Snapping his blade to the side, he removed the excess blood on it before charging toward the bishop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the 3rd Circle priests handling the array chanted louder, tapping their staves on the ground etched with divine runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This array only protected the cathedral, unlike the other one which covered all of Cheshire. So it wasn’t as powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protect His Excellency!\" One of the priests shouted at this moment. \"We must hold on until help arrives from the capital!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Help?’ In the middle, Lucas Springster shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheshire was far away from Ulford, and even Sir Jacob would take half a day to arrive. That’s if he expended all of his holy power to fly in a straight line. Fourth Circlers would probably make it in ten days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Can we last ten days?’ Bishop Lucas braced himself, the question ringing in his mind as he clashed with Marquis Jones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, he already knew the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By midday, the second wave of monsters had gone past Orlando and entered the moonlight forest. Led by Minerva and Ash, with the Hell Knight at the center, they met the dryads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four elf captains at the 4th Circle had already gathered all the monsters of the moonlight forest and left for their village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they settled the matters at Leafsong, they would then start attacking fortresses which mostly had 3rd Circlers in command. Only the territories of high-ranking nobles would be guarded by someone at the 4th Circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be troublesome if the nobles all gathered under one banner and confronted the monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that took time and strategic planning. These nobles had just returned from the capital in a hurry and would now have to face an invasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They may be able to fend off the monster hordes led by the elves, but that was just a distraction. The second wave was the main force designated to invade the Nuving province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without at least a 5th Circler, it was impossible to stop the tens of thousands of monsters that came from Tartus Dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Royal Commander didn’t arrive in time with his army, they would be truly unstoppable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ulford, in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"King Averon, you knew about the dungeon that appeared in Karsuda. Why did you ignore it for so long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the throne room, the high-ranking officials and members of the royal family took seats. The Isenwings were also present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The king sat on his throne like usual but the man asking him a question wasn’t kneeling. Instead, this man was fully armored and equipped with a longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying a weapon was forbidden when entering the royal palace. However, if Jacob Kingsley himself came, who could ask to take away his sword?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This High Paladin wasn’t as cordial as the Archbishop. He was a man of the common people and had no respect for any kind of aristocrat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Jacob, we did not ignore the dungeon.\" Averon leaned forward. \"Instead, we sent a team to raid it. At that time, when we asked the church for help, you refused us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the paladin did not answer. Looking around the room, he instead inquired, \"Where’s Sir Bors?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Commander has gone to protect the borders, but he should be coming back soon.\" The King’s Hand took a small bow and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob frowned. Since fourth circlers couldn’t keep up with him, he wanted to invite Bors on his trip to Karsuda. But the Storm Holder wasn’t even in the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was possibly a Demon Lord in the kingdom and that man was running around the borders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh.\" Jacob looked around and said in a bland tone, \"The matters were different at that time and a significant number of church forces were required to escort Brother Joseph. I hope you understand, Your Majesty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Matters were different, huh...’ Averon felt ridiculed. Still, he could do nothing to the tall man standing on the red carpet below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Jacob, surely you didn’t come to my palace just to tell me that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" The High Paladin rested a palm on the hilt of his sword and continued, \"I am personally going to visit that dungeon and I need a guide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the throne room was filled with chatter. Although most officials knew about the Dungeon of Sins, they had no idea it was that much of a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, the Tartus Dungeon should be the concern, but nobody dared to speak about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sir Bors had once visited that dungeon. After he returned, he forbade anyone from mentioning its name for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A guide, you say?\" The King stood up from his throne with a smile and turned to the court mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call Sir Ivan. It appears His Grace, the High Paladin, requires someone who has once gone there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Averon’s voice was filled with joy and the court mages below immediately knew his intentions. Now that Jacob Kingsley asked, this king had a valid reason to interrupt a court mage’s research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ivan still refused, that would be the same as treason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did he and Sir Jacob plan this from the start?\" The court mages wondered. Just as they were about to go to Ivan’s tower, a voice came from the far right corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, Sir Ivan might stall again. Why not have His Highness, the Third Prince go with Sir Jacob?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Prince Roland took a formal bow, hiding his sinister smile. As long as his step-brother died in that dungeon, it was worth incurring the rage of his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prince Roland...\" Averon looked at a flamboyantly dressed man who stood beside several ministers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlling himself from slapping his son right here, the king rubbed his eyebrows. \"I have revoked Splennar’s title. Your brother is... unfit for this job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But father, he also went to the dungeon-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough!\" Averon was truly mad now. \"This isn’t the time for your games, Roland. Remove yourself from this assembly at once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.\" The second prince straightened himself and turned around, immediately leaving the throne room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officials began whispering but quieted down when Jacob asked Splennar, \"Did you go there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Jacob, he indeed went there but he is lacking in many ways...\" The king hurriedly tried to divert the High Paladin’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jacob kept looking at Splennar who was standing with his mother and sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\" There was something about this paladin’s gaze that made Splennar uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak! Which demon sent you?\" Suddenly, Jacob stretched his hand toward the prince in a clenching motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden chains came out of cracks in space, binding Splennar and bringing him before the paladin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Third Circle Knights hidden behind large pillars jumped on the reception area, unsheathing their swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the court mages took out red talismans and chanted an instant spell, creating a strong barrier around the King and Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the officials scrambled away, two 4th Circle Royal Guardians flashed in the room, their broadswords vibrating with thick mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jacob Kingsley, what are you trying to do?\" Averon nervously asked, grabbing his own weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1207,"2026-06-09T06:56:52.719Z",1,"novelbin.me","44d4622e633b81129f66e0a0c19d94e08fe7183060fd45c570ef0894ca762840","sin-system-demonic-harem-after-reincarnation-chapter-124","sin-system-demonic-harem-after-reincarnation-chapter-242",257,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsin-system-demonic-harem-after-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
