Chapter 362 -350 Edwell: Actually, We Have Already Achieved Our Strategic Objective!
“I believe that powerful thunder weapon must be their last resort!” Pulson said with certainty.
The many bishops present nodded in agreement, deeply convinced by the speculation that the blasphemers were already weak…
After all, there was no reason for them to have suffered such heavy losses while the opponents were still in full force, it was likely they were just a little short, and had withdrawn before the Wizards could no longer hold out.
“But how much would such a strong attack cost us?” a cardinal bishop asked, frowning in dissatisfaction.
If they were to siege the city without regard for casualties, even if they were to successfully capture the capital, the losses would be insupportable.

The allied forces of royal nobility could die for all they cared, but if the Divine Punishment Army and the Griffin Knight Order suffered too many losses, every one of them would end up before the Judgement Court!
For a moment, inside the stark white tent, dozens of bishops each aired their views, arguing until their faces turned red and their ears heated up.
The noise of dispute among the bishops made Edwell, who was sitting in the primary seat, look increasingly displeased, a suffocating pressure beginning to emanate throughout the tent.
The bishops present felt as if a force was forcibly suffocating them, and the voices of dispute in the tent quieted down almost instantly.
Even Pulson, who was also a cardinal bishop, felt extremely uncomfortable, as if something was suppressing his body and speaking seemed like an extravagant act.
Pulson turned his head with difficulty towards Edwell who sat in the highest seat, his face filled with shock, and immediately remembered the rumors he had heard within the church.
There was a rumor that Edwell had received the Lord’s grace and had taken that step, being the designated next Supreme Judge!
This expedition against the kingdom was to build momentum for Edwell, to help him earn enough merit to convince everyone.
Pulson had previously scoffed at this rumor, after all, whether in terms of seniority or devotion to the Lord, Edwell was not ranked among the top cardinal bishops, nor did he seem to have the qualifications to receive the Lord’s favor.
But now, it seemed that the claim was not without foundation!
When the tent finally quieted down completely, Edwell finally spoke.
“Gentlemen, the enemies we face this time are not the disorganized blasphemers of the past but come from Demon Land, hidden behind the scenes, controlling everything, having accumulated power for hundreds of years, even presuming to challenge the Church and the Wizard Council.”
“Of course, that is but the foolish delusions of the ignorant, but no one knows how many strange and powerful forms of witchcraft they have developed over the years, nor how many innocent souls they have devoured!”
“You should have already witnessed the new weapons those Wizards have developed,” Edwell continued as he surveyed those present.
“Just considering that weapon capable of firing thunder, how many among you can withstand it?”
The bishops were immediately stumped, all vividly remembering the terrifying speed of the Electromagnetic Railgun.
Pulson was somewhat indignant, thinking that if he had been the one targeted before, he could have avoided the attack before it reached him.
But after careful consideration, Pulson still refrained from rashly speaking out; he was confident in evading because the distance was sufficient, but if it were closer, within five hundred meters, several rounds of combined attacks would likely spell his doom.
“Therefore, this attempt was not without merit, as at least now we have some understanding of the new weapons those blasphemers possess,” Edwell said gravely.
In a sense, they had achieved the strategic objective of the first battle, having verified all the new weapons of the wizards mentioned in the kingdom’s classified reports.
As for that huge alchemical creation that could fly high into the sky, it had already been pressured by the Griffin Knights, no longer daring to ascend carelessly.
The only thing beyond his expectations was the unknown Thunder Net that covered a vast airspace, which directly inflicted heavy damage on the Griffin Knights and also deprived them of the possibility to swiftly conquer the capital.
After pondering for a moment, Edwell suddenly turned his gaze to the side, “Vid!
How much of the task I assigned to you has been completed?”
Vid immediately knelt on one knee, took out a blueprint, and said respectfully, “Reporting to Lord Edwell, we have already explored the defensive situation within the capital!”
Moved by a thought, the blueprint in Vid’s hand automatically levitated and unfolded in front of everyone.
The map of the entire capital was depicted on it.
This map had already been scrutinized several times on their journey here, but since the wizards had occupied this place for over two months, they had not previously known its internal changes.
Vid had undoubtedly recorded these changes, such as the thirty-seven locations within the capital that were protected by a Magic Barrier when it was attacked.
Places that might be granaries or armories were marked with red circles.
One area, guarded even more tightly than the palace by over a thousand riflemen and more than ten wizards, had nearly brought down a team of Griffin Knights who attempted a recon.
“This might be the gathering place of the wizards!” a bishop guessed.
A defense more secure than the capital could likely only belong to the residences of the great wizards.
“No, impossible!” Pulson shook his head.
The area was expansive, previously a training ground for the kingdom’s Knights; the grand wizards would never condescend to live in such a place.
It was most likely the manufacturing site for those witchcraft weapons!
To Pulson’s mild surprise, the places shielded by the Magic Barrier even included several churches within the capital.
It seemed that although the blasphemers had occupied the capital, they too feared divine majesty and dared not casually destroy the abodes that enshrined gods!
Thinking this, Pulson was completely unaware that these churches had not been demolished because their tall spires were suitable for making lead bullets, and in fact, the interiors had long since been drastically altered, even the statue of “Ella” had been melted—if he had known, he would undoubtedly storm into the capital and kill that despicable blasphemer.
“Very well!” Edwell, having looked over the map, a slight smile appeared on his face, and then he ordered someone to bring a noble of the kingdom up.
It was an elderly noble, roughly fifty years old, with a gaunt face and full of wrinkles; upon seeing Edwell, he couldn’t wait to bow in submission.
“Sir Suzz, I suppose the secret passages to the capital haven’t been damaged by those believers of the Evil God?” Edwell asked with conviction.
