final hunt

Chapter 669
The power of the Holy Cult has been completely wiped out since the battle in Glory City.

Glory City will also be gloriously absent.This city will no longer have the lofty status it used to have, it will become no different from any other city in the kingdom.

At the same time, according to the opinion of the Kingdom government, the city will be renamed 'Wei Wang City', completely removing the influence of the holy religion from the name.

And the so-called "wei" character, of course, refers to Li Wei, which is his name.

The new Holy Light Church is still preserved.After all, within the Kingdom, believers of the Holy Cult are everywhere, and it cannot really be completely banned and wiped out like other cults.

But the teachings of the holy religion have to be reformed.

Contents such as guiding people to be good and maintaining order are retained, but the content related to 'heaven' is basically downplayed.

This is for sure.

The initial establishment of the Holy Cult was actually to promote the belief in heaven in order to achieve the purpose of assimilating the world. This is also the most intolerable thing for Li Wei.

The holy religion is equivalent to a 'traitor' that the enemy has penetrated into one's own side - or a 'world traitor', and this is even more equivalent to prying into Li Wei's corner.

It is not that Li Wei cannot tolerate religion; but a religion whose purpose is to believe in the outer world, that is, heaven, must not be tolerated.

Kane will be the leader of the new Holy Church, mainly due to two-handed consideration.

One, he is a person from the holy church, and it is not a big problem to get familiar with the work when he takes over the Holy See.And the second, and most important point, is because he has taints, and at this critical moment, he voted for the kingdom government, which is tantamount to becoming a minion of the kingdom government.This will make it very difficult for him to be recognized by the diehards of the Holy See, so he has to rely more on the power of the Kingdom government.

In summary, he is easy to control.

At the same time, the Kingdom also established a brand new department called the 'Religious Administration'.This department is dominated by officials of the kingdom government, and at the same time there is the shadow of the Demon Hunters' General Guild in it.

Nominally, the existence of the Religious Administration Bureau was established to 'manage the religious organizations in the kingdom in a more orderly manner and to prevent the emergence of cult organizations', but as long as you are not a fool, you can know that this department is dedicated to the new holy religion. and established.

Not to mention anything else, in the New Saint Church, all appointments, ranging from the replacement of the pope to the establishment of a church and the appointment of priests in a small church, all need to be approved by the religious administration.

Here, a 'training on duty' policy is also introduced.

This training is not training on religious knowledge, but it is completely instilling content such as 'loyalty to the kingdom, allegiance to the queen, and devotion to the people of Wisdom'.There is also an exam. If you fail the exam, you will not be able to work.

Another very important point is that the crusaders have been completely cut off.In the future, the Holy Church will not be able to have any formal or informal armed forces.

With these combined punches, Shengjiao has been castrated.

Once upon a time, such a huge force collapsed suddenly.Not to mention disappearing, but it is almost impossible to restore the original grand occasion.

In Glory City, the nearly All Saints Religious Army, as well as a large number of priests and other clergy were all detained, boarded the airship, and embarked on the journey to Westum City.

They will be imprisoned for a period of time, during which time they will be reformed to remove their religious identities as much as possible, and then arrangements will be made depending on the specific situation.Maybe it was re-arranged to serve in the reformed New Saint Church, but it is a small number of people who can have such a fate.

After all, it took so much effort to castrate the holy church, how could it be possible to re-arrange so many people from the old holy church?That's just making yourself uncomfortable.

Those who can be arranged to go back must be some people who have performed well in the process of thought remolding, and they must not be fanatics.

The vast majority of people, more likely to end up, should be stripped of their religious status, and then filled into the army, under strict supervision.

And after the identification, those true fanatics, those who are difficult to reform...then just stay in the prison honestly, there may be some forced labor, you can get them out and let them go, But most of their future lives are destined to be spent in a dark prison.

But to be honest, the number of fanatics is always small.At least, in this world, there are not so many people who don't even want their own lives for their beliefs.

Even Freya, who received the education of the holy religion since she was a child, and even grew into a paladin at the elemental level, was unwilling to give her life in the end to become the host of an angel—although she still failed to resist in the end .

The most vigilant ones are those paladins who rushed into the army.

In the imagination of the high level of the kingdom, although these paladins are definitely not religious fanatics, but there are so many people, and their average strength is very good. If they are placed in the army, will they cause any trouble?
Riots and riots may not be such concerns. Even if they happen, the Royal Government and the Demon Hunters Guild are fully sure that they will be able to suppress them.The real trouble is that if these paladins are secretly preaching in the army and doing things in the army, it may be a little troublesome.

Subtle changes in people's thinking are difficult to detect.

If this kind of thing really happens, and it is not noticed in a short period of time, it will be a big trouble.

In this regard, it is necessary to strengthen the ideological construction within the army.

But there are good sides too.

There is no doubt about the fighting power of the Crusaders.Even if they were castrated once a hundred years ago, the number of crusaders has never been allowed to exceed 2.But for a hundred years, the Holy See has relied on such 2 paladins to secure its position as the most powerful force in the kingdom.

The crusaders have strong average strength, tenacious fighting will, strict discipline, and excellent equipment.As an army, they have almost no weaknesses.

If it is really possible to digest this dismembered and swallowed team, then the overall strength of the kingdom's army after the civil strife will inevitably rise by a large margin.

Risk always coexists with benefit.
