He couldn't accept that the dignified Sword Saintess was raising a goblin as her child.
It wasn't just him; the Church, the nobles, the entire kingdom couldn't accept it.
However, this ti Alice Nia didn't heed the king's orders and completely ignored Charles II.
This attitude left Charles II both angry and at a loss. "Alice, my child, I watched you grow up. I personally bestowed the holy sword upon you, and I am still the king of this country. Are you not even going to listen to ?"
"Your Majesty, Alice naturally wouldn't dare defy your orders, but this is the will of the Deity."
Alice gently stroked the goblin cub in her arms, which was sleeping soundly after being well-fed.
In a culture dominated by dieval backgrounds,
Power was absolute.
Royal authority was sothing no one dared to challenge.
But there was one power that was even more deeply rooted in people's hearts than royal authority, and that was divine power.
The supre divine power.
So even as King Lionheart, he had to show great respect to the Church.
Hearing this, Charles II was taken aback and looked in surprise at the Holy Mother standing by the door.
He gestured to ask what she ant.
The Holy Mother squinted her eyes and shook her head helplessly.
Indicating that she also didn't know what the Deity's will was.
Charles II quickly asked, "Alice, what is the Deity's will?"
After a long silence,
Alice Nia finally said, "It is to accept his punishnt so that I can regain the power of the Deity."
"What, what are you saying? You've worked tirelessly for the people of the kingdom, fighting bloody battles. The Deity wouldn't punish you."
Charles II said in astonishnt.
Alice Nia seed to be caught in so painful mory, "I... I did sothing that angered the Deity. My holy power has been stripped away, and only by accepting the punishnt will the Deity forgive ."
The punishnt she spoke of
was this goblin cub.
That's why she didn't reject it but accepted it gladly.
Hearing this, Charles II felt bewildered and curiously asked, "What exactly did you do? Tell ."
"I killed many soldiers... and failed to avenge them, so the Deity stripped of my power and punished ."

Alice Nia said with a face full of pain and seriousness.
Gods are inherently abstract, and how to interpret them varies from person to person.
It was perfectly normal for the Sword Saintess to choose to believe this was the Deity's punishnt.
At that mont, Charles II wished he could say that gods didn't exist at all.
He quickly looked at the Holy Mother again and gave her a look.
The Holy Mother was at a loss, thought for a mont, and said softly, "Alice, this is not the Deity's punishnt, it's just a failure. Pull yourself together."
"That's right, pull yourself together! I'll have Duke Klein lead troops to exterminate the goblins and avenge you..."
Charles II also chid in.
Recently, the goblin incident had been escalating, and he had no choice but to personally order troops to quell it.
Otherwise, the internal chaos would be overshadowed by external public opinion, making it impossible for the Lionheart Empire to hold its head high.
Who would have thought that a group of goblins could cause such a commotion?
At this mont, Alice Nia said again, "You don't understand, none of you understand. I'm no longer the Sword Saintess; I'm just a miserable woman who gave birth to a goblin, Alice Nia. Get out, all of you!"
The reason she firmly believed it was the Deity's punishnt
was all because of Lin Tian's Decaying Blood, which suppressed the holy power.
In just ten days or half a month, it would recover on its own.
Seeing her so agitated, Charles II and the others left the church first.
"Your Majesty, Alice is still quite normal now. I think we shouldn't force her. Once she believes the punishnt is over, she'll pull herself together."
The Holy Mother thought for a mont and said softly.
Charles II sighed, "In my life, this is the first ti I've yelled at her like that, and it was useless. What else can I do? I'll have to trouble you to take care of that girl for a while. You know my situation."
Because of a goblin incident, thousands of people had co to the palace for help.
In tis of peace, many villagers were constantly on edge.
He hoped to resolve it soon.
Then, Charles II returned to the Holy Temple in the palace, sitting high on the throne with the majestic dignity of a lion.
He sent soone to summon Duke Klein.
Before long, the sound of knights' armor clashing echoed outside the hall.
A red-haired man in dazzling silver armor slowly walked in, looking only in his twenties.
His handso features showed a hint of charm despite his masculine appearance.
Both beautiful and handso.
At such a young age, he had beco a duke, not through connections but through strength.
Among the young generation of the royal family, his strength was second only to Alice Nia.
Moreover, he was Austin's grandson.
Charles II looked at him with satisfaction and asked, "Klein, do you know why I called you here?"
"Your Majesty, I will quell the goblin chaos, avenge Alice, my grandfather, and those fallen citizens of the kingdom."
Klein knelt on one knee, speaking with determination.
His face showed a hint of gritted hatred.
Because he had grown up under Alice's influence, nurtured by her radiant and noble presence.
To him, Alice was like a life ntor, a goal to pursue.
But now, the object of his admiration had been defiled by goblins, and his grandfather had died. How could he not be angry?
Charles II continued, "Good, then let ask you, are you afraid of the Great Tomb?"
According to intelligence, it was known that Lin Tian and his companions had already entered the Great Tomb.
"Even if I face those within the Great Tomb, I will not be afraid!"
Klein said firmly, his voice resolute.
Charles II couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, "Good! I'll give you ten thousand elite soldiers, and twelve Holy Guards will accompany you! Even if you have to storm the Great Tomb, you must crush that goblin tribe!"
Hearing this, Klein was a bit surprised.
To be given ten thousand elite soldiers! Even the Church's people were to accompany him.
He quickly regained his composure, "I will not fail my mission!"
...
Skycraze Tribe.
Lin Tian had already arranged all the affairs, big and small.
Moreover, the first month's breeding had reached the ti for delivery.
Faced with so many people giving birth for the first ti, Lin Tian had no choice but to get involved, "Leah, bring all the elves over to help with the deliveries."
The tribe was bustling with activity.
The cries of won echoed throughout the valley, attracting the covetous eyes of many magical creatures.
On one hand, they had to help with the deliveries, and on the other, they had to guard both sides of the valley to prevent magical creatures from intruding.
At this mont, Brutal ran over anxiously, "Boss, we can't hold them off in front, maybe you should take a look!"
Lin Tian frowned, even he seed a bit scared.
He quickly rode a dragon to check it out.
What he saw left him stunned!
Outside the walls built at the mouth of the valley, there was a dense, dark mass!
A quick scan by the system revealed [Bloodthirsty Ghost], [Corpse Tiger], [Black-scaled Horned Python], [Ghost-eyed Blood Spider]...
Several sixth-tier magical creatures had gathered!
There were dozens or even hundreds of fifth-tier ones!
The situation at the rear wasn't much better; Goblin Fury and the others couldn't hold them off.
Fortunately, the batch of muskets Lin Tian had made could hold them back; otherwise, they would have been overrun.
"Damn it, I've scouted the area for over ten kiloters, where did so many magical creatures co from? Damn it!"
Lin Tian had calculated everything but hadn't anticipated this.
He had been cautious for so long, only to be caught off guard here.
He had been too careless.
He thought that under the protection of the Great Tomb, he could do as he pleased.
If it weren't for being too busy recently, personally overseeing the construction of the valley walls, setting up grain storage, refuge chambers, and defense projects, among other things.
So many tedious and complex tasks.
Otherwise, he would have used Life Simulation directly.
With things as they were, Lin Tian had no choice but to say, "All goblins, leave via the cliffs. Leave those breeding tools behind; we'll catch more later!"
They were just consumables.
If they died, they died; at worst, he would spend ten days or half a month capturing more from outside.
But at that mont, Lin Tian suddenly looked up and noticed a dark birdman in front of him!
Its eyes glowed blood-red in the dim environnt.
Staring intently at him.
The wings on its back were full and beautiful.
Overall, it looked about the size of a human, with a bird's head and a human's body, covered in pitch-black feathers that were hard to see without a close look.
Its feet were equipped with sharp claws.
Easily capable of crushing a human skull.

Seeing its attribute panel clearly, Lin Tian suddenly understood that this guy was the magical creature lord of this area!
He rembered Brutal telling him about this.
The Man-eating Eagle looked at Lin Tian curiously, incredulous, "A little goblin... can actually ride a dragon?"
Those eyes, staring at him, made his back tingle with goosebumps!
The Man-eating Eagle asked again, puzzled, "Are you the boss of this tribe?"
"Yes, Lord."
Lin Tian quickly replied, "Lord, could you help disperse these gathered magical creatures?"
There was still a chance to save the situation; as long as this lord gave the order, all the magical creatures could be driven away.
However, the Man-eating Eagle continued to tilt its head, scrutinizing him, and coldly asked, "Why should I help you?"
"I can offer you ten humans."
Lin Tian gritted his teeth; after all, it was just ten, exchanging ten for over a thousand was worth it.
The Man-eating Eagle squinted its eyes, pondered for a mont, then flew high into the sky.
It took a deep breath!
A sharp screech erupted from its beak!
Hearing this soul-shaking eagle cry, the gathered magical creatures scattered like they had seen a ghost, fleeing in panic!
Like a flock of chicks, frightened and hiding.
Lin Tian covered his ears; it was unbearably loud, but seeing the massive group of magical creatures disperse, he finally felt relieved.
"The scent of humans will attract all the magical creatures within a hundred miles. Is this your first ti entering the Great Tomb?"
The Man-eating Eagle flew back and couldn't help but ask.
Lin Tian finally understood why humans were so averse to and afraid of the Great Tomb.
It turned out to be because of this.
Humans in labor would sweat profusely, emitting a strong scent that goblin scent couldn't cover.
Normally, it was fine.
Lin Tian awkwardly replied, "Got it, thank you, Lord. Let's go; I'll fulfill my promise to you."
Hearing this, the Man-eating Eagle's mouth curled into a slight smile.
It followed him into the valley.
Brutal was imnsely relieved, and upon seeing the Man-eating Eagle, he quickly knelt, "Lord!"
However, the Man-eating Eagle paid him no mind, being very interested in those ten humans.
But when it saw the thousand people, it was completely dumbfounded!
"You! Why do you have so many humans here? Are they all breeding tools for you goblins???"
