Chapter 255 Dario’s Jealousy

For those heretics who were purged by the Inquisition, Rohan did not know their fate of being tied to the cross and burned at the stake.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. After all, assembling a powerful army and getting ready to fight the demon goddess is what he will deal with next.

As for the Jatu people on the other side...

With tens of thousands of mortal auxiliary troops as reinforcements, I believe that with Daario's military talents, it is still possible to find a way to guard Changhe Town as a border gate.

Let those Jatu people go to fight with the Noldor elves, and then reap the benefits when they are free. It is simply a pleasure!

As for the Demon Goddess and her army, you can ask Lady Mist to help monitor the movements of demons throughout the continent of Pendor and be prepared to respond at any time.

——Changhe Town, Tribunal Fortress

Hundreds of elves and humans in white robes were holding a Bible full of runes in their hands, kneeling on one knee in front of the sacred image of the Lady of the Mist, and praying devoutly.

For them to become the Inquisition, they must always remain loyal to Lady Mist and Rohan, and strengthen their faith in their hearts.

Praise Lord Rohan, praise Lady Misty...repeat 100 times a day!

Feeling this inner peace, every member of the Tribunal had a gentle smile on their face, obviously very satisfied with their current life.

"It seems that everyone is in good spirits. It is still necessary to remain loyal to Lord Rohan every day. Remember to pay more attention."

Located on the second floor of the fortress, Daario looked with satisfaction at the members of the Tribunal kneeling outside. Then he turned back to the table and asked the adjutant next to him:

"How is the arrest of the heretics? Master Luohan has personally come down to arrest those demonic heretics, so we must not slack off!"

"Don't worry, Judge. Our members are now spread across the entire Pendor continent. In the last week alone, we have killed thousands of suspected heretical believers and implicated them. It can be said that we have gained a lot."

Facing Dario's inquiry, the adjutant was full of confidence in the recent extermination operation.

After all, members of the Inquisition will not lie about military information, and every siege is carried out after finding evidence of heresy.

Although occasionally one or two innocent villages would be implicated and brutally massacred, but for the entire Pendor, this was just a small price to pay in the eradication of heresy.

Facing his loyal lieutenant, Dario picked up a list after thinking for a moment, and reminded him while recording:

"That's it... then let's keep up the good work, but we must pay attention to reducing civilian casualties.

Many mayors have already expressed their dissatisfaction to me. If the matter really escalates to Mr. Luohan, if Mr. Luohan is really angry, then not even I can protect you."

Daario was not completely ignorant of what his subordinates were doing, but because those civilians were also at risk of being corrupted by heretics, they had an attitude of preferring to kill them by mistake rather than let them go.

According to his original intention, he hoped that the Inquisition could be a little restrained and would not always engage in rude actions such as massacring villages and burning fields, or arresting robbers for military exploits.

Unfortunately, the adjutant obviously did not understand what Dario meant. After learning that someone had made a small report, the adjutant fell into a brief thought, then firmly raised his head and said with a smile:

"Oh...are you dissatisfied? I think I understand. Please rest assured, sir, I will handle those objections!"

"It's good to know. You can go down."

At this time, Daario did not know how serious the consequences for the public security of Pendor would be due to the adjutant's misunderstanding of his meaning.

——One month later, Lion City

In the palace, Rohan was sitting on the golden throne, complaining to the many Druch captains below in a distressed voice:

"According to the information provided by Ms. Mist, the Demon Goddess's army has never appeared within our sphere of influence, which makes me suspect that she may be thinking of ways to cause harm.

For this reason, I believe that just relying on 15,000 Druchi warriors and 120,000 auxiliary troops may still lead to defeat, so I suggest expanding the army again!"

As soon as this statement came out, many group leaders in the audience started talking one after another. Among them, an experienced group leader stood up and asked doubtfully:

"Sir, according to past intelligence, the army of demons is just an army composed of a large number of heretical followers and a small number of demons. Do we need to be so cautious?"

Facing the doubts of the group leaders, Luo Han silently took out a popsicle from the box filled with ice cubes next to him. After thinking for a moment, he said firmly:

"No matter what, it is right to be cautious. Besides, besides the demon goddess, we have other enemies. We must not let our guard down at this time!

Jatu, Noldor, and the Snake Cult, these are all forces that threaten our rule and must be dealt a heavy blow.

Even if my personal strength is enough to defeat the Chosen One of their main god, it will be of no use if I cannot regain the lost land and population on a comprehensive battlefield."

"That military expenditure..."

"You don't have to worry about this. The current revenue from the national treasury is enough to equip all armies with the strongest armor and the sharpest weapons. There is no need to worry about expenditures."

Regarding the issue of military expenditure, Rohan was fully confident. After all, the Higgs family's wealth was so rich that even if he squandered it for decades, he would not be able to use it all.

As long as you can ensure that your treasury is always growing, then there is no problem in spending some of the savings gained from the war.

Anyway, the craftsmen selected are all locals of Gran Town, and the currency will always circulate within their own territory. Doesn’t it have to return to their own hands in the end?

Looking at the group leaders and nobles below who were deep in thought, Rohan silently licked the popsicle in his hand, and then turned his attention to Dario at the back of the team.

At this time, Daario was closing his eyes to rest. As the commander of Changhe Town, although he had to come to participate in a group meeting every month, he was still quite leisurely.

It's a pity that although Dario wants to experience a leisurely life, his subordinates are a little unaware...

"Ahem——"

After gnawing down all the popsicles in his hand, Luo Han coughed a few times, then jumped up from the golden throne and landed directly among the group leaders.

Seeing that Master Luohan actually stepped down in person, the surrounding group leaders hurriedly made way for the opponent's broad wings, but then they heard Luohan's somewhat dissatisfied voice:

"I have heard a lot of bad rumors recently. It is said that when our soldiers are hunting heretics, they often attack weak farmers..."

While speaking, Luo Han had quietly walked into the queue of officers, and was immediately frightened to the point that all the officers knelt on the ground and recalled all the mistakes he had committed in his life.

Although they were all very dishonest slave owners in the past, they often bullied and discriminated against human slaves.

But since Rohan changed the laws and military regulations, and allowed more and more humans to join the ranks of the auxiliary army, they did not dare to openly look down on humans, let alone massacre them.

When the officers were lost in thought, Rohan's footsteps suddenly stopped behind Dario for a few seconds, then flew towards the golden throne, and at the same time warned:

"Because of this incident, many town mayors have signed a petition to me, hoping that I can severely punish the murderers who participated in the massacre and comfort the souls of those who died unjustly.

Although the matter was barely suppressed, many people witnessed the elves massacring innocent villagers, so please pay attention to your subordinates and don't cause trouble!"

After saying that, he took out a popsicle again and waved impatiently to the many group leaders below, indicating that they could leave.

The group leaders looked at the gloomy-looking Dario thoughtfully, apparently noticing that Rohan had stayed behind him before.

In their impression, Dario has always been a qualified lieutenant who obeyed Rohan's orders. He was kind to everyone, and he didn't look like someone who would order massacres?

Obviously, they did not have the authority to know the existence of the [Inquisition] and did not know about Daario's plan to eliminate heretics, so they could only attribute it to the expansion after gaining power.

"I didn't expect that Dario would do such a thing behind your back..."

"Slaughtering villages, Pendor is now our territory, is this considered killing one of our own people?"

"Hmph~ Those villagers can be considered followers of Lady Mist. They can still be forgiven for committing such a crime. You should thank Lord Rohan for your generosity!"

…

Hearing the constant questioning and ridicule from his colleagues around him, the corners of Dario's mouth, which was covered by broken hair, couldn't help but twitch slightly.

After the warning just now, he could roughly guess that the so-called massacre of the village was caused by the Tribunal under his command!

Those bastards!

I asked them to restrain themselves, but I didn't expect that these guys misunderstood it and thought it was to eradicate the root cause?

Seeing Rohan leaning on the throne in Isabel's arms and enjoying the 'Brain Pad Wave' massage, Dario could only sigh secretly, and then left the palace.

There is no way, the whole thing really started because of him, so we can only take action from those paradigm judges first!

————One day later, Changhe Town

"You guys are so brave. I asked you to restrain yourself, but you actually upgraded your status to massacre the village!"

On the second floor of the fortress, Daario was angrily looking at the many inquisitors who dared not speak in their seats, and began to vent the anger he had received in the palace:

"Do you know that I was personally held accountable by Lord Rohan for this matter? What a shame it is!"

Everyone, including the adjutant, sat in their seats with fear, lowering their heads for fear of getting into trouble with Dario.

Among them, several of the offending judges knelt on the ground and shivered, not understanding why things turned into what they were now.

It shouldn't be. Obviously every time they will massacre all the villages within a dozen kilometers radius, plus the cavalry are responsible for chasing and killing witnesses, there is no chance of an accident?

It seems...it was still not handled cleanly after all!

Almost everyone, including the adjutant, had this idea in their mind. After all, strictly speaking, this matter was indeed caused by their failure to handle it cleanly.

It seems that this abominable heresy needs to be eradicated more strictly in the future!

I don’t know how long he cursed, but Dario finally sat back on the chair with some panting. After looking tiredly at everyone present, he closed his eyes and sighed:

"I also know that dealing with heresy is too troublesome. Once a fish slips through the net, it will easily lead to the spread of evil beliefs in an area, but the method does need to be improved."

"As you command, my lord!"

Many judges immediately stood up from their seats and agreed with Daario's opinion with serious expressions. They seemed to really intend to improve the way of judging heretics.

However, the gleaming lights in their eyes made Daario couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of their words.

Looking at the many inquisitors leaving the conference room, Daario leaned back in his chair blankly, looking blankly at the statue of the Lady of the Mist outside the window and the soldiers on the training ground.

Seeing the elven warriors whose swords were shining with the light of the Mist Lady's blessing, and whose armor could be easily penetrated with every attack, there was an imperceptible jealousy in Daario's eyes.

Obviously he has been so pious and worked hard, why can't he still get the blessing from Lady Mist?

As the first lieutenant to follow Rohan, he believed that his loyalty and faith had indeed far exceeded those of the elves who had received the blessing.

But what exactly caused him to become the embarrassing state he is now, neither strong nor weak?

It's not that he is dissatisfied with Lord Rohan who always encourages him. After all, compared to other fear lords, Lord Rohan's way of treating his own people is indeed generous.

But at the same time, he is indeed very devoted to Lady Misty!

Whether he is responsible for building the Mist Icon in each world, or forming a tribunal to maintain the majesty of the lady, it is something he is willing to do from the bottom of his heart.

But why...Ms. Misty never responded to him?

Just as Dario held his chin and looked out the window, wondering whether he should drink to drown his sorrows, a charming and lazy female voice suddenly came into his ears:

"Are you confused? Is it because your god is unwilling to grant you great power?"

"who!"

The moment he heard this voice, Dario's sleepiness that had been silent in his heart disappeared. Then he pulled out the black rapier that Rohan had given him back then and looked around cautiously.

There were no traces of any living things in the empty conference room, which made Dario wonder if he was suffering from a heart disease, which ultimately led to auditory hallucinations.

After confirming that nothing unexpected happened around him, Dario quickly took out a small ball from his hand and threw it out the window.

"Although I don't know what the situation is, according to Master Luohan's instructions, the first reaction when encountering various supernatural incidents is to call for reinforcements first!"
