"Revenge?" Li Yu frowned, "Has the Trelles family had any enmity with anyone before?"
"High Priest Martina called on the nobles of the Western Territory to abide by the oaths made thousands of years ago. When the Skitarii was formed, the Trelles family was one of the first nobles to respond. Kamzi sent his younger brother, the White Eagle Knight.
Doroselle led three hundred elite soldiers to Lake City.
"But then a tragedy occurred in the Scaled City. High Priest Martina and the nobles present were poisoned to death, including Dorothy. When the news came back to Red Tower City, Kamzi was very angry. He and Dorothy
We have always had a good relationship, and the two have been inseparable since childhood.
"In order to avenge his brother, Kamzi ordered to search for traces of Herodotus and his accomplices in Red Tower City. The guards of the Trelles family arrested many believers of the Silver Moon Church in the next few days.
There were about two to three hundred people, and two priests.
"In order to torture out the whereabouts of Herodotus, they tortured those poor guys, causing the death of about fifty or sixty people, including a priest, but in the end they got nothing, and those who survived were killed by Cam
Locked together in a dungeon."
"Does the Silver Moon Church know about this?" Li Yu asked.
"They know it, but it's of no use. In recent times, similar things have happened in the territories of many noble families. After all, Kamzi is not the only one who lost his relatives in the Scaled City. The Silver Moon Church has just dealt with the wrong first, and just now
We have issued a demilitarization declaration and need to win the support of noble families, but now we can only turn a blind eye."
"So it was Herodotus who launched the attack on the Trelles family?"
"That's right," Ilea nodded. "That group of people claimed to be from the Blood Moon Society to distinguish themselves from the previous Silver Moon Church. They still believed in Pisiya, but they advocated uniting all believers to form an army and use violence.
Maintain your own beliefs and recast the glory of the goddess.
"Herodotus is their leader. However, he claims to the outside world that he is acting according to the orders of the goddess and is completely loyal to the goddess. However, in fact, the Blood Moon Society is simply Herodotus's. He claims to be the Chosen One and can communicate with the goddess.
Communicate and usually issue orders on behalf of the goddess."
"Your previous concerns were correct. Even though he has been expelled from the church, Herodotus's prestige among the believers of Silver Moon Church is getting higher and higher.
"In view of the various difficulties that Silver Moon Church has encountered in the past six months, Pisiya's followers are eager to give birth to a stronger leader within the church. And..."
"And what?"
"Furthermore, Herodotus also performed many miracles in front of his believers, such as being able to light cotton in a jar without lighting a fire, so the followers around him became even more devoted to him.
"Although all the major families have sent many people to hunt him down, almost all of the people in the Western Region are Pisiya's believers. There are always people who have tipped off the news in advance, and no one has been able to catch him until now."
"???"
Li Yu didn't expect that Herodotus learned very quickly. He even copied the adiabatic compression experiment and used it to deceive the followers below. It seems that he was not without gain after being fooled by Clara.
.
At least the level of natural science has improved.
As for the split of the Silver Moon Church, it was not too unexpected by Li Yu, because there had already been disagreements within the Silver Moon Church on whether to form an armed force.
Since believers have needs in this area, of course new sects will come out to fill this gap, but Herodotus's decisiveness still impressed Li Yu.
He first killed High Priest Reeves, then imprisoned High Priest Hesiod, expelled High Priest Martina, and used force to coerce the other three high priests. After that, he actually took control of the entire Silver Moon Church.
However, he still took the risk of becoming an enemy of all the nobles in the Western Territory and formed a new army, promoting the development of the Silver Moon Church towards weaponization.
But now it seems that Herodotus obviously did not place any hope on the rabble before, and had the idea of treating these people as abandoned sons from the very beginning.
The reason why he formed such a smoky army was just to attract High Priest Martina and her Skitarii to the Scaled City, and then complete the poisoning of them.
At the same time, he obviously also knew the character of the new head of the Raimondi family, and knew that Shapiro would next carry out a bloody cleanup of the new army he left in the city, thus further intensifying the situation between the nobles of the Western Region and the ordinary believers of the Silver Moon Church.
conflicts between.
Provide more suitable soil for the development of the Blood Moon Society, and after eliminating the other six high priests, Herodotus, a marginal character among the original seven, suddenly became the only remaining elder, further enhancing his popularity among the people.
prestige.
The seven newly elected people of the Silver Moon Church are currently unable to compete with him. Although the Silver Moon Church has expelled Herodotus, in the hearts of the vast majority of believers, Herodotus is still the high priest of the church, and
Many people don't think he did anything wrong and sympathize with his plight.
In short, Herodotus may seem crazy on the surface, but everything he does actually has a strong purpose and logic, and he has been secretly paving the way for the birth of the Blood Moon Society.
Li Yu went back and sorted out what happened in the City of Scales. Herodotus had obviously realized the limitations of the Silver Moon Church very early on and decided to start a new one.
From a personal point of view, this is actually not a wise decision. It means that Herodotus has to give up everything he currently owns, including but not limited to his status, reputation, wealth... and at the same time, he has to fight with everyone in the Western Region.
The nobles are enemies.
But precisely because of this, Li Yu could conclude that this guy should be a true fanatic.
An extremist sect formed by fanatics that promotes violence does not sound like a good combination.
Although the Blood Moon Society is still very weak, not even as good as Shuangxujiao, the Blood Moon Society has an advantage that no one can match.
That is, it is attached to the towering tree of Silver Moon Church and can directly draw nutrients from Silver Moon Church.
In addition, it is foreseeable that Herodotus and his Blood Moon Society will continue to cause trouble in the Western Territory, intensifying the conflict between ordinary believers and the Western Territory nobles.
The Treles family of Hongta City is the first victim, but it will never be the last.
As a heretic, Shuangxiu Cult is of course also within the purge of the Blood Moon Society.
"It seems that the Western Region is not peaceful recently." Li Yu said.
Miss Rabbit also sighed after hearing this, and at the same time she was a little lucky that she had defected to Saturday School early. Now, through the continuous efforts of Li Yu and all the monks, more than 99% of the people in Luye are studying on Saturday.
believers.
At least it avoids the situation like the Trelles family, where someone came to their hometown and didn't know anything about it.
