Wizard Rhodes' words caused silence among everyone present. George took a deep breath. He never expected that his previous thought without thinking was the only correct answer.
Leon coughed lightly and broke the awkward situation. "Ahem, Mr. Rhodes is absolutely right. I think we must immediately organize three people to enter the terminal and kill the monster inside. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"I agree!"
Seeing this, the Governor of New York also stood up and said righteously: "I think this is what we should do. We must eliminate the monsters as soon as possible and restore order in New York!"
The speech was well-organized and logical, and coupled with the New York governor's attitude of working for the people, George almost thought he was a governor who was responsible for the people.
Unfortunately, George still knows the true face of capitalists, so he sneered at the New York governor's move: Do you need to interfere in something that will be passed 100%?
Lyon looked at Aped, then at George, and suddenly a sense of crisis rose in his heart. It seemed that his position as Archbishop was somewhat unstable. He immediately said, "Sending a small team is too cumbersome. So, all the extraordinary people present here will join the battle together and act as a group."
In the past, activities like this were mostly handled by Aped and George, and such actions allowed them to accumulate a lot of prestige, while Leon, as the archbishop, had very little prestige.
This is just like the logic in "Water Margin". Chao Gai, the second leader of Liangshanpo, was originally a leader among the soldiers and everyone obeyed him. After Song Jiang came, he went down the mountain to do everything in person, which shook Chao Gai's original position and led to what happened later.
At this time, Lyon's situation was even worse than Chao Gai's. After all, Chao Gai still had a group of brothers supporting him, but he... had nothing but the title of archbishop.
This won't do. Leon wants to change this situation, but he doesn't want to openly break up with George and Aped, so he has no choice but to proceed like this.
"Of course, I agree!"
George was a little surprised, but as he was a simple-minded person, he didn't think too deeply about it. He just felt that there was strength in numbers, and if everyone went, they would be more powerful and it would be easier to eliminate the monster that threatened the entire New York.
A light flashed in Aped's eyes, as if he had realized something, but at this moment he could not deny it.
Lyon occupied Daye for the sake of the people of New York and for all the believers of Eternal Night in New York.
I have no excuse to refute anything, and if I insist on opposing it, my situation will be somewhat dangerous.
"Archbishop Lyon, you are truly worthy of your reputation. Even though you haven't dealt with anything for over six months, you are still able to handle it with ease."
After reading it, Aped said slowly, "Your Excellency Leon is right. The more people we have, the greater our strength will be. But I think with the number of extraordinary people we have in New York now... we should wait for Bishop Smith from Boston to arrive."
Smith is also one of the candidates to succeed the Archbishop, and bringing him in will naturally have a great impact on Lyon's plan.
Although Aped didn't know what Lyon's specific plan was, he still asked Smith to come along and get it done.
After all, if Lyon doesn't go down, no one can become archbishop, let alone go a step further and become the Pope.
George suddenly realized:
"Yes, if we wait for Bishop Smith to come, our chances of winning will be much better. There is strength in numbers!"
"Every minute that passes means more danger. It will take Bishop Smith at least three hours to get here. These are lives at stake!"
Leon flatly rejected Aped's proposal and said confidently, "I have the Scepter of God bestowed upon us by the Supreme Lord. It is indestructible. A mere spider is nothing to me!!"
George also echoed, "Yes, I think Archbishop Lyon is right. Although we have a small number of extraordinary people in New York, each of us is a master who can fight against a hundred people at once!"
A fence-sitter cannot get a house!
Aped cursed George in his heart for being such a fence-sitter, but in the end he could only agree to Leon's suggestion and said, "I agree. Let's go now."
After saying that, Aped stood up and, together with George and Leon, began to gather all the extraordinary people of the Church of Eternal Night.
But when Aped found the two Indian wizards, they refused to do anything.
Let all the New Yorkers die. If they really died, they might even applaud. After all, those people are the descendants of invaders. The fact that wizards are now forced to cooperate with the Church of Eternal Night for their livelihood does not mean they will obey him.
Aped didn't say anything about the two Indian wizards not wanting to join. After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and Aped couldn't influence other people's thoughts. He could only start gathering all the extraordinary people to launch an attack!
There are 914 extraordinary people recorded in the Church of Eternal Night, but only 139 of them gathered in New York. Among them, some are newcomers who have just become extraordinary people and do not know how to use their extraordinary powers. There are only 95 who can really fight, and this number includes Leon, Aped, and George.
With such a large number of extraordinary people, the New York branch of the Church of Eternal Night alone can defeat the Church of Thunder, not to mention the magic academy that has not yet opened.
As the leader of the Night Watch, George, holding a Western fencing sword, walked at the front of the road with Archbishop Leon and Bishop Aped. Behind them were ninety-two members of the Church of Eternal Night dressed in black, marching towards their destination in a mighty procession.
Of course, they didn't just walk there. Soon, ninety-five people boarded a helicopter prepared by the military and began heading towards their destination.
The pilot is also a superhuman, because ordinary people will fall into a sweet dream if they get close to it. Therefore, the helicopter can only be piloted by the night watchmen who come from the military of the Church of Eternal Night.
"Boom boom..."
The sound of helicopter propellers echoed in the sky. Dozens of helicopters carrying more than ninety extraordinary people were operating over downtown New York. George, Leon, and Aped were sitting together in a helicopter, all with their eyes closed to rest.
Everyone knows that the war is about to begin, and half of these more than ninety extraordinary people may die here, but no one will retreat.
Even though each of them has ulterior motives and wants to step onto the ladder of power in the church, they all have the same degree of faith in the Lord of Eternal Night.
Saving the citizens of New York means saving the believers of Eternal Night. For the sake of the church, there is no turning back.
The helicopter landed not far from the terminal. Leon looked at the high-spirited superhumans, took a deep breath, and said to George and Aped, "According to the plan, three groups will enter and must kill this monster with one strike!"
"action!"
