Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian found the diary again, and then compared the contents of the diary with the pedigree chart one by one.

The first was the photo of Anthony and Catherine. Gu Xingmian had only a vague memory before, but now when he compared the photo with the photo of Ignatz's garden in the pedigree chart, he could clearly see that it was the same place.

They compared various details in the diary and found Anthony's name in the Ignatz family tree. According to the date of birth and death above, it was almost certain that he was Catherine's brother in the diary.

Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong looked at each other.

Catherine's diary in the later period was very messy, so they initially thought that Anthony wanted to marry another woman for the sake of the family, but combined with what Clement told them, Anthony should be forced to have a relationship with another woman in order to give birth to a child with a high blood concentration.

Looking at Catherine's records, Anthony did not follow the arrangement, but chose another path.

Although Catherine's diary did not say it clearly, the two of them thought of it almost at the same time-

blood punishment!!

Gu Xingmian looked at the crazy words in Catherine's later diary, and suddenly became anxious: "Clement he..."

Xiao Qiong gently pressed his shoulder.

The force from his shoulder brought comfort, which calmed Gu Xingmian temporarily.

Xiao Qiong looked at him and said seriously, "Believe in Clement."

"But..."

"We are anxious, but we can't change Clement's situation." Xiao Qiong said rationally, "Just like you said, from all this, the temple is not as simple as it seems. If we want to help Clement, the only thing we can do is to find the reason behind the temple. With these, we have the bargaining chip to change Clement's situation."

Gu Xingmian was panicking before, but it was only because he was concerned.

Clement was the first friend he made after crossing over, except Xiao Qiong and Gugu, and he had a special meaning in his heart.

Thinking about how he had gotten rid of the shackles of his family, had a girl he loved, and was about to reap happiness, but because of the interference of the temple, he missed the happiness that was about to be obtained, Gu Xingmian had no good impression of this group of charlatans.

Just when he and Xiao Qiong were discussing what to do, an unexpected visitor came to their door.

"Admiral Gwen?"

The visitor was Admiral Gwen, who had just returned to the First Military Region not long ago.

After hearing his purpose, Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong were even more surprised.

"You want to invite us to join the First Military Region?"

Gwen nodded.

In fact, Gwen had invited them once before, but at that time, Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian had not yet thought about the future, so they politely rejected him.

Admiral Gwen would not force them to do anything in such a short time.

Facing their doubts,

Gwen told them about his attempt to test Douglas, and said frankly: "In fact, a long time ago, the military region had realized that the temple had concealed many things, so after many generations of efforts, they took back the power little by little. In this process, the contradictions between them were irreconcilable, and gradually became the current situation where only superficial peace can be maintained."

The two did not expect Gwen to say this to them, and were stunned for a while.

According to legend, when the evil spirits attacked the village, the first high priest led the people of the temple to pray to the gods, and they saw the God's card pool and drew cards to resist the evil spirits and protect their homes.

After repelling the evil spirits, the high priest proposed to build a defense line to keep the evil spirits out of the defense line and protect ordinary people.

If it were a myth, everyone would be happy at this point.

The military district and the temple have a close relationship and cooperate very well. The people support the military district and believe in the temple.

Unfortunately, as time goes by, the temple becomes more and more greedy, its appetite grows, and the contradiction with the military district becomes greater and greater.

The military district has been guarding the defense line for many years, paying the price of blood and tears, but the temple only knows how to enjoy in the central city, but is still high above them, and has been exploiting them, so in anger, they have their first confrontation.

In this confrontation, the military district discovered that the temple is not as simple as it seems, and they hide many secrets.

However, the people in the Temple were extremely tight-lipped. Not only did they not find any clues, but they were also blamed by the Temple, which severely damaged their vitality and almost allowed the evil spirits to break through the defense line. It was the Temple that took action at the critical moment and sent out the Temple Knights to save the situation.

This was the first time that the Temple Knights appeared in front of the world. Their unparalleled strength made them turn around from their original decadent situation.

The military district was defeated and had to accept the conditions of the Temple. From then on, the Temple completely dominated the military district, and the military district endured humiliation and satisfied the greedy appetite of the Temple, flattering them to the point of complacency, while secretly eating up power and completely undermining the Temple.

This is what they see now.

Gwen said: "In recent years, the military district has been trying to go out and try to find other continents or humans. The three garrison bases outside the defense line of the First Military District were built under this situation..."

Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian knew this.

At the beginning, the five major military districts had tried, but they failed repeatedly and suffered heavy losses. Later, after discussion, they decided to concentrate their efforts and work in one direction, and handed this important task to the First Military District.

The First Military District established three garrison bases because they wanted to use the garrison bases as support and supplies to move forward.

Unfortunately, the Feilong defense line was broken not long ago, and the three garrison bases were also destroyed, and years of hard work were destroyed.

Seeing that they both looked thoughtful, Gwen revealed her real purpose: "I asked you this time because I want to organize a team to cross the defense line and go to the end of the continent where no one has ever set foot before."

Both of them were stunned.

However, Gwen looked serious and it was obvious that she was not joking.

Gwen said frankly: "I know this trip is dangerous. You can tell me if you have any concerns, but I can swear on my life and my identity as a soldier that as long as I am alive, I will not let you suffer any harm."

Gu Xingmian looked at Gwen in shock.

Xiao Qiong frowned: "If we don't go, there will be no such plan."

"No." Gwen shook his head gently, "This is the path we must take, no matter how many people are sacrificed, as long as you are here, the success rate may be higher."

He did not plan to kidnap them, but just calmly stated the facts.

This is their mission, the pursuit of countless generations of soldiers, no matter what the outcome is, no matter whether they will die in a foreign land and never return, they will definitely go out.

Not only to avoid being constrained by the temple, but also because of the unyielding courage of mankind.

Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian instantly understood Gwen's unfinished words. At

that moment, it seemed as if a wildfire had been born in the hearts of the two, and they also wanted to deal with the temple and rescue Clement, which was the same goal as Gwen, so the two sides hit it off.

Gwen laid out the plan.

The first thing they had to do was to rebuild the military base in Soloburg as their supply station in a short period of time. During this time, they would select suitable candidates to join the team...

Gu Xingmian was more and more shocked as he listened: "Isn't this too hasty? Don't be angry. I just heard that the First Military District was hit hard just now. Now they have to take out so many supplies and personnel in one go. Will it be..."

Gwen laughed: "Not just the First Military District."

Gu Xingmian: "?"

"For this plan, it can be said that the five major military districts have put in everything they have. If they fail, they will die."

Gu Xingmian & Xiao Qiong: "!!!"

Time went back to a few days ago.

An aircraft landed on the apron of the First Military District. General Qin Ke of the Fifth Military District, led by a sergeant, hurried into the conference room: "Ludwig, what can't be said on the communicator? You have to call us to your place..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that several other generals had arrived.

General Lius of the Fourth Military District still looked sickly, and just raised his head and nodded as a greeting.

Sitting opposite Leus was Admiral Agla of the Third Military District. He had the best relationship with Gwen, and upon hearing this, he said, "Calm down, Ludwig has always been steady, and he wouldn't easily call us all here unless it was something serious."

Qin Ke actually knew this, but recently he and Gwen had been competing for Gu Xingmian. In order to prevent him from getting close to the UR card, Gwen, a dignified admiral, actually served as a bodyguard for him and personally sent him to Central City to receive the award.

But he couldn't just say it out loud, lest others discover Gu Xingmian's ability and there would be more competitors.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Agla didn't take it seriously, and turned around and chatted with Admiral Noah of the Second Military District.

Until Gwen walked in.

Qin Ke was the most impatient, and couldn't help but ask, "Ludwig, why did you call us here?"

Gwen asked all the guards around them to leave the meeting room, and then took out the auxiliary card and added a layer of protection.

Seeing his action, the faces of several admirals became serious.

After everything was ready, Gwen said, "I just came back from Central City."

Hearing this, Qin Ke couldn't help rolling his eyes, but Gwen's subsequent words made his half-rolled eyes suddenly widen.

"I met the high priest, and I suspect that the breach of the Feilong defense line this time is related to the temple."

Everyone: "!!!"

Noah was shocked: "Ludwig, do you understand what you are saying?!"

"What did the high priest say to make you misunderstand like this?" Leus asked.

"Yes!" Even Agla, who always stood on his side, said, "Why did the temple do this? Is there any benefit for them? It can't be that because we have offended the high priest, he wants to retaliate against us, right?"

Douglas is indeed a little petty, but he would not do such a stupid thing!

Even though everyone is annoyed by the greed of the temple, no one believes that the temple would do such a thing.

Gwen had already guessed their reaction, and he was not angry. He just took out a stack of information and distributed it to them: "I checked the information over the years. Since we decided to go out, we have carried out a total of 122 operations, but they all failed without exception."

Everyone was shocked, and then took the information and flipped through it. It was indeed as he said.

"So what?" Qin Ke frowned and said, "This can only mean that the evil spirits are too strong, and our strength is not enough to get out of the defense line."

The others also nodded secretly. If it weren't for the protection of the defense line, how could they sit here so safely? Perhaps all mankind would have perished in the rampage of the evil spirits.

Although the temple is arrogant and greedy, they have indeed protected the continent of Saint Rovis.

Gwen lowered his eyes and said the shocking words calmly.

"Is the defense line really to protect us? Or is it to trap us and not allow us to leave?"
