They had just offended Hanjun, and he surely wouldn't want to help now.
If they had to wait for the Church of Light to act later, the Freehold of Veranil's land would suffer from the demon invasion.
What could they do about it?
The Freehold of Veranil was a country that developed through trade, and they had little military power.
They couldn't resist the demon army on their own.
Actually, this news wasn't only worrying the Freehold of Veranil's people; other countries were concerned too.
If the demons could break through the Kingdom of Orinthia's defenses and sneak in, would other countries be in danger as well?
As this thought crossed their minds, their worry grew.
If the demons rampaged through other countries, they would still need the Church of Light's help to completely defeat them.
Someone suggested, "Why don't we ask the Church of Light to come and deal with these demons?"
Hanjun lazily replied, "Didn't you all say you didn't like the Church of Light? Why do you need their help now? Since you're confident you can control the Church of Light, you must also be confident in dealing with these demons."
Hanjun's words were highly sarcastic, and everyone's faces looked unhappy.
They had spoken badly about the Church of Light in front of Hanjun, and now, faced with the situation, they were about to beg the Church for help without having done anything yet.
Hanjun's attitude made the Freehold of Veranil envoys feel ashamed, but knowing their country was being invaded made it hard for them to stay calm.
They looked towards Duke Dzemael, hoping he would speak on their behalf, their desperation was clear.
Hanjun asked, "Why are the Freehold of Veranil envoys asking Duke Dzemael for help? Is Duke Dzemael more trustworthy than your own king?"
The Freehold of Veranil envoys quickly looked away, and Duke Dzemael made a move to avoid the question.
But Hanjun's comment made their actions seem even more suspicious.
No matter what he decided, the players who were watching this scene were happy.
They had been frustrated by the Freehold of Veranil's little tricks before, so now when they saw that the Freehold of Veranil was the one seeking their help, they were naturally pleased.
The Freehold of Veranil's envoys looked around but no one dared to confront them or speak up at that moment.
Yes, they were all thinking, who can ensure the demons are defeated?
If every country present couldn't defeat the demons, why would they be here negotiating how to handle them?
Right now, only the Church of Light was seen as able to solve the problem with the demons, and this was a shared belief.
In other words, their lives were now in the hands of the Church of Light.
For the sake of his people, the Freehold of Veranil had no choice but to accept this condition.
Seeing him endure the humiliation, Hanjun snapped his fingers, drawing everyone's attention to him.
He said, "Master PungPong, this matter is now in your hands."
Master PungPong who is standing behind Hanjun, was thrilled to receive the actual mission and witness Hanjun's decisive action.
The Freehold of Veranil's territory was not far from the Kingdom of Orinthia, so their mission would be completed quickly.
There was also a system notification about another task.
Master PungPong and his team needed to supervise the people who built the Church of Light in the Freehold of Veranil.
Once the Church fully activated, this would allow them to respawn in the Freehold of Veranil's territory.
With the task in hand, Master PungPong and his team left in front of the Freehold of Veranil's envoys.
After they left, the people in the meeting room turned their attention back to Hanjun.
Hanjun's smile seemed particularly smug to everyone, but they had no way to deal with him because they now knew that if the demons attacked their territory, they would have to ask Hanjun for help.
