Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1126: Invasion



"Are you sure that you wouldn't rather stay here?" Saintess Irene asked in a voice that almost seemed to be pleading.

After the matter of the prophecy, there were many that had wanted to keep me here in the Holy Empire.

Only they stopped themselves because of what had happened.

This was someone that could even speak on casual terms with Solista, one of the main gods.

If they were to offend him, there was no telling what would happen.

Even if they were men of the cloth, those that had worshiped the gods for as long as they could remember, they just couldn't compare to those that had the favour of the gods.

The Mark of God was the mark of the one that was considered the true son of god.

The true holy son as the saintess put it.

However, I knew that if I were to stay here, all that would happen is that I would get caught up in a big mess.

Now that the Holy Empire knew how important I was, there was no doubt that there would be all kinds of plots against me. It wasn't that they would try to hurt me, it was that they would try all that they could to bring me to their side.

This was the last thing that I wanted to get caught up in, so I should leave while I could.

With a nod, I said, "I still have other things to take care of. If anything happens, please contact me right away and we'll work together to solve it."

Since I was the one that had caused Solista to give a prophecy like this, the ones from the Holy Empire naturally took this very seriously. They had promised that they would work with me to prevent whatever disaster the prophecy foretold.

I was assured since it was related to a prophecy from god.

If there was anything that could be trusted in the Holy Empire, a country that was run by large religions, it was the word of god.

They wouldn't go against the word of god no matter what happened.

Which meant that I had effectively gotten the support of one of the largest empires in this world.

It wasn't just support in terms of words, it was the actual support of this Holy Empire since I was their holy son now.

That was worth its weight in gold.

Though they looked like they wanted to keep me here, they still allowed me to leave on the airship that was prepared.

The agreement that we had come to was that the Holy Empire would do their own investigation into the 'invaders' mentioned by the prophecy and would send information my way.

Though I didn't really have much expectations in the first place.

The Holy Empire had just too many different religions in the first place and there were too many voices. When there were all these voices speaking at the same time, it was hard for them to come to an agreement.

It was hard for them to get anything done when everyone had their own agenda.

So for now, just having them off my back was good enough.

With the airship, it didn't take long for us to arrive back in the territory of the Kite Kingdom.

Though the moment that the airship appeared, there were several wyverns that came up to guide us.

With the way that they appeared, it was as if they were on alert.

It was as if they were scared to see this airship appear like this.

That was strange since they should have already known that an airship would bring me back. They should be aware that the arrival of this airship meant that I was back, but it didn't seem like this...

"Your majesty, you're finally back!" The wyvern riders said as soon as they saw me on the deck of the airship.

"What's wrong?" I asked the one that landed on the deck.

"It's an invasion." He said in a heavy voice.

"What?" A look of shock appeared on my face when I heard this.

Invasion?

Right after the prophecy that there would be an invasion, I received news that there was actually an invasion...

But was it the invasion that Solista had mentioned?

The wyvern rider said in a heavy voice, "It's the demons. They suddenly attacked several kingdoms near the border. Everyone has been on guard against any possible invasions in our territory."

"Demons?" I asked in a slightly confused voice.

I had already expected this to a certain extent since the demons had already been plotting against the humans.

It was just that I didn't expect them to suddenly launch an invasion like this.

At the same time, I couldn't help wondering why the Holy Empire didn't tell me anything about this.

I turned to look at the captain of this airship and there was an awkward look that appeared on his face before he said, "We just received the report from the empire. It was a recent attack by the demons, but it doesn't seem serious."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"What do you mean by that?" I asked with narrowed brows.

"It's just a few small countries that have been invaded by the demons, it's not as if the foundation of the human race has been damaged. It seems like it's just a test of the defenses of the human race, which is why no one is worried about this. This kind of thing has happened quite a few times already."

The way that the captain said this was almost as if this was a very normal thing.

But I couldn't help knitting my brows.

That was because I didn't remember any of this happening before...

It really seemed like things were deviating from the story in the game.

It really seemed like there was something happening under the surface with the demon race...

Was it because of me or was it because of something else that was changing the plot of this world?
