Chapter 553: Hunter Exclusion Decree

The Iris Palace and the Queen's Road neighborhood next to the Iris Palace were almost destroyed in the battle to expel the Great Demon God Amoneto, which was not suitable for office, and the two highnesses of the princess and the duke were placed in the Clover community.

Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had just returned to the upper district of Westdum the day before yesterday, was busy with her feet on the ground.

Yasha is the only remaining royal orthodox in the Kingdom of Westom, and the only legitimate heir to the royal family of Westlaire. The significance of her coming to the upper district is very significant, and it can have the effect of calming people's hearts.

At the same time, the reorganization of the Royal Government is also imminent. Only when the new government of the kingdom is put in place can the disaster relief work, the reconstruction of the kingdom, and the ongoing battle against the demon plague go more smoothly.

It can be seen how busy Yasha will be.

Yesterday and today, however, Her Royal Highness would run to Levi's bedside as soon as she had a little free time.

……

At present, the two main dilemmas facing Westdum are the 'Demonic Calamity' and the conflict between the Hunter and the Holy Cult.

Both of these problems are serious.

The ninety-nine demon gates opened in Wei City brought great disasters to Wei City.

Some of the small demon gates are fine, it takes a few minutes to run out of a demon, and the demon that comes out is not very strong.

But there are also individual demon gates, which are relatively large in scale, and even lord-level big demons will appear from them.

Lord-level big demons, those are all element-level powerful monsters.

The opening of the Demon Gate on the first day of the year brought a lot of damage to Wei City. According to rough statistics, there were more than 100,000 casualties that day. The vast majority of these casualties came from the lower districts.

Here I have to praise the fraternity. Thanks to the Great Revolution of the Lower Regions a month or two ago, the rule of the corrupt royal government over the lower districts was basically overthrown, and the strong organizational ability of the Brotherhood was demonstrated, and the revolutionary army led by them essentially gained control of the lower districts.

These revolutionary armies, under the leadership of the Brotherhood, played a very important role in the scourge. Although their training level is not enough, the level of equipment is much better than it was a month or two ago.

When the demon plague first broke out, the demons that appeared everywhere certainly caught the revolutionary army by surprise, but they soon fought back under the organization of the backbone members of the brotherhood.

Without them, the casualties in the lower districts would have been much worse.

After the battle of Iris Palace, the unconscious Levi was sent back to the rear, and the rest of the people spread out directly around Iris Palace, Iron Cross Avenue and Clover Community. On that day, nearly twenty demon gates in the upper area were directly closed. This is not only the result of the battle of the Demon Hunters and their allies, the Holy Sect has also made a lot of efforts to solve a lot of Demon Gates.

The suppression in the early stage caused the damage in the upper area to be relatively not very serious, and today, that is, later on the day when Li Wei woke up, the last demon gate in the upper area has been closed.

The situation in the lower districts is slightly worse.

Through the efforts of the Revolutionary Army, the Brotherhood, and the Gate Guild, the Demon Gates in many populated areas have been swept away in the past few days; For those who are temporarily unable to clean up, there are corresponding measures, the most important of which is to lock down the area and evacuate residents.

But despite this, there are still most places that are 'occupied areas', and they can only rely on the local revolutionary army to resist on their own and wait for support.

Now, the Holy Cult and the Demon Hunters, as well as the forces of the nascent kingdom government, are urgently heading for the lower districts.

Of course, the hunters and the royal government wanted to quell the evil scourge in the lower districts as soon as possible, and the key to why the Holy Sect was so active was to grab territory.

The Holy Cult is not the same as the cult that has developed in secret, such as the Deep Dark Order, and their teachings are quite attractive to ordinary people, and they themselves are in line with human values - to guide people to goodness and follow order...... This kind of thing, no one will object to.

In addition, the Holy Church has long exerted a very positive influence in the churches throughout Westdum.

Changing the previous strategy of Taoguang and obscurity, the Holy Sect will enter the lower districts and close the Demon Gate, and at the same time, it will also rely on the local church to establish the direct control of the Holy Sect over the block.

At present, the royal government is still in chaos and cannot form direct rule over all parts of the city. The management of the grassroots level in the lower districts is actually carried out by the grassroots organizations of the brotherhood. The Holy Church did not directly exclude the grassroots organizations of the Brotherhood, but it essentially formed a transfer of the ruling power over the lower districts. Through the merit of destroying the Demon Gate, as well as the influence they have built up over the past, they have direct control over the areas they have purified.

One of their most aggressive measures is the 'exclusion of hunters', who forbid any witcher to operate in their 'parish'.

This caused a lot of strong resentment among the demon hunters.

After the incident in the Iris Palace, the demon hunters didn't have time to do anything, but the Holy Sect made the first move.

After the 'Hunter Exclusion Decree' came out, in just a few days, there were several direct clashes between the Holy Cult Army and the Demon Hunters, and there were many incidents of bloodshed.

However, the conflict between the two sides did not expand, at least not into a full-scale war between the demon hunters and the Holy Cult.

Among them, the New Kingdom Army led by Ye Feiyin has made great contributions.

She communicated with Milo, Orison, Mars, and Dalglish on several occasions to suppress discontent within the witchers.

Now, the civil war has just ended, the evil calamity has not been dealt with, and the kingdom is in ruins, but it can no longer withstand the toss.

Suppressing the contradictions in a local area and not carrying out a full-scale conflict is what Ye Feiyin considers from the perspective of the new kingdom.

Lao Cheng holds the country, probably like this, although Ye Feiyin's age is actually not too big.

But sometimes, there is such a thing as contradiction, which is not suppressed just for suppression.

……

In the lower district, block 17, a storm is brewing.

At the heart of this storm is Erin, the 'Rose of Fire'.

Erin was demoted to Block 17 as the branch president because of a mistake. And this time, she and Judith also brought a team to the seventeenth block to deal with the Demon Gate here.

Although it was degraded, Erin had been in the seventeenth block for several years after all, and she had some feelings for it, and she had to see if her tavern was still there.

It didn't take much effort to close the Demon Gate, after all, although there was a large Demon Gate here in the seventeenth block, an elemental-level lord demon had only recently appeared, and it was quickly eliminated under the joint efforts of her and Judith.

However, just as they were about to evacuate, they ran into the Holy Army.
