Chapter 638
Chapter 638 – Chapter 638: Authority
Sander was sitting in the main hall of the Ryan family’s castle. He was drinking tea and reading newspapers. There were seven or eight maids serving in the main hall. If Dudian was here he would find that the Ryan Castle used to be simple and crude, now it had become luxurious. The Maids and knights in the castle were no longer pitiful. There were dozens of maids in the corridors.
There were more than 200 to 300 knights patrolling outside the manor. This was a status symbol for the nobles, which was as important as money!
These knights were the legitimate private military force of the nobles. The number of knights often determined the strength of a noble.
While hiring these knights, the town where the Ryan family lived was also different from the past. Four or five farms and pastures were developed in the mountainous area outside the town, which were managed by the Ryan family, the food produced was enough to feed all the knights, their retinues and servants in the castle.
“The new pope?”Sandro was stunned when he saw the news in the newspaper. He put down his crossed legs and opened the newspaper to read it carefully.
After a short while, he was shocked, “The Pope wants to abdicate the throne? How come there is no news about the new pope? Did the Holy See Block the news?”
He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. He frowned and fell into deep thought, “If the new pope inherits the throne, I wonder if the rule that the nobles are not allowed to be selected as Knights of light will be changed… it seems that we must get Jasmine and the others to join the Church of light as soon as possible. If the rule is canceled, it will be difficult for them to join the church again.” He immediately called the butler and asked him to call Molly and the others.
The Butler replied and went downstairs.
Sander looked out of the window. He was middle-aged. His thick beard made him look old. He looked into the distance with a trace of worry: “I hope nothing bad will happen…”
There were twelve figures sitting in the hall of the FELAN family. They were the elders of the 12th district. Dudian had killed the elders but they had been replaced by others. There was a black haired youth and a slender woman sitting in the upper part of the hall. The hall was silent as if there was a heart palpitating power enveloping everyone.
Dudian looked at the Patriarch of the FELAN family: “General Felan, please take a seat.”
Felan was flattered: “Thank you speaker.”
An attendant immediately came up to take a seat.
Dudian looked at him. The Felan family’s loyalty to the dark church wasn’t something that happened overnight. They had been loyal to the dark church since their ancestors, the most respected female general who had built a prominent military merit was a member of the dark church. The military merit that she had built and killed countless barbarians was done with the secret help of the dark church.
The FELAN family had been working for the dark church for generations after the female general. They were the biggest chess piece of the dark church in the Military Area! This was one of the reasons why the dark church would hold a meeting of elders in the FELAN family.
“Everyone should be clear about the dark moon plan.”Dudian looked at the elders of the 12th district, he said in a cold tone: “When the new pope takes over the throne, the dark church and the Holy Church will be one. In the future we will be in charge of the Holy Church. You Don’t have to live in the dark anymore. I believe that when the Holy Church falls into our hands the military and the magistrate will be under our control.”
He said “We”but not “I”. Many people secretly noticed that although they didn’t know whether Dudian meant it or not but they were a bit excited and expectant.
“All of this is the credit of the speaker. I will listen to your orders!”One of the strong men said. If Dudian was the speaker then everyone was afraid of him, but now they were more convinced and expectant. After all, in a short period of time the Holy Church would no longer be the opponent of the dark church but a servant!
As a member of the dark church who had been suppressed by the Holy Church for a long time, this kind of thing had only occurred to him in his dreams. Normally he wouldn’t dare to think about it but now it had become a reality!
How could this not be exciting? !
Dudian nodded, “The civilians don’t know enough about the new pope. I hope that you will fully implement the Dark Moon Plan. In addition to the highest core chess pieces, there is no need to hide our chess pieces in other forces. Now is the time for them to play a role!”
“Sir, these civilians don’t know anything about the new pope. Can they be convinced by their words?”Someone asked in a worried tone.
“Don’t underestimate the power of Authority!”Dudian said in a cold tone: “There was a good example. A deacon of the magistrate easily judged a case without a detailed investigation. He said that he was guilty. So the person who was wronged was really guilty. No one would believe that a deacon would judge a case wrongly. This is the power of Authority!”
The person who spoke earlier was silent.
“My Lord, when the Holy Church falls into our hands, will we be able to rule the entire outer wall?”The eyes of the cold youth who replaced the ‘Night King’who was one of the three kings lit up.
Dudian indifferently glanced at him, “The other forces aren’t fools. They haven’t taken any action yet because they aren’t sure. They will know that the holy church is under our control sooner or later. Don’t forget that there will be spies and pawns in the holy church and US.”
Everyone’s face slightly changed as they looked at each other.
Dudian raised his hand to suppress the commotion: “There is no need to doubt each other. The outer wall will fall into our hands sooner or later. It is useless for them to know. Who Can Stop the Holy Church from joining forces with us?”
“The speaker is right.”Someone agreed.
The respected sword king also expressed his stance, “The speaker is right. If the Holy Church joins forces with us, the military region will be vulnerable. As for the magistrate and the Knight’s hall… They are paper tigers. In the past they had formed a triangle with the military region and the Holy Church. Now that the Holy Church has fallen, they can only submit!”
“Well said!”
Everyone was excited and excited.
Dudian saw that everyone was in high spirits so he began to talk about his plan. The plan also established the prevention of interference from the inner wall. Seeing that Dudian had thought so thoroughly, the others were more and more scared and awed. After all, not everyone thought so simply. Once the outer wall was unified, the biggest problem they would face would be the inner wall.
However, no one dared to voice out their worries. It was the same as pouring cold water on them. Moreover, it would offend dudian.
This was a person who dared to casually kill the Night King. It wouldn’t be worth it if he was killed.
However, after listening to Dudian’s plan, this worry slowly disappeared.
“The chairman has considered everything.”An old man sighed in admiration.
“I have seen the chairman’s strategy and talent when I was in the ninth region. Today I have learned it. It is really admirable!”Hawkeye who was sitting in the position of the elder of the ninth region immediately complimented.
Dudian waved his hand: “Everyone remember it.”
Everyone got up and left one after another.
Dudian saw the sword king get up. He glanced at the attendant behind him. From the looks of it it was similar to the portrait of Riley that he got from Richelieu, “Sword King, I like your attendant. Can you give him to me?”
