As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

Taking a deep breath, the girl's face emerged from the black hood, illuminated by the moonlight shining down from above.

Under the moonlight, the girl named "Sorrow" took a deep breath, put the mask wrapped around her neck over her face, and hid her appearance in the black veil again. At the same time, she straightened her somewhat disheveled clothes and slowly stood up from under the shade of the tree to the middle of the only road in front of her.

"It wasn't for nothing that I hid here for so long. The Holy Son said before that no one usually passes through this road, except for a group of people who will pass through here at night a few days from now. And the Holy Son's order was... for me to stay here and delay their progress, so as not to let them get close to the capital."

After mentally reconsidering Lius's orders, Xiaoyou slowly exhaled, gripped her wand tightly, and focused her attention on the road ahead, awaiting the "enemies" she would face next.

If you look closely at the wand she's holding tightly in her hand, you can feel the traces of surging magic.

This is magic emanating from within the wand. The capacity isn't very large, but the energy within it is extremely powerful, demonstrating the care and attention the wand maker put into it.

"Holy Son—this is a blessing bestowed upon me by the Holy Son. Both the wand and my body contain magic personally granted by the Holy Son. With this magic, there is nothing I cannot overcome. I hope the Holy Son and the Goddess will bless me and the Church so that we can successfully complete this mission..." With these thoughts, the sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, and finally a group of nuns dressed in church robes rushed out of the woods! With hurried steps, they arrived at the relatively open path and saw a black-robed girl holding a magic wand in the middle of the path.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing Xiaoyou's figure, Rosalind, who was in the lead, paused slightly, then immediately revealed a fierce look in her eyes. She took out her wand from her back and pointed it in Xiaoyou's direction from her horse.

"Get out of the way! Whoever you are, we're in a hurry. If you dare block our path, don't blame us for taking action!" Hmm? This appearance... seems to be that Pope Rosalind.

Upon seeing Rosalind's figure, Xiaoyou was momentarily surprised. Looking behind Rosalind, she could see that the nuns following her had also taken out their wands, gathering surging magical power in front of them and aiming them in Xiaoyou's direction.

Faced with this scene, Xiaoyou swallowed hard, composed herself, and waved her wand at the nuns who had gathered in the distance.

"You are not allowed to pass! This route is blocked. For the sake of His Holiness the Holy Son's plan... you absolutely cannot be allowed to pass!" "His Holiness the Holy Son... are you referring to your leader?"

Hearing Xiaoyou's words, Rosalind's face grew increasingly gloomy, and the wand she gripped tightly in her hand shone with an increasingly intense light, causing powerful bursts of magic bullets to gather around her.

"Since you are so ignorant, don't blame us for being impolite. We were originally going to let you go so we could get on our way, but now it seems we have no choice but to fight!" Rosalind chanted fierce words as the magic bullets around her gathered in a dense cluster, combining with the magic power gathered by the other nuns to completely surround the black-robed girl in the middle of the opposite road.

"Disappear!

At Rosalind's command, countless magic bullets flew towards Xiaoyou. Xiaoyou displayed a maturity and composure beyond her years. After taking a deep breath, she released the magic power from Lius within her body, instantly accelerating her consciousness and physical speed. Through the narrow gaps in the magic bullets, she dodged and weaved through the dense onslaught, displaying remarkable agility.

"Ping Bang Bang" While dodging, the girl also kept waving her wand. The heavy wand in her hand was like a light wing, blocking countless magic bullets in front of her. Some magic bullets were even reflected back by her and landed on the nuns who released magic.

"Ah!" "Ah!"

Shouts erupted from the nuns, some of whom appeared to be burning, screaming and collapsing. They then rose again amidst a burst of green light, panting heavily as they looked toward Rosalind, who had cast healing spells on them.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness..."

"Get back to your positions quickly. This person... is not easy to deal with. Damn it... Why are there so many formidable enemies? Just how many people has that leader they're talking about arranged to block us?"

Watching the black-robed girl darting and weaving through the gaps in the bullet comments, Rosalind spoke with cold sweat dripping down her face, her brows and eyes revealing a hint of anxiety, making the female pope appear particularly troubled.

"I wonder if other places have encountered the same obstacles... I have a feeling that I have fallen into an even bigger predicament without even realizing it."

With this in mind, Rosalind unleashed another barrage of attack spells, leading the nuns behind her to attack Xiaoyou. At the same time, she prayed for the believers in other parts of the kingdom, hoping that everything would develop as she expected... (The last part, "Flexible posture," is a separate, unrelated phrase and doesn't need a direct translation.)

"I wonder if other places in the same realm are facing the same obstacles. I have a feeling that I've somehow fallen into an even bigger predicament... With this thought in mind, Rosalind unleashed another barrage of attack spells, leading the nuns behind her to attack Xiaoyou. At the same time, she prayed for the believers in other parts of the kingdom, hoping that everything would develop as she expected..."

Chapter 305: Girls on Different Battlefields (Part Two)

At this moment, on the other side.

"Keep up! The church has already sent orders for us to head to the capital region immediately to engage in battle. The cultists have fully assembled there, and we absolutely cannot allow them to inflict further damage on the kingdom. Hurry up and follow!"

"Yes, Bishop Helen!"

Accompanied by a firm and solemn voice, a red-haired girl with a loli-like figure sat on a tall horse, carrying a huge sword blade that was different from her size on her shoulder, leading the nuns behind her as they drove along the road and headed towards the main road ahead. If one looked further into the Zhou Kingdom, one could see more figures leading nuns.

These were bishops from different regions, now remotely summoned by Rosalind, constantly traveling along the road to the capital, carrying out their duties as ordered.

"Bishop, there are so many people here this time. All the bishops from other regions have been transferred here. It seems that the cultists' forces are really not to be underestimated this time."

At this moment, beside Bishop Helen, a nun was using binoculars to investigate the densely packed figures in the distance. She then turned to the red-haired girl running around beside her and began to speak.

Helen nodded slightly, then further urged the reins, making the horses' hooves pound even faster. "Giddy up! Giddy up! Faster! We absolutely cannot let those cultists escape! Quickly! Tell the rest of you to pick up the pace too, faster!" "Yes, Your Excellency!"

He nodded vigorously at Helen, and the nun beside him quickly gave orders to the people following behind. Then she looked further at Helen and continued to beckon to her:

“Bishop Helen, you can actually relax a little. The battle ahead is likely to be intense. If you're too tense, something might go wrong. Besides, we have many other colleagues around us. Just looking at it, there are about ten bishops' teams heading to the same road as us. With them cooperating with us, there shouldn't be any problems.”

I know... there are a lot of people gathered now, and even if we encounter any obstacles on the road, we will be able to break through the defenses smoothly. But Helen swallowed slightly, shook her head, and a chill suddenly rose in her heart, causing her to shudder as she swayed on the back of her horse.

"But... for some reason, I always have a bad feeling about this."

"Hmm? An ominous feeling? What are you worried about, Bishop?" Seeing Helen's furrowed brow in thought, the nun beside her tilted her head and asked. "Yes, it feels too quiet on the road... Although we are still some distance from the main road, just looking out from here, the road there is still too quiet. Usually, there are caravans passing by here at night, but tonight there is no movement at all, which is really strange."

"It's probably because Her Holiness the Pope made arrangements beforehand to block off the roads in this area. It shouldn't matter. Even if someone is lying in ambush here, there would only be about ten people at most. Do you think they can stop us all? Bishop Helen, you don't need to worry about it. Relax."

Despite the nun's words of comfort, Helen maintained her furrowed brow, the chill in her heart undiminished. After taking a few deep breaths, she swung the thin rope and quickened her pace, urging herself and her men behind her to cross the silent avenue at top speed.

After a series of rapid hoofbeats, Helen finally led the group behind her to the front of the road. At the same time, the other groups also gathered together, with Helen as the center, in the middle of this wide road.

"The bishops gathered together, tallied their men, and sent people to explore the area ahead. If anything happened, they were to report immediately!" After taking a deep breath, Helen stood in the middle of the bishops and loudly instructed the people around her. Relying on her usual prestige and status in the church, everyone responded. Whether they were nuns or other bishops, they all acted according to Helen's instructions and carried out their respective tasks.

"Alright... Now the people have gathered together. With so many people, I wonder how much our speed will be reduced if we continue on our journey. I hope it won't take too much time." Standing on a high earthen slope, looking at the nuns lined up neatly on the road, Helen clenched her fists, wanting to catch her breath.

However, at that moment, a loud bang rang out, tightening the girl's slightly relaxed nerves once again. "Boom!"

"what!"

A deafening sound came from afar. Helen, along with the nuns who were resting below, jumped and looked in the direction of the sound, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"What...what is that?!"

"How could there be such a monster here?!" "Quick! Prepare for battle... or it will be too late!"

Countless voices echoed from among the nuns, filled with panic and anxiety. Helen, perched on the earthen slope, stared in shock, her eyes wide and her hand trembling slightly as she gripped her wand tightly.

In her gaze, in the distance, the black energy was constantly gathering, echoing across the road.

The black mist was mixed with surging magical power, which condensed in the air and formed a living fortress made of magical power, which appeared in this empty space.

In the very center of the fortress, a black-haired woman dressed as a maid, her face completely covered, stood silently in the middle of the road. By herself, she released a powerful and ever-wrapping magical entity, blocking the path that the cult members were supposed to take.

"How could this be... What is this! A monster? But how can it have such strong magic? Is that a fortress? Why does it look like it has life? And who is that at the very front of the fortress? Could it be an enemy?"

With this thought in mind, Helen's gaze grew increasingly shocked. She looked again at the black-haired maid in the farthest distance, only to see the voluptuous black-haired woman slowly raise her hand and, in a gentle yet emotionless tone, concentrate her magic into her words, transmitting them to the ears of every nun:

"I am... a demon tamer from the church. I am here to stop you all. I hope you will not cause any trouble. Otherwise, I will take drastic measures against you by force, as my master has instructed. Please be aware of this."

Speaks calmly, the black-haired maid, who is actually Olivia in disguise, gently extends her arm, as if inviting or blocking the crowd, towards the direction where the nuns are gathered. Her words carry a calm yet undisguised hostility, firmly grasping everyone's thoughts.

Chapter 306: Girls on Different Battlefields (Part 3)

"What! You're a cult member?" Hearing the voices around her, Helen's eyes widened first, then filled with hostility. "Sure enough... these cult members won't just sit here and wait to die. They'll definitely have ambushes along the way, and they might have even attacked the capital just to lure us here."

"What should we do, Bishop Helen? Should we force our way through?"

Looking towards the ever-expanding, enormous figure in the distance, at that black fortress that resembled a living entity, the nun beside her asked tremblingly, while Helen clenched her fists, picked up her greatsword and wand together, and pressed them forcefully onto the ground.

"broken!"

With a soft thud as dust rose, the wand and sword stood upright on the ground, creating a defensive barrier in front of the nuns. Helen exhaled slowly and gestured to her companions to refrain from making any rash moves.

"Let's wait a moment and observe the situation. Since this group of cultists dared to send someone like this to obstruct us, it means they have full confidence in us. If we act rashly, we may very well fall into their trap."

"Trap swallowed hard, feeling the gentle breeze blowing around her. The nun's face grew increasingly panicked. Helen gestured again, signaling the people around her to set up camp there. She then gathered a small group of nuns and pointed into the distance."

“Go investigate there, but don’t get too close. Do not launch an attack unless absolutely necessary. Record the appearance of the person standing in front of the shadowy figure in the distance and report back to me.”

"Yes, Bishop Helen!"

The nuns around Helen nodded in affirmation and went to do their work as instructed, while Helen remained on the earthen slope, carefully observing the massive fortress in the distance under the influence of magic.

In the silence, a sense of foreboding arose once again in the girl's heart.

Especially when observing the black-haired maid standing motionless in front of the shadow, she felt inexplicably uneasy, causing her fists to clench tightly at both sides of her body.

After some time, the nuns who had been sent out gradually returned, bringing back the information Helen wanted. They told her breathlessly, "Bishop Helen... we saw it from a distance. The person was masked, so we couldn't see her face clearly. We also never encountered any magic power within her. But one thing is certain... that what she was controlling was indeed a very large monster that could move freely and transform into various shapes. When we approached, magical bullets resembling sword blades appeared on it, aiming at us."

"It really is a demon... I've never seen such a massive demon before. I never imagined the cultists' strength had reached this level. It's truly worrying." Bishop Helen, what should we do next? Force a breakthrough? Or... find someone to take a detour from here, to find a narrower path to the capital? The nun asked.

"If we have to take a detour... how long do you expect it to take?" Helen continued to ask the nuns.

“Let’s think about it… If we don’t take the main road, the distance to the capital from here will be at least three times longer. In addition, the small roads are inconvenient to travel on. If we really try to travel, it will probably take several times longer than before.”

It will take several times longer... In that case, we will definitely not be able to provide assistance to the capital... Damn it, is this her plan for staying here? To delay us so that the cultists in the capital can move freely... Damn it.

As Helen pondered these matters, her expression grew increasingly somber, and the unease within her intensified, threatening to consume her entire being. The young bishop, with a serious expression, considered his next course of action.

Meanwhile, in the distance, ahead of the shadowy figures, Olivia, dressed in a maid's outfit and wearing a veil, noticed the nuns' current state and nodded slightly to herself. She then took out a small communication stone from her bosom, placed it before her delicate lips, and gently exhaled soft breaths.

“Master, my task is complete. This place can be safely guarded, so you need not worry.” “Is that so? That’s good. Thank you, Olivia.”

"Olivia will obey any orders given by Master. Please go ahead and do what you need to do. There is no need to worry too much about this place."

As the black-haired maid spoke these calm yet respectful words, a crimson light flashed in her eyes. After a brief glint, it illuminated the shadows behind her, casting a red glow over the massive, pitch-black fortress, adding a touch of sinister and mysterious danger.

Bathed in light, Olivia finished her conversation with Lius, then put the communication stone back into her pocket. She continued to gaze intently at the crowd in the distance, her eyes filled with unwavering determination as she guarded the place she was meant to protect. Meanwhile, on the other side, at Lius's mansion...

"Alright, Olivia has confirmed that the nuns there have been hindered and will not take any overly aggressive actions for the time being. Now it's time for us to hurry over there and finish up this whole matter."

Levi put the communication stone into his pocket, then looked at the black-haired young woman beside him and gently beckoned to her, signaling Annie to follow behind him.

"Let's go, Aunt Annie. The teleportation array is ready; we can set off anytime." "This... Xiao Li, when did you build all this...?"

Standing in front of the hot spring on the back mountain, they watched as Lius opened a hidden door from the side, revealing a path leading underground.

Inside the basement, a teleportation array could be seen flashing with light, constantly blinking in their eyes. The teleportation array led to the kingdom's capital.

"This teleportation array was set up a long time ago. Princess Noelle said she wanted to see me, so she forcibly sent people to set up this teleportation array here. Now it's just right to use it."

As Lius spoke, he beckoned to the black-haired woman behind him again. At the same time, Lia stood beside Lius, holding a sword blade that gleamed with silver light, and looked at him with a serious expression.

"Commander K, Lia is ready and can depart at any time." "Well then, let's get going."

Lius nodded to the white-haired girl beside him, then led the two beauties into the basement, and with the help of the teleportation portal, they hurried towards the main capital.

Chapter 307: Role Playing (Part 1)

A gentle breeze rustled by, and Annie lowered her eyes slightly, sensing that the surrounding scenery had changed.

She had used the teleportation array countless times before, but never before had it been so upside down and flipped over, as if she had been thrown into a blender. She couldn't control her entire body at all, and only her tightly clenched hand gave Annie a sense of security.

Aunt Anne, hang in there, we'll be there soon... Hmm, the teleportation array Noelle made is really crude; we'll definitely have to improve it once things stabilize...

The boy's voice echoed in the young woman's ears, gradually calming the panic in Annie's heart. Her originally weak and powerless steps now seemed to be floating in the clouds. After a dreamlike yet soft touch, she stepped onto the hard ground, and her body gradually emerged into reality in a light blue glow.

After regaining her senses, Annie rubbed her eyes again, panting heavily. She turned to look at where she was and saw that Lius was also holding her left hand tightly, gently pulling it out of the flashing teleportation array.

"Relax, Aunt Annie. We've successfully reached the capital. You don't need to be as tense as before. Also, watch your step. The terrain here isn't very flat, and you might fall if you wander off. Let me guide you."

Annie took another look at her surroundings and found that it was pitch black, with only the light of the teleportation array constantly flashing. Lia, who was next to her, also slowly walked out while feeling dizzy. She also had a curious look in her eyes and was like a lively little kitten, patrolling around the scene.

"Wow, this place is so dark... Brother, do you need a light? Lia can use her light magic to illuminate the path, should you cast it now?"

"No need, I know this place very well. I remember the terrain and everything. Just follow me. You don't need to do anything else, Leah. If you mess this place up... it will be a lot of trouble to clean it up later."

"Huh? Messed up? Was this place arranged in advance?"

Listening to Lius's explanation, Lia tilted her head slightly, while Lius finally found the blessing he needed. After groping around on the wall for a while, he finally snapped his fingers on a candlestick that resembled a wall lamp. "Bang!"

With a crisp sound, a burst of light appeared, illuminating the entire room and bringing the two people who were originally in the center of the room to their senses.

"? Where is this?" After looking around, Leah and Annie both looked around in surprise, seemingly quite astonished by their current location.

What they saw was a room located underground, with thick and solid walls.

The room is furnished with furniture such as a bed, sofa, and dressing table, as well as some tableware and tea sets, all decorated with various exquisite patterns. It looks beautiful and dignified, and also carries a pure and innocent quality belonging to a young girl. At a glance, you can tell that this is the room of a beautiful young girl.

While it was quite unexpected to find such an exquisite room in a basement, what surprised Anne and Leah even more were the various "small decorations" interspersed and displayed among the picture frames, desks, and books in the room.
