"I understand! I'll call you right now."

Apke quickly took out a whistle from his coat pocket, put it in his mouth and blew it hard.

After a while, his chief assassin, Bernice, rushed over with a group of people.

After the latter understood the situation, he immediately formulated an attack plan.

About ten minutes later, under the leadership of Davian, a small team composed of guild elites set out along the sewers and began to raid the nests of other thieves guilds one by one.

There are no fancy conspiracies, nor are there any tricks like poisoning, sneaking into or buying off important figures in the other camp.

Instead, they broke into the door directly through physical means, and then started killing without mercy until the lair of a thieves guild was slaughtered.

With his unparalleled strength, Davian easily completed perfect assassination operations again and again.

After all, he directly used fire magic to seal all the entrances and exits every time, and did not let a single survivor go.

According to a certain industry leader, third-rate assassins only kill the target person of the mission, second-rate assassins kill everyone who finds them, and only first-rate assassins have the ability to kill everyone they see.

Davian's behavior is undoubtedly a first-class assassination.

Just as the Calimport Thieves Guild was being purged, two groups of people were in a tense confrontation far away near the market in the busiest part of the city.

One of the parties knows without asking that it must be a private armed force organized by nobles, wealthy businessmen and slave owners.

Their distinguishing feature is that their weapons and equipment are relatively good, and they generally have a certain professional level. They are basically either mercenaries, adventurers, or high-level slaves who have been brainwashed.

In addition, there were a large number of ordinary slaves who were threatened, intimidated, and dragged onto the streets to participate in the parade.

Out of fear of the powerful magical power of Xia En VII, although this group of people was larger in number, they did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

On the other side are the city defense troops and the Praetorian Guards who have just sworn allegiance to Shah En VII.

Since a large part of the officers have been purged, they are in a state of panic. Generally, their fighting will is not very high, and they dare not make enemies of these big shots who are usually aloof.

To describe the situation at this moment is to use a hemp pole to beat a wolf at both ends.

"These scumbags deserve to go to hell! They actually use innocent slaves as a shield to stand in front of them!"

Paladin Elorin's face was livid with anger and she clenched the weapon in her hand, as if she would rush out on the celestial horse in the next second and kill all the culprits who were hiding behind the scenes to provoke all this.

"Calm down! You are a paladin of Ilmat! You are not a simple warrior! You must not do anything that goes against kindness and order! Otherwise, you will inevitably fall." Agor said solemnly.

Warning.

Although he currently has similar impulses and uncontrollable anger, his rich experience over the years has allowed him to remain sober and rational.

"What are we going to do now? Watch these guys show off their power here, and then turn the hard-won decree to abolish the slavery system into a piece of waste paper?" Another paladin of the God of Justice roared angrily.<

/p>

Since the God of Suffering Ilmat, the God of Justice Tyr and the God of Loyalty and Courage Tom formed the "Three Holy Alliance", when a major event like this occurs, their churches, knights and paladins will

They often gather together to act collectively.

At this moment, on the streets of Calimport, sixty priests from the three churches, one hundred paladins coming from all directions, a team of more than four hundred people composed of warriors and monks, and

A small number of mages and warlocks.

It can be said that their strength alone is enough to have a huge impact on the current chaotic situation in Calimport.

"I think we can't wait any longer! This is a blasphemy against justice! No matter what the cost, we must carry out the bill to abolish slavery."

The chief priest of the God of Loyalty and Courage finally made his decision after much hesitation.

Because since the successful restoration of Shane VII, he has been the undisputed legal ruler of Calimshan and Tethyr in name only.

Likewise, everyone should abide by the laws he issued.

This means that the group of guys who oppose the abolition of slavery can essentially be regarded as rebels, and they are also extremely evil rebels.

Killing and suppressing them does not strictly violate the doctrine and the creed of the paladin.

"I agree!"

The chief priest of the Church of Tire, the God of Justice, immediately agreed.

In contrast, the chief priest of Ilmat, who was wearing a shabby linen robe, obviously hesitated. He raised his head and asked the two people before him: "If we take action now, what will happen to the slaves who are being held hostage? They will be injured in the melee.

Even death."

"Sorry, I don't have any good solution for this. I can only separate the slaves from the mercenaries and thugs behind them as quickly as possible." The chief priest of the God of Justice sighed helplessly.<

/p>

The chief priest of the God of Loyalty and Courage said in a slightly excited tone: "You two, I must remind you that this is a great struggle to win freedom, dignity and equality. Just imagine, if we are timid today, then

These slaves and their descendants will never have a future and can only be squeezed until they die. Slavery in Calishite must be abolished! No matter how much blood is shed in this process, how many people will be sacrificed.

, it’s all worth it.”

As the last word blurted out, the old man who looked to be in his sixties raised high the two-handed giant sword shining with white holy light.

Inspired by him, many paladins, priests and warriors couldn't help but get excited and started chanting slogans for the abolition of slavery.

As lawful good people, these people have seen too much of the dark side of Calishite society.

Especially the unscrupulous behavior of nobles, wealthy businessmen and slave owners who humiliate, torture and kill slaves for fun. Every year, some young people in the church will become angry, lose their minds, ignore the law like crazy, and rush directly to kill each other.

As a result, he was either killed or arrested and executed afterwards.

Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will quickly lose your faith in justice and slowly degenerate into a dark guard or a priest of the evil god.

Just when the fanatical atmosphere was about to reach its climax, Shaud Talovan, who was appointed as the imperial prime minister by Shah En VII, finally rode over on horseback and handed a document with the emperor's seal to the third party without saying a word.

In front of the officiant.

"What is this?" the chief priest of the God of Suffering asked in an uncertain tone.

"It is the authorization and appointment given to you by His Majesty." Shaud Talovan replied without thinking.

"Authorization and Appointment?"

Driven by curiosity, the chief priest of the God of Suffering opened the document in front of everyone.

After about a minute or two, more than a dozen people around him gasped involuntarily after seeing the content.

Hiss...

Is Shane VII crazy?

This thought came to everyone's mind involuntarily.

The reason is simple!

The entire document talks about one thing, which is to grant the three churches of the God of Justice, the God of Suffering, and the God of Loyalty and Courage the law enforcement rights within the Shane Empire.

In other words, from now on, their punishment of evil and promotion of good is no longer just instructions from God, but also represents the country and the government.

Especially the chief priest of Tyr, the God of Justice, was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Because this kind of power is exactly what he dreams of.

It took a full minute for the leaders of the three churches to recover from the shock.

The chief priest of the God of Justice asked impatiently: "Is this true? Can we really get law enforcement power in the future?"

Shaud Tarovan nodded immediately: "That's right. Out of his trust in the three great gods, His Majesty decided to hand over this heavy and sacred responsibility to you. I hope you will not disappoint his expectations. Also

That is, due to what the entire Calimport nobles, wealthy merchants and slave owners are doing now, His Majesty the Emperor has decided to regard them as rebels and kill them without mercy. In ten minutes, I will issue an attack order to the city defense army and the Imperial Guard.

."

"Understood! We will cooperate with the army's actions and catch these damn guys in one fell swoop."

The chief priest of the God of Justice did not hesitate to give his guarantee. At the same time, he carefully folded the authorization letter and handed it to an older paladin behind him for safekeeping. He planned to find a craftsman to build a transparent box to put it in after returning.

Place it in front of the idol as a witness.

No way!

Although Ilmat and Tyr have many believers in Calimshan, in fact they have always lived a very miserable life.

After all, the rulers of Calimshan have been in the evil camp since the beginning of the Shane Dynasty, and have not changed from the beginning to the end, so the Church of the Good God is always in a state of being suppressed.

Not to mention the power of law enforcement, even the power of investigation can only take action after receiving an entrustment from the government. There is no way to attack the source of evil.

But now it’s better!

With the power of law enforcement, the three churches can perform their duties openly and crack down on all kinds of rampant criminal activities, so that Calimshan, which is full of crime and chaos, can be bathed in the light of order and kindness.

Whether it is a priest or a paladin, this is a huge achievement, and may even be promoted to a saint after death.

Looking at this group of church members who were excited about gaining law enforcement rights, Shaud Tarovin couldn't help but slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said to the assistant next to him with a smile: "It's exactly what Mr. Soth expected. It seems that these three churches

It is not as extreme as the rumors outside, but it may become a powerful helper in unifying Calimshan and Tethyr."

The assistant echoed with a sinister look: "Yes! These elm-headed priests and paladins don't understand at all that we make the law, and they are just a group of enforcers.

As long as some ambiguities are added to certain clauses, we, who hold the final power of interpretation, can easily control the final outcome of the trial.

By the way, I heard that Your Majesty plans to marry that Lord Soth and hand over the entire country to him. Is this true?"
