"I know! I'll do my best to complete the task!" Glenn said. She didn't have a good impression of the inner wall. She wouldn't have the slightest sympathy even if a lot of people died.
"I've marked the places with red circles on the map. These are the places where the poison must be placed! If anyone doesn't place the poison then they will be executed! " Dudian said in a cold voice: "In addition, you have to guard against any of them taking the opportunity to sneak into the inner wall. You have to get hold of their weakness!"
"Yes, master." Glenn nodded.
"I'll give the poison to Neuss. Gather the people and come back to collect it."
"Yes."
Dudian came to another hall after Glenn left. It was the place where the scriptures of the Holy Church were stored. Now the scriptures had been emptied and various experimental tools had been set up. It was Dudian's alchemy room.
Dean took Aisha to the side hall and asked Neuss to wait outside. He went to a cabinet and opened it with a key hidden in another cabinet. He took out a head. It was the head of the corpse king that bit Aisha!
Dean put on gloves and held the corpse king's head in front of a bubbling water tank. He slowly put the head into the water and soon it sank. At the same time, the color of the water in the tank changed. A trace of black liquid overflowed from the corpse king's mouth. It mixed with the water and dyed it red.
This time he didn't use the fierce poisons made by the potioneers but corpse poison! His purpose wasn't to kill but to create chaos. The corpse king's virus was the most suitable.
Dean asked Neuss to give her the refined corpse poison. The corpse poison was put into a water bag. He said again: "Be careful. I've prepared some gold for you. If necessary you can buy others to do things for you. But remember not to leak any information."
"I know." Glenn solemnly replied.
Neuss looked at Dudian after Glenn left: "Master, can they put all the poison into the cities of the inner wall? Aren't the defenses of the cities very tight?"
Dudian replied: "As long as they have the intention to break the law then they won't do anything else. Death is enough."
Neuss was silent.
"As long as they have the courage to poison the public wells that are commonly used by the residents. Many people don't do it because they don't have the ability but they don't have the courage. They are afraid of being traced back to them." Dudian said.
Neuss listened and nodded. That was true.
"The first task of the military will be to stabilize the chaos in the inner wall. They won't be able to allocate too many people to manage us. Moreover if the chaos expands then even the devil families will be forced by Aristotle to suppress the chaos." Dudian said.
Neuss understood that Dudian was using offense as defense. He couldn't help but admire in his heart. Dudian was the only one who could calculate the inner wall in such a way.
"Heroes are born in troubled times. If there are no troubled times, then create troubled times." Dudian's eyes narrowed: "We have to seize the opportunity to accumulate strength as soon as possible to deal with the coming war!"
"Yes, master."
Dudian calculated the time. It was time to let the barbarians enter the inner wall. It would be a waste of manpower if they didn't use them.
"Call Sergei to call Richelieu and Barton." Dudian said to Neuss.
Neuss left.
The civilians living in the commercial district were living a peaceful life. Noble ladies and young masters were drinking afternoon tea. They were talking about the taste of desserts and the beauty of the Moulin Rouge. Farm owners were also conscientiously spurring their serfs to plant food diligently. In the mines owned by the nobles, the foreman was whipping the miners to make them work harder to mine …
Some rich businessmen and consortiums were secretly inquiring about the movements of the military and the Holy Church. They wanted to know some inside information and to see the current situation of the outer wall.
However, the news from the Holy Church and the military made the entire outer wall burst into an uproar.
The military and the Holy Church issued an announcement at the same time. They decided to cancel the registration of the poor. They would become ordinary civilians with relative freedom. They wouldn't be slaves and would be exempted from slavery. Moreover they would enjoy the legal protection of the magistrate.
The entire outer wall was turned upside down as soon as the news came out.
The people who were the most excited were the poor people in the slums. To them, the reformation of the Vatican and the Army was like a blessing from the heavens. It had completely changed their lives. They didn't even dare to dream of such a thing, but it had happened in reality!
The nobles and civilians in the commercial district had the most intense reaction. All of them were opposed to the reform! For the nobles it meant that they would lose the cheap labor force of the poor. They would have to pay the price of the civilians if they wanted to hire workers in the future! This was tantamount to losing a lot of money for no reason!
For the commoners, it was the same. If the poor became commoners, then they would have fewer opportunities to work and more competitiveness. Correspondingly, their wages would inevitably be reduced. This was inevitable! Moreover the existence of the poor had made them feel a sense of superiority. They couldn't tolerate the filthy smell of the poor to become the same as them!
It didn't take long for a group to come to the front of the military and the Holy Church when the news came out. They held signs and strongly opposed the reform. The scene was chaotic.
Dean didn't care when Neuss passed the news back to him. He had considered the two major obstacles when he introduced the policy. To put it bluntly, it was tantamount to fighting against all the people in the outer wall! It was as difficult as a leader of a country to implement a policy that was opposed by the whole country!
After all, 95% of the wealth of the entire outer wall was in the hands of nobles and civilians. The poor had almost no savings except to fill their stomachs. After all, the poor had always been a cheap labor force. Some of them were even treated as slaves. It was good enough that they could eat their fill. There was no such thing as a salary. Most people knew that some black-hearted nobles would abduct and sell poor people as laborers, but they all tacitly agreed to it. Because there were no poor people in the upper echelons of power, no one would cry out for such a group of people.
But now Dean had done it.
Of course he wouldn't go against the nobles and civilians. He wouldn't be able to suppress the riots no matter how much force he had.
"Master, do you want me to send people to drive them away?" Neuss carefully asked.
Dean waved his hand: "Don't worry about them. They are just pawns. The people behind them are waiting to catch us. We can't intensify the contradictions. Let Barton release the news that he will give everyone a reasonable explanation. Let them digest and adapt to this matter."
Neuss couldn't help but ask: "What if someone makes trouble today?"
"Let the dark church deal with it. They won't appear today." Dean calmly replied.
Neuss understood and immediately retreated.
Dean dipped the pen in the ink after Neuss left. He was ready to write a speech. The title of the speech was: Everyone is equal!
At the same time, the outside world was in an uproar because of this sudden policy, and it was in an uproar.
