Chapter 185: There Is No Savior

Why resist?

For ordinary people, this question is not worth considering, and for some "feudal remnants", rebellion against the Star Empire is a matter of their future existence.

When all the work was well prepared and Shen Sen was preparing to carry out the education and literacy work at the grassroots level, the public servants who went there encountered obstruction and trouble.

A large number of people gathered to make a disturbance, and even psykers and militants lurking in the crowd attempted to attack the staff and wanted to cause even more chaos and lead the people to storm the premises of the official office.

Most of these troublemakers were fanatical followers or clergy of the churches of the gods.

The main reason why they made trouble was that the Star Empire's judgment of the gods in the fantasy world identified the other party as evil gods, so many god churches naturally became illegal organizations.

Judging from the available information and evidence, those gods may not be a good thing, and there is a very high possibility that they are related to subspace.

Moreover, creatures that believe in these gods have a scary high probability of corruption during the last invasion of the demon army.

In order to prevent corruption and other messy things from happening, Shen Sen made a very big determination and decided to force, even if it was to use the army, to eradicate the churches and grassroots organizations of many gods in the fantasy world.

In addition, considering that the belief in the gods has become a part of the people's lives in the fantasy world, a one-time ban that leaves no room for no room may encounter many adverse effects in the process, affecting people's lives and social stability.

Therefore, on the one hand, in order to reduce the influence and consolidate the rule, and on the other hand, in order to experiment with the role and effect of psionic protection, the Star Empire is considering whether to launch such a benign church with the Truth Society as the skeleton.

The truth of the Blue Star and the Wasteland will be renamed, and the doctrine of the people's belief in the fantasy world will be replaced with the modern scientific cooking concept, as for replacing the eight gods, the main body of the people's belief is naturally the leader of the Star Empire - Shen Sen.

In fact, to a certain extent, in the eyes of all the masses of the original Star Empire, Shen Sen has become a symbol of the future Datong society and a representative of fairness and justice.

And Shen Sen, who knew that within the Imperial Public Service Organization of his ability, had opened multiple doors of time and space, and had an extraordinary body and will, he had already surpassed ordinary leaders and become the existence of a great man in the world.

At the same time, he also has the ability of psionic protection, and choosing him can also make the people of the empire strengthen their sense of identity and strengthen their centripetal force.

When the time is ripe later, it will be easy for the truth to replace the church, and it will become natural to take Shen Sen as the subject of faith back and forth.

The Truth Committee put their proposal on Shen Sen's table, and when he asked for instructions, Shen Sen didn't feel awkward, and after careful consideration, he still chose to agree.

In his eyes, as long as the policy is based on reality, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it can have a significant effect, and it can be printed on the dark coin.

After all, it was only a temporary measure, and the reason why the belief in gods became a part of life in the fantasy world was mainly due to the fact that the previous masses were not educated in modern science, and the society during the period of imperial rule was full of oppression and darkness.

The people at the bottom who were ruled by the aristocracy did not have any power to resist, and under the mixture of helplessness and despair, they often pursued self-deception, and the gods naturally became one of their choices, so the feudal society could give birth to extremely fanatical beliefs.

They need a spiritual pillar, a hope for the future, so that they can continue to survive in this dark society, so they will pin their hopes on the ethereal gods.

If the society will become better and better in the future, the people's living standards will be higher and higher. At the same time, with the popularization of higher education and the further removal of the soil for the survival of the church by the ruling organizations, it is natural that the people will no longer believe in the so-called God in the future.

However, no matter how perfect and ideal the plan is, the reality is always unreasonable and unreasonable.

Although Shen Sen is willing to become a virtual god, the church organization in the fantasy world is not willing to disturb their gods and fall into the quagmire.

During the period of the formation of grassroots educational organizations and the banning of illegal churches, there were riots and bloodshed in various parts of the empire's borders, and there were even others who sacrificed blood to the gods of war and death.

In particular, the Crimson Skull Church, which is dominated by the god of war and death, has generally made up some well-trained outlaws and clergy, and even has a large number of church psionics.

I don't know if it's because of the residual influence of the corruption of the subspace, the combat effectiveness and madness of these people have risen to a higher level, and they really caught off guard at the beginning of the official business that went deep into the grassroots.

And this time, Shen Sen didn't have the slightest mercy, he replaced the civil servants with the Vanguard Mecha Legion, and arrested all the fanatical believers and clergy of the God of War and Death in the Imperial State, totaling more than 13,000 people.

Just when the other churches watched coldly and sat to see how Shen Sen would deal with it, a military order to kill without mercy was worn to the person in charge.

Under the watchful eye, the Citizens Court of the Star Empire held a public trial of these people, and sent them all to the shooting range for anti-social crimes, one bullet per person, and the electromagnetic bullet passed through the skull without the slightest waste.

In troubled times, Shen Sen, who has become a qualified leader, will never treat these sinners as human beings for the evil churches that dare to challenge the stable order and incite the ignorant masses to make trouble, and even the psionic people who may be affected by the corruption of the subspace.

During this period of military control, the stars will destroy all the dross of the old empire, quickly cut through the chaos, and sweep away all uneasiness.

Anyone who stands in the way of this goal and rule is the object that needs to be exterminated with all his might.

So the next action of the mecha legion did not end, but became more and more frequent.

In view of the fact that there may be other corrupted creatures in the subspace within the empire, hidden among the masses, ready to create killing and sacrificing gods at any time, Shen Sen will not allow it to appear again.

An unknown village in the southern part of the empire, next to the city of Feried.

In a mix of medieval and modern towns, Imperial citizens in nylon denim overalls come and go, their faces are more vibrant and energetic than ever, and they can see the future and hope in the pupils of their eyes.

If you listen closely, you can hear them discussing with each other about the kanji they have learned today, the remuneration for their work today, and their plans to add a few new things to their home in the future.

For the literacy learning of Chinese characters and general knowledge, the masses who have never had the opportunity to receive education are very hungry.

Because as long as they learn Chinese characters, their work will be paid in half. And every morning, their study time will be included in the work assessment, and those who study seriously will be paid a full day, while those who fail to study will only be paid half a day.

Especially after seeing that there were already people around him who had lived a rich life with meat and food by virtue of training and study, the people of the empire became more enthusiastic about learning Chinese.

At this moment, a group of heavily armed soldiers wearing black and gray combat uniforms and gold-red epaulettes approached from a distance, and the people on the road subconsciously moved out of the way.

Everyone looked at this extraordinary force with awe and respect, and there was a look of envy and longing in their eyes.

The outfit represents the power of their new ruler, as well as the staggering treatment and benefits.

The new ruler, the Star Empire, recruits troops from all over the territory, whether human or subhuman, as long as they meet the conditions, they can become a member of the Empire's armed forces.

In the past, becoming a soldier in the old empire meant that you encountered the worst thing, whether you wanted it or not, you could only accept it obediently, and you couldn't refuse.

If you want to survive longer on the battlefield, it's best to buy your own swords and armor, and if you have money, buy a skinny horse.

And once you go to the battlefield, you can only pray that you are safe, because regardless of the dead or wounded, it is okay to win, and you can still have that little reward, if you lose, there is no one to collect the body.

So it used to be a very scary and terrible thing to be a soldier in the old empire, and it was even worse news for a family.

But when they learned that the Star Empire was voluntarily obeying the propaganda of military service, they were surprised at first, but then they almost drooled with envy.

Compared with their salaries, after becoming an ordinary soldier in the Stars Empire, his salary is eight times that of himself, he doesn't need money to eat, drink, and Lazar, and he has free medical treatment and education, and there are more than a dozen very generous benefits.

If there were still doubts at the beginning, but when more and more people signed up to confirm the treatment, countless villages and towns throughout the empire, eight or nine million young adults wanted to join the army and sign up for a while.

Many of these sub-human races, who had previously lived on the fringes of the empire and had no wealth or reputation, were even more active, and almost all eligible people within the clan planned to sign up.

The star soldiers are highly paid, and the strictness of the selection is naturally daunting.

However, this has made their image more majestic and noble in the hearts of the people, and some people even regard becoming a soldier of the Star Empire in their lifetime as the most important future ideal in their lives.

After this period of getting along, the people's perception of the image of the soldier in their memory has changed dramatically.

It turned out that the soldiers of the Star Empire were not as rude and arrogant as the previous soldiers, and they were high up in the eyes.

As long as you don't break the rules, then you don't have to be afraid, you don't have to be humble and flattering, and sometimes you can ask them for help when you encounter difficulties.

Since then, they have a better impression of the Star Empire, and when the soldiers are in trouble, they will also actively help and take the initiative to help expose the criminals.

In the streets, the crowd watched with friendly eyes as the soldiers walked into one of several modern buildings, a new building that had been built at the same time as their training school, as if it were some kind of Public Security Armed Forces.

It was only ten minutes later that the figure of that unit reappeared, and after coming out of the new building, it walked in the direction of the interior of the village and town.

After about twenty minutes, they stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated wooden house, and all the soldiers looked serious, and slowly raised their guns.

"Is this it?"

"According to the address information, this is the target."

"I seem to have asked about the smell of blood and rot coming from the house."

"All on alert, as soon as there is a situation, immediately open fire!"

The team leader stopped making eye contact with the vice-captain, raised his gun, and gently came to the door of the wooden house, and slapped the wooden door twice vigorously.

Syllable! Syllable!

"We are the Imperial Public Security Armed Forces, routine inspection, please open the door and cooperate!"

Two seconds later, a slightly dry, dull sound came from inside.

"Ahem, right away."

The wooden door slowly opened, and a bloated man with a leopard's head and eyes stepped inside.

When the man saw the patrol team, he sent a smile and asked, "My lord, is there something wrong?" ”

"Routine check-up, I hope you can cooperate." The patrol team leader said with a calm expression and a dignified attitude, "Please get out of the way, we need to search your room." ”

"This ......" the man suddenly became very hesitant, "My lord, I was dealing with a wild thing I caught just now, the smell is a bit strong, and there is blood everywhere, why don't you wait for me to go in and clean it up?" ”

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, let's take a look and leave, I hope you can cooperate." The captain repeated again, calmly looking at the old man in front of him, and instinctively complained that there might be something wrong in the room.

This smell is not wild!

"Search for me!"

The captain waved his hand, and took advantage of the man's inattention to give a color to the few people next to him.

Subsequently, several of the squad soldiers appeared to have received orders to forcibly break into the house and conduct a search.

However, at this moment, something happened, and the man who was still smiling just now changed his face in an instant.

"A bunch of fools who dare to challenge our lord, go and die!"

The man burst into flames, and an ice pick flew out of his hand and shot at the soldier in front of him.

"Huh"

"Bang bang bang!"

Two distinct voices rang out at the same time, followed by a man's screams before he died.

"I'm sorry, I have body armor, your magic is almost broken!"

"You ......" The man's eyes widened, as if he contained a huge unwillingness, and then tilted his head, completely lifeless.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding people also stopped and watched outside, they didn't expect that there was an evil magician hidden in their village.

"Go in and search for it."

A few minutes later, several squads of soldiers emerged from the room, several wrapped in black cloth with a pile of dripping corpse parts.

"We're late, we've already been killed......"

"Damn it!"

The team leader scolded angrily, not knowing if it was out of his own tardiness or cruelty to the cultists.

The more I watched this kind of thing, the more I felt unacceptable, and they were running around in order to completely allocate this group of tumors, and return stability to the empire and peace to the people.

The squad leader lifted his tired face and looked at the distant sky, where the night owl from the Empire had just flashed.

2k

At this moment, he remembered that when he was receiving education and training, he had silently recited a sentence from the leader of the empire: There has never been a savior in this world, and there is no need for gods, and it is up to us to create happiness.

"Hurry up and go to the next location!"
