Now, this is interesting . I never knew that undead arts existed . "
Emena spoke, "The reason for it is that Undead arts are banned on this continent because everyone fears the lack of emotion from Undead magicians as they grow and hence the ban . A lot of Villages faced massacres because of their non-stop experimentation in pursuit of eternal knowledge . The Kingdom had run out of offenders for their experimentation and hence the result was ban when things got out of control . We too have banned it for the same reason . Meanwhile, when will we reach North-frontier?"
Amber looked at geography and then the map, he spoke, "I think we would reach in about a few hours . "
