Chapter 315: It's about to break out

The battle between the Empire and the Divine Cult began to surface gradually. Everyone had slowly pulled away the last fig leaf, and many contradictions began to be publicly placed on the table.

Pope Corsica VI has publicly claimed that the empire's order to stop religious taxes was a challenge to the prestige of the divine religion and a disrespect to the gods. At the same time, the flame warriors of the divine religion began to be mobilized frequently.

However, the old skeleton did even more ruthlessly! He issued a decree in the name of the Emperor of the Empire. In the empire, the number of troops in any place was mobilized, and the number of troops exceeded 100, and the command of the Imperial Command must be obtained! After such an order was issued, the mobilization of the Fire Warrior Order of the God Cult was greatly restricted. In many places, there were hundreds of frictions between the Fire Warrior Order and the local garrison troops, and for a time, the empire was filled with news of various riots.

Everything is surging, and the Duke of Tulip ordered that all Thor Whip cancel all vacations and be ready to go!

Marquis Roddy, the commander of the Northern Legion, ordered that the Northern Legion cancel all vacations and be ready to go!

The Northwest Legion commander Earl Ello ordered the Northwest Legion to be on standby and ready to go!

General Camus, the commander of the Southern Legion, ordered that the Southern Legion draw two heavy cavalry regiments to go north and move closer to the imperial capital!

In the eastern part of the empire with the most powerful power of the Divine Cult, nearly 30,000 Flame Warriors have successfully broken through the blockade of the imperial local garrison troops, gathered together, and occupied two medium-sized cities. At the same time, they expelled the imperial officials there under the orders of His Majesty the Pope, and announced that they would temporarily take over the city in the name of the Divine Cult!

The Empire was in an uproar!

"Do you know? Boy, among the believers of any religion, it is composed of three groups of people!" The old skeleton smiled smugly, then slowly pulled up his finger and laughed slowly: "The first type is absolutely devout fanatic religious elements. These people will end their faith unconditionally under any circumstances! Such a group is the toughest enemy for us... But luckily, there will definitely not be many such people! Among ten thousand believers, such fanatic elements may not be able to be one percent! The second group is the kind of swaying left and right, that is, although they usually believe in the Divine religion, they are not fanatical in their hearts. Most people hold the attitude of "If you believe, you will be effective, if you don't believe, you will not work." Although such people are like this, they are not as good as they do.

However, they seem very pious on weekdays, but once their fundamental interests are involved, they will abandon their faith and protect their own interests! For example, if they are asked to take out a very small part of their income to worship the Church of God, they may be willing, but if they are asked to devote all their wealth and names, these people will retreat! Fortunately, the scandal of the Church in Xilin Province has greatly reduced the loyalty of this group of people to the Church of God to a large extent! This second group of people occupies the largest number of believers in the Church of God, and they are the largest part of religion. It can be said that among the believers of the Church of God, such people account for almost 70%!"

The old skeleton paused and took a breath, then continued: "The third type of people is the kind of pseudo-cultivists. Don't be surprised, this is normal! The Divine Cult has formed a climate and scale for hundreds of years in the empire. Belief in the Divine Cult has become a habit and a popular one! Many people originally did not believe in religion, but when they saw that the people around them were religious, they also became believers with the mentality of "joining in the fun". Such a group of people also occupy a lot of part of the Divine Cult, but these people have the lowest loyalty to the Divine Cult! Once the empire and the Divine Cult broke, they would abandon religion without hesitation if they considered their own interests!"

Roddy nodded and smiled, "So, although the Divine Church claims to have tens of millions of believers in the empire, it is not terrible!"

"Not bad." The old skeleton smiled and said, "The tens of millions of believers are just a huge number. Once the empire and the Divine Cult break, then there will definitely be no more than hundreds of thousands of people who are willing to follow the Divine Cult to rebellion. Among these hundreds of thousands, the real Flame Warrior Order only accounts for less than half of the number, and the others are just some ignorant civilians! As long as we use thunder means... it is not difficult to solve!"

Roddy was silent for a while and whispered: "But these are hundreds of thousands of people after all... After such a riot, I don't know how many people will die or how many families..."

The old skeleton shook his head: "The Divine Cult has become a huge cancer in the body of the empire! If we don't take this opportunity to completely solve it, and when its power is further expanded in the future and its foundation is deep, it will be even more difficult to get rid of it! The Roland Continent is a best example!"

Seit sat in the corner of the wall, he kept looking out the window and seemed to be smiling. He turned his head when he heard the words of the two people. He looked at the old skeleton with his eyes: "I think we need a fuse to do it! What do you think?"

"It's already!" Andy took out a military notice from his sleeve.

General Zhang Kamu, the Southern Legion, reported as follows:

At the order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, the Southern Legion began a large-scale search of all religious institutes and churches in the three southern provinces three days ago, and found a large amount of wealth of 1.19 million gold coins from unknown origin! The contract of property and land in unknown origin is worth 2.2 million gold coins! Three local bishops of the God Cult, nine senior clergy, twenty-eight intermediate clergy, and one hundred and sixty low-level clergy. During the search, the Southern Legion had friction with the Flame Warrior Order. Six hundred and twenty soldiers were killed, one hundred and ninety of them died, three hundred seriously injured, and one hundred and thirty slightly injured. One thousand and eighty flame warrior Order killed and two thousand and six hundred captured! The commander of the Southern Legion General Camu reported to His Majesty that the situation in the south was chaotic, and the God Cult incited civilian riots. Twenty friction incidents had occurred in the Flame Warrior Order and the Imperial Local Garage Army...

"Look, is this fuse enough?" The old skeleton smiled and took out another item: "This is the order I have already drafted, and I will send someone to the south today!"

"I am here to make General Camus, the commander of the Southern Legion, in view of the increasing riots in the three southern provinces, specially ordered the territory of the three southern provinces to be war zones, and implement wartime regulations! The commander of the Southern Legion General Camus is appointed as the supreme commander of the war zone! At the same time, the commander of the Southern Legion General Camus has the right to cut off the killing! "Rody finished reading this order, sighed, shook his head and said, "It seems that you are going to take action first in the south? But that's right, the commander of the Southern Legion is rich in experience, outstanding ability, extremely prestige in the south, and is loyal to the empire, and is not a believer. He is a good candidate."

"This is not enough!" Seit suddenly interrupted and said, "What is the situation in the religious institute in the imperial capital now? Did Corsica VI have no other actions?" He seemed to be sneering: "After your order reaches the south, the civil war will break out! Corsica VI will definitely leave the capital immediately and go to the eastern part of the empire controlled by the Divine Cult forces!"

Speaking of this, the three of them looked at each other a few times, and then the three of them whispered in a low voice: "Let's start first! Kill him!"

The old skeleton smiled and said, "The old pope's magic technique is not a joke. Even the strong man in the realm may not be his opponent. We need to discuss this matter carefully..."

Roddy's eyes showed a bit of hatred and said lightly: "We have strong people in the field of Fatty, and me, Princess Ruolan, Sword Saint Warrior and Paladin, Black Veil is a great cultivator, and Old Mark. We can always kill that guy!"

Saiti nodded and said, "But you can't do it in the imperial capital! We can kill it halfway, and then..."

The old skeleton smiled wickedly: "Then he put the charge on the blood clan..."

Seit looked at the old skeleton's face and smiled and said, "Of course, well... it's better for us to reveal the news to the blood clan in advance so that they can also put some effort..."

Two despicable conspirators, one old and one young, began their planning. Roddy was bored and stood up and left to find the fat man to practice martial arts.

In the imperial capital, the core of the imperial divine religion, in the inner hall of the imperial capital religious institute.

Pope Corsica VI was obviously much older, and his eyes seemed to be slightly closed, but there was a hint of lust in his occasionally gaze.

In front of him were several senior elders of the Divine Cult in white.

"The development of things is already very obvious. The Empire is going to attack us this time!" The Pope finally spoke, his voice with a hint of anger: "The civil strife in the Northern Rolands seemed to remind the imperial royal family that they wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate the God Cult."

"His Majesty the Pope." An elder said, "It's no point in our continued stay in the imperial capital. Now in the eastern part of the empire, our fifty flame regiment has occupied two cities and controlled a province. We can go there immediately while the royal family has not publicly turned against us! Then build a parish there and fight against the empire!"

"Yes!" Another elder also spoke: "The God's religion has the deepest foundation in the east! We have countless devout believers in the east, and tens of thousands of heroic Fiery Warriors! We should go there immediately, and then inform the entire empire of the sin of the imperial royal family of betraying the gods! Then start a great holy war to defend the gods!"

Pope Corsica VI finally opened her eyes, slowly swept across everyone, and sighed: "Is this your common meaning?"

Everyone was silent, but their eyes looked at the Pope without any hesitation.

"Okay!" Corsica VI stood up and waved the staff in his hand hard: "Since they want to fight, we will war for them! Pass on my teachings and declare the royal family of the Empire of Light as a heresy that blasphemed the gods! All the believers of the empire will start a war against heresy under the leadership of the gods!"
