Unlike Amhara, the atmosphere in Tigray is more tense.

Since the tripartite joint exploration team crossed the state border, everyone saw many heavily armed Tiren soldiers on the road, as well as a large number of military vehicles, including armored vehicles and tanks, as well as heavy artillery, etc.

Tigray is a small state. Except for a few national parks, wildlife reserves, and steep mountains, the rest of the state seems to have been turned into a huge military camp.

These troops of the People's Front are moving in organized areas, and many of them are gathering towards state borders, obviously preparing for war.

There are many military checkpoints scattered on this bumpy road. Most checkpoints and some key places are heavily guarded.

As I learned before, the TPLF is actively preparing for war and is ready to break up with the Ethiopian government and start a direct war at any time.

While the motorcade was driving, everyone also saw many Orthodox believers wearing white robes.

Compared to other parts of Ethiopia, Orthodox Christianity occupies an absolutely dominant position in Tigray and is the religion with the largest number of believers.

The ethnic groups here are also relatively homogeneous, with the Tigrayans being the main ones, accounting for about 97%, and the population of other ethnic groups being very small.

The Tigrayan people account for less than 6% of the entire Ethiopia.

It is these 6% of Tigrayans who have ruled Ethiopia for a long time. It was not until the latest presidential election that they lost the Ethiopian presidential throne.

Tigray and the TPLF are naturally unwilling to give in and always want to regain power.

Because of this, there is a conflict between the Ethiopian government and Tigray state.

And this contradiction is almost irreconcilable, which has resulted in the current explosive situation.

While the convoy was traveling, almost every Orthodox believer it encountered glared at the tripartite joint exploration convoy, and even yelled and cursed angrily.

However, due to the protection of a large number of Tiren soldiers, no one attacked the joint exploration convoy.

Not long after entering Tigray, dusk fell.

For safety reasons, the three-party joint exploration team decided to rest in a city they passed along the way and rush to the holy city of Aksum tomorrow.

When the tripartite joint exploration convoy entered this city in Tigray state, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the city.

People living here poured out of their homes like a tide and stood on the street outside, watching the huge motorcade passing by.

During this process, almost everyone was shouting and cursing, and many people were throwing stones at the convoy.

When the convoy passed through the rain of stones, these people did not let go and chased after them one after another.

People rushed straight to the hotel where the tripartite joint exploration team was going to stay, as if they wanted to ask for an explanation.

Seeing this scene, everyone was somewhat worried.

"These Tigrayans are so crazy, Steven, do you think these angry Tigrayans will attack the tripartite joint exploration team?"

David asked worriedly.

Ye Tian looked at the situation outside the car window, then chuckled and shook his head.

“The TPLF and the Tigray people are almost one body, and their interests are highly related and irrespective of each other. If the Tigray state and the TPLF want to compete with or go to war with the Ethiopian government, they will need a lot of weapons and money.

The channels through which they can obtain weapons and money are limited. Now that the tripartite joint exploration team and the Israelis have come to their doorstep, they will never refuse and will never turn away Israeli weapons and money.

Because of this, they will not allow people to attack the joint exploration team, which may destroy their plans, religion and power. For the senior leaders of the Tianjin Front, this choice is actually not difficult."

"It is true that if the TPLF wants to regain control of Ethiopia, it must rely on external forces. Preparing for war also requires a lot of money, weapons and ammunition"

"However, we still have to be cautious. No one can be sure that some fanatical religious extremists will launch a small group of attacks or a lone wolf attack"

While talking, the motorcade had already driven into the hotel where they were going to stay.

This so-called hotel is the largest in the city. It doesn't have many rooms in total and looks rather rundown on the outside.

The Israeli agents who arrived here first to set up a front station have booked this hotel.

No other guests will be accepted here until the tripartite joint exploration team leaves.

As soon as the convoy arrived here, Ye Tian quickly scanned the surroundings and nearby buildings, looking through all these places.

After making sure it was safe, he and David got out of the car and walked towards the hotel.

At this moment, the Tigrayans who followed the tripartite joint exploration convoy also arrived in front of the hotel.

Fortunately, they were all stopped by the soldiers of the Tiren Formation who were armed with live ammunition. They could not get close to the convoy and the three-party joint exploration team. They could only stay outside the cordon to protest and curse loudly.

"Go to hell! You **** bastards, get out of Tigray, you are not welcome here!"

"The Ark of the Covenant is in the Church of St. Mary of Axum. You are a bunch of **** liars and robbers. Get out of Tigray!"

Listening to these deafening and angry protests and curses, Ye Tian couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He turned his head and looked back, then said to a few people around him:

"Gentlemen, it seems that our exploration in Axum will be much more difficult than expected. The situation in this city is already like this, and the situation in Axum will only become more exaggerated!"

Joshua and Bishop Kent also looked back with serious expressions.

Then Bishop Kent whispered solemnly:

"It is true, Steven. Although there are many Orthodox believers in this city, it is relatively mild. When we get to Aksum, we will face the most devout and fanatical Orthodox believers in Ethiopia.

It can be said that it is the headquarters of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is a system of its own. We, the Vatican and other Orthodox sects, have very limited influence on them and cannot suppress them! ”

Hearing this, Joshua immediately continued:

"Steven, Bishop of Kent, you can rest assured that we have reached an agreement with the TPLF, the Tigray state government, and relevant parties in Aksum to ensure everyone's safety and the smooth progress of the joint exploration operation"

While they were talking, the group of them had already entered the hotel.

The deafening sounds of protests and curses outside the hotel continued to come and reached everyone's ears.

After a while, Ye Tian and David had entered a suite upstairs in the hotel.

After entering the room, Ye Tian quickly scanned the situation here, and then said to his security personnel:

"Cole, please take someone to thoroughly check this suite and all other rooms to prevent them from being monitored or eavesdropped. Although we are only staying here for one night, we still have to be careful.

Same as in Gondar, for safety reasons, from drinking water to food, we only use what we prepare ourselves, not what the hotel provides, to avoid unnecessary accidents."

"Understood, Steven, leave these matters to us, I will take someone to check!"

Cole nodded in response and immediately took action.

After a while, they found two pinhole cameras and a bug in the suite.

In other rooms, they also successively found some surveillance and listening equipment.

After checking all the rooms, Ye Tian asked his security personnel to package the surveillance and listening equipment and gave them all to the representatives of the Tiren Formation.

When receiving these things, the expressions on the representatives of the Tiren Formation were very wonderful.

While busy, it was completely dark, and darkness completely enveloped this small northern Ethiopian city.

For security reasons, those Tigrayans protesting outside and around the hotel were dispersed by Tigray police and TPLF soldiers.

Everyone’s ears are finally quiet and you can have a good rest.

The night passed peacefully, and nothing unexpected happened.

……

It’s a new day.

As soon as the sky dawned, the three-party joint exploration convoy set off, leaving the city and rushing to the religious holy city of Aksum in the north.

The reason why we set off so early was to avoid the fanatical and angry Tigrayans and Orthodox believers in the city.

This city is not far from Axum, only more than a hundred kilometers away.

With an early start, the joint exploration team could reach the holy city of Aksum before most Tigrayans and Orthodox believers along the way wake up.

This will definitely reduce a lot of trouble!

This is exactly the case!

During the rest of the journey, the three-party joint exploration convoy did not encounter much trouble.

About two hours later, this huge motorcade was bathed in the early morning sunshine and drove into Ethiopia's most important religious holy city, Aksum.

Aksum is a historic city located in northern Ethiopia, with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters.

This city was built around 1,000 BC and has a very long history. It was once the capital of the Aksumite Empire.

In this ancient city, there are many Orthodox monasteries, churches, monasteries, etc., and ancient buildings and cultural relics such as sculptures, inscriptions, and granite obelisks from ancient times can be seen everywhere.

The most famous buildings are the Endacion Cathedral, the Church of Santa Maria on Mount Zion, and the Obelisk.

Endacion Cathedral houses many kings' crowns and royal robes, as well as Coptic Christian scriptures. In ancient times, several kings held coronation ceremonies in this church.

In the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion, it is said that the holiest object of Christianity and Judaism, the Ark of the Covenant, is enshrined and has the title of 'Head of the Monastery'.

It is the highest-level church in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, a religious holy place, and has the highest status in the hearts of Ethiopian Orthodox believers.

As for the granite obelisk, it is a symbol of Ethiopia's ancient civilization.

According to historical records, the tallest obelisk in Axum can reach a height of 33 meters and is in the shape of a thirteen-story building. It is the tallest stone monument erected by humans in the world.

Before the 13th century, Aksum had been the political and religious center of Ethiopia and one of the political, economic and cultural centers of Africa as a whole.

In history, Aksum has always been called the 'cornerstone', 'mother of cities' and 'cradle of ancient civilization' of Ethiopia. The early kingdoms of Ethiopia were basically based here!

To modern times, it is still the most important religious holy place and cultural center in Ethiopia.

At the same time, it is also a distribution center for coffee, grains, livestock products, honey and other substances and products. It is famous for the production of fine weavings, leather and metal products.

Before the tripartite joint exploration team arrived in Aksum and entered the city, relevant parties were notified in advance.

The reason for this is that this city is very special and care must be taken.

Because of this, when the three-party joint exploration convoy drove into Axum, everyone saw such a shocking scene.

On every street that the joint exploration convoy passes, in addition to the Tigray police and TPLF soldiers who are armed with live ammunition to maintain law and order, there are countless Orthodox monks and believers in white robes.

There are also some monks wearing gold, red or black robes. These Orthodox monks have a higher status. They are like stars holding the moon, and they have huge influence.

All these Orthodox monks and believers stood on both sides of every street the joint exploration convoy passed through, watching this huge convoy.

Without exception, the eyes of these Ethiopian Orthodox monks and believers are full of anger and even hatred!

In addition to anger and hatred, there was also deep worry in the eyes of those high-level monks.

When the tripartite joint exploration convoy passed through these streets, the devout or fanatical Orthodox monks and believers on both sides of the street protested loudly and even shouted curses.

However, no one rushed out to block or attack the tripartite joint exploration convoy.

Obviously, these Orthodox monks and believers are organized, and someone is directing them behind the scenes.

The person commanding them is obviously the highest-level leader of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

Although this is the territory of the Tiren Formation, the Tiren Formation cannot command these fanatical Orthodox monks and believers. They can only try their best to protect the safety of the tripartite joint exploration convoy.

Looking at this situation in Axum City, everyone in the three-party joint exploration team felt a creepy feeling.

The enthusiastic performance of these Ethiopian Orthodox monks and believers on the street also made everyone have some doubts about the success of this exploration operation in Aksum.

“This scene is too exaggerated, Steven. Compared with these fanatical Orthodox monks and believers, the Tigrayan people we met before who protested seemed much gentler!

If we really discovered Solomon’s treasure and the ark of the covenant in Axum, can we really take away Solomon’s treasure and the ark? I feel there is little hope, or even no hope!

These fanatical Orthodox monks and believers can definitely swamp us in an instant. In this case, if you want to take away the Ark of the Covenant, there is only one possibility, which is to fight out of Aksum! ”

David said worriedly, with even a bit of fear in his eyes.

Ye Tian looked at the situation outside the car window, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile:

“If we can really find the remaining treasures of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant in Aksum, how to take them away is a question for Israel and the Vatican to consider.

My first consideration is the personal safety of each of us, and how to evacuate Axum and Tigray in the shortest possible time!

Only when life safety is guaranteed, will I consider how to take away the remaining Solomon treasures to ensure the company's interests to the greatest extent"

"Yes, in such a fanatical religious holy land, and with everyone in the world facing enemies, the first thing we must consider is how to get out of here alive, rather than making a fortune"

David continued.

While he was talking, the two police cars driving ahead suddenly stopped.

The three-party joint exploration convoy following behind also had to stop.

Both sides of the street where the motorcade was located were lined with fanatical Orthodox monks and believers. Everyone's eyes were very unfriendly, even full of malice.

Ye Tian quickly scanned the situation outside, then picked up the walkie-talkie and asked:

"What happened earlier? Heyman, was he attacked? Or was there an accident?"

The next moment, Seaman's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Steven, there are some senior Ethiopian Orthodox monks blocking the road ahead. They want to communicate with us and discuss the actions of the tripartite joint exploration team in Aksum!"

Without any hesitation, Ye Tian responded immediately:

"Let Joshua and Bishop Kent come forward to communicate with each other. Neither I nor Intrepid Exploration will participate in any issues or discussions related to religion. This has been made clear before!"

"Understood, Steven, I will tell Joshua and the others"

Seaman responded and immediately ended the call.

A moment later, a diplomat representing the Israeli government and a senior monk from the Vatican got out of their respective cars!

Next, they walked forward, accompanied by representatives of the People's Liberation Army and Ethiopian religious circles, preparing to communicate with the senior Orthodox monks blocking the way.

The Orthodox monks and believers standing on both sides of the street were slowly moving forward and slowly swarming towards the convoy.

With their actions, the atmosphere on the street suddenly became more tense.

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Ye Tian, ​​who was sitting in the car, had already grabbed the G36C short assault rifle at his side, ready to deal with emergencies at any time!
