Only by her personally overseeing this place and cutting off contact between the Monastery and the outside world could she ensure that the situation inside was not exposed.
This way, even if the other party knew there was a problem at the Monastery, not knowing the cause and outcome of the problem would give Ilena enough time to arrange the next steps.
Before nightfall, Kal'tsit finally returned to the Monastery.
Looking at the closed gate, Kal'tsit's expression wasn't too grim. After all, she had been attacked outside, so whatever Kanna and Ilena encountered inside was within her expectations.
From Ilena, who stood coldly at the main entrance like a door god, it seemed their situation was still quite good.
As for Kanna, she wasn't worried. After all, from what she knew, if she were truly provoked, it would definitely not be their side that suffered.
Seeing Kal'tsit walk in, Ilena breathed a sigh of relief. Although Kanna seemed indifferent, Kal'tsit had been out of contact for so long, and Ilena was extremely anxious.
The two discussed the day's events, and Ilena exclaimed in shock, "So you killed everyone in the entire City Hall?"
Kal'tsit nodded, "It's clear that spell could only be broken if one of the two parties was completely eliminated. Fortunately, those 'Seaborn' weren't counted as opponents, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out."
Ilena couldn't imagine how Kal'tsit, who looked like such a delicate Feline, managed to eliminate an entire City Hall, along with countless Seaborn who came to reinforce them.
"What about your side?"
Since Ilena was standing here, it proved that something had happened at the Monastery, but the news had been contained and not spread.
"Our side hasn't had too many problems," Ilena recounted the death of the nun and Kanna's subsequent actions to Kal'tsit, who stroked her chin and nodded.
"You did well. From my observations, the two largest enemy strongholds in Rock Bay Town are the City Hall and this Monastery. The City Hall has been cleared by me, so most of the remaining enemy personnel should be here."
"But with so many people disappearing from the City Hall, won't that cause panic?" Ilena asked worriedly.
"That's for sure. From what I know, you should have a way to communicate with the outside world. It's impossible that you haven't contacted anyone after all this time! The situation ahead is not something that just a couple of us can solve." Kal'tsit was a bit exasperated with the current situation. She had originally only intended to conduct a secret investigation and then let the Inquisitor handle things here, but it had turned into her acting personally.
Ilena nodded, "I already contacted Saint Carmen this afternoon. He has arranged for the Grand Inquisitor and the Inquisition to come for support, but according to him, the closest ones won't arrive until tomorrow noon."
Kal'tsit breathed a sigh of relief. Since Saint Carmen had arranged for support, they only needed to hold out for one night. This made the difficulty much lower.
"But we can't let our guard down. The matter of the City Hall can't be kept secret; it will definitely spread here. If the cultists inside find out that the City Hall is gone, they might do something crazy, so we must be careful tonight."
"By the way, where is Kanna?"
Ilena pointed to the third floor, "Since the Church side has no other choice, it's managed by their own people. Kanna is in Dona's room on the third floor. She said that if we're going to wait for the rabbit, she'll just wait by the tree."
Kal'tsit stretched her shoulders. "Then let her stay there. With her strength, Dona won't have any problems. It's us and the ordinary people remaining in the church who will face increasing danger the longer this goes on."
As the two stood at the entrance chatting, a nun approached with a nervous look in her eyes. Ilena frowned, recognizing her as one of those chosen by Lucy to collect bodies earlier in the day.
"Didn't I say everyone must stay inside? Why are you out?"
Ilena's sword tip pointed at the nun's forehead.
"Mr. Malfoy asked me to come over. There are no special resting supplies in the church, and he hopes to arrange for a few people to go to the dormitories to get some blankets. After all, there are many elderly people in the church, and spending the night like this could cause problems."
Hearing her words, Kal'tsit and Ilena exchanged glances.
"Is that Mr. Malfoy's idea?"
"No, it should be Dean Green. I saw him talking to Mr. Malfoy just now, and then Mr. Malfoy asked me to inquire."
Ilena put away her weapon after hearing this.
"That's right. Dean Green is so old; it's improper to make him sleep in his clothes. Tell Mr. Malfoy to arrange ten people, five men and five women, to go to the dormitories to get blankets, but they are not allowed to enter the third floor. Kal'tsit, please go guard the third floor."
Kal'tsit nodded and walked towards the dormitories, while the nun scurried back into the Monastery.
Mr. Malfoy was currently busy arranging the evening's affairs, and Green, under the threat that everyone would die if the Inquisitor found out, had forced him to agree to his request to seek Ilena's permission to access the dormitories.
After all, Dona was in the dormitories, and if they couldn't even get past, there would be no way to assassinate Dona.
Soon, the person sent to find Ilena returned to the room. She brought good news for the "Church": the other party had agreed to let them retrieve blankets, but only ten people could go.
Green and his subordinates exchanged glances, then he said in a low voice with fierce eyes,
"Currently, that Inquisitor is guarding the entrance and definitely can't leave. Upstairs, besides Dona, there are at most her friend and that child. We'll send ten people to launch a surprise attack, using Originium Arts to pull them into the underground lava caves. Once inside the caves, with so many Seaborn helping, Dona and those two won't be your match. Then you can directly use the effects of the Originium Arts to hide in the underground caves. This way, even if that Inquisitor discovers something is wrong, she won't find anyone."
After hearing Green's words, the others nodded, agreeing with his plan.
"But aren't we not allowed on the third floor? There's no obstruction between the dormitories and the main entrance. If anyone goes to the third floor, they'll be easily discovered, right?"
"No need to go to the third floor. We'll launch a surprise attack directly from the second floor, beneath Dona's room. They would never expect our attack route isn't from the front. I personally watched this building being constructed; the floorboards aren't thick. Any one of us can break through them with our strength. They could never imagine we'd launch a surprise attack from below." Green's face showed a look of certainty.
Soon, under Green's "arrangement," ten people left the Monastery to retrieve supplies and headed towards the dormitories.
