I'll become a villain in my next life

Chapter 174: Total Beatdown

[Eldion Empire]

After some time have passed, the crusade mainly only consist of the Empire's army and the churches army, have finally finished all their preparation as they intended to start their March towards the Beastman Country, with a thought of aiding their allied country

With this army consisting of both factions, it came in an overall total of 100,000 soldiers, 50,000 available soldiers from the empire, while 50,000 available crusaders from the church

This doesn't even involved the top dogs of the church which is called the holy knights with a member count of six extraordinary individual that the church has nurtured

As the church has the holy knights, the empire has the hero hibiki or for the higher-ups knowledge the celestial Raguel

The knowledge of the sudden possession of the celestail race inside the body of the hero only revolves around the higher-ups, this in turn also answered all Jack's stack up questions regarding his sudden change in attitude and behavior

But in the end he couldn't divulge such important information to Kaido in fear of being found out and panic spreading to the masses that would literally bring the mission to a failure

The joint army of the empire and church however was expected to rendezvous with the other kingdom's army at the Port Empire's Clearwater to be send off across the ocean floor by the joint fleets of the army

With that in mind Jack decided only to tell Kaido when he was back into a corner and has nowhere left to retreat, in other words a situation where he would die

As Duke Agra was introducing Jack to his son Bruno, the man who was entitled the fiance of Rebecca proudly introduced himself to insert dominance between them

"You should be proud! I'm Bruno, the heir of the house Astro my father's house, and if my memory serves me right then you perhaps is the scholar that was recommended to us by Marquez Lucio, Jake Everheart I presume"

"Uh! Yes! Yes! I'm Jake" replied Jack using his alias

"Im so terribly sorry for your loss, but don't worry! In the name of the household astro, I bruno would serve justice to that fellony Kaido and return Marquez Lucio to you together with my rightful fiance" exclaimed Bruno

"Im expecting that... . . But are you sure you can do that? Because... . ." Stated Jake as he glanced at Bruno's scar on his face

"Because what? This scar? Don't worry this only serves as a reminder on how much I'll make that jerk suffer" growled Bruno as his aura turned murderous

Seeing his son's enthusiasm Duke Agra couldn't help but laugh out loud as he shared his son's burning intention

"That's right! We'll make him suffer together with the people that helps him"

Staying a cool mind amidst this insults Jack who was pretending to be Jake Everheart, calmly observed his situation while also joining the laugh

However from the corner of his eyes he suddenly saw the Celestial Raguel standing atop of the Empire's walls that were enlightened for some reason

He's not the only one that noticed the Celestial's weird expression, similarly other people also took notice of that as they begun to probed the reason for his joyish expression

But what replied they received was way beyond what they had expected, leading to a unexpected development

"I can feel it! I can feel it from here!!!" Exclaimed Raguel as he showed a bright expression

"This is what war looks like! I felt two world class magic being executed from that same direction!... . ." He added

After some time of his own mumbling the Celestial Raguel started to laugh hysterically
