Don't call me evil god

Chapter 522: Ways to Bypass Restrictions

"These bases of the Church of the Supreme Truth are disguised as shops, houses, bars, hotels, and the like."

"The clerks may be merciful people or fellow travelers. They will run the store normally, but when the cultists arrive, they will immediately change their appearance and provide them with the corresponding tokens of this stronghold."

Pete summarized the information about the 47 strongholds.

Miranda frowned and said in embarrassment: "Blitzkrieg...it's a bit difficult."

Stone Fort is not the headquarters of the Church of Seeking Knowledge. It is the home ground of the Church of Supreme Truth, and the believers of Seeking Knowledge are playing away games.

Although the goblin captain Ronald can drive the Golden Windbreaker to transport people to the Stone Fortress, not everyone is willing to come here. There are still many believers who are not strong enough to stay in the Dark Forest to develop.

Therefore, the number of people from the Church of Seeking Knowledge currently active in Stone Fort is actually only a few hundred people, and many of them are at level 1 or 2.

Although this number of people can easily take down a stronghold in a blitzkrieg.

The problem is that the Church of the Supreme Truth has 47 strongholds near the Stone Fort!
If several hundred people were evenly distributed, the number of people needed to attack each stronghold would be only 7 or 8.

That's not enough.

For example, the Hope Blanket.

Although he is just a dwarf clerk on the surface, he is also a warlock.

The tapestries in the shop can be activated into various warlock spells at any time.

With the arrangement and accumulation of home positional warfare, he will be able to exert strength far beyond his normal level.

An offensive is always more difficult than an encounter battle.

The latter is when neither side is prepared and it all depends on improvisation and some luck.

The former is a matter of hard power.

The strength of both sides is clear to see. If they can win, they can win. If they can’t win, they can’t win.

Pete and his men couldn't defeat the Blood Fang Gang one by one like they did with the Blood Fang Gang.

The Bloodfang Gang is just a loose gang organization whose members have little contact with each other and are very indulgent.

Even if an entire base of people were missing, they might think that these people had gone somewhere to have fun and forgot about time.

The Church of the Supreme Truth operates in a strict and orderly manner with clear layers and each link is closely linked.

If there is a problem in any step, people in other links will quickly notice that something is wrong, and then start an investigation or even become alert.

"We can't defeat them one by one, and if we divide our forces we won't have enough strength - what should we do then?!" Brandon felt overwhelmed as he listened to the discussions of the others.

He didn't understand all the twists and turns, he just wanted to know where to go and how many to chop.

Pete rubbed his chin and thought for a while.

"I was thinking about those merciful ones."

"After being reshaped... well, they are indeed pitiful victims. Even their thoughts and wills have been twisted into the appearance of the Supreme Truth, and they will obey orders unconditionally."

"But maybe this could be a loophole we can exploit?"

Gail raised an eyebrow.

He probably guessed what Pete was thinking.

"You mean to use our status as fellow travelers to issue orders to those merciful ones and ask them to voluntarily provide us with a sufficient number of tokens?"

Pete nodded: "Yes, I do have this idea, but..."

"...You haven't figured out what kind of command you need to use to bypass the command restrictions set by the messenger, right?" Gale answered quickly.

Pete raised the dwarf's thick, strong thumb.

"Completely correct!"

In the Realm of Truth, the instructions given by the "Messenger" to the dwarves who had just been brainwashed were flawless.

God's merciful ones cannot do anything that harms the Church of the Supreme Truth.

The God of Mercy will prioritize the interests of the Supreme Truth Church. The God of Mercy cannot actively reveal their identities to outsiders.

God's mercy cannot harm the messenger.

When commands conflict, the messenger's instructions take precedence.

……

These few points alone are enough to give Pete a headache.

Their current status in the Church of the Supreme Truth is just that of fellow travelers.

It can't be said that in order to control these brainwashed dwarves, Pete and the others must first find a way to become messengers of the Church of the Supreme Truth, right?

Is that reasonable?!
In that case, does it mean that the righteous Church of Knowledge has eliminated the threat of the Evil God Church, or is it just an internal struggle within the Evil God Church?
On the surface, there are only two ways for outsiders to obtain the token without causing conflict.

Pete wanted to find a third way to get enough tokens without causing conflict or alerting the envoys.

The first obvious way is to become one of the unlucky ones who are chosen.

In a sweet dream, or after being kidnapped and knocked unconscious, a token is stuffed into your mouth, and you are directly summoned to the realm of truth, where you are forced to preach and brainwash.
But this method has a time interval.

That pyramid-shaped altar of flesh and blood can only be activated once a month.

Pete and his friends just experienced it themselves.

If you want to use this method, you will have to wait another month.

The second obvious method is to adopt the approach of “talent introduction”.

Reina actually triggered this method by accident.

She revealed her identity as a warlock.

The Church of the Supreme Truth is also in short supply of warlocks.

Although demons are constantly searching for their contractors in the mortal world, this does not mean that warlocks are everywhere.

Quite the contrary, mortals of the warlock class are extremely rare.

Other mortals do not have Norwen to protect their souls, so even if they accidentally open the Book of Curse, their souls may be sucked into hell and die, and they will have no chance of becoming warlocks.

The Church of the Supreme Truth wants to maintain the stable operation of 47 bases, which means they need at least dozens of warlocks!

Why is each stronghold only summoned once a day, instead of performing the [Summoning Ceremony] all the time, where anyone can be pulled over as long as they hold the corresponding token?
It’s because there are too few warlocks!
Pete has confirmed it.

The Church of the Supreme Truth currently has a total of only 27 warlocks in Stone Castle, and Reina is the 28th.

There are only 16 people who can use the [Summoning Ritual].

Summoning each stronghold once a day is already the upper limit of the Stone Fort's operating capacity.

16 warlocks take turns and are divided into four groups. Except for those on duty in the Realm of Truth, the other groups are busy every day. After the warlocks in this stronghold cast the [Summoning Ritual] on time, they immediately have to rush to the next stronghold and wait for the corresponding time to arrive.

The "talent introduction" approach will not work for the Church of Knowledge in the short term.

Because they don't have that many warlocks.

Not all believers are like Reina, willing to sign a contract with the devil to obtain magic in order to go "undercover".

The devil's power is not as pure as that of a wizard or a priest.

What you get by signing the contract, in addition to power, is a devil who will sneer in your ear from time to time.

For example, when Reina was discussing with Pete and others, her thoughts were disturbed by the devil Raphael.

"Hey hey hey."

"Poor mortals, are you stumped by such a simple matter?"

Reina couldn't help but hear Raphael's mocking voice in her ears.
