My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1383 1380. Come! Chant with me, the Goddess of Wealth is unrivaled in the world!
It was two days later that the Kakhovka Corps entered the city of Berne.

However, the large-scale chaos in the city had ended a day ago. The good news was that the entire city was not destroyed in the manic chaos. Except for some blocks occupied by bad guys who "rose" in the chaos, the mobs in most areas of the city dispersed on their own after a day of chaos.

This kind of large-scale action has no program and no command. It is driven by the anger and despair of ordinary people and cannot be sustained for long. It is like the ripples caused by a stone thrown into stagnant water.

Coming is accidental, going is inevitable.

When members of the Thorn Clan and priests of the Winter Wolf Church in Bernie City stepped in and used both soft and hard tactics to stop the chaos, the chaotic riots in the city soon calmed down.

But the bad news is that the order in the city of Bernier is visibly in jeopardy.

However, a chaotic outburst under heavy pressure did not solve the problem but instead set a bad precedent. The bad factors that really interfered with this city and its people were still there. As long as the problems left over from the "financial bomb" detonated by the Misty Sea Trading Company were not resolved, the seeds of this chaos would not disappear.

The desperate people in the city watched.

Their tormented thoughts did not yield any feasible solutions, and they could only passively wait for "relief" from others. No matter who controls this city, giving an explanation to these angry and disappointed people is something they cannot avoid.

But in comparison, the situation in Bernier City was considered good.

At least there is someone here to take charge in times of crisis, but the chaos in the unregulated areas of the five counties of Kavhoka has completely developed into a dangerous rebellion without any checks and balances.

At the end of the Ten Years' War, the Yankees took advantage of the last breath of the Portian Confederation and sent troops to occupy Cavjoka, and then implemented brutal rule here. The original owners of the manors on this land either surrendered or fled, and the new masters have been enclosing land here for only a year.

This was not enough to form a stable ruling relationship between the new master and the local people.

The scam promoted by the Misty Sea Trading Company had such a wide impact that it wiped out all the creatures on this land from top to bottom. When the crisis exploded, the small lords were simply unable to deal with the despair and anger of their subjects.

They are victims themselves, and they too are plagued by feelings of despair and anger.

Coupled with the series of "operations" performed by Andre, the fragile peace between the two in this situation was torn apart in an instant.

Kavhoka has fallen into complete chaos. Everywhere there are serfs slaughtered by their lords or manors burned by serfs. There are also more than a dozen gangs of bandits trying to fish in troubled waters. There are even some daring bastards trying to attack small towns with insufficient defenses.

It is really eye-opening that a province can be in such chaos when there is no foreign invasion at all.

It was under such circumstances that Count White Mountain entered the city of Bernie. The Kavhoka Legion was already under his control. After punishing some ruffians who intended to take advantage of the chaos and reassigning officers loyal to the Wolf Girl, this well-trained standing army became a tool for Count White Mountain to control the city of Bernie.

After entering the city, the fully armed warriors, led by members of the Thorn Clan, immediately marched towards the blocks occupied by gang members, and quickly extinguished the smoldering sparks in the city like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Taking into account that in the previous chaos, the city managers ran away or died, Andre could not even gather the administrative support needed to implement martial law, and could only send gendarmes to post notices on every street.

He would announce important matters to the people of the entire city in the city square that afternoon and require one person from each family to attend.

Those residents living near the city square hid in their homes, behind the curtains, watching in horror as the soldiers erected gallows in the square.

The number of these torture instruments used to take lives is quite staggering.

This is the time to settle the score.
This thought emerged in the minds of all the citizens who were watching this scene. Those who did not participate in the chaos were relieved, while those who took advantage of the chaos to do bad things were terrified.

The darkest humor is that because the city hall was burned down, the sheriff's office was deserted, and even the prison was opened in the chaos, resulting in these guys being unable to find a place to appeal if they wanted to surrender before the execution.

There's a reason these guys are so scared.

It is an open secret that there are a large number of vampires from the Thorn Clan active in the city of Bernie. Legend has it that those vampires are monitoring everything in the city. The Midnight Clan who are good at hiding are part of the city's public security system, and the wolf girl's brother, Count White Mountain, is the leader of the Thorn vampires.

In other words, the fact that Count Baishan is now in charge of handling the follow-up affairs of Bernie City means that once he intends to punish criminals on a large scale, all those who participated in the riot will most likely be sent to the gallows.

There's no need to have any illusions, those shady vampires know everything!
Therefore, as the time approached afternoon, more and more people wanted to leave the city. Unfortunately, the heavily guarded city gates were now in a state where people were not allowed to leave. The most terrifying thing was that three hours before the Earl's meeting started, monks from the Winter Wolf Church, led by a vampire, "came to check the water meter."

Neighbors gathered at the door and watched as the screaming people were dragged out of their homes, tied up with ropes and taken away.

The arrested people either cried in despair or argued wildly, but no one dared to step forward to stop them. Most importantly, the priests of the Winter Wolf Church were very particular. When they arrested someone, they would announce the guy's crime to the bystanders around them.

The crime time is accurate to the minute, the crime location is accurate to the street, and the victim is accurate to the name.

This clearly shows how horrifying the monitoring power of the Thorn Clan, a giant hidden underwater, is on the city of Bernie.

But the good news is that only those who committed blood debts during the riots will be taken away.

The priests announced to the onlookers with indifferent expressions that those who had participated in the riots and made "zero-dollar purchases" must return the stolen goods or compensation of equal value to the owners within seven days. If they fail to return the goods within the deadline and try to evade the law, it will be the turn of the Thorn Night Walkers to come to their homes in the middle of the night and invite them to "have tea and talk".

Such punishment cannot be said to be just right, but at least it gives those dishonest guys a way out, so that they won't do anything desperate.

As for the guys who were taken away
Needless to say, the gallows in the square were prepared for them. As things have developed to this point, it would not be enough to appease the public anger without shedding some blood, nor would it be possible to clear up the aftermath of this incident as quickly as possible.

The news quickly spread throughout the city like a whirlwind, and was immediately welcomed by the citizens who had been frightened in the past few days. Many victims even rushed into the city square cheering and shouting "Long live Count White Mountain".

Of course, such "performance art" could not stop the passage of time. By the afternoon, ten minutes before the city conference started, the circular square was already filled with trembling citizens.

Fully armed soldiers were on guard every five steps and every ten steps, each carrying a gun and live ammunition. There was also an armed airship belonging to the Great Wilderness Legion patrolling in the sky.

The scene was so grim that everyone was terrified, but some sharp-eyed guys saw a group of guys in "strange costumes" on the built platform.

They wore gold and silver robes, and gold and silver masks that covered their eyes and half of their faces. Some held scales, and some held holy staffs with tops shaped like gold coins. There were humans, dwarves, and even a few halflings and shadow elves. The racial composition was very complex.

Each of them carried a bible-like account book around their waist, as well as a special calculation orb holy emblem wrapped around their wrist with a thin chain, and finally some strange emblems and ribbons were embellished on their robes.

It was obvious that they were priests or pastors of a certain church, but no one had ever seen such peculiar specifications before.

These strange guys were standing together with the priests of the Winter Wolf Church and whispering something. Even if you were just watching, you could feel the alienation between the two. However, those customers who frequently participated in the internal training of the Misty Sea Trading Company recognized these people from the shape of the holy emblem.

They introduced it to the people around them in a low voice.

"These are the followers of Lady Dutna, the goddess of wealth."

An old gentleman with a haggard look and a cane whispered to several small businessmen beside him:
"I have seen similar emblems in the middle of the club opened by that bastard Ivankov. Even those scammers occasionally claim to be believers of the goddess, but how is that possible? The goddess of wealth is not an evil god. How could she allow her believers to do such a horrific thing!
This must be because the goddess' servants realized that someone was blaspheming the name of wealth in Kafhoka, so they urgently sent a priest to correct the chaos! "Then will the goddess return our money to us?"

A small businessman with a wound on his face said in despair:
"My family is already struggling to make ends meet. If I don't get the money back, my family and I will face death."

"The goddess is in charge of the world's wealth."

The old gentleman wanted to say something to encourage people, but the next moment a low bell rang, drawing everyone's attention to the center of the circular square.

The psionicist of the Thorn Clan also cast a spell at this time, using projection to project the situation on the platform into the sky at dusk, ensuring that every participant could clearly see everything on the platform.

Everyone fell silent.

Then they saw Count Andre, wearing a blood-red robe of thorns and a cold-fang sword at his waist, appear in the projection.

The handsome but somewhat feminine earl did not speak at length. He spoke in a cold tone:

"What happened in Berne over the past few days was disappointing. The mob burned down the town hall, destroyed the prison and allowed their hearts to be infected by violence. During the two-day and one-night chaos, 2087 people died at the hands of their compatriots, including 29 officials appointed by the Queen!
Such a thing would be outright rebellion anywhere!
I should have carried out collective punishment on all residents of Bernie in the name of the kingdom, but considering the reasons for the incident and the will of the God of Winter, with the direct pardon of the Queen, the collective punishment of Bernie has been temporarily cancelled. "

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the square breathed a sigh of relief, and many people shouted "Great is Su Shen" and "Great is the Queen".

Well, let’s lift up the God of Winter first, let Old Su also benefit from it, and at the same time appease the resentment of the Winter Wolf Church.

Then Andre said in a more severe tone:

“However, this pardon does not include those thugs whose hands are stained with the blood of their compatriots, whose souls cannot be cleared because of their evil deeds, and whose lives have been taken away because of their real crimes!

The God of Winter does not need such servants. After their bodies die, their souls will be taken in by the Midnight Mistress and the Night Singers, who will become miserable wandering ghosts in every midnight city until the sinner's spirit is destroyed under eternal punishment, and then they will be allowed to return to reincarnation.

Therefore, by the authority bestowed upon the Thorn Clan by the Midnight Mistress and the Nightsinger, and by the authority bestowed upon me by the Queen, I declare the execution to begin!"

With a wave of Andre's hand, sixty-six extremely evil guys were dragged to the gallows by the soldiers.

These guys were wailing and screaming, they were struggling and roaring, no longer the arrogance and domineering of the previous few days, some of them were even shitting and pissing, showing their cowardly demeanor, and when the rope was put around their necks, even the most bastard guys learned to be afraid and beg for mercy loudly.

However.
"click"

As the black-masked executioner turned the torture instruments, the murderers died in violent convulsions. The onlookers exclaimed in amazement. They saw with their own eyes the thick night covering these corpses in a mysterious manner, which fully demonstrated that Count Andre was not joking.

The souls of these criminals have been taken away by the vampire god! They will suffer every midnight until their souls are gone!

OMG!

The darkness of this continent also has its own power, a power that is daunting.

In the background of the continuous execution of criminals, Andre spoke for the third time, this time in a much gentler tone. He said:
“Regarding the financial fraud carried out by the Misty Sea Trading Company in the Kavhoka region, the Queen has held several discussions with the servants of the Goddess of Fortune and reached a final solution.

I hereby declare!
All victims of the Misty Sea Trading Company scam can get their principal back from the grace of the Goddess of Fortune."

"what!!!"

Before Andrei could finish his words, the entire square was filled with thunderous cheers.

It was a cry of joy, a cry of relief. All the solemnity and fear that had previously appeared disappeared at that moment. Everyone in the square went crazy. They waved their hands excitedly, and some were already in tears.

The faces twisted with joy made the Winter Wolf priests in the square look ugly.

They realized that the simple hearts of these people who were supposed to be the descendants of the God Su had been polluted by the power called "wealth". At least in the city of Bernie, this battle of faith ended before it even began. The servants of the God Su were defeated when facing the followers of wealth, while the priests of wealth did not express much.

Their gods do not need the souls of their followers, nor do they even need their faith.
That's so boring.

No matter how much praise or slander the world receives, it has nothing to do with them. No matter how much people like wealth, or how much they hate wealth, they can no longer ignore the power of wealth!

This is the result the goddess wants to see.

He does not need so much love and praise, nor does He care about slander and cursing.

When every gold coin with the holy emblem of Ms. Dutna circulates, when every transaction is completed, and when every contract is fulfilled, the majesty of the goddess of wealth will be revealed.

This unique belief system determines that Dutna will definitely become the most popular god, because she can coexist perfectly with every god that requires faith.

This also determines that Ms. Dutna will become the most unpopular god, because wherever her divine power reaches, all faiths will no longer be pure, and those souls will no longer find it easy to set foot in the kingdom of the pure.

"But, the deceived ones! Don't be happy too soon!"

Andre's voice sounded again, this time with a hint of rebuke, he said:
"The Queen and the Sanctuary of Wealth will only repay the reasonable principal in their decision. That is, after the trial of the Goddess of Wealth, you should carefully consider whether you have the ability to manage wealth. For those unreasonable and passionate investments with a principal exceeding 2000 gold coins, the Sanctuary of Wealth will not compensate you!
After all, the first chapter of the Canon of the Goddess of Wealth states that investment is risky and that one must be cautious when entering the game. Personal behavior also carries personal costs, and human greed is not something that kings or gods should get involved in.

Finally, it is the most important point.

After the rebellion in this land is quelled, representatives from Bernie and the other five counties will participate in the vote to decide the future of the Kavhoka region. Because the rebellion in this region has disappointed the king very much, Kavhoka will exist as an autonomous region in the future.

It is up to you to decide whether you want to follow Nordtoff in the future or choose independence."

This piece of news should be the most important, but not many people in the square cared about it at this time. They were all discussing whether the principal repayment amount of 2000 gold coins by the Sanctuary of Wealth was reasonable.

But then someone scoffed at the discussion.

Being able to invest 2000 gold coins means you are not from the common people at all. Gentlemen should handle their own affairs. You, a barefoot man, are worrying about others who are wearing shoes. Isn't this as ridiculous as the proletarians running to empathize with the capitalists?

Hey, don't be a bootlicker! You don't have to be a house, do you understand?
Now forget about it and sing praises to the goddess of wealth.
