0027 Hit or fall?
Only taking the outer wall of the Dragon Soul Sacred Domain was required to surrender, which was unheard of in the history of the Holy Blade Continent's conquest, but when the opponent came with the deterrent power to kill the Dark Emperor, when he killed the only oracle of the Dragon Soul Sacred Domain with a single sword, when they took the Dragon Fortress without anyone dying, this request became less unreasonable.

After a while, Teresa brought the cardinal of the Dragon Soul Sanctuary, and Cen Mu finally saved some face for the upper echelons of the Dragon Soul Sanctuary, and found a private house everywhere to control the surrounding area and create a private space.
"Alright, make your request! A strong man from the Federation. The cardinal forced his composure and was the first to speak.
Cen Mu ignored the psychological tricks he played, and said straightforwardly: "First, you must publicly recognize the status of the Xingtian Sacred Domain, recognize the orthodox inheritance of the Xingtian Sacred Domain, and declare that the Dragon Soul Sacred Domain is attached to the Xingtian Sacred Domain. ā
Cen Mu was not in a hurry to throw out all the conditions one by one, and after saying one, he stopped and quietly waited for the other party's reaction.
"Okay." This request was expected by the cardinal, and the attackers were eager to gain the approval of the orthodox forces of the Church, and once the Dragon Soul Sanctuary issued a statement, it would undoubtedly weaken the resistance against the new Sanctuary once again.
"Second, all Sanctuary Guardians must surrender and become my prisoners......"
The cardinal interrupted him: "And what is your Excellency going to do with these captives?" Do they have a chance to live? ā
"They will be broken up by me, reorganized into other armies, and serve me for at least three years before they can be freed."
The cardinal looked at Cen Mu, trying to find any signs of something wrong from his expression, and the two looked at each other for dozens of seconds, and finally the cardinal took the initiative to look away.
"Yes." The cardinal should make the second condition.
"Third, open the warehouse of the Holy Domain, and I will dispose of those items."
It is also an expected request, in fact, as early as when preparing for the war, the warehouse of the Dragon Soul Sanctuary has been cleaned once, and valuable things have been left, but the most precious things have been hidden, whether they can be used in the future or not, they are all some bargaining chips.
The cardinal should come down.
"Fourth, I will promulgate a complete legal system, and establish a judicial and administrative department to implement the rule of law, which will inevitably conflict with divine power, and the Dragon Soul Holy See, as the highest authority in the Holy Domain, must cooperate with the work of these departments."
The cardinal was stunned and subconsciously asked, "...... Or a bishop? ā
"Yes!" Cen Mu nodded: "As long as you cooperate, I don't plan to change people, in fact, the former Bishop of Luke City, Mr. Randolph, has had a very happy life in our system, he has found the home of his heart, and is currently the patriarch of the Xingtian Sanctuary, I heard that you are his friend, why don't you make the same choice as your old friend?" ā
The cardinal bowed his head and said: "I can promise you, but you must also know that when His Majesty the Pope was alive, he tried to reform the system of the Holy Blade Church, from top to bottom, to eliminate the evils, it took several years with little effect, and I do not guarantee that some of your strategies will be fully implemented." ā
Cen Mu smiled: "It's not your fault, there is a problem in the implementation, it is our problem, but you have to prove that you did your best, otherwise, I will replace someone who cooperates to do this." ā
The cardinal bowed slightly, and asked, "Anything else?" ā
Cen Mu shook his head.
The cardinal was shocked again, and even Teresa had a strange expression, and they had a common question in their hearts: "Are you...... Not going to be a pope? ā
Cen Mu smiled: "I'm not interested in that position. ā
"Then what are you doing attacking the Church of the Holy Blade?" In the cardinal's view, a war that is not aimed at power and wealth is a hooligan and meaningless.
Cen Mu didn't bother to explain the reason to him, there was a gap in thinking between the two, the biggest drawback of the Holy Edge Church was that the divine power was too centralized, poured into the hands of a small number of people, so the Pope's self-cleaning action was doomed to fail, and Cen Mu would use the federal system to tell them what to do.
Cen Mu said: "Since you have agreed to these conditions, then go for it!" I still have a lot to deal with! ā
The cardinal replied: "Well, I will follow your wishes. I'd love to talk to Randolph if I have the chance. ā
"Of course, it's your freedom." After a pause, Cen Mu said: "The surrender is announced first, our soldiers will start collecting all the prisoners, and then, you have to take us to the church's warehouse, you have fifteen minutes to arrange these things. ā
With that, Cen Mu turned around and left.
A few key figures in the Dragon Soul Sanctuary haven't been able to react yet, and the opponent's control over his gang seems to be too lax, right?! Is it overconfidence? Still not professional enough? Aren't they afraid to make their own plans?
Someone made a throat-slitting motion.
The cardinal shook his head: "Do your part, recognize yourself, don't think too much, so that you can live a long time." ā
Outside the door, Cen Mu curled the corners of his mouth slightly, these people didn't understand the technology of the Federation, but they didn't know that they were already under strict surveillance.
After a round of exchanges, Teresa was undoubtedly very lost, she was still marginalized, thought about it, stamped her foot, and followed.
"What about me? How do you arrange for me? Teresa caught up with Cen Mu and asked.
"You...... Idle? ā
Teresa gave him a resentful look and said, "I have studied the decrees you issued, and at first glance they seem very idealistic and unrealistic, but they are very specific and concrete
In fact, the possibility of semi-democratization through a top-down approach has long been argued, and the conclusion is negative. Because, in the new era, the power of individuals is too unbalanced, which is a fundamental contradiction, and the strong will not talk about democracy with the weak. ā
Cen Mu stopped, there are also people in the Holy Peak Continent who study these things, which are undoubtedly very rare in a theocratic society.
"Later, I studied the federal society and found a phenomenon in which their strong people are undoubtedly more qualified and intelligent, they rule the world in a more civilized way, they only give something superficial, they win respect, they win stability, it is a kind of pseudo-democracy, however, it works very well.
Now that you have brought this set of things to the Holy Edge Continent, I am very relieved and happy, so, can I do something for you? ā
"The ideological consciousness is very high! Since this is ......" Cen Mu pondered for a long time and said: "Second Senior Brother, this friend has a high ideological consciousness and has the consciousness of moving closer to us, then, her review and assessment tasks will be handed over to you, whether she can become a member of the Xingtian Corps or not, it is in your thoughts." ā
Lu Minghui subconsciously said: "It's me again?" I'm not a babysitter! ā
Zhao Shaoyun said with a smile: "Minghui, don't be unwilling, if I hadn't entered the city, I would have to fight with you for this job!" ā
Wen Yuxiang sighed: "Sure enough, you are Xiao Mu's own brother, and he was the first to think of you." ā
Ling Ding took the opportunity to say, "Yes! Second Senior Brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't waste resources, and end up cheapening someone. ā
Lu Minghui scratched his head and smiled.
Under the personal guidance of the cardinal, Cen Mu and his party entered the church warehouse of the Dragon Soul Sanctuary.
In an instant, mountains of Saint Blade gold coins and boxes of gems emitting a rich holy light fascinated people's eyes.
In the face of great wealth, it is difficult for people to maintain a normal heart.
Zhao Shaoyun said with emotion: "No wonder there have been wars since ancient times, and plundering is really the fastest way to get rich." ā
Cen Mu casually picked up a long sword on the weapon rack, the sword body was covered with fine threads, the blade was bright and sharp, and at a glance along the sword blade, it was as smooth as a mirror, not ordinary, Cen Mu's eyes involuntarily fell on the end of the hilt, and sure enough, he saw a few lines of small seals.
Is it the Yun family's boutique, or is it an enchanted equipment that is infiltrated with holy light and has multiple divine skills attached, if this sword is to be sold to the Federation, it will definitely be fried to a sky-high price, with so many pure divine crystals, Qin Yuan can't look down on the divinity on the enchanted equipment.
In order to ensure profits, it is also necessary to control the amount of placement, but this is a business thing.
"Brother Shaoyun, I'll leave these things to you, and find a way to move back to Bounty Town."
"Hmmm! Leave it to me! ā
Then, Cen Mu turned his gaze to the cardinal and asked, "Your Excellency, there are indeed a lot of items in this warehouse, but the variety seems to be a bit monotonous, can you explain why?" ā
Seeing Cen Mu's scorching gaze, the cardinal was drenched in a cold sweat.
ā¦ā¦
Taking down the Dragon Soul Sacred Domain without bloodshed was another great encouragement for the Xingtian Corps, and when this news reached Bounty Town, it made people cheer and become more and more optimistic about the future of the Xingtian Sanctuary.
Cen Mu did not take strong measures to control the flow of news, and soon, the news of the fall of the Dragon Soul Sacred Domain spread, and at this time, the Xuanwu Sacred Domain was standing in front of the station to order troops, and after receiving this news, morale fell to the bottom.
For a while, the decision-making level of the Xuanwu Sanctuary fell into two completely different disputes, fight, or surrender? This is a problem.
