Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 529 Black Dog of the North

However, when Perfect sent people to investigate and summarize the situation of the evil god sect among civilians, the conclusion was that the spread of the evil god sect among civilians was not that bad.

Although some evil cults did enter the northern border with the migration of native nobles of the empire, their spread was not exaggerated.

And another crucial point is that the lower the level of the people, the less they believe in these evil cults, and those who are bewitched by them are mostly nobles, businessmen and wealthy citizens.

These people originally lived a comfortable life, but after migrating to the North due to the doomsday crisis, their quality of life declined. They were dissatisfied with the Empire and the North, as well as their current living conditions, so they were bewitched and seduced by the evil cult.

In comparison, the lower-class people are mostly immigrants who have voluntarily migrated to the north. They know what kind of life they will face and have made sufficient mental preparations for it.

And after settling down in the North, thanks to the various policies formulated by Perfectcot, their lives are better and more hopeful than before.

In contrast, the nobles and the wealthy class are naturally more likely to turn to evil cults and try to change their current unsatisfactory living conditions by believing in evil gods.

What's worse, some of them are still thinking about elevating their identity or status to an level that they don't deserve.

In comparison, ordinary people at the bottom of society are more content with the status quo and more willing to maintain their existing lives.

They do not believe in the fallacies and heresies propagated by the evil cult. They only believe that the North has brought them a better life than they had before, so they want to maintain order in the North. This is a simple truth.

So although some people were indeed bewitched, there were really not many lower-class people in the North who believed in the evil god sect.

Even though there was no church in the North before, the people believed in Perfectoct, the Northern lord who could bring them a beautiful new life, rather than some unknown gods.

With such a mass base, the North's cleansing of the evil god sect was smoother than expected.

After all, the eyes of the public are almost everywhere, and they are often more likely to discover problems than spies from official agencies.

When they report various issues to the supervisory department, the supervisory department will be able to sort out the content it needs based on the information reported.

All that remains is to follow the map and eradicate those evil cults that dare to spread all kinds of fallacies and heresies in the North.

"My Lord Earl, so far we have eradicated and destroyed 106 strongholds related to the evil god sect, most of which involved nobles and capitalists. Currently, most of the relevant personnel have been brought to justice, and the remaining personnel with less serious crimes are undergoing further interrogation and investigation. After the relevant crimes are confirmed, they will be punished according to their crimes." An inspector from the supervisory department wearing a long black trench coat reported the situation to Perfect.

In the past few days, the Supervisory Department has been in the limelight. A large number of nobles and wealthy businessmen have been thrown directly into prison by them, and either executed or tortured.

So much so that these guys in the supervisory department were called the black dogs of the North, and it was said that they were all running dogs raised by Perfectoct.

The members of the supervisory department did not feel disgusted or dissatisfied with this. Instead, they were happy to be Perfect's lackeys. This was mainly because most of the people who could join this department were Perfect's die-hard fans. If they were not, they would not be able to join this department.

These people already had a high degree of loyalty to Perfect, and now seeing what they had captured and dealt with, their loyalty and trust in Perfect naturally went up a level, and they began to admire Perfect even more.

In this case, being called Perfect's running dog could even be considered a compliment to them.

Perfect also heard about this, but she did not interfere.

On the one hand, these members of the supervisory department are indeed loyal to her. Why should she care about things that they themselves don't care about?

On the other hand, the current social situation in the North is not suitable for any major actions.

Although this purge against the evil cult received unexpected support from the grassroots people and did not cause any social unrest as a whole, the tension still rose.

People trust Perfect, but that doesn't mean they are not afraid of the streets full of black dogs and tin cans.

Especially when there are those who resist stubbornly during the arrest process, the Steam Knights who cooperate with the Inspector often like to use 75mm portable recoilless guns to send those stubborn cult members and their bunkers flying.

In a sense, the North is basically at war now, and even at night you can hear continuous gunfire coming from the streets.

Under such circumstances, if Perfect continues to crack down on the spread of rumors on a large scale, it will really trigger a white terror that will be even more serious than the current problem.

Especially since the church's judgement knights had already cleaned up the major cities in the North, it would be really unbearable to have it happen again.

Perfect didn't want things to degenerate to this point, so she tried her best to restrain her desire to launch a larger-scale purge. At the same time, she told the relevant people that things needed to be controlled within a limited scope and the scope of the attack could not be expanded at will.

Especially when dealing with the people, the main focus should be on stabilizing their hearts and uniting them.

If they are civil servants of the empire, they will more or less be hypocritical in this regard, especially when it comes to the two basic requirements of stabilizing the people's hearts and rallying the people. Many civil servants of the empire will habitually look down on the lower classes of the people.

But this is not the case with the supervisory department established by Perfectoct. Most of them come from poor backgrounds, and their sense of right and wrong was formed earlier than they obtained their current positions. They are also paid, and they do not exploit the people like the military and police in the past.

Now with Perfectok's strict orders, they naturally strictly abide by Perfectok's orders and requirements.

This result made Perfecto very satisfied, and it also gave her time to shift her attention to the settlement where the plague had previously broken out, to find out what the current situation was and whether the research on the plague had achieved results that satisfied her.
