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

The report also stated how many enemies were eliminated and how many achievements were made during this period.

From the beginning of our action until now, we have wiped out nearly a hundred enemies.

According to previous observations, the other side didn't have many people... Now that they have suffered so many losses, they must have been seriously damaged.

But the fact is, even now, these believers still act as if they know nothing and send people to their deaths.

This made Maria a little confused.

After all, judging from previous experiences, although these believers are crazy, they are not mentally ill.

They also knew that Maria was outside besieging their people, and some even speculated that Maria had already come to the city.

But now, they are like a group of fools, coming out to die... So what are they planning?

This made Maria notice something unusual.

But unfortunately, before she had time to think about it, the door to the side was suddenly opened.

It's the priest who has returned.

The priest had a cold face as always, with documents in his hands, and walked step by step to Maria.

He nodded slightly to the doctor, then placed the document on Maria's desk, his tone slightly excited.

"We've found their final stronghold!"

"Ok?"

……

The priest quickly explained the situation in a simple and clear manner.

After their encirclement and suppression for this period of time, the enemy was obviously in a certain degree of confusion.

Although they quickly stabilized, their actions were not as meticulous as before.

Under these circumstances, the people sent out by the priest finally achieved results...

Based on the information already received.

"Tonight, they will gather all the believers of the Servant Organization who are still in this city to hold a meeting to discuss how to act next..."

The priest said this, his eyes sharp.

His attitude was simple... Since these people dared to gather together, they should take this opportunity to get rid of everyone.

Maria fell silent at this time.

here we go again……

This... it was as if the good luck that had pushed the opportunity into her face had come again...

Something's wrong...

There must be something wrong with this!

Maria frowned, and the light in the room flickered on her face.

"What do you think?"

The priest was a little puzzled by Maria's silence at this moment, but he quickly came to his senses and nodded seriously.

He still has enough trust in Maria.

Since Maria was silent at this time, it meant that she had already noticed some problems... Although the priest felt that this was just a simple opportunity, but... since Maria behaved like this, he was willing to believe her.

“…Something went too smoothly.”

The familiar words came out of Maria's mouth again. This time, she really felt that things were going too smoothly.

"It went smoothly... isn't it good?"

The priest asked the same question that the doctor had just asked: Wouldn’t it be good if everything goes smoothly?

But Maria shook her head.

"Success is a good thing, but... why do you think we are having success now?"

Turning her head, Maria tapped her fingers on the table, her eyes fixed on everyone.

Everyone was a little confused. After hesitating for a few seconds, the doctor asked curiously.

"Because... you're here, right?"

In the doctor's opinion, the rapid progress of this matter was entirely due to Maria's contribution.

Maria's presence allowed them to intercept important intelligence from the enemy, and as a result, their actions could proceed quickly.

So all this... can be considered Maria's achievement?

"Ah."

The priest nodded beside him.

They were not trying to flatter Maria, but they truly trusted and respected Maria from the bottom of their hearts.

All of this is due to Maria's existence.

But Maria didn't think so.

"I just got back their predictions of their actions, but... these people shouldn't be stupid."

Maria pondered.

During this period, their actions have been regulated.

Because according to the doctor's deciphering, the actions pointed out by the other party are fixed, that is to say, if the sacrifice has not been completed at the previous sacrificial site, the sacrifice cannot be performed in advance at the next site.

If the order is wrong, the entire sacrificial process will be considered a failure.

Then they will have to start from scratch.

Therefore, Maria and others did not chase these enemies by blocking them in one place at once.

They would occasionally attack and kill the enemy without letting the other side notice the problem.

This was also the method Maria came up with, the purpose of which was to make the other party suppress the news that had been exposed.

This method is indeed feasible, but...

"Now that the other side has lost hundreds of people, they still haven't reacted at all, and still send people out for sacrifice from time to time... Isn't this too strange?"

"That being said...it does seem to be a problem."

After hearing Maria's analysis, everyone paused.

Everyone is not a fool. Although they were blinded by Maria's strength before, they thought that everything would go smoothly naturally after Maria appeared.

But now that I think about it, it is indeed true.

just like……

Someone inside them is following their own plan?!

When they thought of this, several people suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

The priest frowned even more, and was far less excited than when he had just brought back the news.

"Then... today."

“…Let’s take action.”

Although the doctor was a little surprised, she quickly calmed down.

Although the enemy is indeed dangerous, but... they are not defenseless!

"Ok?"

The doctor's words attracted the attention of two people present.

When he saw their eyes turned towards him, the doctor smiled.

In my hand, the paper roll sways...

……

"Master?"

In the room, a group of believers, dressed in ashes, stood still, their eyes dazed and flickering with anxiety.

They were almost clear about what had happened during this period, but... it was precisely because they were clear that they acted so panicked.

They don’t understand…

why?

Why did they still send their men to advance their plan even though they knew the enemy had appeared?

"We're already very short on manpower... How about we just lie low for a while?"

In the meeting, the person called the leader did not speak, but the others had already given their thoughts.

If it really doesn't work, why don't they just lie dormant for a while?

If this continues, it will be too dangerous!

But the ideas they came up with were quickly overturned by their own people.

"No, if we stop the ceremony now, we'll have to start all over again next time... This time, it was because of the relocation of the Kazdel Military Council that caused a period of chaos. By the time we want to push the ceremony forward again, who knows when it will be!"

"So you're saying we should just go and die? We've got so many problems with our current manpower! If we continue, our people will all die before the ritual is completed!"

"That's not OK!"

There was a lot of noise and chaos during the ceremony.

The figure of the bishop sat quietly in the highest seat.

He watched all this silently without saying a word.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head slightly and looked towards the door.

"coming……"

He spoke abruptly.

The other believers turned their heads around in confusion, as if they didn't know what was going on.

But soon, the light and shadow made them understand what the bishop was talking about.

“Sulfone——!”

A cold light flashed, and the locked door suddenly opened.

Three figures walked out quietly.

"who are you?!"

There were also believers who didn't understand what was going on and shouted loudly.

But soon, someone noticed the priest next to him...

"It's him! It's them! They're the ones who have been hindering our plans!"

After all, this is Kazdel, and a Lateran is still very conspicuous.

They soon noticed the priest's presence and their faces turned fierce.

Many people are ready to launch attacks.

But the priest did not respond, and Maria simply looked at the man sitting over there.

"Did you do this?"

Maria walked forward slowly, holding a sharp knife.

The black hunting suit clung to her body, and her slightly red eyes showed no emotion at all.

But the bishop just smiled.

"of course."

"……you do this delibrately?"

Maria paused when she saw the other person behave like this.

The other party did not show any surprise at his appearance from beginning to end, which meant that he had already expected him and others to come from the beginning.
