The so-called tossing of a stone into a thousand ripples was probably referring to the order that the Mifata Federation had just issued.
All the literate civilians who had settled down for more than ten years could go to the government office to register their surnames.
As soon as this order was issued, the whole federation was in an uproar.
Unlike the Republic of Northwest, the merchant party of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, and the Dhaka Business Alliance, the Mifata Federation was a country with a large number of nobles. Although it was called the Country of Mages, in fact, this country was also ruled by a number of lords, but most of the lords were mages.
In the Mifata Federation, the status of the nobles was also very high, at least much higher than that of the civilians.
In fact, because of the control of a large number of resources, most of the middle-level and high-level mages were born in noble families, and there were fewer and fewer excellent mages from pure civilian families. In other words, the Mifata Federation had almost changed from a simple Country of Mages to a country of noble mages.
And the nobles cared a lot about their honor. The new order damaged their honor, so they naturally opposed it fiercely.
But … the legendary mages were very determined.
No opposition!
The mages of judgement from the Highest Tower went everywhere. Once someone opposed this order, they would be executed immediately, without even giving them a chance to appeal.
In just five short days, they had executed nearly two hundred nobles in one go, including two honorable counts!
As for the soldiers and knights who were killed because of resistance, there were even more. In the most serious case, the mages of judgement killed more than 100 people in one go, and the blood almost flowed into a small river.
With such cruel means, the voices of opposition were immediately suppressed. Not even one person dared to express their dissatisfaction under such circumstances, or even to pretend to agree but oppose in secret. On the contrary, the civilians welcomed this order very much, and went to the government office of each town to register their surnames.
When the news reached the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, the leaders of the aristocratic party heard it and looked at each other, chills running down their spines.
"How … how can this be?! This is crazy! "an earl exclaimed." Are those mages crazy? "
"They are destroying their own foundation!" Another earl seemed very surprised, and even a little resentful. "Don't they know that the civilians are meaningless, and that the nobles are the power that supports their rule?"
Marquis Gordon was silent for a while, and said, "I am more puzzled about another thing. Why would the legendary mages who decide the direction of the country choose such cruel and fierce means? Logically speaking, they could have used softer methods to solve the problem. I don't believe that anyone in the Mifata Federation would dare to go against the Legendary Wizards Conference. "
The nobles nodded. They felt the same way.
In that case, why did the Legendary-mages use such violent and cruel methods to the point of falling out with almost all the nobles?
The answer came quickly.
The Mifata Federation announced that the Church of the God of Aristocracy was an illegal organization, and that joining this church was equivalent to committing treason. The Mifata Federation also announced that the Church of the God of Aristocracy in the Mifata Federation would be annihilated in the near future.
This news could be said to be earth-shattering. Since ancient times, there had never been a church that dared to directly deny a True God. Moreover, it was the church of the God of Aristocracy, which was one of the best in the Human God System …
Only the Orc Empire and the Eagle Kingdom were in a similar situation.
In the Orc Empire, the Church of the Human Gods, especially the Church of the God of Knights, was strictly forbidden. In the Eagle Kingdom, the churches of the Orc Gods were also strictly forbidden. The attitude of the prohibition was roughly like what the Mifata Federation had announced this time. Anyone who believed in religion would be committing treason.
This was determined by the feud between the Orcs and the humans. The Orc Empire and the Eagle Kingdom were old rivals. The hatred between them could be said to be higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Only under such circumstances could there be such a decree.
One should know that even in the Orc Empire, borderlands such as the Western Wilderness, the control of faith was very loose. In the capital of the Western Wilderness, the Iron Sand City, there were even temples of the Human Gods — of course, there were no temples of the God of Knights. This was the bottom line.
But the Mifata Federation was also a human country!
Although there were many races living together in this country, the majority were still humans. How could a human country openly deny the faith of one of the Human Gods?
However, the attitude of the legendary mages was very firm. Only three days later, 18 legendary mages joined forces and came to the Golden Tower City.
They did not even try to persuade them to surrender or declare war. They directly joined forces to launch a large-scale legendary spell, killing the entire Golden Tower City along with all the residents in it, as well as the believers of the God of Aristocracy who came from all directions.
Those who died in the city included the core higher-ups of the Church of the God of Aristocracy, and even their current High Priest.
When the news came, even Sui Xiong was shocked.
"What the hell are these guys thinking?!" He could not help but say to himself, "Even if they want to annihilate the Church of the God of Aristocracy, they should not kill the civilians in the Golden Tower City! There are more than 100,000 people in the Golden Tower City! "
This kind of method could be said to be insane, but it was also full of deterrence. So everywhere in the Mifata Federation launched an action to wipe out the Church of the God of Aristocracy. The soldiers, under the leadership of the mages, ran everywhere to search for all the people who believed in the God of Aristocracy. Anyone who refused to publicly declare their conversion to the God of Aristocracy, regardless of gender, age, or status, was executed.
In the depths of the God Kingdom of the Human Gods, the God of Aristocracy, whose body was wrapped in ice, was sitting on the black pool. His face suddenly changed and he spat out a big mouthful of blood.
"How are you? If you can't take it, come out quickly! "the God of Diplomacy said worriedly.
With a flash of light, the God of Aristocracy had already left the pool and appeared next to him.
At this moment, this god, who had just suffered a heavy blow, was pale. His aura was unstable, and his body was swaying as if he could fall at any time. But his eyes were very bright, full of confidence and … joy.
Joy?!
The God of Diplomacy was a little confused. He really didn't understand how one could be happy when encountering such a thing.
"Are you all right?" He asked worriedly.
"I'm fine." The God of Aristocracy replied, "I really didn't expect that the opportunity that I had been waiting for would actually come like this."
"What?"
The God of Aristocracy did not answer. They just took a deep breath.
His robe slid down, and his face and body were covered with countless cracks. He was like a broken piece of porcelain that could completely collapse at any time.
But soon, a resplendent golden light flowed out from those cracks. It was as if a golden sun was growing brighter and brighter inside.
At the same time, in the thousands of worlds, all the gods and demigods, all the powerful beings who had come into contact with the realm of God, could clearly feel the power of the concept of "aristocracy."
"The essence of nobility is the continuation of rule." The God of Aristocracy said in a calm and emotionless voice, "Using the nobility of bloodline as the foundation for the continuation of rule. Passed down from generation to generation, replaced, and never changed! "
"Below is the lord, above is the royal power. All the ways of ruling that are continued by bloodline are the embodiment of the concept of 'aristocracy.' This is the most reliable and stable way of ruling in the world. Even if there are occasional setbacks, even if there are a few people who try to deny it, what awaits them will be swept into a corner of history, and no one will care about them! "
"I am the God of Aristocracy. I am the protector of the ruler, the guard of order, and the witness of the prosperity and strength of the human world!"
In the Pantheon temple, the God of Aristocracy disappeared together with his seat, and then moved forward a row, from the peak of mid-level Divine Power to the ranks of the great Divine Powers.
