There is a question that has been bothering Kryolev.

That's ......... What will Herman's future look like?

And now, he sees part of the answer to that question.

He saw how the Fourth Legion took the city of Rozes......... Well, from a military point of view, there were no bright spots in this offensive, and even in the opinion of the battle-experienced veteran general, the battle itself was somewhat dragging and not very ideal.

But that's not the point, the point is ......... He saw a battlefield completely different from what he remembered.

After the capture of the city of Rozes, the Fourth Army did not burn and loot the city, on the contrary, they immediately began to send soldiers to maintain order in the city, and strictly forbade any plunder and seizure——— which was very new to Kriolev and others, because it had always been regarded as part of the war. The soldiers' fear of death and the stress of war need to be relaxed and vented, so to a certain extent, this behavior is tacitly tolerated.

But the Fourth Regiment was markedly different, and the soldiers were strictly forbidden to engage in similar acts, patrolling the city and maintaining law and order. At first, the inhabitants of Rozes seemed apprehensive, but when they realized that the soldiers were not a threat to them, they relaxed a lot.

But it doesn't stop there.

Soon after the capture of the city of Rozes, the Fourth Legion opened a special court to announce to the inhabitants that the city had been liberated from the council and returned to the emperor. And the lackeys of the Council will also be judged. The nobles and officials who had relied on the majesty of the council in the city of Rozes to oppress the people were imprisoned, arrested, tried in public, and then executed.

Their wealth was seized by the Fourth Legion, and food and some of the daily necessities were distributed to the poor people, and houses and land were either returned to their original owners or temporarily confiscated by the Fourth Legion.

After all this is over, the Fourth Legion will also send people to tell the inhabitants of Rozes City why they are fighting——— of course, the central idea is only one, that is, the Prime Minister Stirser and the Council have taken control of the Emperor and seized the country, so the country will become what it is now, and all the Fourth Legion has to do is to restore legitimacy, defeat the Council, and then let the Emperor take power again.........

"Why are you doing this??"

Looking at the man preaching to the people in the distance, Rolex frowned, and Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"It's very simple, because we want the support of the people, and the soldiers are people, and they come from these people, and only if they know what they are fighting for, they will not have doubts."

Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai silently glanced at Kriolev.

"It's not like some old man who doesn't even know what he wants to do."

"Hehe..............."

Kriolev smiled bitterly and did not speak, he understood what Duanmu Locust meant. Indeed, while he and Rolex felt that this was a waste of time, it would have been easier to gain their understanding, at least in terms of rule, by letting the people of the city know what was going on at the moment, and why they were doing it.

It's just that in the past, as the commanders of the legions, they only had to pay attention to fighting wars, and political issues like this kind of internal governance were not something that soldiers should be involved in.

"Your Excellency, Inquisitor."

At this time, Qierti appeared in front of Duanmu Huai, with a somewhat serious expression.

"What's wrong?"

"We received reports from the masses that some officials had absconded to the AL church and hid, and we wanted to go in and search, but the AL priest refused our request and even called on the believers to defend the church............... Claiming that if we were to enter the church, we would have to step over their bodies. ”

Speaking of this, Kirti also made a gesture helplessly.

"Now we can't force our way into the church........."

"Hmph."

Hearing Qierti's report, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"Take me there."

Soon, Kirti led Duanmu Huai to the AL Church in Royce City Square, only to see dozens of civilian believers standing there surrounded by a fat-headed and big-eared priest at the gate, confronting Kirti's personal guards and soldiers of the Fourth Legion.

And the fat-headed and big-eared priest is also opening his mouth at the moment.

"You don't want to enter this church! This is the place where the holy goddess Alice is located, and you savage, vulgar military men are not allowed to enter! Even if you take this city, you will not want to defile the great sanctuary of the goddess Alice! ”

In the face of this priest who was crazy like a god, everyone was also speechless, and a group of people from Rozes gathered around them, looking at the church in front of them with uneasy eyes.

"That's interesting."

Seeing this, Rolex whistled and whispered to Kriolev.

"I'm most annoyed by these gods, talking to them is infuriating, and I don't know how this Inquisitor intends to clean them up."

“………………………”

Kriolev didn't speak, just nodded slightly, he also agreed with Rolex, the priests of the AL Sect are very religious——— or stubborn. And if one is not handled well, then the reputation of the Fourth Legion in Rozes City will also be affected, and now he also wants to see what Duanmu Huai plans to do.

"Hmph."

Looking at the AL Sect priest who was talking nonsense, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly and strode forward. And seeing Duanmu Huai's figure, the AL Sect priest suddenly turned pale.

"Heterodox, heresy! Get out of here, this is not a place for heretics like you! ”

"Al-Teach, you believe in the goddess Alice, right?"

"That's right!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the priest suddenly showed an expression of excitement and fanaticism.

"The great goddess Alice guides and saves the world! She created this world and lovingly guards humanity! Great and holy gods! ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"In that case, then I would like to ask you, where is your goddess Alice, when the people of this city are oppressed, bullied, and abused by the lackeys of the Council? Shouldn't she come out and save everyone? ”

"This ..............."

Faced with Duanmu Huai's inquiry, the priest was speechless for a while.

However, Duanmu Huai did not give him a chance to think and organize his language, but continued to stare at him coldly.

"Or ......... Are you just making excuses? Didn't exercise his duties as an AL priest at all? Otherwise, why do the people of the city suffer here, but the goddess Alice knows nothing? Aren't you in cahoots with those damn council lackeys and blinding the public?! ”

"This ......... No......... Not at all! I'm a devout believer............! ”

The fat-headed and big-eared priest was sweating in a hurry at this moment, he didn't expect this man to be so ruthless, and he would buckle such a big hat for himself when he came up! In fact, many of the believers around him have begun to look at him with suspicion!

"In that case, let's go in and search, and if those guys aren't inside, I'll believe you're still a devout priest who believes in the goddess Alice."

“………………………”

"Tut-tut."

Looking at the blue and white look on the face of the fat-headed and big-eared priest, Rolex also shook his head and looked at Kriolev.

"Are all of these religious people born to turn right and wrong into black and white?"

"Hehe........."

It is no wonder that Rolex had this idea, if Duanmu Huai denied the existence of the goddess Alice here, then his heretical status as a judge of the Inquisition would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other believers.

But Duanmu Huai didn't do this, on the contrary, he did the opposite and directly scolded the AL priest, thinking that he was disloyal! Not a devout believer in the goddess Alice! So in this way, the direct target has changed, and for other AL believers, the current problem is not the goddess Alice, but this fat-headed and slap-in-the-face priest who can't do anything!

Of course, Rolex didn't know that the Inquisition was the best at this!

What four-armed god emperor?

What Second Reich?

What is the best way?

You're not loyal, come on, drag it down and cut it!

Just kidding, when it comes to judging heretics, who dares to be more professional than the court?

"No, this, but ..............."

In the face of Duanmu Huai's angry rebuke, the fat-headed and big-eared priest turned pale, was in a cold sweat, and couldn't say anything. But Duanmu Huai didn't care, but strode towards the door.

At this moment, those believers were not as resolute as before, and when they saw Duanmu Huai coming, they retreated to both sides, and the priest sat on the ground with a slump of his ass, looking at this huge figure that almost enveloped him in horror.

Duanmu Huai didn't even look at the other party, directly pushed open the door, and then made a gesture.

"Search for me!"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's order, the soldiers of the Fourth Legion immediately rushed into the church, and after a while, with the screams of killing pigs, they saw several nobles being dragged out of the church by the soldiers of the Fourth Legion.

Seeing this scene, the priest's face was even more discouraged.

"Take it away."

Duanmu Huai coldly glanced at the nobles who were crying for their fathers and mothers, gave an order casually, and then looked at the priest who was sitting on the ground.

"And this hypocrite under the banner of the goddess, take them down for interrogation! And then a public trial! ”

“———————！”

Hearing this, the fat-headed and big-eared priest was angry and anxious, and finally he rolled his eyes......... I just passed out.

“…………………”

Seeing that the priest was taken away, Lucien, who was hiding in the crowd, had a somewhat complicated expression, and after Kriolev surrendered, she followed Kirti's personal guard back to the rear and acted with the Fourth Legion. And in the process, Lucian also saw the lives of many people at the bottom, as well as their pain and tragedy.

And now......... Even the priests of the AL Sect are in cahoots with these guys, the people of the fish?

Why, did Herman become like this?

Thinking of this, Lucian shook her head, and at this time, her eyes suddenly met that of Kriolev, who was looking this way, which suddenly startled Lucian, she hurriedly lowered her head, and then turned around and left with the other soldiers.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong? General Kriolev? ”

"No, nothing ..............."

Kriolev withdrew his gaze from the back of the girl in civilian clothing, showed a puzzled expression, and shook his head.

"I saw an acquaintance."

"Here?"

"Maybe it's just the same, maybe I'm wrong."
