Lin Yan's army pushed outwards with unstoppable force. She did not participate in the battles, but stayed with Maurice behind the troops, serving as their backbone.
She was also worried about what hidden cards some of these nobles might possess, potentially harming her subordinates. Of course, before ordering any action, she had investigated the situations of those nobles.
For some nobles with good reputations, Lin Yan had them bypass certain areas. If these nobles attacked her forces, Lin Yan did not show them mercy.
As the army advanced, the management of the rear also had to keep pace. Letters were sent back to the rear, and the situation there quickly stabilized.
The newcomers who had just entered the management level had been tested and were being sent to newly occupied territories one by one.
This territory was in dire need of development. The Elf King also dispatched more elves to assist Lin Yan. It was the arrival of these elves that made many people understand how strong the relationship between Viscountess Rose and the elven race was.
The Holy Son Eliyat could no longer smile. The Emperor of the Empire sent letter after letter, claiming that Angelina was the responsibility of the Holy See.
The high echelons of the Holy See could no longer tolerate such humiliation. They desperately wanted to make Angelina pay, but could only suppress their resentment.
His Holiness the Pope was preparing to send troops, and he chose the Holy Son as the leader.
"Why me?" Eliyat gazed at His Holiness the Pope, the gentle smile that always adorned his face now gone.
"You should know the reason, Eliyat," the Pope of Light looked at him with a meaningful gaze.
"Yes, I should know the reason." Eliyat smiled, realizing he had become a pawn of the Holy See, just like Angelina had been initially.
"However, Eliyat, if you can resolve this matter, your status in the Holy See will become even more stable. This is an opportunity for you," the Pope said solemnly.
"I understand. After all, the matter with Angelina was caused by me, so it must be resolved by me. I just wonder, my dear father, what kind of help will you provide me?"
Holy Son Eliyat looked at his father, understanding that the more formidable Angelina became, the more they would resent him, as they believed it was all his fault.
But was it truly all his fault? How many people had Angelina obstructed, and how many had she prevented from profiting? So when he made a move against Angelina, hadn't they all implicitly agreed?
Now that Angelina had developed her own influence, she was shifting all the blame onto him.
"I will equip you with sufficient personnel. You absolutely cannot fail this time!" The Pope did not wish to let others handle this, but this time, none of them were willing to confront a dragon.
Currently, Angelina was only targeting the Empire, not the Holy See, and was not openly opposing the Holy See. Therefore, they maintained their dignity and were unwilling to act.
They didn't even consider the current situation. He did not believe that Angelina would truly not confront the Holy See.
"I know. But father, you should also be prepared. I heard there's a dragon that always accompanies her. If we truly kill her, we will completely offend that dragon. Are you prepared to face the dragon race?"
Eliyat knew more about Angelina's affairs than anyone else in the Holy See. He had never for a single moment let down his guard against her.
