Chapter 286: The Trial Begins

Under the leadership of the councilors, the people have participated in the interrogation of the nobles several times, but this time the interrogation object is actually the priest of the Holy See, or the most noble red-clothed priest, which makes them extremely shocked, although after joining the Eye of the Heavens, they have been prepared to confront the Holy See, but this day inevitably came a little too early.

The people were silent, and they stared at the red-clothed priest on the high platform, who they had once regarded as the spokesperson of the gods and the savior of the kingdom, with a strange look in their eyes.

As the object of interrogation, Officer Tennir also stared coldly at the crowd below, he had seen such a sensational scene many times, but this time his identity was no longer the leader of the crowd, but a humiliated prisoner, feeling the scrutinizing eyes from all around, Tennir felt a great shame.

He had long been accustomed to being on high and receiving prostrations from the faithful, who had been his most faithful servants a few months before, but now they had become enemies of the Holy See.

These blasphemers deserve to be sent to hell!

The two soldiers staggered to the center of the platform, the most conspicuous place where even the outermost people could see the situation.

"Get on your knees!"

The soldier on the left grabbed him by the shoulder and yelled.

Priest Tenniel gave him a cold look.

"Get on your knees!"

The soldier lifted his leg and kicked Officer Tennier in the knee mercilessly.

The pain was so severe that he couldn't stand on his feet, and his knees made heavy contact with the ground.

"I'm sure you may feel a little unfamiliar with this face, but it doesn't matter, I'll tell you," the councilor motioned for the soldier to raise Tennier's head so that his face could be seen by everyone involved, "I don't need to explain too much about this robe, he is the red-clothed priest of the Temple of the Holy See, named Tenniel Barra, you don't need to doubt the authenticity of his identity, his badge and the seal on his forehead cannot be faked." ”

"I'm not wrong, am I?" the councillor turned his head to the priest.

Priest Tennir gasped and was silent for a long time: "Yes!"

"Okay," the councilor smiled, he had been preparing for this Judgment Day for a long time, although the atrocities of the nobles in the Void Ancestor Territory had already made the people unbearable, but the tall image that the Holy See had created over the years was difficult to erase in the hearts of the people in a short period of time, and even if he killed more nobles and evildoers, it would not have much effect on the current situation.

From the very beginning, the parliamentarians did not regard the nobles and warlords as their main enemies, the Eye of the Heavens spread among the people in a missionary way, and the Holy See was the opponent he wanted to overthrow.

But this opponent is too strong, with all the power all over the continent, and the influence among the people is far-reaching.

The best way to change this situation is to arouse the indignation of the masses and make them understand that their suffering is dominated by the Holy See and the nobility, and that the doctrines and sacredness of the Holy See are shameless lies.

But this method is not enough on your own, and if you want to publicize the crimes of the Holy See, it is best to let the people of the Holy See speak for themselves.

"The Holy See army stationed the Void Ancestor a few months ago and defeated the royal family in the name of cultivating demons, plunging the otherwise peaceful Void Ancestor into war, but it's nothing, and if the Holy See can change our lives for the better, we'd love to see that change...... But what has happened to us?" The councillor stared at the crowd below, their breathing becoming heavier, apparently thinking of their own misery: "We have seen not a beautiful new life, but a greedy beast, a sharp sword, to drink the last drop of our blood!

"And all this happened under the noses of the Holy See troops, and I thought they would send soldiers to get justice for us. The councillor continued, "The Holy See army treats us like thugs and rebels!"

"You haven't forgotten the fallen pine collar from a month ago, have you?"

"We just wanted to get our crops and land back from the greedy marquis, and the result?" the councillor sneered, rolling up his cuffs to reveal the shocking wound on his arm, "and the Crusaders ruthlessly suppressed most of our brothers died in that battle. ”

No, you obviously want to occupy the Fallen Pine Territory, and then use it as a basis to further develop your power, and then march towards the royal city.

The Fallen Pine Territory is the hinterland of the Northern Fortress, and if it is out of the control of the Crusaders, most of the entire northern territory of the Void Ancestor will fall into the hands of the Eye of the Heavens.

You obviously started this war first!

Tenniel struggled to raise his head, desperately trying to lash out at the councillor, but was horrified to find that he couldn't even utter a word.

The only thing that comes out of my throat is the meaningless note "ho-ho".

"My brother was beheaded by the Crusaders!"

"The Crusaders protected the nobleman who did evil!"

"Our lives are not worth anything in the eyes of the nobles, and the clergy of the Holy See do not take us to heart!"

The crowd was outraged.

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of the councilor's mouth, and he took two steps forward and said in a deeper voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, after this, I have discovered something disgusting. ”

The councillor took out a stack of parchment scrolls from his pocket, with different seals on them, they came from different noble families, and pointed to the kneeling priest Tenniel and said, "I found this in the church of the temple after I captured him, do you want to know what is recorded on it?"

The councilor's eyes slowly swept over the crowd, and he said word by word: "This is a secret letter from the major nobles bribing the priests, which clearly records the wealth that the nobles have looted in various places of the Void Ancestor, the proportion and date of the surrender to the Holy See, and in addition to the silver coins, the nobles are secretly collecting other things for the Holy See......

Tenniel felt a cold sweat fall from his forehead, and he swallowed, if this matter was made public by the councillor, the image of the temple would really collapse completely.

"What is it?" someone in the crowd asked.

"Baby girls, girls, maidens, women!" the councilor's eyes were cold and chilling, and he paused for a moment: "Ladies and gentlemen, you should be able to guess what the priests are doing collecting these poor women, who have been looted and stolen from all over the world, and sent to the temple like cattle, nominally serving the gods......"

The councillor suddenly turned his head and asked in a loud voice at Tanil, "Tell me, what are their identities in fact?"
