Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 305 Bureau

After speaking with the Duke of Wellington, Song Yufeng received the Duke's assurance that as long as Deeppool was fully equipped and well-prepared, they could launch an uprising and march on Londinium.

At the same time, Wellington will contact other dukes to send troops to intercept members of the Deep Sea Church as much as possible, or at least delay their progress.

To be honest, Song Yufeng didn't have high hopes for this idea, because the guys from the Deep Sea Church were all good at hiding, and only someone like Song Yufeng could sense the presence of the Deep Sea Church members.

Sigh, but as long as the army declares martial law, it will still cause them some trouble.

Having received the assurance, Song Yufeng resumed his journey back to Xiaoqiu County.

On the way back, they passed through several cities, and Song Yufeng saw soldiers patrolling and searching for something. Wellington and the Duke were indeed very fast.

Little Hill County seems to have been largely unaffected. After all, the commander of the Little Hill County army is dead, and a new commander has not yet arrived. Until the new commander arrives, the Little Hill County army can only defend itself at most. It is unlikely that it can launch any proactive attacks. Besides, the headquarters of the Deep Sea Church in Little Hill County is gone, so there is little point in searching it.

As soon as they entered the store, Lilina pounced on them. Song Yufeng hugged her helplessly and said, "Okay, Lilina, don't react so strongly."

"Song Yufeng, I missed you so much and was so worried about you. I'm so glad you're alright."

"I miss you too. How's everything in Little Hill County lately?"

"Everything is fine. There hasn't been any trouble at Deep Pool. Lavshini came to see you a few times, but she wouldn't say what she wanted. However, she hasn't come to see you these past two days. By the way, I've almost mastered the 'Stop the Fight with Martial Arts' sword technique that you taught me. Are there any new moves?" Lilina asked.

"Ah, well... let's talk about it later when we have time." Song Yufeng said, feeling embarrassed. If this continued, she might really have to wait for Grandpa Xiao to teach her himself.

Speaking of which, what exactly does Lavshine want from me? I'll go find her after I've finished looking for Umineko.

"By the way, Lilina, where's Umineko?"

"You mean Master Zhong? What a coincidence, Master Zhong just left five minutes ago."

"Just left? Where did he go? I have something to ask him."

“Ah, Master Zhong went east. Before he left, he said that if you came back and asked him where he went, he didn’t want me to tell you. But I saw that you seemed very anxious, so I thought I should tell you anyway,” Lilina said, bowing her head.

"Don't tell me? What's going on? Is he avoiding me?" Song Yufeng laughed in exasperation. Well, it seems this guy definitely anticipated that he would ask him some questions, so he deliberately avoided him.

Damn it, I have to get some information out of this sea cat today!

After instructing Lilina to watch the shop carefully, Song Yufeng immediately headed east. Since it was already morning, Song Yufeng had no choice but to walk east.

Is there anything to the east? Further east is a rather remote area.

However, after running a distance, Song Yufeng saw something strange.

A sculpture.

But the sculpture depicted nothing other than a map of Victoria, Yan, and Ursus.

Song Yufeng immediately understood that Hai Mao wanted him to invite Yan Wushen and join Victoria, which was shrouded in gloom.

"Don't blame me for avoiding you, Song Yufeng. I know what you want to ask. I've thought about it carefully, and I think I should tell you some more things." Hai Mao was nowhere to be seen, but Hai Mao's voice definitely entered Song Yufeng's mind.

Song Yufeng looked around but found no trace of the sea cat.

"The matter is actually easy to explain. Remember, Theresis has already reached an agreement with the gods."

"I know."

"In fact, the gods not only reached an agreement with Theresis, but also with the Church of the Deep Sea."

"What? Didn't the Supreme God intend to destroy the Deep Sea Church? Why would he make an agreement with the Deep Sea Church?!" Song Yufeng asked in confusion.

"Even gods have disagreements. In short, there were a few gods who felt that Isamara, whom the Deep Sea Church worshipped, was still part of the divine order. So they planned to disobey the Supreme God's command and help the Deep Sea Church collect souls. Do you know why no one except Margaret possessed the power to bestow blessings? It's because these powers were secretly blocked by the gods who were helping the Deep Sea Church. When the people of the Deep Sea Church arrived in Londinium, they released these powers to bless them. Afterward, they would even descend upon Terra and join forces with Theresis to defeat the others."

"Such a thing is true? Does the Supreme God really just sit idly by and do nothing?"

"The Supreme God's idea is also very simple. He wants to use the power of Terra to kill those gods who do not listen to him, rather than doing it himself. Ideally, He would lure you—the god who has been stranded on the land of Terra—to the land and eliminate them. The best outcome would be that you perish together with them. The worst outcome would be that you eliminate those who oppose Him and use this to wash away the curse on your fate. Of course, He might even use this as an excuse to accuse you of killing a god without cause and punish you again."

How do you know so much detail?

“I have my own way. In short, Theresis will also be used as a pawn and discarded after this. Moreover, you are not guaranteed to win. You almost lost your life when you clashed with the demigod before. This time you will face multiple true gods. Although their arrival on Terra will be somewhat restricted, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Your chances of winning are very small.”

"So that's why you want me to join forces with Yanwu?"

"The more strength we have, the greater our chances of winning."

"What happened to the scheme you set up before? What happened to your plan?"

“Since I’ve decided to tell you this, it means I’m confident. This is all thanks to Theresis. He’s very ambitious and intelligent. He knows he’ll be used as a pawn, so he’s unwilling to ally with the gods. Therefore, I’ve reached an agreement with him: once the war begins, he will switch sides to our side and put on a show with the Duke, pretending the battle is fierce. When the gods and the Deep Sea Church lower their guard, he’ll betray them.” Sea Cat paused, then continued, “Moreover, I’ve laid a trap in Londinium. Although your chances of winning aren’t high, if I also intervene, we can still win this war.”
