Chapter 231: The rioting believers

Inside Altdorf, the White Wolf Knights saw that the emperor stayed indoors and had no intention of handing over the murderer, so they began to change their target and even intensified their efforts. Since there was no Terra church in the city, they turned their attention to the guards of the Jaeger caravan.

The White Wolf Knights vented their anger on the merchants and shops of the Jaeger Chamber of Commerce.

Fortunately, the Jaeger headquarters, which was protected by the caravan guards, had become a landmark of Altdorf.

The Chamber of Commerce directly bought a group of shops in a prime location and connected them together, and a headquarters was established and built by technical priests.

It is very gorgeous and strong, even comparable to a city wall. If Carl had not allowed it, this headquarters would even have been built into a fortress.

The Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters also became a gathering place for the Divine Emperor’s believers.

Inside is the only church in Altdorf.

Except for the headquarters, other Jaeger Chambers of Commerce suffered a lot. Everything in the store was turned into garbage by these mad White Wolf believers.

Those official White Wolf Knights also began to discover some problems.

"No... this is wrong, this is too abnormal!"

People's emotions are a bit too extreme!
An unknown force is spreading among Yurik's followers. This force is very secretive and has little or no effect on those who are powerful.

People with strong faith are protected by the gods they believe in, but it is particularly obvious to ordinary people whose emotions fluctuate violently.

This power does not directly affect a person's mind, but rather amplifies their emotions.

Unbeknownst to them, these followers of Yurik were releasing all the repression they had endured over the years, or even recently.

The believers' eyes began to turn red, and when they hurt the first person or broke the first object, they felt a constant sense of comfort in their hearts.

As more and more people fell into the frenzy, acts of violence became more and more rampant, and the targets of attack were no longer just the Chamber of Commerce, but other shops and passers-by also suffered.

Carl was standing on the wall of the palace, looking at the smoke rising from the city with a worried look on his face. It seemed that the situation was beginning to get out of his control.

"Let the army go. If things continue like this, there will be a riot."

Carl finally decided to send out the army.

With the participation of the city defense forces in the city and the provincial troops outside the city, the unrest began to be slowly suppressed. However, a considerable number of believers began to lose control of their behavior and even began to go beyond the limit.

Emile had returned to the city by now. He was dumbfounded. He had only been away for less than two days, so how come the believers and knights of his church had come into conflict with the soldiers of Rick's territory?

"Everyone stop it!"

Emir came to the temple immediately after entering the city. He shouted to the priests and knights here.

"High Priest! Everything is in chaos! For some reason the believers have become extremely violent! We can't stop them at all!" said the priest in the temple in panic.

Seeing that the priest here didn't seem to know what was going on, Emile immediately went to Karl's palace.

Karl breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Emil for the first time. As long as Emil came back, the situation might be under control.

Emile learned the whole story from Carl. He was very angry when he heard that two White Wolf Knights died in the conflict. He looked at the other party in the center of the vortex, which was Gulman.

"High Priest Emir, I think you should conduct a thorough investigation within your own ranks. There are cultists among those who provoke us!"

"What! How dare you slander us like this!" Emile immediately roared angrily. There are Chaos cultists among Yurik's followers. Are you kidding? Slander is absolutely slander!
"Slander! Look at Aldolf now. Don't you think the whole thing is weird?" Gulman said fearlessly. The scene at this moment had many similarities with what Gerhardt had told them.

The crowd could not control their emotions and became more and more violent. This was not the behavior of normal believers. It was the power of Khorne at work. After listening to Gurman's explanation, Emir calmed down. He still remembered what Yurik said to him. Maybe it was true? He did not believe that Yurik's followers would do such a thing for no reason. After all, the laws of the church were extremely strict.

Loving to fight does not mean liking violence.

"Then who do you think it is?"

"The Knight member named Klaus."

"Klaus?" Emil knew him. He was a leader among the younger generation in the high-level temple. Was he a cultist?
"If you don't believe me, I have a way to prove it. All you have to do is find it and bring it here alone."

"Emile, the chaos in Altdorf cannot continue like this. If Klaus is not a cultist, I will give you an explanation."

"All right."

Emile immediately sent people to look for Klaus in the city, but no matter how hard they looked, there was no sign of him.

The search was fruitless, and Emile had to quell the unrest on his own.

It really worked when Emile appeared in front of the rioting crowd.

The high priest of the church stood up, and the people who had lost their minds seemed to calm down. After they regained their senses, they looked at what they had done and felt a little overwhelmed.

"I order you as the high priest! Everyone return to the church! Anyone who continues to cause trouble and dishonors Yurik's name will be expelled from the church!"

Hearing this punishment the crowd began to lay down their weapons and return to the temple.

Carl and Emil stood together, both glad that the riot did not cause too serious consequences. However, Klaus's disappearance meant that the matter was not over yet. The death of the White Wolf Knight must be explained, otherwise even Emil's prestige would not be able to suppress the emotions of so many believers.

Carl, Emil Gurman and the other two arrived at the White Wolf Temple in Rialdorf together.

Emil continued to send people to look for Klaus. Klaus' sudden disappearance made Emil begin to believe Gulman's words. Otherwise, why would you disappear after such a thing?
"Emile, have you received Yurik's revelation?" Carl asked the most crucial question.

"The Great Winter Wolf agreed to your proposal, and I am willing to obey his orders, but now that this has happened, it will be difficult to move forward with this matter," Emile said worriedly.

At this critical juncture, allowing the enemy to enter your territory to preach is no different from slapping someone in the face and then kicking him.

"Lord Emil! Klaus has been found!" The followers outside the temple knocked on the door.

The three of them were very surprised to hear the sound outside. They didn’t expect that Klaus had found it!
"where is he?!"

"Sir! He is right outside the door!! Just..."

"Just outside the door? Just what?"

"He also has His Excellency Boris Eichmann with him."

"Boris Eichmann."

When Karl heard the name, he seemed to think of something.

"Is Emil the former High Priest of Ulric? Hasn't he always been in Middenheim? Why did he come here?"

"Here comes with ill intentions," Emile said softly.
