"Master, commander-in-chief Bryson has colluded with the dark believers?" Barton was shocked as he heard Dudian's words. The news was too shocking. Dudian was one of the most powerful people in the military headquarters. It was unbelievable that he had dealings with the dirty and evil followers of the dark religion.
"Collusion is false but he is guilty." Dean didn't deceive Barton: "The only obstacles in front of us are the military headquarters and the magistrate. The Knight's Hall is nothing to be afraid of. They will be trampled under the feet of the believers. We don't hurt others so we won't be hurt by others. We seem to be high and mighty but in fact there is no way to retreat. Do you know?"
Barton understood half of Dean's words. Although he didn't fully understand but he understood two points. First was that commander-in-chief Bryson was wronged because he was the enemy. Second was that Dean's purpose was to rule the entire outer wall. Perhaps this was just the beginning!
He didn't know what to say. In his mind, the title 'commander-in-chief' contained too much solemnity. He didn't think that he would be slandered and destroyed because he was an obstacle!
He didn't know whether Dean was right or wrong. He was at a loss.
Dean understood Barton's thoughts from his expression. He patted his shoulder: "Don't think too much about it. Think about what the military has done. Think about the families of the civilians who were forcibly separated by the military. Think about the military's bullying of the civilians. It's all because of their lack of discipline. They acquiesced to it. That's their sin!"
Barton stared blankly for a moment. In his mind, scenes of the army coming to the slums and forcibly arresting able-bodied men suddenly appeared. The softness in his heart immediately hardened. He nodded forcefully and said, "I know, they are not worthy of sympathy!"
"Go." Dudian said.
Richelieu sighed in his heart as he watched Barton leave. He turned to look at the black-haired boy and said, "Are we really going to attack the military? Bryson is the commander-in-chief. Even if the Dark Church cooperates and produces conclusive evidence to prove that he is colluding with the dark believers, the military will not let us take him away so easily. Otherwise, I would have used this method long ago."
"You didn't use it before because you had too many concerns." Dean's face was indifferent: "There are too many concerns and too little courage. In the past, aristocrats, military generals, as long as they have privileges, even if they colluded with the dark church and committed despicable acts, you would turn a blind eye to it. Some aristocrats sell human organs, some sell orphans from slums. You are aware of these things, but you acquiesce to them. This is your sin!"
"Every one of us is guilty, and every one of us deserves to die." Dean stood on the steps and looked down at him, "But only the strong can judge others. The biggest sin of death is being weak!"
Richelieu was stunned. He lowered his head in silence.
"Bryson will not give in obediently, and the military will not allow such a thing to happen. They will lose face and prestige, and will resist tenaciously. This is a declaration of war!" Dean said in a cold voice: "My purpose in controlling the Holy Church is to use the name of the Holy Church to sweep away all forces. No matter what the war is, as long as you stand on the side of the people's will, you will always win. This is the lesson that history has taught us. You will never understand."
Richelieu's heart was touched. As the Pope, he had managed the Holy Church for many years. He was deeply aware of the importance of the existence of faith. There was no need to spend any resources. With just a few words, countless believers were willing to sacrifice their lives without fear. This was the power of faith. But the youth in front of him was more thorough. It was the will of the people!
The nobles, the military, and even the Knight's Hall didn't take the commoners seriously. Just from the way the commoners blurted out the word "untouchables", it was easy to see what kind of discrimination it was. However, only he knew that although the commoners were weak, they could be an unbeatable force when they gathered together. It was enough to overthrow everything!
And this point, besides him, this youth was actually able to comprehend it as well. Just this breadth of vision alone was enough to make him feel terrified!
"This is not an arrest operation, but a full-scale declaration of war!" Dean stared at Richelieu: "This time I need you to personally lead the team. Let the King of Light cooperate with you to defeat the military in one fell swoop. Do you understand?"
Richelieu stared at him blankly. After a while, he slowly lowered his head. "I understand. I will do it."
"Go, I'll be here waiting for your good news." Dean indifferently said.
Richelieu deeply bowed and turned to leave.
The entire Holy Church was boiling when the Holy Edict came out. The news quickly spread to all forces and even to the civilians.
"Commander-in-chief Bryson is colluding with the dark believers? Oh my god, the dignified Commander-in-chief is mixing with the dark believers! "
"No wonder the dark believers are so arrogant. In recent days they have been appearing in the commercial district. It turns out that there is a military backing them!"
"Will the military hand over Bryson? They won't let the Holy Church take away such a big deal. In the past, they arrested a general who had made a deal with the dark believers. It caused a lot of friction."
"Is this news true?"
The civilians speculated.
The nobles of the six consortiums, magistrate and the Knight's Hall were shocked when they heard the news.
They knew the consequences of the Holy Church's announcement. It was equivalent to a formal declaration of war with the military. If the Holy Church retreated then the prestige of the Holy Church would be greatly damaged. But if Bryson was sentenced then the prestige of the military would be damaged. This news was equivalent to a declaration of war between the two forces!
"Father, is this true? Is Commander-in-chief Bryson colluding with the dark believers?"
"Child, your political awareness is still too shallow. The Holy Church is deliberately looking for an excuse to start a war. Moreover if the Holy Church wins then the outer wall will be dominated by the Holy Church."
"So that's how it is. In other words, this thing is fake?"
"It doesn't matter if it's true or false. What's important is power. People will take it seriously even if it's a lie. People will take it seriously if it's a lie or not. People will take it seriously if it's a lie or not."
"I see. It's like us aristocrats. No matter what we say the untouchables will believe it."
"Yes, the untouchables won't be jealous of the aristocrats. But they will be jealous of the untouchables."
