Chapter 184: Formation

For the disturbances from the outside world, Duanmu Huai does not care. While the reputation of the Inquisition spread throughout the continent, he also began to build similar Inquisition organizations in various places.

Duanmu Huai's first tribunal organization was not built in Skyrim Province, but in Falling Hammer.

The reason is also very simple, when the empire signed the platinum treaty with the elves, the content included the transfer of most of the hammer territory to the sovereignty of the elves. The inhabitants of Falling Hammer Province will naturally not give up on this, and this has to start with the war between the elves and the empire.

According to historical records, in the war between the elves and the empire at that time, the elves have always had the upper hand, and even occupied the imperial royal city, and killed and plundered it. After that, the elves have been looking for the king of the empire and trying to negotiate with him, and the king at that time on the one hand misled the elves into believing that he did mean to surrender, and on the other hand, he also secretly gathered troops and rushed to the royal city in three ways while the elves were careless.

In the end, the humans succeeded in retaking the capital of the Empire, but in this war, the Empire also suffered heavy losses, a total of three legions were completely destroyed, and the rest were exhausted remnants. With this victory, the king and the elves signed the Platinum Treaty, ending the war between humans and elves.

Of course, this approach is not incomprehensible, although the royal city has been recaptured, the empire has also been seriously damaged, and there is no way to continue the war with the elves. With the help of this victory, the signing of a peace treaty with the elves is also understandable from a political point of view.

But the people of Hammer Province obviously didn't buy it, they thought that the empire should not raise its hands and surrender after retaking the royal city, but should take advantage of the victory and chase after the victory, and drive these long-eared crumbs directly into the sea.

You know, the Falling Hammer saved so many people, but it wasn't for the sake of ceding his land to those elven mongrels!

In fact, because of this, even if the Empire signed a platinum treaty with the elves, the rebellion against the elves in the Falling Hammer Province was in full swing, and the Falling Hammer Province turned a deaf ear to the Empire's order to call for a truce with the elves. They have made up their minds to take back their land from those elves, even if everyone dies!

Because of this, the current province of Falling Hammer is actually equivalent to semi-detached from the empire.

In this case, the appearance of the Inquisition naturally greatly cheered up the people of Falling Hammer Province, and considering the hatred of Elves in Falling Hammer Province, Duanmu Huai set up the first Inquisition stronghold in a mountain range in Falling Hammer Province.

As for the operation of this stronghold, Duanmu Huai was completely handed over to the Night Guard, after all, the Night Guard originally did a similar job in the Yajin Society. Cultivating warriors and all that is their old business.

In addition to this, there are the holy texts of the Inquisition.

In Xinghai OL, there is a setting that is very contradictory.

According to the original setting, the Inquisition represents the empire and the emperor, and each inquisitor must fight in the name of the emperor.

But in fact, as the inquisitors of the player, they are not interested in the emperor, and there are even many inquisitors who regard them as heretics or even spies who have penetrated into the human race, and they believe that the emperor is not the savior of mankind, but is just using human beings to play a big game.

These players also have their own ideas and bases.

First of all, it was the emperor who strictly forbade human beings to engage in any superstitious activities.

At first glance, this reason seems to be to prevent the Chaos Evil God from being known to humans, thereby weakening the power of the Chaos Evil God. But if you look at the history of mankind, you will find that whether or not there are gods, human beings have developed certain beliefs. Not to mention that there are indeed gods in this world, so in the eyes of the player, the emperor is simply covering his ears and stealing the bell and there are no three hundred taels of silver here, which is meaningless.

This is the same as the prohibition in the United States, the reason why the prohibition was first enacted was that Congress at that time considered alcohol to be the root of crime, alcoholism also caused a lot of domestic violence problems, and at the religious level, alcohol is also associated with sin, plus the capitalists believe that workers' drinking will affect labor discipline and production efficiency, so the United States enacted a prohibition of alcohol.

As a result, illegal brewing, smuggling of alcohol, etc., became rampant, and Prohibition did not have any effect at all, and it did not restrict the occurrence of criminal acts. On the contrary, because of smuggling and illegal brewing, more criminal problems have formed.

The same is true of the imperial truth promulgated by the emperor, which is essentially no different from Prohibition, which does not recognize the objective existence of facts, but has to be forbidden by subjective will, and the final result is the collapse of the entire imperial truth.

Players also criticized Imperial Truth on the forum, and many players believed that it was a misunderstanding to regard Imperial Truth as materialism. This is because, according to the materialist dialectic of reality, the unity of the world lies in materiality, consciousness is the product of the development of the material world to a certain stage, and human cognition is a reaction to objective existence.

So, to put it simply, materialism does not actually mean atheism, but because there is no objective proof of the existence of gods, materialism will regard it as non-existent. If there were gods in this world that could be objectively recognized, then materialism would also recognize their existence.

Therefore, if we look at it according to our materialist point of view, then the imperial truth of Xinghai OL is obviously not materialism, but idealism——— there are indeed gods and demons in that world, but you deny them all, and want to use subjective will to deny the fact of objective existence, which in itself is a big lie, and it will not last long at all.

Just look at the results.

Prohibition was enacted in 1919 and repealed in 1933.

The truth of the empire was still there before the emperor died, and who cares about this thing after the emperor dies? Otherwise, how did the state religion of the empire appear?

In the final analysis, materialism is always stronger than idealism, and any attempt to influence or even deny the existence of objective reality with the subjective will of individuals is meaningless.

You say that gods don't exist, and if you have the ability, don't give shelter when people are praying. While giving shelter, he also said that the gods did not exist, which was really deserving and standing, which made people speechless.

Therefore, in the eyes of many players, the emperor's original promulgation of the imperial truth was simply a big mistake, he could have taught mankind to objectively understand these existences through some means, instead of directly denying them outright——— it has been proven that denying the reality of objective existence will not solve any problems.

To tell the truth, it is better to distort human cognition with the idea that "the so-called gods are just beings with greater powers" than to deny the reality of the existence of gods altogether.

On top of that, the Emperor's behavior seems to many players to be contradictory.

In the case of repairing the network, why didn't the emperor repair the network before the Great Expedition was launched, and had to wait until after the Great Expedition? Before the soldiers and horses moved, didn't he understand the truth that the grain and grass went first? And the facts have also proved that the emperor has long known about the existence of the network, can't he repair the network and then launch a great expedition?

Of course, emperors are also human beings, and even human beings make mistakes.

However, the imperial classics write the emperor wise and martial, and it is only written that he has known 5,000 years before and 5,000 years later.

That............... For players, this is questionable.

Either the emperor is not as smart as the imperial texts say, he will be stupid, and more than once.

Either the emperor had ulterior motives and some unknown conspiracy, all of which were part of some larger plan.

Because of this, as the player's inquisitor, although they are responsible for protecting and saving mankind, they will not accept the emperor's set completely, and may even reject it altogether.

At the time of the empire, Duanmu Huai's behavior had long been condemned as heresy.

But now that the empire is finished, and no one pays him a salary, Duanmu Huai naturally does what he wants.

The Holy Texts of the Inquisition are actually very simple, the protection of humanity is the core element, and any threat to the existence of humanity must be defeated——— as for whether to completely destroy them or spare their lives to see the aftermath, it is up to the Inquisitors themselves to decide.

Of course, there are also statues of gods representing the Inquisition.

A warhammer.

After receiving the blessing, you can get a 10% bonus to the damage of races other than humans.

The people of Falling Hammer Province are fierce, and the Red Guards are even better at fighting, and many Red Guards have joined the Inquisition and become one of them in order to fight against the elves.

Everyone is waiting for the final moment.

However, at the same time, Duanmu Huai was meeting with an old man.

That's the Emperor ——— Titus. Maider II.

"You want the Inquisition to stop its assault on elven sovereignty?"

Duanmu Huai stared at the old man in front of him, his eyes slightly cold.

"Yes, great warrior."

The old emperor nodded, although he was not as tall as Duanmu Huai, but sitting in front of him, the old emperor also showed his spirit.

"Now is not the time to turn against the Somer elves, the Empire ..............."

"I think you've mistaken something, Your Majesty."

Duanmu Huai raised his hand and interrupted the old emperor's speech.

"The Inquisition, not a friend of the Empire, as I said before, is only responsible for destroying all enemies that threaten humanity. And the political problems within humanity are not what the Inquisition needs to consider. Other words......... The life or death of the Empire is meaningless and worthless to the Inquisition, and even if the Empire is destroyed, we will not care as long as humanity is still ruled by a new nation. ”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, a trace of uneasiness flashed in the old emperor's eyes.

"This ......... Is that the attitude of the court? ”

"That's right, that's the attitude of the Inquisition."

Duanmu Huai stood up and looked at the old man in front of him.

"For the Inquisition, any threat to the existence of humanity must be defeated or destroyed. Elven sovereigns have proven their threat and hostility to humanity with their actions, and as such, they are enemies to the Inquisition that must be destroyed. ”

Saying this, Duanmu Huai looked out the window.

"It's almost time, and it looks like the elves have made their choice."

Then, he said coldly.
