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

Even if there was only a one in ten million chance, Ramalen couldn't imagine how many rumors would arise here after she left the city, and how bad people's hearts and the situation would become.

So Maria, knowing that she was leaving, had to go with her!

Even though she knew how dangerous and unreasonable the request was.

But what Lamaren didn't expect was that Maria just thought for a moment and then nodded!

"no problem."

"Um?!"

"Don't be so surprised." Maria shook her head.

To be honest, there is not much point for her to stay in this city now. After all, the Demon King has disappeared, so she should leave this place and look for any long-lived beings among the Sarkaz who can tell her some useful information about the behemoth.

The only reason she stayed here now was to witness what would happen to Father Sakota in the future.

Even if it was just a simple sigh, she wanted to see the ending of this idealist.

……

After confirming that Maria would follow suit, the two of them ran out of the city without a moment's delay.

They also met many people along the way.

The marching refugees, the guarding Banshee Guards, and various other personnel.

But the two men were not ordinary people. They easily avoided the sight of the crowd and came outside the city wall.

What Maria didn't expect was that she would meet Father Sakota again.

But his situation is even worse now...

"Oh, we meet again."

Hiding outside the city wall in a panic, the angel with a halo above his head once again smiled and greeted Maria.

But his face was already pale and a little scary at this time. He was leaning against the wall, with a bottomless cliff next to him. There was still a machete left in his abdomen, and the gaping wound had almost cut off one-third of his waist!

The black Godfather costume was also stained with blood.

But all of it is his own.

"And this... dear banshee, it's so late, leaving the city may not be a good idea. After all, we don't know when those coalition forces will appear."

The priest seemed to think that Maria and the others had to flee from this place that was about to turn into a battlefield overnight. He did not say anything, but gave them a reminder with a smile.

Maria tilted her head.

He noticed the presence of another person.

The priest who saw this scene also smiled bitterly helplessly.

"Come out, kid. There's no need to hide. Everyone here is trustworthy."

"Father..."

The hiding figure carefully poked his head out, and Maria also knew this child.

"Odena?"

Maria blinked and looked at the other person, also slightly surprised.

When Odena saw Maria, her eyes widened with excitement, and a hint of joy finally appeared on her little face.

The priest standing by was also thoughtful when he saw this scene.

"How come you are here?"

Lamaren, who was watching this scene, asked hesitantly.

As the leader of the Banshees, she was no stranger to the eccentric Father Sakota. In fact, as a person who longed for peace, she had indirect contact with him and understood his ideas.

Although she didn't think that thousands of years of hatred would be resolved because of the actions of a Sakota, she had to admit that for the Sarkaz, reconciliation was also a possibility in the future.

But no one knows how much it will cost in the process.

"Everyone now feels that the war will start soon... and they are all afraid of violence..." The priest did not speak, but Odena on the side spoke first.

She mustered up her courage and looked at the two people in front of her who were obviously extraordinary, her voice trembling.

"The clan leader and his men were trying hard to maintain order, but... everyone still started fighting."

"The priest tried to mediate but was shot and injured by the others."

"I...I was worried about the priest, so I sneaked out and wanted to help him..."

As Odena spoke, she carefully revealed the patched medical kit she carried with her.

The priest standing by had a touching expression.

"You're a kind child... But as I just told you, don't worry about me. I've been around for so many years, and I do have some medical skills. But if others notice you and I getting too close, you and your clan will be in trouble."

He smiled, and even though his own wounds were almost fatal, he was still comforting others.

Perhaps in his opinion, being able to meet such a kind girl made this injury worthwhile for him.

As for what happened to the two people, Ramalen gradually fell silent.

Although she knew from the intelligence she collected from below that many people in the city were restless and group fights occurred from time to time.

But she didn't expect that the so-called fight had reached this level.

Judging from the priest's wounds, the attacker really launched the attack with the intention of killing him.

Maria stepped forward, took a closer look at the man's wound that was bleeding profusely, was silent for a few seconds, and then pulled out the machete without hesitation.

The intense pain made the priest groan, but he still had a smile on his face.

"This...but...it really hurts."

"At least he won't die."

Maria didn't say much, but calmly took out a small bottle of blood for experiments that she had on her and poured it on the other person.

This blood, which had been refined dozens of times in different ways, had almost completely wiped out the special properties of her blood, but at the same time, the medical effect was not as amazing as before. After a long time, the priest's wound was barely able to stop bleeding, and it completely lost its activity.

If you want to fix the rest, it may just take time.

Maria originally wanted to use these blood bottles as templates to arm Yharnam's current hunter team, but seeing the priest's current appearance, she chose to use them.

Anyway, the puppet has memorized all the steps for refining the blood bottle, so if it is used, it will just have to be refined again.

The life of an admirable idealist is obviously more important than something that can be reproduced by spending time.

"This thing... well, maybe I shouldn't ask too much."

Seeing Maria saving his life without changing her expression, the priest was stunned for a few moments, but after a moment, he still smiled.

He looked so heartless... To be honest, Maria didn't like him very much.

"Take care of yourself...and don't tell anyone about what happened tonight."

Maria did not stay here for too long. She simply nodded and then pulled the silent Ramalen aside and ran away.

During the rush, Ramalen had to pull her mind out of the depression... She had to go all out to keep up with Maria's speed.

"Don't think too much about things...those are not what you should care about."

Maria noticed the girl's confusion and hesitation, so she spoke and calmly warned her.

"You are the master of the Banshee Court. You are only responsible for your compatriots and your city. They trust you and entrust their lives to you. Father Anderson deserves respect, but that's all... You can have your own ideas, but right now, he's not your concern."

"But you saved him..."

"That's none of your business."

Maria's voice was calm, even inhuman. She certainly guessed what Ramalen was thinking about at the moment, but obviously, as a monarch and a leader, Ramalen should not have any unnecessary sentimental thoughts.

At least not now.

What she needs to consider is how to lead her compatriots and city to win the upcoming war.

"..."

Lamaren bit her lip.

She looked at Maria's back as she ran in front of her and couldn't help biting her lips.

After a moment, her lips trembled slightly.

"Perhaps... I'm really not very competent..."

"As I just reminded you, girl, these are not things you should be thinking about... It's too late to consider whether you are a qualified leader now."

As they rushed forward, the bodies of the two people gradually turned into black light, flashing rapidly among the surrounding mountains and fields.

"Stand atop the castle, holding your banner, watching the battlefield, treating everyone as pawns to win. This is the only thing you should do now... No matter how ugly, cruel, or despicable it is, it's all worth it."

"At least you're still alive, that's the greatest qualification."

Another rapid sprint, Maria's body at this time showed a quality that even Vayvan could not match.

In almost an instant, she climbed over a high mountain.

It was also at this time that the coalition camp appeared in front of them.

"That's about the distance."

After roughly estimating the distance between the two sides' positions, Maria made a judgment.

If the march is normal, it is recorded here that it takes about a day to reach the Banshee King City. At this distance, setting up base camp is a good choice.

In fact, for a normal siege, a garrison distance of fifty to sixty kilometers is the basic requirement.

These distances are sufficient to ensure that if the siege on the front fails, there is room for maneuver in the rear. At the same time, it can also prevent various problems such as enemy sneak attacks when the base camp is stationed.

But this speed still made Ramalen worried.

The speed of the coalition forces still exceeded her imagination. She had just learned about the coalition forces breaking through the defense line not long ago, but only a few days had passed and the enemy had arrived at this location... The impact of these high-speed warships on the battle situation exceeded her imagination.

What made her even more nervous were the two terrifying warships that were nearly a hundred meters high!

The ship's length of several hundred meters directly tore apart her last fantasy!

impossible……

The hundreds of meters of natural defenses that the Banshees were so proud of were simply not capable of stopping such a ship charge!

It can be said that if the coalition forces are willing to bear the losses, they can even directly move their ships across and use the enemy's ships that are several hundred meters long to establish a channel to directly engage in battle with the Banshee King City!

Their original battle plan became a complete joke after the appearance of ships of this level!

The banshees simply cannot take advantage of their natural defenses!

Not to mention the heavy guns on these ships...

The most important thing is that these things are not the monarch-class battleships recorded in records!

Ramalen even suspected that if these things fired just one volley, the Banshees' walls would be destroyed!

In this day and age, individual power is no longer invincible...

It was at this moment that Ramalen finally and completely believed the news that the Demon King would be suddenly killed. While the Sarkaz were being dragged down by the war, how much progress had this world made?

"...Is this the most powerful battleship of this era?"

Looking at the warships in the coalition camp, Maria took a few glances and then silently withdrew her gaze.

It was very big, but... not as exaggerated as Maria had imagined.

After all, she had seen the mobile city-states of the future... Let's not talk about anything else, just take Rhodes Island as an example, their warships are a circle larger than the warships here.

If I remember correctly, Rhodes Island's ships were said to be 150 meters high and over 600 meters long...

But since we already have this level of equipment, it won’t take too long to develop further.

Maybe in just one or two hundred years, these things will probably undergo another change.

The times are always developing very fast.

"There are two ships...if...maybe it's okay..."

Compared to Maria who looked at these destructive weapons calmly, Lamaren had already started to think about how to deal with them.

Maria's words just now did remind her that she really couldn't think too much. The only important thing for her now was to lead the banshees to deal with the enemy this time.

Although the Allied warships were formidable, they only had two.
