Chapter 253: Purification
At this time, the newly formed Church of Light finally began to appear, and the prepared clergy went to various parts of the Noah Kingdom in groups, the Light camp no longer exists, and half of the continent belongs to the territory of the Noah Kingdom, but the hundreds of years of decay and rule of those kingdoms are not only cancers, but also rotten sores.
If you can't cure these rotten sores and can't tolerate them, you have to take out a knife and cut them fiercely, cutting off all the rotten flesh and pus until the bright red texture is exposed, and then pat the prepared hemostatic powder and raw muscles.
If it is replaced by a human king, then no matter how wise and powerful he is, I am afraid that he will be overthrown by his subordinates in the name of tyrants in seven days, but the Church of Light calls on the people of the whole continent to rebel against the brutal and corrupt nobles in the name of the God of Light, starting from the Kingdom of Noah and the nearby two countries, the Church of Light has slashed thousands of people in a month, and the clergy have lost hundreds, and the church can be called a heavy loss.
The eldest princess in charge of affairs then asked the kingdom for help, and General Kane Kodak immediately disbanded the Sixth Legion that he had brought up on the spot, and dismantled into countless cleaning teams to follow the clergy to various places, these veterans who crawled out of the mountain of corpses and blood as long as they were not dragged back by the commander, killing people was what they were best at.
The Church of Light issued the [Purification Order], stating that the nobles are the pillars of the kingdom and the cornerstone of the kingdom, and they have the responsibility to protect the territory and the people and uphold the virtues, but the false gods have fooled the world so that the morality has deteriorated, and the purification operation will begin in the territory of the Noah Kingdom from now on, first by the clergy team to conduct inspections, and there are gods to supervise and maintain faith to ensure that they will not engage in favoritism.
In March, tens of thousands of corrupt nobles, warlords, and officials were beheaded by the big-headed soldiers from the Sixth Legion with a sneer, and the government was cleared, and then the church pacified the local area to maintain the previous life, and the influence of the Bright Church increased rapidly, and the kingdom desperately paid attention to training reserve officials, and then transferred to various places to take over local affairs.
In order to reduce the pressure of rule, the king of Noah's kingdom announced that the borderless lands began to annex immigrants, and the people who were too scattered to move to livable places were centrally governed, although the kingdom's nominal territory would be greatly reduced, but in fact it would increase the vitality and productivity of individual towns.
The murderers took a two-month break to confess to the gods under the psychological guidance provided by the church priest to prevent them from being stressed out and having a nervous breakdown, and then transferred those veterans who were no longer suitable to the local garrison or arranged for retirement, and the rest of the people took out the excitement of killing and made other arrangements, and the rest began to take the recruits to other places to continue the cleanup.
Less than three days after the start of the second purification campaign, the purification team was ambushed near a certain canyon, more than half of the thousands of veterans were killed and wounded, Kane Kodak was furious, and on the second day, he led 3,000 recruits to the vicinity of the canyon, and defeated the army of rebel nobles who planned to ambush him with 3,000 to 10,000, and then beheaded all the nobles within 500 miles of the vicinity, regardless of rank, and made their heads into a Jingguan to shock the Quartet.
This time, it completely chilled those nobles who were lucky, and they all went to the Church of Light to pray for mercy, and after the church asked the gods for instructions, these people were allowed to leave the kingdom with all their family members, giving up all their status, privileges and wealth, and were arranged by the Noah Kingdom to pull the fleet to several desert islands, leaving them to reclaim the wasteland, and life and death only depend on the will of heaven.
At this time, the original light camp had already seen that neither the gods nor the church cared about their rebellion, and any resistance would only lead to more cruel results, the commoners cheered, the nobles and officials could not sleep at night, calling day and night for some power to save their 'innocent' people, but the savior never appeared.
Half a year later, at the cost of thousands of veterans retiring and thousands of executioners no longer able to hold knives, more than 100,000 people were tried in public places such as squares and shrines, or executed, or forced labor.
After another half a year, King Noah announced that he would give up the throne to General Kane, Kane Kodak resolutely did not accept, but he did not expect that the king took his two younger brothers to run into the church temple overnight to ask to serve the gods, and the next day all the nobles and officials found that the king was gone, and it was too late to rush to the church, and no one except Kane could serve the people to lead this tenfold expanded kingdom, so he had no choice but to ascend the throne.
……
The kingdom of Noah, sixteen miles outside the royal city.
The kingdom of Noah was originally located in the middle of the bright camp, and two of the three rivers that flowed through half the continent met near the royal capital, so the river transportation was developed and the products were abundant, and it was one of the richest royal capitals on the continent.
After the Bright Camp became a country, neither the Noah royal family nor King Kane, who later ascended the throne, planned to change the royal capital, but the Noah royal family took the lead in proposing that after King Kane ascended the throne, he arranged hard labor to build the main temple of the Church of Light on a barren hill six miles outside the city.
This barren mountain hundreds of meters high and a large area of land nearby belong to the gift of the Noah's kingdom to the church, tens of thousands of hard laborers have worked for more than half a year, and only a small part of the project has been completed, and several major temples have been built, anyway, these slaves captured for the purification operation have long been decided by the kingdom to consume all here, their sins are too many, it is too cheap to kill them, so that they kill two birds with one stone, and there is no need to share the labor on the heads of the commoners.
The completed part is mainly at the summit, which accounts for less than one-third of the estimated total amount of the summit project, and the rest of the arrangements from the summit down have not yet started, except for the necessary mountain paths, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is protracted.
If it were to be done by conscripting civilians, even the maintenance of the faith would be a great work of labor and money, and if it were not for the staggering number of criminals who had been caught, the staggering amount of wealth that had been confiscated, and the large number of hard labor that could be seen in the future, Shapard would never have allowed the church to accept this proposal.
The temple area that has been built is not mainly solemn, but more forest gardens and flower beds are built, forming a manor-like design, and the hollow cloisters and simple decorative arches are the main body of the area, and on rainy days, as long as you pass through these cloisters, you can avoid the rain to reach everywhere, which is convenient and beautiful.
The front and rear of the temple are divided into three floors and seven buildings, and in the rear temple, the former Patriarchal Princess of the God of Light, and now the First Holy Maiden of the Church of Light, is kneeling in front of the true body of the true God on the earth, and pleading in a humble tone: "My lord, is it because of the sins of following the false gods that you do not want to be blessed with my unclean body?" ”
