Chapter 1560 Declaration (Sleeping until nine every day)
Next, Duanmu Huai borrowed the training ground of the Principality of Logavia, gathered his soldiers, and planned to hold a briefing.

In the past, Duanmu Huai would not do such a time-wasting thing, but this time is different. After all, he will lead the army of the Inquisition to engage in a head-on battle with the Chaos Legion. Therefore, Duanmu Huai decided that in this world, he will no longer fight the Demon King's army alone, but will use soul cards to strengthen the army for combat, as a warm-up in advance.

Although he didn't have the amazing command and combat ability of Aikote, Duanmu Huai had commanded small armies in the game and had some experience. He didn't usually practice because he was too lazy to do it, but now, with the decisive battle imminent, he had to practice no matter how troublesome it was.

It’s like the college entrance exam is just around the corner. No matter how much you slack off during the day, don’t you still have to review?
But before that, Duanmu Huai had to hold a meeting to unify the ideas of his soldiers and explain to them the duties of the Tribunal and the judges. Princess Lizlet was also very curious about this, and Gideon and other brave men were also very interested in Duanmu Huai, a visitor from another world, so they also joined in curiously.

Duanmu Huai chose to start speaking now, which was a thought. Now that his soldiers had seen his strength and experienced it personally, it was the time when he could be most persuasive. If it were before, I'm afraid that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, but now... well, it is still necessary to unify their thoughts.

There were even many citizens and soldiers from the Principality of Logavia who came over curiously to listen. Duanmu Huai had no objection to this. He always liked to say ugly things up front, so that when he took action later, the other party would have no reason to say that they hadn't heard it before.

"Hello."

Duanmu Huai walked to the front of the stage, looked at the soldiers lined up in front of him, and nodded.

"I have called you together this time because I have something to explain to you. The first is about my identity. Perhaps in this world, you regard me as a hero, but being a hero is not my profession. Let me introduce myself. My name is Duanmu Huai, and I am the Grand Inquisitor from the Tribunal."

"Inquisition?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the female knight of the brave team frowned slightly. She came from the church and knew that there were heretic inquisitors in the church. Could it be that the brave man in this other world was also a similar existence?
Duanmu Huai also quickly gave an explanation.

"The Inquisition's duty is to protect humanity and eliminate any threat to humanity at all costs."

Hearing this, everyone became excited, but the next moment, Duanmu Huai changed the subject.

"But you must remember that the Inquisition is not a place of justice, and we never claim to be just."

“…………………………???”

It has to be said that when everyone heard what Duanmu Huai said, they were all confused and didn't quite understand what Duanmu Huai wanted to say.

Isn't it just to protect humanity?

"I know that in many worlds, various forces will claim that they are righteous and their enemies are evil to justify their actions. But the Inquisition does not need to do this. We protect humans. This is our duty, but we are not moral judges. We will not judge whether human behavior is right or wrong... For example..."

Duanmu Huai thought about it.

"You all come from the Summoning Country. You should know that the slave trade in the Summoning Country is very prosperous."

Hearing this topic, the soldiers below looked a little unnatural. After all, the Summoning Nation was able to become one of the three great nations, thanks in large part to the Slave Mark they invented to enslave the demihumans.

"In the Inquisition's definition, the definition of human is very simple."

Duanmu Huai knocked on the skull pattern on his chest.

"Skull, as long as your skull is the same as that of a human, then you are a human. In other words, in your world, what you call sub-humans are also considered a type of human by the Inquisition. On my way to the front line, I also saw how many people enslaved sub-humans..."

Hearing this, not only did the soldiers of the Summoning Country feel a little uneasy, but even some people from the Principality of Logavia lowered their heads. After all, buying demi-human slaves... was also a kind of pleasure for them.

However, the next moment, Duanmu Huai changed the subject.

"If you are a brave man of justice, you may not sit idly by. However, as for the Inquisition, we will not care about such trivial matters."

“…………………………???”

It must be said that after hearing Duanmu Huai's words, not only were the members of the Brave Team dumbfounded, but even the others could not believe their ears. After all, abusing subhumans was not a good thing, and many people opposed it. They thought Duanmu Huai would also reprimand him, but he said he didn't care?

"I've said before that in the eyes of the Inquisition, demihumans are also human. To you, perhaps demihumans are inferior and should be enslaved as a matter of course. Or perhaps you have many reasons, such as demihumans are the Demon King's lackeys, to justify your enslavement of demihumans. But this is unnecessary. In your world, in addition to demihumans, there are also human slaves. Aren't they also abused? So what excuses do you have to justify your actions?"

"Well………"

"this……………"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to say for a moment. Indeed, as Duanmu Huai said, human slaves are actually the majority, because subhuman slaves are scarce and are becoming increasingly difficult to catch. It can even be said that compared to human slaves, subhuman slaves are sometimes treated much better.

"So, as I said, the Inquisition will not care about such trivial matters. Whether it is humans attacking subhuman tribes and capturing them as slaves, or subhumans killing human cities for revenge, in the eyes of the Inquisition, it is all very normal. There is no such thing as justice and evil. If you go to arrest people, you will naturally be arrested. This is an internal struggle among humans, and the Inquisition will not care about internal struggles among humans."

Duanmu Huai stared at everyone as he spoke. He had to make this concept clear, lest someone take advantage of this to fish in troubled waters... There were too many similar things in the game. Regardless of whether the civilization was developed or underdeveloped, they all liked to use big banners to cover up their own problems, claiming that the Inquisition had chosen them because they represented the will of heaven, etc., so they were the rulers appointed by heaven, and that everything they did was sacred and just, and that any resistance was an evildoer against God... For such idiots, the Inquisition had always kicked them away without giving them any room for maneuver.

"But the Demon King's Army is different. You have all fought against the Demon King's Army, so you know without me having to explain that the skulls of demons are completely different from those of humans. That's enough. The reason I came here and am willing to help humans fight against the Demon King's Army is simple - demons are not humans, they pose a threat to humans, so they must die."

Duanmu Huai folded his arms and looked coldly at the silent crowd below.

"Do you understand? There is no need to deceive yourself with lies like we are righteous and the demons are evil. Just like you remove weeds from the farmland, it is because weeds threaten the crops you planted. It is that simple. Do you think weeds are evil when you remove them?"

"………………………"

No one spoke, and everyone's mind went blank. The members of the brave team felt a chill running down their backs. In their opinion, Duanmu Huai's statement was more terrifying than saying that they were righteous and the demons were evil!
After all, even if the demons are evil, as long as they turn over a new leaf, they can be accepted. However, Duanmu Huai's approach is to kill all the demons regardless of whether they are willing to coexist peacefully with him!
The reason is very simple, they are not human beings, they threaten the existence of human beings, so...all demons must die!

Is this the Inquisition?!

Even the female knight was speechless at this moment. She was also a fanatical believer, but compared with Duanmu Huai, the female knight felt that she was already very conservative...

Duanmu Huai wants to kill all the demons in the entire continent!
"Now you know the duties and policies of the Inquisition, so I have to explain it to you as well."

Duanmu Huai continued to stare at the soldier in front of him.

"As the Grand Inquisitor of the Tribunal, my duties will not change even if I come to this world. I will protect humanity and eliminate all threats to humanity. No matter the cost, no matter the reason. For me, the demons must be eliminated. No matter whether they are men, women, young or old, as long as they are demons, they must die. It's that simple. If you want to continue fighting with me, you must understand this. If you are willing to stay, then stay. If you are willing to leave, then leave. After all, you have your own cognition in this world, and the Tribunal will not force you to make a choice. As long as you don't stand in my way, then you can make whatever choice you want. Well, I have said this, you can think about it slowly."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned around and left, leaving the soldiers and civilians standing on the training ground, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

In the next few days, Duanmu Huai's speech quickly spread throughout the continent. It must be said that many people were shocked by Duanmu Huai's speech. After all, their highest hope for the heroes was to kill the Demon King and stop the invasion of the Demon King's army.

However, Duanmu Huai actually wants to destroy all demons?
Just kidding!
Some people think this is just a joke, while others think this is the only solution. Of course, there are both supporters and opponents, but these have nothing to do with Duanmu Huai.

But besides them, there were others who were also interested in Duanmu Huai's speech.

“How interesting…”

In a luxurious study, a young girl was sitting on a chair, staring at the letter in her hand. She had peach curly hair and a petite figure. The young girl looked lovable and full of charm that made people want to protect her.

"The Inquisition? Using this method to choose to eliminate the demons... Hmm... How interesting."

However, unlike that pitiful and lovable face, the girl's eyes were now filled with brutal and excited light.

Her name was Norn Kratarissa Giorar, the first princess of the Kingdom of Magical Equipment, the younger sister of the "Hero of Magic" Freya Elgrandi Giorar, and also the second princess.

Although Princess Norn does not have the same powerful fighting ability as her sister, the "Hero of Magic", she possesses extraordinary wisdom and is also an elite talent in the domestic affairs department of the Kingdom of Magical Tools.

The heroes of the Land of Magical Equipment are formed by signing a contract with divine weapons. The so-called divine weapons are unique to the Land of Magical Equipment. Their bodies are similar to red crystal balls. Only after signing a contract with the heroes will they transform into the desired posture according to the other party's wishes. Of course, Norn has no fighting power, so she cannot become a hero, but for Norn, this is not important.

At the moment, she was looking at the letter in her hand excitedly. What was written on it was exactly what Duanmu Huai had said in his previous speech.

"The Inquisition... looks like it might be of use..."

As Norn looked at the information, he muttered to himself.

The Kingdom of Magical Tools is different from the other two countries. They mainly collect funds from demons by spreading the threat of demons and then intimidating the people.

For example, they use excuses like "If the demon army attacks, it is dangerous, so the country decides to build a wall to block it, so they need to increase taxes" to collect a large amount of money from the people. Of course, the wall will be built, but how much it will cost is another matter. After collecting taxes, how to use the money is up to the country. Therefore, the Magic Tool Country has always used this method to intimidate the people in order to maintain its rule and domination.

But Norn knew that there were limits.

After repeated intimidation, the people are no longer so sensitive. The evidence is that this time the demon army really came in large numbers, but when the state raised taxes on the grounds of raising military expenses, many people not only refused to cooperate, but even developed antipathy. Although they only complained a few words in front of the state machine, Norn was keenly aware that if this continued, the situation would not be good.

However, it is also difficult to change the traditional system of the Kingdom of Magical Equipment. But now Duanmu Huai's speech has allowed Princess Norn to see a new path.

"Instead of viewing the demons as evil, we should view them as a threat to humanity and completely eliminate them... Well, this is a reasonable reason, and it can also encourage the people and nobles to join in. As long as the operation is done properly, not only can the demons be eliminated, but their territory can also be seized..."

All along, the Kingdom of Magical Tools has been on the defensive in front of the Demon King's army. Of course, one of the reasons is to present to the public the image of "we are victims threatened and oppressed by the demons." In this case, it is not easy to convince the public to admit the invasion of the demon territory.

But if we switch to the theory of the Inquisition, the situation will be completely different. There is no need to make up stories to prove the evil of the demons. As long as they are considered a threat to humans, they can be eliminated. This simple and crude but reasonable idea is really interesting.

In this way, the Kingdom of Magical Tools can naturally launch an offensive against the demon territories, occupy their territories, kill their people, and plunder their property. As long as the people benefit from the war, their dissatisfaction with the heavy taxes will surely disappear.

After all, demons are not human, so killing them or plundering their land and property is not a problem.

Although at first glance, it seems not as intuitive as the argument that demons are evil and humans are righteous, it clearly separates the two. No subjective judgment is needed, only objective facts are used to distinguish, which is simple, convenient and direct. It seems to be really useful.

but……………

"As expected, we still have to talk to the judge in person and convince him to cooperate with our country."

Princess Norn held her chin to her hand, thinking quietly to herself, and then made a decision.

"It seems that I have to meet with the judge in person. This kind of thing cannot be left to others. Oh, and by the way, let's call my sister along. Although she is a useless idiot, at least she has good skills and a pretty face. If the negotiation goes well, let her marry him. Anyway, as a princess, this is all she is worth."

Saying things that didn't sound like she was talking to her sister at all, Norn jumped up as lightly as a bird.

"Okay, let's get ready for action."
