After the evil King Enrique II, who oppressed the people, was executed.
The representatives of the third class — the commercial nobles who controlled the capital — announced the establishment of the National Assembly, which was reorganized from the Lower Parliament. On August 12th, it was renamed the Constitutional Assembly.
However, the rebellion in the capital, Viana, was obviously just the beginning. When the capital was occupied by the "people," and the news that the evil King and the old nobles had been put on trial spread out.
Various cities competed to imitate the "people" of Viana and armed themselves to seize the municipal management rights. They also established the National Guard with a group of private soldiers recruited by the bourgeoisie as the core.
At the same time.
In the major cities and the wider villages, there were citizens and peasants everywhere attacking the nobles' manors, seigniors' manors, looting and burning land deeds. In less than half a month, the Constitutional Assembly organized by the people completely took control of the country.
However, on the surface, it seemed like the victory of the third class of peasants, proletarians, ordinary citizens, and the lower-class people.
But the real power holders were undoubtedly the big bourgeoisie — bankers, merchants, factory owners, transportation lords, mine owners, and land owners.
Then, the Constitutional Assembly abolished the King, Prince, hereditary nobles, and titles of nobility. They also reorganized the political districts. They established the Executive Council, the Supreme Court, the jury system …
They also publicly confiscated the property of the Black Iron Cross Church and announced that the clergymen of the church were the accomplices of the King … They drafted laws that were more conducive to commercial development … A series of new policies were carried out in full swing.
And the philosophy was always the same: people were born free and equal! All the people of the lower class believed in it and respected it.
However.
The intensity of this "great uprising" exceeded everyone's expectations from the beginning. Although the uprising was induced by the bourgeoisie, the original driving force was the deep-rooted hatred of the people for the original ruling class!
This emotion was like a man-eating tiger. After it was released from the cage, how could it be so easy to lock it back in?
After King Enrique II was pushed to the guillotine, the guillotine in the Grève Square was no longer idle.
A large number of convicted nobles and their families were sent here by the "rebels." There were even famous scholars who were convicted by the fanatical "rebels" because they put in a good word for the nobles.
In this special period, there was no other punishment for being guilty.
The highest execution record of the guillotine was 21 heads chopped off in 38 minutes!
Therefore.
This sacred machine that put an end to the sins of the past rulers was also affectionately called "the people's avenger", "the nation's razor", and "Saint Enrique" by the "rebels".
The most ironic thing was that the original designer of this guillotine was the first prisoner to die here during the great uprising – King Enrique II.
A long time ago, His Majesty the King realized that the blade of the guillotine was straight, which would prolong the pain of the prisoner during the execution. It was not humane, so he changed it to a triangular blade.
However, he never expected that decades later, the modified new machine would be directly used on him.
In order to prove the legitimacy of the uprising, there might be a trial in the capital, but outside of Viana, indiscriminate killings had become the norm.
Beheading, hanging, shooting, drowning …
Some provinces had too many people to kill that they were too lazy to even get a guillotine or rope. They simply lined up to be shot or drowned in the river. Even the families of the nobles found it very difficult to find their corpses.
Rivers of blood were definitely not just empty words.
In some places, people were killing people upstream, and the ghouls who saw the opportunity were already waiting downstream. They would dispose of these people for free without causing any pollution.
Also, after the new decree against the church was issued, the fanatical people also spread their anger to the clergymen of the "Black Iron Cross Church". Angry mobs rushed into churches all over the country and drove them all out.
Then, it was not the ghoul priests of the demigod "Cold Monarch" that entered the churches. Instead, it was the true god "Black Wing Cult"!
The new god statue in the churches was completely different from the dark and bloody atmosphere of the past [Unjust War], [Atrocity], [Plunder], and [Theft].
It was an ancient symbol that represented trade, "Balance". It looked like a sharp longsword that was erected. On the two ends of the sword, there was gold, land, factories, raw materials, and other combinations of currency and production materials. On the other end, there were countless humans who were working hard.
The title also changed to "God of Capital and Wealth".
"Most Holy: Angel of Prosperity, Lord of Gold, Ruler of Capital, I pray that you control all the external aspects of my life, including my true wealth. Bless my life and give me the blessings that I deserve for today … "
In the capital city of Viana, a church that originally belonged to the "Black Iron Cross Church" had changed drastically. A group of believers in fancy clothes were praying piously under the lead of a golden-robed priest.
However, they did not notice that a handsome "young man" was standing outside the door and watching everything quietly.
There seemed to be a faint halo around the top of his head. Like an ancient hero, his masculine body was covered with a simple white robe.
In front of his chest hung a metal 'black cross'. It was densely covered with patterns of tulips, waves, and thorns. Each of the four corners was inlaid with a resplendent ruby that was cut into the shape of a crown.
The "young man" raised his head and looked at the inhuman holy emblem in the middle of the hall.
Other people might be confused by the golden image, but in his eyes, the essence of the "God of Black Wings" had never changed. The core was "plunder" from the beginning to the end!
It was just that the method was gentler and more secretive than before. It did not directly take the life of the target as the price. But in essence, it was only because the living could continue to create value and maximize the benefits.
They could not starve to death, but they could not become rich. They were full of desire for wealth but could not obtain it. This state of "hunger and thirst" was the perfect state of being exploited. Generation after generation of people were harvested by the capitalists to their heart's content!
"Is this the [Authority – Capital] that the" God of Black Wings "is planning?"
Capital came to this world. From head to toe, every pore was dripping with blood and filth.
Because the process of primitive accumulation of capital was essentially a process of invasion and plunder.
Early on, the Tulip countries, including Ilia, through the domestic enclosure movement, colonial plunder, the domestic national debt system, the establishment of banks and stock companies, and a strict tax system.
In addition, through external invasion and plunder, a large number of resources, wealth, and even population of backward countries and ethnic groups were plundered.
This was exactly the same as the essence of the "God of Black Wings."
The "young man's" heart was already in turmoil. His exposed face gradually became gloomy as he muttered to himself:
"The mass death of the Goddess' believers that the clergyman mentioned in the prayer was just a detail.
Overthrow the Ilia royal family, establish a new ruling order with a new interest group, expel the Goddess' faith, and pave the way for commerce. Then subvert the faith and shake the inherent royal power.
This is indeed not a normal change of royal power. This is to completely destroy the royal power! Is the "God of Black Wings" declaring war on the Goddess? "
The core clergy of the "Goddess of Royalty and Navigation" Hecaterpillar was [Royalty].
Subverting the faith and shaking the royal power had already touched the bottom line of a true God! This seemingly simple riot not only wanted to remove the lives of the king and nobles, but also the life of the Goddess!
The sun in the sky began to dim as his emotions changed. For a moment, most of the Tulip Islands seemed to have entered dusk.
Suddenly, as if in response to his words, a voice sounded in the "young man's" ear.
"That's not the case. This is just an inevitable law of the evolution of human society. Capital will become [Royalty]. The capitalist class will replace the monarch and become the new master of the human world."
Whoosh —
The white-robed young man took a step forward and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in the dim sky.
He also returned to his original form of the "Sun Crown" Holy Angel, Bellenus. He carried a huge shining cross on his shoulder and looked at the uninvited guest opposite him — another angel!
The black wings didn't have a blank face. On each wing, there were three red eyes blinking constantly. Terror, slaughter, and death that had condensed into substance surrounded him, turning into a thick dark cloud.
"Sharif! How dare you invade the land of the Goddess's favor. Are you trying to start a divine war?! "
With a shout, the sky was clear and cloudless.
The Killing Angel under the command of the God of Black Wings was fearless. He spread out his hands and said nonchalantly, "I'm sorry.
He spread out his hands and said, "Don't be so hostile. Although you don't have the relevant authority, you should be able to see the powerful strength of this new class. Clearly, this is the next direction of the trend!
Ilia and the entire Tulip Islands are the places where the power of the capitalist class develops the fastest in the source continent where the entire civilization is gathered. To be able to stand on the waves and welcome the arrival of a new era, you should feel honored. "
If humans could use the trend to resist the gods, then the gods could naturally use the trend to resist each other. And regardless of whether it was humans or gods who tried to obstruct the trend or interfere with the world's advancement, there wouldn't be a good outcome.
This attitude of a victor made Belnus crease his brows deeply.
"Don't fool me. The next trend should be the qualitative change in productivity represented by the steam industrial revolution!"
Although he didn't have any facial features, one could still sense that he was laughing wantonly.
"It's just on the surface and inside. The dynamic capitalist class is destined to become the world's master. Furthermore, it will rule the world more thoroughly than royalty. In the future, the lives of all humans will be centered around it.
Or do you want to go against the trend? Even if you stop them for a moment, can you stop them forever?
Furthermore, the Tulip Islands is the frontline of the steam industrial revolution. It's the place with the richest aura of capital. It's destined that the great God of Black Wings will replace the Goddess of Royalty as the new faith here.
"Our forceful interference is meaningless. How about we see the humans' choice? Hahaha … "
Killing Angel Kariye left behind a final sentence and disappeared with a loud laugh.
As the leader of the evil gods, God of Black Wings, Ceci, was going to disguise his evil nature and return to the continent?
Even an angel with both divinity and humanity couldn't see through everything about humans. Looking at Ceci's disappearing figure, Bellenus' expression changed.
"In the evolution of human society, will the secular royalty be replaced? Perhaps the problems of mortals really need to be … answered by mortals. "
