Chapter 373: Controlling the city of Ankola and Prince Chuqi’s soft-heartedness.

Blaney arranged reservations for two meals a day, taking into account every detail, just to allow the magicians to have a good day of rest.

Knowing that the magicians had consumed a lot of energy and magic power in the previous battles, they needed sufficient rest and nutrition to recover.

Afterwards, Blaney had a good chat with Senior Doomsday Fireball and learned that the royal guards had already taken control of the City Lord's Mansion. They did not follow Kashin into the jungle to encircle the city, so their military strength was sufficient.

This news made Blaney feel a little relieved and gave him more confidence for the next action.

"Senior, let's do it tomorrow! We will wipe out the entire family of the twelve earls and transport the food directly into the city. If they are any church members, we will kill them all..." Blaney's expression was serious and firm, and his eyes revealed decisiveness and determination.

"Ah, it's outrageous to let our people do this..." Senior Doomsday was dissatisfied. Although the truth was correct, a magician could not do such a job of killing innocent people.

The senior frowned, he adhered to some principles and bottom line of the magician.

Blaney smiled and said, "Each of the royal guards will bring three followers with them, so we have enough manpower. Let the civilians take action. The twelve earls outside will be sentenced to extermination, and then a group of church members will be killed. When the palace sends the lord, they will redistribute the people to restore vitality. So we have to act quickly. The magician can help us speed up..." Blaney patiently explained his plan, trying to convince Senior Doomsday Fireball.

Doomsday Fireball: "You want to restore order quickly, right? I never expected that the Kingdom of Pumasai would be in such a mess. To be honest, the so-called royal authority is gone, and the whole country is in disorder." Doomsday Fireball's tone was heavy, full of worry about the current situation of the kingdom.

Blaney smiled and said, "In fact, all countries are the same. Once they fall out with the church, it's all the same. The Kingdom of Pumasay just couldn't stand it any longer. The kingdom is parasitized by religion, and it is absolutely miserable. The royal power has long been lost. Under the authority of the church, the king is also afraid and can only compromise.

It was just that the Kingdom of Pumasai took the initiative. Which country has more believers than normal? If the magicians don't care, there may be no magic apprentices... The dark social environment is likely to kill the chance of magic apprentices being born. In essence, magicians and the church cannot live in peace..." Blayney's words reveal a deep insight into social reality.

Senior Doomsday agreed that a religion that fools the people would stifle human nature, so there would naturally be fewer magic apprentices. Most civilians were illiterate, so social education could not be promoted, and the economy could not be improved. Could one make a living by studying those doctrines all day long?

The excessive expansion of religion often hinders the progress and development of society. The constraints of doctrine also limit people's freedom of thought and creativity.

For example, in some countries in the past, religion’s monopoly on education led to the closure of knowledge and difficulties in inheritance, which greatly inhibited the development of science and culture.

In short, in this complex social context, the actions of Blainey and others were not only to restore order, but also to break the shackles of religion and push society towards a more progressive and prosperous direction.

In the afternoon, Prince Chu Qi moved into the City Lord's Mansion with a group of civil and military officials. After taking control of the power, he opened the mansion to work. The teleportation array continuously transported people, especially 1,500 people who came on other mounts carrying the imperial guards, gradually restoring order in the city.

Although the citizens were panic-stricken, they could do nothing about it. Their fate was controlled by the rulers, so there was no point in being anxious.

However, in the evening, Prince Chu Qi invited Miss Blainey to the city lord's mansion for a banquet to discuss the city's measures...

Prince Chuqi, the king's second son, was already extraordinarily handsome when he was twenty years old.

He is tall and slender, with a strong and powerful figure, broad shoulders, and a face like a finely carved jade with clear contours.

A pair of sword-like eyebrows slanted into the temples, thick and neat, sharp and full of charm.

Those eyes were as deep as a deep pool, revealing intelligence and courage. His high nose bridge was as straight as a mountain, and his nostrils flared slightly, showing his noble temperament.

Her lips were neither thick nor thin, perfectly outlining a charming smile; her skin exuded a healthy luster, like the color of wheat kissed by the sun, smooth and firm.

Prince Chuqi always wore gorgeous and appropriate clothes, a long robe made of brocade, embroidered with exquisite patterns, and the gold thread sparkled in the sun.

He wore a jewel-studded belt around his waist, which made his waist look even taller. His steps were steady and graceful…

"Miss Blaney, the king has been waiting for you for a long time. Please go to the restaurant for the banquet..."

"Your Highness, you are welcome. How can you find time to host a banquet in your busy schedule?" Miss Blaney smiled and performed the etiquette of monarch and subject...

As they were escorted into the hall by a group of people, they sat down as king and his ministers. The dishes were very ordinary, which was already a very sincere gesture.

Prince Chu Qi asked many questions. Blainey said frankly that he would start attacking the territories of the twelve earls tomorrow and let the palace send lords to settle them. The city would start to purge the believers and save food...

It is said to be to save food, but in fact it is a synonym for massacre. Behind this seemingly cruel method lies the royal family's attitude towards future governance. The society will not leave food for believers.

The royal family members have already learned how to deal with the complex and changing situation in the long-term power struggle and political whirlpool.

Purging the Christians was an extremely accurate move at this time. Only when the whole country broke away from the influence of religion and liberated people from the shackles of thought could a new path be opened up for the country's development.

The conversation with Prince Chu Qi lasted for three hours, during which the two discussed in depth the issues of war and governance.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn, with heated arguments sometimes heard and brief contemplation from time to time.

The plan was basically agreed upon. Two hundred imperial guards were left in the city and the city was sealed off. The original troops were of varying quality and could not be moved for the time being, so they had to stay and guard the city first.

This decision was made based on an objective assessment of the existing forces and careful judgment of the situation.

The magician group will go out of the city to fight tomorrow, which is undoubtedly a powerful force. Prince Chu Qi sent the court magician back to ask for twelve lords to come and rule here.

If these twelve lords arrive, they will bring new order and management to this land.

There are always families that have made contributions in the capital. It is only natural to reward those families with a title, and giving these families the opportunity to expand and flourish can be regarded as a grace to the meritorious officials.

In the game of power, it is very important to take sides. If you flirt with the church and have not yet made any profit, your entire family will be destroyed.

There is no cultural soil to develop the county system. The so-called new order today is just a change of name and cannot achieve epoch-making progress.

Creating something from nothing is never a matter of course. Sometimes it is impossible to trigger new laws. Now it is just that a new group of nobles rule the country.

There are many such examples in history. Families that stand on the wrong side at critical moments often end up in a tragic end.

"Your Highness, this is a good arrangement. It will quickly restore order. I hope the lords sent by the king will be good at fighting and quickly make the territory combat-ready." Blaney was full of expectations, with a vision of the future in his eyes.

"Miss Blaney, thank you magician for your help in taking over those territories. My father will have his own arrangements. The civilians should not be alarmed for now. We will talk about it after these lords take control of the territories..."

Prince Chu Qi's tone was firm and calm. He didn't want to start a massacre and argue with Blainey.

The prince, who has no social experience, should take lessons. Blainey doesn't force it when he sees that it doesn't make sense. It doesn't matter to the overall situation anyway. The prince has the capital to make mistakes, so it would be good for him to broaden his horizons.

The prince is just being too soft-hearted. The worst that can happen is that a group of civilians will be killed in the future. Blainey believes that human lives are worthless at this time and are completely unimportant. As long as the overall situation remains the same, it will not matter.
