Priest Martina's counterattack came swiftly. On the second day after entering Lake City, she immediately sent out carrier pigeons to the temples in various places.
First, she refuted Herodotus's accusations against her one by one, then accused Herodotus of being the real murderer behind the assassination of High Priest Reves.
Not only that, but Priest Martina also stated that Herodotus had used despicable means to control the other High Priests. In other words, nearly the entire upper echelon of the Church had fallen under his control.
The Silver Moon Church had reached the most dangerous point in a millennium, so Priest Martina issued a call to action to all believers around the world, asking them to follow her in wresting back control of the Church from Herodotus!
