Living Again as a Man of Faith in Another World from Zero - Volume 1

[ Arc 3 - 7 ] Viu's plan

Roswaal Manor was completely barricaded by a fortress created by Wlan. The inhabitants of Arlam Village were deported to Feirim Village, at least some of the inhabitants. As for the other part, they ended up in the Irufurito district. Otto was aboard the dragon carriage in which Emilia, Puck, Rem, and Ram were heading for Viu's Manor. Viu meanwhile stayed at the Mathers estate and told them.

- Once there, contact Alfred my chief servant so that they can warn the kingdom of the Witch Cult's attack and that they are linked to the Hakugei. And that Three Sins Archbishops are in the vicinity.

Emilia and the others listened carefully to Viu's instructions.

- Understood, Emilia replied, her voice firm. We will contact your chief servant, Alfred, as soon as we reach your manor. We'll inform the kingdom of the Witch Cult's attack, their association with the Hakugei, and the presence of Three Sins Archbishops in the vicinity.

He then said to Otto:

- Take them to safety !

Otto, listening to Viu's instructions, nodded with determination.

- Got it, Viu. You can count on me to get them to your manor safely.

Meanwhile, Meili and her Mabeast companions had already engaged some members of the Witch Cult, silently dispatching them.

He then wrote: "Let there come out of the shadows a white army of light that can kill the members of the Witch cult without hope of return. "

So the men in white appeared, armed, before attacking him. Viu stepped off the path, intent on confronting Petelgeuse. He leaves Meili and his army, including the Mabeasts, to face the Witch Cult's Ten Fingers. Viu knows that he must take on the leader of the Witch Cult himself, and his determination drives him forward.

Emilia and her companions, Otto, Rem, and Ram, successfully reached Alfred and managed to deliver Viu's message to Lugnica. The wise men promptly disseminated the information, summoning the five candidates and their knight bodyguards. Emilia had to face the reality that she currently had no knight herself, a fact that was not lost on her.

With the message delivered and the kingdom informed of the impending threat, the wise men and the candidates began their preparations for the confrontation with the Witch Cult. Emilia, Rem, and Ram, alongside Otto, could only hope that their efforts would be enough to prevent the catastrophic events that Viu had forewarned.

To start, the council will make sure that the 5 candidates fight the Witch cult and when I say 5 candidates I mainly mean their factions. And with Roswaal who is apparently untraceable, the knights of the kingdom will be there. But while waiting for them to arrive, Meili and I with the Mabeasts on one side and my army on the other, we will kill the ten fingers in 15 minutes flat.

However, the 5 candidates will not agree. If Felt and Emilia are of the opinion that we take care of Petergeuse and the Sins Archbishops first, Crusch and Anastasia will want to kill Hakugei, one of the 3 great Mabeasts. And you have Priscilla who will want to do as she pleases and finds this meeting ridiculous before leaving.

Problem, the Crusch camp only has the Anastasia camp as allies, they will have zero chance knowing that the one who has control of Hakugei is the Sin Archbishop of Glutonny as the Gourmet: Lye Batenkaitos, accompanied by the most powerful of the Sin Archbishops and the one I want to avoid first namely Sin Archbishop of Greed: Regulus Corneas.

And the Emilia camp as well as the Felt camp should absolutely not join me, because if Emilia is indeed a spirit art user, she is the number 1 target of the Sin Archbishop of Sloth: Petergeuse. And the Felt camp there is only Reinhard who can compete and let's say that knowing Reinhard, he will want to take care of Regulus too and let's say that Reinhard will lose because of his code of honor.

..... And regarding Priscilla and Al, I can easily guess that they are the ones who will join me but I fear the atmosphere of the group. Al and Priscilla must have come to the same conclusion as me.

I need to kill Petergeuse immediately so everyone can focus on the Hakugei. No, me, Meili, Mabeasts and my army have to do this.

Viu's assessment of the situation revealed a complex political landscape among the factions. The candidates' differing priorities and alliances further complicated matters.

He realized the need to act swiftly to prevent the Witch Cult's plans and protect the kingdom from Hakugei. However, his determination to confront Petelgeuse alone could lead to dangerous consequences if not handled carefully.

He now used the word "Telepathy" to speak to Meili.

- My daughter, how many fingers have you killed?

Meili, hearing Viu's voice in her mind through the telepathic connection, responded in a moment.

- Father, I've taken out four fingers so far.

- My army has eliminated 6 of them. Good work, my daughter. Once the minions are destroyed, go join the others. I'll take care of Petelgeuse.

Meili, hearing her father's instructions, nodded silently in acknowledgment. She had been doing her part in eliminating the Witch Cult's fingers, while Viu and his army had taken out six of them.

- Understood, Father, she responded through telepathy. Once the minions are dealt with, I'll join the others. You focus on Petelgeuse.
