Under the eaves, Gloria supported herself with one hand on the dark brown lacquered wood of the doorframe. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Come in."

She maintained the aloofness of an elder sister, casually letting the two enter.

After closing the door, Gloriana hurried to Sigrid's side with some anxiety, her tearful eyes as if she had missed her for a long time.

Such skillful disguises make Lance think that Sigrid really knows what she's doing.

"Bishop, are you alright"

"It's not good, but Askshan is also suffering."

Sigrid replied briefly that she had not concealed anything from Gloria. As a descendant of warriors, Gloria should be well aware of her current state of qi.

Gloria looked at Sigrid and the child in surprise.

Although the bishop hadn't given her a detailed account of where they had been for the past month, even these few words were incredibly revealing to her.

In the living room, Gloria invited Sigrid and Lance to sit on the sofa, while she stood beside them like a servant.

Siegfried gracefully settled onto the sofa, her posture radiating as always a languid dominance. Lanche, naturally, took the other side of the same sofa.

This made Gloria just about to speak, and then suddenly stopped.

Although no saint or handmaiden under a cardinal had ever been so brazen as to sit on an equal footing with a bishop, Glorìa found herself as a student that she should not teach the headmaster.

Afterward, Gloria, with the decorum expected of a proper handmaiden, drew down the heavy dark drapes of the living room. When she returned, her eyes betrayed a growing anxiety and worry.

"My Lord Bishop, you have finally returned."

The spacious living room became a private space for the three to communicate. The soundproofing magic device isolated them from the outside noise, providing a quiet backdrop for the conversation about to take place.

What's wrong

Sigrid frowned in confusion. It was true that she and the Holy Child had been gone for a while, but the Imperial City didn't seem to be in much trouble at present.

> A great many things happened in the month or so after you left, to the south of Protos.

Gloria sat on the other side of the sofa, her face clearly not looking good.

You have been indicted by the Imperial Army. They suspect you of orchestrating a large-scale massacre in the north and brutally murdering many Imperial citizens during your flight.

Gloria also retrieved from beneath the table a summary of information and intelligence she had gathered during her recent days at the Overlord branch.

Besides various pieces of evidence from investigations and the obvious traces of violent clashes with Heaven's Holy Church found in the northern provinces, there are also some lingering remnants of video crystals.

From these images, it seems like the Hegemon Church is destroying the town and massacring its residents, while the Bishop of Extinction is valiantly defending and protecting it.

>

Gloria paled and added.

The feud between the Domination Church and the Annihilation Church is well-known, but this was their first time waging war so openly within an Imperial city.

Since the northern border was where the Asksang were stationed, it must have been Sieglinde who approached them first, thus starting this war.

And the Ba Tian branch in each department of the Protoss Empire is already in a difficult situation.

The reputation of the Revival Church is already bad, and if this opportunity could be used to accuse the Revival Church, many imperial officials and nobles would not let it pass.

As the saying goes, "When a wall crumbles, everyone pushes it down." Once a crack is opened, even the enemies of your enemies will swarm in.

The Southern branch of the Batian sect, which had finally gained some recognition, was once again facing unprecedented ostracism, even with a growing sentiment to expel them. Meanwhile, the Batian sect followers had already adopted a path of shared prosperity with the residents and could no longer resort to aggressive tactics against them.

Losing trust is the most fatal thing for their kind of development direction.

"Asksan..."

Siegfried looked through the news reports day after day, his expression growing increasingly stern.

As soon as the battle was over, Asksang probably contacted the Imperial City immediately, beginning to distort the truth and block all her paths. He even wanted to completely erase the existence of the Batten Branch.

If she and the Holy Son were captured by the Extinction Branch in the north, the next step would be that Askshan would probably dispatch all of his main forces south to hunt down the priests of the Hegemon Branch.

There are many dissident branches or other factions who disguise themselves as our priests to intentionally harm residents, and some even disguise themselves as residents to deliberately incite conflicts. As a result, many places have been affected, allowing them to seize this opportunity to constantly smear the priests of our Batian branch, even causing losses among our comrades.

Gloria's expression was a mixture of anger and bitterness, but she could only helplessly say.

Although the reality for the Empire is still being assessed, for its inhabitants, public opinion is all that matters.

With the annihilation branch fanning the flames, the pressure has come crashing down like a tsunami.

Even though it was clear that this was a public opinion war and the Extinction Branch was plotting something big, not even the target, Patriarch Dominator, was present. The priests of the Dominator Branch struggled to counterattack and could only try their best to avoid making things worse, hoping that Patriarch Dominator would return soon.

Gloria knew that the bishop wouldn't have been slaughtering innocents in the city-state on a whim alongside Ascan, but now things had become this way. Even if the truth was Ascan's scheme, they would be left speechless and unable to defend themselves.

Sieglinde set down the paper in her hand, and the tranquility in her eyes seemed to be an unprecedented rage. The killing intent emanating from her body even made Gloria beside her feel a chill.

Even though the bishop's current aura might not be as strong as hers, there's a fortitude forged through countless trials in her spirit that makes her appear like a little girl before him.

"Don't worry, West Germany. I'm here."

Lancelot's gentle voice seeped into Sigrid's frantic thoughts.

She stared at Lance in disbelief, the murderous intent on her body instantly vanishing.

Lan Qi's expression remained as calm as ever, and she nodded at her, causing her to unconsciously feel a sudden sense of reassurance.

Those steady emerald eyes gave her an incredibly reliable feeling, making her think that as long as this man was around, he could solve any trouble.

If Asksang felt that the advantage was on his side now, wouldn't that be even better

Lanche leaned against the sofa, smiling naturally, as if they were rushing towards each other with Asksang.

"Aren't you afraid that Asksun won't dare to come to the Imperial Capital for the election a week later"

Sigrid looked at him, squinting her eyes.

In the previous battle where the north suffered three consecutive defeats, neither Askshan the Obliterator nor The Robed One had been able to discern the true identity of Heaven's Sovereign.

While, according to common sense, the resurrected children of the Church shouldn't be figures seen in broad daylight. Their true social identities wouldn't be too ostentatious, so they couldn't have much influence in the Empire.

This place was originally intended to be an absolutely neutral ground, not leaning towards any branch of nihilism, tyranny, or mourning.

Khasang had something he never dreamed of happening—

This tyrannical saint son, is the most talked-about person in Helrom today, Rocky Macassi.
