Start a Core Pod Chapter 465

  Chapter 465 Future

   There is one question that has been bothering Kriolev.

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

   And now, he sees a partial answer to that question.

He saw how the Fourth Army took the city of Roses... Well, from a military point of view, there was nothing bright about this attack, and even in the eyes of this experienced general, the battle itself There is still some procrastination, which is not ideal.

   But this is not the point, the point is...he saw a battlefield that was completely different from what he remembered.

After capturing the city of Roses, the Fourth Army did not burn, kill or loot here. On the contrary, they immediately dispatched soldiers to maintain order in the city, and strictly prohibited any acts of looting and occupation. It's very new, because it's always been seen as part of the war. Soldiers need to relax and vent their fear of death and the stress of war, so within a certain range, this kind of behavior is tacitly tolerated.

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

   But it doesn't stop there.

  Shortly after occupying Roses City, the Fourth Legion opened a special court to announce to the residents of Roses City that the city had been liberated from 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 oppressed the people in the city of Roses relying on the majesty of the Council were imprisoned, arrested, tried in public, and then executed.

  And their wealth will be seized by the Fourth Army, 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 Army for other purposes.

After all this is over, the Fourth Legion will send people to tell the residents of Roses City why they are fighting—of course, there is only one central idea, that is, the Prime Minister Steather and the council have controlled the emperor and seized the The country, that's why the country has become what it is now, and what the Fourth Legion has to do is to restore orthodoxy, defeat the council, and let the emperor take power again...

   "Why are you doing this??"

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

   "It's very simple, because we hope to gain the support of the people. Soldiers are also people, and they also come from these people. Only by letting them know what they are fighting for will they have no doubts."

   Having said this, Duanmuhuai silently glanced at Kriolev.

   "It won't be like some old man who doesn't even know what he wants to do."

"hehe………"

  Kriolev smiled bitterly, but did not speak, he understood what Duanmuhuai meant. Indeed, although he and Rolex felt that this was a waste of time, but after thinking about it carefully, it would be easier to let the people of this city know what was going on and why they were doing this, at least in terms of governance.

   It's just that they used to be the commanders of the legion, as long as they focused on fighting, political issues like this kind of internal governance were not something soldiers should participate in.

   "My lord judge."

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

"What's wrong?"

"We received reports from the masses that some officials had absconded and hid in the AL church. Originally we wanted to go in and search, but the priest of the AL religion refused our request and even called on believers to defend the church... claiming that if we To get into the church, you have to step over their dead bodies."

   Speaking of this, Kirti also gestured helplessly.

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

"snort."

  Hearing Kirti's report, Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.

   "Take me there to see."

Soon, Kirti brought Duanmu Huai to the front of the AL church located in the square of Royce City. At the gate, dozens of common believers were standing there surrounded by a fat priest with big ears. Gerthy's personal guards confronted soldiers of the Fourth Army.

   And that fat-headed and big-eared priest is also talking nonsense at this moment.

   "You don't want to enter this church! This is the place where the holy goddess Alice is. You barbaric and vulgar soldiers are not allowed to enter! Even if you occupy this city, you don't want to defile the great sanctuary of the goddess Alice!"

   Facing this priest who was insane like a jumping god, everyone was speechless, and a group of people from Roses gathered around, looking at the church in front of them with uneasy eyes.

   "This is interesting."

   Seeing this scene, Rolex whistled and whispered to Kriolev.

   "I hate this group of gods the most. Talking to them is really annoying, and I don't know how this judge is going to deal with them."

  Kriolev didn't speak, but nodded slightly. He also agreed with Rolex that the priests taught by AL are very devout—or stubborn. And if one is not handled well, then the reputation of the Fourth Army in Roses City will also be affected. Now he also wants to see what Duanmuhuai plans to do.

"snort."

  Looking at the AL priest who spoke so much, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, and strode forward. Seeing Duanmuhuai's figure, the AL priest's face turned pale.

   "Heretic, heresy! Get out of here, this is not a place where heretics like you can come!"

   "The AL religion, you believe in the goddess Alice, right?"

   "Exactly!"

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

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

"oh?"

  Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.

   "In that case, then I would like to ask you, when the people in this city are oppressed, bullied, and abused by the council's lackeys, where is the goddess Alice you believe in? Shouldn't she come out to save everyone?"

"this………"

   Facing Duanmu Huai's question, the priest was at a loss for words.

  However, Duanmu Huai 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? You didn't perform your duties as an AL priest at all? Otherwise, why did the people of this city suffer here, but the goddess Alice didn't know anything about it? Could it be that you and those damned Are the running dogs of the Council working together to deceive the public?!"

   "This... no... not! I am a devout believer...!"

  The fat-headed and big-eared priest was sweating anxiously at the moment. He didn't expect this man to be so ruthless, and he put such a big hat on himself when he came up! In fact, many of the believers around him now have begun to look at him suspiciously!

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

   "Tsk tsk tsk."

   Seeing the face of the fat priest with big ears turning green and then white, Rolex also shook his head and looked at Kriolev.

   "Are these religious people all born to turn right and wrong into black and white?"

"hehe……"

   It is no wonder that Rolex has this idea. If Duanmuhuai denies the existence of the goddess Alice here, then his heretical status as a judge of the Inquisition Chamber will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other believers.

  But Duanmuhuai didn't do this. On the contrary, he did the opposite, directly ranting against the AL priest, thinking that he was not loyal! Not a devout believer in the goddess Alice! So in this way, the direct target has changed, and for other AL believers, the current problem is not the goddess Alice, but this fat priest who is slapped and can't do anything!

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

  What four-armed emperor?

   What Second Reich?

  What is the best way?

  You are disloyal, come here, drag it down and cut it off!

   Just kidding, when it comes to judging heresy, who dares to compare professionally with the Tribunal?

   "No, this, but..."

   Facing Duanmuhuai's angry reprimand, the fat-headed and big-eared priest's face was pale, cold sweat broke out, and he couldn't speak well. But Duanmuhuai didn't care, but walked towards the door with great strides.

  At this moment, those believers were not as determined as before. Seeing Duanmu Huai approaching, they retreated to both sides, and the priest even sat down on the ground, terrified, looking at the huge figure that almost enveloped him.

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

   "Search for me!"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's order, the soldiers of the Fourth Army 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 Army.

   Seeing this scene, the priest's expression turned ashen.

"take away."

  Duanmu Huai glanced coldly at the nobles who were crying for their father and mother, gave an order casually, and then looked at the priest who was sitting paralyzed on the ground.

   "There is also this hypocrite under the banner of the goddess, and I will take it down for interrogation! Then there will be a public trial!"

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

  Looking at the priest being taken away, Lucian, who was hiding in the crowd, had a complicated expression on her face. After Kriolev surrendered, she followed Kirti's personal guards back to the rear, and acted together with the Fourth Army. During this process, Lucian also saw the lives of many people at the bottom, as well as their pain and tragedies.

  And now... Even the priests of the AL religion are working hand in hand with these guys, fish people?

  Why, Herman became like this?

Thinking of this, Lucian shook her head, and at this moment, her eyes suddenly met Kriolev who was looking in this direction, which immediately startled Lucian, and she hurriedly lowered her head. Head away, then turned and left with the other soldiers.

"Um?"

   "What's the matter? General Kriolev?"

   "No, nothing..."

  Kriolev looked away from the back of the girl in civilian clothes, showing a puzzled expression, then shook his head.

   "I saw an acquaintance."

"it's here?"

   "Probably just look alike, maybe I got it wrong."
