Chapter 582 Wrath of a Coward(5/6)
Some of them were wearing linen clothes and were thick and tall, some were sallow and skinny, and some were blindfolded and needed help from others.
No matter how you look at them, they all look like peasant women or refugees, and have nothing to do with the Sisters of Silence.
The strong woman at the head took a step forward and said to Catherine:
"Your Majesty the Queen, I am Arale, the member representative of the Sisters of Silence.
Before meeting, please allow me to introduce myself.
We, the Sisters of Silence, are an organization spread across Erathia, secretly founded by Her Majesty Adela.
We are primarily responsible for delivering women's babies, prophesying, and organizing funerals, often as midwives, prophets and seers, embalmers, and undertakers.
On the periphery of our organization, members are very loosely distributed, mainly those who believe in angels.
But the core of our organization all believe in Mother Goddess Asa."
Catherine smiled slightly and asked:
"Do you have a token?"
Li Xiaobai raised his hand and said:
"Ah, the boss said that he arranged it, so there is no need to worry about fraud."
Catherine glanced at Li Xiaobai and said to Arale:
"Welcome. Please continue."
Arale nodded and then said:
"Like Roland, the lords of Roland are only interested in collecting taxes and plundering money.
Their tentacles and control can barely control the villages surrounding Roland's acropolis.
We received the order very early and used the abandoned mine to mine a tunnel, which allowed us to directly skip the heavily defended Karl's Territory and reach the [Mosaic Leaf Territory].
Her Majesty the Queen, you and your troops can use the tunnel we left to reach the Flowery Leaf Territory.
After you arrive in the Roland Territory, we will also arrange for personnel to escort you on the country roads throughout the Roland Territory.
In this way, Your Majesty and Your Majesty's troops can avoid the obstruction and reconnaissance of Lord Roland and intercept King Griffin's undead silently."
Catherine noticed something was wrong as she listened. She pretended not to ask:
"I received an order very early to mine a tunnel using an abandoned mine?
Kalben territory has a vast territory and many mountainous areas. Is it so easy to mine tunnels?
How early does this mean?"
"About two months ago?"
"Two months ago?"
Catherine frowned:
"Two months ago, I was still fighting a holy war in Over. Before my father's remains were stolen, you received the order to use the abandoned mines from the Mosaic Leaf Territory to penetrate the underground of Karl's Territory?
What? Can the seven pigeons predict the future?
Or is it that he planned even the theft of my father's remains?"
Arale lowered her head:
"We received orders from Her Majesty the Holy Lady.
As for the reason for the order, we have no idea."
Catherine remained silent and just stared at Li Xiaobai without saying a word, putting tremendous pressure on Li Xiaobai.
Li Xiaobai trembled twice and said:
"I'll ask the boss right away!"
After a while, Catherine took out a conch.
She pressed the conch to her ear and heard the seven doves in the conch say:
"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry.
That tunnel was originally intended to serve the more ambitious Blue Sky Plan.
What happened to you this time was just a coincidence."
Catherine pretended to be angry:
"Qi Ge, what is your plan?
If you still regard me as an ally, tell me your overall plan quickly.
Do you find it interesting to manipulate me like a puppet step by step like this?"
"Your Majesty, you have wronged me.
The current situation in Erathia is intricate and complex.
To this day, I still haven’t figured out the main purpose of Ronis and Roland. I can only take it one step at a time, and try to find out what the plans are.”
Qige was telling the truth, but Catherine didn't believe it at all:
"Ha. You told me the same thing when I was in Over, and then you took away the entire continent of Over.
If it hadn't been for the last letter you gave me that told me to evacuate in time, I would be drifting towards the Endless Sea following the Overland."
Qi Ge:……
"Your Majesty, you really wronged me. I swear to the goddess of fate, I really don't have any overall plan now.
Besides, does my plan really make sense?
Her Majesty the Queen.
You are the king of Erathia. His Majesty Griffin is your father.
All the choices are ultimately yours.
All I can do is give you a little help at the right time with the help of my power."
"Humph, forget it if you don't want to say it. When the time comes, my own judgment will disrupt your plan, so don't blame me."
Catherine hung up the conch and rubbed her eyebrows.
She looked at the members of the Sisters of Silence, and just as she was about to speak, the conch vibrated again.
Catherine took the conch and asked:
"What's up?"
Seven pigeons’ cautious voices came from the conch:
"Well, Her Majesty the Queen, I would like to ask, do you know the whereabouts of General Morgan Kendall?"
Catherine couldn't help but feel a little strange when she suddenly heard this name.
Morgan Kendall, the oldest legendary hero in Erathia.
He is Gru's adoptive father and the temporary successor after the death of his father, Geffen Hart.
He single-handedly created Erathia's dual-king system, giving himself enough resources to compete with the Holy Sky Church and Roland.
But because he was disappointed with the church, he finally betrayed Erathia and became a wandering neutral hero.
Because of his departure, Erathia's already unstable political situation became more turbulent, which directly led to countless internal strife in Erathia.
"Why did you suddenly mention him, Qi Ge?
I've seen General Kendall for a long time.
Ever since he left Erathia, it was as if he had disappeared from the world without any news."
"Oh, it's okay then."
Qi Ge said:
"I just feel that General Kendall, as King Griffin's most trusted subordinate, might return to Erathia to meet King Griffin this time when King Griffin becomes undead.
Decades have passed, and I don’t know what General Kendall’s strength is now.”
Catherine sighed sadly and said:
"He won't go.
The one he once loyal to was King Griffin, who had great talent and strategy, put an end to civil strife, and loved his people like a son.
Not the current undead who wielded a butcher's knife against his former people.
Even Roland and I can't get his approval, and it's even more impossible for my father to become an undead and lose his humanity."
"Oh, it seems I'm worrying too much."
Qi Ge paused and asked:
"Your Majesty, is there anything else you would like to say?"
