The road ahead

Connecting the road to the future

The result is......

Matching Point (Finale)

In a forest above the earth that is indirectly open, in the dim twilight and the remnants of the sun are like blood, a few gunshots break the unique silence of dusk, and the seemingly chaotic situation after several figures rush into the forest suddenly disappears, as if it had not existed in the first place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are two entrances to the wooded area, one on the east and one on the west, and the north and south sides are blocked by small but steep hills, which are difficult to climb through, and they are easily exposed to enemy aerial fire, so it is very convenient to enter from the east and west sides if you are carrying out encirclement and suppression work.

A group of five-member teams belonging to the Galactic Monastery chose to enter the woods from the east side, and the rest chose to detour to the west side to intercept them, and it was such a simple cooperation that all the enemies that were originally lurking in the woods were cleared.

This is not an absolute difference in combat effectiveness, but the ability of the two sides to cooperate in combat, compared to a simple siege, the priests and monks to which the monastery belongs immediately sent the information obtained to their companions; Because of the tacit understanding generated by long-term cooperation, they can understand what it means without too much verbal communication between them.

All those involved in the operation knew which points were easy to ambush, which positions were easy to snipe, which bushes were suitable for concealment, what to do when encountering the enemy, and what to do.

If a companion shoots sideways, he chooses to cover the rear of his companion, and if he is exposed to the enemy's field of vision and is attacked, he will lie down and throw out the signal transmitter to guide his companion to strike accurately; Seemingly simple coordination also requires a lot of time to be tempered, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes in the middle of the battle.

However, the above-mentioned accident did not happen, and the two groups of men and horses easily wiped out all the enemy soldiers, and specially knocked down two enemies with tranquilizer guns in order to ask for information.

Having taken care of all potential threats, they moved on to find their dying target in the grass, Bishop Ito Hibertli, who belonged to the Galactic Monastery.

Although the target was not in good shape, he reacted quickly the moment he was caught, and he didn't even have time to declare that he was a teammate.

A camouflage-uniformed soldier wearing a reinforced gas mask grabbed Ito's arm and raised his voice before being held hostage by Ito's backhand

"It's me, it's me, I'm Bebo...... Bishop Ito, you're safe now, stop locking up our teammates' arms any longer. ”

Ito listened to the familiar voice coming from under the mask, and the whole person suddenly relaxed, and the previously tense nerves seemed to be broken, and he lost his strength.

There were corpses and blood of enemy soldiers on the ground, and the woods that had been used for camping and relaxing on holidays were dyed with the smell of killing, which was completely different from the ordinary daily life of the past.

"Bishop Ito, there are priests in the enemy camp who have been serving in the monastery since then, and it seems that there are traitors in the organization."

Father Bebo and the others formed a circular formation, alert for possible enemies while waiting for vehicles from the monastery.

They didn't choose to take a ship, because ships in the sky are easy targets, so if you use ground transportation, you can go down the road to eliminate hidden dangers.

Listening to what Bebo said, Bishop Ito took a deep breath after wiping the blood from the wounds on his forehead, the corners of his mouth, the left side of his face, and his neck with the disinfectant cloth given to him by the medical staff.

The fresh air in the woods was now mixed with the unpleasant smell of blood, and while the wounds were disinfected and bandaged, Bishop Ito responded to what Bebo had just said.

"You can see that some people in the monastery are actually taking action...... These priests, though not infidels, have a completely different idea than we do, and who will support them? ”

The pain of the wound made Bishop Ito gasp, and Bebo, who was beside him, admired it very much.

The poison gas in the woods is not completely dissipated, but it is still possible to deal with some enemies in this state, and even fight back if they are caught.

"Hmph, thanks to the torture of those guys, I should have lost consciousness and woke up because of the pain; Bebo, who sent you? ”

"It's Dean Bicester."

As he said this, Bebo set up his gun and aimed it at the grass in front of him, and an animal ran out of it, feeling the killing intent, and fled quickly.

It seems that the poisonous gas in the woods is only aimed at humans, not all living things, so should it be said that it is an environmental consciousness of fear, horror, and separation?

No, if there are priests affiliated with the Galactic Monastery among the enemies, it is not surprising that some people's beliefs are not to kill.

It is said that monks are paranoid, but in fact, many gods and goddesses are paranoid, and for the sake of faith, they will stubbornly persist even in desperate situations.

"When Dean Bicester summoned us, I thought it was some kind of suppression, but I didn't expect it to be a rescue operation, and Bishop Ito would also capsize in the gutter."

"Mouthy guy...... But thanks to Dean Bicester and you, thank you here. ”

"No, no, Bishop Ito's great kindness to save us hasn't been repaid yet."

Many of the priests and monks present were helped by Bishop Ito, so they willingly participated in the rescue operation.

"The vehicle has thirty seconds to reach the designated location, and it is ready to start moving."

The soldier on the side told Bebo the information after receiving the report, and after confirming it, everyone went into action.

Bebo, who gestures, signals the team to fan and walk as far away as possible from friendly snipers who occupy high ground to get cover.

The exit from the woods was chosen on the east side this time, there were no houses near the east side, and the view was wide, so it was not easy to be ambushed, so it was more convenient to move.

As soon as I came out of the woods, I saw the vehicle that arrived at the scene, which looked like an ordinary van in appearance, but the interior had thickened armor and soft steel, and it was very resistant to hits, and the only drawback was that it was slower than ordinary vehicles.

If you want to achieve omnipotence, you have to pay a lot of money, obviously there is no need for that.

First, Bishop Ito was put in the car, and the team went up one by one, not all of them, because the rest of the people needed to clean up the scene.

In the eyes of ordinary citizens, the area of the Galaxy Monastery is always very safe in cooperation with the government, so there is absolutely no trace of it.

Cleaning up the site was a tricky task, and dealing with corpses and blood seeping into the dirt was tricky, but those were out of Bebo's responsibility, and someone else would take care of it perfectly.

As soon as Bishop Ito's vehicle left, an ambulance passed by the van, which was used to transport the bodies.

Bishop Ito, who was in the car, received regular treatment, and the rescue operation was only considered to be in full swing after his wounds were bandaged, and he only had to reach the Galactic Monastery safely.

Even the rebels in the organization would not be stupid enough to engage in a crossfire on the streets, because the consequences of doing so would be so bad that it would not be friendly to anyone.

"Bebo, how did Dean Bicester know I might be attacked?"

"I didn't ask about this, Dean Bicester just said that he had a bad premonition; In fact, it wasn't just us, but the dean had other teams to spy on the bishops, vice-presidents, and diplomats. ”

"Ominous premonition, Dean Bicester still hasn't changed...... He must have noticed something, because he was troublesome. ”

"Huh? Is it too much trouble? Probably I was trying to save time to look at something else. ”

Bishop Ito smiled and didn't say anything more.

Since a long time ago, there have been two different factions in the Galactic Monastery, and although they are both thinking about the future of the Abbey, the actions they carry out and the ideas of their essence are contrary to each other.

There will not be two owners in a fast food restaurant, and the Galaxy Monastery, as a 'storefront' that welcomes countless customers (believers), will of course want to unify its mind.

Some people want to establish a monastic-centered development community, unlike the unified religious churches that check each other, and the purpose mentioned above is to enable all participants to live an equal life;

Others are trying to create a 'cult' with the Galactic Monastery as the main body, to achieve equality through strength, and to be able to deal with those who resist.

Both sides have different ideas and have a certain meaning, but Bishop Ito believes that common development is the most reasonable approach.

Why? That's because the reason why this world, this universe can develop rapidly, is precisely because there are alien races that have outstanding performance in various fields, and if they become unified, this diversity will be submerged and become monotonous.

Of course, this idea of the interests of the group is only a small reason, and the most fundamental reason why Bishop Ito supports peaceful development is that he hates war.

Bishop Ito, who had tortured enemies and challenged the gods on the battlefield in the past, experienced the feeling of being alive and tired at the same time.

"That dangerous force must be contained, otherwise if there is a big problem and the enemy is allowed to take advantage of it, the Galactic Monastery may fall apart."

The embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, and the larger the organization, the more worried about the foundation being shaken, after all, it affects the whole body, and if a certain 'loophole' is messed up, it will bother everyone.

"But for that later, it's better for Bishop Ito to take a break."

"But there's no time left, when you go back, you call more people you trust, there aren't enough people here, and you're going to have to uproot some guys next time."

"This ...... Instead of asking for a decision from the council's side on the table? ”

The real decision-maker of the Galactic Monastery is the 'Council of Ten of the Galactic Monastery', which has lived in the Sky City for many years, or the 'Council of Ten' for short.

Some important actions and plans will be decided by them after consultation.

Hearing Father Bebo's inquiry, Bishop Ito seemed a little unconcerned, which was completely different from his usual rigorous appearance.

"Special operations are meant to be treated specially, but don't think those guys are going to do anything above board, isn't that the best example of this? In the past, two sides with different opinions could have competed for a place in the synod of the United Religious Council, so as to influence the future path of the monastery, but at this time there is no free time. ”

Bishop Ito stroked the wound with his hand and pulled up his clothes for the ambulance crew to stitch them up.

“…… Bebo, know what the hungry beast does; So instead of playing the hunter, we are going to be the beast. ”

"Since Bishop Ito still says something, I'll do it."

"By the way, give me the communication number, I'm going to contact that stinky little ghost in Yahui."

"Little brother Yahui is out there again."

As he said this, Bebo handed the phone terminal to Bishop Ito, and listened quietly to the conversation that followed.

――――

[Stinky little ghost, come back to me immediately.] 】

This was the first thing Yahui heard.

"Bishop Ito, don't urge me so much, there is already a possibility that the 'blessing' on me will be unraveled."

So what? Soon the queen from Maurice will arrive on Earth, and you'll have to be inside the Galactic Abbey if you don't return...... Never come back. 】

"Slow, slow, why are you so impatient all of a sudden? And Bishop Ito, your voice sounds a little weak...... Is there something wrong with it? ”

It was most likely an attack, Yahui guessed, otherwise Bishop Ito would not normally speak in this tone.

[You are a very stupid imp, and a very important imp, don't put your energy on meaningless places; If you really want to find out, do it quickly and come back early. 】

Something troublesome was happening at the headquarters of the Galactic Monastery, and Yahui guessed it.

"I understand, I'll go back as soon as I get the problem done; Tell me, Bishop Ito, who attacked you? ”

[Nonsense again, as for who it is, I don't know who it is, but it must be a guy who is familiar with my itinerary, and a guy who supports the establishment of a church state.] 】

"Unfortunately, I was in a similar situation, and I was attacked by some troublesome characters on the way, but it was fine...... Now I have a candidate in mind, no, a bad candidate. ”

[Let's hear it.] 】

“…………”

Yahui was silent for a moment and said what he thought, and after listening to it, Bishop Ito also fell silent.

Then the two sides hung up the phone, Yahui turned his attention to the present, and walked towards the [Tower of the Gods], Yuri and Naya, who had been treated, had already woken up, and the effect of magic was not covered.

"Alright, let's investigate!"
