Half a year later, the arbor not only successfully formed and trained a firearms team of 10,000 people.

At the same time, it was also published through the Witches Daily.

Fought a war of words with the Holy See for half a year.

A certain victory of public opinion has been initially formed.

Here's the thing, after the 20,000-strong army of the Holy See was defeated and fled half a year ago, the Pope was a little afraid, but it was obviously impossible for them to admit defeat and admit intimidation, and if they couldn't fight by force, then they could only find a way to start from what they were better at, that is, slander and splashing dirty water on public opinion, encouraging believers.

They are very skilled at this kind of thing.

Whether it was organizing the Crusade or dealing with witches later, they used this set.

Some small changes to the process.

That's also a change of soup and not a change of medicine.

The priests of the Holy See are all veterans in this area, and they also have regular worship links, which is very advantageous in the early stage of the public opinion war, even if they launch the daily witch newspaper in time.

That was no match for the power of the Holy See.

Because most of the commoners here are illiterate, and most of them don't know how to read, and they don't dare to let the literate nobles read to them, no matter how low the price of Qiao Mu's witch daily newspaper is, it is difficult to become a public opinion guide, and the Holy See can use a few or even dozens of priests in each town to continue to preach the content.

Although everyone is illiterate, it is still no problem to listen to others, so in the early days, Qiao Mu and these witches occupied an absolute disadvantage in public opinion, and later they bought some troubadours and let those troubadours act as the narrators of the witches' daily newspaper, which gradually broke back the disadvantage formed in the early days.

After the Witch Daily became large, Qiao Mu and they launched a basic small magic section, which has no other purpose, that is, to promote some basic scientific knowledge, expose some scientific knowledge that seems magical on the surface, but in fact, everyone can do it as long as they follow the steps.

It's like making money in an oil pot.

These contents undoubtedly dealt a great blow to the authority of the Holy See, even if the Holy See tried every means to prevent the publication of the Witch Daily, but the relevant content was still spread after all, and some capable people also tried to experiment.

and doubts about the behavior of the Holy See.

Begin to waver in faith.

That's why I said it earlier.

The reasons for the victory of public opinion have already been formed.

Originally, Qiao Mu and the others were still a little worried that after the firearms team on their side was formed, there would be no good excuse to go out to expand their territory, but they didn't expect that the Holy See itself would push out the excuse, so the Holy See announced a complete ban on the Witch's Daily, and encircled and banned all the troubadours who read the Witch's Daily on the fourth day.

The arbors declared that they had a duty and obligation to protect the troubadours, and to defend the basic rights of the Witches' Daily by force.

Officially declare war with the Holy See.

It's not the Holy See that used to defend itself.

Rather, it is a direct declaration of war.

Although Qiao Mu was not very afraid of the Holy See and the nobles uniting, but sometimes it was possible to save trouble, so in the early days, Qiao Mu did not have much trouble with those nobles and kings, but only used the excuse to attack the churches and priests and knights in various places, and drove a large army to go straight to the core of the Holy See of Light, that is, the core of the Temple of Light.

The kings and nobles were also quite knowledgeable, and they only made a slight block on the surface, and then let their soldiers quickly disperse and flee, making way for the arbors to walk.

Along the way, the arbor and the others didn't do much, and they passed through many areas smoothly.

At this time, although the Pope was angry and kept asking those kings to unite to help stop it, those kings still had a tacit understanding to delay time with various excuses and delay in helping, just hoping that they could really fight.

As the arbor and they continued to advance, all kinds of dirty methods and dirty incidents of the Holy See were all exposed by the arbor trees, and along the way, the arbor they have rescued many men, women and children from the cathedrals.

These things were all done by Qiao Mu and them in public, and there was no fraud and slander at all.

In addition, they also excavated various bones from some churches that had been abused to death, which undoubtedly greatly impacted the three views of civilians everywhere, and made their faith in the Holy See collapse, and even resentment.

As Qiao Mu and the others approached the base camp of the Holy See of Light, and revealed more and more dark sides of the Holy See of Light, the authority of the entire Holy See of Light in all countries was greatly attacked, and the power of the Holy See of Light in some places was spontaneously overthrown by the local people.

When Qiao Mu and the others led the army to the base camp of the Bright Church, there were only more than 10,000 knights gathered on the side of the Bright Church to guard, so what are the few people enough to do, and they will die after a while, and those who flee will escape, and the Bright Church will officially become history, and even Qiao Mu directly in front of the detained Pope, changed the four big characters of the Temple of Light to the four characters of the Temple of Knowledge.

That's not the end of it, though.

When Qiao Mu and the others attacked the Holy See of Light, those kings had already joined forces in private, preparing to have a praying mantis to catch cicadas, and the yellow finch was behind, in their imagination, as long as they could successfully eliminate the witch power, then they would not only be able to get rid of the constraints of the Holy See, but also be able to obtain a lot of knowledge from the witches.

Wouldn't it be beautiful when the time comes?

In order to achieve this, they mobilized many nobles to unite and form a coalition of nearly 400,000 to participate in the siege and suppression of witches.

It's a pity that Qiao Mu had expected it.

Several weapons of mass destruction were prepared, so they didn't worry about it at all, and directly took advantage of the poor technology to completely destroy the main forces of the major kings in only three days.

These 400,000 allied troops were already the main army of these surrounding kingdoms, and their death and rout undoubtedly directly destroyed the military power of those nearby nobles, making Qiao Mu's next plan smooth and almost unhindered.

In less than a year, she successfully destroyed all the kingdom forces and aristocratic forces, and won the hearts of the vast majority of ordinary civilians with the policy of equalizing the land, and officially established the Witch Empire.

An empire with the Temple of Knowledge at its core.

The so-called temple of knowledge is not dedicated to the goddess of knowledge or the male god, the temple of knowledge is just a name, in fact, it is more similar to the integration of educational institutions and libraries, it happens that there are many churches in various places, and it is a little too wasteful to demolish and rebuild, so they simply transform the churches around the world into sub-institutions of the temple of knowledge, and use those churches as the basic education sites for education and popularization, and open the wisdom of the people.

With the popularization of education, it is open to the public.

and arbor's unstinginess for knowledge.

The power of the Witch Empire is almost rocket-climbing, and it is rapidly reaching its peak, and even beginning to expand outward.

When Qiao Mu abdicated as the empress of the empire, he announced the abolition of the monarchy and prompted the witch empire to enter a democratic period.
