 Chapter 1115 The army is coming

“Your Majesty the Judge, I, I didn’t know it would be like this! Please believe me!”

At this moment, the hair on Dardaniel's whole body was about to stand up.

The wanderer who went out to work hard returned to his hometown with the intention of assisting in the construction of his hometown, only to find that his hometown has become a cult den?

 This is life-threatening!

"Okay, this matter is within the scope of the Tribunal, just leave it to me to resolve."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand, and Dardaniel was relieved to hear that the other party did not intend to hold him responsible.

"Really? That's great, Lord Judge, that...I will definitely cooperate with your request! No matter what you want to do!"

"It's very simple. There is only one thing I want you to do. Eliminate all psychics on this planet and establish a complete psychic detection system... You should know how to do it."

"……yes!"

 Dardaniel decisively agreed. Of course he understood what Duanmuhuai meant, which meant that a witch hunt would be completely launched on this planet, and it would very likely evolve into an unimaginable horrific scene. Perhaps tens of thousands or more people would die in it, but for the sake of the Tribunal, Dardaniel still did not hesitate at all - after all, this was much better than the other party blowing his hometown to pieces with one shot.

 In fact, for Duanmuhuai, the latter is indeed more convenient.

 “I will act immediately!”

Dardaniel is also a decisive and ruthless person who can reach this point. On the second day after the defeat of the First Army, he signed the first administrative order as a Rogue Trader from his palace (or administrative residence).

 That is to launch a large-scale witch hunt in every corner of the planet to completely eliminate all the sons of the devil!

 Generally speaking, this is a difficult thing to do, but for cosmic civilization, it is actually not difficult. Just use an auspicious device to continuously scan the entire planet for psychic energy, then screen out those areas where the psychic intensity is higher than the normal value, and then send people to investigate. Generally, there must be psychics in such places. As long as they are found and killed, the intensity of psychic powers will be weakened.

Of course, there will be situations where the psyker cannot be found. At this time, there is really no other way but to kill everyone in the area and purify them. After all, this planet already has traces of being polluted and invaded by evil gods. Naturally, it is necessary to implement the rule of preferring to kill ten thousand by mistake rather than letting one go.

 As a rogue trader, Dardaniel naturally has no shortage of battleships and shuttles. Basically, Duanmuhuai uses an auspicious device to scan, lock the location and then give it to the opponent. Then Dardaniel will send his battleship guards to travel to various parts of the planet in shuttles, ruthlessly destroy all moving targets there, and then use flamethrowers or incendiary bombs to burn all the corpses to ashes.

  Such brutal methods naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the local people. Some nobles believed that Dardaniel was just suppressing dissidents and intimidating those with evil intentions in the name of destroying the devil's son. Although not everyone protested or even resisted, in front of Dardanelle's battleship guard, this group of indigenous people who only had World War I civilization were no match at all.

So in desperation, they could only turn their attention to the Maple Leaf Territory that had stopped and repelled the Dardanelle Army.

 “I never expected that the empire would be so cruel.”

Sitting at the desk, Rudy looked solemnly at the letter in his hand. Originally, he thought that repelling the opponent's personal guards would make the latter feel more at ease. Unexpectedly, the empire became more and more brutal and began to carry out large-scale sieges across the country. Not only were a large number of people with magical blood captured and burned to death, but even ordinary people who tried to stop the imperial army could not escape.

Some cities have almost become cities of death because of this...

"Perhaps it's because your actions, Lord Lord, have shaken the foundation of the empire, and I heard that the God-Emperor Religion has a close relationship with the new ruler, who is a devout believer in the God-Emperor Religion. Whether it is for political or political reasons The religious factor is because I suffered a loss in the Maple Leaf Territory, so I want to show the majesty of the empire elsewhere."

The blond man sitting next to him pushed up his glasses, and then said, this is what Rudy and most people thought. Because the Maple Leaf Territory repelled the Empire's attack and the latter's power was not as stable as before, they used this method to rule the people with terror... This was their idea.

“Many people have come to Maple Leaf Territory to seek refuge recently. Although it is a good thing that many magicians have joined us, if there are too many refugees... we may not have enough supplies.”

“Then continue to develop the territory. The Maple Leaf Territory has a large territory and there is enough space to accommodate everyone. In terms of food, using magic to catalyze the harvest date can be shortened. If that doesn’t work, you can also trade with other territories..."

 “Trade won’t work.”

 The blond man shook his head.

“The empire has decreed that any trade with the Maple Leaf Territory is illegal. Once discovered, no matter the organization or individual, they will be regarded as demon facilitators and executed.”

“The empire can’t face a head-on confrontation, so it’s going to use this method...”

Rudy frowned, his eyes full of anger.

“But, I will not give in like this, I will definitely overthrow the empire and let this country return to its original appearance!”

"Although I think so too, it's time for you to take a rest. You've been busy all day."

"yes."

Hearing his friend’s concern, Rudy nodded.

 “I’m going for a walk.”

　　After walking out of the lord's mansion, Rudy came to the street. Maple Leaf Territory was not originally a prosperous place, but now, there are more and more people here.

 “Ah, brother lord!”

The children who were playing in the square outside the lord's mansion saw Rudy's appearance and ran towards him with a smile on their face. Seeing these children, Rudy also smiled and knelt down to say hello to them.

"Hello, are you obedient?"

“Of course, everyone is obedient.”

These children are not local children, but refugees from other places. Most of them are children with magical blood who fled here when they were hunted down by the empire. The parents of these children were ruthlessly killed by imperial soldiers in order to protect their children, and these children barely escaped death.

 When he first came here, no one was willing to take care of them, so Rudy had to find a way to open an orphanage to adopt them. After that, the relationship between these children and Rudy gradually became closer.

"Brother Lord, listen to me, Hannah successfully summoned the elf!" "Really?"

 “Yes, brother, look.”

The girl named Hannah raised her hands with a smile on her face, and then Rudy saw an eagle-sized, shimmering butterfly emerge from it and fly around Hannah. And it also exudes a blue, magical light.

 “That’s awesome, Hannah.”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Rudy smiled and reached out his hand to touch the girl's head. Being able to summon elves is a symbol of the awakening of magical power. As long as the elves are there, powerful magic can be cast.

"I will work hard, so brother lord, you have to wait for me. I will definitely work hard to become stronger, and then avenge my parents!"

 “Ah, I believe you can do it.”

 Looking at the firm eyes of the girl in front of him, Rudy nodded. However, at this moment, the blond man who was with Rudy before came over with a solemn expression.

"Lord, I'm sorry to disturb your rest..."

 “No, it’s okay, what’s wrong?”

 Rudy waved to the children, then walked to the side and looked at his friends.

“Yes, just now, the elves who were scouting the border reported that the imperial army is advancing towards the Maple Leaf Territory, totaling 50,000 people!”

"What?"

 Hearing this, Rudy's face darkened.

“Although I also thought that sooner or later the empire would put another attack on the Maple Leaf Territory on the agenda, I thought they would wait until the situation in other places calmed down before taking action..."

"I think so too. Now it seems that the new emperor is eager to defeat the Maple Leaf Territory."

"But on the other hand, if they fail to achieve their goal this time, or even fail miserably, then the empire will be on the verge of collapse, right?"

Rudy's eyes flashed with an icy cold light, and he showed a proud smile.

“That’s right, let the imperial army feel our power!”

 “Okay, so what about the refugees?”

“We cannot leave them alone. Bring them all into Maple Leaf City and activate the protective barrier.”

The statue of the God of Magic in the secret room under the lord's mansion. When Rudy checked it afterwards, he found that there was actually a special magic barrier on it. As long as it was activated, it could protect the entire city from attack. The only drawback was that it required a large amount of magic. Fortunately, Rudy had reserved enough magic power for it to activate and activate the barrier.

As the news spread, Maple Leaf City immediately became nervous. Everyone returned home one after another, and fully armed soldiers and magicians also walked onto the city wall, looking nervously outside the city. Finally, after several hours, under the moonlight, the imperial army holding torches appeared from the other side of the horizon, facing Maple Leaf City far away.

 “Sure enough, they came anyway.”

Looking at the continuous fire in the distance, Rudy gritted his teeth.

 “Activate the barrier!”

Following Rudy’s order, the next moment, a barrier shining with colorful brilliance, like an aurora, appeared in the sky above Maple Leaf City. Seeing this scene, the soldiers and magicians on the city wall cheered. Rudy also turned around, looked at the soldiers and civilians behind him, and roared loudly.

 “With the protection of the God of Magic, we will never lose!”

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!"

 This scene was naturally seen by the imperial army on the opposite side.

“There is actually a void shield, which is kind of interesting.”

Duanmu Huai stood in front of the army, looked at Maple Leaf City in front of him, and sneered.

“I don’t know where it came from. It seems like this place is really heretical.”

"Your Majesty, will you take action now?"

"certainly."

 Duanmu Huai nodded, then raised his right hand towards Maple Leaf City and slowly opened it.

 “I’ve been fighting for so long, it’s time to fry the fish.”

 Then he spoke.
