What did Mu Na do?
To put it simply, she betrayed and cheated.
But calling her a traitor was a bit over the top. She wasn't vicious enough, and her actions could only be considered half-baked.
To put it simply, she was a snake and a rat. She wanted to betray, but she didn't have the ability to do so. She wanted to be loyal, but she couldn't control her hands and heart.
Some time ago, when Cape Town was in a period of political chaos, the various leaders of Cape Town were fighting both openly and secretly for the position of city lord. Naturally, the various factions of Vila Nova Dônia were involved as well.
Even Rorschach himself had met with the various candidates as a representative. He even took out important reports for reference. At the time, he was truly exhausted.
When it came to reading people, Rorschach's ability was even more ridiculous than his ability to read minds. Nobody was able to hide their true political ideologies and visualizations in front of him. Those who refused to meet with him were treated as having ulterior motives, and were directly kicked off the list of candidates.
But even so, the personal information of the candidates gave him a headache. There really weren't many good people among them.
Those who had outstanding abilities were often nationalists who were hostile to outsiders. Those who weren't hostile were often a bunch of mush that couldn't be helped. Those who were overly selfish would never be at ease. Who knew when they would sell themselves to an Evil God or an outsider who offered a higher price?
The result was that the various churches were hesitant and deliberating. Even though the list of candidates had been confirmed, they still considered and considered … and then the Evil Gods came.
Yep, there was nothing wrong with it. As usual, the old problem wasn't solved, and a new problem would appear after a little delay.
Plus, there was the high-ranking Cape Town official who led the fleet to attack Vila Nova Dônia, as well as a series of new agreements between the two cities. This matter was delayed.
The funny thing was that there was even a faint consensus within Novodonia: "Just let Cape Town maintain the status quo. It's better for us to continue being chaotic like this."
This reflected the reality of the Halet Wilderness. The new leader of Cape Town, Vila Nova Dônia, could not only intervene, but also vaguely had the ability to decide the final candidate … Compared to the scene of Cape Town five years ago, it really made people feel a lot of emotions.
If outsiders did not interfere, the warlords and politicians of Cape Town, who were in a delicate balance, would find it difficult to determine the final victor. No one was a fool, and fighting too hard would only benefit outsiders.
However, if Cape Town remained in a state of half-division and half-internal strife for a long time, Vila Nova Dônia would be safer and wealthier. Naturally, Cape Town would be at a disadvantage, and the Seymour residents of Cape Town would suffer as well.
In the dark side of their hearts, the various churches of the Aishi People were looking forward to such a development. The endless stream of immigrants would bring new blood and endless labor force to the new city, and Cape Town's increasingly chaotic situation would make the Seymour residents of Vila Nova Dônia feel more at ease, and feel that their choice was correct.
However, there was someone who couldn't stand it anymore. That's right, it was her — the former Saintess Mu Na.
As the former spiritual leader of the Seymour people and the chosen successor of Mother Marsha, Mu Na had always been the leader of her people since she was young. She had always cared for every single one of her people with the spirit of Mother Mary … She was also commonly known as the chosen one, the king of keyboard warriors, the proud dragon.
However, her luck was truly terrible. She had once been reduced to a war slave. Although she didn't suffer any misfortune under the protection of the previous city lord, the humiliation and loss of honor were extremely heavy.
For a political figure, this could be said to be a fatal wound, which was why she was later exiled.
She had always had high standards, and even looked down on Rorschach who was born ordinary and didn't have much ambition. As the future leader of the Seymour people, she had always viewed outsiders with hostility. Although she carefully hid it, how could she possibly deceive Rorschach?
Her political philosophy seemed to contradict Mother Marsha's and the previous city lord's … Actually, this was a normal political philosophy of the younger generation.
After all, as the master of this wasteland, it was natural for her to have the mentality of being the boss. The previous city lord and Mother Marsha both had such a political philosophy in the past. It was only after they traveled to the cities of the Aishi People and had a deep understanding of their culture and philosophy that they decided to develop a path of coexistence and integration.
To put it bluntly, it was "the difference in power is too great. Since we can't win, we should just surrender. At the very least, we'll suffer less." But if one thought about it in detail, it sounded more reasonable.
"Our opponent's civilization is several generations ahead of ours. It's impossible to defeat them. Our opponent's culture is very inclusive, and they need our human resources. They have fewer people, so they naturally need us to join them. This is a path of coexistence and win-win for us. There's no such thing as one side swallowing the other. Besides, according to the Aishi People's culture and philosophy, we're all blood brothers of the same origin."
In the eyes of the previous city lord and Mother Marsha, this was the path of development that was most realistic.
However, in the eyes of the new generation who hadn't come into contact with the Aishi People's cities and civilizations, this path of development appeared abnormally conservative and timid. The conservative faction's political philosophy was ridiculed and attacked by the radical faction on various occasions.
However, as time passed, the radical faction's representative, Sydeen, died, while the conservative faction's representative, the Mount Sainte faction, was completely integrated into Sydeen City. The Aishi People's culture and cities became more and more prosperous. It seemed that the conservative faction had won a complete victory.
At this crucial moment, Mu Na, who was conservative but had her heart in the radical faction, took an extremely irrational action.
As the person in charge of the Game Church in Cape Town, she had a lot of power in her hands. When the Vila Nova Dônia board of directors decided to "maintain the status quo and not interfere with the selection of the mayor of Cape Town," she couldn't bear to see the chaos in Cape Town continue. Therefore, she used the Game Church's power in Cape Town to secretly take action.
She chose a target to invest in and used the Game Church's public opinion as a tool to promote him. She even released news that the people of Vila Nova Dônia valued him and saw him as the future leader of Cape Town.
It had to be said that Mu Na was very smart. She learned the Aishi People's tricks very quickly, and her actions were indeed effective.
Everyone knew that the Aishi People had the final say in this wasteland. Since the Aishi People had already confirmed that he was the future king of Cape Town, his chances of successfully reaching the top were very high.
This world was very realistic. Everyone knew that helping someone in need was better than helping someone in need. However, most people would still choose the side with the advantage, and these choices could tilt the balance.
Especially now that Vila Nova Dônia and Cape Town had just signed a new contract. In a sense, Cape Town had completely become the vassal of the Aishi People. The Aishi's decision had even more weight.
In just a short week, the strength of the candidate, who was already quite strong, increased exponentially. He attracted investors and political investors in all aspects. He really did have the attitude of a king.
In the end … Rorschach's door was blocked.
Rorschach was inexplicably questioned by the twenty-person board of directors as to why the Game Church had violated the previous agreement and interfered in Cape Town's internal affairs and political struggles. Rorschach was dumbfounded by all kinds of evidence and photos.
This kind of behavior made the Game Church very passive, and Rorschach himself was extremely embarrassed.
The Game Church's propaganda tool really made the candidate close to the reality of ascending to the throne. This made the other churches even more vigilant against the Game Church and Rorschach.
It was very passive, very passive. Rorschach was very angry at that time. He also guessed who was so reckless and who would be so stupid.
These things couldn't stand up to scrutiny in the first place. When he went back to investigate, just as he guessed, Mu Na was exposed.
Rorschach clearly remembered that this wasn't the first time. Previously, she had secretly interfered in Cape Town's internal affairs and was warned by Rorschach himself.
This time, taking advantage of the fact that the Game Church was fully focused on Novodonia's affairs, she quickly cut the Gordian knot. What's done can't be undone.
Now, she was only going all the way and not directly executing the person because she didn't lie. That person was indeed someone that all the factions in Vila Nova Dônia had high hopes for. He was the "appointed" candidate for the city lord.
Feng Beins, the leader of the Steel Bone Brotherhood in Cape Town, was a man of action and a revolutionary. He didn't have any hostility towards the Aishi People. On the contrary, he took the initiative to absorb the culture and technology of the Aishi People. He was a very practical person and was also the target that Rorschach had personally chosen.
He didn't have any obvious political leanings, but he was pragmatic and his actions were highly compatible with the conservatives.
It was also because of Rorschach's choice that this candidate was finally finalized by the 20-person board of directors. However, due to the changes in the situation, the members of Novodonia's board of directors lost interest in interfering in Cape Town, and this plan was indefinitely put on hold.
A long time ago, the Game Church had already invested a lot in him. Even at this time, he still thought that Mu Na was following orders and really wanted to promote him to the position.
This wasn't the worst outcome. If he really was promoted, the Game Church and the 20-person board of directors would be able to accept it.
If it were another candidate, Su Nanna would have already taken action and taken Mu Na's head with her own hands.
However, this was still a kind of betrayal. Rorschach originally thought that she had already led a group of people to become independent and was ready to pick up the butcher's knife to wipe them out. In the end, he found out that it was a fake order and that everyone else was kept in the dark.
This was very simple. It was enough to settle the score with her alone.
Mu Na wasn't a fool. She also found a way out for herself and even secretly hooked up with the Eagle Crown.
Her idea seemed to be very persuasive. On that night, the Game Church and the Eagle Crown broke off relations. The Game Church could be considered to have switched from a friendly alliance to an enemy of the Glorious Scroll. Betrayers were always the most hated. Even if the Eagle Crown didn't plan to take revenge, they would definitely be dissatisfied and resentful.
Under such circumstances, coupled with the fact that her grandmother, Martha, was working for the Eagle Crown, they would cover for her for her grandmother's sake. At least, they would see that she was the manager of Cape Town's intelligence station and had a lot of valuable information in her head.
She was very clear about the favors and benefits, but she didn't expect the development of the situation to be completely beyond her imagination.
Not only did her grandmother not cover for her, she even angrily reprimanded her for being stupid and acting on her own accord. "How can I have such a stupid granddaughter like you?" "Do you know what this means to us Mount Sainte?" "You gave that person a reason to raise his butcher's knife!"
Mu Na's idea wasn't obviously wrong. Under normal circumstances, it wasn't a big deal for an enemy organization to take in a traitor. As an intelligence officer and a high-ranking member like Mu Na, she was the most valuable traitor. However, she was wrong about one thing. Martha, who was experienced and knowledgeable, could see it, but Mu Na, who was locked up in Cape Town, couldn't see it at all. It was the subtle relationship and bottom line between the New God's Church.
As competitors, the New Gods' churches fought quite fiercely against each other. But no matter what, they were all allies in Eich. With the Main Gods of Eich supervising them, it was forbidden for them to openly kill each other. There were some things that could be done, but there were some things that couldn't be touched.
Taking in the other party's traitors was one of the bottom lines. Otherwise, this competitive relationship could easily evolve into a life and death battle. "You actually dared to harbor a traitor who killed two hundred of my men!", "It's fine if you planted a spy among us, but you even ruined our plan and killed our friends."
Especially during this period of time, many churches had sent spies to each other. In the end, the two churches would become mortal enemies. The two sides would engage in a life-and-death battle in two different worlds. Under the background of the situation getting out of hand, this rule had gradually turned into an iron line.
This was undoubtedly an unspoken rule. Since Vila Nova Dônia didn't have any soil for traitors, nothing like this had happened before. Moreover, the Aishi People were relatively free to enter or leave the church. The locals had no way of understanding the Aishi People's hatred and disdain for traitors.
Of course, when it came to unspoken rules, it depended on the individual's and the church's strength. If the difference in strength was too great, it was normal not to follow the rules. He could easily destroy you, so why would he talk about rules and reason with you? You want to complain? You'd better escape from being silenced first.
If it was two years ago, or even two months ago, the Eagle's Crown really might have accepted Mu Na. No matter how angry the Game Church was, they wouldn't fall out with the Eagle's Crown over this person.
Unfortunately, the Game Church was now ranked fifth on the board of directors. They were no longer weaklings. Even the Eagle's Crown didn't dare to ignore the Game Church's opinion.
Especially now that the board of directors of Vila Nova Dônia was 2: 2, the Game Church, ranked fifth, had the final vote in their hands.
Naturally, before the Church of Game could even react, the Eagle's Crown had already sent the dumbfounded Mu Na back to the church.
In this incident, the Game Church didn't suffer any losses. Instead, they gained Feng Beins' gratitude and trust.
However, since the betrayal had already happened, they couldn't ignore it just because it didn't cause any harm. Otherwise, wouldn't loyalty be too cheap and stupid?
Thus, Rorschach came.
He smiled, but he was actually in a good mood.
Marsha was right. "You gave that person a reason to raise their butcher's knife." Rorschach had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. It had been so long that he didn't have any expectations.
Now, it was an unexpected surprise that Mu Na had given him.
"By the way, our church's strongest knight has successfully completed a God's Descent. She will be integrating our military and battle groups. Miss Salia, please cooperate with her and quickly complete the handover of your battle groups."
Rorschach smiled as he said this. However, the three people's expressions turned ugly.
As a Paladin of the Temple, Salia was one of the higher-ups and core members of the church's military. She was also the one who controlled the entire Mount Sainte faction.
Originally, as a pure martial artist, she had no interest in politics. However, Rorschach liked her attitude. In the current situation, she was the most suitable person to stand in the military. If it was Mu Na, Rorschach wouldn't have agreed.
And no matter who became the military commander of the Church of Game, considering the high proportion of Seymour tribesmen within the church, they would definitely need a deputy like Salia to help out. Her position had always been stable, and the few Seymour tribesmen under her were all well trained.
But now, the situation had changed. Rorschach's meaning was clear. "As the price and punishment for Mu Na's betrayal, the Mount Sainte faction must hand over all military power."
Lynn's arrival might just be an excuse, but it was also a very timely and appropriate excuse.
Instantly, Mu Na's face turned pale. She finally understood the anger and despair her grandmother had felt when she said, "Do you know what this means to the people of Mount Sainte?"
The foolish her had done the most inappropriate thing at the most inappropriate time. She had personally given the reason to "attack the Mount Sainte faction and even break it up" to Rorschach, who had been waiting for a long time.
At this moment, Rorschach wasn't in a hurry at all. He turned his attention to the delicious pastries and patiently waited for the traitor's reply.
"Since you dared to betray us, don't you have the awareness to pay the price … Oh, I accidentally said what's on my mind again. Please don't mind me."
