Chapter 711 Turning Point
Enoa always kept her word. In fact, before the sun went down, the bodies of about thirty people, including Dale En and the group of freedom envoys, had been hung on the street lamp outside the city gate. For a moment, only
Everywhere you look you can see corpses flying in the wind, and under the glow of the blood-red sunset, they look even more terrifying.
It didn’t take long for the scene that happened in Parsus to spread throughout the Eagle Plateau. Frankly speaking, Zhan’s deeds this time were not amazing. Compared to what he had done to the Golden Empire and the Kingdom of Glory before,
In comparison, this time Zhan only executed more than 30 people who were directly involved in instigating and leading the demonstration. As for the others, he basically put them in jail. It seems that this incident itself
It doesn't seem very serious, but for those nobles, this has unprecedented significance.
That is the attitude of the Templar Order!!
You must know that before this, these "messengers of freedom" were scurrying around like rats, inciting those people to march and demonstrate everywhere. This gave the nobles a headache. If it had been before, they could have dispersed these people directly, but the other party
They keep claiming that they are members of the National Salvation Freedom Army, and the Holy Church agrees with their ideas. If these nobles dare to use violence against them, then they will sue the Holy Church, and the Holy Church will impose sanctions on them!
I have to admit that this statement scared many nobles. As members of the Northern Alliance, of course they knew that the damn National Salvation Freedom Army was supported by the Templar Order, and they were always talking about freedom, equality and human rights.
It seems that it is indeed what the Holy Church values. Ordinary nobles are not willing to conflict with the Holy Church head-on, so in the face of these damn demonstrations, they can only bear it bravely. But deep down in their hearts
, those nobles have long been tired of these bastards inciting people to take to the streets. If it were not for the sake of the Holy Church, they would have taken action against those bastards.
But now, those bastards have caused trouble in Parsus, and Zhan En responded decisively. This made the nobles in other places on the Eagle Plateau extremely excited. For a while, the nobles were running around telling each other, smiling broadly.
.Although Zhan didn’t kill too many people, his actions represented an attitude. An attitude towards these rats!!
If Zhan En is just an ordinary nobleman, then if he does this, others may wait and see for a while. But Zhan En is not an ordinary noble lord. First of all, he is a decorated noble, and secondly, he is also the regional bishop of Eagle Plateau.
——Although few people know this latter identity. But as long as the nobles are willing to investigate, they can always figure it out.
So Zhan's action means that the Holy Church does not agree with the behavior of these people. If this is the case, then they can naturally take action! Even if the Holy Church comes to the door, there will be no Parsus in front.
Do you want to hold on? If that's the case, then what else do they have to be afraid of?
For a moment, the wind direction of the entire Eagle Plateau immediately changed.
Before the incident in Passus happened, there were many people demonstrating everywhere in almost every lord's city. They even blocked the door of the lord's mansion, threw bricks and stones inside, and even took the opportunity to smash, loot, and burn.
It happened from time to time. These lords and nobles had already endured to the extreme the group of bastards who relied on the Templar Order to show off their power. Now that Zhan En had taken action, they naturally had no scruples and immediately started to counterattack.
For those demonstrators, their nightmare came without warning.
Groups of heavily armed soldiers appeared in front of them. Without hesitation, they attacked the unarmed demonstrators in front of them, killing all those who dared to resist. Those who tried to resist were also taken directly into the prison dungeon.
, the nobles will not just let it go. You must know that they were tortured so badly by these bastards before that they did not even dare to go out the door. They could only stay in the room and listen to the shouting of those people outside all day long. These nobles' inner thoughts
Deep down, they had been holding their breath for a long time. Now that they finally found a backer, why not settle the score later?
Soon, the parade was completely cleared, and those who participated in the demonstration were either executed or imprisoned to wait for the next punishment. The wind direction changed so fast that it was almost impossible to react.
And Oldman is even more so.
Not long ago, he thought that he could use the power of the Templar Order to replicate the model of the Free National Salvation Army in other parts of the Skaar Federation to expand his power. The performance of those nobles before also strengthened Oldman's decision.
Confidence. He believed that those nobles would not dare to react too violently if they might offend the Templar Order. However, what happened in front of him completely overturned Oldman's thoughts. He had no idea at all.
Thinking that his defeat came so suddenly, in just a few days, almost all the members of the National Salvation Army were wiped out in one fell swoop. And less than one out of ten people managed to escape. This is how fast he went from heaven to hell.
.so that Oldman couldn't react at all. And after he listened to the reports of his subordinates who survived and ran back, Oldman, filled with righteous indignation, immediately found the Templar Order and went to ask for an explanation.
"What is going on? Why is this happening? Those innocent people fell under the swords of those cruel nobles. Isn't there something you can do?"
Faced with Oldman's angry inquiry, Nadia uncharacteristically did not give an explanation immediately. On the contrary, she frowned and stared at Oldman for a while before answering.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Oldman, but our Holy Church has no way to deal with this matter."
"Why?"
Hearing Nadia's answer, Oldman couldn't help but be startled. He originally thought that if such a big thing happened, the Holy Church would definitely take action, or at the worst, they would show their attitude and intimidate the group of nobles. But he didn't expect Nadia
Dia would give him such an unexpected answer, which made Oldman a little unable to understand, but soon, Na Dia gave the answer.
"Indeed, those nobles launched an attack on the marching crowd. But they also had their own reasons."
"Whatever the reason! Isn't it bad enough to attack a defenseless person?"
"And in fact, they don't appear to be unarmed."
As she spoke, Nadia took out a document from her hand and placed it in front of Oldman with a slightly sad expression.
"According to the investigation by the Holy Church, there were indeed no problems with the parade at the beginning. But later, things changed. According to the Paladins and priests, there were many riots among the demonstrators.
and fights. Many innocent people were even involved... Not only did they attack surrounding buildings with stones and stones, but many innocent citizens were implicated and suffered serious injuries. And according to
According to reports, some people even used the name of the parade to carry out robberies and other acts indiscriminately..."
Speaking of this, Nadia also looked sad. In fact, her original idea was similar to Oldman's, but Nadia's idea was not as radical as Oldman's. She wanted to overthrow the nobles through several protests and demonstrations.
The rule of
The poor people struggling for survival have suddenly transformed into hated robbers and gangsters. They even rush into the surrounding shops and taverns unscrupulously, taking whatever they want, and if anyone dares to do anything about their behavior
If you complain, you will either be scolded or beaten severely. This is far beyond what Nadia can accept.
Why is this happening?
Nadia was also puzzled. Logically speaking, the victims were just as poor as the demonstrators, and there was almost no difference between them. But why were the demonstrators able to deal such heavy blows to them?
One thing Nadia did not say clearly in front of Oldman was that after this conflict, there were many complaints and questions within the Templar Order about the behavior of the National Salvation Army. Many of them believed that such a parade
Although demonstrations look very impressive, they can easily turn into riots and riots. Because people who join the demonstrations cannot be reviewed one by one, and if someone wants to fish in troubled waters, it will turn into horrific atrocities. In fact,
It has indeed become like this in some areas. Under this situation, there have been many objections in the Holy Church. They believe that the approach of the National Salvation Army is too inappropriate. Not only does it not allow the nobles to face the demands of the people,
, but made the situation worse and worse. And it was precisely because of this that Nadia made the decision to reject Oldman's request.
"That means there's nothing you can do about it?"
Oldman didn't seem to care at all about what Nadia said. He didn't even look at the piece of paper Nadia put in front of him. Instead, he frowned and asked. As for Oldman's
Asked, Nadia just nodded.
"Yeah, there's nothing we can do."
"Then, I want to report to the headquarters of the Holy Church. These things are too crazy! There may be some minor conflicts, but in any case, they are a group of civilians!! They are not professionally trained soldiers, let alone anything
Powerful mages! Even if they caused a certain degree of commotion, they would not be treated like this!! I hope that the Templar Order can take action, especially the Lord of Parsus!! I have enough evidence. Yes.
It proves that he actively ordered soldiers to kill civilians without any threat, and there were many children among them!!"
As he spoke, Oldman took out a recording crystal from his arms and placed it on the table. When she heard Oldman's words, the corner of Nadia's mouth twitched slightly. She reached out to pick up the recording crystal, and then
He sighed softly and put it on the table again.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Oldman, I really can't do it."
"Why?!!"
Hearing this, Oldman finally couldn't help shouting anymore. He slapped the table hard, and then stared at the paladin in front of him, showing an extremely angry expression.
"He killed our envoy and also attacked innocent civilians. Should the Holy Church want to sit back and let such a devil do whatever he wants?"
Facing Oldman's remarks, Nadia's expression suddenly became very strange. She just stared at Oldman without saying a word. And soon, Oldman was also
Something was wrong with Nadia's strange gaze. He frowned and then opened his mouth to ask.
"What? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"No... nothing is wrong... but..."
While speaking, Nadia also hesitantly organized her words, as if she didn't know how to explain. In the end, she sighed and decided to tell the truth.
"In fact, someone from the Holy Church has submitted a proposal before, but it was rejected by the diocesan bishop. According to the regulations of the Holy Church, once it is vetoed by the diocesan bishop, the proposal will be automatically invalidated. Therefore, even if
With this recording crystal, things will not change."
"What?!!"
Hearing this, Oldman was immediately shocked.
"Why did the bishop of the diocese veto this proposal? Why did he do this? Doesn't he know that this is a conspiracy? Who is he? Nadia, tell me the name of that bastard, I want to talk to him personally!!"
Facing Oldman's roar, Nadia's expression became even weirder. And seeing Nadia's reaction, Oldman was obviously quite dissatisfied. He glared at Nadia fiercely, obviously not understanding why she
It will look like he has seen a ghost.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Who is that bastard? Does it mean that his power in the Holy Church is so great that he can cover up everything with one hand?"
"No...but you should know that person..."
Speaking of this, Nadia's expression became even weirder.
"Because the bishop of the Diocese of Eagle Plateau is none other than the lord of Passos—Mr. Jenn Bashanonmens."
