While continuing to intensify the smear campaign, they also stirred up hatred among the people against Camelot.
This is not the worst thing. What is more terrible is that the principality has even launched an anti-religious campaign, trying its best to wipe out the Cang Tian Sect from its sphere of influence.
Generally speaking, being anti-religious is a very difficult thing to do, especially for a religion like the Cang Tian Sect, which already has a large number of believers among the people.
But unfortunately, the Principality had caught something on the Cult of Heaven.
They pulled out some captives from the remnants of the empire. The main component of these captives were those who used to be Esdeath's subordinates, that is, those who did not join the Azure Order project when they were disbanded.
These people all recognized the original members of the Cang Tian Cult. After all, they were comrades in the same army.
Now it was a lively scene, as the captives came out one after another to identify the senior priests of the Cang Tian Cult as former soldiers of the Empire's ace troops.
After the identification, the Principality first accused them of being remnants of the empire and then arrested these clergymen with justification.
Then they began to spread the word that the Heaven Cult was a conspiracy, that Heaven did not exist at all, and that someone was just pretending to be a god.
Regardless of whether the believers believed it or not, the ordinary people who had been aroused to hate Camelot believed it anyway.
This dealt a heavy blow to the influence of the Order of Heaven within the Principality. A large number of new and old clergy were arrested, and churches were demolished. This anti-religious action was carried out so smoothly!
"I was careless. I actually forgot about these people."
Su Mo came to the Camelot base in the world of Zhan Mei. After listening to the latest situation summary introduced by Hei Qiangdai, he couldn't help but feel helpless for a moment.
If he had known this would happen, he should have let Liva or he should have dealt with these people personally, otherwise the situation would not have exploded now.
Now it is not just a question of whether Camelot can be established. If things go wrong, even the Order of Heaven may suffer a heavy blow.
"In the final analysis, it's because someone wasted his time on other women. If he had started the plan two days earlier, it wouldn't have ended up like this... "
Hei Qiang glanced at Su Mo and said in a dark voice.
In fact, when it comes down to it, the reason why the plan went wrong and developed into what it is now is mainly because we missed the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
When the plan began, the revolutionary army had already wiped out the last resistance of the remnants of the empire. From then on, the revolutionary army, which is now the principality, began to dominate.
This not only prevented them from taking advantage of the situation, but also changed the nature of rebuilding Camelot here.
If the original script was about pacifying a troubled time, then what is being staged now is the drama of overthrowing a country.
In this situation where the wrong script was given, it would be strange if nothing went wrong.
Even they were lucky to have taken over a large territory at the beginning.
If this had come later, allowing the situation in the principality to stabilize, it would have been more difficult to operate.
And this is all thanks to someone who had put aside his plans here and turned to help Bai Qiangdai.
"..."
Looking at Hei Qiangdai, who looked resentful and a little jealous, Su Mo couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
He also knew that the situation here had become like this mainly because he was responsible for delaying the progress.
"Well, I'm here to make amends now."
Su Mo did not make any excuses about having important matters (missions), but directly used physical means to persuade Hei Qiangdai.
That is, practice boxing with him!
After beating Hei Qiangdai down, Hei Qiangdai no longer dared to feel resentful.
"What are you going to do next?"
Hei Qiang leaned weakly on Su Mo's shoulder and asked calmly.
"Didn't they say that the sky doesn't exist? Then let the sky 'show its spirit'." Su Mo said with a smile.
I can only say that the senior officials of the principality are still too naive.
Knowing that someone is playing tricks, he still dares to jump out and shout openly.
Doesn't this give him, the mastermind behind this, an opportunity to take action?
Dare to say that God does not exist?
You are blaspheming!
Do you know that you will be punished by the gods?
"I will take action to deal with the prisoners and kill the top brass. You guys should act according to the right timing."
Su Mo directly sentenced the high-ranking officials of the principality to death.
Maybe there are good people among them, but who are they to be his enemy?
Su Mo has never been a saint and will not feel pity for his enemies regardless of their goodness or badness.
Since these people were blocking his way, Su Mo wouldn't mind crushing them.
Besides, Su Mo doesn't have that much free time to waste with the opponent.
Fighting head-on on the battlefield? He would be a fool to do so. There is obviously a faster and more convenient way, why not use it?
Morality? Can it be eaten?
Besides, with those people in the Principality, are they worthy?
How funny!
The strength is completely unequal, so the weaker side will naturally be beaten.
The only thing that Su Mo was a little worried about was probably Najeshita and the others. He would need to do some ideological work on them afterwards.
But this is not a problem. Rebuilding Camelot does not mean enslaving the civilians of this world.
Even because it is Black Gun who is in power, they can get a lot of assistance from the Dimension City, which is actually a good thing for the people.
By the time the matter is settled, the result will be good, and Najeshitan will have no reason to object.
"Okay, go ahead. I also need to prepare here."
Upon seeing this, Hei Qiangdai stood up, straightened his clothes, and went out to arrange matters.
Seeing this, Su Mo did not delay. According to the information given by Hei Qiangdai, he teleported to the capital of the principality.
Then, the classic reappears.
Dark clouds gathered quickly, covering the sky and the sun, lightning flashed, and thunder roared.
The people below were all confused and didn't know what was going on. Only a few people remembered the situation in the imperial capital that day.
"It's thunder from the sky! Heaven is about to punish us!"
The people began to panic. Although they accepted the official statement of the Principality and believed that someone was playing tricks, they could not help but feel powerless and in awe of the thunder that seemed like a natural disaster.
Only those members of the Cang Tian Sect who were captured were extremely surprised.
They shouted: "The heavens have shown their mercy! We are going to be saved! The end of you heretics has come!"
The high-ranking officials of the principality were as panicked as the people.
Because they found that they seemed to have given the other side a reason to take action.
Moreover, the natural disaster-like scene before them was far beyond their expectations.
Having never seen it with their own eyes, they greatly underestimated the power of this "divine punishment".
How could an imperial weapon do this?
Is there really a God in this world?
"Gulu~! Can the guards stop it?"
"I'm afraid I can't..."
Boom~! ! !
The lightning instantly submerged the Principality's Parliament, killing the high-ranking officials inside on the spot, but no one else was hurt.
This was not the end yet. The thunder continued to fall until all the captives and high-ranking officials of the principality in other places were struck to ashes on the spot.
…To be continued….
Chapter 180: History written by the victor, coming to the Demon Slayer world, can the mission be done by others?
There is nothing much to say about what happened next. The top leaders of the principality died collectively, and the officials and the army below were leaderless and fell into chaos in an instant.
At this time, Camelot, who had been well prepared, quickly launched a fierce attack and captured the entire territory within two days, making the principality a short-lived history.
Afterwards, in a grand ceremony hosted by the Order of the Azure Sky, Black Spear was crowned king, and the Dynasty of Camelot was officially launched in the world of Killer Zelda: The Sisterhood of Camelot.
Then came a series of reforms and the liquidation of the principality's power.
There is a saying that goes, history is written by the victors.
In order to eliminate the influence of the Principality, a lot of scandals from the Revolutionary Army period were dug up.
Things like crossing the river and destroying the bridge, and secretly settling accounts with the meritorious troops who launched the night attack, are only minor problems.
What really shocked the people was the composition of the revolutionary army.
As we all know, peasant uprisings are generally difficult to succeed. In almost all successful cases, there is always the support of some speculators behind the rebels.
Because the peasants were poor, they had no weapons or rations, and apart from their courage to fight, they had no advantages over the regular army.
Especially in an era like the medieval era in the world of Zelda: Fallen, unless the entire nation revolts, it is almost impossible for a small number of people to overthrow the regime.
The rise of the revolutionary army was naturally due to the financial and technical support provided by someone behind the scenes.
But these people may not all be kind-hearted people.
The empire was already completely corrupt by then, and the only people who could afford the money and had a large number of technical talents and means of production were the nobles and wealthy businessmen.
Both types of people are the beneficiaries of the corrupt world, and they are the root cause of corruption.
The revolutionary army gained their support almost entirely by promising benefits to these people.
With such financial backers, one can imagine what the situation is like inside the revolutionary army.
Maybe not as extreme as the empire at that time, but they still did all the dirty things they could.
In order to obtain aid, it is common practice to use beauty tricks to please wealthy businessmen or even force women to do such things.
They even called it a sacrifice for a great cause afterwards. This is so hypocritical.
19 Not to mention the situation within the army. Some nobles who surrendered even became local tyrants in the army, bringing all kinds of bad habits into the troops and committing countless crimes in secret.
It was common practice to massacre some villages in order to collect taxes and then put the blame on the empire.
However, these problems were covered up by the top leaders of the revolutionary army at that time. If they were not made public now, the people would not have the chance to know them.
There are also malicious smears against Camelot, and "fabrication" of evidence to accuse the Cult of Heaven of being the remnants of the empire.
As one thing after another was exposed, the people who originally supported the Principality were dumbfounded. They did not expect that the so-called revolutionary army would be such a mess, not much different from the corrupt empire.
The only difference is probably that the Empire is openly corrupt and no longer cares about its reputation, while the Revolutionary Army is covert and more shameless, but in fact, neither is much better.
Now, except for a few stubborn elements, the people have given up on the principality.
At this time, Camelot took the opportunity to launch a nationwide purge.
A large number of corrupt officials, wealthy businessmen and nobles were cleared out.
Under Hei Qiangdai's iron-blooded wrist, corrupt officials were directly executed, wealthy businessmen were directly convicted after their properties were confiscated, and the nobility was directly abolished. One by one, the guilty were executed, and the innocent were demoted to commoners.
The blood flowed like a river, and the people were proved through practical actions the fairness of the Camelot Dynasty.
This was much more effective than the Duchy's flattery by empty promises. Many people immediately changed their attitudes and began to submit to the rule of the Camelot Dynasty.
At the same time, this wave of purges also left many important official positions vacant. Hei Qiangdai took the opportunity to promote some capable surrendered people to positions, which not only further consolidated the regime but also implemented many reforms.
In times of chaos, severe punishments should be used. This is a true fact.
With the bloody means used by Hei Qiangdai, the situation in the country improved quickly and the turbulent situation was quickly settled.
After actually feeling this change, the people naturally understood that this was the result of the Camelot Dynasty's governance, and became more willing to submit.
The Camelot Dynasty in the world of Kill Me Like a Chimera completed its rule in this way.
Even the Cang Tian Sect, because it was designated as the state religion, successfully overcame this public relations crisis and achieved better development.
But these have nothing to do with Su Mo. After helping Hei Qiangdai solve the problem, he went on to do other things.
