- At night, it was dark inside the walls of Santo Labona.
Due to the massive loss of population, the slums in the periphery that were originally crowded with poor people are now like ghosts, full of eerie atmosphere.
Soldiers affiliated with the church did not even dare to enter it for daily patrols, but only guarded the main road leading to the central cathedral.
According to some rumors, there are creepy sounds in those abandoned slums every night.
When you look closer after daybreak, you can even find large black stains of dried blood, as well as bones and scraps of meat that have been chewed beyond recognition.
?Obviously, all this indicates that demons have unknowingly infiltrated the Holy City, which used to be extremely safe.
If you were in an ordinary city, you would have already called the organization for help if you discovered this situation, and prepared a large amount of money as a reward, waiting for the Silver-Eyed Witch to deal with it.
But unfortunately, because the church¡¯s bastards claim to their believers that the gods they worship are omnipotent, they can¡¯t even afford to ask outsiders for help.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? is a blasphemy against the gods, doesn¡¯t even allow the sword to come close to the Holy City.
It can be said that religious ignorance, stubbornness and prejudice are most vividly reflected in these people.
Even at this time, I still have no intention of repenting.
On the contrary, in the central cathedral, Bishop Mailer, who advocated launching a war to solve the current predicament, was standing on the stage, raising his arms and shouting: "Everyone! The situation has gotten so bad! Do we have to watch this happen? Is this great holy city and the God we believe in being trampled under the feet of others? Those unbelievers! And the mortals who disrespect the gods will surely suffer retribution! Especially the Holy Light Church in the south that believes in false gods must be punished with thunder Such a blow! Otherwise it will snatch away all our believers and shake our foundation! Please open your eyes wide and take a good look at the Holy City beneath our feet! We have no way to retreat!"
"War! We want war!"
"As servants of God! We will surely win!"
¡°Destroy that damn false church in the south!¡±
¡¡
It must be said that the bishop¡¯s language is quite inflammatory.
Many church leaders present were so excited that they wished they could rush to the battlefield with weapons and kill all the heretics without leaving a single one behind.
But similarly, there are some people who have kept their heads above water, frowning and looking at the manic atmosphere in the audience, their expressions extremely ugly.
Because they know that wars cannot be won with fanatical beliefs.
Especially when Allen, the lord of the Western Land, completely ignored the church's invitation to form an alliance, rashly launching a war is definitely not a good idea.
"It's a pity that smart and calm people in this world will always be in the minority.
When the fanatical emotions are stirred up, the irrational emotional catharsis is like a rolling torrent, which will crush all obstacles in front of you that try to block your progress.
Therefore, although some people oppose launching a war, they do not dare to speak out at this time.
Otherwise, it is very likely that it is treated as a traitor and tied to the fire torture.
Seeing that his method of coercing public opinion was initially effective, Bishop Mailer's eyes flashed with pride, and at the same time he looked provocatively at other bishops who had different opinions from him.
There is no doubt that the reason why he advocated war was to gain more support within the church, thereby gaining greater power, and even to put himself above other bishops.
As an ambitious man, he wanted more than just becoming a bishop in the church.
??More eager to expand the power of the church to every corner of the continent underfoot, so that everyone can believe in the true God who stands in the center of the cathedral, and establish the so-called "heaven on earth."
It is precisely because of this that Bishop Mailer is so nervous and hostile to the rise and expansion of the Holy Light Church.
In his opinion, neither the organization nor the secular lord Allen who emerged in the West will threaten the church's dominance over people's spiritual world.
But Artoria¡¯s Holy Light Church has fundamentally shaken the status of the Holy City, Rabona.
This is something that cannot be forgiven no matter what.
But just when Bishop Mailer was feeling a little complacent, a dark shadow suddenly jumped down from the top of the church's circular vault.
People who haven't been waiting for the response have happened, and there is only a "line of the finger thicknessThe emergence of an awakened person made the self-respecting church understand who is the real master of this land and who is the clown who does not know the heights of the sky.
Similarly, this crisis also allowed the residents of the Holy City to discover the strong nature of the church.
Both the wealthy business class and ordinary civilians began to flee with their families.
Some people fled to the south and chose to join the Holy Light Church, while others fled to the west to serve Lord Allen.
Only a handful of people with firm beliefs stayed to support this crumbling house.
But in this new era, it is obvious that there is no place for the Holy City anymore.
It is just a remnant of an old era, standing in the center of the island as a witness, and will continue to decline with the passage of time until it completely becomes a part of history.
The organizations that control the Eastern Land, the Three Giants of the Abyss in the Northern Land, Lord Allen of the Western Land, and Artoria of the Holy Light Church in the Southern Land, form a delicate balance.
Since no one from the four parties had any intention of breaking the situation, the island unexpectedly ushered in a period of peaceful development which was very rare.
Especially in the west and south, where there are no demons and awakened beings to harass, not only the population begins to expand rapidly, but agriculture, animal husbandry, handicrafts and trade have become extremely prosperous.
In contrast, the eastern region controlled by the organization still maintains its original appearance, without any change at all.
On the contrary, the northern region has regained its vitality a little after the three giants of the abyss joined forces.
the reason is simple!
After realizing that he could not slaughter civilians for food as unscrupulously as before, even a guy like Isli who believed that the strong had the natural right to take life and death from the weak began to restrain his subordinates and ordered him not to massacre villages and towns at will.
It will even provide help when some villages encounter difficulties.
Of course, this is not because Yisli suddenly became kind and stopped eating people, but because he seriously treated the northern region as his own territory.
¡°Otherwise, if all the civilians in the north die, then they will all starve.
To put it simply, the awakened people began to transform from being simple predators to becoming self-sufficient herders.
And these people, in their eyes, are like herds of cattle and sheep.
As for the mainland across the sea, although the two countries have repeatedly tried to restore contact with the island.
But every time the shipyard is rebuilt, it will be mercilessly destroyed by the guardians.
¡°Almost every act of sabotage will be regarded as a provocation by the other country by the two countries, and will eventually turn into a fierce conflict and confrontation.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Allen.
Because he has been completely immersed in the joy of building a country from scratch.
In order to develop trade and reduce transportation pressure, a new city was established as a ruling center in a coastal area near the river.
And the towns along the river and its tributaries are developing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After all, in this world where technology and productivity levels are extremely backward, there is nothing more convenient, time-saving and labor-saving than water transportation.
Only a place with a developed waterway network can support a densely populated town.
Coupled with the fact that offshore fishing can provide a large amount of cheap fresh fish, aquatic products and the most important necessity - salt, the living standards of civilians have rapidly improved greatly.
The merchant group that has earned a lot of wealth through trade is full of gratitude and respect for Allen, the supreme ruler of the West.
Because only within the scope of Allen's control, they can not only get the safety of life and property, but also enjoy a variety of conveniences and entertainment.
When night falls, you can often see banquets held all night long in mansions, where both the hosts and guests drink fine wine and taste delicious food and pastries.
If it weren¡¯t for the news of man-eating demons that often came from the east and north, everyone might have forgotten the memory of living in fear all day long.
But just because ordinary people are forgetful, it doesn¡¯t mean that soldiers like Inili who defected from the organization will forget.
With their long lifespan, they will never forget what the organization has done to them (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
