"Even if I don't forgive you, I know who it is."
This offer did not sway Xiaoling at all, and she was completely unmoved by it.
This morning the Vatican was spreading rumors and slander, and now they've pulled this stunt. It's hard to imagine who else could be the instigator.
She had long been wary of such tactics; her master had taught her that in this situation, staging an accident was usually just the beginning, and there would be more trouble to come.
For example...
"What! Someone's dead!"
Before the words were even finished, a large group of people burst in. "Just as the newspapers said, this Holy Fire Cat Cult is a den of treachery that has been harming everyone... um..."
The boastful words came to an abrupt halt when they saw that the guy who staged the accident was unharmed but looked ashen-faced, and the two sides stared at each other blankly.
An awkward atmosphere filled the air.
"I never imagined that the Vatican's methods would be so despicable."
Pan Ling narrowed her eyes in disgust. She could tell at a glance that these people were not only well-prepared, but also not just thugs who were paid to do things.
On the contrary, their unyielding synchronized steps and the calluses on their hands and feet reveal that these people are priests and knights of the Papacy in disguise!
Even louder noises came from outside, clearly indicating that they wanted to take this opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop!
"...Go! Destroy these heretics!"
Seeing that he had been exposed, the leader simply stopped pretending and drew his sword with a wave of his hand.
To be honest, as a Silver Knight, he also felt ashamed to disguise himself and do such a thing, but it was the Pope's order, so he naturally had to carry it out.
Now that the fighting has started at the docks, his mission is to wipe out all the heretics here!
"What are you standing there for? Watch out!"
Pan Feng reacted quickly, drew his alloy battle blade, and went to meet him. "Xiao Ling, you take your junior sister to find Master Father. Leave this to me!"
Pan Ling didn't delay. This time, she switched to a field she wasn't good at; staying here would only be a hindrance.
"Junior Sister!"
She quickly found Xia Ke'an, but instead of running away with her as her sister had suggested, she took out a bracelet and handed it to her.
"You know how to use this, right?"
The foolish apprentice said anxiously, "Master said to use this if anything happens!"
"Okay, leave it to me."
The older woman nodded and started operating the machine.
The two of them showed no sign of panic, clearly having anticipated that Xu Shi would be prepared for this situation.
The bracelet was naturally Xu Shi's communication bracelet, used to mobilize the combat teams responsible for guarding the area around the church.
"Is Xu Shi out of his mind? He knows you don't know how to use it, yet he still gives it to you. Wouldn't it have been better to just give it to me directly?"
The white-haired loli still had time to chat idly, she asked with a frown.
"...This is not Master's fault."
Pan Ling lowered her head guiltily, "He taught me, but I forgot..."
"..."
Xia Ke'an was speechless. I thought you were very clever when you were learning from your bad master. How could there be something you couldn't learn?
The foolish apprentice was also ashamed; she really wasn't very good at the high-tech gadgets around her master. "Maybe we shouldn't go to your city-state for further studies in the future," she said, "to avoid embarrassing ourselves..."
However, now is not the time to dwell on that; dealing with the current chaos is the priority.
The combat team moved very quickly, arriving instantly as soon as the dispatch signal was given.
The two sides were locked in a fierce battle.
Although it wasn't as spacious as the docks, the level of gore was probably just as intense—mainly because there were a large number of civilians here who were terrified in the enclosed environment and were screaming and running away.
The Vatican didn't care about them at all. In their eyes, they were all heretics who had turned their backs on God, and they would kill them without hesitation.
On the contrary, the Cat Cult, with its humanitarian touch, evacuated them as much as possible under the command of Xia Ke'an and Pan Ling to prevent them from being harmed.
As for Pan Feng, he had already taken the lead and charged forward.
"This is outrageous! They're not even sparing ordinary people?!"
She couldn't stand the Vatican's actions, and since the two sides were enemies, she naturally wouldn't hold back.
She also demonstrated a very high level of combat skill, wielding her battle blade with agility and combining it with her acceleration ability, leaving a trail of blood wherever she went.
"I feel a bit carefree now."
Xia Ke'an watched the battle from the sidelines and made a very mature remark.
Pan Ling remained noncommittal. Of course, she had also seen Xia Shiniang's dashing and heroic figure, and even now, thinking about it still left her feeling deeply impressed.
While my sister certainly couldn't achieve the same exaggerated level as Xia Wuyou, she was, after all, personally trained by the other party, so you could indeed see quite a few similarities.
She was a little dazed for a moment, and said, "I look like my master, and you look like your master's wife too..."
However, Pan Feng's outstanding performance could not completely change the course of the battle, because there were two Silver Knights among the forces sent by the Holy See to wipe out the Cat Cult.
Ordinary small fry might not be a match for Pan Feng, and with the help of his combat team, he could easily handle them.
But the Silver Knights are different. They are among the top combat forces of the Holy See. The two in front of her are also combat personnel. Under such circumstances, Xiao Feng is having some difficulty and is finding it hard to hold on.
The Cat Cult's defenders were quickly forced to retreat, and the two sides formed a stalemate.
"This young lady is quite capable."
The leader, Silver Bro, had already removed his disguise and sneered, "Too bad, you're all going to die here today."
"Don't expect Xu Shi to come and save you; he can barely take care of himself."
Another Silver-ranked player echoed his sentiments, their eyes filled with the contempt of a victor.
However, they didn't see any panic in Xia Ke'an and the other two; the old lady and Pan Ling still looked confident and in control.
