The purpose of the investigation team sent by the Religion of Order to the Religion of the Desert is actually to find out the actual situation of both parties in the name of "investigation" and pave the way for the follow-up intervention of the Religion of Order.

In any case, the "initial intention" of the Cult of Order to annex and control the Cult of the Desert and turn it into a puppet affiliated Cult like the Pamires Cult has never changed.

It's just that the original plan of the Order God Cult was to support the separatist forces of the Desert God Cult as a breakthrough.

This plan was originally implemented very well. Even though the family of the chief bishop of York City, Worfren, was assassinated, the Cult of Kosmos had found out the clues, but they still pinched their noses and admitted it for the sake of the overall interests.

It's just that the High Priest Norton, who came out of retreat later, forcibly overturned this silence of interests, causing the Order God to interrupt the original plan. Strike by separatist forces.

Since then, the desert religion and the desert religion have been completely torn apart, and a civil war broke out.

At first, there were noises from many factions within the Cult of Kosmos about the plan to overthrow the high priest, and many of them were factions that originally supported the high priest, but as the civil war continued, this noise gradually dissipated.

Because even without the support of order, the strength displayed by the Desert God Cult in the civil war is really amazing. Although the orthodox Desert God Cult had an absolute advantage in the beginning, it has also achieved one after another. The so-called counter-insurgency victory in the field, but every time a key node is reached, it is always impossible to achieve full success.

Then, the Desert God Cult launched a series of effective counterattacks, and its personnel buried inside the Desert God Cult began to rebel rhythmically, causing the Desert God Cult to gradually lose the initiative on the battlefield, and was actually drawn into a stalemate in the civil war.

Today's conflict is also a recent masterpiece.

Originally, the rebels in the desert assembled secretly and launched a surprise attack on the desert holy land of Maikina, but the heavily fortified holy land of Maikina withstood the opponent's offensive.

It's just that this unexpected situation forced the Cult of Order to speed up the process of the investigation team's entry. According to the plan, the investigation team will start to transfer after arriving at the Holy Land of McKinna, to go with the previous batches of arrivals. The investigative team converged.

However, the mutation still happened.

First of all, there was a mutiny in a defense regiment of the Holy Land of Makina. The first person in charge of the Holy Land’s educational affairs and the person in charge of the defense went there in person in an attempt to resolve the internal conflict. As a result, the person in charge of the No. The senior priest also cooperated with the inside and the outside, shutting down many important defensive formations in the Holy Land, and attracting external rebels to enter.

Therefore, when Karen and the others teleported over, the rebel army had already invaded the Holy Land, and the remaining desert forces in the Holy Land were still making their final resistance, but they were just doing their last unnecessary struggle after losing their leadership and disrupting the establishment.

…

At this time, in the teleportation circle hall, everyone in the investigation team focused their eyes on the two deputy heads.

This investigation team has one official leader and eight deputy leaders. The last batch here is led by two deputy leaders.

However, even Karen felt unbelievable that in such a tense and critical situation, the two deputy captains actually quarreled.

Yes, that's right, they were arguing, and they didn't care about using any isolation barrier, so everyone could hear the content of the quarrel.

The deputy head of Ze'an suggested that the people who lead the investigation team break out immediately, leave here before the rebels have fully grasped the Holy Land of Makina, and then seek to join the main team of the investigation team.

The deputy head of Yamrek insisted on staying where he was, and contacted the person in charge of the rebel army, and asked the rebel army to send him and others away, so as to avoid possible casualties during the breakout.

Moreover, most of the investigation team supported Deputy Head Yamrek, so the balance of the decision was tilting towards Yamrek.

Richard cursed incomprehensibly: "Damn it! Are they out of their minds!"

Karen looked at Richard and shook his head.

They are not out of their minds, but the result of established thinking and reality.

If Karen was the leader of the deputy head here, he would definitely give the same order as the deputy head Ze'an without hesitation. In this critical situation, he would try his best to take the initiative.

But staying here and waiting to contact the rebels is actually transferring the initiative in a disguised form, and handing over a series of powers such as freedom and safety on their own side to the rebels.

This is unacceptable to Karen. Whether it is his own personality or job attributes, he rejects this negative attitude towards crisis.

But the problem is that this investigation team is not entirely composed of members of the Knights or the Whip of Order. Among them, the Whip of Order members are also the team led by Karen, which accounts for a very low proportion. Most of the rest, They are all civil servants, and many of them come in through connections to gild their official careers.

Less than half of the people who came out of the teleportation circle before could maintain a standing posture without slumping down.

Therefore, many of them know that if they choose to break out, many casualties will inevitably be caused in this process, and many of them will become casualties. Very clear perception.

In addition, everyone has become accustomed to the detached position of the Cult of Order in the church circle. Under this established thinking, they don't think that the rebels dare to harm the investigation team, because this may stimulate the Cult of Order to send knights to directly participate in this Infield battle.

Karen does not think so. Judging from the recent battle reports on the front line, the reason why the desert rebels have gained a series of advantages recently is indeed part of the reason for their own penetration into the desert, but there should be another factor behind this, that is After the Religion of Order announced its support for the Desert Religion in countering the rebellion, the desert received secret support from other orthodox Religions in the church circle.

Karen still remembers the scene of washing dishes with Protaras in the "memory picture" a few days ago. The topic of the conversation was that the light invaded Anxi more than a thousand years ago. Protaras excitedly said that the order will support the Antheism , Let the light continue to bleed here.

A similar scene is likely to repeat itself a thousand years later, but the identities are swapped, and it becomes other orthodox theological religions who want to let Order bleed.

If this is the case, then as the real supporters behind the desert, those orthodox theological religions would be happy to see the desert rebels make the situation serious, thus forcing Order to enter this civil war by itself.

Even though the Knights of Order can win all the battles with an absolute crushing posture on the frontal battlefield, the remaining security battles can also continue to cut flesh with soft knives.

Although the desert religion does not have the largest number of believers, after all, it was only a large **** religion, but it has a vast territory, and the holy places and missionary areas are far apart, because it is mainly in the desert area, with a small population but a lot of bad land.

This is very similar to the Parthian religion more than a thousand years ago.

The strategy is deep and there is a steady stream of resource support behind it. As long as the above two conditions are met, a bloodletting plate can be created.

So, now everyone is standing still, waiting to be arranged... Karen is really worried that he will be sent to the gallows, and the whole process is broadcast live to the outside world using a communication array.

The only thing that can be done at that time is probably to shout to the camera of the communication array before the execution: "Long live order!"

Now, the only hope is that the deputy head of Ze'an can be more rigid. Even if the overall situation cannot be changed, at least a split can be made, for example, those who are willing to break through can follow him to break through.

However, Karen was disappointed, which was to be expected, of course.

Karen himself didn't choose to turn his head and run away, because he knew that he was now a member of the investigation team, and it was a big taboo to ignore the team's orders and leave without permission to make decisions.

Unless you are 100% sure that if you stay, you will be sent to the gallows, but if the rebels do not do so, then what awaits you is the liquidation from the Cult of Kosmos.

The same is true for the deputy head of Ze'an. Even if he put forward his own suggestion, he does not intend to bear the subsequent impact of splitting the investigation team.

Next, everyone was resting and waiting in the teleportation circle hall.

The deputy head of Ze'an handed over all the command power, a little disheartened, and sat down by himself

up.

Karen originally thought that the deputy leader of Yamrek would call him, even if he was not himself, he would call other experienced team leaders to lead the personnel in the battle sequence positions in the team to make a simple alert arrangement for the periphery

But after waiting and waiting, he didn't call himself or anyone else. Instead, he asked someone to restore the communication circle damaged by the previous violent explosion and vibration, and he wanted to contact the church.

It’s just that it’s cumbersome to repair a formation that isn’t a system, and it’s difficult to complete it in a short period of time. Therefore, deputy head Yamrek himself sat cross-legged on the ground with a copy of Symmetra on his knees, and started Recite teachings to soothe people's hearts.

This scene directly paralyzed Karen.

If the deputy head of Yamrek is his subordinate, then he should have sacrificed this guy to the flag by now.

However, he is now the highest person in charge of order here.

Even Philomena, who has never liked to talk, whispered at this time: "So we have to climb up, so as not to give the pigs the opportunity to be their own leader."

Karen finally took the initiative to walk to the deputy head of Yamrek, Yamrek raised his head and looked at Karen.

"grown ups."

"Karen, you are so young. I ordered someone to invite you to the dinner the night before yesterday, but I was told that you hadn't come. I'm afraid you don't know. I have a very good relationship with Walforon. We used to I have been a colleague for a while, he is my deputy, my good partner.”

Karen suppressed the impatience in his heart, is it time to reminisce about the past?

"My lord, my subordinates suggest whether we can lead people to set up a guard on the periphery first, so that we can keep abreast of the dynamics outside and give us a greater degree of safety. "

"No, you can't, you can't do this." Yamlek reached out and stroked his gray beard, "It's easy to cause unnecessary conflicts with the rebels. I'm afraid they will mistakenly think that we are directly involved in the desert and the desert." A civil war between the two is likely to be counterproductive, you are still young, you don’t know that a small misunderstanding in this chaotic situation may lead to extremely difficult consequences.”

"However, my lord, my religion has already publicly stated its support for the Desert God Cult's suppression of the desert rebellion, I don't think..."

"Confused." Yamrek shook his head and educated Karen with an elder attitude, "A statement is a statement. As for what can and cannot be done, the high-level rebels on the desert side should have a head It's very clear that they dare not do anything to us, hehe."

"But they did it to the family of the chief bishop of Walforon."

Yamrek glared at Karen: "One is doing something in secret and the other is doing it publicly. Can these two things be the same? Besides, is the matter of Wo Fulun really the so-called investigation?" What is said in the report is not necessarily true. I have read the investigation report, and the evidence is actually not detailed, and many of them are conjectures.”

Karen pursed her lips.

"Just wait quietly and wait for the situation outside to clear up. Don't do superfluous things. Doing more in this situation will make more mistakes. Young people, don't be so impetuous, do you understand?"

"Yes, my lord."

Karen has no choice, because not only Yamrek has the absolute dominance now, but most of the investigation team also support him.

However, at this moment, the deputy head of Ze'an, who had been sitting there before, got up and walked over again, and said, "Karen, take some people to the periphery to make a simple arrangement."

Yamrek immediately dissatisfied: "Zean, didn't you say that you don't care about it, why are you intervening now? You have to remember that you are ranked below me in the sequence of the deputy head of the investigation team!"

Zean said: "But Yamrek, have you forgotten, the rebels don't know that our order investigation team is here, and they don't know that we are in this teleportation circle hall now, so you don't have to worry about the rebels attacking While here, send a magic crystal cannon directly to the hall of the teleportation circle?"

Yamrek choked.

Ze'an continued: "You have to send some people to the periphery to seek contact with the rebels. I admit that you are right and agree with your decision. The rebels dare not touch us.

, but if the vanguard of the rebel army rushes here directly, and their leadership is not there, they will directly take us into custody with violence, or make some humiliating acts similar to treating prisoners of war, then what will be lost at that time will be our **** of order teach face.

You must let someone tell the rebels our identity and location in advance, so that we can get the courtesy we deserve!"

Yamrek hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, you can do this first."

Ze'an looked at Karen and ordered: "Karen, you choose a group of people..."

"You can't let Karen go, young people tend to be irritable when doing things, just in case..."

Ze'an immediately corrected: "Karen has successfully organized related affairs at the Crypt God Cult, and he has experience in this field."

Yamrek was a little helpless, and finally waved his hand: "Okay, Karen, you can arrange it. Remember, don't start a conflict without authorization, just hand over the relevant situation to the other party."

"Yes, my lord."

After getting the order, Karen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he couldn't break through in advance, being on the periphery can temporarily avoid the worst outcome. Maybe he can still take a look at the situation outside. If the situation is not good, he can still Try to hide and break out again.

It's just that once the time is delayed, the success rate of hiding and breaking out will be greatly reduced.

Karen gestured to Richard and Philomena, then looked at the seven Whip of Order members in his team, and said directly in an orderly tone:

"Take your men and go out with me now to set up a cordon."

"Yes, team leader."

"Yes, Captain."

Although everyone had just met and all the ministers here were older than me, since I was the team leader, I still got good feedback after giving the order.

People who come out of a system are convenient to use. In addition, everyone's views on the current situation generally tend to be the same.

7 team members, plus their respective 2 entourages, the number is actually enough, and Karen does not plan to go to the audition to recruit people, but he still walked to another place, where the former deputy head Ze'an sitting position.

Now the deputy head of Ze'an and the deputy head of Yamrek are staying together. The two set up an isolation barrier this time and started talking in a low voice, so only the 4 entourages of the deputy head of Ze'an remained in place.

His sequence is high, so the number of followers is double that of others.

"Come with me to set up the cordon." Karen said to the four entourage.

The four attendants, two younger and two older, were all men. After hearing Karen's order, they looked at each other, and finally got up and followed Karen out of the teleportation hall.

Halfway through, Karen sensed that the deputy captain Ze'an was looking over, and Karen briefly looked at him.

After leaving the teleportation hall, Karen immediately made arrangements for the cordon arrangement. Because it was not purely defensive, the guard post was deliberately arranged loosely.

In the end, Karen explained emphatically: "Remember, when passing identity information to the rebels, use the crow's method and don't show up in person. In addition, take all the signal flares with you. When the time comes, my signal flare orders will be the main ones. Understand." What!」

"clear!"

"clear!"

"Then it's your turn."

Karen took out the signal flare, gave points to the four attendants of deputy head Ze'an, and at the same time told them the meaning of the signal flare.

Two of the young men said excitedly:

"Minister Karen, I adore you."

"Me too, you are amazing, amazing."

"Who are you, Deputy Captain Ze'an?" "He is the uncle of the two of us."

"Oh, that's how it is."

It's not surprising to bring your own nephew to the investigation team to experience gold plating.

Strictly speaking, Karen is also bringing her cousin, um, and the future cousin-in-law that her grandfather unilaterally thinks,

After entering the security area he chose, Karen observed that the rebels had basically controlled the entire McKee

The holy land was gone, and many priests who were originally from the desert religion began to surrender on a large scale.

The believers who are eligible to live in the main city of the Holy Land are often the core believers, but the core believers do not have a high will to resist the rebels, and there has not been that kind of large-scale resistance.

The remaining resistance forces on the desert side are being quickly dispelled.

This is caused by the nature of the civil war. Perhaps for most grassroots systems, no matter who is in the desert or the desert, what they change is nothing more than the first **** object of belief, because no matter who wins the other side's **** belief will not be defeated. Erase, but will be assigned to the second line, so it is very difficult to have the **** and vicious atmosphere where you must fight to the death.

The rebels began to enter here and took over the main facilities in the holy land. The outpost arranged by Karen also sent out a crow message, telling the forward rebels who was in the hall of the teleportation circle at this time.

Even now...Karen feels that this approach is really a brain problem, if it is controlled as soon as it is teleported, it will be fine, but on his side, it is actually sitting and waiting.

In the past, I only heard that the weak gods would be cautious in front of the big gods, but I didn't expect the reverse to be the case.

Soon, a group of rebels surrounded the hall of the teleportation circle. In the central area was a huge desert hunchback, a bit like the giant of order in the Cult of Order, but although the giant of order was ugly, at least he looked like a human being. , The desert hunchbacks are all hunchbacked, and they have yellow-brown hair all over their bodies, like giant apes.

There is a platform on the desert camel walker. From a distance, there are many people standing on it, which should be the level of the commander.

In the air, many huge sand eagles were circling, some of them were monitoring, and some were issuing safety notices.

Karen took out the flare and gave the command to "keep hiding".

Someone from the rebels went forward to negotiate, and after a while, five priests of order came out from the hall of the teleportation circle. They all arranged the robes of order on their bodies very well, and their personal appearance was also very good. Those who are in charge of sacrificial matters here, um, will also be responsible for feeding Sandy.

The reason why they exist in the investigation team is also to consider all aspects. If you want to subdue the desert **** religion, religious teachings and sacrifices ~lightnovelpub.net~ cannot be ignored.

At this time, one of the five priests of order was in the front and four were in the back. The person in the front said in a solemn voice with the method of amplifying:

"I, the deputy head of the investigation team of the Order of the Gods, are inside. I invite the representatives of the Desert Gods to come in and salute."

Next, if the desert side sends representatives to negotiate and treat the investigation team well, then the investigation team will be safe. Not only will they be entertained, but they can also be escorted by the rebels to the desert side's sphere of influence.

The deputy head of Yamrek can also reap the reputation of maintaining order, dignity and decency in times of crisis, which will add points to his future career.

However, there seemed to be laughter coming from the platform on the back of the desert camel walker, and there was a kind of contempt in the laughter.

Immediately afterwards,

The desert hunchback opened its huge mouth, and the teeth inlaid with fire spar began to glow. Immediately, a huge pillar of fire spewed down, directly burning the five priests of order to ashes.

Arrogance and stupidity burned with it.
