Chapter 130 The Butterfly Begins to Flap Its Wings
"They were once refugees caused by the rampage of the dead, and they briefly received help from the church."

On the surface, this is the only connection between these two servants with remaining divine magic fluctuations and the Cult of the Sun God.

"The church said they did not have these two people on their roster of believers."

The Chamber of Commerce immediately blocked the news of the attack on the negotiation venue. Of course, for such a big thing, it is impossible to prevent the news from leaking out, but these actions can still greatly slow down the spread of news.

Before the news reached the ears of the Sun God Cult, the Chamber of Commerce asked the Sun God Cult for information about the two attackers through the Lannia delegation.

The results were not good.

There are only two explanations for the church's response. Either the church planned and executed the attack, or they want to deny the church's involvement in the attack.

The second explanation is that the church began to lose control of its believers and there were already organizations of Sun God believers that were not supervised and controlled by the church.

No matter which explanation it is, the situation is not good. Given Lannia's current situation, the covenant negotiations between the goblins and the kingdom will definitely not continue. Soon, the covenant between the goblins and the kingdom will expire. At that time, the increasingly radical and extreme believers of the Sun God will have a reason to cut off all activities of the goblins within their control.

If the second explanation is the case, the believers the goblins face may be a bit more extreme.

"Prepare to evacuate all the goblins in the kingdom and only leave the most basic departments in the capital to maintain operations."

“We are already planning.”

The ministers in the Goblin Chamber of Commerce have also thought of these possibilities. None of them are stupid, as they have reached this position and developed the Goblin Chamber of Commerce into the prosperous commercial city-state it is today.

They all understood the importance of risk management. After the church's response arrived, it took them only ten minutes to reach a consensus on evacuating from the kingdom. The remaining evacuation details would be completed by the clerks and staff.

"In about a week, various evacuation orders will be issued to relevant personnel of the Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom."

"Only people related to the Chamber of Commerce. What about the other goblins?"

Safrina frowned, noticing the goblin's choice of words.

"The assets of the goblins and ogres who have not joined the Chamber of Commerce are not large, and they will also take up a lot of transportation capacity. Some departments think this is a loss-making business."

Savrina looked at the goblins in front of her. She could probably imagine what would happen to the ordinary goblins left in the kingdom. Plunder and lynching were still relatively good situations. If the situation of the Sun God Cult continued, they would probably be "cleaned up" in an organized manner.

Savrina didn't want to see this situation. She could indeed force the Chamber of Commerce to allocate transportation capacity and resources, and the goblins would execute it, but more or less, they would have their own thoughts about it. Savrina was more inclined to find a reason for the Chamber of Commerce to willingly transfer those non-Chamber of Commerce goblins.

"Human resources are a kind of resource in themselves. Have you forgotten how we started our business in the first place?"

An old goblin noticed Savrina's intention to take all the goblins away.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized that he had experienced the early development of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce, when the goblins' first pot of gold came from selling human resources.

The ministers looked at each other.

"I'll go and calculate it."

A goblin left in a hurry, and soon he came back with some forms.

"If they are willing to become indentured servants, there is money to be made in this business."

The spreadsheet was distributed to the other department heads present. The data and formulas on it were very clear.

"That doesn't even take into account the consumption they will generate and the output their offspring will likely generate."

"However, there are still some problems in the allocation of transport capacity."

"Those ordinary goblins don't have much use for transportation. Transporting them as cargo can save a lot of transportation capacity."

The department heads had already begun arguing, and Savrina knew that it was time for her to step in and make the final decision.

"Bring back those non-Chamber of Commerce goblins who are willing to evacuate." After Savrina made the decision, the focus of the ministers' discussion shifted from whether to do it to how to do it.

"My lord, I have news that Lania was attacked while negotiating with the goblins and is now seriously injured and unconscious."

Morari received the news at a military meeting.

"source?"

"Those low-ranking priests and crusaders of the Sun God Cult who are still besieging the elves' forest are spreading this news."

The soldier who brought the news did not dare to tell the priests what they thought of the matter.

"The guy who colluded with aliens should have died long ago."

Many young nobles in the conference room who were canonized by Lannia could not bear to hear this.

"Who did it?"

"Those priests and skitarians seem to be goblins for sure."

Moralich shook his head.

"This doesn't make sense. How could the goblins do something like this during a negotiation?"

Although the goblins are cunning and treacherous, they still have basic credibility. If you are cheated, it is probably because you did not check the contract carefully to find the traps in it.

But once a contract is reached, the goblins will still execute it. Their Chamber of Commerce has no record of malicious breach of contract.

"Those priests believe that all alien races are evil, and evil alien races will certainly do evil, even if it will harm themselves."

"Nonsense."

Moralich lowered his head and looked at the map on the table again.

"Send a team to the goblin city to check on her condition."

Morari circled a spot on the map where he thought the rebels might be hiding their weapons and equipment.

"Well, gentlemen, let's focus on the task at hand and not spend too much time on things that are beyond our control."

Others at the meeting turned their attention back to the map and began to allocate troops to prepare for searches and strikes on suspicious locations.

But it was obvious that their meeting would not go smoothly. Not long after, a soldier walked in.

"Here comes High Priest Lemming."

"Let him in."

Lei Ming walked in. He had also received the news that Lannia had been attacked, and his information was more detailed. He knew that the divine magic fluctuations of the Sun God Cult had appeared at the scene.

"My intention is simple. The church was not involved in the attack."

He did not know how detailed the news the kingdom had received. In order to avoid misjudgment, he needed to clarify the attitude of the church, at least the official attitude of the church.

Seeing the slightly confused expressions of the people in the conference room, Lemming realized that the news they received did not mention the divine arts of the Sun God Cult. Lemming breathed a sigh of relief. Preconceived impressions are very important. After he made it clear here, the nobles present would not easily believe the rumors that would inevitably appear later, such as "the church attacked the queen and wanted to control the kingdom."

"The Sun God Cult's magic fluctuations were detected at the attack site. We are also investigating, but I swear in the name of the Sun God that the church officials were not involved in this attack."
