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

After hearing the familiar name, the doctor raised his body with a sharp look after a brief silence.

"You mean, He did this?"

The doctor obviously didn't know about the various battles Maria had fought with Godan before, nor did he know why Godan appeared on the ground again.

"It's very possible."

Maria rubbed her brow.

Since she came into this world, she has been trying to fight Godan.

The two sides have fought again and again until now.

She was trying to find a way to deal with Godan step by step, while Godan was also trying to catch Maria completely step by step.

Now, Maria has gathered all the basic conditions and started to think about how to kill it safely.

Godan also successfully transferred some of his thoughts and power into Terra.

Both sides are making progress, and both sides are cautiously trying to kill the other side.

And both sides do have the ability to kill each other.

"So what are you going to do?"

After hearing Maria's answer, the doctor's face suddenly changed.

After hesitating for a few moments, she suddenly clenched her fists again.

Without any hesitation, she asked Maria directly.

"Go check..."

Maria shook her head slightly.

"Although his memory burned quickly, I still found some useful information from it... For example, now I know where their camp is. Maybe I can go there and investigate and find something..."

Maria knew that Godan's coming was inevitable. It was even possible that Godan had organized some mysterious organization hidden beneath civilization. After all, Godan did not seem to be a monster that could not communicate. He had communicated with Maria before.

This also means that there is a high probability that He will actively borrow the power of the Terrans.

"If they were just a group of people who happened to hear Godan's cry, then I would kill them directly... If they really had obtained Godan's direct resources..."

Maria paused for a moment, her eyes sharpening.

The doctor also frowned.

"To interrogate them?"

"...Then I will plunder all their memories and then kill them!"

Maria spoke, using the calmest tone, speaking the most bloody words.

The doctor hesitated for a few moments during this meal.

She suddenly felt that Kal'tsit's reminders and warnings to her were meaningful.

After all, Maria is willing to kill if she disagrees with you...it's really a bit creepy.

More importantly, Maria said this not as a threat or anything...she was really prepared to kill someone!

"This is really..."

The doctor rubbed his brows with a headache, but did not stop the other party.

Because she also knew that facing Godan, facing this terrifying existence that was far beyond her personal ability to fight, any caution and killing were necessary.

……

The night passed quickly.

The Doctor and Maria took the initiative to look for the village chief. After a brief conversation, Maria left the Doctor in the village and then drove him out alone.

Not long after, she found her target a little further away.

It wasn't a big camp...looked like there were only about 20 or 30 people.

In the middle of the tattered tent stood a cold altar, upon which lay the disemboweled corpses of several children...

At this moment, an old man in a crimson robe was holding a dagger with a fanatical look on his face, kneeling at a place beside the altar. A little further away, everyone was worshiping excitedly.

Maria didn't waste any more time and walked in slowly.

"who?!"

Noticing someone breaking in, everyone turned their heads and looked over here with unfriendly expressions.

They temporarily stopped the ceremony, raised various weapons in their hands, and looked at this side with ferocious expressions.

"Didn't you say it?"

Seeing these people's reactions, Maria paused slightly.

Maria knew that Godan hadn't mentioned his past to them since they had dared to react so aggressively.

This also seems to indicate that these people are not the puppets contacted by Godan, but simply a group of crazy guys.

But this is not certain... After all, Godan was not sure whether Maria would take the initiative to attack, so he did not say anything.

After thinking for a while, Maria also shook her head slightly.

She placed her palm on the long sword and spoke silently.

"So... before I take action, are any of you planning to surrender on your own?"

"...Arrogant! There's no way you can stop us!"

These fanatics had no idea what they were thinking about, and they were roaring with excitement on their faces.

The believers beside him also became excited as he spoke, their eyes looking fierce.

But Maria just sighed silently and then raised her sword.

“Sulfone——!”

The sharp blade chopped down directly without a trace of mercy!

"There's nothing more to say..."

Maria raised her head silently, her gray eyes as always.

In just a moment, he broke into the crowd!

Amidst the flashing of swords and sabers, Maria did not pause for even a moment.

For her, the smooth art of killing was something that didn't require any thought; everything happened naturally...

In just a few breaths, more than a dozen people turned into corpses all over the ground!

After completing this operation, Maria let out a long breath, turned her head, and looked at the people who had not yet completely died, whose flesh was still twitching and whose bodies were still moving. Her eyes narrowed slightly...

Hunting ground!

Maria instantly pulled them into the memory of Yharnam.

But unfortunately, the result was similar to that of the previous man.

As soon as Maria reached out to test the memory, the souls of these people were all burned.

Maria could only vaguely sense another direction...

"Do we have to keep searching?"

Maria frowned slightly, her eyes flickering.

These people were just a marginal group... She could sense that in the leader's memory, there were some people who were even higher level than him.

But Maria couldn't confirm whether this was an organization founded by Godan or whether these people were just crazy followers like the Shanhai Clan...

"I hope it's the latter..."

Maria exhaled, shook her head slightly, and collected her thoughts.

He turned around and confirmed that there was no one alive at the scene, then turned to look at the children who were used as sacrifices.

After pausing for a few seconds, she took some time to take the body away and bury it before quietly returning to the village.

……

After saying goodbye to everyone briefly, Maria didn't waste any time. She turned around and started chasing with the doctor.

And the pursuit naturally could not continue as agreed before, following the trajectory of the first operation with Prisseth.

Fortunately, the doctor understood and supported Maria's choice.

The two of them deviated from their original route and began to chase...

……

On the other side, in the border city of Kazdel.

Inside the Kazdel Military Council.

Another meeting was held, and Tracy still sat at the top of the table as before.

But on both sides, there were fewer representatives from the Royal Court... Only a third of them were familiar faces, and most of the others were newcomers who were sent over... There were even a few places where no one from the Royal Court came.

Things like this have been happening since he left Kazdel...but fortunately, the situation has finally stabilized a little recently.

但这也并非全是坏处。

At least, Tracy has been able to determine who are the people he can trust for support...

"Your Highness..."

Sarkaz, who was in charge of finance, began to read out the financial revenue of the people in recent days as usual. The sheriff continued to explain the various contradictions and challenges that had arisen on the border, and the most critical one... the whereabouts of that group of crazy people who came from nowhere.

After hearing all this, Tracy lowered his head in silence.

Seeing this, the other people looked at each other with some uneasiness on their faces.

When they were in Kazdel, due to their status, in addition to the Demon King granting them some funds, other royal courts also provided them with various resources... But now that they have moved to the border, such support has become less...

This is not because the Royal Court does not provide it, but simply because their environment is not very stable and all kinds of attackers emerge one after another... This directly leads to the fact that for the same support, the team transported by the Royal Court needs to consume more funds.

This directly leads to less money reaching their hands.

It was at this time that everyone realized why Theresa had demanded that the real highway in Kazdel be built.

That is to say, they did it in the past, otherwise, the resources they have available now would be even worse.

But even so, they are now finding it difficult to continue.

Many people could understand Tracy's dilemma, but unfortunately, with their brains, they really couldn't come up with any good solutions...

Instead, it was the woman sitting next to Tracy, wearing a strange black robe, who slowly spoke at this time.

"Can't support you anymore?"

"..."

Tracy didn't reply, but turned his slightly ruthless face away and looked at the woman.

"..."

“It’s easy to fix.”

The woman chuckled softly, her posture calm.

The people around also turned their heads, as if wondering what other insights the woman might have.

"Can't we just disband the extra troops?"

The woman spoke, and the words she uttered made everyone a little disappointed for a moment.

That's it?

Is this the woman's way?

So, how could she gain such respect from His Highness and even be allowed to sit by his side?

Although no one spoke, the expressions in their eyes clearly expressed this meaning.

This made everyone look at him with a little contempt.

Tracy noticed this too.

He didn't care about these things in the past, but not now.
