However, it is a pity that although the empire's technology is strong, it has encountered a freak like Jiang Yan.

When they sent the collected Lingzi waste back to the most advanced research institute, and after conducting a lot of data analysis through the latest technology, they came to a conclusion that made people a little dumbfounded - this time the attacks on churches all over the empire were launched, and the mastermind behind the scenes did use some kind of spirit guide weapon, but the production process of this spirit guide weapon was exactly the same as that used in the current military factories of the empire!

The bespectacled researcher who was on a data collection mission on the ruins of St. Joel's Cathedral had made his own assumptions at the time, and it turned out to be true.

Although a clue was obtained, this clue did not make the upper echelons of the empire happy at all.

What destroyed so many churches was the spiritual guide weapon produced by the empire - this kind of information is equivalent to directly putting the empire's position under the spear tip of the Holy Light Church, and a bad one can cause a violent conflict between the two sides!

Therefore, the top of the empire issued an order to block the news the moment they learned of this information, especially not to be known by the people of the Holy Light Church. Fortunately, the person in charge of the research institute in charge of analyzing the data also knew the importance of the matter, and made the right response when the analysis results came out, so that the news was not leaked.

After this, the emperor personally ordered and began an investigation of the upper echelons of the interior, especially those of the nobility and high-ranking officials.

Because according to the calculations of professionals, the spiritual guide weapons used in the attack of the mysterious forces against the church this time, not to mention in other regions, these in the empire alone, it can be confirmed that more than two-thirds of the production process is consistent with their own, and that number is enough to support a medium-sized war that can annihilate tens of thousands of people!

Because the empire has a long history and a feudal aristocratic system, it is difficult to completely avoid the ** trip of the aristocratic high-ranking officials who use their power for personal gain, although it has been improved a lot in the reform many years ago compared to the past, but after all, it is still impossible to eradicate this phenomenon.

Not to mention an empire, as long as it is an organization that reaches a certain scale, it is inevitable that there will be this kind of problem internally, after all, it is related to the selfish desires of human beings.

So as long as it doesn't go too far, most of the upper echelons of the empire have adopted a blind attitude towards this phenomenon, as long as they eat too ugly.

However, this time, His Majesty the Emperor was really angry.

Such a large number of spiritual guide weapons, which are likely to be produced by the empire itself, can't they be lost out of thin air, right? Then if you think about it a little, you will know that eighty percent of them are the pots of moths in the garb of glamorous powers!

And such a large degree of abuse of power for personal gain has undoubtedly deeply violated the bottom line of His Majesty's tolerance.

Think about it, if these outcast spiritual guide weapons are obtained by hostile forces, and then used on the empire itself, then what's the point?

"Give Yu a thorough inventory of all the factory's accounts and inventory, and if there is any obstruction, all of them will be punished for treason and punished with capital punishment!!"

With such an order personally issued by His Majesty Will, one by one the indifferent investigators directly broke into the major factories of the empire to conduct a surprise inventory, and ruthlessly dug up all the filth in the ledger records.

This time, Emperor Will the Great, the iron-blooded emperor, once again showed his iron fist to the world.

Less than half a day after the order was issued, the upper echelons of the empire launched a fierce clean-up operation. A large number of nobles and high-ranking officials who committed misdeeds were punished, and the lightest ones were deprived of their titles and most of their property and then demoted to commoners, and even the head of the family was directly sent to prison for execution, and the blood relatives of the offspring were also demoted to low-level slaves, and all human rights and freedoms were deprived of it.

......

In a lavishly decorated manor, in the living room, Jiang Yan held an exaggerated silver giant blade two meters long that was mimicked by slime Xiaobai, swept head-on, and mercilessly cut off the two knights who rushed up, along with the steel long sword and refined armor in their hands.

Poof—

A large amount of blood splashed from the corpse was directly bounced off by the spontaneous deformation of the clothes on Jiang Yan's body, and it did not stain his body in the slightest.

Not far away, two soldier-level phantom beast elves were fighting back and forth with a mass of snow-white spherical creatures of a height of a man in an uncertain shape, their sharp claws and the flames and gales that erupted from time to time collided with the sharp tentacles that extended from the snow-white creatures, ruthlessly destroying the manor's land to a pulp.

When Jiang Yan eliminated the two knights on his side, the two soldier-level elves over there were simultaneously counterattacked because of the death of the deed master, and their momentum suddenly withered, and then they were bound by a large number of tentacles that the snow-white creatures took advantage of the situation, and a sharp blade deformed from the handle mercilessly pierced into their joint muscles, destroying all their resistance ability, and then dragged them into their bodies like a dead dog in their weak and frightened eyes.

"Roar ......!!!"......

The terrifying sound of flesh and bones being twisted and crushed came from behind, but Jiang Yan had long been accustomed to it, and his breathing did not fluctuate at all.

"Xiaobai, you should pay more or less attention to the appearance of eating!"

"Mi ——?"

"Forget it, anyway, it can make others fully appreciate the feeling of fear, and I can do things a little easier. Jiang Yan shrugged his shoulders and looked at a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears who was sitting on the ground in front of him, wearing a silver mask on his face, and the mask automatically transformed into a funny little face with a smile on his face, and then slowly walked towards him, asking as he walked, "Did you say yes, Mr. Viscount Lime?"

The sound he made through the mask was also automatically processed, turning into an inorganic voice like a metallic electronic voice that could no longer be heard.

"Wooh......!!" The middle-aged man was frightened, but his legs and feet had already been weakened, and he could only barely kick his legs and hurriedly move back on the ground, completely ignoring the dirty dirt on the hem of his high-quality clothes.

"Spare me, please, I'll give you money, five hundred gold coins...... No, I'll give you eight hundred gold coins!!"

"I'm sorry, since I've taken the task, I can't let my performance be discredited. Jiang Yan approached him with a faint smile without wavering, and raised the giant blade in his hand.

"No—I'll give a thousand...... Two thousand gold coins will also work...... Ahhhhh......h

Poof—

Jiang Yan flicked his arm, obviously without much strength, the blood stains on the silver blade automatically slipped out.

Looking at Viscount Lem, who was already in a different place, Jiang Yan's heart did not fluctuate, but he complained in a disdainful tone: "Cut, is your life only worth two thousand gold coins? "Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
