Chapter 474 It’s Not over Yet!
In this way, the unrest in Herman finally came to an end.
With the arrest of Styser and Queen Mother Pamela, the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth Legions simultaneously declared their allegiance to the emperor, and Herman quickly regained peace and entered the reconstruction work.
But this does not mean that things are over.
Herman is temporarily busy with domestic political and economic reconstruction, but the news that Prime Minister Styser massacred hundreds of thousands of residents in the royal city and transformed them into flesh and blood puppets has also spread throughout the continent!
When watching those fearless soldiers frantically attacking, but being crushed by the iron violence of the Tribunal, everyone was shocked.
On the one hand, they were shocked that Styser dared to make such a bold move, and on the other hand, they were also shocked that the true strength of the Tribunal was so terrifying. All those who saw the battlefield images can be sure that if it were their country's army, they would encounter this fearless and terrifying undead army... Then there would probably be only one way to die.
From this point of view, the Tribunal is afraid that it has saved the world again...
But this is not over yet.
Because just after this news spread across the continent, the Tribunal unexpectedly issued a statement—they believed that the AL Church's Oz Bishop was involved with Styser, so they demanded that Oz Bishop must accept the Tribunal's review!
If he doesn't come, the Tribunal will directly arrest him!
As soon as this announcement came out, the world was in an uproar.
Everyone remembered that the Tribunal's massive attack on Herman was originally because Herman's Prime Minister Styser chose to cooperate with the Oz Bishop to issue a warrant for the Tribunal!
Of course, if it was just that, it would be fine, but now Prime Minister Styser actually slaughtered the residents of the Royal City and even made their bodies into flesh and blood puppets, which is a terrifying existence.
This made many people instinctively doubt whether all this had anything to do with the AL Church?
After all, Styser was just a prime minister, where did he get this technology?
But if this technology came from the AL Church, then everything can be explained!
Of course, this is just a conspiracy theory circulating in the market, but it suits the appetite of many people. In the past, people might not have arranged the AL religion in this way, but the problem is that the situation is different.
In just a few years, Lisas collapsed due to the invasion of demons, then Seth was almost destroyed by the attack of the demon army, and now there is the turmoil of Herman. Each of these events is almost a major event that affects the continent. However, in these crises, it was the Inquisition and Duanmu Huai who finally eliminated the demons and solved the crisis.
What is the use of the AL religion?
Of course, there is not only the AL religion in this world, but also the Hani religion. However, the Hani religion itself is a neurotic monster like Hani, which is the same as the Flying Spaghetti God Cult. People don’t expect to change anything by believing in it. But the problem is that the AL religion has always claimed that the goddess Alice loves humans and saves the world.
Here comes the problem.
The Inquisition has always claimed that its goal is to protect humans and defeat all existences that threaten humans, and they have indeed done what they said.
But...what about the AL religion?
In just a few years, countries have encountered so many crises. Why is the AL religion like a dead person?
Of course, this is not to say that the bishops of the AL Church did nothing, but their work was more about treating the wounded and preaching, and they did not do anything to save the world.
Of course, if there is no comparison, they have made contributions.
Well, without comparison, there is no harm.
However, with comparison, harm appears.
The AL Church wanted to say that the evil people in the Tribunal complained first, but everyone saw the existence of the flesh and blood puppets, including the generals of Lisas and Seth, and Herman's Emperor Shira, who guaranteed their reputation. In this case, the AL Church really has no way to defend itself... And in fact, they really can't say that they are innocent!
Although ordinary believers don't know, the top leaders of the AL Church have been recovering the technology or props that they think will affect the balance of the world all over the world. When the top leaders of various countries didn't know, they secretly took away a lot of technology that could have greatly improved the civilization of the entire country.
As one of the candidates for the King of Law, Oz Bishop must have done similar work. If he had the technology of flesh and blood puppets in his hands and gave it to Styser to use... Well, in the eyes of other colleagues, this is not completely impossible.
"I said, it has nothing to do with me!!"
In the audience room under the AL Church, Bishop Oz stared at the others with a red face and a thick neck, and shouted loudly.
"I didn't know that Stice had mastered this technology! If I knew, I would definitely take it back!"
At this moment, Bishop Oz has indeed been forced into a corner.
After all, among the four candidates for the King of Fame, including him, Bishop Oz was the one who was most likely to be elected as the King of Fame. Among the other three, one is just the daughter of the former King of Fame, who relied on "nepotism" to get to the top, another is a mentally ill person who doesn't care about anything except the goddess Alice, and there is another one who is over a hundred years old, but... From the fact that the other party has participated in the election of the King of Fame for several consecutive times and failed in the end, it can be seen that this person is a runner-up.
Because of this, within the AL Church, Bishop Oz originally had the highest reputation and the most people who supported him.
But when the flesh and blood puppet incident came out, many people immediately drew a clear line with him.
However, in the face of Bishop Oz's defense, others obviously had no idea.
"That makes no sense, Bishop Oz."
Sitting in a wheelchair, the old man who was twice as old as Bishop Oz grinned and showed a cold smile.
"You should know very well that if you leaked this technology to Herman, then you would be negligent in your duty. And if you did not discover that Herman possesses this technology that is enough to destroy the balance of the world, and recycle it, the same It’s also your fault.”
"……………………"
Oz was so angry that he had nothing to say. In fact, as the old man said, regardless of whether the flesh puppet technology had something to do with him or not, it was his dereliction of duty.
However…………
"If you say that I have neglected my duty, don't you all feel the same way here? The Tribunal is right there. For so long, have any of you ever done anything to the Tribunal or that judge? Have you sealed or recycled him? Don't the Tribunal not Is it the most disruptive force on this continent? Although my plan failed, at least I tried it, what about you?"
"……………………"
As Bishop Oz spoke, the hall suddenly fell into a strange and embarrassing atmosphere.
Indeed, as Bishop Oz said, at least he has tried to deal with the Tribunal. The other three people... basically just trying to get involved with the Tribunal.
According to the standards of AL teaching, all four of them are derelict in their duties, but at least Archbishop Oz may still get the "Effort Award", and the others may not even get the "Salted Fish Award".
"Now is not the time to think about that."
The old man coughed dryly and ignored this embarrassing topic.
"The problem now is that the number of followers of the AL religion is gradually decreasing, and we must find a way to reverse this trend!"
As the old man said, compared to the previous issues, this issue is even related to the life and death of the AL religion.
Originally, after what happened with Lisas and Seth, the number of followers of the AL Cult decreased a lot. Originally, the AL Cult also tried to repair its image, but what they didn't expect was that because of Bishop Oz, Duanmu Huai decisively chose to go head-on with the AL religion and directly chose to preach in both countries.
Moreover, the preaching of the Tribunal is not the same as that of the AL Cult. They do not build churches like the AL Cult. In other words, they only set up some icons of the Tribunal in some public areas. At most, they send a few soldiers to maintain them. Order, anyone can come forward to pray, and they are not required to pay any fees. And I heard that the icon of the Tribunal can even cure diseases, especially some diseases that are difficult to cure. As long as they pray, they can be cured.
Birth, aging, illness and death are things that humans will always have to face, and being able to cure diseases is the greatest benefit to almost everyone.
Not to mention that the Tribunal is not like the AL Cult, where you need to hire a priest and spend money. You only need to go to the square of the Tribunal, and then pray to the icon with the image of a skull and a hammer, and say something casually. If you pray for something normal, you will feel your whole body warm, and then all the diseases on your body will subside!
Simple and convenient, isn’t this much better than AL teaching? The priests of the AL religion not only require money to treat people, but sometimes they even ask them to pay more. In contrast, the Inquisition only requires you to pray a few words, and does not care about your efforts at all. It has a Buddhist attitude of "no money anyway, just have some faith"...
It is precisely because of this that many people have become believers in the Tribunal. After all, the treatment of diseases is really quick and the effect is immediate. In addition, you don't charge money, and your believe-it-or-not attitude... Not only are you deeply loved among the common people, but even among the nobles, many people have become believers of the Tribunal.
After all, although rich people have money, it does not mean that they like to owe others favors. Compared to oweing favors to the priests of the AL Church, they would rather use this method, even if they can spend more money to repair the church of the Tribunal. , it’s better than bowing your head and begging for help!
In the past they had no choice, now they want to be good people!
Of course, if you say this, you don’t know if you really mean it.
But no matter what, the AL religion is indeed in big trouble now.
There are fewer and fewer believers, and fewer and fewer people come to send money. In addition, as soon as the Herman incident came out, all countries suddenly became worried about the AL religion and suppressed it one after another.
The AL Sect's original backbone and confidence were civilians, but after the events involving Lisas, Seth, and Herman, the people of these three major countries, including the Free Cities Alliance, no longer had any trust in the AL Sect.
When they were invaded by demons, it was the Inquisition that saved them.
Not to mention Herman's side, the AL cult actually colluded with Prime Minister Stisser to exploit them!
in this case……………
"boom!!"
However, just when everyone was worried, suddenly, a violent vibration came, making everyone stunned.
"What's wrong? What happened!?"
Bishop Oz jumped up in surprise and looked around uneasily. However, before he could do anything else, there was suddenly a loud noise and the originally closed door was blasted open, followed by a heavily armed AL. The teaching paladin was smashed in and hit his head against the wall.
Immediately afterwards, a tall and terrifying figure strode into the audience room.
"you you you…………!"
"You must be Bishop Oz."
Duanmuhuai stared coldly at the pale middle-aged man in front of him, and then walked directly towards him.
"Since you dare not come out, then I will come to you now... In the name of the Tribunal, I will punish you. Go to hell! Your soul will burn in the flames and then completely turn into nothingness. !”
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and grabbed the opponent's head. Then he twisted it violently, and then saw that Bishop Oz's head was like the lid of a mineral water bottle, being forcefully removed from his body. Twist it off and pull it out!
"Ah...evil, devil————!!"
Seeing this scene, the old man in the wheelchair screamed, stretched out his hand to cover his chest, rolled his eyes... and died completely in front of Duanmu Huai's fearful aura.
"In the name of the goddess Alice...!!"
At the same time, another bald priest with a goddess doll in his arms suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Duanmu Huai!
"I will destroy you, blasphemy————!"
However, before he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai swung his hand and hit him in the face, causing the bald man to spin fifteen and a half times in the air, and then his rag-like body fell to the ground. There was absolutely no movement.
"Humph, a bunch of trash."
Duanmuhuai waved his hand, and then looked at the last petite figure standing here.
"Do you want to stop me too?"
"What do you want to do here?"
The girl with the hat who looked very ordinary stared at Duanmuhuai and spoke in a tone without any emotion.
"It's very simple. I'm here to find the goddess Alice. I originally wanted to ask you how to find her, but now it seems..."
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he raised his hand, and dark flames burned in his hand. Then he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it forward.
"This is no longer necessary!"
The next moment, as Duanmu Huai spoke, the entire space of the audience room was torn open by him!
At the same time, a woman with blond hair, three pairs of wings, extremely sacred clothing, and holding a golden scepter appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.
"You shouldn't do this, a god from another world."
She looked at Duanmu Huai and said coldly.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"It's very simple."
Duanmuhuai clenched his fists and stared at the goddess Alice.
"Take me to the Creator God and I can spare your life."
"...What if I refuse?"
"reject?"
Hearing the answer from the goddess Alice, Duanmu Huai opened his mouth and showed a ferocious smile.
"You have no right to refuse in front of the Tribunal!!"
Before he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai suddenly jumped towards the goddess Alice!
