Don't call me evil god

Chapter 848: Beware
A few minutes later.

Prince Fradin shook his head in confusion.

Subconsciously, I took out the envelope again and confirmed the sender's name.

"It's Brother Lei Yangke, right?"

The content of the letter made Fradin feel helpless!
Rayank Eugene did provide the so-called method in his reply.

But after reading the whole article, Prince Fradin found that... he couldn't use this method!
“A good warrior never achieves great success. The best solution to a disaster is to eliminate it while it is still in the brewing stage.”

"I will personally assign and arrange the defense areas that the priests are responsible for, down to the streets and alleys, arrange for personnel to patrol daily, regularly confirm the list of permanent residents, and check and register every mobile person and new face."

"If cultists want to complete their disguise, they must have a living environment similar to others."

"They also have to eat, sleep, buy bread and eggs, collect rags for mending clothes, and hire dung pickers to clean up the accumulated excrement of life..."

"When someone's whereabouts are unknown, their schedule is disrupted, and their spending is unusual, there must be something wrong with them."

"If we investigate these people, we can often find a lot of valuable clues."

"Over time, there will naturally be no soil for evil to germinate."

"As for what you said about how to confirm the cultists' information and find out their whereabouts based on the debris left at the ritual site, I'm sorry, but I'm not good at this kind of thing."

"Perhaps you could consider deploying as many personnel as possible to be ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time."

"..."

Prince Fradin was completely numb.

The method provided by his elder brother Ray Yanke does have some merit.

It looks very similar to the "identity verification" system being implemented by the Church of Knowledge in Ceylon. It not only registers every person on this land, but also regularly checks their living conditions.

This can be used to determine whether someone is colluding with cultists or is a cultist in disguise.

But he can't use it!
On the one hand, time is tight and the task is heavy.

The cultists active in the Sheltering Plains simply stopped pretending and frequently performed sacrificial rituals, looking as if they were planning to cause trouble.

There was no time to investigate the situation of the people near the shelter plain one by one and find out who the suspicious elements were.

on the other hand.

Even if there is plenty of time, this method would be difficult for Prince Fradin to use.

the reason is simple.

Two words:
——No money!
Rayank Eugene's method seems simple, but in fact each step requires a lot of manpower!

Break down responsibilities down to the street level and conduct regular surveys and statistics.

In order to achieve this, hiring these people will definitely require money, a lot of money!
Otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve the effect described by Lei Yangke.

The capital of Starosh alone has a population of over a million, not counting the itinerant merchants, temporary workers, and peddlers;
Add to that the residents living in some small towns and cities in the Sheltering Plains, as well as the farmers in the villages, and the population number becomes an even more terrifying figure!
Register them all?
Do you need to review and check regularly?
The royal family simply cannot afford such high expenses.

Rayyank Eugene's situation is special.

He is a regional bishop, and the area he is responsible for has always been limited in size and has a small population.

Plus, the Glowing God Cult already has money.

This is the only way to support his "extravagant" behavior.

Want to replicate a similar operation in a place like the Sanctuary Plains without relying on the Cult of Radiance?

It's pure wishful thinking.

Prince Fradin couldn't help but sigh in confusion:
"The Crusaders... we really need their help! We didn't realize their importance before, but now that they're gone, many problems that didn't exist before have become difficult to solve!"

Thinking of this, Prince Fradin felt a little helpless. He could actually sense it.

His father, Kenreddin, was not so "trustful" of the Cult of the Light.

Or.

King Kenreddin has always been wary of the Cult of the Radiant Light.

For example, regarding the issue of the three border territories resisting the red tide of monsters, he insisted that the enthroned noble lords take command and manage all matters related to the war, and forbade delegating power.

As for the Crusaders and Radiant Priests, their role in the war is "support troops", which is somewhat similar to the role of mages.

For this reason, the response to the monster red tide has gradually evolved into a layered system of "ordinary soldiers of the King's Army as the main force, 'Knight' units as the elite core, and Crusaders, mages, etc. as emergency support."

The same is true near the royal capital.

Even though the Holy Land of Glory was not far away, King Kenredin insisted on using sheriffs hired by the royal family to manage the security of Starosh in cooperation with the palace guards, the royal capital guards and other troops.

As for the Glowing God Cult?

They have always had the right to assist and can cooperate in taking actions, but if they want to act alone, they must submit information such as the action plan in advance to the Royal Capital Security Bureau, or simply to the king himself, for application and reporting.

therefore.

Shelter Plains has never conducted a "census" operation like the one described by Rayyank Eugene.

King Kenredin does organize a population survey every three to five years, but the timeliness of the data is hard for Fradin to describe.

It's been such a long time.

It is normal for people to have birth, aging, illness and death in their family.

Or they may be families or residents who have moved in recently.

These situations are not covered by population surveys.

"Why is father so wary of the Glorious Cult?"

The more Prince Fradin thought about it, the more helpless he felt.

If they follow Rayank Eugene's idea, the two sides can obviously work together.

The Cult of the Light has accumulated a great deal of wealth and has enough manpower to allocate to regular investigations.

Wouldn't it be just right to leave this kind of thing to them?
The cultists have no ground to survive.

The kingdom became more stable.

This is good for the royal family.

With a larger population and fewer disasters, more people should be willing to believe in the God of Light.

This is also a good result for the Cult of the Light.

It's clearly a win-win situation.

Why has it turned into this almost embarrassing situation now?
Looking at the mess of intelligence, clues, and analysis documents on the table, Prince Fradin felt tired.

"From the perspective of the Glorious God Cult, they can't all collude with the evil cultists and join hands to destroy the kingdom, right?"

"The Reyak Kingdom is the main source of their believers."

"Unless Archbishop Eugene is crazy, they would never do such a thing as digging their own graves!"
