Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

"That kid was so awesome just now." The battle sisters were talking about the wrestling match between Linde and Shanoya. "He looked like he was only 13 or 14 years old at most, but he was able to fight the elder sister back and forth."

"They even disfigured the head nun." One of the nuns said bluntly, glancing at Shanoya who was receiving divine treatment.

Lind's attack was directed at Shanoya's face, with a flying stone, a knee strike, and a final eye poke, which directly shattered Shanoya's beautiful face.

As a nun, Shanoya doesn't care too much about her face, but loving beauty is a woman's nature, and no woman can remain calm after her image is broken again.

Linde, Shanoya silently remembered this name. Although Shanoya kept telling herself that she was an adult and shouldn't argue with a child, reason could not always prevail.

"All right." The only combat nun in cloth finished the treatment. "The wound has healed, but it will take some time to fully recover."

"I know." Shanoya said in a deep voice, her voice a little off due to the injury on her nose. "Bring all the supplies, and let's go."

Chapter 101: How is my sister doing?

The 30 combat sisters who arrived at Ivozhen Island all came from the Order of Martyrs. There are six orders of combat sisters in the Holy Empire, belonging to two branches, each with its own characteristics. The characteristic of the Order of Martyrs is that they integrate the belief in the Emperor into every aspect of their daily life, and actively participate in the battle against the heretics who blaspheme the Emperor, and are ready to be martyred at any time.

It feels crazy as soon as I hear it.

Fanatics have always been common, but there are particularly many of them among combat nuns, which is why many people's first reaction when they mention combat nuns is that they are crazy women.

The Martyrs' Sisters are not that crazy among the battle sisters, because there are more crazy ones, such as the Black Grail Sisters who like barbecue, the Thorn Sisters who flagellate themselves three times a day, and so on...

The battle sisters quickly prepared all the supplies and were ready to set off for the camp that Ilufa had mentioned, which was a few hours away to the south. Since there were no horses or other means of transportation, all the supplies had to be carried by the sisters.

Ram, who was left behind as a guide, looked at this group of fierce nuns with a tingling scalp. While wearing heavy armor, they could easily carry heavy supplies on their shoulders. If it were me, wearing this heavy armor, let alone carrying things, even moving for a long time would be a problem, but this group of nuns acted as if the heavy armor did not exist.

"Please lead the way, Sir Ram." After everything was ready, Shanoya said to Ram.

"Ah? Oh." Ram forced an awkward smile. "Then please follow me."

So, under the leadership of Ram, a group of thirty nuns marched towards the camp.

Along the way, all the nuns remained silent and marched silently. Apart from the friction and collision of armor and a low "God Emperor" that came out from time to time, there was no other sound.

Ram was somewhat depressed by the silent atmosphere. It was a terrible feeling. No wonder those who had fought side by side with the battle sisters were unwilling to fight with them again. They felt very depressed without fighting.

"Sir Ram." They were walking peacefully, and Shanoya suddenly called Ram.

"What?" Ram was stunned and turned to look at Shanoya nervously.

"Sister... Countess, is she doing well?" Shanoya asked with a little guilt.

Shanoya is the adopted daughter of Ilfa's husband's family, the Gaines family. In terms of kinship, Shanoya is Ilfa's sister-in-law. As a knight of the Gaines family, Ram knows a lot about the internal affairs of the Gaines family.

For example, Shanoya's guilt towards Ilfa.

"Madam, she is living well, right?" Ram said with a smile. "Although the conditions are far worse than in the Holy Empire, Madam is living a fulfilling and happy life. In the camp, Madam often laughs, a happy laugh."

Since marrying into the Gaines family, Illufa has laughed from the bottom of her heart only a few times.

"Sister...she smiled?" Shanoya frowned slightly. In a place like this, Ilfa felt happy?

"Yes." Ram was also opened up. "Because of Sir Linde."

"Linde?" Shanoya frowned even deeper, because this was the name of the person who had just wrestled in the mud with her.

"Yes, Lind Lane." Ram continued. "He is the son of the undefeated Kong Nan~"

As soon as the words came out, the combat nuns present all showed expressions of "I see". They had always found it hard to accept that a kid who was at most thirteen years old could fight with their head nun like that, but if the kid was the child of Kong Nan who would never fall from his horse, then they would be able to accept it.

but……

"Master Kong Nan, don't you have a son?" A one-eyed nun interrupted in the team.

"This..." Ram was a little embarrassed. Could he tell the truth?

As an experienced knight, Ram knew the importance of Lind to the camp. He also knew that Lind, as the son of the Earth Mother Goddess, would almost certainly come into conflict with the devout followers of the Divine Emperor Church.

Originally, Ram wanted to save Linde's reputation a little and improve his impression in the eyes of these nuns, but the result... seems to have backfired?

Just when Ram was in trouble, the camp appeared in everyone's sight, and unexpectedly, Ilfa was standing outside the camp waiting.

Shanoya was somewhat flattered. In the etiquette of the Holy Empire, it was a very important courtesy for the lord to go out of the city to greet someone. Although Irufa was alone, without any guards around her, which was a bit shabby, and this camp without even a wall could not be considered a city, but this did not change the fact that she went out of the city to greet him.

"Sister!" Shanoya ran to Ilufa in surprise and joy. "You don't have to go out of the city to welcome me!"

"My dear sister risked her life to save me, so of course I had to go out of the city to welcome her." Ilfa smiled, then opened her arms and gave Shanoya a warm hug.

I was covered in mud before, but now I have made up for it.

Shanoya, who is 1.7 meters tall, and Ilufa, who is 1.6 meters tall, hugged each other. Shanoya looked happy, while Ilufa felt uncomfortable.

"When it's not time to fight, you can take off your armor." Ilfa suggested after the two of them let go.

"No, this is our practice, and we are just nuns, not knights, so we don't have servants to keep our armor for us." Shanoya explained.

The arrival of the nuns quickly attracted the attention of the serfs in the camp. Some serfs temporarily stopped their work and looked at the nuns in heavy armor with curiosity. Then, their team leader kicked them in the buttocks and scolded them, "Don't you want to eat meat?!", and then they continued to work.

When the serfs observed the nuns, the nuns also observed the serfs in the camp. Soon, the nuns found that the serfs in the camp were different. They were enthusiastic, efficient, and had ruddy faces and bright eyes. They were completely different from the serfs in other places who were pale, thin, and had numb eyes.

When some serfs looked over, they even felt bitter in their eyes...

Not only the serfs, but even Lady Ilufa's face did not have the look of a resentful woman in the boudoir, but was full of smiles.

It seems that what Sir Ram said is true. Although this place is simple, it is full of vitality and people live happily.

But the next moment, all the nuns frowned in unison, and some even put their hands on their weapons because they saw a figure with horns.

"Sister, what is that..." Shanoya pointed at Katie who was passing by in confusion and asked Ilfa with her eyes.

"Sister, this is why I came out to greet you." Ilfa looked at Shanoya seriously. "This camp was built by humans and the new beastmen together."

Chapter 102: Warm Workplace Relationships

Beastman!?

Upon hearing this word, almost all the combat nuns subconsciously switched to combat mode.

To humans and all intelligent races, Beastmen are horrific aliens with whom there is no possibility of peace, and are treated the same as the followers of the Chaos God.

It is still possible to communicate with other enemies of mankind, such as vampires, green orks, and dark elves, and some can even do some trade, but Beastmen are completely different. Once you encounter Beastmen, there is no second possibility except the death of one side.

Therefore, when they saw a new beastman with horns, a cow tail and particularly large breasts in the camp, all the combat sisters subconsciously switched to combat mode.

In addition to racial enemies, there is also a bit of hatred towards women in the mix.

Among the combat nuns present, Shanoya was the only one who could remain calm. She took a deep breath, tried to suppress her instinctive anger, and looked at her sister-in-law with burning eyes, waiting for her to give her an explanation.

"The beastmen here are new beastmen, and they are very different from the beastmen you know."

"Different?" Shanoya frowned.

"Yes." Illufa nodded, and was very happy that her sister-in-law was able to maintain restraint and did not immediately purify her as a heretic. "The new beastmen and the chaos beastmen, that is, the beastmen you used to know, are different."

Due to the lack of information, the new beastmen, which currently only exist on the island of Aiwozhen, are still unknown to the public. Among humans, only a few scholars know about the existence of the new beastmen.

After Ilfa's detailed explanation, the battle nuns gradually stopped their combat status and took their hands away from their weapons, but still maintained a certain degree of vigilance.

"A believer of the Mother Earth?" Shanoya repeated after listening to Ilfa's explanation.

"Yes, almost all of the new beastmen are believers of the Earth Mother." Illufa confirmed. "Does the Earth Mother know?"

"Millia."

"exist."

"Check if Mother Earth is on the list."

"Yes."

At Shanoya's command, the nun named Milia took off the metal cover on her waist, which also contained the scripture with four bumped corners, and began to read through it.

"It's not on the whitelist or the blacklist." Milia quickly gave the answer.

This result made the relaxed Battle Sisters nervous again. They were not on the white list or the black list, which meant that they were gods that the Holy Empire had not officially defined, so they might be enemies.

For the fanatical sisters of battle, anyone who is not on the whitelist is a heretic. If loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal.

"Please rest assured, Mother Earth is a very kind and benevolent god. She has chosen me as a pagan and saved my life." Ilufa immediately explained. "Mother Earth and her followers have helped us, the survivors, to successfully take root here. I assure you on my honor that Mother Earth is not an evil god."

A noble has guaranteed his reputation, so the battle nuns cannot say anything, especially since Ilfa is Shanoya's sister-in-law.

"I believe you, dear sister." Since the words have come to this point, Shanoya has to give Ilufa some face. "I promise that the Martyred Sisters will not take any hostile actions against the followers of the Earth Mother in your territory, nor will they interfere with the religious activities of the followers of the Earth Mother."

"Yeah, I knew that my sister wouldn't let me down." Since Shanoya had already made the promise, Ilfa's first goal had been achieved, so she welcomed the combat nuns into the camp.

After entering the camp, Shanoya asked the combat nuns to rest on the spot first, and she took an adjutant with her to Ilufa's main account to exchange information.

As soon as she entered the main tent, Shanoya saw Lind sitting inside with his arms folded across his chest.

"Nice to meet you again, Sister." Linde greeted Shanoya with a smile. "Does your nose still hurt?"

"Hmph." As soon as she saw Lind, Shanoya felt a dull pain in her crotch again. "Don't worry, your attack is so soft, just like a baby's. I didn't feel anything at all."

"Oh? Is that how you usually talk? Then it must be very uncomfortable for your colleagues to communicate with you." Linde retorted sarcastically.

A trace of anger flashed across Shanoya's face, but Linde still had a smiling face.

Seeing the two people at loggerheads, Ilufa was also helpless. Ilufa knew very well what happened, and the responsibility lay with Shanoya, but given the character of the battle sisters, getting them to take the initiative to admit their mistakes was as difficult as getting a follower of the evil god who loved the developer conference to agree to abstain from sex.

One is the sister-in-law who is like her own younger sister, and the other is the son-in-law whom she has chosen. They are all relatives, so she must find a way to ease their relationship.

"Sister, why is he here?" Shanoya looked at Ilufa. "Isn't this your home?"

"I am the camp construction manager officially appointed by the Countess. Why can't I be here?"

"You!? Do you have a formal appointment letter?"

"I'm sorry, but I can write you a copy if you ask."

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Seeing the situation getting heated, Ilufa stopped it in time. "Shanoya, Linde didn't lie to you. He is indeed the camp construction manager. I appointed him personally. The camp can be built like this now, all thanks to Linde."

"Really?!" Even after getting Ilfa's personal admission, Shanoya still couldn't believe it. "This short, short brat!?"

"Who are you calling short?" Lind was angry.

"Alright! Shut up!"

Ilfa massaged his temples with a headache. When he thought that they would work together for quite a long time in the future, Ilfa felt wrinkles preparing to appear on his forehead.

"Shanoya, how did you get here?" Ilfa asked Shanoya.

Seeing that the conversation was getting down to business, Linde put his thoughts aside and switched to work mode.

"We came here by ship," Shanoya replied. "But our ship has run aground outside Dundalk and cannot be moved."

"Who sent you here?" Linde interrupted. This was the issue that Linde was most concerned about.

"No one sent us here, we came here voluntarily." Shanoya looked at Lind with some displeasure and answered the question. "That coward Gast said that the entire Ivozhen Island has been occupied, so the Empire has no plans to support this place, but I don't believe that you are dead, so I robbed a ship and came here to find you."

Chapter 103: The Fierce Nun

Shanoya, known to all people as Shanoya Gaines, but according to the custom of the Holy Empire, once one becomes a clergyman, it is equivalent to breaking away from the original family and serving the God-Emperor wholeheartedly, so the family name is usually omitted and the name is called directly, and the clerical position can be added, such as Sister Shanoya.

Shanoya became a nun at the age of fourteen and joined the Church of the Divine Emperor as a combat nun. After going through layers of selection, she joined the most famous Martyrdom Sisters among the combat nuns. Relying on her devout faith, excellent qualities, and family background, she successfully became a senior nun at the age of twenty-five.

As a battle sister, Shanoya has always been fighting on the front line. As long as the enemy is an alien or a heretic, the battle sister will go to the front line immediately. Now the Holy Empire is facing harassment from the Norse pirates in the north, and the Norse pirates are a typical barbarian tribe that all believe in the evil god of chaos. It is natural for the battle sister to appear on the front line.

But at this moment, Shanoya came to Aiwozhen Island with thirty sisters.

There is only one purpose for doing this, to rescue his sister-in-law and niece.

"Shortly before the Norse pirates attacked, Brother Caster returned to the Holy Empire and claimed that the entire colony of Ivojin Island had fallen." Shanoya told Ilfa what happened. "Sister, you also know the policy of the Holy Empire. If a colony is completely destroyed by the beastmen, unless it is an important strategic location, the empire will not spend time and effort to recover it. Instead, it will wait until the next year, when all the beastmen have left, and then send a new colony to rebuild it."

"Although my brother claimed that all the colonies had fallen, I learned through questioning the guards who brought him back that Dundalk had not fallen when they left, and that you, my sister, were still holding on with the rest of the people, so I robbed a ship and came here." Shanoya said, looking a little excited.

"When the ship hadn't docked yet, and I saw that the city of Dundalk had become a ruin, I thought that you had already..." When she said this, Shanoya became so emotional that tears came out of her eyes.

"Thank goodness! God Emperor bless you! You are safe!" When she said this, Shanoya really cried.

Ilfa stood up, walked to Shanoya, opened his arms, and gently held Shanoya in his arms.

Linde on the side looked at the beautiful scene and curled his lips in disdain. It was the blessing of the Emperor. The Emperor did not appear when Dundalk City fell, and the Emperor did not appear when your sister-in-law was tied to the pillar. If it were not for the heroic fighting of myself and others, your sister-in-law's seventh day would have passed.

And taking a step back, if I remember correctly, Ilfa is a believer in the God of Magic. If the Emperor of God blesses me, would that be considered crossing the line?

Ilfa was in a position where he could see Lind, so he naturally saw Lind's little movements. Ilfa interpreted Lind's disdain as dissatisfaction with Shanoya, but this was understandable, after all, Shanoya almost killed Schnee.
