I have a shelter in the last days

Chapter 296
Secondly, in the northern region, because of the large number of civilian casualties caused by the war, and the tragedy of abandoning their homes and businesses, it is enough to exaggerate and publicize the tragedy among the people.After all, the direct initiator of this war is the church, so all the pain and damage caused by the war will naturally be fully borne by the church.Didn't you see that our nobles gave up all our northern territories for peace?It is the church that is too ambitious, trying to force people in the entire empire to believe in their gods.This is the reason why all the nobles are being pressed step by step, not only wanting the legal land of the nobles from ancient times to the present, but also calling those who do not believe in gods heretics and exterminating them all!They not only broke the laws of the empire, but also the peace of the empire, and everyone's peaceful life... In a word, they want to tell the people that the nobles are good and the church is bad.

At the same time, if you reduce the tax burden on your own territory a little bit during public opinion propaganda, I believe it will be difficult for those church hidden chess hidden in the countryside to influence the people with empty religious beliefs and illusory rumors.After all, it is impossible for people to survive only on religious beliefs and rumors, and they have to spend money on clothes, meat, and food. The leaders are very realistic, and they can benefit a lot from knowing who to follow.

Because the people of the starry sky provided a large number of tools called airships in a short period of time, and then instructed the local enfeoffment managers to cooperate, the nobles quickly built a propaganda network covering the entire south.After finding several designated areas for trial and error in the early stage, the nobles optimized and adjusted the materials and methods of public opinion propaganda.The current Propaganda Department of the Aristocratic Alliance not only has sound, but also images, not only relying on airships, but also a large number of grassroots staff who go directly to the countryside with various promotional brochures and opinion leaders to guide public opinion.The so-called opinion leaders are actually grass-roots managers in various places, such as town mayors, village heads, and even rich households and businessmen who have local prestige and knowledge.The results were also very satisfactory. In just one month, the Alliance of Nobles not only gathered people's hearts, made the southern people hate the church, but also dug out many church personnel who were lurking in various places to instigate subversive activities.

……

Since seeing the broadcast of the airship that day, York St. has found that his work behind enemy lines has become more and more difficult these days.The dissatisfaction with the nobles in the village, which was originally led by him, began to change. The biggest reason was that these nobles had only reduced or exempted taxes for two months.In the past few days of chatting, when he raised the topic of the Northern War, everyone even began to express their dissatisfaction with the church's war.Humph, these ignorant peasants willing to degenerate!The church is helping them resist the oppression of the nobility!He didn't even appreciate it.

Even the old man who tamed the howler worms who had always agreed with his point of view before had begun to recall bitterness and sweetness in the conversation with him these days.He even felt that the way the old man looked at him these days was a bit weird. Could it be that he had begun to doubt himself?You must know that reporting a church member can get a huge wealth of gold coins!That's enough for a family to live comfortably for a whole year.Do I need to consider moving to another place?
Lying on a recliner in the room, York St. was summarizing the gains and losses of the reversal of the public opinion war in the past few days, when suddenly there was a "dong dong dong" knock on the door.

"Who?" York Saint didn't think too much about it. It's not polite to visit neighbors in the countryside, and they have always been straightforward.Standing up from his chair, he walked towards the door and asked.

"Please open the door, we are here to deliver water!"

……

Not only did the nobles succeed in the war of public opinion, but they also launched a full-scale counterattack on the frontal battlefield.As noble armies armed with new weapons (submachine guns and grenades) headed north again, the battle lines that had been stalemate in the center of the empire were rekindled.But this time, the powerful party changed from the church to the nobles.

Doesn't your church have an artifact that can turn people into ashes as soon as they get close?Our new weapons don't need to be close to you at all, they can smash you into a sieve from a few hundred meters away, which is more powerful than your artifacts, just ask if you are afraid?What?Wearing heavy armor and a shield?It doesn't matter, it's still a sieve.Riding a howling bug in an attempt to hit the army array at speed?It doesn't matter, it's still a sieve.Dense arrays arranged in various shapes in an attempt to fight with formations?Then it doesn't matter, it's more convenient for us to fight this way.

In this way, in just over two months, the entire aristocratic army has advanced the average front line of the war by hundreds of kilometers, and some areas have even advanced three to four hundred kilometers .You must know that the current aristocratic army has not even been able to use the weapons in their hands very familiarly. A considerable part of the casualties in the battle losses of the aristocratic army came from accidental injuries caused by their own unskilled weapons.

The church not only lost a large number of lands that had just been acquired but had not yet been consolidated, the army also suffered heavy losses.This is why the nobles re-arranged the public opinion war while fighting to consolidate the rule of the occupied area. Otherwise, if they rely on faster cavalry troops, it is estimated that in more than ten days, the gang of noble troops who have been bloodied will be able to scream Then rushed into the gate of the king's capital.

With a bang, the table in front of the Knight Commander of the Church Judgment Order was knocked loudly, echoing continuously in the tall temple room, and it took a while to subside. table.

"Who can tell me! What's going on?" The knight commander's angry voice came from afar in the meeting room of the temple.Several faculty members who passed by holding the battle report couldn't help but shuddered, and quickly lowered their heads and walked away in a hurry.

"Where did those damned nobles get those weapons that can't even be resisted by troops with artifacts? They actually used the power they stole from the gods to such a situation?! How dare they? How can they?! "The knight commander's eyes were red, he gasped and asked loudly.He has reason to be so angry. The tens of thousands of troops who were guarding the front line were wiped out in just one month!Only a few thousand remnants withdrew back, and even many chess pieces buried in the southern aristocratic territory that had not been fully activated lost contact.

No one answered in the conference room, not even the archbishops who were originally on the same level as the knight commander, or even faintly above him, did not make a sound. They also wanted to know what happened to make the war so good. Suddenly it took a sharp turn.Everyone's face is very ugly. No one can accept the result of the jihad, not only the church, but also the people instigated by the church. Even the person who has not said a word about the civil war in the empire so far, It is impossible for His Majesty the King who sits high on the throne to accept such a result.
