Chapter 71 The situation has changed
After discovering that the old bishop was a follower of the evil god, the situation immediately changed. The soldiers immediately tied up the old bishop and took him into custody. Others also looked shocked... Apparently they did not expect that the bishop of the Church of Sigmar would actually be a believer of the evil god.
The witch hunter volunteered to interrogate the old bishop, and the three battle nuns were naturally released. Since the old bishop himself is a follower of the evil god, it is clear how credible his statement is.
Duanmuhuai was not surprised that the old bishop was a believer of the evil god. The believers of the four evil gods each had their own specific scope, and he understood this very well.
The believers of the violent god are basically warriors with muscles in their brains.
Believers of the God of Desire are mostly concentrated in the field of culture and entertainment, such as liberal arts and art students such as writers and painters.
Although the God of Disease is considered a philanthropist, his followers are mainly distributed among the lower class poor and in the field of biomedicine. If some biologist came up with a T-virus and claimed it could cure diseases, no need to ask, he must be a believer in the God of Disease.
The God of Deceit takes the upper-level route, and most of its followers are powerful high-level people and spellcasters. The biggest characteristic of believers of the God of Deceit is that they like to complicate simple things, like murder. Others probably just rush over and kill the person with a swing of their knife (of course, those who do this are basically violent believers). The believers of the God of Deception will be like those idle murderers in Conan, setting up a fake scene, and then come up with a murder method, preferably a mechanism or something - whether it is useful or not first Needless to say, in short, it must be extremely complicated.
You have to make it simple. Don’t say that you are a deceitful believer. It will be embarrassing if you say it.
Therefore, the appearance of any deceitful believer means that behind him are layers of intricate conspiracies and conspiracies - again, whether they can succeed is another matter.
The old man in front of him is the high-ranking bishop of the Church of Sigmar, so it is natural that he would be infiltrated by the deceitful god, but...that's where the problem lies.
"The interrogation is over."
At this time, the witch hunter also appeared in front of Duanmuhuai and whispered.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the witch hunter in front of him who was wearing a big-brimmed hat and always hiding his face under the turban, Duanmu Huai asked. He still trusts this witch hunter, who is equivalent to the local version of the inquisitor. In this regard, the two of them can still cooperate.
"He is a member of the Purple Hand. He came here this time to carry out an order, secretly control the command of the imperial army, and then occupy Mordheim. As for what he will do next, he does not know. If If successful, Wu Zi Hand will send people to continue the next mission.”
"Mysterious, it's really the usual method of these idiots."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.
"How to deal with it?"
"Report the truth to General Pastor and give him a headache."
Facing the witch hunter's words, Duanmu Huai made a decision directly. He has been dealing with the followers of the deceitful god for more than a day or two, so he naturally knows how to deal with these bastards. In fact, when you discover the conspiracy of the deceitful god and plan to get involved, you have already unknowingly been on their chessboard. It's like you're looking for a hidden treasure in a castle, and by the time you try to decipher it or something, you've already lost.
So what to do?
Wouldn't it be better to just dig three feet into the ground of the castle?
When dealing with deceitful believers, you can't play with them. You can just lift the chessboard and hit them. Once you play with them, you lose whether you win or lose.
So Duanmuhuai just threw the hot potato away. As for General Pastor's headache, that was his business.
Of course, it is possible that General Pastor himself is a deceitful believer, but... Judging from his previous performance, Duanmuhuai doubted whether the deceitful god liked him.
"Then I'll go."
The witch hunter said with a serious expression, Duanmu Huai didn't say much. After all, this matter was of great importance and we couldn't just let a soldier report it.
General Pastor's reaction was faster than Duanmuhuai expected. After learning the news, he followed the witch hunter to the temple overnight. So Duanmuhuai had to yawn and once again participated in the emergency meeting convened by General Pastor.
"I already know the situation."
In the room, illuminated by candlelight, General Pastor's expression was quite serious.
"Who else knows about this?"
"At least people here know...what's the problem?"
"..." Facing Duanmuhuai, General Pastor frowned, but in the end, he still spoke.
"Actually...the plan this time is that the people from the Church of Sigmar convinced His Majesty the Emperor, so they came to recover Mordheim..."
"Oh..."
Hearing this, Duanmuhuai said "oh" meaningfully, and immediately understood what General Paster meant. The witch hunter also snorted and said.
"I have long heard that the Hands of Purple Purple have been trying to replace the emperor and control the empire. Even the sudden death of the previous emperor was inseparable from them..."
Having said this, the three people present all understood what it meant. The Church of Sigmar persuaded the eldest prince to send people to recover Mordheim, and the high-ranking representative of the Church of Sigmar was a treacherous believer. So does the eldest prince also believe in the deceitful god? After all, his current position on the throne is not very secure, and he may seek help from the evil god. Compared to the ugly God of Disease and the brainless God of Tyranny, the God of Deception is a better choice.
Think about it again, the emperor's sudden death during the expedition was probably the work of a deceitful believer.
If you think about it further, maybe this is the collaboration between the eldest prince and the evil sect called Wuzi Hand...
Well, when you think of it, you don’t need to think about it any more.
"This really surprises me. I thought you were going to kill us to silence us."
Duanmu Huai looked at General Paster in slight surprise. Although there was currently no evidence to prove that the eldest prince was related to the Black Hand and the God of Deception, there was also no evidence to prove his innocence. He originally thought that General Pastor would deal with them secretly while the matter was not getting serious.
"I am an imperial general and a believer in Sigma. Maybe I am not so religious, but I have not fallen into the company of the Chaos God."
Pastor blew his beard and said decisively. Of course, Duanmu Huai just listened to what he said.
"So, what to do next?"
"Nothing can be done."
Pastor shook his head.
"I must take Mordheim. This is a death order from His Majesty the Emperor."
"Oh?"
"My family is all in Altdorf."
"Oh..."
Hearing this, Duanmuhuai immediately understood why Pastor came to discuss it with them immediately after learning about it.
"So what you're saying is, let's push this down?"
"Yes, I understand His Majesty the Emperor's temper very well. He will never admit that he has been deceived by the followers of the evil god under any circumstances. Even if he knows that there is a problem, he will still persist to the end. And... Frankly speaking, I There is no other way.”
"………………"
Duanmuhuai and the witch hunter looked at each other, and then Duanmuhuai shrugged.
"Well, since we don't have any other clues, let's just stick with this for now. After all, it's not a bad thing to regain this city and liberate it from the hands of Chaos. As for what problems there are... we'll talk about it then. ”
The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth, but Duanmu Huai hoped that the eldest prince would be related to the Chaos Evil God, so that he would not have any psychological burden when he snatched the holy objects.
As for now...just wait and see.
