Chapter 372: Turning the Face
According to the custom of the Vrotikol civilization, the Sutan Emperor was elected from the many golden caliphs, and as the supreme ruler of the empire, in addition to his own territory and resources, he also had access to the Sudan's exclusive galaxy and strategic resource reserves!
All caliphs, regardless of their rank, have to pay a sufficient amount of taxes to the Holy Land Minga Star Field every year, and with the characteristics of this religious civilization, there will never be a shortage of fanatics who donate a lot of money and materials to the Holy Land!
Over the years, the priests who held the priesthood in the Holy Land had a huge amount of wealth and territory in their hands, even more so than most of the Golden Caliphs!
Thirty percent of these possessions and territories will be used for the maintenance of holy sites, the training of new priests, the dissemination of doctrine, and the provision of daily necessities for pilgrims. The rest is all used as exclusive territory and public resource reserves, and only Emperor Sudan is qualified to use and dispose of them!
This is also stipulated in the Code of the Church of God, and expressly approved by the first prophet of the Holy Throne! Successive high priests and golden caliphs have pursued an unerring policy!
And since the annual inventory of assets is held in the temple, under the watchful eye of the will of the great Lord, no one dares to do such a foolish thing as enriching his own pockets.
Up to now, the exclusive territory of Emperor Sudan under the control of the high priests of the Holy Land has as many as forty-five large galaxies, and they are all rich in resources!
As for the amount of various strategic resource reserves, it is enough for the entire Vrotikol civilization to launch a full-scale war for fifteen years!
Such a huge and lucrative interest is now completely at the disposal of the Sultan Emperor Radamantis alone! It means that he has become the most powerful golden caliph in the entire empire!
Not to mention once the all-out jihad begins. All believers who go to war must pay one-twentieth of their entire wealth! This is also an extremely staggering number, even much more than the exclusive strategic resource reserve possessed by Emperor Su Dan!
With abundant resources and territory. You can create more and more powerful legions, and further consolidate and strengthen your authority and position!
Therefore, once the successive Sutan Emperors ascended the throne. After rectifying the internal ruling order, choosing to launch a foreign holy war is an inevitable move! Because only in this way will Emperor Sudan's power expand rapidly and his foundation will be more stable!
The caliphs understood why, but they could not oppose it, because it was one of the basic rights that the Great Lord had given to Emperor Sudan!
However, as soon as Radamantis ascended the throne, he broke the rules of the past and directly announced that he would double the amount of contributions from the believers, which made it difficult for the Golden Caliphs to tolerate!
Seeing the golden caliph of the enlightened reform faction who questioned it, Radamantis's face sank slightly. Said indifferently:
"Honorable His Royal Highness Utis, the reason why this emperor has made such a request is because the situation facing the empire today is not better than it was a thousand years ago, on the contrary, it is becoming more and more unfavorable!"
"Although we defeated the Star Abyss Alliance, due to the unexpected fall of the previous Emperor Sudan, which led to endless civil strife in the empire, the remnants of human civilization were able to survive and resume development! Now it has regained the strength to impact the status of a super civilization! ”
"It must be admitted. The human race is recovering and developing much faster than we do! Therefore, we must be more fully prepared for the all-out holy war that is about to begin, so that we can achieve the final victory! Wipe out the dangerous intelligent race of humanity once and for all! ”
Udis said in a deep voice: "Having said that, Your Majesty, you have enough financial and material resources. It was enough to cover the expenses of the pre-jihad. If military spending is really tight, we can convene another Great Caliphate in the Holy Land to discuss apportionment! Didn't we all do this before? ”
"It was before, and now it is now!"
Radamantis said coldly, "This emperor follows the will of the Great Holy Lord. Be sure to sweep away all the enemies of the empire and spread the glory of the Divine Cult to every corner of the Star Sea World! So. This command is very necessary! ”
Gesar said calmly, "Your Majesty, many of the teachings of the Divine Sect have been passed down for a long time. And if it is changed rashly, not only will it be difficult for countless believers to accept, but even the great Lord will probably not approve it, are you sure you want to do so? ”
Udes said lukewarmly: "You are in a hurry to seize power just after you ascended the throne, and your appearance is too ugly!" ”
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became solemn, and there was a faint blood-colored light and shadow flashing in the air, and the area where Emperor Su Dan was located, the space suddenly appeared slightly distorted.
The newly promoted Golden Caliphs after the Millennium War didn't feel anything, but the old Golden Caliphs, including the high-ranking priests around them, changed their faces slightly.
The stubbornly conservative Samoki sneered: "Your Highness Utis, Your Majesty's proposal is not out of selfishness, but for the benefit of the entire empire!" Are you determined to disobey Your Majesty's orders? ”
Udes sneered: "Then it also depends on whether Your Majesty can lead everyone to unify the entire Star Sea World!" I hope you can be worthy of your position! We ......"
Before he finished his words, he saw the Crescent Moon Throne glowing in midair, and the dazzling blood-colored brilliance rolled out, and a terrifying killing intent filled the entire hall!
A nine-fold transparent dark green energy light curtain appeared inside and outside, wrapping the Crescent Moon Throne inside, and then countless blood mist on the dome of the main hall quickly generated and gathered, and soon condensed into an incomparably thick blood-colored light cloud, and the cold and biting chill of the forest made even these powerful golden caliphs change their faces one after another!
Utis suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately slapped the green crescent moon throne under him, and a triple transparent light green energy light curtain appeared inside and out, enveloping his entire body inside! Then a thick dark blue scepter appeared in his hand, and golden stars began to flicker rapidly.
"Very fast reaction speed, unfortunately, it's too late!"
Radamantis smirked, and with a wave of his big hand, a blood-colored lightning bolt that was more than ten meters thick and had countless golden runes looming on it tore through the space and smashed down on the crescent moon throne where Utis was!
The lethality of lightning was extremely amazing, the triple energy shield was instantly shattered as easily as an egg under a sledgehammer, and the remaining lightning continuously shattered several layers of energy protection on Utis's body, directly hitting his body!
Only a scream was heard, and the entire green crescent throne was shattered, and Utis's body fell weakly from mid-air, slamming heavily on the smooth golden floor tiles, and crimson blood splattered out.
