  Chapter 185 Formation

   Duanmu Huai didn't care about the disturbance from the outside world. While the reputation of the Tribunal spread throughout the continent, he also began to build similar Tribunal organizations in various places.

   Duanmuhuai's first Inquisition organization was not established in Skyrim Province, but in Hammerfell.

  The reason is also very simple. When the Empire signed the Platinum Treaty with the elves, the content contained more than half of Hammerfell's territory under the sovereignty of the elves. Naturally, the residents of Hammerfell would not let it go, and this started from the war between the elves and the empire.

  According to historical records, in the war between the elves and the empire at that time, the elves had always had the upper hand, and even occupied the imperial city, killing and plundering it. After that, the elves have been looking for the king of the empire, trying to negotiate with him. On the one hand, the king at that time made the elves think that he really meant to surrender, on the other hand, he also secretly assembled the army, and took advantage of the elves' carelessness. Lu rushed to Wangcheng.

  In the end, humans successfully recaptured the capital of the empire. However, in this war, the empire also suffered heavy losses. A total of three legions were completely wiped out, and the rest were exhausted remnants. With this victory, the king and the elves signed the Platinum Treaty, ending the war between humans and elves.

  Of course, this approach is not incomprehensible. Although the king city has been recaptured, the empire has been severely damaged, and there is no way to continue the war with the elves. It is also understandable from a political point of view to use this victory to sign a peace treaty with the elves.

  But the people of Hammerfell obviously didn't buy it. They believed that the empire should not surrender after recapturing the royal city, but should take advantage of the victory and chase these long-eared **** into the sea.

   You know, so many people died in Hammerfell, not to cede his land to those elf bastards!

  In fact, because of this, even though the empire signed a platinum treaty with the elves, the rebellion against the elves in Hammerfell was still in full swing, and Hammerfell turned a deaf ear to the empire's order for a truce with the elves. They have made up their minds, even if everyone dies, they will take back their own land from those elves!

  Because of this, the current Hammerfell Province is actually half-separated from the Empire.

Under such circumstances, the appearance of the Tribunal naturally cheered up the people of Hammerfell Province. Considering Hammerfell's hatred of elves, Duanmuhuai set up the first Tribunal stronghold in a part of Hammerfell Province. In the mountains.

  As for the operation of this stronghold, Duanmuhuai was completely handed over to the night guards. After all, the night guards originally did similar work in the Yajin society. Cultivating fighters and so on is also their old profession.

   In addition to this, there is also the Holy Book of the Inquisition.

  In Xinghai OL, there is a setting that is very contradictory.

  According to the original setting, the tribunal represents the empire and the emperor, and each judge must praise the name of the emperor to fight.

But in fact, as the judges of the players, they are not interested in the emperor, and many judges even regard him as a heretic or even a spy who penetrated into human beings. They think that the emperor is not the savior of mankind, but just Use human beings to play a big game of chess.

   These players also have their own ideas and basis.

  First of all, the Emperor strictly forbids any superstitious activities by humans.

   At first glance, this reason seems to be to prevent Chaos God from being known to humans, thereby weakening the power of Chaos God. But if you look at human history, you will find that no matter whether you have gods or not, human beings will have certain beliefs. Not to mention that there are indeed gods in this world, so from the player's point of view, the emperor's actions are simply deceitful and meaningless.

This is the same as the Prohibition of Alcohol in the United States. The reason why the Prohibition was originally promulgated was that Congress believed that alcohol was the root of crime. Capitalists believed that alcohol consumption by workers would affect labor discipline and production efficiency, so the United States issued a prohibition on alcohol.

   The result is that illegal brewing and smuggling of alcohol are rampant. Prohibition has no effect at all, nor does it limit the occurrence of crimes. On the contrary, more crime problems have been formed because of smuggling and illegal brewing.

  The same is true of the imperial truth promulgated by the emperor at the beginning. Its essence is no different from that of Prohibition. It does not recognize the objectively existing facts, but has to be banned through subjective will. The final result is the collapse of the entire imperial truth.

   Players also criticized Imperial Truth on the forum. Many players believe that it is a misunderstanding to regard Imperial Truth as materialism. Because according to the real materialist dialectics, the unity of the world lies in materiality, consciousness is the product of the development of the material world to a certain stage, and human cognition is the response to objective existence.

  So in simple terms, materialism does not actually mean atheism, but because there are no objective facts to prove the existence of gods, so materialism regards them as non-existent. If there is a **** in this world that can be objectively recognized, then materialism will also recognize its existence.

Therefore, if we look at it from our materialist point of view, then Xinghai OL’s imperial truth is obviously not materialism, but idealism—there are indeed gods and demons in that world, but you deny them all, trying to use subjective Willing to deny objectively existing facts is itself a big lie, and it won't last long at all.

   Just look at the results.

   Prohibition was enacted in 1919 and repealed in 1933.

  The truth of the empire was still there before the death of the emperor, who cares about it after the death of the emperor? Otherwise, how did the state religion of the empire appear?

  In the final analysis, materialism is always stronger than idealism. Any attempt to influence or even deny the existence of objective reality with personal subjective will is meaningless.

  You say that gods don’t exist, if you have the ability, don’t give them shelter when they pray. While giving shelter, he also said that gods do not exist.

Therefore, in the eyes of many players, the emperor's way of promulgating the truth of the empire was simply a big mistake. He could have used some means to teach human beings to understand these existences objectively, instead of directly denying them across the board. Facts have proved that denying objective The reality of existence solves nothing.

  To be honest, it is better to distort human cognition with the kind of "the so-called gods are just existences with more powerful powers" than to completely deny the reality of the existence of gods.

   In addition to this, the behavior of the Emperor is also very contradictory in the eyes of many players.

  Take the restoration of the webway as an example, why didn't the emperor repair the webway before the Great Crusade was launched, and had to wait until after the Great Crusade? Doesn't he understand the principle that soldiers and horses go first without moving food and grass? And the facts also proved that the Emperor knew about the existence of the Webway long ago, so couldn't he repair the Webway before launching the Great Crusade?

  Of course, the Emperor is also a human being, and even human beings make mistakes.

  However, the emperor’s brilliance and martial arts are written in the imperial classics, which is short of him knowing five thousand years before and five thousand years later.

  Then... For players, this is a question.

  Either the Emperor is not as clever as the imperial tomes say, and he will be stupid, and more than once.

   Either the Emperor had ulterior motives, thinking of some unknown conspiracy, all of which were part of a grand plan.

  Because of this, as the judges of the players, although they are responsible for protecting and saving mankind, they will not fully accept what the Emperor said, and they may even completely deny it.

  When it was put in the empire, Duanmuhuai's behavior had long been classified as heresy.

  But now the empire is doomed, and no one pays him a salary, so Duanmu Huai naturally can do whatever he wants.

  The scriptures of the Inquisition Chamber are actually very simple. Protecting human beings is the core element. Any existence that threatens human beings must be defeated.

   Of course, there are also statues representing the Inquisition.

   A war hammer.

   After getting the blessing, you can get a 10% bonus to damage to races other than humans.

  The people of Hammerfell are tough, and the Red Guards are good at fighting. In order to fight against the elves, many Red Guards joined the Inquisition and became one of them.

   Everyone is waiting for the final moment.

   At the same time, Duanmu Huai was meeting an old man.

   That was the Emperor of the Empire—Titus Meade II.

   "Do you want the Inquisition to stop attacking the elves' sovereignty?"

   Duanmu Huai stared at the old man in front of him, his eyes were slightly cold.

   "Yes, great warrior."

  The old emperor nodded. Although he was not as tall as Duanmuhuai, sitting in front of him, the old emperor also showed his aura.

   "Now is not the time to turn against the Thalmer elves, the empire..."

   "I think you made a mistake, Your Majesty the Emperor."

   Duanmuhuai raised his hand and interrupted the old emperor's speech.

"The Tribunal is not a friend of the Empire. As I said before, the Tribunal is only responsible for destroying all enemies that threaten humanity. And the political issues within humans are not what the Tribunal needs to consider. That is to say... …The life and death of the empire is meaningless and of no value to the Inquisition, even if the empire is destroyed, as long as human beings are still ruled by a brand new country, we will not care."

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the old emperor's eyes flashed with uneasiness.

   "Is this... the attitude of the court?"

   "Yes, this is the attitude of the trial court."

   Duanmu Huai stood up and looked at the old man in front of him.

"For the Tribunal, any existence that threatens human beings must be defeated or destroyed. The sovereignty of the elves has proved their threat and hostility to humans with their actions, so for the Tribunal, they must be destroyed enemy."

   Having said this, Duanmu Huai looked out the window.

   "The time is almost up. It seems that the group of elves have already made a choice."

   Then, he said coldly.
