For thousands of years, theocracy and political power have been in a gray balance. Whichever party is the first to break the balance means a dispute between theocracy and political power. Typical examples are when the political power interferes too much in religious affairs or when a church kills secular officials without authorization, even if
Even a small official can touch the reverse scale.
The approach of the Father God Church has undoubtedly broken this balance, and the most shocking thing is that they dare to do it openly. Isn't this seeking death? Do you really think that having a lord as a believer will mean you have nothing to worry about?
You must know that there are circles of influence in various places, and the political power in this area also has corresponding circles of influence. Even if the lord does not care, Belis's immediate boss will not ignore it. Once the matter is brought to the central government, it is very likely to cause the central government to take action.
The Church of the Father will be dead by then.
Well, if Sylvanas hadn't made a bet with Link, she might have taken action. But after making a bet with Link and mistakenly believing that Link's strength had reached the peak of mortals, even if Link saved the Red Moon Province
Even if all the officials were wiped out and purged, Sylvanas would only turn a blind eye.
Now, whether Link is killing people who are hostile to the church or torturing government officials, he does not have to worry about being surrounded by the army. He can do what he wants to do without any worries, and the actions of the judge are what establishes his authority.
first step.
"Sure enough, without the suppression of the political power, the divine power can be unscrupulous! I used to be quite disgusted with this kind of extermination of families, but after being in this position, I realized that some things must be done." Link listened to Aisio.
After the report, he secretly sighed. This was the first time he had done something like killing an entire family. In the past, he was very disgusted with this ruthless approach, but when he ascended to a high position and was responsible for the future of countless people, the heavy
His responsibilities require him to make some difficult decisions.
However, Link has never been a person who likes to regret. Now that he has done it, there is no need to regret or blame himself. What's more, the Bayliss family has committed many crimes and death is not a pity. He immediately praised the three people who carried out the action. Then he
Let Andreessen and Manigault go down to rest first, while I discussed the next action with Aisio.
After all the discussions were completed and Isio also retreated, Link took a deep breath and said with a cold light in his eyes: "The fear of judgment has spread, and those guys in the Temple of Madness should be unable to sit still.
?Then it’s time for the Ares Cult’s back-up team to be activated.”
After saying that, Link picked up the pen and started writing quickly, not only writing something.
In the next few days, the news about Char Town spread, and the top management of the Mad Temple also knew about it. They were immediately horrified, and both the third-level strong men and the fourth-level masters died. This was a big blow to the Mad Temple, you know.
, the strongest person in the Mad Temple is only in the late fourth level, and losing so many strong men in one breath is not much worse than when he contacted the War God Cult to attack the Father God Cult but failed.
The fear brought by the Judge made the top officials of the Mad Temple unable to sit still. They knew that they had wrongly assessed the strength of the Father God Cult, and originally wanted to rely on the Kingdom of Stars to take action against the Father God Cult when the regime was unstable. Unexpectedly, they had just destroyed one of their own
Church, the other party's revenge is coming, and it is so terrible that they even dare to take the risk of killing the head of a town and his entire family. It is simply lawless.
Faced with this situation, even if the top leaders of the Mad Temple thought with the soles of their feet, they would understand that the Father God Sect's revenge would definitely be more than this. Perhaps a more terrifying revenge would come soon, which they would absolutely not be able to bear.
In order to fight against the Cult of the Father, the Mad Temple immediately made use of all available resources at hand. They immediately contacted the major churches in the anti-Father Cult alliance and told those people what happened in Char Town, hoping to get support. At the same time,
, regardless of the unspoken rules of theocratic competition not to allow secular power to interfere, he quietly told Belis's immediate superior about the matter, hoping that the high-ranking official with some military power could help.
As a result, although the major churches in the Anti-Father God Alliance were surprised by the Father God Cult's revenge, after learning that it was Mad God Temple who used ruthless means to attack first, there were not many responders, and they basically just sat back and watched.
The mentality was ready to watch the show. Only the God of War Cult, which had a bloody feud with the Father God Cult, and some churches that had lost many believers to the Father God Cult in recent months were willing to help.
As for Baylis's immediate boss, Baron Rivendell, something was a little weird. His attitude was ambiguous. He didn't say that he would deal with the Father God Cult, nor did he say that he wouldn't deal with it. He just said that he would investigate the matter thoroughly, but he did not take any action.
People are confused and don't know whether he is deliberately letting God the Father teach him.
Even the people closest to him don't know what Baron Rivendell is thinking. Only he understands that the Father God Church is not something he can touch, because he has received secret letters from two big bosses one after another.
He was not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Father God Church, and the identities of the two big bosses could crush him to death with one finger.
Count Lothar and Queen Sylvanas!
Under such circumstances, it would be strange for Rivendell to take action. If the two bosses hadn't mentioned clearly in their letters that they couldn't help, he would have probably run up to Link and expressed his willingness to help.
Link unified the religious world under his jurisdiction.
The secular government cannot intervene in theocratic disputes. This is an unspoken rule that has been followed for thousands of years and is also the tacit consent of the religious community. If anyone violates it, he is likely to be attacked by a group. Count Lothar and Sylvanas will not allow it.
This is the reason why someone under his command directly helps the Father God Religion, and this is also a test and opportunity for the Father God Religion. Only by unifying the religious world through one's own strength can people be convinced and truly strengthened.
Without Rivendell's intervention, the Mad Temple had no choice but to unite with its churches, large and small, to do it on its own. But what depressed the Mad Temple was that, except for the God of War, the other churches that were willing to help were not very good, and more or less
The idea of fishing in troubled waters is hard to trust, and the Church of the Father has been silent since killing the Bayliss family. It seems to have fallen into silence, which is also worrying.
Nowadays, the top leaders of the Mad Temple are in a quarrel. They are arguing over the issue of proactive attack and passive defense. Those who take the initiative believe that although the strength of the Father God Sect is strong, it does not necessarily mean it is invincible. As long as the plan is proper, even if it is impossible,
Destroying the Father God Sect can also cause a fatal blow to it. However, requiring passive defense means that the strength of the Father God Sect is unknown. Taking the initiative will only lead to a sheep in the tiger's mouth. With the strength shown by the Father God Sect in Char Town, even within the sect,
All the experts are here, but they are just delivering food to people.
This meaningless debate has been quarreling among the top leaders of the Crazy Temple. It also indirectly reflects that there are many factions within the church, and the leader of one religion does not have much courage. As a result, the execution ability of the Crazy Temple is far inferior to that of the Father God Church, and even
Even some small churches can't compare.
In this chaotic quarrel, the Ares Cult suddenly brought a big news, which finally brought the dispute among the top leaders of the Mad Temple to an end. And the news was very simple. It said that the quasi-saintess Aria of the Father God Cult would be in the palace.
Recently, I will patrol the branch church on behalf of Link to appease people's hearts. He will bring some guards with him to go into battle lightly, and the number of those guards is not large, only a dozen people.
The outside world has long known about Aria. Who doesn't know that this person is Link's heart? If she can be caught, Link will definitely be forced to submit.
Therefore, under tremendous pressure and temptation, the top management of the Mad Temple made a "difficult decision" and prepared to join forces with the God of War Cult, who provided the information, to arrest people while Aria was inspecting the branch church.
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, the time came to December 28th. Just like what was described in the intelligence, Alia set off with more than a dozen guards. She visited the branch church one by one as in the intelligence, comforting and inspiring people.
, and even personally performed baptism blessings for some devout believers.
As a result, Mad Temple, who was still a little worried at first, finally felt relieved, made some plans, and prepared to take action while Alia was on her way to another town.
For this reason, the Mad Temple once again bribed some officials and asked them to block the official road in the name of official business, forcing Aria and her party to take a detour and start the operation on a rugged path.
The Mad Temple attaches great importance to this operation. Half of the masters in the sect came to the scene, totaling more than fifty people. More than forty people jumped out during the first impact, leaving only a dozen people to hold down the formation, intending to capture Aaliya in one go.
Live, and their actions were very smooth, beating the Paladin guards back steadily, and after an impact, they broke through the Paladins' defense line, leaving Aria exposed.
At the same time, the fourth-level masters of the Mad Temple who were waiting for an opportunity took action. There were actually two people. They rushed towards Aaliya at the same time. One blocked her and the other grabbed her. Finally, under the protection of the Paladin, they caught Aaliya.
.
Faced with this situation, everyone in the Temple of Madness was overjoyed, but soon they were overjoyed, because Alia, who was powerless in intelligence and only knew some low-level magic, suddenly took action and took out a black
The rune broadsword beheaded the fourth-level strongman who caught him, and this scene also shocked everyone, making everyone in the Mad Temple who were overjoyed feel a little nervous.
'Alia' didn't care that the people in the Mad Temple were in a daze. After she looked coldly at the corpse of the fourth-level powerhouse, gray smoke came out of her hands, and she lightly touched her face. Suddenly, she looked great.
Transformed into another woman with silver-gray pupils, who was none other than the former Knight of Life Lotus and now the Knight of Apocalypse, Milin Campbell, and an emotionless voice also sounded from her mouth: "Huh, even the disguise skills are obvious.
If you don’t come out, you are really useless.”
It turns out that Milin used the camouflage skills of the Knights of the Apocalypse to look like Aria. This camouflage technique is very powerful. Without close observation, it is difficult for strong people below the seventh level to detect it, and the people in the Mad Temple are the strongest.
It's only the fourth level, and there's no way to get close to it. How can you tell?
Milin successfully deceived all enemies.
Soon, the commander of the Mad Temple who came back to his senses realized that he had been fooled, and immediately yelled to retreat and escaped first. But at this moment, another group of people appeared and surrounded the people of the Mad Temple with powerful dark power.
It is the first legion composed of Knights of the Apocalypse - the Knights of the Ebon Blade!
The Mad Temple has studied the power of the Paladins, so they can suppress more than a dozen Paladins with their numbers, but they have never seen the Apocalypse Knights, and almost all the Apocalypse Knights are out. More than fifty Apocalypse Knights are sharpening their swords, how can they let them
Did the people from Mad Temple escape? A completely one-sided massacre began.
