“Extra! Extra! The Kingdom declares war on Feysac!”

Klein was sitting in a carriage as he returned to Backlund from Meige Manor, listening to the loud shouts of the newsboys running quickly on the street.

Although he had been prepared for this, after confirming that the war had really broken out, Klein still sighed and his mood became a little depressed.

"The hatred of the loss of the key territory of Sonia Island... the entanglement of colonial interests... the failure of the previous war... the economic downturn caused by pollution control... the massive bankruptcy of domestic farmers due to the impact of foreign grain products since the enactment of the Corn Act... the extremely poor living conditions of the lower classes... the widening gap between the rich and the poor...

"The middle class is blindly confident in Loen's national strength and is eager to have the opportunity to improve their status... The conflicts between different political parties in the upper class are intensifying and tearing each other apart... The king and his faction want a large-scale war... With so many factors added together, from an objective perspective and from a materialistic point of view, it is almost inevitable for Loen to export war... Reality is the best writer..." Klein stepped out of his past position and re-examined the situation in Loen from the perspective of an observer. He found that the tide of the times has already formed and is rolling in. Without the advent of a true god, it is really unstoppable.

In comparison, he was more puzzled as to why the Feysac Empire was willing to initiate a war.

Even if a member of a certain ancient secret organization is indeed a high-ranking official of Feysac or the Church of the God of War, and is a key figure who is qualified to make decisions, it is impossible for him to make a dictatorial decision on such an important matter. And how could others agree to a world war?

“Could it be that the contradictions among all classes in Feysac have also completely intensified, and they are in urgent need of a war?” Klein did not have enough knowledge about the northern empire, so it was difficult for him to make an accurate judgment. “But they had just won the East Balam War and gained more colonial benefits. There is no reason why the situation would be worse than Loen’s… Well, the royal Einhorn family controls the Red Priest path, so it is understandable that they desire war, but there is no reason for the Church of the God of War not to stop it. As a member of the Alliance of Positive Gods, they lack sufficient motivation to help Amon’s brother advance to Sequence 0.”

Thinking of this, Klein suddenly had a guess:

"Did Amon's brother realize that the goddess had obtained the 'uniqueness' of the 'God of Death' path, and at the critical moment, revealed this information to the 'God of War' church? The 'God of War' and the goddess are on adjacent paths, so it is impossible for him to ignore this matter and he will definitely respond violently...

"Of course, it may not be done by Amon's brother. It may also be that the angel Haitel, who was sent by the Artificial God of Death of the Spirit Cult, discovered the abnormality in advance under the reminder of the conspiracy expert Soren Einhorn Medici. On the one hand, he pretended not to notice anything and continued to arrange the test. On the other hand, he introduced the 'God of War' Church to make the situation worse and more chaotic... The 'Red Angel' evil spirit is really a symbol of war...

"If this is true, then it is inevitable that Feysac will start a war, and the 'uniqueness' of the 'God of Death' path cannot be reconciled at all. At the critical moment, the 'God of War' may come directly, and the God War that has not appeared since the Fourth Epoch will break out...

“This time, Feysac’s airship formation was able to pass through the coastal area of ​​nearly 100 kilometers to Backlund extremely stealthily without being detected. It must have been protected by the ‘Weather Warlock’. Otherwise, even if they took a detour to a sparsely populated area, they would definitely be seen in advance and would be intercepted by the Loen airship troops… ‘Weather Warlock’, this is an angel. Since the Fifth Epoch, the number of times this level of Beyonders has appeared in wars is absolutely rare… After the fall of the Great Emperor, in various colonial wars, most soldiers did not even know that there were Beyonders… What does the action of this ‘Weather Warlock’ mean…

“This is really a war that sweeps the entire world and involves all levels. Is this what Amon’s brother wants?

"At that time, what positions will the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Mother Earth, the God of Steam and Machinery, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom choose respectively? Will the conflicts between them that have been suppressed for a thousand or two thousand years become more intense?

"'Mother Earth' likes giants, and even among her favored ones there are Feysac people. The Feynaport Kingdom has a deep hatred for Loen and Intis because of the split between Renburg, Masi, and Segar. The will of the kingship and the divine power is likely to be unified. It is very likely that they will form an alliance with Feysac and attack Loen and Intis from south to north. Of course, the countries of Renburg and the Church of Knowledge in the middle will definitely try to stop them. Uh... In the Disi Bay, Feynaport and Loen are directly adjacent, so there will be no peace in the south..."

The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that the situation in the northern continent would become extremely chaotic, and no matter which aspect, he would be unable to stop it.

Even for a Sequence 4 demigod, in this era, in a situation that could lead to a war of gods, there is no way for him to exert a key influence. It would be good enough if he could protect himself and the people he cares about.

When the Feysac airship attacked, Klein immediately arranged for his butler Walter and others to hide in the underground area that served as a wine cellar, and then "teleported" to Backlund University of Technology. At that time, a bomb had already fallen there, killing some people and injuring others. The only thing Klein was thankful for was that his sister Melissa was not within the explosion range.

After Melissa and Benson met up, Feysac's airship did not stay for long and quickly evacuated Backlund before returning to Dwayne Dantès's mansion.

Huh... Klein exhaled slowly and turned to look out the window. He saw that after the pedestrians on the street heard the kingdom declare war on Feysac, a small number of them looked terrified, as if they recalled the air raid in the early morning. Most of them looked confused and a little panicked, wanting to do something but not knowing how to do it.

They may not be able to truly realize what such a war will bring, but they instinctively feel that the peace has been broken, and the future is chaotic and full of dangerous unknowns.

Klein withdrew his gaze and looked at Enuni, the personal servant opposite him. He found that he was also a little confused from his eyes.

With a half-laugh and a half-sigh, Klein raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He put away his frustration and helplessness and thought about what he could do and what he needed to pay attention to:

"In any case, with the experience and lessons learned this time, the king's faction has launched the war as they wished. Before Loen is completely defeated, it is almost impossible for Feysac to invade Backlund again. It is safer for Benson and Melissa to stay here...

"What we need to worry about is the shortage of food and various assassinations. The latter is not a big deal. Melissa and Benson live in a place and their own level. They are not in contact with important people who are easy to be assassinated, so they will not be affected. Fortunately, Portland Momont's laboratory has just been established and has not produced any results. It will not become a target that must be destroyed. As for the former, Miss Audrey can provide some "assistance"...

"Winter County, where the cathedral is located, is located in the northernmost part of the kingdom, adjacent to Feysac. It is the front line of every war. Ms. Arianna may return there to help the military. Well, she may also be sent to other places to protect the coast. After all, Backlund's defense is sufficient. The royal family must have '0' level seals and angels. The three major churches probably also have hidden means... In this way, my biggest support is gone. At most, I can get a certain degree of assistance from the church and use some seals...

“I wasn’t too worried about the impact that the return of the evil spirit of the Red Angel would have on me before, but now I must be more vigilant in this regard.

"Patrick Braine is well aware that Dwayne Dantès is equal to Gehrman Sparrow and equal to the 'Death Blesser'. I revealed this on purpose in the hope of drawing suspicion to Mr. Azik, the 'Death Archon'. Now, this means that it won't take long for the 'Red Angel' evil spirit to get hold of this information...

"The Red Angel's evil spirit is only at a high level at the moment, and its actual level should not have recovered to the angel level. I don't have any unresolved hatred with him, and he doesn't have anything he wants. Even if he knows that Dantes is equal to Gehrman Sparrow, the possibility of him coming directly to deal with me is very low...

“Besides taking direct action, what other harm will come from understanding this situation?

"Use this to set up a conspiracy, or sell the information to someone who needs it?

"What conspiracy... who would need..."

Klein's mind flashed with ideas and names one after another, but he quickly ruled them out. These included Amon's brother and the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroboros. Judging from the previous actions of the "Red Angel" evil spirit, it is unlikely that he will come into contact with the "Redemption Rose" people. Amon's brother and the Medici are mortal enemies.

Suddenly, a name popped up in Klein's mind:

"Zaratul!"

Zaratul, the leader of the secret society, went from madness to normality. The "Fortune Teller" Path Sequence 1 Angel Zaratul!

According to the feedback from the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes, this powerful and secretive being has left his original location and is missing.

Klein had previously speculated whether Zaratul would come to Backlund because of the Beyonder characteristic, the Law of Aggregation.

"The Medici, Zaratul, and Zoroaster families all serve the Solomon Empire. Even if they are not friends, they must be very familiar with each other... Zaratul met Gehrman Sparrow in the misty town. If he is really looking for something, he will definitely go after the crazy adventurer..." Klein's heart moved, and he instinctively began to assume that Zaratul was in Backlund and was looking for Gehrman Sparrow's traces, and used this as a premise to analyze other anomalies.

Almost instantly, Klein remembered something: Sharon and the others' failed joint operation with the vampires.

"The Rose School is also looking for Gehrman Sparrow. Will Zaratul, who has received the corresponding information, cooperate with them?

"The operation was almost successful at the time. The person in charge of the Rose School in Backlund evacuated in a hurry. It was obvious that he did not realize the problem until the last minute. This is unlikely to happen when the vampires have prepared the corresponding seals. Even the Duke was puzzled and puzzled. But what if, what if it was the intuitive premonition of a Sequence 1 Angel of the Fortune Teller Path?

“That explains it perfectly!

"At that time, Zaratul was sitting opposite the head of the Rose School, Backlund?

"During the hasty evacuation of the Rose School, they deliberately left behind puppets to create moonlight and cleanse everything. Was it to cover up the existence of Zaratul?

"Also, it's no secret that Gehrman Sparrow has some connection with the 'Archon of Death'. Will Zaratul have secret dolls everywhere to sense whether Backlund has the power of death? When Patrick Braine was performing the ceremony before, there was actually a Zaratul secret doll watching nearby?

"If the Red Angel ghost has already sold the information to Zaratul, then wouldn't it be a trap for me to return to Böklund Street in this chaotic situation?"

Klein's eyes narrowed, and he immediately spoke to the driver in front of him:

"Just stop here, I suddenly remembered that there are some other things that need to be taken care of."

After saying this, Klein became extremely nervous, fearing that the driver would not be able to respond and would continue driving forward.

Fortunately, none of this happened. The carriage pulled over, and Klein and his valet, Enuni, walked toward a nearby alley.

Then, he snapped his fingers in an empty place, letting red flames emerge from his pockets and cover himself and the secret doll.

He had to get to St. Samuel's Church as quickly and secretly as possible!

In a flash of fire, Klein and Enuni disappeared from the spot.

But after he completed a jump, the flames he sensed suddenly disappeared, all of them.

A spacious living room immediately appeared before his eyes. On an ordinary armchair, half leaning and half lying was a tall, thin, young man of southern continent descent, with good features but a pale complexion.

The evil spirit of the "Red Angel", Soren Einhorn Medici!

The "Red Angel" was playing with a ball of red flame in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little bit:

“I noticed it earlier than I expected.

"Heh, playing 'flame jump' in front of me..."
