Several meters behind the West German throne, a floor-to-ceiling window was blocked by thick curtains like a waterfall, making it almost impossible for outside light to penetrate. Only occasionally, through gaps, could one see the clouds and silhouettes of buildings in the distance. {Write here I hope readers remember our domain name}

In this space that was as opulent as a private art gallery, she gazed at Lance who stood afar.

"I, Sigrid the Mighty of the Church of Heaven's Blade."

West Germany calmly uttered those words.

"…"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Although Ranch's expression didn't change, his hesitation gave away that he was also a little flustered.

It wasn't because he was taken aback by his first encounter with the cardinal of the Resurgence Church.

But he couldn't understand the way this woman's mind worked.

Could the cardinal also be undercover in the Nihilism branch

The Extinction branch really didn't expect the Heaven Catholic Church to play like this!

But Lanchi has no right to judge the domineering nature of Catholic Church, because he did the same thing, and it was only by chance that their actions collided, resulting in the current situation.

"Now, that is the state of the Empire. Within Protoss territory, intelligence reigns supreme."

Sigrid, like the Patriarch's overlord of the West, seemed to see Lanchi's confusion and waved her right hand dismissively,

Instead of taking the risk of having infiltrators from the Annihilation Branch mixed in with our recruits, I'd rather go to the Annihilation Branch myself and handpick their best talents.

What she wants, she never steals. She always takes it by force.

"So you're not planning to continue infiltrating the higher ranks of the Silent Branch and causing chaos"

Lanche asked with a hint of confusion.

"That's the kind of sneaky thing that lowlife would do, I wouldn't."

Siegfried seemed to recall the ceaseless activities of the Annihilation Branch, and clicked his tongue in disdain.

Now that her goal was achieved, she no longer intended to use that West German identity.

Lan Qi was taken aback upon hearing this.

He thought the Catholic Church was playing a big game.

It turned out her motives seemed simpler than she thought.

He just wants to recruit the head of the annihilation branch.

Then he personally recruited Ranch's boss.

At a time when Ranch still seemed calm, his shadow had already begun to tremble.

"……"!

Even at this distance, the cat owner was terrified by the sight of Guang and the Heavenly Church.

It had never seen a high-ranking figure from the Resurrection Church in its lifetime, yet here before it stood such a terrifyingly destructive being!

That is a fear born from the depths of the soul, an overwhelming dread of the powerful forces beyond our comprehension that we cannot escape.

Under such pressure, it could only tremble helplessly, hoping that the being on the throne, more terrifying than the legendary eight-tiered dragon, wouldn't notice it and give it a chance to survive.

"Your shadow is trembling."

Siegfried was very patient with Lancelot, and didn't mind his silence. She stared at his shadow and muttered to herself.

Immediately, Lynch's shadow seemed to tremble with fright and twisted even more violently.

"I have no interest in harming such feeble creatures, unless you challenge me, little one."

Her eyes were as if they could see through shadows to the cat boss, even across space, nothing could escape her gaze.

…"!! "

After she finished speaking, the cat boss hesitated for a moment.

The little black cat, its fur standing on end, finally emerged from the shadows and clambered onto Lance's body. It curled up tightly, its entire being consumed by icy fear.

At this time, it could only feel a sense of security when it was in Ranchi's hands.

It only hoped that, in the face of this terrifying creature, it could survive, small and insignificant.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here.

Lance gently hugged the cat boss and patted it lightly to reassure it.

"So, Bishop-sama was impressed by my performance in the Silent Path assessment"

Lanche raised his head again and bowed to Sieglinde once more, asking respectfully.

He's not entirely sure right now if it was the transformation of the Southwest Province or the assessment by the Extinction Branch that brought the Celestial Church after him.

In the southwest province, besides the silver-armored cleric whom he first met on Lord Francis's ship, no other clerics, as both messengers and conduits, had ever seen his true face, let alone touched his physical form.

And Lanche's education should have been quite thorough; he hadn't been in the Imperial City of Helrom for long.

Even if the Pope personally went to the Southwest Province to investigate, it shouldn't be this quick to find out the Silver Armored Priest and then discover the Pioneer's true identity from him.

"Yes, although I don't know your performance in the first round of assessment, and your second-round performance was only average, I really liked your performance in the final assessment."

Sigrid raised her hand and pointed at Lance.

You're very good, I want you to be my subordinate soldier.

"……"

This puts Ranch in a bit of a predicament.

Back then, it seemed like no one on Ikka was this optimistic about him.

Instead, it was the Northern Continent that caught the eye of a cardinal.

Although the Overlord faction did show him a great deal of respect, and offered significantly better terms than the Annihilation branch - even if he had asked to view the stone tablets, she likely wouldn't have made things difficult for him.

But the problem is, he doesn't want to observe [Primal Slate - Foundation] at all. He wants to see [Primal Slate - Seal]!

And since he formally chose the Heavenly Church's camp, and was still at the rank of soldier, there was no way for him to continue mixing with the Extinction Branch.

"If I join, will I be able to continue lurking in the Extinction branch"

Lan Chi asked.

"You're quite the shrewd one, aren't you Trying to have it both ways"

Sieglinde gazed into Ranchi's emerald green eyes and smiled, as if she could read his mind.

But wouldn't it be more beneficial for you if I caused chaos within the Extinction branch

Rancière explained.

It seems that the only thing domineering about Catholicism is its desire for control.

I said I don't like doing this kind of thing, my subordinates should stay by my side and follow my orders.

When the High Priest heard Lance's second question, his expression showed a clear sign of impatience.

“You’re going to get yourself killed if you try that in the Extinction branch with those thoughts. You’re smart enough to know what the Extinction Patriarch is like, aren’t you Here, with me, as long as you remain loyal, I won't punish you and will even use my power to protect you.”

Lanche gazed at the domineering Siegfried, not fearing for his own life that hung in the balance, but calmly considering his options.

"Promise her, meow... Promise me, meow..."

"Every place is the same… Obviously, it's much better here meow…"

Lan Qi, in the arms of a cat boss, trembled and muttered desperately in a low voice.

It no longer cared whether Ranch joined the Resurrection Church or not, fearing that Ranch might refuse to join the Heavenly Father's Church out of despair!

The moment he answered no, the two of them were probably going to end right there!

(The End)
