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

On the side, the priest spoke again, responding to Theresa's question.

After hearing the news, Theresa's eyes became serious.

She folded her hands slightly and glanced at the people present.

I realized the problem with this news right away.

Maria...had lived in the Lateran?

This news is so... subtle.

You know, the relationship between the Sarkaz and the Laterans is obvious to all Terra.

In this land full of disputes, they are the only couple that can be said to have a complete thousand-year blood feud.

And now, the temporary wartime commander, who is extremely prestigious in the entire Sarkaz world, actually had traces of living in Lateran...

"If you think about it seriously, this question is actually nothing. Maria can be anywhere. It's her freedom. It's just..."

Theresa hesitated, looking at the people in front of her.

After seeing that no one wanted to speak, he turned to look at the priest beside him.

"...Does anyone else know this news?"

"No."

"That's good."

After receiving the priest's shake of his head, Theresa also let out a long sigh.

"Right now, the sentiment of revenge within Sakaz is extremely high. Even we have only temporarily suppressed it."

"If they knew that Maria might have a relationship with Lateran, no one knows what the consequences would be."

On the bright side, no one actually cares, so everything is fine.

But to put it in a bad way, there will always be a group of people who will be extremely radical.

By then, no one can tell what the consequences will be.

Theresa said, her eyes thoughtful.

Meanwhile, the scavenger raised his head slightly.

"Your Highness, what do you intend to do?"

"...This information should be blocked for the time being. No one should reveal too much at this time... The most important thing we should do now is to ensure the stability of the Sarkaz situation."

Theresa said this with a serious look.

"The Sarkaz are in ruins right now, and we can't waste too much time irritating everyone... What we need to do now is to transform the Sarkaz, at least to make them self-sufficient when there are no natural disasters."

"..."

Niezlei did not reply and fell into silence.

"What's wrong?"

Theresa turned her head in confusion.

But Niezilei just continued to speak.

"That's not the question I want to ask you..."

"Ok?"

"Your Highness, how do you plan to...deal with our relationship with Rutland?"

Niezilei spoke and said what he really cared about.

He knew that his Highness hoped that Kazdel would slow down and develop the economy and people's livelihood... He did not deny this.

No matter how powerful and ferocious the Sarkaz are, they have their limits.

They need rest.

But the question is, how should they deal with their relationship with Rutland?

"I heard that Lateran has recently developed a brand new type of weapon... This weapon can make its Papal Knights several times more powerful than before... And Lateran has never been at war with other countries."

Niezrei said this with a hint of meaning in his words.

Theresa's expression changed slightly.

She turned her head and looked at the priest beside her.

And the priest did not hide it.

"Although I didn't get much news this time, I did see that some people were equipped with a new type of gunpowder that I had never seen before..."

"This……"

After receiving a positive answer from the priest, Theresa's expression changed slightly.

On the side, Niecilei also spoke.

"Thanks to that person's help, most of the manpower within the Sarkaz has been preserved... In a short period of time, we can prepare at least a hundred thousand Sarkaz troops..."

The war never really stopped, and the Sarkaz had only one advantage.

That is, as long as a person is alive, he or she can be called a soldier to some extent.

This is also a kind of black humor.

If they gather together and train, they can prepare an army of at least 100,000.

The Sarkaz are powerful in themselves, and the four most powerful countries around them - Victoria, Ursus, Lethania, and Gaul - have all suffered varying degrees of combat power shortages due to excessive losses.

Many Sarkaz people have begun to look forward to the subsequent counterattack.

Under this situation, even if the production capacity of these four countries increased, it would be difficult to organize the oppressive feeling of the initial attack by the 400,000-strong coalition forces and various steel behemoths in a short period of time.

And why did they launch such a strong attack?

Isn't it because they are afraid that the Sarkaz will show their terrifying group combat capabilities after catching their breath?

At this time, they must act independently.

As long as Kazdel himself launches the attack.

Not to mention taking down all four companies, at least they can take down two or even three of them.

The supplies obtained by then will definitely be enough for the Sarkaz to carry out transformation.

Of course, these are just ordinary people's thoughts.

Theresa would never allow such a thing to happen.

On the one hand, attacking at this time will only damage precious labor... No matter how brave and good the Sarkaz are, there will be casualties in the end.

Moreover, war takes time, manpower and material resources... This will inevitably delay the construction of infrastructure in the rear of Kazdel.

On the other hand... once they get used to plundering wealth and supplies through war, Theresa is really worried about whether the Sarkaz can get used to normal order in the future.

The lifespan of the Sarkaz is very long, and the changes made by one generation could have an impact for hundreds of years...

But now that the Lateran issue has been raised, it is impossible to just ignore it.

"so……"

Theresa raised her head, looked at the silent priest in front of her, and then looked at the other people in the group.

After a moment's pause, she took a deep breath and made her choice.

"Can you help us pass on a message?"

"…at your pleasure, ma'am."

The priest nodded slightly, his eyes calm.

……

In Lateran, a piece of news quickly began to spread among the top leaders.

The speed is simply astonishing.

But it's not surprising if you know the reason.

The reason was that Sakazne suddenly conveyed a message to them.

It's not a declaration of war, nor a declaration... but...

access!

The Demon Lord of Sarkaz is going to visit Lateran!

When this news reached the ears of everyone involved in the meeting, they all subconsciously denied it.

what? !

After asking again and getting the exact result, everyone's faces became solemn.

And in the meeting that was underway, almost all people expressed their denial!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could the Sarkaz pass on this news? There must be something wrong!"

Many people expressed their denial radically. Even if the news really came from the Sarkaz, they were unwilling to believe that it was an expression of goodwill.

More people think there might be some conspiracy.

But at this time, Raynay stood up.

Her keen sense of smell made her realize that this might be an unprecedented opportunity!

"Why deny it?"

She took a deep breath and spoke in front of everyone.

When everyone was surprised, she clenched her fists.

"Because they are Sarkaz!"

Soon, someone gave an answer.

Rayna turned her head and looked.

It's an angel...

A man with glasses and orange braids.

Cardinal Vlad.

"The Sarkaz are by nature the opposite of Lateran... They don't understand etiquette or peace. War is a base instinct etched into their genes."

Vlad spoke, his radical words sounding a bit sharp to Rayna's ears at this moment.

But obviously, many others who have never come into contact with the Sarkaz and only know about them from the stereotypes in books deeply agree with this.

And Rayna took a deep breath, her eyes solemn.

"and then?"

"Forehead……"

Vlad paused for a moment.

Obviously, he didn't expect Raynay to answer like this...

Then?

Then what?

Then you can't have contact with such people, right?

So what Rayna is saying now is...

"We are not facing the Sarkaz, Cardinal Vlad..."

Rayna took a deep breath and looked at the other person silently.

"We are facing a nation that has been at war for a thousand years, a nation with a history as long as Lateran, a nation that has been fighting with us since our ancestors... For a thousand years, we have killed them, and they have killed us, in a ruthless war..."

"Do you want this kind of fighting to continue for another thousand years?"

Rayna spoke, her tone firm, not backing down from her stance.

Vlad was not to be outdone and responded immediately.
