Chapter 126: Washington’s Plan
Several days of snow covered Washington Base City. Snowflakes fell from the pale clouds like gray feathers, dancing in the biting wind.
Suddenly, alarm bells sounded one after another, echoing in the sky above Washington Base City. As the highest-ranking commander of Washington Base City, when Oria heard the alarm, he walked out of the church hall at a steady pace. He stood in the middle of the garden in front of the church and looked up at a huge shadow in the sky.
The black shadow slowly descended. As the roar of an engine sounded from the sky, a biting cold hurricane swept the snow in the garden below.
Oria stood as still as possible against the wind. At this moment, David, who was beside him, was kneeling with his left hand on his right chest and his head lowered.
The black shadow slowly landed. Its figure could already be recognized in the swirling snow. It was a black aircraft. When it landed in the garden of the church, Oria also knelt down.
After a short wait, the hatch of the aircraft opened and a person in strange clothes walked out. However, his appearance could not be seen because his entire body was covered.
Oria lowered his head and slowly looked at the figure walking towards him.
“The Holy War Bishop.”
At this moment, David walked up and shouted, “The Holy War Bishop.”
“Get up.”
The Holy War Bishop glanced at David, then at Oria.
“You should know the consequences of failure, right?”
“I didn’t fail. Before this war even began, that damned Peter sneaked in.”
Oria looked at the person in front of him, who was wearing a black steel armor that was covered in fire patterns.
“However, you have already lost your territory.”
David did not panic at all when faced with the Holy War Bishop’s accusation.
“Did Peter think it would be over if he scared me away? You know my plan, Great Bishop.”
After David finished speaking, he looked at the Holy War Bishop with rare sincerity.
“Only by gathering those Genetic Warriors and Mecha Warriors can I wipe them out in one fell swoop.”
“Is this your plan?”
The Holy War Bishop smiled coldly and walked towards the door of the church. Just as he was about to enter the church, he said something extremely impatiently.
“You can leave now, David.”
The Holy War Bishop faced the open door of the church and walked towards the end of the church hall. Then, he sat majestically on a divine throne high above.
Oria followed closely behind. However, he stood far away in the center of the hall and looked up at the Holy War Bishop on the throne.
The moment the door to the church hall closed, the Holy War Bishop walked down from the throne and towards Oria. At this moment, he no longer had his previous dignified aura. Instead, the steel armor covering his head was broken down layer by layer and folded behind him.
“Are you still unwilling to call me father?”
If David were here, he would definitely be shocked speechless by what he saw.
“Your son is Lord Baal from the Holy City…”
Before Oria could finish, the Holy War Bishop said, “Do you still hate me because of your mother’s death?”
Oria replied coldly, “You’re a Bishop, and I’m just a nobody who manages this place. How can I dare to hate you?”
“In my heart, you’re my most valued son.”
The Holy War Bishop’s tone was clearly heavier.
“You should know why I conferred the three Holy Cities along the east coast of the Holy City on your. You should also know why I didn’t allow Baal to send troops, even though you’ve lost half of New York Base City and the eastern half of the Holy City.”
After hearing this, Oria looked at him expressionlessly.
“That’s a pity. Baal’s smart mecha army is very powerful, but David provoked an even stronger Genetic Warrior.”
The Holy War Bishop did not take offense to Oria’s words. Instead, he said, “Oria, are you talking about the God of War Peter? The Holy City has started to come up with a plan to eliminate him.”
The Holy War Bishop sneered mysteriously.
“Don’t think that the Holy City didn’t send Baal to help you because they have given up on you. It’s because you trust David too much.”
“Then why do you think that’s the case?”
Oria asked the Holy War Bishop again. He did not understand this as David had the insect created by the Holy City in his body. Thus, he was not afraid that David would betray the Holy War Organization.
“From the day you placed David in an important position, I knew that your ambition was not inferior to Baal’s. This is because you know that David’s former identity allowed him to understand the Genetic Warriors and Mecha Warriors. Furthermore, with his ambition and scheming skills, he would definitely not be satisfied with just being a counselor by your side. I’m afraid that other than Baal’s army, the other armies in the current Mechanical Holy City are filled with his supporters.”
Oria guessed the thoughts of the Holy War Bishop and asked tentatively, “What exactly are you trying to say?”
“I just want you to know that no matter how ambitious you are, I can tolerate you. This tolerance far exceeds my tolerance for Baal. However, my tolerance is only limited to you. You have to understand that the ambition a person has is the same as their desire. Perhaps you still think that you’re using David now, but don’t forget that David is also using you.”
The Holy War Bishop could see David’s figure through the window.
“In the past, I was just an ordinary person. Now, I’ve overturned this world filled with mutated creatures and obtained a powerful Holy City. Many people in this world can do what I can, let alone someone like David.”
Oria pondered over the Holy War Bishop’s words. There was silence.
At this moment, the Holy War Bishop continued, “Remember, in this world, no matter how sharp a sword is, it is only a sword. It can be used to kill your enemies, but it will also be used to kill you by your enemies. Furthermore, this sword is a demonic sword filled with ambition.”
Oria did not object to what the Holy War Bishop had said. Thus, he asked, “Then, how do you think we can control this demonic sword? I want to make it a sword that will always submit to me.”
The Holy War Bishop said meaningfully, “Not only do you have to learn to sharpen your sword, but you also have to learn to dull its sharp edge at the appropriate time.”
Oria also agreed with what the Holy War Bishop had said. However, he did not want the Holy War Bishop to look down on his ability.
After all, he only believed half of what the Holy War Bishop had said.
He knew that in this world, no king could tolerate the ambition of others, let alone allow others to covet the throne, even if that king was his father.
However, Oria’s thoughts could not be hidden from the Holy War Bishop. The Holy War Bishop simply did not expose him. Instead, he continued, “David is still very useful to you now. You can use his other elders, but this is definitely not just to defeat the Genetic Warriors and Mecha Warriors. It’s also to allow our Holy City to rule this world.”
