chapter 362 part 2
A brilliant light erupted in 'Rosy' Isandro's eyes.
The six Cardinals, on the other hand, froze, their expressions unreadable.
Tang Zheng stared at them, sneering inwardly.
*You're always going on and on about doing things for humanity, so how about teaching the 'Grand Ritual' technique to the Holy Kingdom?*
The "Grand Ritual" was a method that could only be used with the power of an entire nation, and among the human countries, only the Slane Theocracy possessed this method.
If Fluder had possessed the "Grand Ritual" back then, the "Longevity Magic Ritual" he unleashed would have been completely different.
A brief silence fell.
Tang Zheng knew that this point alone was not enough to bring the Holy Kingdom to an equal footing with the Slane Theocracy.
Without using his own power...
If he wanted to leave the Slane Theocracy with ease, and even invisibly influence both nations afterward without anyone noticing a thing...
Then he needed to pull the Holy Kingdom up to the same level as the Slane Theocracy in this game!
When the "benefits" dangled were great enough...
Even the lofty Six Cardinals, and the Slane Theocracy itself, would compromise.
"Vice-Captain Isandro."
Tang Zheng suddenly turned his head and spoke.
"Leader Tang... Lord Tang, please speak." 'Rosy' Isandro had unknowingly changed his form of address, a new note of respect in his voice.
He suddenly realized that the words Lord Tang had spoken the night before were not empty boasts. The man was actually thinking on behalf of the Holy Kingdom.
This Lord Tang...
A sense of awe arose in the depths of 'Rosy' Isandro's gaze. For a moment, he did not know how to describe him.
"Your country's National Treasure-level magic item, the 'Crown of the Holy King'—how long is the interval between each activation before it can be used again?" Tang Zheng asked.
This level of information was a state secret. At any other time, even when faced with the threat of death, 'Rosy' Isandro was confident he would defend his country's secrets with his life.
Yet, in this instant!
Everyone present seemed to have thought of something.
"Half a month!"
"It can be used once approximately every half a month!" 'Rosy' Isandro's fists clenched subconsciously, his voice trembling with irrepressible excitement.
The Cardinals, who had been relatively calm just a moment ago, now had their expressions change completely. They, too, looked at each other with excitement, seeming to want to discuss something.
"Oh, half a month, is it?"
Tang Zheng nodded, a look of recollection on his face. "In the incident at the Hills, the magic item 'Crown of the Holy King' left quite an impression."
"If I remember correctly, it can summon 128 Guardian Angels, 64 Flame Archangels, and 32 Tranquility Archon Angels at once, for a total of 224."
Speaking to this point, Tang Zheng paused, sweeping his gaze over the others present. "If these summoned angels were to use my 'Infusion Potion'..."
"You could create 448 angels every month. In one year, that's..."
He had not even finished.
"5,376 angels!"
"In one year, we can create 3,072 Guardian Angels, 1,536 Flame Archangels, and 768 Tranquility Archon Angels!"
The Light Cardinal, Ion's shriveled cheeks flushed with excitement. He clenched his fists tightly, rapidly spitting out a series of numbers.
A wave of commotion spread across the conference table.
The Cardinals could no longer be bothered that someone from the Holy Kingdom was right in front of them. They quickly began to converse in low voices, and their elation and excitement were beyond words.
'Rosy' Isandro, who had maintained an extremely low presence since entering the conference hall, with his eyelids drooping, not even wanting to speak, now straightened his spine.
Tang Zheng could even see the veins unconsciously popping out on his arm.
It was as if flames were burning in 'Rosy' Isandro's eyes, which even faintly revealed a bloodthirsty light and madness.
The first impression he gave was that he was ready to risk his life at any moment!
'Rosy' Isandro stared at the six Cardinals opposite him, a trace of killing intent unconsciously showing in his eyes.
He was indeed planning to risk his life!
5,376 angels that could exist for a long time—this was a force powerful enough to completely destroy a country!
Moreover, this was only the beginning!
To be able to create so many angels every year, and if they could obtain the "Grand Ritual" technique possessed by the Slane Theocracy...
With Lord Kelart, their Holy Kingdom could also create powerful angels like the Dominion Authority!
"Only a little over 5,000 angels?"
A disdainful voice entered everyone's ears.
The thoughts in their minds came to a halt.
They all stared wide-eyed at Tang Zheng, as if to say—"Do you have any idea what this power represents"?!
One had to know...
Even in the Baharuth Empire, which had the strongest army, the average level of the soldiers in its elite legion was only around Level 7 to 10.
The cost of summoning a single angel was incomparable to the time and resources needed to train an elite soldier.
Tang Zheng was indeed a bit disdainful. These low-tier angels would be completely useless against the Bone King in the future. But for the humans of this world, it was indeed a powerful military force appearing out of thin air!
"Tang, this matter..."
The Water Cardinal Sinedine spoke softly, his tone far more gentle than before.
The current situation had exceeded their original expectations. The Holy Kingdom, which they had not taken seriously, unexpectedly possessed such great potential.
If this were happening in any other country, the first thought would be to seize the Holy Kingdom's National Treasure. But this was the "Human Supremacist" Slane Theocracy.
"Things are not as simple as you all imagine."
Tang Zheng nonchalantly interrupted again.
Only this time, neither the Six Cardinals nor 'Rosy' Isandro showed any dissatisfaction. Instead, they all looked at Tang Zheng quietly, waiting for what he would say next.
"The angels summoned by the magic item 'Crown of the Holy King' are different from ordinary angels."
"To put it simply, a spellcaster can freely control normally summoned angels, or those summoned with a magic scroll."
"But the angels summoned by this item are neutral monsters. If they are to exist for a long time, you will all need to consider the problem of how to control them."
Tang Zheng's tone was calm, serving as a reminder to the fired-up crowd.
"Also, have you all considered the hosts for the infusion? We're talking about thousands of angels!"
The Six Cardinals paused for a moment, their expressions varied. Some looked thoughtful, while others appeared completely unconcerned.
"I've said it before, you absolutely cannot use any infants!" Tang Zheng's smile vanished as he reminded them again, this time with what seemed like a warning.
This time, the six Cardinals no longer had their previous nonchalance.
*Click.*
Tang Zheng took out an enlarged potion bottle from the magic belt at his waist and slapped it on the conference table.
Everyone's gaze fell on the translucent potion bottle. Inside were countless translucent, light-cyan eggs, each the size of a fingernail.
"This was an unexpected find of mine in the Hills. They are the eggs of the demi-human Frogmen," Tang Zheng explained, meeting their confused gazes.
