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

Chapter 419: The woman said nothing, but drew her sword.

The Papal Knights now remained outside the city.

Although the Pope's order was for Vlad to lead the Papal Knights to guard the border in case of any special circumstances, Vlad did not actually go to the border.

He asked other Papal Knights to go to the border to make preparations, while he himself, with the remaining Papal Knights, stayed near the city to make preparations.

The Papal Knights themselves have no stance and the only thing they obey is the Pope's orders.

So after Vlad made this move, they didn't have much objection.

They simply followed Vlad to the edge of the city and set up camp.

And patrol and protect at all times.

Of course, they will also have some unimportant discussions.

"To be honest, I still find it difficult to understand His Holiness the Pope's orders."

Walking on the patrol road with his companions, a Papal Knight shook his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"He seems to agree more with Rayna's ideas, but... why would he still ask us to obey Vlad's orders?"

"If you're worried that the Sarkaz are here with a conspiracy, wouldn't it be more appropriate to just have us obey Rayna's orders? We can react immediately if we encounter danger..."

"……I am not sure."

Walking beside it were two other Papal Knights.

The three people have the same configuration, a melee weapon and a gunpowder, but because of their different positions, their focus is somewhat different.

One of them was holding an exceptionally large and threatening rifle.

"Maybe it's because of our identities?"

Although the Papal Knights did not participate in foreign wars, they played an extremely important role in the few wars with the Sarkaz.

Perhaps, His Holiness the Pope gave up because he was concerned that their presence would cause some unnecessary associations among the Sarkaz?

"Is it just because of this?"

The Pope Knight who spoke first hesitated. He instinctively felt that such a statement was somewhat inconsistent with the facts, but he didn't know where the problem lay.

I could only think about it for a few seconds and then shake my head slightly.

"I don't know, but... these things have nothing to do with us."

The companion answered and glanced around. After confirming that it was safe, he turned back.

"I'm curious whether this meeting will be successful... Can we truly achieve peace with the Sarkaz?"

“…I have my doubts about this.”

The Pope Knight who spoke first shook his head.

"I don't deny that the Sarkaz came with good intentions this time... This might be the first time in thousands of years that Sarkaz have been invited to Lateran. This itself is a historical event, but... the problem is that the conflict between the Sarkaz and Lateran has lasted for far too long. Even if we can reach a peace agreement, it's probably hard for ordinary people to accept it."

"The conflict will continue, but... this is at least a start, isn't it?"

His companion spoke, his words sounding a little hazy.

Obviously, it has prospects for this peace conference.

However, these discussions only lasted for a few moments.

Soon, they all stopped.

Their eyes were all looking at a road not far away.

It was already midnight, and the fact that someone was still moving was itself suspicious.

What made them feel even more solemn was that there was only one person on the other side.

The cold white moonlight fell on her, outlining her appearance.

"……citizen!"

Several Papal Knights looked at each other, then at the figure, and issued a temporary warning.

"Please stop and accept our inspection!"

"..."

To their surprise, the other party acted as if they hadn't heard anything and continued to move forward indifferently.

His steps were firm, making everyone feel a little uneasy.

But soon, their expressions became serious.

The other two immediately became alert to their surroundings, while the Papal Knight standing in the front stared coldly at the female figure in front of him.

"Please stop and be inspected!"

"..."

The figure continued to move forward as if he hadn't heard anything.

This made the Pope Knight a little confused.

He raised the lantern at his waist and waved silently.

I want to determine whether the other person has a certain degree of hearing impairment.

Even if you can't hear it, you should at least see it, right?

The Papal Knight wondered, but the woman remained silent.

She just kept coming closer.

At the waist, the long sword shone with a cold light...

……

Inside the camp, the man pushed his glasses up, a smug look on his face.

Rayna's arrangement did catch him off guard, but he also had his own way.

Now that the third batch of food has been transported into the city, it won’t be long before the first batch of infected people will appear.

He couldn't wait to see the time when people would discover that they were infected with Originium around them or even on themselves!

He did this very secretly, and the people who carried out the plan were all his most trusted confidants.

Ordinary people will definitely not be able to detect any abnormalities.

Once they are infected, they will never suspect the problem in their daily consumption.

They could only wonder if this was some kind of effect of the arrival of the Sarkaz.

On Terra, Originium is not necessarily related to Sarkaz, but Sarkaz is definitely related to Originium!

Once such sentiment spreads, it only takes a little push for the whole city to erupt in chaos.

By then, the failure of the meeting is a given. If things are arranged properly, the Sarkaz in the city may become hostile to them.

At that time, he can legitimately lead the Papal Knights to clear the area!

The situation will be back under his control!

When he thought of this, Vlad couldn't help but feel proud.

As for the ordinary people infected by Originium in his plan, they are pitiful but indifferent people.

All of this is a necessary sacrifice for the future of Lateran!

Thinking about it, Vlad couldn't help but stand up.

The feeling of pride made him feel particularly happy, and that was why he decided to indulge himself a little.

Coming to his suitcase, he carefully took out a bottle of wine that looked quite old.

Carefully opening the sealed cup, an aromatic aroma emanated from it. Vlad chuckled twice before slowly pouring it into the cup beside him.

"Although there is no corresponding cup, but...it doesn't matter."

Looking at the red liquid in the wine glass, Vlad smiled again and prepared to relax for a while with the biscuits he brought with him.

But before he took the first sip.

At the door, the sound of rapid armor clashing could be heard.

Soon, a two-meter-tall silver-white Papal Knight rushed in.

"The Cardinal..."

The Pope Knight spoke without even a word of nonsense, and directly issued a warning.

"Enemy attack, please prepare to retreat!"

"Enemy? Attack?"

Vlad, who had just drunk the wine, was stunned for a few moments, then his face showed ecstasy.

"Is it Rayna's people?"

"Ok?"

The Papal Knights were all confused by Vlad's reaction.

Why was Cardinal Vlad's first thought Cardinal Raynia?

But after a few times, he still shook his head honestly.

"We don't know who the enemy is yet."

"Not sure?"

Hearing that it wasn't Rayna, Vlad's joy faded a little.

But sooner, he became curious about what the Pope Knight said.

The unknown enemy has even the Papal Knights considering retreating...

"Is it the Sarkaz?"

Vlad could only think that these things were caused by the Sarkaz, who were famous for their force.

But the Pope Knight still shook his head.

"Can't tell."

"Ok?"

Vlad was truly confused now.

If they were indeed Sarkaz, it would be unlikely that their distinctive black horns were concealed.

There was no way the Papal Knight would not recognize it.

So... who could it be?

Vlad pondered.

Soon, another Papal Knight rushed in and issued a warning immediately.

"Your Highness! We should evacuate! The enemy has already broken into the camp!"

"what?!"

Before Vlad could reply, the Pope Knight who first reported the matter was stunned.

It's only been a few minutes? The enemy is already attacking?

What about the other knights?

Is there no one to stop it?

"no……"

Hearing the other party's words, the Pope Knight who had just entered the room felt a little helpless.

It’s not like they didn’t send people to stop them.

only……

It's impossible to stop it!
