Chapter 367 Sigrid's Sense of Security
Under the eaves, Gloria held on to the dark brown lacquered wood door frame with one hand.
"come in."
She maintained her coolness as a senior and casually let the two of them in.
After closing the door, Gloria quickly ran to Sigrid's side with a little worry, her tearful eyes seemed to have missed her for a long time.
Such a skillful change of expression made Lan Qi feel that he was worthy of being brought up by Sigrid.
"My Lord Bishop, are you okay?"
"It's not good, but Askosan also suffered a lot."
Sigrid responded briefly that she had not hidden anything from Gloria. As a warrior of the same lineage, Gloria should be very aware of her current aura state.
Gloria looked at Sigrid and the Son in surprise.
Although the bishop has not told her in detail where they have been for more than a month, the amount of information alone is overwhelming to her.
Arriving in the living room, Gloria invited Sigrid and Lanci to sit on the sofa, while she stood aside like an attendant.
Sigrid sat down on the sofa elegantly, maintaining her usual lazy and domineering posture, while Lanqi naturally sat on the other side of the sofa with her.
This made Gloria want to say something, but she suddenly stopped.
Although there has never been a cardinal's son or saint who can be so arrogant as an equal to the bishop, Gloria found that as a student, she should not teach the principal how to do things.
Afterwards, Gloria used the proper etiquette of a follower to draw down the thick dark floor-to-ceiling curtains in the living room. When she came back, her eyes could not hide her anxiety and worry.
"My Lord Bishop, you are finally back."
The spacious living room has become a private space for three people to communicate. The soundproof magic guide blocks the noise of the outside world and provides a quiet background for the upcoming conversation.
"What's wrong?"
Sigrid asked with a confused frown. She and the Son had indeed been away for a long time, but the Imperial Capital didn't seem to have much of a problem at the moment.
"In the more than a month since you left, many changes have occurred south of Protos."
Gloria sat on the sofa on the other side, her face obviously not looking good.
"You have been prosecuted by the imperial military. They suspect that you carried out a large-scale massacre in the north and brutally killed many imperial residents while fleeing."
Gloria also took out a summary of the information and intelligence she had collected in the Tyrant branch from the compartment under the coffee table.
In addition to various investigative evidence and the obvious traces of the battle of the Catholic Church in the northern provinces, there are also some afterimages of video crystals.
Judging from these pictures, it seems that the Overlord Catholic Church is destroying the town and killing the residents indiscriminately, while the Nirvana Bishop is struggling to defend and protect the town.
"Now there is various evidence to prove that you, the Overlord Catholic Church, went to the northern border province, found Asksan in the city-state, and carried out a series of battles that ignored the safety of the residents and could be called massacres."
Gloria added palely.
Many people are aware of the grudges between the Overlord Catholic Church and the Nirvana Bishop, but this is the first time they have fought so wantonly in a city-state of the empire.
Since the northern border front is where Askosan is stationed, Sigrid must have taken the initiative to find it and start the war.
The Tyrant branch is already in dire straits in all branches of the Protos Empire.
The reputation of the Church of Resurrection is already bad. If they can take this opportunity to denounce the Church of Resurrection, many high-ranking officials and nobles of the empire will not let it go.
As the saying goes, if a wall falls, everyone will push it. Once a hole is opened, the enemies of the enemy will rush forward.
Some of the Batian branch priests who had finally been recognized in the south were once again squeezed out like never before, and there was even a gradual intention to expel them. However, the Batian branch priests, who had already embarked on the path of common prosperity with the residents, were no longer able to Then use a tough stance on residents.
Losing trust is the most fatal to their development direction.
"Askesan..."
Sigrid's face gradually turned cold as she looked through various news reports from this period of time.
Askesan probably directly contacted the Imperial Capital immediately after the battle, and began to confuse right and wrong, blocking all her paths, and even wanted to completely eliminate the existence of the Tyrant branch.
If she and the Holy Son were successfully captured by the Nirvana branch in the north, Askesan would probably send all his main force to the south to hunt down the priests of the Tyrant branch in the next step.
"There are also many guys from the Nirvana branch or other forces who pretend to be our priests and deliberately harm the residents. There are also people who pretend to be residents and deliberately lead the rhythm to cause conflicts. In short, many places have been tricked. Let them seize this opportunity to continue The priests who discredited our Tyrant branch even lost many of their colleagues."
Gloria's expression was angry and bitter, but she could only say helplessly.
Although for the empire, the authenticity has yet to be judged and considered, it is not necessary for the residents of the empire. Public opinion is everything they see.
Being fueled by the Nirvana branch, the pressure has already hit us like a torrent and a tsunami.
They clearly knew that this was a war of public opinion and that it was the Nirvana branch that was planning everything, but even the Hegemon Catholic Church who was being targeted was not around. The priests of the Overlord branch were even more difficult to fight back. They could only try not to make the situation worse. Pray that the Catholic Church will come back soon.
Gloria knew that the bishop would not kill innocent people in the city-state with Asksan because of impulse, but now it has become this situation. Even if the truth is Asksan's conspiracy, they can't argue.
Sigrid put down the paper in her hand. The calmness in her eyes seemed to be unprecedented anger. The murderous intent on her body made Gloria beside her feel terrified.
Even though the bishop's aura is obviously not as strong as hers now, she will always be like a little girl in front of him with his tempered spiritual will.
"Don't worry, Sid, I'm here."
Lanqi's gentle voice immersed in Sigrid's manic thoughts.
She looked at Lanqi in astonishment, and the murderous aura on her body dissipated instantly.
Lanqi's face was still as peaceful as always, and he nodded to her, which made her unconsciously feel relieved all of a sudden.
Those calm emerald green eyes would give people an extremely reliable feeling, making her feel that as long as this man is there, all troubles can be solved for her.
"If Asksan feels that he has the advantage now, wouldn't it be great?"
Lanqi leaned on the sofa, smiling naturally, as if he and Asksan were running in both directions.
"...Are you afraid that Asksan will not dare to come to the imperial capital to participate in the election in a week?"
Sigrid looked at him and narrowed her eyes.
In the previous battle in the north where all three sides suffered losses, neither Bishop Asksan of Destruction nor the black-robed man could see the true identity of the Son of Tyrant.
And according to common sense, the sons and daughters of the Resurrection Church were not seen in the light not long ago, and their real social identities would not be too ostentatious, so they could not bring much influence to the empire.
Originally, this place should be an absolutely neutral place that would not lean towards any branch of Destruction, Tyrant, and Mourning.
But Asksan had something he never dreamed of-
This Son of Tyrant is the most talked-about person in Helrom now, Rocky McCarthy.
