To Four Thousand Years Later
v3 Chapter 144: visitors
The truth from Floros made Charles feel a little heavy. Although Floros reiterated to him many times, telling him not to take it too seriously - how can he not take it to heart!
With Charles' knowledge, he can no longer imagine the strength of the enemy who can see through the future Yahweh who can't face it. Perhaps, he can only face it after completing the main task of "entering the cosmic age and gaining the independence of civilization". Right archenemy.
In order to be able to fight back, the road to sublimation of the "golden race" is no longer a dispensable, self-challenging "achievement", but a "task" that cannot be failed. I don't know if I will break out of this infinite resurrection cycle after completing the main task, and I don't know if my maximum lifespan is the four thousand... But it still makes Charles feel a little swollen just now. Immediately became Cautious down.
Still down to earth, step by step. Charles restrained himself from playing. When the high priests came to meet him, Charles did not deliberately find fault with Kawad and his son because of his appreciation for them.
He was just being fair and open, declaring to them his reign as the new Holy King.
Facts have proved that the fools and lunatics among the upper class are, after all, the few high priests who at least intend to murder themselves, and there are only those two.
Anyway, the names of these two people were not green at the beginning. Charles hadn't even considered them his own.
Of course, it is also possible that the remaining high priests, after hearing the cruel behavior of a certain cute girl who "stomped your head off", were all shocked and became gentle and honest. Excuse me.
At the request of Charles, those high priests continued to declare to the people of the whole city, and even the people of the whole territory of Sassenpers, that Charles' rule was reasonable and legal. and the sanctity of his identity.
While this may seem pointless, it is actually a pretty important part of maintaining a stable regime. Because Charles is a foreigner after all. He is of Frankish origin. In the final analysis, it is only the descendants of the Romans, and the first order after Charles took office was to arrest the murderers and robbers in the whole city. After the news of the assassination of the former Holy King Kawad VI came out, and between the time he was re-crowned, more than a hundred bad cases had occurred in the holy city of Ctesiphon alone. Leaving aside petty crimes such as theft, only major crimes that should be punished by law were pulled out and executed one by one. For example, homicide, burglary, rape, and even arson. Except for the murder of the father, the brothers who set fire to the whole family of the enemy and the whole family of the neighbors were quickly arrested and executed by the holy guards. Most of the other murderers were was not caught. This is not because the murderers are skillful... but because the people responsible for maintaining law and order have already died before that. The high priests were not allowed to support personal armies in the full sense. The troops they used to **** the crown were usually used by Ctesiphon, and they also came from the military class. But more come from the middle and lower levels of the same class. They are eager to climb up and honor their families, but they don't have the ability or courage to lead soldiers and fight like their parents or even their ancestors. So they chose to defect to the high priest. Use the relationship of the high priests. Arrange them to serve as guards in the royal city. In this way, their descendants have a better chance of being selected as the holy guard as a price, and they will naturally become pawns controlled by the high priests.
Of course, the high priests did not have the authority to order them directly. Because it's not mandatory either. But that was more of a temptation than a threat. Unless it is the military class who have served as the city guard in Taixifeng for generations, those who came from other places, most of them went in the name of the holy guard, so they died cleanly.
Three noble Saints can even fight an adult griffin head-on. They are more than twice as strong as normal soldiers and have low-light vision. Can tolerate mild pain and hallucinations, can summon fire from weapons, and has cat-like balance. It can even jump in the air at high speed like a fork soldier who has upgraded his charge. In this narrow and dark passage, let alone dozens or hundreds of city guards. Even if there are a thousand of them, it is only a matter of time before they are killed.
As a result, the perpetrators found that their crimes were ignored, and gradually became more and more rampant; while the first batch of victims realized that the law would not avenge themselves, and became radical and manic, and even became new perpetrators. By.
It can be said to be a sinful carnival. After Charles became the new Holy King, his first job was to reorganize the social order.
He even sent all his holy guards
But he was so compassionate, kind and sympathetic to the poor. So much so that he dispatched all the holy guards around him. Eliminate the villains in the city as soon as possible, and make generous compensation for the victims, so that compensation and innocence for the innocent are fundamentally no different.
Except for the fact that his side is not completely defenseless, and the compensation is to take these two details from the homes of the two archbishops who were killed by him, everything is completely consistent with the rumors circulating at the bottom, and this is also common for Césifon Folks, this is the first time in my life that I have seen the power of the Holy Guard.
The holy guards are not noble holy guards, they have not awakened psionic energy and obtained some special abilities. But their equipment is exceptionally good, and they have undergone extremely rigorous training. The most important thing is that their usual diet is rich in nutrition and their lives are regular. Compared with the city guards, the execution ability of the holy guards is not only a level higher. More than 30 criminals were executed on the first day, and those who harbored them and their brothers were also executed. Several others who voluntarily surrendered were only imprisoned by Charles in Difeng, and they were not immediately sentenced to death; while the one who should have been sentenced to imprisonment was only fined.
Of course, these people were entrusted by Charles. So on the second day, a large number of criminals began to surrender. Charles unceremoniously locked them up and dragged them to hard labor. The frequency of other cases plummeted, and within less than a week of daily deliveries, Taixifeng became no longer chaotic.
People were delighted to find that their new holy king was actually a man with a heart of compassion, a mind of wisdom and evil, and a strong hand like steel. On Charles' side, however, a special secret guest ushered in.
