After an entire year, everything is far from different already. The church that was spreading their influence at a fast pace suddenly stumbled into a thorny path
The Emperor's forceful resistance against the church made it extremely hard for the church to keep growing
In fact, instead of growing, their powers are decreasing
The masses favored the church more compared to the Emperor but they are force to have one battle after another
The Royal Family is close to the state of ruins. Their people turn their backs against them and their loyal men are dying one by one
However, at the same time, the church was also suffering heavy losses
It comes to the point that while they are still in the process of recruiting combatant clerics, there are already ones that are dying
Both sides were suffering heavy casualties but it was clear to see that it was the Emperor that is in the losing side
