The purpose of the God of Kosmos' investigation team to the Desert God's Sect is actually to use the name of "investigation" to find out the actual situation of both parties and pave the way for the follow-up intervention of the God of Kosmos.

In any case, the "original intention" of the Cult of Kosmos to annex and control the Desert Cult and turn it into a puppet-affiliated cult like the Palmyres Cult has never changed.

However, the original plan of the Cult of Kosmos was to support the separatist forces of the Desert Cult as a breakthrough.

This plan was originally implemented very well. Even when the family of the Chief Bishop of the York City Region, Walfulen, was assassinated, even if the Cult of Kosmos had found out the clues, they still wanted to hold their noses and admit it for the sake of the overall interests.

However, the Norton High Priest who came out of seclusion later forcibly overturned this silence on interests, causing the Cult of Order to interrupt its original plan and instead publicly condemned the Desert Cult's bad behavior against Order, and supported the Desert Cult's attack on the Desert Cult.

attacks by separatist forces.

Since then, the Desert God Cult and the Desert God Cult were completely at odds with each other, and civil war broke out.

At first, many factions within the Cult of Kosmos made noises about the High Priest's overthrow plan, and many of them were factions that originally supported the High Priest. However, as the civil war continued, this noise gradually dissipated.

Because even if they lost the support of order, the strength displayed by the Desert God Cult in the civil war was really amazing. As an orthodox Desert God Cult, although it had an absolute advantage at the beginning, it also achieved victory after victory.

The so-called counter-insurgency victory in the field, but every time when a critical node is reached, it is always unable to achieve full success.

Then, the Desert God Cult began a series of effective counterattacks, and its personnel buried within the Desert God Cult began to rebel in a rhythmic manner. As a result, the Desert God Cult gradually lost the initiative on the battlefield, and was actually dragged into the stalemate stage of the civil war.

Today’s conflict is also a recent masterpiece.

Originally, the rebels in the desert gathered in secret and launched a surprise attack on the desert holy land of Makina, but the heavily fortified Holy Land of Makina withstood the opponent's offensive.

However, this unexpected situation forced the Cult of Kosmos to speed up the process of the investigation team's entry. According to the plan, the investigation team would begin to move after arriving at the Holy Land of Maiqina, and go with the first few groups who arrived.

The investigation team gathered.

However, changes still occurred.

First, a mutiny occurred in a defense regiment of the Holy Land of Makina. The first person in charge of the Holy Land’s academic affairs and the person in charge of defense went there in person in an attempt to resolve the internal conflict. As a result, the No. 2 person in charge of the Holy Land took the opportunity to jump directly and not only controlled the other

The senior priests also cooperated internally and externally, closing down many important defensive formations in the Holy Land and attracting external rebels.

Therefore, by the time Karen and others teleported over, the rebels had already invaded the Holy Land. The remaining desert forces in the Holy Land were still making their final resistance, but without their leader and their organization in chaos, they were just making a last futile struggle.

…

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

This investigation team has one chief and eight deputy chiefs. The last group here is led by two deputy chiefs.

However, what even Karen found incredible was that in such a tense and critical situation, the two deputy captains actually quarreled.

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

Deputy Captain Ze'an suggested leading the investigation team to break out immediately, leaving the Holy Land before the rebels fully grasped the Makina Holy Land, and then seek to rendezvous with the main investigation team.

Deputy Commander Yamrek insisted on staying where he was, contacting the person in charge of the rebels, and letting the rebels give him and others gifts to leave. This could avoid possible casualties during the breakout.

Moreover, most of the investigation team supports Deputy Chief Yamrek, so the balance of the decision is tilting towards Yamrek.

Richard cursed incomprehensibly: "Fuck! Are they crazy?"

Karen looked at Richard and shook his head.

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

If Karen was the deputy commander here, he would definitely issue the same order as Deputy Commander Ze'an without hesitation, and try his best to take the initiative in this critical situation.

To stay here and wait to contact the rebels is actually to hand over the initiative in disguise, handing over a series of rights such as freedom and safety to the rebels.

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

But the problem is that this investigation team is not entirely composed of members of the Knights or members of the Whip of Order. Among them, the members of the Whip of Order, the group currently led by Karen, account for a very low proportion, and most of the rest are

They are all civil servants, and many of them come in through connections to gild their careers.

Only less than half of the people who came out of the teleportation circle could remain standing without collapsing.

Therefore, many of them know that if they choose to break out, there will inevitably be a lot of casualties in the process, and many of them will become casualties. This is not a random probability, but they have a certain understanding of their own strength level.

Very clear understanding.

In addition, everyone has become accustomed to the transcendent status of the God of Kosmos in the church circle. With this established thinking, they do not think that the rebels dare to harm the investigation team, because this may stimulate the God of Kosmos to send out knights to directly participate in this matter.

A civil war.

Karen doesn't think so. Judging from the recent battle reports on the front line, the desert rebels have recently gained a series of advantages. Their own penetration into the desert is indeed part of the reason, but there should be another factor behind this, and that is

After the Cult of Kosmos announced its support for the Desert Cult in countering the rebellion, the other side of the desert received secret support from other orthodox religious cults in the church circle.

Karen still remembers the scene in the "memory screen" a few days ago when he and Prodalas were washing dishes together. The topic of conversation at that time was the invasion of Parthianism by light more than a thousand years ago. Prodrasas excitedly said that the Order would support the Parthian Cult in the future.

, let the light continue to bleed here.

A similar scene is likely to happen again a thousand years later, but the identities have been swapped, and other orthodox religious cults want to bleed Order.

If this is really the case, then as the real supporters behind the desert, those orthodox religious cults are probably happy to see the desert rebels make the situation completely serious, thereby forcing the order to enter this civil war themselves.

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

Although the Desert Cult does not have the largest number of believers, after all, it was originally just a large cult, but it has a vast territory, and the various holy places and mission areas are far apart, because it is mainly desert areas with a small population but a lot of wasteland.

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

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

Therefore, now everyone is standing still, waiting to be arranged... Karen is really worried that he will be sent to the gallows, and the entire 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 into the communication array camera before execution: "Long live order!"

Now, the only hope is that Deputy Captain Ze'an can be more rigid. Even if he cannot change the overall situation, he can at least create a split. For example, those who are willing to break out can follow him to break out.

However, Karen was still disappointed. Of course, this disappointment was expected.

Karen himself did not choose to turn around and run away because he knew that he was now a member of the investigation team, and it was taboo to ignore the team's orders and leave the company without permission to make decisions.

Unless you are 100% guaranteed to be sent to the gallows if you stay, if the rebels fail to do so, then what awaits you is liquidation from the Cult of Kosmos.

The same goes for Deputy Chief Ze'an. Even if he puts forward his own suggestions, he does not intend to bear the subsequent impact of splitting the investigation team.

Next, everyone rested and waited in the teleportation circle hall.

Deputy Commander Ze'an handed over all command rights. Feeling a little frustrated, he also sat down.

Already.

Karen originally thought that Deputy Captain Yamrek would call him. Even if it was not him, he would call other team leaders with relevant experience to lead the personnel in the battle order position within the team to make a simple warning arrangement for the perimeter.

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

It's just that repairing a formation that is not a system is cumbersome and difficult to complete in a short time, so Deputy Commander Yamrek himself sat cross-legged on the ground with a copy of "Symmetra" on his knees and started.

Recite the teachings to soothe people's hearts.

This scene directly stunned Karen.

If Deputy Commander Yamrek was his subordinate, then he should have sacrificed this guy to his flag by now.

But unfortunately, he is now the person in charge of order here.

Even Philomena, who never liked to talk, whispered at this time: "That's why you have to climb up so that you don't give pigs the chance to be your leader."

Karen finally walked up to Deputy Captain Yamrek. Yamrek raised his head and looked at Karen.

"grown ups."

"Karen, you are so young. I specially asked someone to come to the dinner party the night before yesterday, but I was told that you haven't come yet. I'm afraid you don't know. I have a very good relationship with Wofulun. We used to

I have been a colleague for a while, he is my deputy and my good partner."

Karen suppressed the impatience in her heart, is now the time to reminisce about the past?

"My lord, I would like to suggest that you can lead some people to set up security outside first. This will also allow us to grasp the dynamics outside in a timely manner, and also give us a greater degree of safety space."

"No, no, you can't do this." Yamrek reached out and touched his gray beard. "This will easily cause unnecessary conflicts with the rebels. I'm afraid they will mistakenly think that we are directly involved in the desert and the war in the desert."

A civil war between you and me is likely to have counter-effects. You are still young, and you don’t know that a small misunderstanding in this chaotic situation can lead to extremely difficult consequences."

"But, sir, our religion has already publicly stated its support for the Desert God Cult's counter-rebellion in the desert. I don't think..."

"Confused." Yamrek shook his head and taught Karen in an elder manner, "A statement is a statement. As for what can and cannot be done, the top rebels over the desert should have the same mentality.

It’s very clear that they don’t dare to do anything to us, haha.”

"But they did something to Archbishop Wofulen and his family."

Yamrek glared at Karen: "One is something done secretly in private, and the other is something done publicly. Can these two things be the same? Besides, is the Wofulun matter really the so-called investigation?

What is said in the report is not necessarily certain. I have read the investigation report and the evidence is actually not detailed. A lot of it is just conjecture."

Karen pursed her lips.

"Just wait quietly for the situation outside to clear up. Don't do unnecessary things. In this case, it's easy to make more mistakes if you do too much. Young people, don't be so impetuous. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir."

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

However, at this moment, Deputy Captain Ze'an, who had given up on himself while sitting there, stood up again and walked over, saying, "Karen, please take some people to the outside to make simple arrangements."

Yamrek immediately said dissatisfied: "Ze'an, didn't you say you didn't care? Why are you interfering now? You have to remember that in the ranking of deputy leaders of this investigation team, you are ranked below me!"
