The entire Swordfish Territory underwent a major purge, starting with the Grand Duke Swordfish's men and then the army. All officers in the army who believed in the Church of the Mother Goddess were secretly arrested, followed by those ordinary people.
The soldiers were immediately kicked out of the army, followed by the administrative officials of the Swordfish Territory, and all the administrative officials who believed in the Church of the Mother Goddess. They were dismissed immediately, and all the power in their hands was taken back.
, and even some people related to them were all put under surveillance, including some officials and police in Haizhou City.
This was a storm, a storm that no one expected. Even the people of the Mother Goddess Church did not expect that Grand Duke Swordfish would really dare to do this and do it so brilliantly. They were unable to react for a while.
Before they could connect with each other, they had all been driven away. They no longer had any power in their hands. People related to them were also under surveillance. They couldn't even connect them even if they wanted to.
, because as soon as they start to communicate in series, he will be controlled immediately and even executed directly.
In the police station, all the policemen began to be classified. All the policemen who had a secret relationship with the Mother Goddess Church were all dealt with. Those policemen who were not dealt with were not firm believers of the Mother Goddess Church.
Well, everyone in the Swordfish Territory knows that Grand Duke Swordfish is specifically targeting the Mother Goddess Church this time.
The Mother Goddess Church also reacted. They immediately sent people to the Grand Duke to protest, and directly told the Grand Duke that their Mother Goddess Church was a legal sect and anyone was free to believe in them. The Grand Duke had no right to believe in them.
He has no right to interfere. The Grand Duke's reply is that I have no right to interfere, but I have the right to use his power or not. It is his business to believe in the Church of the Mother God if he likes it, but it is my business to use him or not.
The Church of the Mother Goddess was angered by such an answer. They immediately used their power to mobilize those who believed in the Church of the Mother Goddess and prepared for a large-scale protest. However, before they could take any action, Grand Duke Swordfish suddenly issued an order.
, canceled more than 90% of the churches of the Mother Goddess Church in the Swordfish Territory, and directly sent troops to seal down the churches.
Some believers of the Mother Goddess Church wanted to protest, but those who protested were subsequently arrested. Suddenly, a wave of anti-Mother Goddess Church arose throughout the Swordfish Territory. Wallace
The archbishop finally couldn't sit still. He appeared publicly in front of people to protest against the actions of Archduke Swordfish. He believed that Archduke Swordfish was persecuting the Church of the Mother Goddess. They wanted to protest, and they did not even rule out using force to resist.
possible.
This was already a threat to Archduke Swordfish, but Archbishop Wallace's words received support from many people, especially the support of the Archbishops of the Mother Goddess Church in other regions. Even other archdukes began to attack Archduke Swordfish.
Putting pressure on him, Grand Duke Swordfish's life suddenly seemed to be getting even more difficult.
But soon, the reply from Grand Duke Swordfish appeared. He did not have much reply. He directly took out the data of all the people in his territory who firmly believed in the Mother Goddess Church, and also took out the
Strong originally wanted to lead the army to act privately, and he said it directly. Strong did so under the orders of the Mother Goddess Church, so he sealed the churches of the Mother Goddess Church. Any
He will not tolerate anyone who challenges his leadership.
After Grand Duke Swordfish made such a statement, the Merchant Alliance immediately expressed its support for Grand Duke Swordfish. At the same time, the Merchant Alliance also published news about the Mother Goddess Church’s unprovoked entry into the Calvert Manor to conduct a search, and made it clear
He said that the Church of the Mother Goddess is not a law enforcement organization and they have no power to do so. The only one who has the power to do so is the Grand Duke of Swordfish.
When the other Grand Dukes saw these two statements, they were all stunned. Then some Grand Dukes reacted immediately. They immediately started to count the people under their rule. Without statistics, you would not know.
When they made statistics, they were shocked. They found that a large part of the officials under them all maintained good relations with the Mother Goddess Church. Among their troops, at least one-third
All of their officers are very close to the Mother Goddess Church, and the number of Mother Goddess Church churches under their rule is also astonishing. Even more ordinary people under their rule believe in the Mother Goddess Church. When they see these
, those Grand Dukes all broke into cold sweats. They immediately understood why Grand Duke Swordfish reacted so fiercely this time. If Grand Duke Swordfish didn't react like this, then the leader of Swordfish would probably have to change his surname.
, this is something that no Grand Duke can tolerate.
Of course, the Church of the Mother Goddess also immediately issued a statement, denounced the nonsense of Grand Duke Swordfish. Strong was originally a subordinate of Grand Duke Swordfish and had nothing to do with them. This was completely the Duke of Swordfish deliberately spreading rumors and seriously injuring his mother.
The Church of God and the Church of the Mother Goddess once protested, and at the same time a large number of temple knights were mobilized into the Swordfish Territory to protect the churches of the Church of the Mother Goddess.
This statement from the Mother Goddess Church made other Grand Dukes even more convinced that this matter must be related to the Mother Goddess Church, and the Mother Goddess Church mobilized the temple knights this time to deal with the Swordfish Archduke. They obviously had no way to secretly take advantage of it.
I am a temple knight, so I can only come in plain sight.
The voice of the Grand Duke of Swordfish also directly made a statement to the outside world. If the Mother Goddess Church dares to send temple knights into the Swordfish Territory, he will seal all the Mother Goddess Church churches in the territory. At the same time, only the Mother Goddess Church will be in Swordfish Territory.
When it comes to preaching within the territory, it can be said that Grand Duke Swordfish really refused to give up a single step of the commission this time and pushed the Mother Goddess Church back.
At this time, the Merchant Alliance issued a statement at the same time. They stated that they supported Grand Duke Swordfish’s decision and fully supported Grand Duke Swordfish. If necessary, the Merchant Alliance would provide any help to Grand Duke Swordfish. This statement was very interesting.
, especially the sentence "provide any help", this is obviously telling others that if necessary, the Merchant Alliance can send troops to help Grand Duke Swordfish.
After seeing this statement, the Church of the Mother Goddess protested once, but at the same time stated that they supported Archduke Swordfish’s rule over the Swordfish Territory, and at the same time, in order to avoid conflict with Archduke Swordfish, they would suspend
Move the Temple Knights into the Swordfish Territory to wait for the further development of the matter.
However, although the Church of the Mother Goddess said so openly, they continued to make small moves secretly. Their clergymen contacted all over the Swordfish Territory and contacted the administrative officials who had been driven away by the Archduke Swordfish, as well as some
Firm believers of the Mother Goddess Church began to take to the streets to protest and had many conflicts with the police.
Although on the surface, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the Church of the Mother Goddess. It is the initiative of those people, but all people with a discerning eye can see that behind this matter, there must be the support of the Church of the Mother Goddess. This also makes
The archdukes became vigilant, and they began to systematically clean up those officials in their territories who were close to the Church of the Mother Goddess. Of course, their methods were relatively mild.
At this time, Grand Duke Swordfish issued a statement, believing that those who protested had the support of the Mother Goddess Church, and that the Mother Goddess Church had become an unstable factor for the entire Swordfish Territory. Therefore, he decided to shut down the remaining members of the Swordfish Territory.
Half of the churches of the Mother Goddess Church also began to restrict the movements of the clergy of the Mother Goddess Church. Once they discovered that the clergy of the Mother Goddess Church had participated in protests, they would arrest those clergymen.
This statement did not make those protesters calm down. On the contrary, those protesters made a bigger noise. The only place that is still stable in the entire Swordfish Territory is Haizhou City, and Haizhou City is not completely quiet.
, there were protests there, but they were quickly suppressed. There are many people in Haizhou City, and they all rely on the merchant alliance for their livelihood. All those who participated in the protests will be fired immediately, and they will also be implicated.
to their family members and even their friends, so those who protested were stopped by their family members and their friends before they took any action, and were even imprisoned directly. Therefore, they did not appear here in Haizhou City.
Too large a protest.
Of course, in this case, no one would notice if some merchant ships from the Merchant Alliance left Haizhou City. In fact, the commercial operations in Haizhou City are still very normal. Many ships from the Merchant Alliance leave every day, so
There will be many ships arriving, so of course no one will pay attention to these ships. Of course no one will notice that Zhao Hai and the others are on these ships.
As the protests in the Swordfish Territory became more and more loud, the Grand Duke of Swordfish Territory was also preparing to mobilize the army to suppress the protesters. At this time, the Mother Goddess Church issued a statement that the Swordfish Territory
The internal protests are spontaneously formed by the people and are their demands for faith. Grand Duke Swordfish has no right to stop it. If Grand Duke Swordfish stops it, it will be a provocation to the Mother Goddess Church. The Mother Goddess Church will take tough measures to deal with it.
Swordfish collar for punishment.
The Grand Duke of Swordfish immediately issued a statement. The protests in the Swordfish Territory were definitely organized and premeditated. The driving force behind it was the Church of the Mother Goddess. The Grand Duke of Swordfish will organize troops to suppress the protesters in the short term. At the same time,
It is an even stronger statement that if the Mother Goddess Church dares to send troops into the Swordfish Territory, then the Swordfish Territory will organize all the troops to fight back. The only thing that will greet the Mother Goddess Church is war.
At the end of the statement, Grand Duke Swordfish openly stated that it is no longer the dark age, and the Mother Goddess Church cannot cover the sky with one hand. If the Mother Goddess Church really dares to send troops into the Swordfish Territory, they will fight to the last step.
We must also fight the Mother Goddess Church to the end and defend our power to the death.
At the same time, the Merchant Alliance publicly expressed its support for Grand Duke Swordfish’s decision. The supreme leader of the Swordfish Territory is Grand Duke Swordfish. Any force that wants to use force or threaten public opinion will blackmail the Swordfish Territory.
It will be impossible to achieve the goal, and the Merchant Alliance will fully support the Swordfish Archduke.
These statements may seem like nonsense, but in fact they are also a test by both parties. The Church of the Mother Goddess used the protesters to put pressure on Grand Duke Swordfish, but Grand Duke Swordfish responded with force, and at the same time used the merchant alliance to
Against the Church of the Mother Goddess, the two sides can be said to be going back and forth, constantly fighting.
