The Dragon Worship Cult is a global organization with branches all over Terra, and even branches in the New World. Its internal membership is very complex, but generally speaking, it is divided into 'dragon-blooded ones' and 'true ones'.
Dragons and intelligent dragon beasts, and non-dragon-blooded ones are three major parts.
Among them, those with dragon blood will form small organizations internally depending on the country and region they are in. True dragons and intelligent dragon beasts act alone in family units, while those with non-dragon blood are those who tend to be secretive in public perception.
A member of a mysterious organization will hide in deep mountains and forests or remote small towns to conduct mysterious research. Once some results are obtained, it will cause harm to the surrounding areas.
Although it is said to be a Dragon Worshiping Sect, even true dragons do not receive preferential treatment within the Dragon Worshiping Sect because of their status, but mostly because of their strength. Their goal is generally to use the Dragon Worshiping Sect's long-standing accumulation of resources.
Research to improve your own power, or do some research for your dependents like the wrong steel dragon.
Dragonbloods are similar to intelligent dragon beasts, such as Elder Manya and Ian. They both hope to obtain the power or knowledge of true dragons.
People without dragon blood aim to become dragon blood people.
These are the three major strata within the Dragon Worship Cult.
There are not many real dragons in the Dragon Worship Cult within the empire, and they are mainly organized by different dragon-blooded organizations. On the Nanling side, the Mountain King is more directly affiliated with Dragon Island and is the dragon guard guarding the wrong steel dragon treasure.
His relationship with the Dragon Cult is more personal, as he wants to obtain technology to heal his children, so his connection with the empire is not close.
This is actually a relatively rare situation.
The core figure of the Dragon Worship Cult in the northern part of the empire is the Dragon-Blooded Earl of the Paxico family. His relationship with the Dragon Worship Cult is a well-known secret, and this fourth-level powerhouse can basically be said to be the Empire Worshiper.
The core figure of the Dragon Cult is also the main channel of communication between the empire and the Dragon Worship Cult.
The same is true in other regions. As a global religion that is not one of the orthodox religions, the Dragon Worship Cult can comfortably exist and continue their experiments and plans precisely because their branches are closely connected with officials in various places.
This is a common situation. Therefore, for the branches of the Dragon Worship Cult in various places, the Dragon Worship Cult in other regions, in addition to having the same name as the Dragon Worship Cult, may cooperate and exchange information in certain experiments.
Outside, we are strangers most of the time.
Even if they attack each other, it's not unusual.
Just like now.
The elite members of the Canaanite Moorish Dragon Worshiping Cult, the Feiyan Land Dragon Worshiping Cult, and even the Cangtian Royal Court Dragon Worshiping Cult, the Three Kingdoms branch, all gathered in the border city of Nanling of the Setar Empire, inside an oyster breeding factory.
In the small room, they planned to join forces to kill another member of the Dragon Cult.
If Ian knew this, he would definitely be surprised - it is normal for the Flying Flame Dragon Cult to want to kill him. If nothing else, the "Glade" he had threatened would definitely do so if he had the chance.
Take action.
The Canaanite Moorish Dragon Worship Cult should be related to Anfa.
But where did the Cangtian Royal Court come from? They are an inland grassland country, where did they find the channel to send people to this coastal city?
This also starts with the political struggle within the Canaanites.
Since Canaan Moore and the Cangtian Royal Court ended their century-long military confrontation nine years ago, driven by the peace factions on both sides, trade and exchanges between the two sides have continued to increase.
Although the people were extremely discordant, as far as the Dragon Worship Cult was concerned, they did not care about nationalism or the trauma of past wars, so they quickly launched bilateral cooperation.
But the faction that Anfa belongs to is not a faction that cooperates with the Cangtian Royal Court.
The supporters behind both sides are the two major political parties of Canaan and Moore respectively. The relationship cannot be said to be incompatible, it can only be said to be life and death.
This assassination attempt on Ian was a provocation by the enemies of Anfa's faction to warn Anfa.
After careful investigation, they determined that Anfa had made considerable gains from the Nanling Dragon Worship Sect.
The Xiahui Territory where Ian is located has also shown extremely amazing development potential after receiving a large amount of food aid from Anfa.
This is also due to Ian’s investment promotion some time ago.
The work was done so well that many elven chambers of commerce came to Xiahui Ling for inspection, and all of them gave very high evaluations.
After the news was known to Anfa's enemies, it immediately attracted their attention and even shocked them.
They believe that Xiahui Territory is Anfa's important long-term investment in the empire. When Ian's territory develops, Anfa's voice as an important early investor will be greatly increased.
This is intolerable.
The simplest way to destroy Anfa's plan is to kill Ian as the lord.
In Terra, the development of the territory is naturally centered on the lord, and the death of people and the death of government is the norm.
Of course, this kind of plan is definitely better than assassinating a local lord, and it is best to find a few more allies. Coincidentally, the Dragon Worship Cult on the side of Cangtian Royal Court also has an attack on the "Underground" on the other side of Canaan Moore's Half Moon Lake.
"The ruins are of great interest.
In addition, the target was an Imperial person, and as the feuding royal family members, it was natural for them to send out a team of reinforcements.
As for Feiyandi, is there any need to say that? If they don’t kill Ian, they really can’t swallow this breath!
As for why the joint team of the Three Kingdoms Dragon Worship Cult, which sounds very high-end, is nestled in an extremely narrow coastal breeding factory that exudes a strong fishy smell.
The answer is actually very simple.
Their ship was hit and sunk.
In the South China Sea, there are many reasons why a ship sinks.
For example, if you encounter a storm or ocean turbulence, it is due to poor management of the crew.
But if it was said to have been hit and sunk, then there is only one possibility.
They were attacked by monsters.
"hateful!"
During the meeting to discuss how to attack Ian, a representative of the Canaanite Dragon Cult, an elf with long light silver hair, hammered the table angrily: "If it hadn't been for that damn steel-armored shark that sunk my...
Ship. We can even dispatch sniper magic missiles for long-range sniping!"
"Now, we can only look for opportunities and attack head-on."
At this point, the elf gritted his teeth with hatred: "My ship, my support, my funds."
Obviously, he hated the steel-armored shark that hit him without any reason - if he couldn't beat it in the water, he wouldn't have cared about Ian, he would have taken the killer shark with him!
Far away, the far sea of the South China Sea.
【Oh oh oh oh!!!】
A bright flashing shark shadow is happily cutting through the waves, moving forward into the wind, looking for enemies and enemy ships that dare to invade its territory!
Shark, you are still charging happily today, looking for today’s prey!
Especially knowing that his boss is about to return.
Shark Shark’s enthusiasm during this period has been three times that of usual!
"Don't worry too much, my friend."
The representative of the Cangtian Royal Court is a strong man with horse ears and a long whip beard, and his face is covered with tattoos.
He said solemnly: "According to our intelligence, this lord and his guards have only recently become the second level."
"Even though they are all geniuses, they have stabilized their realm and mastered new abilities in just a few months, but they are definitely not masters."
"As long as we make sure that the third-level true dragon in their territory is not hidden in the convoy, we can directly attack and crush them!"
"Hmph. Don't underestimate each other."
The representative of Feiyandi was also the black-haired swordsman "Glade" whom Ian had met before. He snorted coldly and was rather disdainful of the opinions of the other two representatives: "The lord of Xiahui Territory is a real genius.
He may indeed have just mastered the true form of his bloodline, but when it comes to utilizing dragon blood, I'm afraid none of us can be better than him."
After being forced back by Ian and the Manya elders, Gian Ren was reprimanded by his superiors without any suspense and suffered a humiliation.
But he did not lose his calm because of this. Instead, he stayed in Nanling and quietly observed the development of Xia Hui Ling and Ian's actions.
The result shocked him quite a bit.
Not to mention the rapid development of Xia Hui Ling, Ian's strength has also improved at a speed that shocked him.
If we say that at the beginning of the confrontation, Grenade was still confident that he could defeat Ian in a head-on battle, but two months later, he was vaguely unable to use his dragon blood organ to sense Ian's source from a distance.
The quality has fluctuated.
This can only mean one thing: that is, the purity of Ian's semen has exceeded the sensing limit of his dragon blood organ!
——The purity of Ian’s source essence has probably reached the peak of the second energy level!
This is the result he came up with. Although it is incredible, for the sake of safety, it must be regarded as reality.
The Blade suspects that the function of Ian's dragon blood organ is to greatly improve the purity of the essence by compressing the essence. Although this will reduce the battery life, the improvement in combat power in a short period of time is quite amazing, and it will not be stuck in the advancement.
pace of.
This is the real reason why the other party was able to successfully break through to the second energy level at the age of sixteen!
Therefore, faced with the rather "arrogant" performance of the two allies, he kindly reminded: "I suggest that you should treat Ian as an ascendant with the peak strength of the second level."
"Moreover, when he returns to Harrison Port this time, he will definitely bring his armor, not to mention his magnetic storm armor escort team."
"Although it is not a big problem for us, it is a very difficult enemy for our subordinates."
The other two representatives of the Dragon Worship Cult were rather unconcerned with the suggestion of the Blade.
Although as allies, they can't taunt the G-blade, "You, Feiyan Land, lost, but we didn't lose, and we weren't scared out of our wits.
But their disapproving expressions and tone of voice were enough to show their disdain for Grenade's suggestion.
After all, a rural place like Nanling is really not something they can value. Apart from other things, the Lord of Harrison Port where they are, the Viscount Grant, also looks quite ordinary. He does almost everything except drinking and partying all day long.
Bao Qian is not at all like the rumors. He almost pacified the entire Sequoia Aboriginal people with one person's power, and was a strong man who blocked the fleets of the Three Kingdoms by himself.
The information was all exaggerated, so of course they wouldn't believe it all.
And what else can Grenade do? He has said everything that needs to be said, and if the other party doesn't listen, it's none of his business.
The worst case scenario is to just run away when the time comes - reputation is not as important as life.
The brief negotiation ended.
Next, what the Dragon Cult Assassination Team has to do is to continue to collect intelligence, look for opportunities, and suddenly raid Ian's convoy.
And they also made a rough action plan: as soon as Ian's convoy passes through Three Rivers City, they will take action, and then hide directly along the river into the depths of the Byson Mountains, heading to the Flying Flame Land to escape the pursuit of the empire.
There's just a problem.
Can anyone really assassinate a prophet?
"Someone is going to attack me."
Just after passing the entrance of the Indigo Mountain Gorge, Ian's eyes flashed with cyan light, and Ian, who was watching the convoy, suddenly said: "Good guy, it's quite fierce - most of the entire convoy will die. They came prepared."
"What?"
As soon as he said this, Qingchao, who was observing the surrounding situation, was suddenly startled. He immediately tried his best to sense the surroundings, but found nothing.
That's not to say there wasn't any - he caught a few brittle-bone finches and brought them back, which provided them with snacks for the rest of the afternoon.
"not now."
Ian continued to look at it for a while, then shook his head and said: "In about a few days, anyway, some time after passing Trois-Rivières, someone will attack our convoy, and the attack will be very fierce."
"Qingchao, prepare your sword and stretch your body. We need to prepare in advance."
"Boss, you"
Qingchao looked at Ian in confusion, making sure that his boss was not mentally depressed and hallucinating because he had been away from the laboratory for a long time: "How do you know? I don't doubt you and your information channels.
"But I didn't see you receiving the letter just now, boss?"
"Didn't I say that?"
Ian turned his head and glanced at Qingchao: "I am the prophet of thunder. Is it strange that the prophet knew in advance that someone was going to attack? Rather, it is strange that he could be attacked."
Qingchao showed a complicated expression that said, "You're a prophet, I'm a prophet. There must be some signs that I was stupid enough to not notice." This made Ian sigh: "Anyway, I got the news."
"Qingchao, when you arrive at Sanhe City, let the team rest. The two of us will go for a walk in the countryside to give the enemy a chance. Now, inform the Viscount and tell him that there is a great achievement for him, and ask him to prepare his ether weapons at any time.
Get ready to go."
"No problem." Although I still don't know how Ian knew there was
People will attack him, but the advantage of Qingchao is that no matter how confused he is, he will still try his best to complete the task entrusted by Ian.
However, he was still a little confused: "But what if Viscount Grant doesn't believe it?"
"He will definitely believe it. Fuel is not expensive anyway."
Ian said calmly: "Just tell him that the attacker this time is a foreign force. I have a way to get the empire to reimburse the maintenance costs of his etheric weapons - we can also work together to trick him again and apply for another batch of aid.
.”
Having said this, the young man smiled confidently: "Don't worry, as long as it involves defrauding funds and aid."
