364: Anning Road
Jerlock, located in the territory of the empire, is a small town in the east, because of the abundant underground resources, the economy is becoming more and more prosperous.
In recent years, a religion called "Anning Road" has emerged, and many religious facilities have been established, which has raised the prosperity of the town to a higher level, forming a huge city with a unique culture.
Although it is not more than God, the city has a peaceful atmosphere and people do not feel nervous.
Many chambers of commerce have settled in the city, and the city gates are constantly coming and going every day, and now, several special guests have been welcomed.
"[Anning Dao], I didn't expect that under the chaotic overall situation, such a large-scale religion could be established."
Bai Hua strolled through the streets, his face was not full of joy and anger, and he observed the pedestrians with his spare eyes.
After a moment, confirming some basic information, he turned to look at his fellow subordinates and said, "What do you guys think?"
Everyone looked at each other and hesitated.
The two sisters, Red Pupil and Black Pupil, the combination of Bai Lin and Luna, plus Will, the military attache of the Empire's nascent faction.
A total of six people made up this special mission team.
In fact, except for Bai Lin and Luna, the rest of the people's understanding of Bai Hua was limited to the conversation they had for two days, and they didn't dare to talk much, and they were not leaders themselves, so they didn't think about this at all.
After a moment of silence, Red Hitomi stood up first.
"Actually, I don't think the purpose of [Anning Dao] is bad for the empire, at least for the time being, it has driven the economic development of the city, making it the most harmonious city in the empire."
That's true.
It can be said that it is the existence of [Anning Dao] that has created this city.
Otherwise, Jerlock is just a small town with abundant resources.
In this regard, Bai Hua could not deny it, but he knew in his heart that [Anning Dao] must be disbanded.
"On the surface, this is the case, but I have a very interesting piece of information in my hand, the Sect Leader of [Anning Dao] Assistant Beric is a supporter of the former minister Neosster, and has been secretly in contact, and even revealed the true identity of the Sect Master, hoping to get support and then completely control [Anning Dao]."
“——!”
Everyone was startled and looked solemn.
It was the darkness of the Empire, and as long as it was about Neoster, everything would get troublesome.
However, there is much more to the shocking than that.
"After Neoster's death, most of the people responsible in the imperial capital were imprisoned or executed, but there were a few clever guys who realized before the imperial capital was locked down that it was a great purge within the empire and fled here."
After speaking, Bai Hua stopped talking.
At this point, Luna spoke again.
She had been instructed a lot by Altaïr before she came, and now was the time to come in handy.
"This time, it's not just Peric and those criminals who want to get rid of it, but also the entire [Tranquility Dao], and our task is to dismantle them."
"Why" Red Hitomi wondered.
"Is it really necessary, I feel like this religion," Will hesitated.
"Well, let's put it this way, the empire has been reshuffled, and what is established is royal power, and what is needed is the people's faith and trust in the emperor, and [Anning Dao] itself is the existence of a threatening royal power, and it is competing with the emperor for faith." Luna explained coldly.
In the current situation, the most important thing is to stabilize the people's will.
[Anning Dao] also grasped the gap in the instability of the people's hearts in order to develop so rapidly, but at this moment it has become a roadblock for the empire, so it is natural to kick it away.
Religion will not be allowed in absolute kingship.
That would only have an impact on the royal power and make the people question the emperor.
And
"The most important thing is that [Anning Dao] is the last hope of the revolutionary army." Luna smiled coldly.
She had been in contact with the Revolutionary Army when she was operating with Bai Hua, and she did not have a good impression of it.
Red Hitomi couldn't help but shudder, gritting her teeth and not showing it.
But this is captured by Luna.
"Red pupils, I know that you belonged to the revolutionary army before, and it is normal for you to have nostalgia, but I hope you can understand one thing, the hope of the revolutionary army is ethereal, even if you win the support of [Anning Dao], it will only make the empire a little more troublesome, and in the end, it will increase innocent lives in vain."
"I didn't mean that, just some"
"Can't bear it," Luna sighed.
And Bai Hua affirmed the conjecture of the red pupil at this time: "It has been determined, before we come, [nght rad] will enter the city, and the target will also be [Anning Dao]. ”
"I see."
The red pupil lowered her head, and she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, but she didn't refute it.
"Red Hitomi, you, if you fight [nght rad], you don't have to make a move."
Bai Hua stepped forward and patted Chitong's shoulder to show understanding.
Will also nodded and comforted: "Rely on your companions more, with me and the captain here, you girls don't have to do any tiring work." ”
However, the moment the words fell, a cold killing intent swept through Will's body.
"That Miss Black Hitomi, don't stare at me like this?"
Will's voice trembled, no, his whole body began to tremble.
He didn't dare to forget that after knocking off Hei Pupil's snack a few days ago, he was chased and killed several streets in the imperial capital.
"Okay, there's still a task, you can stop a little bit."
Bai Hua twitched his brows, while suppressing Bai Lin, who was calling to enjoy the food, he stared at everyone helplessly, and suddenly had a headache, none of these guys except for Red Hitomi and Luna were worrying.
In addition, there was also some inexplicable happiness in his heart, Bai Hua did not hate such interactions.
Next, after discussing for a while, everyone began to act separately.
Bai Lin and Luna's group are familiar with the city route, which is convenient for the development of follow-up plans.
Bai Hua and Red Hitomi team up to find the traces of [nght rad] and several criminals.
And Black Hitomi and Will formed a group, and went to the headquarters of [Anning Dao] in a bright and bright manner.
They are indeed here to dismantle the [Tranquility Dao], but it does not mean that they want to kill all the [Tranquility Dao], on the contrary, they will try their best to protect the ordinary believers and the people.
If the cost can be reduced, it is naturally a good thing.
Moreover, [Anning Dao] is only a folk religion in the empire in name, so it is naturally limited by the empire, at least as an imperial envoy, it should not be difficult to meet its sect leader.
However, the two didn't even enter the door and were driven out.
"Tsk, it seems that it is the worst-case scenario as the captain expected, [Anning Dao] is either controlled by rebellion, or has already reached a cooperation with [nght rad]." Will's expression was solemn, and his face became more and more ugly.
"No, you are too naïve, they have declared war on the Empire."
The black pupil shook his head expressionlessly, and in an instant, he pulled out his long knife and slashed behind him.
With two screams, the attacker collapsed in a pool of blood.
The black pupil then looked at Will.
"Haven't you noticed such an obvious murderous aura?"
“”
Not really.
