No one could imagine that a group of people, who had been living at the bottom for a long time, would become so fanatical when they suddenly learned that they had the ability to break the rules. At first, some priests with ulterior motives set fire to the Lord's Mansion, which had not been built yet. Most of the priests were panicked. Although Han Jin had not occupied the Holy Crown City for a long time, he was still a dignified Lord, the supreme ruler of the Holy Crown City. What they did was too much! However, until the evening, Han Jin did not retaliate against them. Facts were always more persuasive than rumors. Many priests then realized that Han Jin was afraid!
To be able to make a feudal lord bow his head was an unimaginable achievement for many priests! Then, their courage erupted like a volcano. Schumann's people deliberately spread rumors and tried to incite everyone. But in the end, Schumann's people began to be afraid and tried to guide the priests' emotions. However, the situation was completely out of control.
This was closely related to their own quality. Before The Rising Sun Mountains fell, the process of selecting priests by the Holy See was very strict. The priests were required to have a firm faith and a certain range of knowledge. The priests were burdened with the task of spreading the doctrines. If they did not even know what was written in the doctrines, how could they spread the doctrines? And the doctrine, no matter how the philosophers praised or criticized it, was a tool for brainwashing or not. The words in the doctrine really told people to cherish their own kind, to be honest, and to be brave to sacrifice. Therefore, priests selected from regular channels might hurt another person or another group of innocent people because of their extreme beliefs, but they would never lose all their senses and become complete thugs.
But the priests in the Holy Crown City were different. In order to expand the Holy See's power as much as possible before Han Jin came back, the Holy See recruited believers without any standards, and completely used benefits as bait.
Come on, as a priest, you will become a member of the privileged class, and even have a certain immunity. What are you hesitating for? Come on …
It was conceivable that the priests recruited in this way were no longer of good quality.
When it was dark, a large number of priests rushed to the streets. Some of them were ready to attack several military camps in the Holy Crown City. They wanted to drive out all the forces that obeyed Raphael, and some were ready to occupy the City Hall. Theocracy was supreme. In the past, it was because that blasphemer Raphael had overestimated himself and wanted to fight against the Holy See. Now, of course, they would take back everything. Some priests even began to smash the surrounding shops. This was purely out of selfishness. Due to the sudden increase in the number of priests, the finances of the Holy See had problems. Therefore, the priests were given the right to collect donations from the merchants themselves. The problem was that the glory of God had not descended upon this area for a long time. The merchants could not avoid paying taxes to the Lord, but what was the Holy See worth? Moreover, many of the people who came to collect donations were originally hooligans on the streets. Only fools would pay.
And for many priests who were in a state of invincibility, it was a good opportunity for revenge!
If it was only the priests who made trouble, the scale would not be too big. But gradually, many believers also joined in. In this chaotic world, most people had a kind of hero plot. It was impossible to find a "good citizen" in the real sense. They lived honestly and succumbed to the shadow of the lord and the privileged class out of reverence for the high-end power. If they were to deal with those who were similar to themselves, they would never be timid.
Moreover, Han Jin had just led the army back to the Holy Crown City yesterday. A large number of troops were still stationed outside the city and did not enter the city, forming a temporary vacuum. The chaos spread out at an unimaginable speed. Schumann was the first senior official to find something wrong, and also the first one to respond. But his security team could not stop the tide of believers at all. Even he himself was injured in many places. Fortunately, those believers did not have standard weapons. At most, they attacked with sticks, hatchets, and dung forks. Otherwise, he would have been dead long ago.
Schumann originally thought that he could control six or seven hundred hooligans, but they became the main force of the whole chaos. Han Jin's silence made them see that Schumann was strong in appearance but weak in reality. Even the lord did not dare to do anything, Schumann was nothing!
The bright side of human nature could infect and inspire each other. The dark side could also spread like a virus. As long as a priest dared to loot a shop, the others would not restrain their greed. As long as a priest dared to kill, the others would raise their crude weapons.
The Elysian Night was still brightly lit. Although the steward Hallister had been missing for a long time, he had shown a strong management ability and gradually formed a pattern in the Elysian Night. Schumann, who temporarily took over the Elysian Night, did not need to change anything. He was only responsible for keeping watch and counting the money. And everyone knew that the boss behind the Elysian Night was the lord Raphael. No one dared to take advantage of him, and Schumann did not need to worry about being deceived.
Eight tall girls stood at the entrance of the Elysian Night, smiling sweetly as they welcomed every guest. In the eyes of passersby, they were all dirty because they were the maids of the Elysian Night, the kind that could be slept with as long as one paid. Of course, they would not be clean. However, the reality was slightly different from what people imagined, and the word 'dirty' was not easy to describe. Since Dismark's era, the Elysian Night had taken the high-end route. If one wanted to play a full set here, the cost would be huge. Only a small number of people could afford it, such as nobles, high-grade professions, officials, and so on. Even these people could not come every day. Otherwise, even if they were rich, they would not be able to afford it. The Elysian Night was very lively, but among the thousands of guests, most of them came to drink, eat, or enjoy the singing and dancing to show their status. They were regulars! The number of maids in the Elysian Night had also reached several thousand, and this was after all the elves were sent back to the captive camps. Of course, there would be more in the past. Most of the maids could not win the favor of the guests. This was easy to understand. If the guests wanted to play to their heart's content, there would be at most a few hundred or even a few thousand maids lining up. If one was not the best, it would be impossible to get on the Elysian Night. Fortunately, Hallister had set a basic salary, which was enough for their expenses and saved up quite a bit. Some of the maids had stayed here for more than half a year and could even maintain their chastity. If one had to say that their bodies were dirty, that would be a bit far-fetched. Of course, this also had to do with Hallister's management style. In the past, such maids would have long been sold off or treated as delicacies by the manager.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in the distance and rushed toward the Night of Bliss. When the girls saw the crowd, they were a little surprised. It was common for nobles to call their friends and go to the Night of Bliss for fun. However, it was only a few people or a dozen people together. It was very rare to see a group of thousands or even hundreds of people.
When the crowd got closer, the maids could see that the guests all had ferocious expressions and were carrying all kinds of weapons in their hands. There was only lust in their eyes.
"Charge!" A frenzied shout suddenly erupted from the crowd. Then, all kinds of weapons were brandished at the same time. Their speed suddenly increased as they rushed towards the Elysian Night's entrance.
The maids turned pale with fright and turned to flee. Fortunately, there were no high heels in this world, and they were wearing revealing clothes that didn't affect their speed. In addition, they were familiar with the terrain. In the blink of an eye, they ran up the stairs and disappeared without a trace. However, one of the maids tripped on the stairs and fell. When she fell, her knees hit the smooth stone floor. Two bruises immediately appeared on her face and she couldn't stand up anymore.
The clergy and believers rushed into the Elysian Night. The stone floor was polished to the point that it was like a mirror, the magical lamps emitting a magnificent light, and all kinds of crystal chandeliers hanging from the sky. The spacious corridors and walls were inlaid with all kinds of jewelry and gold. All of these left the clergy and believers dumbfounded. They even felt a little inferior. However, in the blink of an eye, they became even angrier. Why did they come to the Elysian Night? It was to break all the unfairness, or to prove that they also had the right to enjoy the same life as the nobles. Now, they wanted to use force to take revenge for the discomfort caused by this magnificent scene.
One of the believers rushed up and smashed the magical lamp closest to him with a wooden stick. With a crash, the priceless magical lamp turned into countless pieces and fell to the ground. The rest of the clergy and believers also rushed up and attacked everything that symbolized luxury in their sight. Some of them even used their fingers to pick at the decorations on the wall and stuffed them into their pockets. There was no need to feel guilty, because others were doing the same thing.
There were also some believers who walked towards the maid who fell down with a hideous smile. What they wanted to do most was to satisfy the desire of the lower half of their body. However, no one dared to actually do it. Smashing, looting, and burning were understandable. They could explain it away as resisting the tyranny of Lord Raphael, but this kind of thing couldn't be explained away. However, beating and killing a young and beautiful life brought about another kind of satisfaction.
"Who the f * ck dares to mess around in this place?!" With a shout, a group of neatly dressed professionals appeared. They stood on the balcony and looked down at the believers.
"Kill them!" The believers shouted. They even dared to burn down the lord's mansion, and it was fine even if it was burned down. Who would be afraid of these thugs?!
The professionals all drew their weapons, but their eyes were focused on the burly man in the middle, waiting for orders. The burly man frowned, seeming to be in a difficult position. The people in front of him were clergy and believers, not ordinary people. Even their manager, Hallister, had been captured by the Holy See. If he really killed a few of them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The believers below didn't care what the burly man was thinking. They had already rushed up the stairs like a tide.
"Save the little girl first, quick!" The burly man shouted. There were thousands of maids here, and he couldn't remember the names of all of them. However, there was only one whose life was threatened. Of course, his brothers would understand what he meant.
The professionals were just about to rush down when they suddenly saw a blur in front of their eyes. Dozens of wooden sticks and pitchforks flew towards them, mixed with a dozen burning torches.
"Bastard!" The burly man was furious. He pushed his companions away and rushed up with his sword. He didn't care about the wooden sticks and pitchforks, but he couldn't be careless with the torches that were flying towards him. The decorations inside the Night of Bliss could be described as an inch of gold. If it really caused a fire, he would be done for!
Silver sword light flowed out like water, proving that the burly man was an expert. At least, he had the Lightning Fighting Technique. The dozen or so torches of the opponent's fell at different points. Some flew over the heads of the professionals, some hit the wall first, and then fell down the stairs. However, the moment the sword light bloomed, it almost hit all the torches at the same time. The blazing flames were immediately scattered, and the torches were also smashed into pieces. However, the splashes of oil couldn't be controlled. They stuck to the walls and fell between the floors, leaving countless stains.
The burly man grimaced and took a deep breath. Who would bear the responsibility if the lord wanted to punish them?
The believers had already caught the maids who couldn't walk, but because the burly man in front of them had displayed great strength, they didn't dare to act rashly. Amidst the screams, they dragged the maids and hurriedly retreated, exchanging glances with each other.
"Let her go!" The burly man barely controlled the anger in his heart and coldly said: "Then get out of here immediately. I won't pursue what happened today, otherwise …"
"Fuck you!" Some of the believers immediately cursed. They were invincible in the lord's manor, and they were also invincible here. Naturally, they wouldn't be convinced.
"Brothers, don't be afraid, that guy is just trying to scare us!"
"Come here, come here!" some of the believers shouted while jumping up and down.
The burly man straightened the long sword in his hand, but his body remained where it was.
The believers at the front of the line couldn't help but take a step back. In fact, both sides didn't have much confidence. One side was afraid of the other's strength, and the other side didn't dare to really hurt anyone. But seeing that the burly man didn't move, the believers began to curse again. "Set fire, burn this place!" a believer shouted.
"You dare?!" the burly man roared.
"Set fire … set fire …" Hearing the reminder of their companions, the believers' emotions suddenly became excited. If they were asked to attack the burly man, they really wouldn't dare. To them, the burly man was a terrifying lion, but when it came to setting fire, it became much easier.
Completely ignoring the burly man's roar, torches were thrown to the side of the wall one after another. Some were even hung on the crystal chandelier, burning the gorgeous ceiling. The professionals immediately became panicked. The Night of Bliss was not a fortress, and there were no defensive facilities. If this continued, there would be a disaster.
At this moment, a burly figure strode in from the door. The huge sword in his hand spun like a windmill, and the believers who were caught off guard were cut down in groups. Although the person didn't use any fighting skills, he had the advantage of being tall and long. The huge sword in his hand was big and heavy enough. With a swing of the sword, he could easily cut down several believers.
There were not only believers here, but also priests. However, most of the priests were selected by these geniuses, and almost none of them practiced light magic. The only difference between them and the believers was that the latter had their own jobs and had to donate their 'faith' every month. The former, on the other hand, worked for the Holy See and had to obey the Holy See's orders. In terms of strength, they were all ordinary people, and there was no way they could resist the slaughter of real professionals.
Miserable cries and sorrowful cries were endless. The terrified believers and priests all moved to the sides and leaned against the wall, trembling. Not everyone had the right to challenge the rules. Reality had taught them a terrible lesson. However, they might not have the chance to learn from their experience.
"You … Are you crazy?!" The burly man was half surprised and half frightened. A tragedy had happened here, and if the higher-ups wanted to punish him, he would have to take responsibility too!
"Master's orders." Morrisons laughed. "Kill all the thugs!" While Moxinke was talking, the bright red liquid flowed down along the huge sword and dripped on the floor and the desperate maid. In the blink of an eye, Moxinke had killed more than 20 followers by himself. The ground was littered with broken corpses and shrill howls, but it didn't affect him at all. His ugly big face was still smiling happily.
In fact, none of Han Jin's friends, including Morrisons and Sassoux, were kind people. Han Jin had already noticed it when they first met. Even Sassoux, who looked the least threatening, was not afraid of being stained with the blood of others, as long as there was a good reason to do so. The reason why they had been quiet until now was because of their individual strength. They did not have the chance to show their strength.
"Master? Who are you? "The burly man asked in surprise.
"You don't even know me? Remember, my name is Morrisons! " Morrisons said proudly as he helped the maid up. It had been a long time since he was in the limelight. Morrisons felt a sense of pride that he had not felt in a long time. He was in a good mood, and even spoke to the maid politely. "Are you alright?"
The poor maid had almost died, and she had seen Morrisons University kill people everywhere. She was lucky that she did not faint on the spot. How could she answer Morrisons' question?
"So you are from Morrisons University!" The burly man was overjoyed. He shouted, "You guys, put out the fire immediately. The rest of you, follow me. Kill them all! Kill these bastards!! " As soon as he finished speaking, the burly man jumped down from the balcony and raised his silver sword. Morrisons also raised his greatsword and rushed towards the believers.
Compared to the believers who went to cause trouble at the Night of Bliss, the believers who went to attack Riptide's original camp woke up earlier. Of course, they died faster.
Chipango tore a piece of cloth and wiped the blood off his dagger. He then put the dagger away and turned to Sunier.
"What is going on?" Sunier frowned and asked.
Chipango's subordinates were sweating profusely. They did not even know what was going on. Why did they start killing people without any explanation? What they didn't know was that Sunier had her own way of doing things. If you were here to reason with her, she would also reason with you. But if you were here to kill or burn, she would definitely attack at the first moment. Why would she care about those believers who were rushing in with their weapons and shouting?
