Chapter 148: The Saints Walk Far (16) Breaking the Devil's Covenant, He Will Be Punished One Day
In the year 1150 of the Great Calendar, Pergamon in Roman Hephi, located in Middle-earth, under the planning of Qutu, launched a purge against the opposition through the attack of the hotel clown, which is known as the coup d'état on the eve of God's arrival.
As early as more than a month before meeting with Mei Yi, Kutu invited all important figures of Roman Hefei to participate in the celebration on the grounds of the 310th anniversary celebration of the founding of the country. And now that Mei Yi is coming to summon the gods, there is even more reason for all the nobles to gather.
Well, for the reason of the audience with the gods, so all the nobles are invited, which is quite logical, and even the opposition cannot find fault in this regard.
However, the arrangement of this coup d'état was Kutu's established plan, and before the plan, he did not consider that a god would be on his side - of course, it is better to be on his side, so that he has more leverage.
So even if Leng Yi is conservative and neutral, Kutu can rely on his own power to complete the original plan. Thirty years of fame is not just a boast of a clown in a hotel.
Before the celebration of the founding of the 310th anniversary of the founding of the Romanhefi, the contradictions between the opposition and the Qutu faction had gradually accumulated to a flashpoint with one incident after another.
The core of the struggle between the two sides is mainly power.
As the most powerful ruler in the history of the Roman Hefei, Kutu naturally hoped to gain more power, and those conservatives with the tribal assembly system limited Kutu's power in all aspects, and the contradictions between the two sides had already stopped during a northern invasion.
The struggle for power is fundamental, and what is embodied in the current political arena is the relocation of the capital. What the opposition said about the ancestral homeland should not be moved lightly is false, and the reason why the capital relocation incident tore apart the court is just for both sides to confirm that the various nobles in the court support which side.
In the past few years, the temptation in the court has ended, and the Qutu and the opposition will begin to enter the stage of bayonet red, continuing the civil war that was not fought when Kutu ascended the throne more than ten years ago.
Although the opposition is well aware of Kutu's prestige, but if Kutu wants to centralize power, it will inevitably harm the interests of many people, and besides, if it really can't be defeated, the opposition can still betray the country, isn't it an easy thing?
In the face of Kutu's step-by-step pressing, the opposition also resorted to various means, and even made deals with the devil, such as the devil's horn that Kutu took out to exorcise Mei Yi.
When at the banquet, several opposition members saw that the devil's horn was taken out, they guessed that the matter had been exposed, and as Mei Yi successfully completed the exorcism, several people sweated like rain and trembled, and the most timid opposition directly gave in to Kutu, pouring beans to Kutu to repent, saying that this devil was coming to assassinate Kutu.
Qutu seized the opportunity and ordered the army to enter the city and begin to arrest those involved in the case.
Hearing the news, everyone present understood that now Kutu was going to treat this matter as a big case and tear his face with the other party in an all-round way.
Things have come to this point, and the banquet can't go any further—but this was originally a Hongmen banquet. After this, Kutu asked Mei Yi for another matter, helping Pergama to carry out the exorcism ritual, and after Mei Yi agreed, he led his men back to his palace first.
In the second half of the night, Leng Yi followed Mei Yi, under the protection of Kutu's guards, and shuttled through the city of Pergamum, looking for devil ruins everywhere and preparing for exorcism.
While preparing, Leng Yi heard the sound of fighting, neat footsteps, scolding, and torches lighting up the starry sky of the night, and all the residents in the city were woken up, but they all closed the doors and windows tightly.
When Maye finds the devil in the city, she realizes what Kutu is telling her to do.
This devil is also Mei Yi's old acquaintance - after all, he who has traded with the lord of a country is definitely not the kind of fledgling devil.
Before being driven away by Mei Yi, the devil was like a bullied little daughter-in-law, Mei Yi looked at Mei Yi with resentment, and that resentful look made Luo Man Hefei, who was escorting Mei Yi, drop his jaw, they had never seen the devil so wronged.
"Saints, do you have the bastard Kutu who came to you because he wanted to break the contract, and he didn't want to pay the rest of our deposit, after all, the devil had been exorcized. But I've done so much for him, you know? I did the math in my mind, and I lost this round!"
Mei Yi's expression was like comforting a wronged child, but her hand movements were not slow at all: "Yes, I know, but poor child, more importantly, if you don't run away, you will be caught by me, then you will be lucky enough to become another devil who died at my hands." ”
The devil also understood this, and abandoned the path leading to this place in the gap, and in the end, the devil also left a last word that made Roman Hefei's worship pores terrified.
"No one dares to take advantage of the devil, and it is better for Qutu to pray that his descendants will always be wise, or we will destroy his kingdom to repay this betrayal. ”
[Eh, Roman Hefei was targeted by the devil, and he didn't know if it was good or bad] Leng Yi, who was mixed in the team, touched his chin and thought [But Kutu's courage is also big enough, using Mei Yi to eat black on the devil, those devils pit people all day long, and today they are finally planted in the hands of mortals]
After the successful exorcism, Mei Yi and the students, led by the worship, arrived at their residence, where they would take a break tonight, no, this morning, until the chaos outside Pergamum was over.
The students had not slept since the evening banquet, and then had been exorcizing for half a day, and now they were so tired that most of them had slept when they arrived at their residences, in the face of the roaring fights outside.
The fighting continued until the sun came out, and it did not subside until noon.
During the civil strife, some thugs tried to storm the commercial area in the slums of Pergamum, but they were soon taught to behave by the city's soldiers, and rows of corpses hung on the gallows, reminding the residents of Pergamon to be honest.
Therefore, in hindsight, most of Pergamum's losses were caused by the destruction of the battle, and the commercial area did not suffer much loss.
The final result of the fighting in the city of Pergamum, which lasted last night until noon today, was that most of the opposition present were arrested, including Cutu's eldest son, Ramo, and only a small number of the opposition fled in a hurry.
When receiving Mei Yi, in the face of Mei Yi's polite greeting, Kutu replied with a smile that it may only take an armed march to draw a perfect end to this coup.
After the coup d'état, as a very important political body of Romanhefei, the tribal assembly was arrested by Qutu nine times out of ten, and what will happen to the tribal assembly after that is not left to Kutu to rub.
It can be said that after 17 years on the throne, through this coup d'état on the eve of God's Coming, the 55-year-old Kutu finally grasped full power, and since then, at least in the land of origin of Romanhephi, there is no force that can balance Kutu.
In the afternoon, following May's summons, the Apostle of God played by Leng Yi appears, looking down on the people of Roman Hefei, and Leng Yi declares that Kutu is the best lord of the country that Roman Hefei has ever seen.
When Leng Yi said this, Kutu reciprocated, fulfilled his responsibilities, and promised to vigorously support the priesthood system - now it is also very necessary, Kutu has eaten the devil black in front of him, and does not train some priests, and Kutu himself is panicking.
After the Advent ended, Mei was granted the position of Divine Messenger by Kutu, which gave Mei the right to legally train priests and pass through the land of Romanhephi.
As for Kutu's own affairs, as he said, what followed was nothing more than an armed march, the bones of the opposition had been broken in the coup, and the few who fled back were nothing more than the wails of defeated dogs.
As for the foreign aid that the opposition was looking for, the rebellion on the Sfi Plains did not last long at all, and was torn apart by the snake Makina and the coalition forces themselves.
As for the attack of the Hefists in the west, the noble Lamoda, who had been prepared for a long time, led the men to resist, and when the Hefists heard that the civil strife on the other side was over, they withdrew their troops, and the two sides did not cause a more serious conflict.
In 1151, when the civil strife was peaceful, the triumphant Kutu even changed the name of the country, declaring it "the country of Romanhephi of Kutu", or "Romanhefi" for short, as the permanent name of the country.
Hearing Kutu's changed name of the country, Leng Yi couldn't help but look depressed, he originally ordered with the will of God, just to make the name of the country simple and easy to remember, but I didn't expect that this group of scum really has policies and countermeasures, although now the country can still be called Roman Hefei, but his official name has been changed.
But this pot really can't be pushed to Kutu, this thing was first made by the Hephenians.
A few years ago, when Kutu attacked the Sifei Plain, the Hefis in the east were very frightened and wanted to huddle together for warmth, but no one was convinced, and finally under mutual compromise, these forces formed an "anti-Roman Hefi Hefi Alliance", referred to as the "Hefei" country, which was regrouped.
This is like Rome, everyone in the ancient Roman Empire knew it, but how many people knew that the official name of this country was "Senate and the Roman People".
Mei Yi stayed in Romanhefei for another half a year, set up the priesthood system, and finally represented the identity of Kutu and sent Sifei. On the one hand, it was to establish a priesthood system for Hefei, and on the other hand, it was to convey the meaning of Kutu and let Hefei and Roman Hefei sign a peace treaty.
After all, now all of Kutu's thoughts are devoted to digesting Pergamum's territory, so that Pergamon can be used as a basic plate that can connect the origin land and the Sifei Plains, and there is no idea of continuing to fight with Hefei for the time being.
In Hefei's land, Mei Yi summoned another cold game, which made the arrogant Hefei people bow their heads and humbly listen to Mei Yi's mission.
Finally, in the year 1152 of the Great Calendar, the land of Hephi and Roman Hefei, like Surassi, entered a state of peace, ending the endless war that began more than a hundred years ago.
In the spring of 1153, with the title of Evoker, Mey left the land of Romanhephi and went to the next foreign land. The difference is that this time May's team has fewer students from Sulasi and more students from Hefei.
