Chapter 404: The Great Purge

Auerbach's body is missing......
Du Chen touched his nose, leaned back in the chair and looked at his clothes, looking uncertain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mars continued to dance and said: "Didn't you see the situation at that time, when everyone saw that there was no body in the coffin, Bonis was so shocked that his body slowed down by half a beat, and he was almost hit by the cannon! The boss glanced at the coffin, and his face turned green...... The craziest of all are the orcs, you know? Of the 200,000 McCarran Janissaries guarding the Grand Canyon, 1,400 committed suicide on the spot......
Mars said with foaming at the mouth, Du Chen's thoughts were no longer on him.
Why Auerbach's body disappeared is not enough to speculate on the truth, but it is enough to analyze the seriousness of this matter - first of all, there is no doubt that the orcs will go crazy and will be desperate to pursue Auerbach's corpse, thus disrupting the Pope's deployment of the entire Second War of Demons!
Secondly, who stole Auerbach's corpse? It was certainly not the Holy See, nor the demons, then it was a third party other than the two! And this third party was very likely to be very powerful, and because he stole Auerbach's corpse, he was destined to become friends with the Holy See and the orcs...... A third-party force intervenes in the war between humans and demons, which will bring infinite variables!
I am not afraid of how many difficulties there are ahead, but I am afraid that I don't know how many changes there are ahead, this is human nature! The reason why the Pope sent the Five Rings Letter to summon himself is probably to borrow Du Chenshen to deal with the future variables, right?
Du Chen was thinking about it, and Mars had already finished talking about the disappearance of Auerbach's body, and then lowered his voice, "This is the first thing, and the Pope Boss has another meaning for summoning you, the godfather of the deacon of the Dark Temple...... He wants you to assist the Holy See in the Great Purge!"
"The Great Purge?"
Mars nodded heavily, "This time Philip and Brockman ran away, there are traitors in the Holy See, and it's only the third in the plan of the demon bigwig! Then you can imagine how far the demons have infiltrated us humans! In order not to be led by the demons by the nose in future wars, we must purge the spies inside! This is the boss's exact words!"
Du Chen nodded slightly, the Pope's decision was understandable, but it was a purge...... This is a double-edged sword, if it is done well, the demon spies will be completely eliminated! If it is not done well, it will cause internal suspicion, and before the war starts, your own side will be messed up first!
Mars's face was very heavy, "The boss also said that there are too few people within the Holy See who can be trusted! You and Du Chenshen have severely damaged the demon clan's undead plan, and the demon clan's plan that has been painstakingly operated for many years is ruined, then you and the Du Chenshen Sect should be innocent, so the boss hopes that you will assist him in the great purge!" When it comes to the topic of the Great Purge, Ma Si has no longer babbling when telling stories, his eyebrows are flying, but he sighs constantly, Du Chen has never seen this reckless man depressed to this point.
"Boss Mars, how far has His Holiness purge got?"
"The clergy affiliated with the Holy See have all been tested by the Amiya Silver Needle, but only a few small fish and shrimp have been found. And the boss said that the demon spies are not necessarily purple-blooded, and the red-blooded people may also defect to the demons and betray their race, so he gave me a list, and the people on the list are definitely no problem, and the rest ...... All of them are going to be investigated!"
As he spoke, Mars handed Du Chen a note, with only five names on it—Ziggy, Mars, Francis, Bairu, and the Godfather of Shadows!
Du Chen exclaimed: "Could it be that only these five people in the Holy See are not suspected, and all the rest are ......?"
"All the rest are suspects!" Mars said heavily.
"What means does His Majesty intend to use to investigate the suspects?"
Mars shrugged his shoulders, "The Boss ordered that within the Holy See, everyone should monitor each other and report and expose each other, and everything within the time limit of the Great Purge...... The speaker is not guilty!"
Du Chen's expression changed wildly, how similar was this order to what a huge empire in his previous life did before the world war? The history of his previous life has proved that this order is digging his own grave! Du Chen asked urgently, "Everyone can investigate and adduce evidence, but what about the power of killing?"
"Oh, the full power of killing is only in the hands of the five people on the list, and the others can say and accuse as they please, but they are not allowed to kill!"
Du Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought about it again, hey, he was also on that list, didn't that mean...... Lao Tzu has the death order issued by the Pope, as long as he sees who is not pleasing to the eye, he can be killed with the banner of justice?
His Majesty the Pope is too generous this time, isn't he!?
No, the Pope won't trust me so much! Du Chen touched his nose and thought of another possibility......
Mars said suddenly: "That's all for the situation, you go and discuss the specific things with the boss!"
Du Chen asked about the situation of the deboning of them again, when Du Chen disappeared, Du Chen, the god of Du Chen, had no one to help him, and it was difficult to hide it, so he hid it with the help of the two old grandmothers, and only said that Du Chenshen was worried about Francis and had chased down the abyss. And all the other things after that, they were all done by boning and stiffening who was not good at this, but he performed very well!
Du Chen is very satisfied!
The Holy See's Rapid Flying Beast lived up to its name, faster than Du Chen's Wurm, and it only took a day and a half to fly over the Grand Canyon of Auerbach.
The Grand Canyon, which used to be sacred and solemn, is now dilapidated and lonely, full of ruined scenes after the war, and even the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon have collapsed a lot, and the camp of the Pope and others is stationed in the place where the memorial is held.
Du Chen landed in front of the camp gate, looked around, and suddenly found a strange thing, "Mars, where is the banner of the Beast Emperor and St. Patton, why are there so few orcs?"
"The orc army has gone deep into the labyrinth of life, defending against demons, and at the same time looking for Auerbach's corpse!" Before Mars could answer, the Pope strode out of the tent, nodded slightly at Du Chen, and said lightly: "God's darling, you have called me easy to find recently!"
Du Chen smiled slightly, stepped forward to salute, and said in a mysterious voice: "Your Majesty, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
The Pope's eyelashes twitched, and he smiled calmly: "Let's talk about the good news first, I've heard too much bad news recently......" As he spoke, he sat on the golden chair.
Du Chen smiled: "The good news is that the underground abyss, the lair of the demon clan, is being attacked fiercely at this moment, and their opponent is extremely terrifying, I'm afraid that Bonis will have to draw all the undead legions to resist it...... Demons, there is no time to deal with us humans for the time being!"
The armrest of the chair was crushed by the Pope, and he smiled slightly, dusting off the crumbs, and the Pope chuckled: "Francis, I don't know what to reward you! This is really good news!"
Du Chen pursed his lips and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet...... From the sinking of Lance Island until sixteen years ago, I brought back all the movements and most of the secrets of the demons to you!"
The Pope's pupils contracted sharply, but his face remained calm and inactive, "Very good, very good! God's darling, tell the bad news!"
"The bad news is...... Red Army!"
At that moment, Du Chen told his experience in the City of Punishment, but he made three changes, one was that the Brockman family did not return to the world, but was used by Du Chen and dumped off, and died in the mouth of the Huhu beast. The second place is that the little Duding, the tree of life, does not exist at all, and the reason why Du Chen was able to escape in the end was because Du Chen God found him...... The third change is that Julie did not reveal her identity, and she was weathered into ashes on the spot after she was rescued.
After saying that, Du Chen sent Julie's ashes, as well as a large amount of demon information from the Brockman family!
The Pope listened quietly, looked at the things in front of him and said slowly: "Mars, divide the ashes into three parts, one part will be enshrined in the temple, the other part will be sent for research, and the last part will be given to Sect Master Brooke!
After Mars left, the Pope looked at Du Chen, "The living representatives of the gods have two questions to confirm, first, will the Huhu beast be used by the demons to deal with us humans in turn?"
Du Chen replied: "There is absolutely no possibility, when I said that I had already thought carefully before I let the Huhu Beast go to the underground abyss - the main force of the demon race is the undead army obtained from the undead side of the tree of life, and the Huhu beast is the life side of the tree of life, they have absolutely no possibility of coexistence and cooperation, and it can even be said that it is a natural enemy! If the demon clan wants to use the Huhu beast, unless it gives up the undead army!"
The Pope nodded, "Well, don't publicize the Huhu Beast for the time being, you know, only humans can burst out with extraordinary courage in times of crisis, if they know about the Huhu Beast...... Hehe, the second question, is the Red Army really as strong as you describe?"
"It's true!"
The Pope was silent for a long time, then slowly got up, "I know everything, Francis, you have made great contributions to mankind this time, and I will engrave your credit on the spectrum of gods and demons!"
What is it?
Du Chen was puzzled, the Pope led him into the inner room of the tent, seeing the situation in front of him, Du Chen only felt that his eyes lit up, this room was golden and bright, the walls were full of military maps, and in the center, there was also a tall stone tablet, pointing to the stone tablet, the Pope said: "In the past years of the Great War of the Fallen Gods, the God Emperor Prince recorded the exploits of the gods on the stone tablet, I follow the example of the God Emperor, and will make future generations remember your achievements with the inscription!"
Du Chen looked at the two-person tall stone tablet, and saw that there were already many names on it, and the first line was ...... Hawkins: Second in line to the throne of the House of St. Patton, leader of the Red-Clad Guard, died in battle at the Grand Canyon of Auerbach on August 31, 1280......
Hawkins is still dead after all!
Alas, Du Chen's mind recalled the situation when the military was discussed, and the orc man patted his chest and promised in a deep voice, "Leave the matter of death to me, the Supreme Father God rest assured!"
......
The sound of the Pope tapping the map brought Du Chen back to reality, and Sama IX pointed to the map of the three continents and said: "Francis, the situation has already been told to you, and I will stop talking nonsense! Now accept the task!"
Du Chen stepped forward and bowed to listen!
The Pope pointed to the sea south of Einz on the map, "The Second Great War between Man and Demon has begun, and after you disappeared for three days, the monarchs of various countries have accepted the Holy See's proposal to form a holy alliance again! and are willing to follow me with all their strength to fight against the demons! I divide the Eins Continent and the Yaqin Continent into seventeen war zones based on the borders of each country, and each powerful country and its affiliated countries are responsible for a war zone, and the task of each war zone is to prepare for war, and search for whether there is a demon race in the war zone under its jurisdiction, and at the same time ...... A great purge of your own country!"
God, has the entire human world begun a great purge?
Don't cause civil strife!
Du Chen looked at the map, and suddenly found that his Durks City and a large area of sea on the opposite side were not in the Lanning War Zone, and he couldn't help but look at the Pope suspiciously.
What do you old boy want to do? Isn't it clear that Balgener wants to clean me up by taking my territory out of Lanning and dividing it in substance?
The Pope smiled and said, "Durks City is listed as the 18th War Zone, and you are in command! Francis, you have a heavy responsibility!" Looking at Du Chen with a smile, the Pope seemed to be saying, yes, this situation is what I deliberately posed, damn, don't you know it? You gathered an army of 30,000 orcs, and handed it over to the god general Dude, this kind of strength has caused my Pope to be jealous, so I want to 'knock and beat' you. Other than that...... Hehe, the worse your relationship with Lan Ning, the better I can control you...... Power tricks, power tricks!
The Pope's little trick Du Chen was clear, but what else could he say? The Pope's words 'for the great cause of fighting demons for mankind' made Du Chen laugh honestly: "I understand, Your Majesty, you are really well-intentioned!"
Sama IX didn't seem to hear Du Chen's salty and indifferent cynicism, but lightly traced his finger to the ocean on the map and continued: "During the Great War of the Fallen Gods, there was not much conflict between the Sea Clan and the Demon Clan, and this time, the Sea Emperor was not interested in resisting the Demon Clan......
This is understandable, the demon tribe counterattacked the human race in order to obtain the right to live in the sun, and their goal is one -- territory! Since it is the territory of the 'soil', then what is the 'sea' clan's? At the same time, the sea clan has no interest in the land, and everyone has no fundamental conflict of interest at all, so the huge sea clan is under the leadership of Sainz...... Just watch the excitement!
The Pope continued: "But the Demon Clan's lifegate is everywhere, and if the Sea Emperor does not cooperate with us, it will be difficult for us to block the Demon Race's lifegate in the ocean...... Therefore, your 18th War Zone is still shouldering the heavy responsibility of dealing with this line of sea clans!"
Du Chen glanced at the area demarcated by the Pope, which was probably a triangle composed of Durks City, all the way to Jinsha Jiao of the Firmament Continent, and the very center of the Great Triangle!
There is nothing difficult about this task, the little prince of the Great Triangle Sea Gotha is a member of the Duchen God Sect!
Du Chen pursed his lips and didn't take this task to heart.
"That's all there is to prepare for war and diplomacy, and here's the matter of the Great Purge!" the Pope took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Du Chen, "You secretly visit, as long as there are clues, you can use this gold medal to kill the suspect immediately!"
In other words, if you kill casually, if something happens, my Pope will take it in his pocket!" Du Chen smiled, "Your Majesty, what if the suspect is the king of a country, or has a huge power?"
"The monarch of a small country with a military strength of less than 200,000 is at your disposal, and the monarch of a strong country is ...... Leave it to me!" a murderous look flashed in the Pope's eyes!
Du Chen chuckled in his heart! The one he thought of on the road might have become determined......
......
The Pope smiled, his face returning to flatness, "These are long-term plans, you don't need to rush, but there are two things you need to do now!"
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
"First, King Lanning was very unhappy with the fact that I had turned your reading power into the Eighteenth War Zone, and even in the name of exploring the Gate of Destiny, he pulled out part of Angels' army and went south to your border......! You take a look here!"
Du Chen looked at the giant island in the center of the map and said: "It's Borg Island, it is known as the center of the four seas, it was originally the fief of the goddess of war and wisdom, and there was once a country called 'Mickey Principality', but I heard that a few years ago, because of the abundance of diamonds, this place has been occupied by the Sea Clan......!
Speaking of this Borg Island, Du Chen knew that his reason was because of Annie, because three hundred nautical miles away from Bog Island was Annie's home, the Emerald City!
However, as the shadows of all the women were replaced by a soft and poignant figure, Du Chen gradually forgot about the island and Anne......
What does the Pope do now when he mentions the island of Borg?
The Pope pointed to the island of Borg and said: "Five years ago, the army of the Sea Emperor occupied the island of Borg and destroyed the Principality of Mickey, but for my sake, he did not return to the Goddess Palace of the Principality of Mickey, but only smashed the giant statue of the Goddess Mickey, and kept the temple of worship, and did not desecrate the body of the Goddess of Wisdom and War......"
Du Chen's heart moved faintly, "Could it be that Auerbach's corpse ......?"
The Pope nodded, "Half a month ago, the Goddess Palace was destroyed in a fire, and I sent a letter to condemn the Sea Emperor out of the dignity of the Holy See, but the Sea Emperor Sainz replied to me very hard, No, it's in the drawer, you can see for yourself!"
Du Chen took out the letter, opened it and looked at it, and the first sentence made him laugh dumbly.
The Sea Emperor said, "The fire in the Goddess Palace does not matter to me?" Sama, I didn't destroy the Goddess Palace five years ago, and I have given you enough face for the Holy Sect, what do you want? Tell you, I am also holding my breath, on the day of the fire, all the guards I stationed in the Goddess Palace were missing, and there was a big riot on Bog Island, most of my slaves ran away, and a large number of important things were lost......
Du Chen was laughing, and suddenly his heart trembled, in terms of time, half a month ago, the Great Riot on Bog Island, the Sea Emperor's slaves and treasures suffered huge losses...... Five days ago, he met the Sea Emperor who was in the midst of a massacre, chasing treasures, and rescued Fack!
Could it be that Falk is a slave of the Goddess Palace, a remnant of the Principality of Mickey!?
Du Chen continued to read, and the following content shocked him even more, and the Sea Emperor said, "Sama, tell you bad news, after the fire, I tidied up the Goddess Palace, and it turned out that the body of Goddess Miqi was missing, I suspect that those slaves stole the body, this matter is hello to you, you pay attention to me, don't say that I am blasphemous!
Du Chen looked at the Pope in astonishment.
"Francis, you should understand...... Yes, after Auerbach's corpse disappeared, Goddess Mick's corpse also disappeared, these two things are not unusual in my opinion! Now that Auerbach's corpse has been completely blocked, and the orcs who know about it have entered the labyrinth of life, I want to ask Du Chenshen to secretly investigate this matter!"
Du Chen replied: "My god will definitely agree!"
"Okay, you go to inspect the Auerbach Grand Canyon with Du Chenshen first, and then find your own excuse to go to Borg Island! The gold medal is already in your hands, you can make your own decision, I only have one request-try not to anger the Sea Emperor!" the Pope waved his hand, and Du Chen retreated!
As soon as he walked out of the tent, Du Chen saw the two of them head-on, and couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Teacher, why are you here? Godfather Ferdinand, it's been a long time!"
It was Ferdinand and Zieg, who came, and the purple-eyed Ferdinand smiled, "Your Excellency Godfather, as the godfather of the diocese of Eins, how can I not come! On August 31, you and Dean Ziggy arrived in the early morning of September 1st, when you fought against Bonis!" He briefly introduced his situation, and did not ask too much, but gave up the place to the reunited master and apprentice.
Zig originally had a solemn face, thinking about dealing with the demons in his heart, but when he saw Du Chen's triangular eyes, he immediately narrowed, and his face sank like water, "Francis, yes!
......
