In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

She had to make arrangements to deal with what might happen next.

The premise of all this is that there should be no chaos within oneself.

The news of the Demon King's death cannot be spread...

"……I have no opinion."

Maria was not stupid either. In the blink of an eye, she understood the meaning of the other party's actions.

So she had no intention of rejecting the other party. After nodding slightly, she leaned back.

Soon, a group of maids took her and the soldiers away.

Ramalen also arranged for the other banshees to rest for a while, digest this shocking fact, and then consider what to do next.

As for herself, she just sat there quietly looking at the empty conference room.

a long time.

A sigh was heard faintly...

……

Maria quickly settled down in the royal court.

Her days are very leisurely and she doesn't have much work to do. Her greatest pleasure on weekdays is to read a book.

It is worth mentioning that the banshees are quite serious about the inheritance of book knowledge, and in terms of art, books about singing are particularly valued.

According to several banshees who managed the library that Maria had met, singing was the most beautiful thing about the banshees, not their appearance and demeanor.

To be honest, the Demon King's death made Maria lose her direction for a while.

After all, her biggest purpose here was to find out whether the leader of this special race knew something that was not recorded in books.

Now that the other party has died in battle, Maria no longer understands the meaning of her staying here.

So she could only temporarily look at the Sarkaz records to see if there was anything worth noting.

It was during these ordinary days that the investigators sent out one after another brought back intelligence.

The Demon King died in battle and the defense line collapsed.

Such bombshell news made everyone a little unbelievable for a while.

But after seeing that the Banshee King Court did not come forward to admit it, everyone subconsciously wanted to escape. They began to scold the people who passed back the information, saying that they were in collusion and wanted to destroy the peace in the city.

But as more and more investigators returned, the news was brought up again and again.

No matter how reluctant they are, they have to admit one thing.

The strength of the coalition forces really exceeded their imagination.

They came here after going through untold hardships and losing their families, seeking shelter and peace.

But this place is about to become a battlefield.

For a time, many people could not accept such an outcome.

Many excited people even ran to the Banshee King's Court's base, trying to get a truly official notice.

But the banshees simply drove these people away.

This only deepened the panic among the crowd.

More and more people gathered at the Banshee King's Court's base, trying to find an answer they were sure of.

They want to know what they and others should do next.

When Maria couldn't concentrate on reading, she would walk to her window... From here she could see the gathering crowd and the banshees who were maintaining order.

She didn't have much opinion on it.

After all, no matter how chaotic the situation is, it has nothing to do with her.

Maria would occasionally take this opportunity to sneak out and see what the city was like when the banshees were short-handed.

It was also on such a day that Maria once again met Father Sakota, whom she had met before.

"Hey, we meet again."

Hiding in the tree, the priest raised his bandaged hand and waved to Maria with a smile on his face.

And on the ground lay a large group of young men who had tried to attack Maria.

The bad news from the front line made many people lose their minds, and the suppressed fear and madness urgently needed an outlet.

The priest, a Sakota who is not welcome by the Sarkaz, is the best punching bag.

During this period of time, he had almost no peace.

Wherever he went, someone would attack him.

Especially at night, the Sakota man's unconcealable halo and wings made him as conspicuous as a target.

Only for half a day could he hide in some corners and catch his breath.

As for his own ruined church...

He hasn't been back for a long time.

"You have a lot more injuries on your body."

Maria looked at the priest who was afraid to get down from the tree and spoke slowly.

The other party just scratched his head with a silly smile.

"It can't be helped. Major events have happened one after another recently, and I understand everyone is a little emotional."

"Even if their attacks on you were intended to kill you?"

"There's nothing we can do about it."

The priest scratched his head, but didn't mind it much.

"After all, there are good people in this city... They are the ones who accepted me these past few days, otherwise my situation would definitely be much worse."

"This also proves that my theory is correct. The Sarkaz are not born sinful as recorded!"

Faced with the current situation of being surrounded by enemies, the priest was not angry at all. Instead, he was happy that his theory had been proven once again.

He firmly believed that as long as enough evidence was collected, even Lateran would be able to ease its relationship with the Sarkaz!

Maria just shook her head slightly at his idea.

"The fate of idealists is often pitiful."

"Hahaha, maybe I'm an exception."

Of course, the priest understood that Maria's words were a reminder to himself that he was indeed not suitable to continue to fulfill his dream.

But the priest had his own ideas.

Just as he had told Maria before, he had made all preparations.

Especially now, the coalition forces are about to arrive and this place is about to become a battlefield.

Even if it was to repay the banshee's kindness, to protect those who might be in danger, or to open the hearts of the one in ten million Sarkaz people, he had to stay here.

Everything ordinary in people’s lives today develops from a small incredible thing, which is the result of the dedication of tens of millions of people over decades, hundreds of years and millions of years.

He knew how dangerous and crazy his actions were.

But...what if?

What if what I do today can inspire a group of people to think, and they pass on the ideas?

Will anything change at all?

With this attitude, he stayed in this land that did not accept him.

Before every future arrives, someone is needed to become the stepping stone.

He has no parents and has lost his respected grandparents, so he firmly believes this.

"Hope always comes after repeated attempts."

The priest smiled and carefully came down from the tree.

He looked at Maria, whose still young face revealed the most ordinary perseverance.

Maria was silent for a long time and took a deep breath.

"really……"

"Eh? You agree with my idea?!"

The priest was stunned for a moment, then a smug smile appeared on his face.

"See, I told you there would always be someone I could convince!"

"……hope so."

Maria didn't explain much.

She came back from the future and saw the situation here.

Of course she knew that in the future, the man's dream would not be realized at all, and what he did now was a complete failure... It was also for this reason that she wanted to remind him not to waste his efforts.

But looking at the other person's silly smile, she finally stopped talking.

Idealists give everything for their ideals, but end up failing, which is only tragic in their own eyes.

What makes a hero a hero is not what heights he climbs.

Instead, when the need arose, he simply waved his arms, roared, and took the first step to tear apart the darkness.

Once upon a time, she was also a madman who tore through the darkness like that.

But unlike the man, she succeeded and went very far...

Thinking about it, Maria was still considering what to say next.

In the distant city, a voice came out like lightning.

"The coalition forces are coming!"

Chapter 261 Lamaren

The coalition soldiers are coming...

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue and spread throughout the city in an instant.

Many people ran impatiently to the edge of the city and looked into the distance.

After they actually saw the cold steel battleship appear, everyone's faces became extremely ugly.

They trembled and were anxious.

The terrible things that happened in their hometown have become their nightmares, and they simply cannot imagine the scene of the banshees resisting this terrible coalition.

Many people could no longer hold on and were ready to escape.

Even though they were not well rested at this point and their supplies were insufficient, they still wanted to escape.

Although it is dangerous to escape now, at least there is a chance to survive. If they don't escape now, when the war really breaks out, they will have no chance to survive.

So they almost all gathered at the edge of the city, trying to get the banshees to open a passage to the outside world so that they could escape.

The banshees also looked embarrassed about their choice.

Of course they could understand what these people were thinking... After all, even they themselves were a little conflicted.

But the problem is that they absolutely cannot open the city gate now!

Since the coalition forces can be seen within the field of vision, it means that the enemy is at most three days away from us.

This is just the main force.

If the enemy chose to send light cavalry to charge, they would be able to reach the outskirts of the city in less than a day.

What will the banshees do then?

You know, a population of over one million is not a small number. Even if only a few tens of people choose to evacuate, it is still a terrifying number.

When the light cavalry comes to attack, the banshees have to protect the civilians who have already walked to the bridge on the one hand, and on the other hand they have to consider public opinion and protect those ordinary people who have left the city but not far away and may be caught up by the light cavalry at any time.
