Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention focused on the two divine knights from the Holy Knights Hall of the Saintly Church. The Holy Knights Hall is the military institution of the Saintly Church. While the Saintly Church oversees administrative and other comprehensive matters, handling internal and external operations and missionary work, the Holy Knights Hall specializes in military affairs, handling various conquests, expeditions, and protection missions. There is also a Holy Healing Hall, which governs healing, providing medical services to humans visiting the church on ordinary days, and in times of war, specifically treating the Holy Knights, acting as a rescue team.

The Holy Knights' Hall is strictly hierarchical, with special branding emblems used to distinguish ranks and combat power. These emblems are in the shape of wings, with ranks ranging from low to high: single wing, double wing, four wings, six wings, and eight wings. These correspond to the Holy Knight positions of: mid-ranking knight, high-ranking knight, saint knight, god knight, and Holy Knight commander, respectively. Low-ranking knights do not have their own branding emblems.

Pact's surprise at recognizing the Divine Knight stemmed from two reasons: firstly, the Divine Knight's special status and strength far exceeding that of a 6th-tier knight; and secondly, the Divine Knight was rarely deployed for non-critical missions, yet the Church of Saints had sent two Divine Knights to this joint meeting, even including Archbishop Gibo in white robes, demonstrating the Church's high regard for the meeting.

Upon seeing the Divine Knight, Huangfu Yan understood the Saintly Church's stance. However, the immediate priority was to stabilize Daklens and ensure the continuation of the joint meeting. He then said, "Beast King, I think we should analyze the situation on the island again. There must be some misunderstanding."

Upon seeing the Divine Knights, Beast King Darkrens quickly began to analyze the situation: "Pact is a no-brainer, a coward with no real strength. I have a general understanding of the strength of the other three emperors, and they are not to be feared in a fight. This damned Church of Saints actually sent two Divine Knights; they are not to be underestimated. Damn it, this Gibo dares to act like a bully, yelling at me. If it weren't for the Divine Knights backing you up, I would have chopped you to pieces today."

After thinking it over, Dakrons sat back down and said, "Since your Saintly Church is putting on such a grand show, I'll give you face today and we can talk some more."

Upon hearing Dakrons's words, Gibo's expression softened. He exchanged a glance with the Divine Knight, and the two returned to their previous room to await orders. Gibo then returned to the conference table and said, "I am aware of the matter on the island. Your four nations' garrison troops must have a reason for starting the war on the island, but according to intelligence, there seems to be no clear reason for the war. Could the four emperors explain the reason for starting the war?"

The four remained silent, for they were unaware of what had transpired on the island that had prompted the four nations' garrisons to launch a rash attack without orders. But someone had to break the silence. Huangfu Yan spoke first: "Bishop Jibo, I am also unclear about the cause of the war. I did receive news that some minor skirmishes had occurred among the garrison on the island, so I specifically replaced the garrison commander with a more composed general. But who knew that fighting would still break out?"

Daklens was already furious, and after hearing this, he became even angrier: "Fine, who would believe you if you said you didn't know? If you didn't know, why did you change the garrison commander? The joint conference clearly stipulated that the garrison of each country should be managed by the then city lord. You killed Yin Tianbao, and then you changed the garrison commander without permission. I think you just want to take over this island for yourselves!"

Daklens grew increasingly angry as he spoke: "If it weren't for the fact that we're reconvening the joint meeting today in the Principality of Paisen, which is closest to the island, by the time we received news of the island, it would probably be too late, and the island would have already been captured by you!"

Huangfu Yan was also angered by Daklens's words. He had been repeatedly framed and slandered by this fellow, and this was intolerable. He immediately retorted angrily, "What is your intention in repeatedly framing and slandering me! If you want to fight, I will fight you to the end!"

"Great! I couldn't be happier! If we're going to fight, let's have a good, thorough fight. We'll each return to our own countries, and we'll declare war in three days. I'll fight you to the death!" Daklens immediately agreed and even set a time for declaring war.

Eric, holding his head in his hand with a helpless expression, wondered when his younger brother would change his impulsive temper. He immediately advised, "You two don't need to rush. The war between humans and demons has only lasted for a little over a hundred years. We all need to restore people's livelihoods. We must not bring war to the people again because of a moment of impulsiveness."

Gibo looked at Eric and Chu Jingwu and asked, "Do the two emperors know the reason for the war on the island?" Both of them shook their heads. Gibo continued, "Since none of you four know the reason, I think it would be better to withdraw your troops and end this farcical war."

Jibo genuinely didn't want a war to break out on the islands. Although the Holy Judgment Society had arranged for him to attend after learning that the Joint Conference was to be restarted and had instructed him to ensure that the Kingdom of Delin would take over the islands, given the current situation, let alone allowing the Kingdom of Delin to take over the islands, the Joint Conference itself would probably be unnecessary in the future. If war broke out, without a stable supply of resources from the islands, the development of humanity in all countries would inevitably be affected, which would contradict the teachings of the Holy Religion. Therefore, the most urgent task was to stabilize the situation and restore peace to the islands before renegotiating the distribution of benefits.

However, his proposal was rejected by Dakrons, who shouted, "How can this be? To fight and stop just like that, to withdraw troops just like that? I disagree. War is not a game!"

Gibo was furious with Dakrons for defying him time and time again. If it weren't for the Holy Judgment's explicit instruction against conflict with non-pure human races during the joint conference, Gibo would have already ordered the two divine knights to teach Dakrons a lesson. Pact, who had been listening for a long time, then spoke up: "Since the war has already begun, and we can't reach an agreement, let's just continue fighting."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Pact in surprise. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Pact calmly continued, "What I mean is, the war should continue, but it must be confined to the island. If some things have to be sacrificed, then the one with the least sacrifice should be what we should consider, shouldn't we?"

Everyone understood what Pact meant: war could not break out on the Dragon Continent, as the foundations of all nations lay there. However, the people on the islands could be sacrificed, at least to bring about a final outcome in the distribution of the islands' interests, and to decide who would take over the islands this time through war.

Gibo understood what Pact meant and said, "I agree with King Pact's suggestion. What about you emperors?"

The four emperors remained silent, their silence tacitly agreeing. Jibo glanced at everyone and continued, "Since no one has any objections, then it's decided that the takeover of the island will be determined by this war. The battlefield will be limited to the island, and the participating troops will be limited to the island's garrison. No country is allowed to send additional troops to the island."

"Then this joint meeting is adjourned. Hopefully, this was just an accident and won't affect the normal convening of future joint meetings. The Holy Church will not be absent from any joint meeting. Now, please, Your Majesties, return to your posts." Jibo's meaning was that since this island war had broken out in a muddled way, and the countries were locked in a fierce struggle over the right of takeover, then this meeting would simply let the war decide which country would take over the island. However, this was an exception; in the future, the right of takeover would still be decided through normal joint meetings. If any country dared to use this exception as an excuse in the future, the Holy Church would not stand idly by.
