Warhammer

No matter what, it is impossible to go to someone else's home.

What he wanted was to control the South. The anti-counterrevolutionary movement was for control, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was for control, and the decisive battle with the enemy was also for control.

Although the list provided by the National Salvation Association is very detailed, if they kill everyone there will probably be some innocent people, but if they release five out of a hundred there will definitely be some who slip through the net.

However, such an insect eradication campaign has nothing to do with Al's fundamental purpose and core interests, and may even damage his image among the southern ruling class.

Of the people on that list, except for a few who were so notorious and the target of public outrage that he dragged them out for public trial to win the hearts of the people and had their property confiscated, most of them were not captured by the "Tribal King Army" as the National Salvation Association had hoped, to "uphold justice" for the Estalia people.

On the contrary, with the solid evidence in his hands, Al was able to better control these people.

With the power of life and death in the hands of El, he naturally can only cling to the tribe. After all, he has already served the invaders, so what if he serves the "King of Allies" again?

...

With this description, it seems that Al is no different from those big villains.

Within the National Salvation Association, as the anti-counterrevolutionary movement of Ayer progressed, the two originally opposing parties began to change their positions to varying degrees.

For example, the "Craftsman" Valen Wald. Just like his title, Rod is a famous craftsman renowned throughout the southern world. He is good at making guns and is also proficient in architecture. He is the honorary president of the Margarita Craftsmen's Association.

It is because Ai'er values ​​craftsmen, especially those involved in the military field. After all, equipment cannot rely solely on blessings, at least it is not that easy before the gate of chaos is opened.

We still have to rely on technology combined with materials.

So even though he was disappointed that Al failed to thoroughly settle the list, he still maintained a pro-coalition stance.

The three founders, the Fighter, the Scholar, and the Mercenary, began to be hostile to the tribe because Al obtained the title of regent through the new Southern Eagle Gregory, strongly controlled Margarita, and adopted an attitude of "either be dominated by me or get out" towards the mercenary organization.

"Merchant" Barton Hall, general director of the Margarita Chamber of Commerce and business patriarch of the Hall family, began to turn to a pro-coalition stance, because of Al's behavior of raising the stick high and dropping it gently, he believed that he could cooperate with Al. At the same time, under Al's governance, production and life in the South recovered, the economy began to flow, and trade began to operate again.

If the Chamber of Commerce cannot obtain Al's permission, it will be difficult for it to move forward.

And although the "Captain" did not like the fact that a foreign king was in power in Margarita, he, along with the merchants and craftsmen, leaned towards the coalition because El's rule was efficient and clear and was restoring the Kingdom of Estalia at a very fast speed.

The Countess still did not make her position clear. Since Margaretta was liberated, Madame Melisande no longer worried about the affairs of the National Salvation Association. This noblewoman, who could have enjoyed a life of carefree food and clothing, devoted herself to a dangerous and exciting career because of her courage and patriotism. Now that the South was liberated, this adventure was over for her.

However, from the fact that the Countess wrote several times to the Great Temple of Myrmidia, inviting His Excellency "King El - Acting Regent Margarita" of the tribe whose capital is located there to attend the banquets and salons held in her home, it can be seen that the Countess, who is obviously obsessed with looks, will no longer worry about all kinds of troubles with "ordinary people" like them.

Currently, I am concentrating on trying to get a taste of the magical herb and trying to outdo the other party.

Al's behavior caused the Salvation Society to experience several changes in its position in a short period of time. The contradictions in the lines led to constant disputes. The diehard "royalist", the former captain of the City Prince's Guard, and the "fighter" Harrington Bull, who was sent out on official business on the day of the assassination, insisted on nominating the descendants of the former City Prince to succeed to the throne in order to wash away his dereliction of duty to the previous monarch and the shame of not being by the prince's side as captain of the guard when he was assassinated, even if he died together with him.

After Eyre gained the "acting" power of regent, Harrington shifted from a pro-Allied stance to an exclusionary one.

Even under his instigation, the first batch of people appeared in the entire southern region under Aiel's control:

Putting the tribe and the greenskin invaders together, they believe that the beastmen are also here to seize Estalia's interests. If the alien rulers who usurp Margarita's power do not leave on their own, then the Estalia warriors need to take up arms and launch a second uprising like they did with the greenskin invaders, expel the alien rule, and restore the kingdom's orthodoxy...

Such xenophobes.

According to the information sent back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the second half of the above sentence "The warriors of Estalia...revolted for the second time..." was the original words spoken by the fighter Harrington Bull himself at a Salon of the National Salvation Association, which was definitely not a secret and had hundreds of participants.

When he put it on Al's desk, he just took a quick look at it and felt it was ridiculous.

Who gives these radical xenophobes the confidence?

There is also the "Second Great Uprising". Did you have your first one?

The pirates, who were left with only remnants after the Battle of Tolosa, were able to commit fraud and control the largest armed force. The wealthy businessmen and nobles behind the now-disbanded and reorganized Margarita Pseudo-Parliament and the National Salvation Association, in order to protect themselves, watched the pirates stabilize and control the entire city. In the subsequent chaos, they did not fire a single shot and only focused on defending their homes.

The craftsmen and fighters went to the southeast to call for an uprising and achieved some results, but in the end it was the two sons' armies that split into two groups and marched east to completely expel the enemy forces and recover the entire territory.

And, facing a tribe of greenskins that could defeat the kingdom's army.

At best, a group of militias, private soldiers and mercenaries are clamoring to use force to expel the tribes from interfering in politics. Isn't that a bit too presumptuous?

The Tomb of Kings Salvation Army, which had the attribute of never being defeated, was the only legendary army that had achieved a record worth watching after the fall of the South. Now, under the continuous infiltration of Aiur, except for a very small number of people, the entire army has switched to the Blood Mother, believing that it was the power of the Blood Mother that allowed them to survive in desperate situations and wait for the reinforcements from the Son of God. Naturally, they would offer their loyalty for this, fight to the end for the great cause of the Chosen Ones and the Blood Mother, and enjoy it.

Besides, the southerners didn't have any decent strength at their disposal. Even Al suspected that he had used the new army more often after entering the pass. Because human faces were easier to move, these radicals had the unrealistic illusion that "this powerful army is our Estalia."

Or maybe they are just a group of naive fanatics going crazy, just like the country that has been divided up several times but has not learned its lesson, and is still dreaming of "Ping Du Zhen Lu" during the dark interwar period.

Anyway, after reading it, Al just smiled and ignored it. At most, he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pay more attention to the "Fighter" group, to prevent these guys from getting too excited and making big news one day.

Then I went back to play role-playing with the three Galaz widows.

El shouted angrily: "You despicable women, you used your bodies to seduce me, and made me lead my warriors to bleed for your kingdom! But now you are hostile to me and regard me as an enemy!"

The widows looked at each other, and then, under the guidance of the two ladies who already knew Al's hobbies, they began to act out:

General Estalia's wife, for the sake of her desperate husband, chose to use her body to seduce the pure young king of a neighboring country in exchange for reinforcements;

A noblewoman who suffered from the war was rescued and taken in by Al in the chaos, and she devoted herself to the latter in order to save her family.

The priestess of the church came to the army of the beastmen as a messenger to assist the allies in battle, and finally assisted them in bed;

......

Al felt that it really didn't matter if he played more and had more fun in private.

Because he can really repeat or realize the above and all other tried gameplay and plots countless times throughout Margarita and the entire southern world.

From those two to three thousand female church members, it shouldn't be difficult to pick out a thousand or eight hundred with decent looks and figures, right?

When the Great Temple and the entire Margarita were completely controlled by Al, if he wanted to indulge himself, he could do ten different ones every day for half a year.

In order to please Al and avoid being purged, many nobles and wealthy businessmen were willing to offer their wives and daughters - if they were unwilling, Al could force them to do so.

However, he didn't do anything. He just played with his harem behind closed doors. He was already the type who kept himself clean (bushi).

Apart from the slightly outrageous act of desecrating the goddess statue, El has always maintained the good image of a wise and benevolent ruler that he presents to his subordinates, people, and followers when he is wearing clothes.

Chapter 87: Motherly Faith and Rebels

The National Salvation Association fell into a state of contradiction due to Al's inconsistent words and deeds, and the internal differences were so great that they led to a split. Al himself had been paying attention to it.

But overall, it was a good thing for Al and his tribe.

Without guns, there is almost no possibility of physically opposing Aiur. Even if the leading "fighters" and "scholars" fight desperately, it is difficult for them to gain support from the people who have experienced the torture of the greenskins and wait until Aiur is liberated and ruled and restores a safe and peaceful life. At least they are willing to give up the hard-earned peaceful life and take up swords to defend the "legitimacy of the kingdom" which has been almost forgotten in this land in the south in just a few years and has only recently begun to be mentioned.

So it's actually very easy for Al to deal with them.

Killing someone is enough, just destroying their heart.

Today’s blue hats are fully capable of dealing with these conservative and xenophobic forces that reveal their anti-tribal tendencies.

With the rapid expansion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although some problems and defects have been exposed to a greater or lesser extent, it is undeniable that the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was established by Al with the three magic weapons of faith, strict organization and abundant material supply, has gradually become a special force that is well-known and deeply loved by the people.

They are mysterious, but they are everywhere, from leading teams to capture traitorous leaders and smashing the sabotage plans of enemy remnants to small-scale tasks such as chores in the market, saving lives and putting out fires. The blue hats can be seen everywhere.

Very high-end, yet very down-to-earth.

The proactive service to the people surprised the people of Margarita. In the past, at most the church would occasionally organize some charity and free medical consultations; in case of grand festivals, the prince and the city-state officials would fund celebrations and comfort the citizens.

But to put it simply: scattering money and rice.

A team like the Ministry of the Interior, where each member is tall and strong with regular facial features, can be described as excellent in appearance and temperament. In terms of ability and conduct, they are far superior to the city defense forces and garrisons of the past. They are so enthusiastic about "serving the people under the order of the Regent and the care of the Mother Goddess", without the most common attitude among mercenaries and soldiers, who are arrogant to ordinary people and treat them as objects to be bullied.

From top to bottom, perhaps in the morning they made impassioned speeches at the public trial, angrily denouncing certain nobles and wealthy businessmen for damaging the interests of the people and bowing to the invaders; presiding over and announcing the blue hats and green hats who sentenced those high-ranking nobles and businessmen, in the afternoon they were busy running around to find relatives for the widowed residents and seek help from the city hall, sweating profusely; adopting orphans from the war, the members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs adopted them respectively, and usually they received the unified education promoted by Al, making early plans for the talent pool ten years later; visiting and helping the widowed and lonely elderly, sending them daily necessities in the name of loving mothers and Al's regent, and those who have difficulty taking care of themselves will be supported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs with special funds...

One pile and one item.

El's measures, which were intended to win over the hearts of the people, were very effective, so much so that the reputation of the "Blue Hats" had spread back to the southwestern cities that were first liberated by the coalition forces. When the local people heard that the new regent had "established such a department composed entirely of noble people for the Margaritas," they all expressed the hope that El would send "Blue Hats" to them as well.

This news will certainly be feared by the middle and upper classes in the southwest region.

The blue hats treat the lower classes gently—except for bastards, hooligans, bandits, criminals and scum; but they are not so gentle to the middle and upper classes.

Even if they are wealthy or aristocratic families with no bad records or even a very good reputation, the Blue Hats will still not be treated with favor. Al's requirements and restrictions on them are to "be among the grassroots people" and be responsible for public security, counter-espionage, organizing the grassroots and the current anti-counterrevolutionary work.

It may be further subdivided into several departments with clearer powers and responsibilities in the future, but all will be under the framework of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The highest authority and responsible persons will all be El or those authorized by El, and they will be directly under the central government.

The current blue hats are popular among the people because of their uniforms, distinctive logos, average appearance and demeanor, as well as the content of their work. They are also somewhat mysterious. People say that these Ministry of Internal Affairs soldiers wearing the iconic special blue hats are: "The Mother Goddess could not bear to see the people of Estalia suffer, so she summoned the most compassionate, responsible and honorable people through her own children to form this army of warriors for the Regent to protect the people."

Obviously, this legend was most likely released by Al.

that's the truth.

But the effect is unexpectedly good.

The two terms "Mother Goddess" and "Regent King" suddenly took on a certain sacred meaning in the city of Margarita.

Apart from the military interior, the Mother's shrine is the earliest Four Mothers worship building to appear in the city of Margarita.

After being briefly saved in this world, and with the help of real examples around them and Al's encouragement, many of the suffering Margaritas are curious and willing to learn about the teachings of this "oldest" pagan goddess who is "tolerant, kind, merciful, accepts everyone, tolerates everything, and regards all mortals as her children."

The greatness of saving the suffering, embracing and healing all living beings in the world, and the real example: the loving mother did let her son, the regent king Ai'er, lead an unmatched army to save the people of the south...

It does meet the current spiritual needs of the Margarita people. The War Church is busy with internal strife, and even after the new Southern Eagle came to power, there has been no change but it has become worse. Even the most basic disaster relief work of the church has been done in a mess. However, the activities of tithing, preaching to the people and asking for offerings, and charity have not been neglected - all of this, of course, is so weird when Al keeps stabbing them in the back.

Weakening your opponent is also strengthening yourself.

This opened the door to the spread of the Mother's faith, and El generously provided material support, recruiting some devout believers among the Estalia people to serve as rescuers and preachers of the Mother.

Because the Mother of Mercy cares for everyone equally (except perhaps Aiur), her followers are strictly speaking not divided into levels, unlike the Blood Mother's Vanguard which is divided into levels like "Red Mane", "Red Horn" and "Angry Horn Vanguard".

Equality, those who are capable and willing to take on responsibilities and do more will take the initiative to step forward, and the others will do their best to assist. So at least in terms of doing things, compared to being stabbed several times and bleeding profusely, with the enemy's brain still being the enemy's internal accomplice, the enthusiasm of the war church, which is in a paralyzed state, is several levels higher.

The most outstanding believers will gain special abilities through prayer and spending all day with herbs and the sick and injured. They can heal wounds through touch and are given the title of "Healing Hands" by El. They have additional assistance to facilitate their healing journey and spread the teachings of the Mother.

After entering the city, Al pushed for the development of the Mother's faith, and temporarily ignored: The Omniscient One and Joy.

Apart from personal inclinations, Mother is the only one of the Four Mother Gods that El truly believes in. After facing the Four Gods and giving birth to the small hexagram representing El in the manifestation of chaos, he has become a semi-chaotic creature in a sense, the eternally chosen one of the Eternals (albeit a juvenile one).

Their status is only lower than that of a true god. If they really enter the Chaos Realm, perhaps the Four Mothers and Their Son will be higher than some of the Chaos Secondary Gods who exist and disappear with the ebb and flow of Chaos.

In most cases, the words of the Four Mothers cannot deceive Al. Instead, they will allow him to grasp some information behind the scenes, which is not necessarily what they want Al to know, at least that is what they know now.

So since the hexagram began to shine, the four mothers and Al have spent much less time on the phone. The only person who chats on the phone like before is Huanyu, who comes to chat from time to time... When the children are still young, the father and son, the mother and son are very close. When the children grow up, this intimacy will not be as close as before?

Of course, the Four Mothers (Gods) might not bother to lie and simply let Al play freely.

......

Another big factor is practical considerations.

Compared to the bellicosity and militant Blood Mother faith, it is more suitable to spread among the legions under the current circumstances. The already exhausted and frail southern region is not suitable for such a strong injection of spiritual food for the time being.

There is also the pursuit of pleasure and happiness... This will only be suitable for promotion after the overall environment stabilizes. At least from the perspective of fertility alone, it is a very good bonus.

And the omniscient one... forget it, just like the bluebird, stupid people are not worthy of believing in T.

The glasses-wearing mother pays more attention to the quality of the believers. The all-knowing believers are very useful in the tribe and have made great contributions to assisting Al, but they are indeed not as good as others in preaching...

Instead, they take the grassroots (equality without distinction of high or low) route, are close to the masses, have doctrines that are easy to understand and accept by their believers, and their welfare benefits are straightforward for the public to feel and experience.

Only the loving mother has faith.

The identities of a doctor or healer naturally bring a favorable impression to most factions.

Their treatment of the people, free medical consultations and relief were all in accordance with the will of El and the Mother, which would naturally help spread the Mother's faith and consolidate El's authority.

Like the blue hats, the followers of the Mother (those from the Pina Forest) who possess medical skills and healing powers have a high reputation among the public, and Al naturally wants to take advantage of this...

.........

“The stubborn radicals attacked the ambulance that was providing free medical treatment to the people, causing dozens of people to be injured?”

Al is acting as the Regent in the Parliament—as the Regent he holds absolute power, and the Parliament only has the qualifications to provide advice and assistance. It is completely a fabrication set up by Al, just like the "Senate and People of Rome" in the Eastern Roman Empire.

While discussing whether to try to break through the blockade of the route and contact the Estalia colony, a piece of news suddenly reached the parliament and was presented to Al.

The boy glanced around a few times. Although he was wearing a mask, he still frowned deliberately, as if to immerse himself in the story.

Then share it with everyone for viewing.

"It's just a mob! A thug!"

"No! It must be the remnants of pirates!"

Immediately, some members of parliament stood firm and distanced themselves from this atrocity!

"Such a terrible thing happened in the city of Margarita. It seems that the Regent's anti-counterrevolutionary campaign has made some of the guys hiding very deeply impatient!" A congressman from the southwest region echoed, causing a group of local people in Margarita to look at him strangely.

I know that you people in the southwest are licking the boot and you also want to take advantage of the coalition forces being in power, but you don't have to force yourself to do everything, right?

"Humph!"

Al snorted coldly, "I also heard that Margarita has recently made some... well, unfriendly remarks towards me. I wouldn't say hostile. If it were hostile, I would meet them on the battlefield. Unfriendly remarks."

"They say I'm a foreign king and a beastman, and that acting as regent is a usurpation and a violation of power... They even put the coalition forces and pirates on the same level, ha." Al sneered. Before he finished speaking, someone immediately expressed his loyalty on the spot:

"This is nonsense! There must be an enemy with ulterior motives behind this! I ask the regent to immediately investigate these rumors. In the hearts of Margarita people, the king's restoration and restoration of grace are as great as the sun and the moon! How can we allow such traitors to sow discord!"

These are very serious words.
