The Brabant Kingdom, being closer to the north, committed slightly larger numbers: 3,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry, and 100 reptar riders. These troops would all be sent to the Kingdom of Elonia.
Among those gathered, Sigmund, representing the most powerful Celeste Empire, observed with a sardonic smile. As all eyes turned toward him, the young emperor brought his hand down loudly on the central round table.
"Our Celeste Empire," he began, "plans to establish a new Papal Office. The god we will serve is… the Sun."
It was a clear provocation. The Sun and Radiance were essentially synonymous!
By invoking a different name for the same deity, the flow of power and faith toward Radiance would weaken. The Pope exploded with fury.
"What madness is this? The Holy See of Radiance already exists! How dare you?!"
"The god you serve is Radiance. The god we serve is the Sun. Where is the problem?" Sigmund replied smoothly.
