Under Lake Geneva, the Temple of Light.

Unlike in the past, in front of the old black walnut dining table, there was a man empty on the thirteen tall chairs.

Twelve men with black half-face masks stood silently with their heads bowed.

Member of the Council of Light, Decek, the patriarch of the Collins family. Collins has fallen.

In the first battle of the battlefield in southeast China, the second-order powerhouses of Eastern Dawn City and Doomsday Phoenix City joined forces to raid the Collins family barracks, and Derek was killed on the spot.

As soon as Derek died, the Collins army was defeated and pursued by the Twilight army, killing all but a few troops who escaped from Chinese territory.

The Collins family suffered more than 80% of the family's armed forces as a result of this battle.

"End of silence." Ignaz looked up slowly.

Ignaz swept across the faces of the other councillors with a blank expression. The black half-face mask obscured most of his expression, but from the pursed lips or the slightly upturned corners of his mouth, he could still judge the true attitude of each councillor towards Derek's death.

Ignaz shook his head secretly and said in a deep voice, "The Collins family has re-elected the patriarch and applied to the council to inherit the position of Councilor Derek. ”

"Derek's body hasn't been recovered yet, and the new patriarch has been chosen, and they're really anxious!" Du Peng said in a strange way.

"The seats of the members of the parliament have always been assessed according to the strength of the family, and if the current strength of the Collins family inherits the position of Derrick, some marginal families outside the parliament may disagree." The patriarch of the Merovingian family said slowly.

"Alright, let's vote directly on whether the new patriarch of the Collins family can inherit Derek's parliamentary qualifications." Ignaz did not want to continue the discussion on this topic.

"Disagree."

"Disagree."

......

All of the Bright Councillors spoke out one by one, and all of them overwhelmingly opposed the new patriarch of the Collins family to succeed Derek as a councilor.

This is the cruelty of politics! It's not that the Collins don't have one or two good allies in Parliament, it's that when the big picture is decided, no one will fight for a family that has become weak. Instead, until a new successor family is formed, the share of resources that originally belonged to the Collins family will be divided into twelve equal parts.

Ignaz directly announced the parliamentary resolution, "Congressman Derek has fallen, and the position of a member of the Bright Council is temporarily vacant." All marginal families are officially informed that in this end-time war, the most successful families will be granted vacant councillors. ”

Ignaz paused, "Alicia, you privately tell the new patriarch of the Collins family. If the Collins family were to excel in the war, the Council would give priority to the Collins family to succeed Derek as a member. ”

This is the cruelty of the Illuminati, and perhaps the root of their long-standing strength.

Nothing comes without a price, and the Collins simply have no respite and recuperation. After just experiencing a fiasco, the family members who survived were immediately thrown into an even more tragic battle. If you win, you may regain your former glory; Defeated, the whole family is on the verge of destruction.

Closing the issue, Ignaz continued: "I said a few months ago that we have encountered the biggest challenge. Derek's fall is only the beginning of a crisis, and the situation we faced was worse than it was a few months ago. ”

This time, none of the councillors present refuted, and some even lowered their heads, all of whom knew what the current crisis of the Illuminati was.

With the heavy losses of the Astor family and the Fellman family in Russia, plus the Van Duyin family and the Russell family who were reinforced later, one-third of the military force of the Illuminati was dragged into Eastern Europe and could not advance an inch, and they had to guard against the counterattack of the bloody tsar at all times.

The other third of the forces were dragged into China, and the Rothschilds, Onassiss, and Lee families, although they had the upper hand in the war against Phoenix, were unable to completely defeat each other.

The Merovingian family is responsible for the stability of the central region of Europe, the Dupont family has been clearing the resistance in northern Europe, the Reynaud family is responsible for the development of South Asia and Southeast Asia, the Kennedy family is focusing on the penetration of the American continent, and the power of the Rockefeller family is constantly extending to Africa.

The Illuminati could no longer draw more military forces to support the Russian and Chinese battlefields, and with the exception of the Merovingians, who were relatively stable in the heart of Europe, the progress of the other families was not going well.

The vast Illuminati extend its tentacles to the entire world, but any problem at any point could have a chain reaction of collapse. For example, the Collins family has lost tens of thousands of Southeast Asian troops in China this time, and several Southeast Asian countries have a tendency to get out of control, and the Renault family is making every effort to deal with the aftermath.

"I would now like to hear the views of parliamentarians on how parliament can turn around the current unfavourable situation as soon as possible." Ignaz's grim gaze swept over the councillors again.

"I think the war in China should be brought to an end as soon as possible, what is the King of Light doing? The military forces of the three families gathered still can't completely defeat the Phoenix army? Du Pont unexpectedly took aim at the King of Light.

Alicia suddenly sneered, "Instead of asking what the King of Light is doing, why don't you ask what you are doing?" It's been three years since the rebels were cleared, and some families are thinking of feeding war with war, right? ”

"Alicia, what do you mean? Since this is the case, it is better for us to change it, while you are reaping the benefits of your respective families, it is the Dupont family who is doing the dirty work for you to maintain the stability of the rear. ”

Alicia was about to retort, but Ignaz reached out to stop her, "Don't argue uselessly, what the council needs is a solution to the problem." ”

The Merovingian patriarch took Ignaz's words and said, "Dupont may have been a little hasty in his expression, but he was in the right direction. We really should prioritize solving the problems of the Chinese battlefield, so that at least one family's military power can be pumped out. ”

Ignaz nodded. Because it was a traditional European royal family, the Merovingian patriarch rarely considered the self-interest of the family.

"Defeating Doomsday Phoenix may not be as easy as the Council thinks, and the King of Light may have other troubles or hidden secrets?" The patriarch of the Li family said suddenly.

"Edgar, what do you mean?" Ignaz looked at the Li family patriarch with some confusion.

"We all know that the King of Light damaged the blade 'Scorching Sun Judgment' in the first battle with the Phoenix City Lord Chi Hua, in fact, the Light King has already lost that battle, and the Light King has hidden the situation of the second battle with the Phoenix City Lord from the Council."

Edgar's words followed a whisper, and it was clear that everyone was not taking the situation lightly.

"Are you saying that the King of Light and Chi Hua have a second fight?"

"It was the time when the King of Light hunted the third-order fierce beast, although he sent someone to send the fierce beast materials back, he didn't report that Chi Hua also appeared at the hunting scene at that time?"

"Why didn't the King of Light report?" Ignaz asked quickly.

"That's where the suspicion lies. For the sake of the third-order fierce beast, it is impossible for the King of Light not to make a move with Chi Hua, if the King of Light wins, it is impossible for him not to report, but if he loses, how can he obtain the third-order fierce beast materials? ”

"Didn't the Shadow Army have any relevant information back?" After Ignaz said this, he suddenly turned his head to look at the empty corner.

"Sir, no." A bland voice came from around the corner, but still no one appeared.

"Don't forget, hunting the third-order beast is a joint operation of the Shadow King and the Light King." Edgar suddenly chased after him.

"How did the Li family get this information?" A patriarch suddenly thought of the suspicion.

"Our family's army is in China, and in the first year of the last days, the family has an evolutionary who entered China, and we have our own intelligence sources." There was a hint of pride in Edgar's tone.

The council fell silent for a moment, and a king of light who was out of control was the most terrifying! What's more, along with him, there are also the eyes and ears of the parliament and the secret force "Shadow Army" to conceal this news.

"I don't know what's going on, but I don't believe the King of Light would betray the Council." Alicia was the first to break the silence of the parliament.

"I also believe in the King of Light." It was the Merovingian patriarch who spoke.

"I have no intention of doubting the King of Light, but I am just stating the suspicions of this matter, after all, this matter may affect the entire war situation in China. I have a suggestion that may reassure the Parliament. Edgar continued.

The eyes of all the councillors were on the Li family patriarch.

"I think the council is most worried about the fact that the King of Light may have some kind of private agreement with Phoenix, and if one party disappears, this agreement will naturally not exist."

"What do you mean?"

"The council directly issued an order to the King of Light, asking him to eliminate the Phoenix army and Chi Hua at any cost within a month." Edgar said in a tough tone.

"What if the King of Light is defeated?" Du Peng suddenly asked rhetorically.

"I think we need to use that weapon, and only the King of Light can use it. If the King of Light had used that weapon, there would not have been such a situation as you said? ”

Edgar's tone was flat, but the atmosphere in the council was unusually solemn.

Ignaz pondered for a long time and said slowly, "Maybe this is the only way. ”

"Break up." There was a hint of weariness in Ignaz's voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute." Suddenly, a voice came from the empty corner again, "Although the Shadow Army has no information about the King of Light recently, another interesting piece of information has been sent back, and I think the councilors may be interested." ”

"Go on."

"The snowy mountain has been dug up, and the corpses of Philip and the others will be transported back soon, but the corpse of the Snowman King and the Divine Stone have not been found."

The parliament fell silent again......
