Chapter 185 Formation


    Duanmu Huai doesn''t care about the disturbances from the outside world. While the reputation of the Tribunal spread throughout the continent, he also began to build similar Tribunal organizations in various places.


    ?Duanmuhuai''s first Inquisition organization was not built in Skyrim, but in Hammerfell.


    ??The reason is also very simple. When the Empire and the Elves signed the Platinum Treaty, the content included that most of the Hammerfell territory was assigned to the sovereignty of the Elves. Naturally, the residents of Hammerfell will not give up, and this started from the war between the elves and the empire.


    According to historical records, during the war between the elves and the empire at that time, the elves had the upper hand and even occupied the imperial city, killing and plundering it. After that, the elves have been looking for the king of the empire and trying to negotiate with him. On the one hand, the king at that time made the elves mistakenly believe that he really meant to surrender. The road rushes towards the royal city.


    In the end, humans successfully recaptured the capital of the empire. However, in this war, the empire also suffered heavy losses. A total of three legions were completely defeated, and the rest were exhausted soldiers. With this victory, the king and the elves signed the "Platinum Treaty", ending the war between humans and elves.


    ?Of course, this approach is not incomprehensible. Although the royal city has been recaptured, the empire has been severely weakened and cannot continue to bear the war with the elves. Using this victory to sign a peace treaty with the elves is understandable from a political perspective.


    But the people of Hammerfell obviously didn''t buy it. They believed that the empire should not surrender after retaking the royal city, but should pursue the victory and drive these long-eared **** directly into the sea.


    You know, the reason why so many people died in Hammerfell was not to cede their land to those elven bastards!


    In fact, because of this, even if the empire signed a platinum treaty with the elves, the resistance activities against the elves in Hammerfell were still in full swing, and the province of Hammerfell turned a deaf ear to the empire''s order to cease war with the elves. They have made up their minds to take back their own land from those elves, even if everyone dies!


    Because of this, the current Hammerfell Province is actually equivalent to being semi-separated from the Empire.


    In this case, the appearance of the Tribunal naturally cheered up the people of Hammerfell. Considering the hatred of the elves in Hammerfell, Duanmuhuai set up the first Tribunal stronghold in a place in Hammerfell. In the mountains.


    As for the operation of this stronghold, Duanmuhuai completely left it to the night guards. After all, the night guards originally did similar work in Yajin society. Cultivating warriors and so on is also their old profession.


    ?In addition to this, there are also the Holy Codes of the Inquisition.


    In Xinghai OL, there is a setting that is very contradictory.


    ?According to the original setting, the Inquisition represents the Empire and the Emperor, and every Inquisitor must fight in the name of the Emperor.


    But in fact, as the player''s inquisitor, he is not interested in the emperor. There are even many inquisitors who regard him as a heretic or even a spy who has infiltrated the human race. They believe that the emperor is not the savior of mankind, but only the emperor. Use humans to play a big game of chess.


    ?These players also have their own ideas and basis.


    First of all, the Emperor strictly prohibited humans from engaging in any superstitious activities.


    At first glance, this reason seems to be to prevent the Evil God of Chaos from being known to humans, thereby weakening the power of the Evil God of Chaos. But if you look at human history, you will find that humans will have some kind of belief whether they have gods or not. Not to mention that there are indeed gods in this world, so from the player''s point of view, the emperor''s actions are simply a cover-up and there is no silver in this place, which is meaningless.


    This is just like the promulgation of Prohibition in the United States. The reason why Prohibition was originally promulgated was that Congress at that time believed that alcohol was the root cause of crime. Alcoholism also caused many domestic violence problems, and at the religious level, alcohol was also associated with sin. In addition, Capitalists believed that workers'' drinking would affect labor discipline and production efficiency, so the United States promulgated alcohol prohibition.


    As a result, illegal brewing and smuggling of alcohol became popular. Prohibition did not play any role at all, nor did it restrict the occurrence of criminal activities. On the contrary, smuggling and illegal brewing have created more criminal problems.


    The same is true for the imperial truth promulgated by the emperor. Its essence is no different from the prohibition on alcohol. It does not recognize objective facts, but must be prohibited through subjective will. The final result is the collapse of the entire imperial truth.


    ? Players have also criticized Imperial Truth on the forum. Many players believe that it is a misunderstanding to regard Imperial Truth as materialism. Because according to the realistic materialist dialectics, the unity of the world lies in materiality, consciousness is the product of the development of the material world to a certain stage, and human understanding is the response to objective existence.


    ?So to put it simply, materialism does not actually represent atheism, but because there are no objective facts to prove the existence of gods, materialism treats them as non-existent. If there is a **** that can be objectively recognized in this world, then materialism will also admit its existence.


    Therefore, if we look at it from our materialist point of view, then the imperial truth of Xinghai OL is obviously not materialism, but idealism - gods and demons do exist in that world, but you deny them all and want to use subjective Willing to deny objective facts is a big lie in itself and will not last long.


    You will know just by looking at the results.


    Prohibition was enacted in 1919 and repealed in 1933.


    The Imperial Truth existed before the Emperor''s death. Who would care about this after the Emperor''s death? Otherwise, how could the imperial state religion appear?


    In the final analysis, materialism is always better than idealism. Any attempt to use personal subjective will to influence or even deny the existence of objective reality is meaningless.


    You say that gods do not exist. If you can, don''t give shelter to others when they pray. While providing protection, he also said that God does not exist. It is really embarrassing and upright, which makes people speechless.


    Therefore, in the eyes of many players, the emperor''s original approach of promulgating the imperial truth was simply a big mistake. He could have used some means to teach humans to objectively understand these existences, instead of directly denying them across the board - Facts have proved that denying objectivity Existing reality solves nothing.


    To be honest, it is better to distort human understanding with the idea that "the so-called gods are just beings with more powerful power" than to completely deny the reality of the existence of gods.


    In addition, the Emperor''s behavior is also contradictory in the eyes of many players.


    ?Taking the matter of repairing the Webway as an example, why didn''t the Emperor repair the Webway before the Great Crusade was launched, instead of waiting until after the Great Crusade? Doesn’t he understand the principle that food and fodder should be used before troops and horses are moved? And facts have proven that the Emperor has known about the existence of the Webway for a long time. Couldn''t he have repaired the Webway and then launched the Great Crusade?


    ?Of course, the emperor is also a human being, and even humans make mistakes.


    ??However, in the imperial classics, the emperor was described as wise and powerful, and it was short of saying that he knew five thousand years before and five thousand years later.


    Then.........for players, this is a question. Either the Emperor is not as smart as the Imperial books say, or he is stupid, more than once.


    ?Either the Emperor has ulterior motives and is thinking of some unknown conspiracy, all part of a larger plan.


    Because of this, although the inquisitors as players are responsible for protecting and saving mankind, they will not fully accept the emperor''s tactics, and may even deny them entirely.


    ?At the time of the empire, Duanmu Huai''s behavior had long been regarded as heresy.


    ?But now that the empire is in ruins, and no one is paying him a salary, Duanmu Huai naturally does whatever he wants.


    The Holy Code of the Inquisition is actually very simple. Protecting humanity is the core element, and any threat to human existence must be defeated - whether to completely destroy it or spare their lives to see the consequences is left to the Inquisitor himself.


    ?Of course, there are also statues representing the Tribunal.


    A warhammer.


    After receiving the blessing, you can get a 10% damage bonus to races other than humans.


    ??The people of Hammerfell are tough, and the Redguard warriors are even better at fighting. In order to fight against the elves, many Redguard warriors have joined the Inquisition and become one of them.


    Everyone is waiting for the final moment to arrive.


    ?At the same time, however, Duanmuhuai was meeting an old man.


    ?That was none other than the Emperor of the Empire—Titus Mede II.


    “You want the Inquisition to stop attacking the elven sovereignty?”


    Duanmu Huai stared at the old man in front of him with slightly cold eyes.


    “Yes, great warrior.”


    The old emperor nodded. Although he was not as tall as Duanmu Huai, sitting in front of him, the old emperor also showed his majesty.


    “Now is not the time to fall out with the Thalmor elves, the empire...”


    “I think you made a mistake, Your Majesty.”


    Duanmu Huai raised his hand and interrupted the old emperor''s speech.


    "The Tribunal is not a friend of the empire. As I said before, the Tribunal is only responsible for destroying all enemies that threaten humanity. Humanity''s internal political issues are not something that the Tribunal needs to consider. In other words... …The life and death of the empire is meaningless and of no value to the Inquisition. Even if the empire is destroyed, we will not care as long as humanity is still ruled by a new country.”


    ?Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, a flash of uneasiness flashed in the old emperor''s eyes.


    "Is this... the attitude of the Inquisition?"


    “Yes, this is the attitude of the Inquisition.”


    Duanmu Huai stood up and looked at the old man in front of him.


    "For the Tribunal, any existence that threatens humans must be defeated or destroyed. The elven sovereigns have used their actions to prove their threat and hostility to humans, so for the Tribunal, they must be eliminated. enemy."


    Having said this, Duanmu Huai looked out the window.


    “The time is almost up. It seems that the group of elves have already made their choice.”


    ?Then, he spoke coldly.
