The discord and struggle for power at the top level are actually only one factor. The other factor is the lack of unity of opinion.
What constitutes an apocalypse, how should the apocalypse come, and what should the new world order after the apocalypse be like? Even within the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, there is still no clear statement.
As the supreme leader of the Illuminati, the Death Knight believes that the so-called apocalypse is to use various means to bring the world into a final catastrophe. The old world will collapse in this catastrophe. Next, establish a human god on the ruins of the old world. Country. Replace all ideologies, doctrines, systems and laws with the will of God.
This is also the impression that the Illuminati has left on the outside world for many years. However, there are not without different voices within.
Cang Yao belongs to the moderate group. He believes that the world will only become more and more stable. No one has the ability to cause the ultimate catastrophe. The mission of the Illuminati should be to exert influence on the world secretly. Let the world order gradually move towards what the Illuminati wants. This is the true meaning of "apocalypse". As for the so-called "kingdom of gods on earth", it is just an ideal. Even if it can be realized, it will be too long ago.
The war knights and the death knights are consistent. This is a starting point for the conflict between the war knights and Cang Yao. Cang Yao does not dare to directly confront the death knights. However, he does not take the war knights seriously.
Due to the failure to open the seventh seal, the Illuminati high-level officials were dispersed around the world. This was originally a proposal from Cang Yao. The reason given by Cang Yao at the time was that doing so was conducive to accumulating strength. In fact, it had a deeper purpose. That is You can use your own abilities to realize your pursuits more conveniently. Even if other high-level officials plan to cause chaos in the future, at least you have this three-thirds of an acre of land and will not be affected.
In front of so many people, Binglong couldn't say all this. He just told these elders: "Since Lord Cang Yao has decided, you just need to follow it."
Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes."
"Sir..." Binglong bowed down and reminded softly: "Actually, there is one more thing. That is your new classmates. We should find out who they are."
"Didn't I tell you..." Cang Yao said a little impatiently: "I have my own way."
Minghai Airport. A charter flight from Europe landed slowly. More than 300 passengers disembarked.
These passengers include all races and skin colors, but the majority are Orientals. They are uniformly dressed in black suits. They walk out of the aisle in neat steps, like a long black queue, swimming slowly in the airport, attracting everyone's attention.
The security personnel at the airport were also alerted. All personnel were immediately on duty to closely guard against possible emergencies. They formed a tunnel, sandwiched these people, and watched nervously.
But these people didn't say anything or did anything. They just came straight outside the airport. The leader among them was a tall, fit middle-aged man wearing a pair of sunglasses.
When he came to the parking lot, he looked up at the sky, crossed his hands in front of his abdomen, and stood there steadily, as if waiting for someone. Others stopped as well, without saying a word to each other. The atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
Drivers who were soliciting customers in the parking lot came over one after another and asked carefully: "Sir, do you want a car?" These people ignored them. The drivers found that they could not do business and left after a while. I watched them from a distance and guessed the origins of these people.
More than half an hour later, the second chartered flight landed. More than 300 people got off from above. Another half an hour later, the third chartered flight also arrived. Finally, the entire parking lot was filled with these men in black.
Looking down from the terminal building, I saw a dark parking lot. There were more people than cars.
The drivers soliciting customers found that even if they all went into battle, they would not be able to attract so many customers. Moreover, these people had serious expressions and seemed to want to cause trouble. In order to avoid being in trouble, they drove out of the parking lot one after another and looked for other customers. Stop at a certain place and come back to watch the fun.
These people still didn't speak. After a while, a taxi drove over. Dai Yunjie got off.
"Elder Yi Zhantian..." Dai Yunjie ran over quickly. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "I'm sorry. There was a traffic jam on the road. I was late..."
"It doesn't matter." Yi Zhantian pointed to the taxi that was driving away quickly: "Don't you have your own car?"
"Haha..." Dai Yunjie smiled awkwardly: "As you know, Mr. Elder, the Holy See does not pay much attention to China. So our funds are very limited..."
"Then there are so many of us. How do you plan to take them away?"
"I..." Dai Yunjie became more and more ashamed. He felt that he was not like a person with powers assigned to the Holy See, but more like an ordinary wage earner: "I rented a few buses."
"Okay." Yi Zhantian nodded: "We are on our way now. The others have settled down. You take me to see Elder Ling Cang."
Dai Yunjie was about to speak when several police cars drove over. A dozen policemen got off and ran over quickly: "Who are you?"
Yi Zhantian replied calmly: "Tourists."
"Please show your ID..." The police received the call. They heard that someone was going to cause trouble. They rushed over quickly. When they arrived at the scene, they saw that there were so many people. They immediately became nervous. Several policemen checked their IDs. In addition, Several people began to contact the headquarters so that they could quickly request reinforcements if an incident occurred.
Because there were too many people, it was impossible for the police to check everyone's ID, so they only picked out a few dozen people. Yi Zhantian waited patiently for a while, and then asked, "Can we go?"
These people's documents were legal and there were no suspicious signs. The police had no right to stop them from leaving, let alone arrest them. So they nodded: "Okay."
"Thank you." Yi Zhantian left these two words and left with a group of people first. Others left the parking lot from another direction. Others were taken away by Dai Yunjie.
Everyone left the parking lot in batches. The police looked at their backs and breathed a sigh of relief. One of the policemen muttered: "Who are these people? They all have such a strong aura..."
"I don't know." The police officer leading the team shook his head: "As long as they are not fugitives and don't make trouble, it doesn't matter what their background is."
Let’s talk about Dai Yunjie and Yi Zhantian later. They settled everyone down first, and then went to No. 1 Middle School together.
It was just noon. Lingcang went back to the apartment to take a nap. As soon as he entered the house, Dai Yunjie and Yi Zhantian knocked on the door.
"Elder..." Dai Yunjie stood aside, pointed at Yi Zhantian and introduced respectfully: "This is the person in charge of Chinese affairs who has just been appointed by the Holy See... Elder Yi Zhantian."
"Oh. Hello. Please come in." Ling Cang was very enthusiastic, but his heart opened up. The Holy See sent a person with the same level as himself. I don't know what the plan was. If the power of the Holy See is determined by this in the future, Yi Zhantian is the commander. That means that his rights have been weakened.
"Elder Ling, I am a straightforward person, so I won't say any polite words. Let's get down to business." Yi Zhantian sat down and told Ling Cang in a very serious tone: "The bloody battles in the past few days have caused the Holy See to suffer. It was a huge loss. Fortunately, Elder Ling was present, but we were able to recover some of it, and the whole army was not wiped out. Therefore, Master Krauchen asked me to convey my gratitude to you."
"We are all our own people..." Ling Cang waved his hand and said, "To say thank you is a bit foreign."
"The elder is too humble." After a pause, Yi Zhantian continued: "Now, an important issue we must face is that there is a powerful force of the Illuminati hidden in China. In addition, this country is also a target of global interests in the future. The top priority. Otherwise, the War Knights would not be able to come. In view of these two factors, the Holy See decided to comprehensively strengthen its forces in China and allocated a large amount of funds."
"Oh." Ling Cang just nodded without commenting.
"I have two things to announce..." Yi Zhantian took a look and saw that Ling Cang's expression was dull. He couldn't tell the emotional fluctuations in his heart: "First of all, Bishop Dai Yunjie was promoted to elder. This is to commend those who have served in the past few years. During the bloody battle that day, Elder Dai was able to remain calm at all times and handle the aftermath in a safe manner."
When Dai Yunjie heard this, he stood up a little flattered: "Thank you to the Holy See and Mr. Krauchen." He knew it very well in his heart. At that time, it was all thanks to Ling Cang's timely stop that he could get this promotion. So he submitted to Ling Cang. A grateful glance.
"Because many brothers have died, the Holy See has been holding mourning activities in the past few days. In this case, everything should be kept simple. It is not suitable to hold a formal canonization ceremony. I hope Elder Dai can understand."
Dai Yunjie put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "I understand."
"Another thing is that from now on, there will be three elders on the Chinese side..." Yi Zhantian suddenly stopped when he said this.
Ling Cang didn't expect Dai Yunjie to be promoted, so he was more concerned about who would have the final say in the future. But Yi Zhantian didn't say it directly, and Ling Cang wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
On the other hand, Ling Cang felt a little emotional. Although the Holy See's bureaucratic habits were very heavy, there was still a way to buy people's hearts.
The sudden arrival of the war knights brought such heavy losses. Many people would be furious. However, the Holy See did not hold anyone accountable. Instead, it promoted Dai Yunjie. This approach made it difficult for people to find fault. They can only be grateful and will do their best in the future. Allegiance to the Holy See.
Although he only received one verbal commendation but did not receive a promotion, Ling Cang could understand.
