Ivo secretly thought that the declaration of war by the Bloodlines to the Brotherhood would not be put on the surface, after all, with the restrictions of the "Just Entente" and the Holy See, the so-called war would only be a secret pursuit of each other, but it would be more deadly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

To be honest, Ivo is not interested in the development of the Brotherhood, and attends the meeting for two reasons, one is to avoid possible pursuers, and the second is to avoid Luna with the help of the Brotherhood's power, and the second is to be curious.

As a member of the Brotherhood halfway through, Ivo doesn't feel much of a belonging, and there are many who think the same way, and he once killed a ghoul of the Brotherhood's ancestors.

O blood, O hatred of the Night Age, O watchman of mankind...... Ivo is not cold at all about this series of things, after so many ups and downs, he is no longer the naïve guy who is full of resentment at the beginning, and indifference is only a word away from coldness.

Such a change is not good or bad, for now, the benefits of indifference are even greater, and the Northland War is like a whetstone, making his thinking sharper and more clear about his goals.

Strength, power, interests, and unraveling your own doubts.

While Ivo was distracted, the argument between the seven Brotherhood cadres gradually became fierce, and they were roughly divided into three camps, the hardliners, the compromisers, and the protracted warfighters.

Compromise: "Can't provoke a bigger conflict, after hundreds of years of cultivation, the fourteen families of the Blood Council have accumulated a lot of strength, compared to this group of immortals, we are not dominant, now that the times have changed, we should abandon the previous barbaric charter and shake hands with the blood clan, if the war continues to expand, the Brotherhood's mercenary industry will be greatly affected, our sources of funding will be cut off, the organization will suffer huge losses, and unnecessary consumption will only drag us down." ”

Iris said solemnly: "Pay attention to your wording, cadre! What you are saying now is to refute the code that the Brotherhood has adhered to for hundreds of years, the concept of the struggle of the ancestors, the foundation on which the organization was founded, and the order of the president, and you actually call the rebellion 'barbaric'?! If it weren't for the meeting, I'd cut open your head to see if it was feces!"

The hardliners slapped the table and shouted: "Forget those meaningless amounts, the so-called economy is only an insignificant part, strength is eternal, the iron-blooded constitution of the secret party cannot be changed, 'whoever starts a war should be conquered', since the bats want to fight, why should the brotherhood fight! We are not cowardly turtles, we will only shrink our heads and compromise when we encounter danger, we want to have assassins, let the blood clan see our strength, and make them suffer, Let them regret it, I believe that victory will be ours in the end, just like in the Age of Night, the Terrans are the final winners!"

"I appreciate your attitude," Iris nodded, "but you need to find your brains with the one who just spoke, everyone can shout slogans, not just a few words to decide an all-out war!"

The hardliners stiffened their necks and said, "We can't hold back because of concerns!"

Iris sneered: "That's a nice thing to say, but you don't know what to prepare for a war, and it just so happened that when I looked at the roster just now, there seemed to be one of the participants who had rich experience in war, and let the authority tell you the answer." ”

Iris turned her head and looked over the crowd to Ivo, "Sir, would you like to give me some advice?"

Ivo froze.

It's a good conversation, why did you get involved with me?

Hundreds of people all looked at Ivo with surprise in their eyes.

Bloodring personally asks the elite members, which can represent the importance of the organization, and the vast majority of elite members do not even have the right to speak at such meetings, but Ivo is hand-picked to speak.

Except for the Blood Ring, no one else knew Ivo's identity, and even if Iris asked him to speak, no one else could guess.

Ivo slowly stood up and said lightly: "Materials, soldiers, intelligence, positions, fortifications, terrain, equipment, morale, transportation, ......"

During the three-year Hoklu War, Ivo knew the basic conditions of the war like a treasure, and reported dozens of terms closely related to the war in one breath, and his speech was short and powerful.

Iris nodded in satisfaction and gave Ivo a deep look, "Thanks for sharing, please take a seat." ”

"My pleasure. Ivo sat down, and let a pair of curious eyes look at him, unmoved, unmoved.

The hardliners died down.

The protracted war faction said slowly: "We want to fight, but in a different way. ”

Iris raised his hand, "Please." ”

"First of all, the most important question, why did the Bloods suddenly declare war?"

Iris's eyes showed anticipation, "Go on." ”

"As we all know, the Bloodlines are hypocritical and cunning by nature, and they put their interests first, and they fight with the Brotherhood, and their efforts are far higher than the gains, so I conclude that they can reap the benefits from other sources, that is, the Bloods and the Brotherhood have declared war and have other behind-the-scenes forces, and given the power of the Blood Council and the Brotherhood, I can only speculate...... The Bloodline has the backing of a certain royal power. ”

"Odin, San Malo, Baiotin, the Southern Continent Federation, as for the Northern Continent and Abraham do not have to be considered. ”

"We can't let the organization turn back to the bloody hands of the night era, that will not benefit anyone, the Holy See will not sit idly by and watch the two sides go to war unscrupulously, the fourteen families are not something we can solve alone, the times have changed, the situation of the struggle is more complicated, we need to make some powerful friends and explore the way for the organization. ”

"The Order has its own strengths, we have the best assassins, hidden in the dark, and some big people are willing to bid for it, like a gardener who needs to uproot weeds in every castle. "It will take time, but we can gain allies and benefits, and the negotiating table is the way to solve problems in the new era, and it is an important step to turn power into discourse." ”

Ivo shook his head in disappointment, he was full of admiration for the Brotherhood's iron-blooded constitution, but now ...... He understands what it feels like to be a dagger in the hands of a big man, and the benefits he gets are nothing more than handouts leaking out of the big man's fingers, just like a pet without dignity, and it is taboo for assassins to meddle in politics, and it is not a good thing to know too many secrets.

The cadre of the Protracted War faction may be a nobleman or a politician, but unfortunately this set does not work for the Assassins, because the chips are fundamentally different.

Unfortunately, Iris seemed to think that this plan was good, and said, "I will relay your proposal to the president, so let's break the meeting." ”

As the elite members left, Ivo stood up, patted his ass and prepared to leave, when a liaison walked up and whispered, "Iris-sama wants to see you." ”

Ivo frowned and nodded, "Lead the way." ”

......

Neburdan landed in a wild woods with a ruined temple overgrown with weeds.

"Rest here tonight. Barlow jumped off the dragon's back.

Neburdan rolled his tongue and placed Nafi in the temple.

After more than a month of travel, not far from the Wizard's Nine Towers, Nafi's condition has not deteriorated, nor has it improved, she has been in a coma, relying on the mana supply of Taikou Laleo, she does not need to eat and drink, and indirectly solves the big trouble.

Nafi is Ivo's fiancée, Barlow and Ender dare not take offense, and as for Hades, he has no concept of "woman" in his heart at all.

"Whose temple is this?" Ander pushed aside the clutter of vines, revealing the appearance of a god.
