The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 330 - 225: Inauguration! Bishop of Chaos!_3
Not just the Staircase Sect, but the witches of the Oceanic Sect and the Star Sect also gazed at them with hopeful eyes.
"As per the arrangements left by Bishop Rada, for each saint attacked, a reward of fifty devotion points will be awarded."
An Su cleared his throat, "Let Yue’er Acting Bishop and Yang Zi Acting Bishop lead, splitting into two squads, to fully strike at all the imperial capital’s exam-preparing saints, leading them all to fall."
Arthur and Lister flashed confident smiles, only men truly understand men, and now it was their time to shine.
And with devotion points from the Esoteric Sect to be claimed, they were naturally overjoyed.
"Next is the written test in three days." An Su continued, "With the operation of our undercover agents within the Church, you all have acquired the qualifications for the exam, and you must pass the upcoming written test to enter the formal main examination." Stay connected with novelbuddy
"Bishop Rada has also decreed that the higher your scores and ranking in this written test, the more Esoteric devotion points you will receive." An Su smiled at them.
"Of course, those who fail the written test, trash as they are, will also receive punishment from the Esoteric!"
All the witches became excited, as each of them was a genius among geniuses, and the exam would hardly be difficult.

Moreover, due to well-known reasons, the written test before the official main exam was merely a formality, unbelievably simple.
They were all top students; studying for three days would suffice to crush those foolish saints in the written test.
As for the punishment mentioned by An Su, they didn’t take it seriously at all; such an easy exam would surely be passed by everyone.
Seeing the confident smiles of the Esoteric geniuses, An Su showed a satisfied expression.
Having handled the two urgent matters, An Su suddenly heard a calm voice behind him,
"There is one more matter that requires your personal attention."
"Since you three have already replaced the heirs of the Moon, Sun, and Chenxing families... having achieved such a great feat."
A Priest of Life grimly reminded, "According to instructions left by the bishops of Rada, you three should resolve the issue with the three great families on the border..."
"Make the Sun, Moon, and Star families withdraw from the border and hand it over to the Esoteric Sect of Life to take control, opening the checkpoints." he said, "Let the army of the Church Nation’s Esoteric Sect enter the empire."
At these words, a fanatic and obsessed expression flashed in the eyes of the Priest of Life,
He was already dreaming of the day when the border checkpoints would open wide, and the followers of Life would flood into the borderlands, which was also the objective of the Oceanic Sect for joining this operation.
The Oceanic Sect was once one of the most powerful sects of the Life Ecclesia and the true ruler of the borders.
Even now, scattered followers of Life were distributed across the borderlands’ wilderness, each self-reliant and independent, and An Su and Luojia had been kidnapped by them at the beginning.
The sect was driven out of the borderlands by the three families decades ago and pushed into the ocean. In the last ten years, they suffered from overfishing by the Chenxing family, resulting in the weakening of the sect’s power
They were constantly longing to climb ashore, return to their ancestral lands at the border, where all the villages, cities, and all the residents or citizens inside would be their livestock for sacrifice and plunder at will by the followers of Life.
"...You’re absolutely right."
An Su turned around, looking at the Priest of Life, his eyes slightly narrowed, already discerning his ideas.
It appeared that the fall of the Imperial Capital in the original work wasn’t just due to the Demigod’s intervention; the main cause was the overwhelming internal and external troubles.
With the Grand Duke of the Sun, known as the ’God of War,’ Annand and his army guarding the border, and Marquis of the Moon, Marquis Norman providing political resources and intelligence, followed by the possibility to seek allied lords’ support in times of crisis, along with Count Karlo from the wealthiest Chenxing family providing logistics for the frontline.
The remote border thus became the most difficult bone for the Esoteric to gnaw at within the empire.
It was precisely because of these border families fighting on the frontier that the nobles of the Imperial Capital could afford to despise those from the rural borders.
For An Su, a minor-born, the Imperial Capital might fall, but the border must not, for his retreat and ancestral home were both at the border—his family’s mines were still there.
These were immovable.
Lister and Arthur also heard the Priest’s words; they turned back and stared at him coldly, silent. Although neither was particularly noble, they sincerely took pride in their families and truly aspired to become Sun Knight and Moon Nobility.
Even though their method of accomplishing this was somewhat deviant.
"You make a very good point."
An Su nodded at the Priest, showing a serene smile, "I will immediately send threats to that decrepit old man from the Chenxing family. Once the border opens wide to welcome our divine forces, the great rise of our Esoteric Sect is imminent!"
