GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Another captain spoke up in support. “Yes, justice must be done at all cost.”

Commander Isaac decided to raise his voice in anger since the glare on his face couldn’t be seen. He said in anger to the captain, “I know that. I know that she must be punished, and she will be punished. But we can’t go about it in the way we are currently doing.”

“She is a fate weaver, and she is always aware of the danger. She can prepare traps for us to fall in if we keep pursuing her like this. The best way to avoid this is to send someone who can evade her senses or someone with overwhelming power that she can’t prepare against.”

“I will report to the cardinals and advise them to send someone that can evade her senses. If they don’t, I will go after her myself.”

The captain that spoke felt ashamed for his incompetence and for questioning the decision of the commander. The other captains also felt bad, so they wanted to speak up to tell their commander not to risk his life.

But Commander Isaac already anticipated what they would do and didn’t want them to do it at all. So he raised his hand to stop them just as they opened their mouths to beg him not to risk his life.

Then he said, “I have made up my mind. Now, give me the next report.”

He didn’t actually think he was risking his life. If the best that the fate weaver could do after preparing for so long was to injure two rank 4 captains and kill one rank 4 captain, then she will be no match for him.

He is a rank 6 godclad with two pathways of justice and knighthood. He is following in the footsteps of the god of justice, and unlike the god of justice, he has the support of a very powerful army.

With a powerful army, he can make full use of the divine abilities of a knight. His power can even reach the level of legends, so he doesn’t think anyone that is not a legend can defeat him, much less kill him.

He is not the only one who thought so. The cardinals of the Church of Justice, who are legends themselves, thought so too. It was why they sent him to take charge of this matter.

Not only does he have impressive strength, but he also has impeccable character. His impeccable character is why he has not lashed out at the captains.

However, the delicate control he kept of his emotions became more difficult to maintain the more he listened to their reports.

The second captain said, “I have the war reports here. I won’t waste time, so I will summarize it. We are not doing well at all.”

“It is clear that the nobles have been preparing to fight us for a long time. We have never been able to gain any advantage over them. It has always been a devastating defeat for us on the battlefield.”

Commander Isaac ground his teeth in frustration, but he didn’t stop the captain from speaking. He didn’t show any abnormal reaction either, so the captain continued speaking without realizing how attractive his face had become or a punch.

“The main reason for our defeat is that there have been a series of disasters plaguing the nation. Most of our troops and manpower have had to be diverted to help the common people survive. This has weakened us in the battlefield.”

Commander Isaac couldn’t keep quiet anymore. He said, “I take it that the nobles are responsible for these natural disasters.”

The captain nodded and said, “That is the common suspicion. But there is also the possibility that a third party or a rouge force is intervening because the nobles themselves are being affected by the disasters.”

“The nobles only fare better than us because they preserve their power and don’t spread it out or expend their resources to help the common people. We, on the other hand, can’t let so many people die, so we intervene, which leaves us vulnerable to the attacks of the nobles.”

Commander Isaac gritted his teeth and said, “So you’re saying that even though we are helping their people, they still take this opportunity to attack us.”

The captain nodded in agreement. “Yes.”

The commander said through his gritted teeth, “Good. Very good. These nobles don’t know that they are walking deeper and farther along the road to death. The more they walk deeper on this road, the more price they will pay when the god of justice takes action against them.”

He can’t say that the decision of the army to prioritize rescue work is a bad decision because it has always been the doctrine of the Church of Justice to prioritize saving people. Reader support at M*VLEM*PYR made this translation possible.

It has always been the priority to save people because it is the foundation of the church. Not only does saving people help the god of justice gain faith, it also makes the church of justice inexhaustible.

The people that are saved help the church of justice and strengthen the church, which makes the church become bigger and stronger.

He is a good example of that. He was saved by a judge when he was an orphan. Now he is one of the strongest epic beings in service of the church.

It is true that prioritizing rescuing people instead of fighting the nobles will lead to a lot of loss for the army of the Church of Justice. But all of these losses will be replenished easily, and the church will grow stronger for it.

He had supreme confidence in the church and the god of justice, so much that he didn’t think that they could lose. In fact, what he is considering is how badly the nobles will lose by the time the war is over.

He said to the captains, “Don’t worry about the war. We can’t join them, and we have our own work to do here.”
