Chapter 711: Turning Point

Enoa had always done what she had said, but in fact, before the sun had gone down, the bodies of more than thirty people, including Dai Leen and the group of freedom messengers, had already been hung from the street lamps outside the city gates. For a while, I could see corpses fluttering in the wind everywhere, and under the glow of the blood-red sunset, it looked more and more terrifying.

It didn't take long for the scene that happened in Passus to spread throughout the Eagle Plateau. Frankly speaking, Jenn's deeds this time are not amazing, compared to what he did to the Shining Gold Empire and the Shining Nation before, this time Jenn only executed more than thirty people who were directly involved in the instigation and leadership of the demonstration, as for the others, they were basically imprisoned by him. It may not seem like a serious matter in itself, but for those nobles, it has unprecedented significance.

That's the attitude of the Templar Order!!

You know, before that, these "messengers of freedom" were running around like rats, inciting those people to demonstrate. It was a headache for the nobles, if they had changed the previous ones, they could have dispersed these people directly, but the other party kept claiming that they were members of the Free Army of National Salvation, and the Templar agreed with their ideas, if these nobles dared to be rude to them, then they would go to the Templar Order, and the Templar would give them sanctions!

I have to admit that this statement frightened many nobles, as members of the Northern Alliance, of course they knew that the damned Free Salvation Army was supported by the Templar Order, and what they were clamoring about about was indeed what the Templar Order valued. The average aristocracy didn't want to clash head-on with the Templars, so they had to carry it in the face of these damn demonstrations. But deep down. Those aristocrats have long been tired of these bastards' incitement to the streets at every turn. If it weren't for the Templar's face, they would have done it to those bastards a long time ago.

But now. The bastards got to Pacus, and Jenn responded decisively. This made the nobles in other parts of the Eagle Plateau simply excited. For a while, the nobles ran around telling each other, smiling. Although Jenn didn't kill too many people, his actions represented an attitude. An attitude towards these rats!!

If Jenn was just an ordinary nobleman, then if he did, others might wait and see for a while. But Jenn wasn't an ordinary noble lord. First of all, he was a nobleman, and secondly, he was also the bishop of the Eagle Plateau -- although little is known about the latter status, the nobles can always find out if they have the heart to investigate.

Jenn did it, which meant that there was no approval within the Templar Order with what they were doing. In that case, then they can naturally do it too! Even if the Templar came to the door, wouldn't there still be Passus in front of him? That being the case, then what else do they have to fear?

For a while, the wind direction of the entire Eagle Plateau immediately changed.

Before the incident of Passus, there would be many people in almost every lord's city marching and demonstrating, and even blocked the door of the lord's mansion, throwing bricks and stones inside, and even taking the opportunity to smash and loot and burn from time to time. These lords and nobles have long endured the bastards who relied on the Templar's fox and tiger might. At this time, since Jenn made a move, they naturally did not have the slightest scruples, and immediately began to counterattack.

And for the demonstrators, their nightmare came without warning.

Bands of heavily armed soldiers appeared in front of them. Without hesitation, he launched an attack on the unarmed demonstrators in front of him, killing all those who dared to resist. And those who tried to resist were also taken directly to the prison dungeons, and the nobles would not just be counted as such. You know, they've been tormented enough by these bastards before. I didn't even dare to go out of the door, so I could only stay in my room all day and listen to the shouting of the people outside. These aristocrats have long been holding their breath in their hearts. At this time, they have finally found a backer, and they don't have a settlement after the autumn?

Soon. The processions were cleared, and those who participated in the demonstrations were either executed or imprisoned awaiting their sentences. The wind changes so fast that it's almost impossible to react.

And Oldman is even more so.

Not long ago, he had thought that he could use the power of the Templar to replicate the model of the Free Salvation Army in the rest of the Skar Federation. The previous actions of the nobles had strengthened Oldman's confidence, and he believed that the nobles would not dare to react too violently in a situation that might anger the Templars. However, what was happening in front of him completely turned Oldman's mind upside down, he did not expect his defeat to come so suddenly, and in just a few days, the members of the Free Salvation Army were almost wiped out. And less than one in ten can desperately escape back, which is so fast from heaven to hell that Oldman can't react at all. After listening to the reports of his men who had survived the attack, an indignant Oldman immediately approached the Templar and asked for an explanation.

"What's going on? Why is this happening? Can't you do anything about the innocent people who have fallen under the sword of those cruel nobles? ”

In the face of Oldman's angry questioning, Nadia uncharacteristically did not give an explanation immediately, instead, she frowned and stared at Oldman for a moment before answering.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Oldman, but we in the Templar Order can't do anything about this."

"Why?"

Hearing Nadia's answer, Oldman couldn't help but be stunned. He originally thought that if something so big happened, the Templar Order would definitely take action, and even if it was worse, he would show his attitude and deter the group of nobles. But he didn't expect Nadia to give himself such an unexpected answer, which made Oldman a little incomprehensible, but soon, Nadia gave the answer.

"It is true that those nobles launched an attack on the marching crowd. But they also have their own reasons. ”

"Whatever the reason! Isn't it bad enough to do something against an unarmed person? ”

"And in fact, they don't seem to be unarmed."

As she spoke, Nadia pulled out a document from her hand. With a slightly sad expression, he placed it in front of Oldman.

"According to the Templar's investigation, the procession did not cause any problems at first. But later. Things have changed. According to the paladins and clerics, there were numerous riots and brawls among the demonstrators. It has even implicated many innocent people......... Not only do they attack the surrounding buildings with stones and stone throws. In addition, many innocent citizens were implicated and seriously injured. And according to the report, there are even people who wantonly carry out robberies and other acts in the name of demonstrations........."

Speaking of this, Nadia also looked gloomy. In fact, her original thoughts were similar to Oldman's, but Nadia's ideas were not as radical as Oldman's, thinking of overthrowing the rule of the nobles through a few protests and demonstrations, but hoping that the nobles could face up to the power of ordinary people through these protests and demonstrations, and would not dare to act so unscrupulously in the future. It's a pity that the reality is that Nadia was slapped in the face. Those poor people who were supposed to be poor and fighting for their own survival have been transformed into hated robbers and bandits. They even rushed into the surrounding shops and taverns with impunity, taking whatever they wanted, and if anyone dared to complain about their behavior, they were either verbally abused or beaten. This is far beyond what Nadia can accept.

Why is this happening?

Nadia was also puzzled, and it stands to reason that those who were killed were just as poor as the demonstrators. There is hardly any difference between them. But why were the demonstrators able to lay such a heavy hand on them? Another thing that Nadia did not make clear in front of Oldman was that after this conflict, there were many complaints and doubts within the Templar Order about the actions of the Free Salvation Army. Many of them believe that such demonstrations, while they may seem imposing, could easily turn into riots and riots. Because those who join the demonstrations can't be vetted one by one, and if anyone tries to fish in troubled waters, it will turn into a terrible atrocity. In fact, this is indeed the case in some areas. In this case, there has been a lot of opposition in the Templar Order. This approach by the Free Salvation Army was considered inappropriate. Instead of making the aristocracy face up to the demands of the people, it made the situation worse and worse. And that's exactly what Nadia is. This was the decision to refuse Oldman's request.

"That is, there is nothing you can do about it?"

Oldman didn't seem to care about what Nadia said, he didn't even look at the piece of paper that Nadia had placed in front of him, but just frowned and asked. In response to Oldman's inquiry, Nadia just nodded.

"Yes, there's nothing we can do."

"Well, I'm going to report it to the Templar headquarters, these things are crazy! Maybe there will be some skirmishes in it, but in any case, it's a bunch of civilians!! They are not professionally trained soldiers, and they are not powerful mages! Even if they cause a certain amount of riot, they will not be treated like this!! I hope the Templars will do something, especially the Lord of Passus!! I have enough evidence to prove that he took the initiative to order the soldiers to kill without any threat from the civilians, and there are many children among them!! ”

As he spoke, Oldman took out a recording crystal from his bosom and placed it on the table. Hearing Oldman's words, the corners of Nadia's mouth twitched slightly. She reached out to pick up the recording crystal, sighed softly, and placed it back on the table.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Oldman, I really can't."

"Why ?!!"

Hearing this, Oldman finally couldn't help shouting anymore, he slammed his "bang" on the table, and then glared at the paladin in front of him, revealing an extremely angry expression.

"He killed our emissary and laid down innocent civilians, is it up to the Templars to sit idly by and watch such a demon do whatever it wants?"

In the face of Oldman's words, Nadia's expression suddenly became quite strange, and she stared at Oldman like this, but she didn't say a word. Soon, Oldman was also stared at by Nadia's strange gaze, he frowned, and then opened his mouth to ask.

"What? Is there anything wrong with what I'm saying? ”

"No......... There's nothing wrong with that......... But ........."

As she spoke, Nadia also hesitantly organized her language, as if she didn't know how to explain it. Eventually, she sighed and decided to tell the truth.

"In fact, a proposal had already been submitted by the Templar Order, but it had been rejected by the Bishop of the Diocese. According to the rules of the Templar Order, if the bishop of the diocese vetoes it, the proposal is automatically nullified. So even with this record crystal, things won't change. ”

"What ?!!"

Hearing this, Oldman was shocked.

"Why did the diocesan bishop veto this proposal? Why did he do it? Didn't he know that this was for the tiger? Who is he? Nadia, tell me the name of that bastard and I'm going to talk to him personally!! ”

In the face of Oldman's roar, Nadia's expression became even more strange. Seeing Nadia's reaction, Oldman was obviously quite dissatisfied. He glared at Nadia viciously, clearly not understanding why she had such a hellish expression.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Who the hell is that bastard? Could it be that he has so much power in the Templar Order that he can single-handedly cover the sky? ”

"No......... But that person, you should know ........."

Saying this, Nadia's expression became even more eerie.

"Because the diocesan bishop of the Eagle Plateau is none other than the lord of Passus, Jenn. Mr. Pachanommens. ”
