Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

Some people even took more than a dozen home, intending to raise them well.

"Thank you, Speaker of the Council."

Buster sincerely thanked Qin Yu.

"You're welcome. It was someone else's idea."

As the cats integrated into the main city, the once quiet city became lively again.

"I wonder if the Speaker of the Council will have a plan to eliminate evil gods like the Titans did?"

"Cleansing out the evil gods is going to take way too long. I don't want to work myself to death. You might not believe it, but my original purpose for coming to the Astral Plane was actually to go on vacation."

After saying this, Qin Yu glanced at Luna, wondering why things had turned out this way.

"Don't look at me, I don't know anything!"

Luna didn't expect so many things to happen before she arrived.

"Luckily we arrived, otherwise that guy would still be floating around like a ghost."

Qin Yu's use of understatement to silence Luna and make her look at the scenery, but she was still very happy.

“There are gains and losses, Speaker. I should also be leaving now. Before I go, I have to remind you of something…” Buster had achieved his goal and it was time for him to leave.

"Behind these evil gods' arrival is the instigation of another evil god; if this continues, that evil god may very well become even more powerful..."

After leaving these words, Buster departed, and the cats waved goodbye to their god.

"Is it that giant octopus...?"

After thinking it over, Qin Yu could only think of the giant octopus that had suddenly disappeared. That creature must be observing the Astral Plane from the shadows, watching the tigers fight from the sidelines. It has to be said that the idea was indeed quite good.

In the Holy See

The 10-strong army has been assembled, and their target is the Drow Empire. Monet has requested to join this war, but she is not going to fight the Drow elves; instead, she is going to find Red and Angel.

She instructed the nuns in the Light Church to keep an eye out and report any unusual activity to her, as the Light Church was definitely in serious trouble.

After talking with the nuns that day, Monet observed the words and actions of the bishops and others in the Holy See, and sure enough, they were very different from his previous impressions of them.

Meanwhile, the Drow Empire, upon learning of the Holy See's advance, immediately mobilized its own forces. Red and Angel also learned that Monet was also participating in this expedition; perhaps they could take this opportunity to communicate with him...

Chapter 385 Visitors to the Radiant Sanctuary

In the Radiant Church

The Pope's death alarmed the Church of Light, as he was the leader of the Holy See and, as a force supporting the Holy See, they naturally had to express their regret.

However, what concerned them even more was that the murderers of the Pope were not vampires, but two people who were very familiar with the Holy See of Light, and these two were also members of the Snowfeather Guild.

The reason behind this is puzzling; what exactly was their motive for assassinating the Pope?

The archangel had his own opinion on this matter.

In his view, assassinating the Pope was probably a way for them to make peace. The various factions were actually connected to each other, and the connection was with Qin Yu, who had already left.

In the past, the Holy See of Light and Qin Yu had a close relationship, while the Blood Clan of the Blood Soul Realm was a force under Yin Feixue's command.

Hong and Angel's assassination attempt on the Pope was likely intended to force the Holy See to compromise, and then use this incident to deter others and threaten the Blood Soul Realm vampires into ceasing their war with the Holy See...

"Archangel, your view is too far-fetched. I don't think this matter is that simple."

Karena directly refuted the archangel's opinion.

"If that's really the case, how could they not have thought that doing so would only deepen the hatred of the Holy See, accelerate the war, and make it difficult to stop?"

"Accelerating the war process can also be a means of ending the war, and I didn't even consider that."

The archangel had clearly misunderstood again; that was not what Kalena meant. She thought the whole thing was fundamentally absurd.

"I don't think those two had any reason to end the war by assassinating the Pope; it's logically impossible."

"However, the Holy See has already sent over the relevant information, and there's nothing wrong with the reason behind it."

“Sometimes the absence of a problem is a problem, Archangel. Please leave this matter to me.”

Karina felt there was something fishy about this. The Pope's previous actions of launching a war without prior consultation were already very unusual, and now this had happened again. She suspected that something had happened to the Holy See.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you." With Kalena in charge, the archangel was naturally at ease.

Karena plans to enter the Holy City of the Church of Light in human form to gather intelligence.

Central continent of the main world

The Holy See's 10-strong army has already set off for the Drow Empire, and Monet is among them.

The Church of Light is currently fighting on two fronts, battling both the vampires and the Drow Empire. If this continues, the Church of Light will surely perish.

"Red, Angel, I hope you can tell me the truth..."

Meanwhile, the Drow Empire also mobilized 200,000 troops to confront the Holy See of Light. Red and Angel also infiltrated the army, intending to meet with Monet on the battlefield and strive for peaceful communication.

"Sister Hong, do you think Monet will listen to what we say?"

"Probably. Monet is as calm as ever; she'll definitely notice something amiss."

The two armies faced off on the plains. Although the drow elves primarily relied on assassination and archery, they had made new breakthroughs through years of training, creating new troop types: drow hunters and black dragon knights.

The former are regular cavalry, riding fierce black panthers, while the latter, as the name suggests, are flying units riding black dragons.

It can be said that the fighting power of the Drow Empire is now vastly different from what it used to be, and the 100,000-strong army of the Holy See of Light might very well be wiped out here.

Holy City

Karena, now in human form, entered the Holy City. She currently appears as an ordinary nun, which allows her to move around the main city with ease.

The capital is currently under severe martial law. The two-front war has left the city quite vulnerable, hence the high level of vigilance.

Karina went directly to the church; as a nun, coming and going was not a big problem for her.

Karena glanced at the nuns and priests coming and going in the church, and some of them struck her as odd.

But she didn't know what this strange feeling was; it seemed that some of those people made her feel very uncomfortable.

She continued walking through the church, where a group of nuns were walking together and approaching Karena.

Have you made any new discoveries?

"No."

"I've inspected all the areas I'm responsible for, but there have been no new discoveries."

"We really can't find that octopus."

"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

……

Karina pretended not to hear anything and continued walking forward, but in reality, she had already set her sights on the nuns.

Their words seemed to have revealed some information, and she needed to observe them secretly further.

At this moment, the armies of the Holy See and the Drow Empire have clashed on the battlefield.

The Drow archers completely overwhelmed the Holy See's Royal Guard archers; when it comes to archery, they are truly professionals.

However, the Holy See's clerical legions and mixed cavalry legions suppressed the drow elves. The Holy See was more experienced in this regard, but thanks to the Black Dragon Knights' aerial advantage, the drow elves did not fall behind, and a delicate balance was achieved between the two sides.

On the battlefield, Red and Angel are approaching Monet's direction; they want to speak directly with him.

Monet was dealing with the flying black dragon knight. When the dragon swooped down to attack them, Monet leaped onto its back, kicked away the drow elf holding the reins, and took control of the dragon himself.

Seeing this, Hong and Angel also jumped up, which allowed them to talk in the air and avoid trouble.

"You..." Monet saw the two familiar figures and made the black dragon take off. The three of them faced each other on the dragon's back.

"Monet, please believe us about the Pope's death. This really has nothing to do with us."

Red didn't know if Monet would listen or not, but she still had to say it anyway.

Can I trust you?

Monet asked a question in return, which gave Red and Angel a glimmer of hope.

"Ugh?"

"Of course!"

"Alright, I've also made a new discovery. Let's exchange information."

They had expected a fierce battle, but things went surprisingly smoothly. Monet, Red, and Angel exchanged information about their situations on the dragon's back.

"octopus?"

Hong and Angel were a little confused when they heard this.

"Hong, your attraction to the smell of blood is most likely the work of that octopus. I've already instructed the nuns to keep an eye on things in the church; I just hope they can find something..."

Within the Holy See, the nuns were already being watched by the lurking Kalena. At night, they would pair up and search suspicious locations within the church, all of which Kalena observed.

What are they looking for?

A pair of nuns were about to search the warehouse when they were caught red-handed by the bishop who came out of it.

"You two!"

The nuns were startled. "Your Excellency, Bishop..."

The bishop was unusually irritable. "Perfect timing! The warehouse needs organizing. Come and help!"

"Yes……"

The two entered the warehouse with the bishop, and Karena secretly followed behind, peeking inside...

Chapter 386 The Conspiracy That Emerges

Inside the warehouse

Two nuns were helping to move heavy goods, while the bishop watched them from a distance. After making sure no one else was coming, he couldn't help but smile, preparing to make his move on them.
