Chapter 466 Future


    There is a question that has been bothering Kriolev.


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


    Now, he saw part of the answer to this 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 itself was There is also a bit of delay, which is 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 a problem for Kriolev and others. It''s very new to me because it 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 things don’t stop there.


    ?Shortly after capturing 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 The country, that''s why the country is what it is now, and all the Fourth Legion has to do is restore orthodoxy, defeat the Council, and 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 his shoulders.


    “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.”


    After saying 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 focused on fighting. Political issues such as internal governance were not something that soldiers should be involved in.


    “Your Majesty the Judge.”


    ?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... claiming that if we To enter the church, one had to 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."


    ?Hearing Qildi’s report, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.


    “Take me 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 fat-headed and big-eared priest 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 master, 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 am most annoyed by this group of magicians. Talking to them can make people angry to death. 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 that 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.


    “Heresy, heresy! Get out of here, this is not a place for heretics like you!”


    “Al religion, you believe in the goddess Alice, right?”


    “That’s right!”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''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, I want to ask you, when the people in this city were oppressed, bullied, and abused by the lackeys of the Council, where was the goddess Alice you believed 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 damned people are suffering? Are the lackeys of the Council 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 give him 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 is no wonder that Rolex has this idea. If Duanmuhuai 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 did not 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 divine emperor?


    What Second Reich?


    What is the higher good?


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


    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, broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn’t 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 Duanmuhuai approaching, 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 opened the door directly and then made a gesture.


    “Search for me!”


    ?Hearing Duanmuhuai''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 gloomy.


    "take away."


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


    “And this hypocrite under the guise of the goddess, take him down for interrogation! 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.


    …………”


    Watching 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, and are they preying on 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 the matter? General Kriolev?”


    “No, it’s nothing…”


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


    “I saw an acquaintance.”


    “Here?”


    “Maybe they just look alike, maybe I saw them wrong.”
