Chapter 453 Payment
Krim is not stupid, Duanmuhuai has made it so clear, she will be a fool if she doesn't understand what she should do. After that, Kerim gathered the remnants of the Fourth Army and executed the general Nero who ordered the Fourth Army to die in public. At the same time, she also announced that the Fourth Army would march towards the imperial capital with the slogan "King of Diligence" , rescue Emperor Sheila from Prime Minister Stisser and the Council of Ministers who control the government!
So next, two aggressive messages were sent from the Tribunal and the Fourth Legion and spread throughout the continent.
The Inquisition's message was directed at the Archbishop of AL Cult Oz, claiming that he was tempted by the demons and dared to declare war on the Inquisition frantically, which was an unforgivable crime. And now Priest Oz is inciting the Herman Empire to become enemies of the Inquisition, which is even more wrong. If they think they can make the Tribunal bow their heads by relying on the power of the Herman Empire, then the Tribunal would not mind letting these heretics see the wrath of the Tribunal!
The message of the Fourth Army led by Krim directly targeted the council headed by Prime Minister Stisser, claiming that Prime Minister Stisser used the emperor's young age as an excuse to control state affairs, disrupt the country, and imprison the emperor. There is no forgiveness for sin. And the act of colluding with Priest Oz to sacrifice the soldiers of the Fourth Legion for their own selfish interests is even more unforgivable. Therefore, for the Kingdom of Herman and Emperor Sheila, the Fourth Legion will go to the imperial capital of Langbaton with the Tribunal to kill the sycophants and protect the imperial power!
The two letters each have their own emphasis. The Inquisition's target is Archbishop Oz, while the Fourth Legion's target is the Council headed by Prime Minister Stisser. This was also Duanmu Huai's idea.
Many times, people prefer to purge institutions and attack collectives. For example, a regional attack, or another example, pulling out the entire O Association and shooting them. Everyone likes to say this. But in fact, attacking collectives and institutions means little. If you hate the people in a certain place, you can't wipe them all out without an extermination order.
The same is true for dealing with the AL religion. The reason why these institutions exist is because of their irreplaceability. Even if one is destroyed, another one will appear.
It's like everyone says officials are corrupt, but it's impossible to say that all officials should be dragged out and beheaded. Then who will run the country?
Therefore, when facing this kind of thing, it is very effective to focus on the individual and focus.
It would not be beneficial for Duanmu Huai to be the enemy of the entire AL cult, but if he desperately captures Bishop Oz, then it is impossible for Bishop Oz to get more information from within the AL cult as the AL cult has not yet elected the next king. Much support. After all, he is not the only one who wants to become the King of France, and for Priest Oz's opponents, maybe this is a good thing.
The fourth legion's slogan is the same, saying that it would be comfortable to overthrow the entire country and eliminate the entire aristocratic class, but this will only cause groups to attack. But if the target is the council headed by Prime Minister Stisser, then it is another matter. Even if Prime Minister Stisse uses the power of Empress Dowager Permila to dominate the world, it does not mean that other senior officials will like him.
At this time, his enemies may also take the opportunity to contain Stisser.
So many times, it is very important to have a clear goal. It is nice to talk about getting rid of all these things, but unless the situation is serious enough to require the use of an extermination order, even Duanmu Huai, as a judge, will not do it casually. Engage in mass murder—especially in the human world.
After all, the Inquisitor is not a Gray Knight.
Of course, it would be another matter if it were an alien planet.
Another reason why Duanmuhuai did this is that the Tribunal has begun to recruit believers everywhere.
In this case, there is no benefit in openly opposing the AL religion. After all, the AL religion can be regarded as the national religion in this world. If the Inquisition were to directly confront the AL Cult, it would definitely cause unrest and dissatisfaction among the people.
But if the Tribunal only takes action against a priest of the AL religion, then the situation will be different.
This is a personal grudge and does not rise to the level of a confrontation between two sects.
No matter how powerful Master Oz is, he is only influential among his base. Apart from the base, who knows him?
Once these two messages were issued, they immediately caused an uproar throughout the continent.
Likewise, this was a bombshell for the Hermann Council.
"………………"
The atmosphere in the dim military conference room was extremely tense at the moment, and the four people sitting at the table looked even pale.
"This is simply unreasonable and nonsense!!"
Prime Minister Stisse slammed the table angrily and shouted angrily. On weekdays, he is still a man who shows no emotion or anger, and seems to be quite intellectual. However, now, these two letters have made him almost angry!
"It's ridiculous to say that we imprison the emperor and control the country's affairs! The emperor is still young, and the empress dowager is temporarily acting as his assistant. Everyone knows that, do these damn traitors think that such a level of lies can turn right and wrong? ? ”
"………………"
Hearing Prime Minister Stisser's roar, Commander-in-Chief of Hermann's Army Kechak and Economic Chief Patton present silently rolled their eyes. If this is really nonsense, why are you jumping here? Who here doesn’t know that this is true? It’s okay to pretend in public. Now we are just pretending to ourselves here. It’s too much.
"Commander-in-Chief!"
After venting his anger, Prime Minister Stisser stared fiercely at Hermann Army Commander-in-Chief Kechak, who was also stunned under Prime Minister Stisser's eyes that seemed to be burning with anger. Although he is the commander-in-chief of the Hermannian army, Kechak is not a qualified soldier. Similar to Nero, he also relied on his family background and status to reach this position. He does not look like a Hermannian. Yes, his thin body can prove this.
"Yes."
"How are you going to deal with the rebellion of the Fourth Army!"
"This..."
Facing Prime Minister Stisser's inquiry, Kechak also broke out in a cold sweat.
"There is currently no good solution. According to the intelligence from the scouts, there are still 20,000 people in the Fourth Army..."
"Don't you have anything you can do?!!"
Prime Minister Stisse slammed the table angrily again. It was not unreasonable for him to be so impatient. After all, no one would have thought that rebels would attack them in the name of "Qing Jun Side". In addition, they knew that what the other party said was true. In this case, Stisser was even more afraid that other legions would imitate the Fourth Legion and rebel directly!
Especially the first legion guarding the periphery of the royal city...
"Put this issue aside for now, Prime Minister." Just as the Commander-in-Chief broke out in a cold sweat when Stisser questioned him, the fat and fat economic chief Basu next to him patted his belly, which was as fat as a pig. A cold light flashed through the slits of a pair of eyes that had almost disappeared due to the squeeze of fat, staring at Stisser.
"About the Tribunal... This is the first time I have heard about it. How did the relationship between Herman and the Tribunal come to be like this? Did you really reach an agreement with the Archbishop of Oz from the AL religion? Agreement? Now that the Inquisition's forces have joined forces with the rebels, how should we respond?"
“Woo………………”
Upon hearing the Chief Economic Officer's question, Stisser, who had been yelling just now, suddenly stopped moving like a duck that had its throat strangled.
Part of the reason why he was so angry before was because he wanted to hide this. After all, the agreement he reached with Bishop Oz was a private agreement that could never be known to others.
But soon, Stisser thought of a way.
"This explains exactly what the problem is. Bishop Oz suspects that the Tribunal has an affair with the demons, and the fact that the other party dares to use this as an excuse to invade Herman is enough to prove that these people are bold and may be accomplices of the demons! I suggest that the Second Legion should be sent immediately to join the Fifth Legion to eliminate the thieves of the Tribunal and the rebels together!”
"The Second Army is currently guarding the western defense line. Do we really want to mobilize them?"
Hearing this, the Commander-in-Chief hesitated. After all, the demon defense line was the big deal. If it was breached due to lack of troops... Seth had learned from the past, and he didn't want to repeat the same mistakes in Hermann.
"This is an order!"
"…………Yes."
Since the Prime Minister issued the order and the Queen Mother, as the Speaker, had no objection, the Commander-in-Chief had no choice but to nod.
I have to say... He has a very bad feeling now.
Just when King Hermann's City was in chaos, Duanmuhuai was also looking at the intelligence from Seth and Lisas in his hands.
While issuing the proclamation, the Tribunal also started recruiting believers in these two countries. Of course, the Tribunal does not need a gorgeous church like the AL Church. Basically, it only needs to put up a holy statue, and then anyone can worship it - after all, as long as you pray and gain strength, then your soul will be with the Tribunal. Bound.
Of course, Duanmuhuai left this aspect of missionary work to Lorena and other missionary priests. After all, they were professionals in this aspect.
At the moment, the progress on both sides is good.
This is also normal. Both Lisas and Seth are countries that have been saved by Duanmu Huai. The citizens of that country are naturally grateful to Duanmuhuai and the Tribunal. Especially for the Seth Kingdom, Duanmu Huai used Sky City to transfer millions of people. As long as the people inside had some conscience, Duanmu Huai would immediately have many more believers.
Judging from the reports from both sides, the current rate of Seth and Lisas absorbing believers is almost 6:4. Seth's citizens are more enthusiastic about the Tribunal of Faith. As for Lisas, Princess Leia also made great efforts to promote it nationwide. She even wanted to drive the AL religion out of Lisas, but was stopped by Duanmu Huai.
Religions that no one wants will die sooner or later, don't do it yourself.
This is actually quite normal. After all, when these two countries suffered from annihilation, the AL cult did not show up to help. It was just that they had no choice. If there was a choice... then you would definitely choose the one with more aura, right?
According to the intelligence, there is currently a lot of discussion within the AL diocese about this. Unfortunately, the new Dharma King has not been elected, and they can only stare...
Great, just do it.
Duanmuhuai nodded and walked out of the door. However, at this moment, a voice sounded beside Duanmuhuai.
"Hello, Lord Duanmu."
"Oh?"
Duanmuhuai looked around - lowered his head - and then saw the petite Qildi standing there.
"What's the matter?"
"It's like this. We captured a group of slave traders and brought them back with the slaves. How should we deal with them?"
"Slave traders?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.
"Take me to see it."
Then, he spoke.
