Far in the distance, if you went deeper, you could see massive cities that had started to form.

Angeles radiating divine lights patrolled the sky as humans, beastmen, and other races worked in the city in harmony.

In the middle of the city, instead of a mansion, a large church was created as people lined from day to night to pray to the Holy One.

"So, is this one of the cities governed by the Angel Lord?"

A man spoke as he looked at the city with astonishment in his eyes. Seeing the smiles and healthy bodies of the citizens of the city, he could help but envy them.

"Silence!"

Shouted the man leading them, he looked like someone in their late thirties, he was wearing a custom-tailored battle suit, and a greatsword hung behind him.

He was the one leading this group of a hundred; they were the citizen of the Night Holy Empire, the same empire that the Angel lord had been in war with for a while.

As for why he was here, well, it’s simple to negotiate, after all, in the empire he is both a general and a politician haling for a ducal family.

Plus, with his strength as a peak mortal king, he is the perfect person to lead such a team. They have been travelling for days and have finally reached the area controlled by the angel lord.

"Do you wish to seek out the lord?"

Just as they were talking among themselves, an imposing voice was heard as a group of angles decended from the sky.

The one leading them was wearing pure gold armor with six wings on his back; he was leading a small group of four winged angels.

"Yes, I presume our message has reached you."

Sard said as he looked at the angle, he also released his aura a little to make sure that his group wasn’t suppressed.

"Yes, we have gotten your message."

The angle said with an expressionless voice as he gave one of the angles following him a signal.

The angle gave a small nod as he took a step forward. He raised his hands as a decree was unfolded, and he started to recite it.

"Oh~ Messengers from the Empire."

"I have heard your call, and I, too, don’t wish for this senseless war to continue any longer."

"As a servant of the Holy One, I only wish to serve the masses and guide them with that radiant holy light."

"Thus, I welcome you with open arms."

"Please allow my Angels to guide you and show you the path toward the holy future."

As the angel spoke, he tried to mimic the tone of the decree as he handed it to Sard after finishing reciting it.

Sard read it one more time as he nodded his head. He more or less guessed the intention of the angle lord.

As for the fact that these angles will be leading them, well, it can be considered a form of open surveillance. After all, how could he allow them to roam free in his territory?

He was also quite happy with this, after all, and open surveillance is better than a covert one.

"Then you are our guide, Mr ?"

"You can just call me War Angel."

The angel spoke; he had just given the name of his post, as for a name, not all angels deserve to have such honor.

"Undertood."

Sard said as he narrowed his eyes, the term War Angel meant that he was someone who normally served in war. Just the fact that he was acting as a guide should be a kind of warning for them.

"Then, if I may, I have a presumptuous request."

Sard spoke as if he were a little embarrassed; the war angle looked at him, perhaps he noticed his acting, perhaps he didn’t.

"Speak."

"I would like to visit other cities governed under the blessing of the Great Holy One."

Hearing his world the people following him looked at him with surprised and confused eyes. After all, they were at war just a few weeks ago, and to ask such a thing.

After all, the placement of the city for a newly forming, relatively unknown empire can be considered of strategic value.

"Sure, though we won’t stay in any city and will continue our journey toward the holy capital so as not to make my lord wait."

The angle said as if not caring for the strategic value such information may have, seeing the humans released a sigh of relief.

As for Sard, he also showed a joyful expression, though inwardly he was quite calm. In fact, he was trying to figure out why the angel accepted his request.

After a while, he couldn’t think of a logical reason, so he put it in the back of his mind for now. After all, there is no need to worry about uncontrollable things for now.

Time started to pass as a week went by, and the group of humans had now reached the holy capital, or the only city under the newie protection.

Compared to a week ago, a smile hung on most of the delegates’ faces as some of them looked at the holy city with shining eyes.

Unknown to Sard, or perhaps unnoticed by him, they hid a level of faith comparable to a devout believer.

Yes, in just this week, these humans who once had pride about their own nation and culture have now become devotees of the faith of their enemies.

Even Sard, unnoticed by him, started to have a good impression on this holy empire on a subconscious level.

He had come with two missions: one was to meet the angel lord and make a deal with him, and the other was to check the living conditions of the people under his rule.

After all, they had already decided to hand over the city that the angel lord was attacking; thus, as humans, they must at least be sure that the humans left behind will be cared for.

If the angle treated the humans under him as slaves, then they would bear the cost and leave the city completely empty.

But now they don’t need to do that, with what he has seen this week, he is more than happy to leave the people of the city for the angel lord to handle.

Just as he was having such a thought, the War Angel looked at him with a look of hidden mockery as if he could hear his thoughts.

Sard looked at the massive city in front of him with a hidden shock. Although in terms of size it couldn’t be compared to the capital of his empire.

But in terms of grandeur, perhaps this city was even higher; it looked like something that fell straight out of heaven.

The entire city was covered with a soft white glow, and even the common house was built with artistic beauty.

There was no building that stood out like an eyesore; each building seemed to be placed with a purpose.

A pure and clear river ran throughout the city. He watched as the people of the city walked with contented faces.

He looked forward and saw a massive cathedral standing in the middle of the city. He watched angels flying in the sky covered in radiance. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

His body tensed as he sensed an unimaginably strong aura coming from the cathedral in the center of the city.

"Follow me."

The war angel said as Sard broke out of his stupor, his body relaxed as he followed the angel. Unknown to him, a soft white glow had started to appear in his eyes.

The people following him also started to show some abnormalities, even those who didn’t contain the trace of faith started to sprout faith.

As for those who already had faith, their faith started to become even more frantic; this time, they didn’t even care to hide it.

Under normal circumstances, Sard would have noticed this anomaly, but it was too bad that even he had already started to fall.

They walked deeper into the city as the white glow hidden inside their eye continued to brighten.

Inside the cathedral, Yaman watched all of this with a soft smile; his face carried a holy glow, and his eyes showed a level of wisdom he shouldn’t have.

Angelia stood behind him like a servant, unlike her usual self, she was quite as watched ’Yaman’.

Normally, she would have treated him like a servant, an equal in some circumstances, but would have never allowed him to treat her like a servant.

"They have arrived, they carry a wind of history and stories."

Yaman said as he closed his eyes, as if savoring something, a small smile appeared on his face as he looked at Angelia.

"Continue as Planned."
