Chapter 701 The Belated Judgment

Ever since Shapiro became the owner of Multiscale City, the city has not been as lively as it is now for a long time.

The new head of the Raimundi family devoted almost all of his energy to arresting the Blood Moon Society.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to throw many innocent people into dungeons and torture them severely. However, because of Herodotus' rebellion, the Silver Moon Church lost the right to speak among the nobles, and it was difficult to provide shelter for believers.

The entire Scaled City is shrouded in great fear, and at the same time hatred grows wantonly in invisible places.

However, the Raimundi family has ruled this land for thousands of years, enough to make the people here feel awe of them.

Coupled with Shapiro's brutal methods, anyone who tries to show resistance will be quickly eliminated.

Until the arrival of that man.

The attitude of the people in Multiscale City towards Herodotus is actually a bit complicated. He actually committed many crimes when he was in charge of the city for a short time.

The new army he formed was almost indistinguishable from bandits, messed up Multiscale City, and later created the bloody lunch that shocked the entire western region.

However, there is no harm without comparison. Compared with Shapiro, who slaughtered 2 people in one breath, Herodotus looks a lot more kind.

And the most important thing is that the Blood Moon Society has a very tough attitude towards nobles and heretics, and is willing to provide protection for believers.

The believers of the Silver Moon Church had had enough of those helpless days in the past, and the blood moon would add a little fuel to the flames in the dark, which completely ignited the anger accumulated in their chests.

In the end, they swarmed and killed the tyrant who ruled the city.

And Herodotus became the new owner of the city as a matter of course. When he was covered in scars and disheveled, when he was lifted up by the believers, the scene was really solemn and sacred.

However, the Blood Moon Society and its believers are too late to be happy, and will soon face a new crisis.

This time their enemy is the real master of the western region - the Figueirola family, one of the twelve nobles of the empire. The strength of the two sides is very different in the eyes of outsiders.

But Herodotus miraculously led a group of mobs to defeat the invincible Gwen and his [-] army.

This battle shocked the entire Western Territory, and at the same time answered the long-standing doubts in the hearts of the believers - who is the one favored by Picia.

Lined City became the holy city in the minds of all Silver Moon Goddess believers overnight.

Naturally, Herodotus would not let go of this opportunity. Instead of secretly executing his enemies as before, he followed Quintus and others' previous practice and announced that he would publicly execute them in front of everyone. trial.

Let the masses of believers decide their life and death, which Herodotus called returning power to the people.

Although the lords from all over the country strictly forbade the citizens in their territories to go to Multi-scaled City, on Judgment Day, hundreds of thousands of believers still gathered in Multi-scaled City.

Even though Ge Wen and Quintus were in the dungeon, they could hear the cheers from the street outside.

The acting city lord of Yanxue City had an ugly expression on his face. He couldn't figure out why so many people supported the Blood Moon Society.

Ge Wen looked at Quintus in the corner, and whispered, "Damn it, the trial is about to begin, Herodotus will definitely find a way to kill us, don't you plan to do something?"

"What do you want me to do? Lord Gwen." Quintus opened his eyes.

"I don't know, those believers of the Blood Moon Society also believed in the Silver Moon Church before, you can try to convince them..."

"I can't do it." Quintus interrupted Ge Wen and shook his head.

"You are the high priest of Silvermoon Church, don't tell me you can't do it," Ge Wen said angrily, "Don't forget who made you sit in this position."

"That's the problem," Quintus said, "your political allies, the people who put me in this position, are not in this city right now."

The high priest of Silvermoon Church paused, and continued, "I think I can understand why Herodotus was able to win this battle."

"Because of those damn trebuchets and clay pots filled with turpentine." Ge Wen said angrily.

"No, because the people of this city chose to stand with him."

"Those people were just deceived by Herodotus' rhetoric."

"Perhaps," Quintus did not refute, "but now our fate will be decided by them."

Ge Wen was silent, and after a while he suddenly said loudly, "What qualifications do those foolish people have to judge me? I am a nobleman, a member of the Figueirola family, and the acting city lord of Yanxue City!!!"

"That's right, but you are also a follower of the silver moon goddess Picia."

A voice sounded from outside the cell.

"This is a religious trial for the crimes you committed in front of the goddess."

After speaking, the man said to the jailer next to him, "Master Herodotus has arrived, take all the prisoners here."

Although Ge Wen was somewhat unwilling, he still had to stand up amidst the urging of the jailer.

Compared with ten days ago, he looked a lot haggard. Herodotus did not skip their meals, but Ge Wen, as the acting city lord of the majestic Rock Snow City, how could he get used to the food given to the prisoners.

Moreover, Herodotus did not prepare a change of clothes for him. The arrow wound on Gwen's body was only treated briefly. The priests of the Blood Moon Society did not know how to disinfect. stink.

Ge Wen dragged his injured leg and limped outside the dungeon. The sunlight outside made him feel a little dazzling.

What made him feel even more dazzling was the red figure not far away.

Surrounded by the crowd, the figure stepped up the stone steps of the temple amidst cheers and applause.

With a smile on his face, Herodotus made a gesture to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he said,

"Our church has been making a mistake for a long time, choosing to collude with those greedy nobles to satisfy their ever-expanding selfish desires, but forgetting who we really should rely on.

"We keep making concessions, we lose our army, we lose our power to protect ourselves, we lose our ability to distinguish between good and evil, and what do we get in return? We can't even provide shelter for our believers when they are persecuted."

The crowd burst into approbation.

"But everything is different now, I have come, not only to save you from the cruel and evil lord, but also to bring you the justice you have been waiting for.

"—A fair and just trial! A trial that you will personally decide!" Herodotus said with bright eyes.
