The Dunrk massacre has alarmed many forces, and it has also officially surfaced the domestic rebel forces that the Holy Empire has been covering.

Previously, although many people knew that the remnants of the Holy See's rebellion were stirring up trouble in the Holy Empire, causing turmoil in the Holy Empire, this turmoil was still limited to the Holy Empire, and it was not until they assassinated the Holy Empire during the ceremony to welcome King Lance's visit to the Holy Empire, causing thousands of casualties and tens of thousands of people being implicated, that the forces of various countries really took it seriously.

With this attention, many forces and intelligence organizations began to investigate the infiltration of the Holy See's rebellion, only to find out that the Holy See deserved to control the Holy Empire for more than 2,000 years, even if it has been recognized as a human rebellion by the most authoritative legendary powerhouses with conclusive evidence and the most authority, there are still many stubborn diehards among the remnants of the forces, who are not only secretly developing among the common people, but even the infiltration of the upper echelons of the Holy Empire has reached a dangerous situation.

Lanster has the best experience of this.

Just after arriving in Dunrk, he had already been assassinated three times, except for the welcome ceremony when he entered the city:

Once when he was about to arrive at the palace gates, once in the middle of a palace ball, and once when his personal attendant mage was found poisoned in the cup he was drinking from.

Fortunately, all three assassinations were detected in advance and did not cause any casualties, let alone the kind of turmoil that occurred when entering the city.

Even the time when the ball happened in full view of everyone, the order of the ball was only slightly disturbed for a while, and when the assassin on the spot was dragged down by the blood, the blood stains were wiped away. When the music resumed, the nobles of the Holy Empire resumed their joyful dancing as if nothing had happened, and even the ladies and ladies who had fainted in surprise returned to the dance floor with a smile and a groan.

The people of the Duchy of Stuart could see that the nobles of the Holy Empire were not pretending to be calm, but really getting used to it, as if such assassinations were happening every day.

In any case, such frequent assassinations should no longer be the norm for a stable regime, and in a way, it represents a precarious level of instability within the Holy Empire.

No nobleman would be indifferent to a life-threatening existence, and the nobility of the Holy Empire was not calm. It's a numbness. This numbness does not mean that the nobles have ignored the fear of death, but are waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to explode completely.

“…… I think the Holy Empire is now like a powder keg. Once a certain tipping point is reached. The wrath of the nobles of the Holy Empire will be fully vented. ”

Ranster's self-talk was horrifying. The Grand Priest of Pittfen, who was summoned by him, was shocked and said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, what do you mean ......?"

Lancet's solemn look was revealed. What he expected was just as Archpriest Pittfen had thought.

In what way will the aristocracy suppress this countercurrent?

Undoubtedly.

The massacre, and the most brutal of all, to the horror of the civilian population, to the deprivation of the last roots of the remnants of the Holy See!

This was the most common attitude of the nobility of the Muse Continent towards the commoners.

But how can the remnants of the Holy See be compared to other rebels in history?

This is a religious force that has been rooted in the people of the Holy Empire for more than 2,000 years, and it is always prone to stubborn die-hard fanatics, and religious belief is the most unreasonable thing to say, and in many cases, even death does not make those fanatical believers fearful, and even regarded it as a dedication to the gods.

Under these circumstances, the Holy Empire's attempt to eradicate the roots is simply delusional, and if the slaughter is excessive, it will even stir up popular resentment and make more civilians turn against the ruling class, thus exacerbating the situation.

High Priest Pittfen suddenly felt as if he was sitting on the crater.

"What was Androllio III thinking? Doesn't he understand that a tough crackdown is likely to lead to a complete explosion of contradictions? ”

Lenster remembered Anderlevy III's tough attitude after the assassination in the city, and said meaningfully: "Perhaps, this is what he wants!" ”

The High Priest of Pitthorn was shocked, and suddenly understood.

“…… He, he! Holy Empire, they dare, they dare—"

High Priest Pittfen's face quickly turned red with anger, and he said anxiously:

"No wonder the Assassins broke into the siege so easily, perhaps even at the behest of Andrology III! Your Majesty, leave the Holy Empire quickly, and you can't let them succeed! ”

"Don't worry, Anderio III isn't dizzy yet. After that assassination, he had been sure that I had a powerful protector by my side, and that he would not be so mad as to really threaten my life, otherwise he would have used my death as a pretext to launch a purge and direct resentment against Stuart and the Oak Cult...... Nor is it something that the Holy Empire can afford. ”

"Anderlevio III would not have done such a stupid thing."

Lancet was as calm as he was, and said slowly:

"If I'm not mistaken, from the very beginning, Anderlevy III's first target was not me, and if I hastily end my visit and leave under the influence of this dangerous atmosphere, then I am afraid that when I return to the royal capital, I will receive the news that you have been assassinated by the Holy See's rebellion."

High Priest Pitfen was shaken.

"I see...... I see, I see! ”

Referring to his belief in the willingness to give his life and soul to it, Archbishop Pitthorn's mind was clearer than ever:

"Not bad! Not bad! Compared to you, the Oak Cult is an outsider who is more suitable as a target. If they use me as an excuse to launch a purge, they will not only be able to divert hatred, but also curb the spread of our Lord's faith, and when the rebellion and our hatred develop to the point where it cannot be resolved, the Holy Empire will be able to sit back and watch us fight, and even restrict the development of sects in the name of rebellion! ”

High Priest Pitfen sneered:

"I'm wondering how the Narria royal family, who have just toppled the mountain overhead, could so easily establish our sect as the state religion - a 'state religion' that cannot be rooted at all, and can fill some of the gaps in faith and appease some people. It can be used as a weapon to attack the opponents, and it will not shake the foundation of their rule, which is exactly the 'state religion' they need most! ”

The most important thing is that the interest group of the ruling class with Stuart as the core has just taken shape, which is the first step in the foundation of Stuart's eternal life, and the Holy Empire, as the most active member, is an indispensable part of the influence of Ranster and Stuart, even if Lancet understands the intentions of the Holy Empire afterwards, he cannot easily turn his face. You can only swallow the bitter fruit.

Adellio III fought all his life with the Holy See. He didn't know that the best weapon against one religion was another, he knew it all too well!

Satisfied with the comprehension of the High Priest of Pittfen, Lancet calmly reminded:

"Not only the Holy Empire, but other countries may not be happy to see our influence expand."

"You're right. There is more than one potential enemy of ours. ”

High Priest Pitfen gradually calmed down. Ask Lancet:

"So what do we do now? If I can die for my lord. Pitfern is willing to sacrifice himself, but if my death can only stop the spread of the glory of my Lord, I am deeply willing! ”

"High Priest Pitthorn don't worry. Now that Anderlevy III's intentions have been seen, it is not difficult to unravel. ”

Now the Oak Cult and Stuart are already grasshoppers on a rope, and the influence of the Oak Sect is equivalent to the influence of the religious holy place of Stuart, if the situation cannot be opened in the Holy Empire, and even by Anderlevy III, and other countries have followed suit, then the religious holy place of Stuart will become vain, and the foundation of eternity will be cut off from the beginning!

"I have compassion in my heart, but I am seen as weakness...... Well, you can't blame me. ”

Ranster muttered, his blue eyes suddenly cold!

……

Three days later, the assassination that shocked the mainland took place.

King Rantster was invited by Anderio III to address the entire city of Dunker at the central main square of Dunker.

It was a new means of expanding political influence and pacifying the populace, and since it was pioneered by the Saxon Emperor of Merlin and emulated by other nations, the people of Dunker are no strangers to the empire that has suffered from recent turmoil, and hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in the central square to wait for the bread to be distributed after the speech.

In full view of everyone, when His Majesty Lancest, who had finished his first speech, stepped down to hand over to Andro III, the Assassins hidden among the palace guards and the people in close proximity suddenly burst out!

In the large cloud of smoke, no one could see what was happening, and when the smoke cleared, Andro III had already collapsed in a pool of blood, and His Majesty Lancet, who had been wounded several times, protected the dying Andrologist III, and fought hard to resist the assassins who intended to attack, and resolutely held on until the guards came to his side, and then did not fall.

Unfortunately, by this time Andrology III had already taken his last breath and did not leave a word.

In the aftermath of the spell retracement, no one found any problems, and the archmage who went back to reality was completely sure that King Lancester had no suspicion, after all, no one could suspect the shadow on the ground through the heavy smoke.

The subsequent examination of the cause of Anderlevy III's death has also confirmed that Anderlevus III died of a poison that can cause the blood to boil rapidly and drain away.

This poison is a mixture of poison that the Assassin smeared on his sword with an ingredient of a potion that Androllio III used to eat, and then neutralized by a special ingredient in the smoke of the assassination.

Because the medicine on the sword was not poisonous, and the smoke was not poisonous, it was not detected beforehand, and Lancet had not eaten the medicine that Adellio III had taken, and although he was also injured, he was not poisoned.

This assassination shook the entire Holy Empire, and all the intelligence organizations used the fastest channel to send the news back, due to the increasing popularity of long-distance teleportation of crystals, such as the Merlin Empire and the Pere Empire, they learned about it less than two quarters of an hour after the assassination.

Because the assassination was seen by tens of thousands of eyes, and Anderlevy III's injuries could not be concealed at all, the Holy Empire finally had to announce Anderlevy III's death after a two-day delay.

The entire Holy Empire is in turmoil from top to bottom.

The Holy See rebel organization that successfully assassinated the faint monarch completely surfaced and was frantically active, and in just three days, dozens of assassinations were brewed in Dunerke, three of which were successful, killing and seriously injuring two sons of the Narian royal family, and almost the entire family of more than 20 people from a powerful nobleman was killed.

Outside Dunrke, the number of local conflicts and attacks is counted by tens of times.

The nobles, who had endured it for a long time under the suppression of Anderlevy III, collapsed their psychological, and they couldn't help but quickly mobilize their troops and launch a crazy and cruel bloodbath against the civilians!

Within three days, more than 20,000 heads were planted on the cross at the head of Dunerke, and many more suspected and implicated civilians were imprisoned and hanged.

The whole city of Dunerke was filled with heavy blood, and it was rare to see the crows in the big cities gather at the head of the city and mass graves, like dark clouds, and the scavenging vultures hovered over Dunerke, competing with the crows and others for this feast, until three months later, the traces slowly disappeared.

The city of Dunrk, which is home to millions of people, has lost its smiles from the nobility to the common people.

Since the churches of the Holy See have been demolished, the number of people praying in the makeshift houses of the Oak Cult has increased tenfold and hundredfold.

The more turbulent the situation, the more people pray for peace of mind;

The more life is threatened, the more people yearn for salvation after death.

In this atmosphere of debauchery and terror, the religious allure of the Oak Cult exploded in full force.

The god of the oak tree, whose soul, life, and salvation is the realm of the priesthood, fully meets the needs of the people's hearts, and the four Sunnahs of mercy, fraternity, protection, and mercy practiced by the clergy of the sect make the people huddle with each other in the terrifying and cold external environment, and get a precious warmth.

In addition, the Oak Cult has successfully cleared several wronged civilians in prison through the upper power of Ranster, and this influence has made many people who have fallen into hell see hope and throw themselves into the arms of the Oak God.

Archbishop Pitthorn controlled the tempo well, and did not pit the sect against the ruling class of the Holy Empire.

Five days later, a recovering Lancet appeared and persuaded the Holy Empire nobles to stop, and the bloody purges launched by Dunker slowly began to diminish gradually, and the purges outside the imperial capital did not end until three months later.

Somehow, the news became known to the lower classes, and quickly spread, and as Ranster's popularity increased dramatically among the people of the Holy Empire, the Oak Cult's message began to spread widely and spread faster than the plague.

By the time the Holy Empire's rulers found out about the problem, the Oak Cult had completely taken root among the populace of the Holy Empire and could no longer be contained.

Moreover, due to the bloody purge, the commoners of the Holy Empire were unprecedentedly antagonistic to the nobility, and even after the violent purge, the aristocracy did not get the desired results, and the hatred and hostility under the indifference could be felt at the beginning of the appearance of the commoners.

Under these circumstances, the nobility of the Holy Empire finally began to worry about the shaking of the foundations of their rule, and had to accept them into the ruling class, using their faith as a détente between the noble-speaking commoners.

This compromise was of great significance to the Oak Cult, as it represented the official opening of a gap in the ruling class of the Muse Continent and the entry of the Oak Cult into the upper echelons.

At this point, the Oak Cult has overcome the first and most difficult barrier, and its spread on the Muse Continent has become a foregone conclusion, and it can no longer be stopped.
