Chapter 466 The Future

There is a question that has been bothering Kriolev.

That is... what will Herman's future look like?

And now, he saw part of the answer to that question.

He saw how the Fourth Army captured Rozes City... Well, from a military point of view, there were no highlights in this attack. Even in the eyes of this veteran general, the battle was It's a bit slow, not ideal.

But that's not the point. The point is... He saw a battlefield that was completely different from what he remembered.

After capturing the city of Rozes, the Fourth Army did not burn, kill, and loot the place. On the contrary, they immediately began to send soldiers to maintain order in the city and strictly prohibited any looting and usurpation. This was very important to Kriolev and others. It's very new to people because this has always been considered part of war. Soldiers' fear of death and the pressure caused by war need to be relaxed and vented, so this behavior is tacitly tolerated within a certain range.

But the Fourth Legion is obviously different. Soldiers are strictly prohibited from performing similar actions. They are responsible for patrolling the city and maintaining law and order. At first, the residents of Rose City seemed worried about this, but when they discovered that these soldiers did not threaten them, they relaxed a lot.

But, it doesn't stop there.

Shortly after occupying the city of Roses, the Fourth Legion opened a special court to declare to the residents of Roses that the city had been liberated from the hands of the Council and returned to the name of the emperor. And those lackeys of the Council will also be judged. Then, those nobles and officials who relied on the majesty of the Council to oppress the people in the city of Roses were imprisoned, arrested, tried in public, and then executed.

Their wealth will be captured by the Fourth Legion, and the food and some daily necessities will be distributed to the poor people. The houses and land will either be returned to the original owners, or temporarily used by the Fourth Legion for other purposes.

After all this is over, the Fourth Army will send people to tell the residents of Rose City why they are fighting - of course, the central idea is only one, that is, Prime Minister Stisser and the Council have controlled the emperor and captured The country has become what it is now, and what the Fourth Legion has to do is to restore orthodoxy, defeat the Council, and then let the emperor take power again...

“Why do you do this??”

Looking at the man who was preaching to the people in the distance, Rolex frowned, while Duanmuhuai shrugged.

"It's very simple, because we hope to get the support of the people. Soldiers are also human beings and they come from these people. Only by letting them know what they are fighting for will they not have any doubts."

Having said this, Duanmuhuai glanced at Kriolev silently.

"Instead of being like an old man who doesn't even know what he wants to do."

"hehe……………"

Kriolev smiled bitterly and said nothing. He understood what Duanmuhuai meant. Indeed, although he and Rolex felt that this was a waste of time, if they thought about it carefully, it would be simpler to let the people of this city know what was going on and why they were doing it to gain their understanding, at least in terms of governance.

It's just that in the past, as commanders of the legions, they only needed to focus on fighting. Political issues such as internal governance were not something that soldiers should be involved in.

"Your Majesty the Inquisitor."

At this moment, Qildi appeared in front of Duanmuhuai with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?"

"We received reports from the masses that some officials had fled to the AL Church and hid. Originally we wanted to go in and search, but the AL priest rejected our request and even called on believers to defend the church...claimed If we want to enter the church, we must step over their bodies."

Speaking of this, Qildi also made a helpless gesture.

"Now we have no way to force our way into the church..."

"snort."

Duanmuhuai snorted after hearing Qildi's report.

"Take me over there and have a look."

Soon, Qildi brought Duanmu Huai to the AL Church in Royce City Square. At the gate, dozens of civilian believers were standing around a fat-headed and big-eared priest, standing there with Qi Erdi. Erti's Guards faced off against the soldiers of the Fourth Army.

And the priest with the fat head and big ears was also talking nonsense at this moment.

"You don't even want to enter this church! This is the place where the sacred goddess Alice lives. You barbaric and vulgar soldiers are not allowed to enter! Even if you occupy this city, you can't even think about defiling the great sanctuary of the goddess Alice!"

Facing this priest who was as crazy as a dancing god, everyone was speechless, and a group of people from Rozes gathered around, looking at the church in front of them with uneasy eyes.

"This is going to be interesting."

Seeing this scene, Rolex whistled and whispered to Kriolev.

"I'm most annoyed by this group of magicians. Talking to them can make people mad. I don't know how this judge plans to deal with them."

"……………………"

Kriolev did not speak, but nodded slightly. He also agreed with Rolex's opinion. The priests of the AL religion are all very pious - or stubborn. And if one of them is not handled well, the reputation of the Fourth Army in Rozes City will also be affected. Now he also wants to see what Duanmu Huai plans to do.

"snort."

Looking at the AL priest who was making such nonsense, Duanmuhuai snorted and strode forward. When he saw Duanmu Huai's figure, the AL priest suddenly turned pale.

"Here's, here's! Get out of here, this is no place for heretics like you!"

"AL Cult, you believe in the goddess Alice, right?"

"That's right!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the priest suddenly showed an expression of excitement and enthusiasm.

"The great goddess Alice guides and saves the world! She created the world and lovingly protects mankind! She is a great and sacred god!"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"In that case, let me ask you, when the people of this city are oppressed, bullied, and abused by the lackeys of the Council, where is the goddess Alice you believe in? Shouldn't she come out to save everyone?"

"this……………"

Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, the priest was speechless for a moment.

However, Duanmuhuai did not give him a chance to think and organize his words, but continued to stare at him coldly.

"Or...are you just making excuses? Didn't you perform your duties as an AL priest at all? Otherwise, why are the people in this city suffering here, but the goddess Alice knows nothing about it? Isn't it that you and those people The damn council lackeys are working together to deceive the public!"

"This... no... no! I am a devout believer...!"

The fat priest was so anxious that he was sweating. He didn't expect this man to be so ruthless and slap him with such a big label! In fact, many of the believers around him have begun to look at him with suspicion!

"In that case, let us go in and search. If those guys are not inside, I will believe that you are still a devout priest who believes in the goddess Alice."

"……………………"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Looking at the fat priest's face that turned green and white, Rolex also shook his head and looked at Kriolev.

"Are all these religious people born to confuse right and wrong?"

"hehe………"

It’s no wonder that Rolex has this idea. If Duanmu Huai denies the existence of the goddess Alice here, then his heretical status as the judge of the Tribunal will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other believers.

But Duanmuhuai didn't do this. On the contrary, he did the opposite and directly attacked the AL priest, thinking that he was disloyal! Not a devout believer in goddess Alice! So in this way, the direct target has changed, and for other AL cult believers, the current problem is not the goddess Alice, but this fat-headed, big-slapping priest who eats and doesn't do anything!

Of course Rolex doesn’t know, the Inquisition is the best at this!

What four-armed emperor?

What second empire?

What is the Greater Good?

You are disloyal. Someone, drag me down and chop you!

Just kidding, when it comes to trying heretics, who dares to compare professionally with the Inquisition?

"No, this, but..."

Facing Duanmuhuai's angry rebuke, the fat-headed and big-eared priest turned pale, sweating, and could not speak clearly. But Duanmu Huai didn't care, and strode towards the door.

At this moment, the believers were not as determined as before. When they saw Duanmu Huai coming, they all retreated to both sides. The priest even collapsed on the ground, looking at the huge figure that almost enveloped him in horror.

Duanmu Huai didn't even look at the other party, he directly opened the door and then made a gesture.

"Search for me!"

After hearing Duanmu Huai's order, the soldiers of the Fourth Legion immediately rushed into the church. After a while, accompanied by screams like slaughtering pigs, they saw several nobles being dragged out of the church by the soldiers of the Fourth Legion.

Seeing this scene, the priest's face became even more dejected.

"take away."

Duanmuhuai glanced coldly at the nobles who were crying for their fathers and mothers, gave the order casually, and then looked at the priest who was slumped on the ground.

"And this hypocrite under the guise of a goddess, take him to trial together! Then conduct a public trial!"

"——————!"

Hearing this, the fat-headed and big-eared priest was angry and anxious. Finally, he rolled his eyes... and passed out.

"………………"

Seeing the priest being taken away, Lucian, who was hiding in the crowd, had a complicated expression. After Kriolev surrendered, she followed Kildi's personal guards back to the rear and acted with the Fourth Army. In the process, Lucian also saw the lives of many people at the bottom, as well as their pain and tragedy.

And now... even the priests of the AL religion are colluding with these guys, are they just trying to make a fool of the people?

Why did Herman become like this?

Thinking of this, Luxian shook her head, and at this moment, her eyes suddenly met Kriolev who was looking over here. This immediately shocked Luxian, and she hurriedly lowered her head. head, then turned around and left with the other soldiers.

"Um?"

"What's wrong? General Kriolev?"

"No, nothing............"

Kriolev withdrew his gaze from the back of the girl in civilian clothes, showing a puzzled expression, and then shook his head.

"I saw an acquaintance."

"Here?"

"Maybe they just look similar, maybe I saw it wrong."
