"Tomorrow, the Order Elder Council will officially convey this divine decree to all churches in the world. Any existence that dares to assist the Palmyra religion will be regarded as an enemy of order!"

The atmosphere in the conference hall had already solidified, not because everyone deliberately restrained their emotions, but because their emotions had found the most suitable outlet.

At this moment, Karun thought of his own evil dog.

When he first learned about the church, Karun had wondered what the difference was between true gods and evil gods. Later, he was told that:

When a more dominant existence judges you as an evil god, then you are an evil god.

This has nothing to do with whether you are good or evil.

Just like at this moment,

Archbishop Wofflen was reading the divine decree issued by the Order Elder Council. There were two judgments inside, judging Palmyra God as an evil god and Palmyra religion as an evil religion.

The existence attribute of the weak is actually judged by the strong.

Looking around, the eyes of the priests of the Order Church were solemn flames, while the priests of the Palmyra religion were all desperate.

The former changed from anger to a kind of restraint, as if watching an opponent who had been locked up;

The latter did not shout hysterically, "Why?" "How?" "How could you?" It seemed that all their strength, both physical and mental, had been taken away.

How many people chose to enter the church circle to avoid reality, but did not know that no matter how much faith and doctrine they adorned, no matter how many times they repented, they could not redeem an original sin-weakness.

Karun felt that if the Palmyra religion could be stronger, strong enough to a certain extent, this divine decree might still exist, it would not be changed, but it would be deleted.

For example, the first and second items would be retained, but the declaration of war in the third item might be deleted.

They will try to defame you, but they will not really declare war on you.

In addition to these emotions, Karun was also a little curious, is there still a reward for his security mission on this side?

The protected target has become the arrested target. Does this security mission still count?

Black light and shadow began to rotate above the conference hall, and black shadows were reflected on the walls of the conference hall. They were the maintainers of the formation of the Ankara Hotel.

Their appearance was a kind of deterrence, to tell the Palmyra religion personnel present who was in charge here.

Any resistance at this time will become meaningless.

"Ding... ding... ding..."

The elevator doors on this floor were all opened, and a group of figures wearing black armor entered the conference hall with the sound of neat metal rubbing.

Karun also saw the figure of Captain Neo at the door, which meant that the security mission had ended, and the hidden security personnel could show up.

Darius raised his hand and said:

"I hope to have an opportunity to explain and clarify."

Then, he faced the Palmyra religion people in the conference hall:

"I believe that the truth will come, and I believe that the charges on us can be cleared, so before the truth comes, I hope you don't resist, please believe me, please believe in the great Palmyra God.

The letter from God is on its way!"

Is this just a show? Karun didn't know.But Karun could see that the words of the godson were like giving a step to all the members of the Palmyra sect present. No one chose to resist and they were all handcuffed and escorted out.

Karun didn't need to do anything in this process, but when figures in black armor passed by him one by one, he would be curious about the knight emblem on their armor.

From the second knight group to the twelfth knight group, these armored beings did not belong to the same system as everyone present. If placed on a national level, all other departments, including the Order Whip where Karun was, belonged to the administrative department, which could be divided into many types and had many functions. However, these black armor belonged exclusively to the "military."

The military was directly under the Elder Senate of the Order of the Gods, and would not participate in any work in peacetime.

These people were not in active service, but more like reserve garrisons stationed in local areas after retirement. Once the church war broke out, they would be quickly replenished into new knight groups to go to war.

By then, personnel from various departments would be called up for military service, and the Order Whip would be at the forefront, becoming a part of the war machine. But the sequence of these garrisons would still be ahead of the Order Whip.

It was normal not to see the emblem of the first knight group, because in the Order of the Gods' twelve knight groups, the combat effectiveness of the first knight group was recognized as the strongest. However, their absence in the reserve garrisons was not because they were not powerful, but because all members of the first knight group were... lying in coffins.

All members of the Palmyra sect in the conference room were escorted away. They were not prisoners, but in a state of war, they were prisoners of war.

Even the godson Delius was handcuffed, and because of his special identity, he was also subjected to a set of shackles to restrict him in all directions. When he was escorted past Karun, he stopped and nodded to Karun, seeming to thank him for taking care of him these past few days.

Then, all the other personnel left one after another, but there was hardly any nervous or anxious mood on the faces of the people in the Order of the Gods, because even if there was an accident with the seventh knight group, the foundation of order was still strong, and there was no need to worry about the issue of victory or defeat in the war against the Palmyra sect.

Outside the conference room, the Neo team gathered here.

Including Richard, who also walked out of the elevator.

Karun noticed that Fanny and Peinuo had put on a pair of silver masks. He also had one. After entering the hotel, Fanny gave him a newly customized silver mask, but Karun left the mask in the room.

The reason for forgetting was simple, he had one that he carried with him, so he slightly turned sideways and pretended to put on the mask, and then touched his ring, a silver mask appeared on Karun's face.

Karun felt like he was performing "face-changing," and it was really an ancestral skill.

After the team gathered, under the leadership of the captain, everyone walked out of the hotel.

"During the war, according to the war regulations, all Order Whip teams need to ensure half a day of mobilization efficiency," Neo spoke up.

"Yes, Captain."

"Yes, Captain."

"During this time, everyone has worked hard, disband and rest."The team disbanded, and the captain didn't say how the security task rewards would be settled. No one would ask at this time. They were all fighting, and it was meaningless to calculate this. After all, it was a special situation.

Richard pointed to the VIP car and said, "I have packed all the luggage in your room and put it in the car, including Karun's sword. It's really heavy."

"Good boy," Peina patted Richard's head and signaled everyone to get in the car. "Come on, I'll take you home. Oh, captain, are you going too?"

Everyone else had left, but the captain was still here, which was not in line with his usual style. After the team disbanded, the captain was usually the first to leave. He was the one who was most eager to get off work every time. Of course, this was also one of the reasons why the captain was loved by the team members. Who doesn't like a leader who dislikes overtime?

"Okay," Neo replied.

Karun opened the car door for the captain, and everyone got in the car.

This VIP car could be used as a public or private car for a day. It needed to be returned tomorrow morning. This car was not only expensive in the market, but also modified by the Order of the God of Order. It had a formation and protection inside.

The car brand had nothing to do with the production of the car. The appearance was designed to facilitate the execution of tasks in the secular world.

Peina drove the car, and Neo, Karun, Richard, and Vanny were inside.

"Captain, should I take you home first?" Peina asked.

"Take you home first."

"How can the driver go home first?" Peina smiled.

"This is an order."

"Yes, captain."

Richard looked left and right. Because everyone was wearing masks, he couldn't tell their expressions, but he sensed something unusual.

Karun also sensed something unusual. In any case, it was not right for Peina to be the first to go home.

Soon, they arrived at Peina's home, an old apartment. Not everyone likes to live in big houses. Some people even have enough conditions but still prefer old small houses with special bonds.

"Who will continue driving? I'm home," Peina got off the car.

"I'll drive," Richard volunteered.

The captain looked at Karun and said, "Get off the car, knock Peina down, and make her bleed."

"..." Karun.

"This is an order."

"Yes, captain."

Karun couldn't understand this order, but he decided to execute it. He believed that Neo must have a purpose for asking him to do so. The most important thing was that he was only going to make her bleed, not kill her.

Peina, who had just got off the car, was planning to wait for her teammates to leave before going back in. But she saw Karun get off the car with the sword of Achilles and come towards her.

"Are you here to send me off, Karun?"

Karun continued to walk towards Peina, putting the sword on the ground, and sparks flew out. The meaning was simple: I'm going to attack you.

Peina didn't defend or back off, and just asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Karun tilted his body and made a gesture of swinging the sword, which meant he was going to attack.

Peina still didn't defend herself and asked, "What are you doing?"

Karun swung the sword at Peina, not with the blade, but with the body of the sword.

"Bang!"

Peina was knocked down by Karun's sword, and she still couldn't believe it, "You're crazy!"Karun followed and struck Peinao, who was lying on the ground, with another sword.

Peinao still didn't fight back, only using her arms to block.

"Bang!"

Even though Karun didn't use the power of the Dark Moon Blade, the weight of the Achilles Sword alone, combined with inertia, caused Peinao to be injured by the shockwave, with blood flowing from her mouth.

But this time, she didn't ask Karun what to do, because Karun had already struck two more swords, but the people in the car, especially the captain, didn't react much.

Seeing Peinao bleeding, Karun sheathed his sword, nodded at her, not knowing what the gesture meant, but he had to apologize for hurting her.

Turning around, Karun dragged the Achilles Sword back into the car.

The car started, and Richard asked nervously, "Are we going to my house?"

Richard mistakenly thought this was the post-mission activity for the Hound Squad.

Neo spoke up, "West Water Street Bowling Alley."

"Okay, Captain."

Hearing that they weren't going to his house, Richard breathed a sigh of relief.

The VIP car arrived at West Water Street, and because it wasn't the weekend and it was still noon, there weren't many people in the bowling alley.

But on one lane, two people were playing, it was Maluo and Ge Rui.

"It's really interesting, the captain actually invited us to play bowling."

After speaking, Maluo threw the ball and knocked down all the pins, but it was on the next lane.

"Oh no." Maluo was embarrassed, and tried to make up for it, "I added extra difficulty for myself."

Ge Rui ignored him and looked over at Karun, who was walking towards them with the Achilles Sword.

Most importantly, Karun was still carrying the Achilles Sword.

Maluo sensed the commotion, looked up and shouted, "The captain invited you to play too?"

Karun walked up to the two of them with his sword and said, "I'm going to make you bleed, who's first?"

The two were stunned.

Maluo scratched his head and laughed, "Is this called internal strife? Even if it is, it shouldn't be so direct, right?"

"I'll go first," Ge Rui said.

"Okay." Karun agreed and asked, "Will you resist?"

Ge Rui shook her head, "Just make me bleed? Then I won't resist, anyway, I can't beat you now."

"Okay, stand still."

"Okay, I'm standing still."

Karun swung the Achilles Sword and played golf in the bowling alley, Ge Rui was knocked out and fell on the lane, clutching her chest and spitting out blood.

Immediately after, Karun looked at Maluo and nodded, meaning it was his turn.

Maluo immediately stood up and said, "I'm a formation mage, not as tough as Ge Rui, so be gentle."

"I think the captain is sending you to collect a favor." Maluo seemed to realize something and replied.

"You can start counting down, three numbers."

"Okay, okay, three..."

"Bang!"

Maluo was knocked out and fell near Ge Rui, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

After Karun finished, he waved to the two and picked up a bottle of soda that had been opened but not drunk, holding the sword hilt in his right hand and the soda in his left, drinking and walking out of the bowling alley.

But he saw Richard and Fanny standing outside the car, while the captain sat at the car door.

"Captain, as you ordered, they all bled.""Mhmm." Neo nodded and said, "Let's drive."

Karen looked at Richard and Fanny. Richard spoke up, "The captain told us to go back on our own."

"Oh, okay."

Karen didn't know what the captain was up to, but based on what Marlow had said earlier, he should have an idea. He just didn't bother to ask.

It would be like asking someone you just beat up, "Can you please tell me why I had to beat you up?" It just seemed petty.

Karen put the Sword of Achilles in the car and sat in the driver's seat. He started the luxury car and asked, "Captain, where are we going?"

"The Ivy Cemetery."

"Okay, Captain."

After driving for a distance, Karen took the initiative to ask, "Captain, why did you make me beat them up?"

"To remind them."

"Remind them of what?"

"Do you know that there are many traitors in the Order of the Gods?"

"Really?"

Karen looked at Neo. He thought it was strange for the captain to say such a thing because he himself was also...

At the same time, Karen realized that he was also one of those people because he and Neo seemed to be using the same method: forging an identity in the Order of the Gods.

"There should be some in the negotiation team too."

"Who?"

"I don't know, but there must be some because in this negotiation team, the people sitting at the negotiating table should be the ones on top, but the group sitting below is a bit strange."

"Hmm?"

"Your two cellmates, Leon and Lorry, appeared in this negotiation team. This is the best proof. Such a big and serious matter, it would be enough to arrange for a young master to come in and add some prestige, but they arranged for two. This means that the tone set from above implies that the selection of the entire negotiation team has a lot of randomness, and the selection of other personnel is not as strict as before. Many people can work their way in and add a line to their resume."

"Is there a spy among them?"

"Some of them are, but some of them are not, such as the three you just beat up. However, they have close relationships with other churches and usually sell some information to earn extra money."

"So, you made me beat them up to..."

"Having blood in their mouth makes it inconvenient for them to speak."

Karen remembered what Marlow had said when he was punched away by him, "No, I think the captain is asking you to collect a favor."

"Captain, you asked me to warn them, so this time, they should keep quiet, so this matter..."

"I asked you to beat them up to skip a step, the step where I personally beat you up until you bleed."

"..." Karen.

"But I heard that you've made great progress recently."

"You're still far from catching up with the captain."

"But I'm really itching to fight."

"Captain, I know of a cream that's effective for eczema."

They arrived at the Ivy Cemetery.

Karen and Neo got out of the car. Before they entered the administrator's house, they heard music playing inside.

They pushed open the door.

Karen saw Old Suman playing a new flute, while Alfred had a radio on the ground and was matching the rhythm.It was obvious that Old Suman was having a great time, with a smile beaming on his face.

Seeing Karun and Nio enter, Old Suman stopped playing.

Alfred stood up and moved aside.

Old Suman sighed and said, "Is the negotiation over? It seems that my funeral is about to begin."

Karun spoke up, "The Order of God has declared war on the Church of Pamires."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint appeared in Old Suman's eyes, and his aura suddenly changed. At this moment, he seemed like a fierce beast that had broken free from its chains, ready to devour people!

"I won't fight you, but you can tell me where the new church building has been set up. I don't know who did it the first time, but I can go and tear it down again."

"Heh..."

Nio chuckled:

"Keep preparing for your own funeral."
