I have a shelter in the last days

Chapter 288 All Crazy

The imperial capital has been gradually divided into four main areas for more than 1000 years. The royal palace complex is located in the southern part of the imperial capital, which includes the royal palace, the square in front of the palace, the garden behind the palace, the central government office of the empire, the barracks of the palace knights, etc. Associated buildings belonging to the king and royal family.Under normal circumstances, few people come to hang out in the south, because the king lives here, and there are a large number of court knights here to patrol and interrogate suspicious persons.

The temple complex of the church is far away from the royal palace in the northern area. There are cathedrals, church libraries, church welfare homes, church schools, church hospitals, chastisement knights barracks, etc. to build large buildings, close to these core areas It is the residential area of ​​some believers or church staff.

The east is the main area where civilians and merchants live. Compared with the other three areas, the buildings here are much worse. It is crowded and narrow. Even the roads are not as wide as the other three areas, but this is the capital of the king. The busiest area is not as serious and serious as the south, nor is it as rigid and solemn as the north. It is also more liberal and open-minded than the aristocratic area in the west, which is full of rules and smells.

And the west side is naturally the area where the Insector nobles live. Although the nobles' fiefs may be far away from the king's capital, almost every noble in the empire has such a villa in the king's capital.Although the church is already in serious conflict with the nobles, and the king is also drifting away from the nobles, this is the capital of a country after all.Whether it is politics, economy, culture or business, religion and intelligence, it is worth all the nobles to establish a stronghold here, so although there may not be real people living here, the nobles with dignity will at least build a villa here for their masters It is necessary when going to the royal capital.

On weekdays, the noble area is patrolled by the court knights and a small number of family guards left behind by the nobles in turn, mainly to maintain law and order.But today, with the convening of the Church Judgment Conference, countless knights and believers stationed in other places rushed to the capital in large numbers.The court knights were transferred back to the southern palace, and a small number of noble alliance knights also returned to their barracks and did not go out to steal the church's limelight.I thought that everything would return to its original state after the church's trial meeting, but none of these knights who had been stationed in the king's capital for a long time and were used to peace didn't think who was the target of the church's trial?

Today, in the barracks patrolling knights in the aristocratic area guarded by 7 families in shifts, [-] guards from [-] different families are bragging in the room. The door was kicked open.Several officers stood up and were about to scold whoever dared to attack the barracks with such a blind eye, when they saw dozens of fully armed church discipline knights rushing in.A burst of punching and kicking took them all down, and they were stunned by what they saw when they were tied up with ropes and dragged out of the barracks cursing.

Countless crazy crowds shouted the slogan of "Jihad" and rushed into the aristocratic west district, smashing everything they could see like hungry Mandis bugs.They broke open the gates of the villas of the nobles, and rushed in amid the yelling of the housekeeper and the screams of the maids.Then one house after another was set on fire, one wall after another was torn down, and a person was dragged out of the house by crazy people and thrown on the street, and was trampled to death by them...

"What should I do? Master" Kou Jin, who was being carried forward by the crowd, held Jiujiu's arm tightly and said worriedly.He looked around and saw that his other companions were not far from him, struggling to squeeze towards him.He secretly counted the number of people. Although the road was blocked by the crowded crowd and it was difficult to gather them together in a short while, at least they were not completely dispersed by the crowd.

"Assemble the team as soon as possible...and...go! Take advantage of the chaos and leave the capital! We must rush back to the family's territory as quickly as possible! The church is declaring war on all the nobles in the entire empire! This time not only their own strength, but also a large number of people... People in the capital are crazy now, this is not a situation where a dozen of us can save the situation. I hope we can still stabilize the people in the family territory... ..." Jiujiu looked at the fanatical crowd, and asked as if thinking of something: "Where's Liana? Have you sent her away?"

Kou Jin responded in a low voice while coping with the push and rub from the crowd around him: "I sent two brothers to take her away a day ago, the focus of the church these days is on this trial meeting, Liana His disappearance doesn’t seem to have attracted the attention of the church... um... the trial assembly! It turned out to be a trial for all the nobles! Pooh!"

In the watchtower on the top of the southern palace, the king of the empire is sitting quietly on a large seat that is obviously newly installed. Behind him are his prime minister and the court knight commander. The three of them are watching faintly from the aristocratic district in the west firelight.

There was a faint sound of "jihad", and Prime Minister Sloan turned to the court knight commander and asked, "Are there soldiers on the roads leading to the southern district? We need to ensure that crazy congregants do not enter the southern district!"

The knight commander replied with a blank expression: "Master Sloan, please rest assured that the army stationed outside the city has quietly moved into the city last night to ensure the safety of the southern district."

Prime Minister Sloan didn't seem to feel at ease because of these words, he rubbed his hands a little anxiously, and the tentacles on the top of his head trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty Prime Minister, don't worry. The church has already promised to ensure our safety. At least in the past 1000 years, they haven't broken their promise." His Majesty the King's faint voice came over.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I was worrying too much." Sloan gritted his teeth to calm down the uneasiness in his heart, and continued to accompany His Majesty the King as he watched the chaos in the western district gradually expand in the distance.

The two stood behind and didn't see it. Although His Majesty the King was sitting there, his eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to see clearly how the nobles of the West District were punished in this trial. He originally The hands leaning on both sides also tightly grasped the armrests on both sides of the seat.All this shows that our Majesty the King is far less calm than others appear to be.

The church has finally launched a war against the nobles. He must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to achieve what generations of kings have wanted to achieve but have never been able to achieve: the ideal of reducing the nobles and their fiefs and returning the power of the empire to the center.

In order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to cooperate with the church, which is equivalent to recognizing the interference of theocracy in the secular world.Although there is a hidden danger of the church growing further, he believes that since he can think of ways to reduce the nobility, he can also think of ways to reduce the influence of the church on the secular world.
