"WTF, what's going on? Why is there such a complicated situation?"
In a tavern in a small frontier town a little south of Missouri, Sheriff Owen was half leaning against the table, holding a beer glass, staring at the news broadcast on TV with a look of shock, which seemed a little unbelievable.
The atmosphere of war spread across the entire continent, and the disputes within the Church of Eternal Night gradually began to face the public, causing increasing friction.
And on the TV, there was the news that Leon, at a press conference, announced Smith and Apted as apostates and ordered believers around the world to fight against them.
Owen is also a believer of the Eternal Night, the kind who goes to the Eternal Night Church to pray every week, but he has not joined the Eternal Night Church. Therefore, he is not very clear about the disputes within the church and is very shocked by this incident.
Deep down, he actually supports Archbishop Lyon more. After all, the propaganda of the Church of Eternal Night is mainly based on Archbishop Lyon.
However, the priest of their local church publicly made a speech against Lyon, which made him very conflicted and he didn't know what to do.
"The archbishop had a dispute with other bishops. Why was the army mobilized as well?"
Next to Owen, a young man bit an apple and said something that was inexplicably caused by a line of words scrolling below the TV, which was about the transfer of the 88th Extraordinary Division in Hawaii.
Owen glanced at the young man and said, "The commander of the 88th Division is a member of the Evernight Cult. The Night Watch is also a member of the Evernight Cult. Most of the regimental officers have Evernight backgrounds. I guess they will be transferred back to fight."
"Not only the Hawaiian army, but also the Transcendental 31st, 40th, and 98th Divisions stationed in Maple Leaf, fighting the Destroyers, have been transferred back to the country and are heading towards Boston. I heard that even the Coast Guard is getting nervous."
At this moment, an elderly-looking man in the tavern swayed behind them and spoke.
As the town's sheriff, Owen knew this old man, who was an officer who had served in the extraordinary army.
Most of the US troops are still ordinary troops, and the extraordinary army has only 22 divisions. Four divisions have been mobilized now. As people expected, the war is approaching.
At this moment, the young man suddenly spoke, seeming to be very interested in this matter: "I remember that we also have an extraordinary force stationed in Missouri, right? I think it's the 18th Division of the Extraordinary Mobile Force?"
The old man who had served in the 18th Division smiled slightly and said, "That's right, but the commander of the 18th Division is a magician who graduated from the Cangjindal Magic Academy. He probably won't participate in the war with the Church of Eternal Night. We are still relatively safe here."
Upon hearing this, Sheriff Owen frowned and kindly reminded him, "It's not good that we know about the extraordinary army, right?"
Owen also served in the army, but the army he served in was just an ordinary army, and they used ordinary firearms. The extraordinary army, on the other hand, used extraordinary firearms engraved with extraordinary inscriptions, and the officers were all real extraordinary people, so naturally they were different from ordinary armies.
In order to maintain the mystery of the super forces, all countries will not disclose the characteristics of the super forces and keep it secret. Therefore, Sheriff Owen felt that it would be better not to hear about the situation of the super forces.
"It's okay. It's come to this point. There's no problem in talking about it."
The old man who had served in the 18th Division was quite calm. He waved his hand at Owen and said, "The Extraordinary Force is just like that. Aside from the weapons they use being engraved with Extraordinary inscriptions and the frequent appearance of Extraordinary individuals in the army, there's nothing special about them."
He was the last batch of mortal officers of the 18th Division. After a short few months of integration, he retired and returned home, living in obscurity in this border town.
No one would have thought that this seemingly ordinary old man had actually been promoted to deputy division commander.
It’s a pity that the extraordinary forces have undergone a comprehensive reform, and even the former division commander has been replaced by a graduate student from the Cangjindal School of Magic, not to mention him.
"This is already the most special one, okay?"
Sheriff Owen laughed and complained, then exchanged a smile with the old man and drank the beer in the beer glass in his hand.
The young man curled his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but the TV screen in front of him suddenly changed, and then the governor of Missouri suddenly appeared on the TV with a very serious expression.
"Dear friends from Missouri, the United States has experienced countless ups and downs since its independence. The history of Missouri..."
The governor of Missouri read his opening remarks in a heavy voice, and seeing that in addition to the governor of Missouri, there was also a missionary wearing the missionary robe of the Church of Eternal Night, Owen's heart sank immediately, and the old man also understood something.
Is Missouri...going to join the war?!
As expected, the governor of Missouri immediately talked about the recent operations of the Church of Eternal Night, and announced that Missouri would support Archbishop Lyon, and the army would be on martial law, alert to military actions in the South.
Sheriff Owen asked directly.
You should know that although the governor of the United States is not under the jurisdiction of the president, he is not an all-powerful figure in the state. The United States has a separation of powers, and the governor, state legislature, and state court each have different responsibilities.
The governor cannot directly mobilize the army. He only has the power to mobilize the state's National Guard, and that power is incomplete. What is the governor of Missouri doing?
However, Sheriff Owen knew that the governor, the state legislature, and the state court must have reached some unknown conditions, otherwise the Missouri governor would never have announced such a thing.
