Chapter 257: Religious Conflict
The ranks of the garrison are divided into marine units and fleets, of which the brigades of the marine forces are of the same rank as the commander of the auxiliary ships, and the rank of captain is the rank. The regimental commander of the Marine Division is of the same rank as the commander of the main battleship, and the rank is major. The commander of the Marine column is the same rank as the commander of the detachment, and the rank is lieutenant colonel. The commander of the Marine Corps regiment rank is the same rank as the commander of the non-main fleet, and the rank is colonel. The colonel, on the other hand, can command the main fleet, at the same level as the corps-level commander.
Under normal circumstances, the person who can be the commander of the main fleet in other countries is at least an admiral, but in the garrison, he is only a colonel. Because the status of the garrison force cannot be higher than that of the commander of the Zerg fleet, you must know that most of the nine brain worm commanders in the Luoyun Star Domain are now with the rank of brigadier general, and only a few are with the rank of major general. And the nine fleet commanders of the Nar Star Domain, including Marpel, are all commodore generals.
As for the level of the administrative officer, it is corresponding, the planetary archon is the legion level, that is, the same level as the colonel, and the star system archon is half a level higher, because some star systems have only one colony star, or only one resource star, so only the archon with multiple colony stars and resource stars can be on the same level as the brigadier general.
Of course, the relationship between the two is not subordinate to each other, the garrison is responsible for counterinsurgency, and the consul is responsible for all government affairs in the entire jurisdiction, except for the district consul (similar to the Elsa district, which governs several star systems) does not have the right to call the garrison.
This is also to prevent those nobles from acting indiscriminately, after all, the nobles who can become the consuls of the upper district are carefully selected elites, and there will be no problem. But stellar-level and planetary-level archons are different, many of them were only students of aristocratic schools until a few days ago. Let them govern not because of how capable they are. Only because they are loyal to the empire.
This is also something that there is no way to do at this stage, after all, the territory of the empire's one-time expansion is too large, and the lack of administrative officials is inevitable.
McGonagall and Megandra both had their own opinions, and neither of them convinced anyone. Megantra believes that although the starting point of entering the garrison is low, there is a lot of room for promotion, and it is even possible to become a general in charge of the Zerg fleet. However, McGonagall believes that the starting point of politics is high, although there is not enough room for promotion, but if you have the ability, you also have a chance to be promoted, although even the status of the district consul is not as good as a zerg fleet, but if you can become a star field consul, it is different.
Megantra scoffed at McGonagall's whimsy, and there are currently only two star domain archons in the entire empire, Victor and Marpel, but there are more than twenty Zerg fleet commanders. It's clear which one is better at a glance. However, McGonagall is confident in her abilities, believing that a fool like Victor can't match him. As for Marpel, he admires it very much, and he has already made remarkable achievements since he took over as the star field archon for half a month.
For some unknown reason, however, Marpel was very weak in his attitude towards heretics or unbelievers. This made him very unhappy. In McGonagall's view, the Cult of Kosmos is the foundation of the Empire's rule, and only by highlighting the status of the Cult of Kosmos can the Empire be truly stable.
At this moment, there was a commotion not far away, with screams and angry scolding, and even the sound of jumping insects roaring.
McGonagall and Megutella glanced at each other and prepared to check on the situation. Although there is a high probability of armed conflict there, the two of them are not afraid at all. Megantra is a third-level believer. According to the rank, it is a third-level paladin. And McGonagall is a fifth-level believer, a fifth-level paladin according to her rank, just one step away from the whitecoat. So they didn't pay any attention to these weak Raqqa people.
Both of them are strong people, although there is a lot of traffic because they are in the downtown area, but they are rudely pushed away. When those Raqqa people saw that it was two humans, their faces changed, and they didn't dare to step forward to theorize.
The Raqqa people have had a natural fear and inferiority complex towards humans since they were conquered by the Republic of Dortcara, and even more so after being conquered by the Great Chu Empire. Because more than a month ago, the empire transferred more than 400,000 believers from the Divine Cult from Is, of which 20,000 were settled in Mona.
Naturally, the status of these people cannot be compared with that of the Raqqa. In the laws of the Empire, untouchables are to make way for citizens. While most of the Christians are good-tempered missionaries, there are some who are short-tempered. The consequences of provoking them can be imagined. Over time, when the Raqqa saw humans, they consciously moved out of the way, and at the worst of all, they hid far away.
It didn't take long for the two of them to break through the crowd to the site of the riot, and then they were shocked to find that it was not an armed riot as they had imagined, but two groups of people who also served the empire were facing each other.
On one side was a human officer with a dozen jumping worms, while on the other side were two Kosmos members in blue cultist uniforms, and beside them was a rakka with their hands cut off. Such a combination suddenly made McGonagall and Megantra dumbfounded, what happened here as the Orderists who were the servants of the true gods actually confronted the Zerg who were born as the chosen ones?
"Please do not hinder the official duties of our Inquisition, this evil unbeliever who spreads untrustworthy statements in public places, and everyone has received stolen goods." One of the blonde men in a blue religious uniform said as he pushed the Raqqa with his hands cut to the ground, while the Raqqa writhed in pain and said, "I'm not guilty, why are you arresting me?" ”
Because the believers have been instilled in memory before coming here, there is no big problem in language communication.
"I'm sorry, but according to Lord Marpel's orders, no arrests are allowed at this time except for riots, so please let this Raqqa man go." There was not the slightest expression on the face of the human officer with the swarm.
"Hmph, stupid, rigid!" Another Kosmos muttered discontentedly......
"I'm sorry, they broke the religious law, we must take this man away." The Kosmos cultists who were holding on to the Raqqa would not budge.
"You're making it hard for me to do this, citizen, and if you refuse to obey the order, I'm going to arrest you."
Hearing this, Megentra suddenly became angry: "What is Master Marpel doing?" How can you be so tolerant of the untrustworthy? ”
"Maybe I'm afraid of riots, so I'm very conservative in religious matters, and I don't completely follow the model of Luo Yun Star Domain." McGonagall said with some disbeloved.
At the beginning, when the Luo Yun Star Domain was strictly enforced by the religious code and the imperial constitution, there were large-scale riots, all because these laws were too harsh on the so-called "untouchables". However, the riot was later quelled by Empress Kerrigan with more forceful means, and that time it was a floating corpse. However, there were no large-scale riots after that, only sporadic terrorist attacks by rebels.
If Marpel strictly follows the Rowan model, there will undoubtedly be a major riot, which is likely to cause Morgana's resentment, and may also affect the army on the front line of Sekaron, which is why Marpel is so hesitant about religious issues. In order to prevent the displeasure of the Raqqa people with his excessive actions, Marpel ordered that they should not be arrested except in the case of riots and attacks on the citizens of the Empire.
"To be an enemy of the Kosmos is to be an enemy of the Lord, and are you not loyal to the Lord?" The Kosmos were furious when they heard the officer's words.
The officer's face changed, the Lord was the object of the Empire's unconditional allegiance, how could they betray the Master? However, the orders of his immediate superiors had to be carried out, so the officers were very embarrassed. But all of a sudden, he figured it out again, this guy was obviously secretly changing concepts, why did these two guys represent the Kosmosis Cult? And on what basis does the Kosmos Cult represent the Lord? The will of the swarm is not yet above the master.
Thinking of this, the officer's face became gloomy again: "The master is supreme, but his will is not something that the two of you can represent, and if you continue to mess around, I will arrest the two of you together." ”
Because they couldn't understand the Islamic language, the Raqqa people who were watching from a distance didn't know what was happening, but they were angry when they saw the Raqqa who was captured, and they didn't care why the Raqqa was arrested.
Seeing this, McGonagall knew that she could not sit idly by, so she stepped forward and asked, "Whose subordinates are you?" ”
"Archon of the city of Monerlag." The officer didn't dare to slack off when he saw that it was a human in a red uniform, so he replied honestly.
"Take me to Monerlag." Monerlag knew that a lord who had come here with him a month ago was a distant relative of a small family, a third batch of graduates of the Elsa Noble School, and it had taken so long for him to have achieved enough to see how capable he was.
"This ......" the officer hesitated.
"My name is McGonagall. Sampus. "Although I don't want to use the family relationship, I can't care so much at the moment.
"The Samps? I see, I'm going to contact Master Monerlag. "The Samps family is also considered a wealthy family in the empire, so no one dares not to sell their face.
"Wait!" McGonagall turned to the man whose hands were cut off in the lingua franca of the Dark Council and asked, "You don't believe in the Cult of Kosmos?" ”
"The theory of ghosts and gods is pure nonsense!" The Raqqa man replied.
"Cut off his head!" McGonagall said with a gloomy face.
"What?" Both the officers and the Kosmos were a little stunned.
"He just blasphemed the Juggernaut, don't you understand?"
McGonagall knew that her time might have come, that Marpel had made a fatal mistake in religious matters, and that his current position, while not likely to bring Marpel down, was an opportunity to enter the upper echelons of the Empire...... (To be continued......)
