The peace bought with money lasted for more than half a month.
During these past few weeks, the situation has been ever-changing.
Odelanqi finally took the initiative to provoke war, launching a full-scale attack on the Church Court a week after the standoff.
This war, which took place within the territory of Odelanqi, is referred to as the Purification War, part of the Aud Empire's unification war.
The aim of this battle by Odelanqi is to cleanse the Church of Light's influence in the northern continent and rebuild secular society.
Only in this way can Odelanqi truly transform and become the real Aud Empire.
In response, the Church of Light announced the excommunication of some military and political officials of Odelanqi, particularly King Gudelv.
On the other hand, the Church did not sit idly by but instead put up fierce resistance.
