The appearance of the giant beast interrupted the battle between Enkidu and Brunestud.
Whether it was due to tacit understanding or not, both sides stopped fighting at the same time, and no one knew the reason for their truce.
Many mages believed that the two were wary of the suddenly appearing giant beast in the clouds, and only this explanation seemed reasonable.
However, even if this explanation made sense, the mages still found it difficult to accept the current situation, as events that overturned their understanding continued to occur: the moon falling, the giant beast appearing, the giant pit in the desert, and the explosions in the streets.
None of these events could be easily concealed.
This Holy Grail War had far exceeded everyone's expectations, and looking at the chaotic situation, even the masterminds behind the Holy Grail War had to admit one thing: this Holy Grail War was completely out of control.
Therefore, they had to activate the final measure in their plan.
Within a few hours after the moon fell, various high-ranking officials of the White House gathered as quickly as possible in a luxurious wooden house in a mountain in the United States.
They would make the final decision here.
Gathered in the conference room were people in suits, people in military uniforms, and even mages.
However, everyone now had a troubled expression, as if they had heard some terrible news.
"The Clock Tower has not agreed…"
"Doesn't the Clock Tower also advocate concealing mysteries? Why… have the twelve Lords, led by Lord Trambelio, all unusually adopted this attitude of refusal…?"
"Even though our advantage lies in the fact that our national power is not affected by magecraft, none of the Lords in the Clock Tower will trust us from the bottom of their hearts just like that. There is no true trust between mages…"
The people in the conference room began to argue.
Some couldn't help but curse at the Clock Tower, saying that they wouldn't assess the situation and had narrow vision.
These high-ranking officials had been under a lot of pressure recently.
First, a huge, inexplicable pit appeared in the desert.
Then, dozens of White House officials suddenly died violently, and the system suddenly became a state of panic.
Now, the world-class impact caused by the moon falling made it impossible for them to continue to hold on.
Originally, they wanted to ask the Clock Tower for help in handling matters related to concealing mysteries.
Normally, the Clock Tower, which advocates concealing mysteries, would not refuse, but would treat it as a transaction.
Moreover, the Clock Tower's internal factions were divided.
Not all Britons were hostile to the United States, and they usually had a lot of trade dealings.
However, when it came to concealing the mysteries of Snowfield City, the Clock Tower reached an unprecedented consensus.
No one was willing to provide assistance to the United States, which puzzled the high-ranking officials of the United States.
This was free meat for the Clock Tower.
There should be no reason not to eat it.
The United States was prepared to be bled dry, but the Clock Tower showed this attitude.
A group of American officials couldn't understand.
In their view, as politicians and mages, there were no conflicts that could not be resolved through interests.
Therefore, the Clock Tower's behavior seemed very abnormal to them.
"Perhaps… it has something to do with that new king…"
Suddenly, someone said faintly.
Although the voice was very small, it instantly silenced the agitated officials.
Everyone fell into a deathly silence.
After a long while, someone finally spoke: "…According to intelligence, it seems that that king has also come to Snowfield City."
When these words reached the ears of others, it was like lighting the fuse of a powder keg, and the officials' statements erupted once again.
"H-how is that possible… He is, after all, the monarch of a country! Visiting our country without even saying hello?!"
"Is the CIA useless! They can't even figure out this kind of information?!"
"Oh my god… I heard that every British king has extremely terrifying power… Britain… are they crazy? Are they trying to provoke a war between two great powers?!"
The scene was almost chaotic.
Whether they were high-ranking officials and congressmen in suits or battle-hardened generals, they were all arguing.
Actually, it's not that the CIA of the United States wasn't effective, but that MI6 of Great Britain was also exerting its strength.
In the past few days, the overt and covert struggles between the two top intelligence agencies in the world have been no less exciting than the Holy Grail War.
However, this incident is related to the mystical.
It's completely outside the realm of expertise of the CIA.
When they wrestled with MI6, which has deep mystical roots, the result was obvious.
The United States was fed a large amount of false information by MI6, and the entire intelligence system almost fell into a state of overload and paralysis.
The United States is far inferior to Great Britain in its understanding of the mystical.
This was completely fighting in front of their doorstep; how could they not be beaten to a pulp?
Most fatally, as fellow experts in the intelligence field,
MI6's information was a mix of truth and falsehood.
Even their own people might not be able to distinguish it, and the CIA was almost in tears.
"Enough! Stop bothering with Great Britain…
If we don't make a decision now that things have reached this point, we might be the ones who are finished!"
A certain general slammed the table.
Even the medals on his chest trembled.
This immediately quieted everyone down.
The effect was quite good.
"Hey, weren't the three factions of the Clock Tower always fighting fiercely? Why aren't they continuing to fight now…"
"Yeah… They have to fight; the more they fight, the more opportunities we have to intervene. Instead of watching them unify their direction, it's easier for us to act if they continue to fight each other… But now…"
The crowd stopped panicking, that's true.
But they sighed at the bleak situation. No one present had expected it to come to this.
However, it's not all bad news.
The mysteries brought about by the Holy Grail War are all terrifying enough to overturn the world.
Think about it, when the atomic bomb was born.
Its terror was almost the same as this.
