Devil's Bible

The plan was extremely simple, so simple that it was just a simple diversionary tactic.

And they never even considered that luring the tiger away from the mountain would necessarily succeed.

The greater purpose of this plan was that the nobles, when united, likely possessed a considerable number of steel-related items.

However, while these forces are considerable, they seem to be of little use in major battles.

In that kind of battle, the Ironclads weren't even considered cannon fodder.

In that case, it would be better to put them on other battlefields. They only need to attract away any one of the Gold-type combatants from the Fictitious Agreement, and that would be considered a success.

Apart from that, all that's needed are the elite of the elite.

Their objective was to carry out a special mission to destroy the legions built by Nems.

In particular, the fictionalists, along with those berserkers, according to the information Alice sent back, said that if the number of such troops was large, their combined power could even pose a danger to the Golden Seeds.

Churches also have this type of military unit, but they are usually stationed on the 'front lines'.

Although I am unable to come and offer assistance right now, I have provided a lot of advice.

These legions all share a common flaw—once they use a contagious ability, they could be wiped out in a very short time.

Therefore, against such an army, one must either have enough numbers to overwhelm them with absolute power and suppress them.

Alternatively, they might be elite members who exploit the legion's lack of flexibility using special methods, then employ contagious power to quickly crush the entire legion.

After having a general battle plan, the Holy Son did not tell anyone about it.

Instead, he gathered a few trusted people and said in a serious tone, "When I left Azure Whale, all my whereabouts were kept top secret, yet the fictional demon obtained the information so quickly."

"Furthermore, almost instantly, they took control of more than twenty teleportation arrays of various sizes on the Azure Whale belonging to the Church."

“There’s definitely a mole within the church who fabricates demons,” Nemes said seriously, which resonated with many people.

“Yes, this mole’s identity is definitely not simple.” Mocania nodded seriously. Isabella had also suspected before that there might be many moles planted by fictional demons within the church.

These moles are very well hidden.

And their status may be very high.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find the mole.

However, quite a few traitors were found among the lower levels.

Most of these moles were caught in the crossfire of fabricated agreements because they made mistakes, or because they were tempted by the benefits offered by the fabricated agreements.

According to them, the connection to the fictitious agreement is mainly through some special thing after the contract is signed.

Those special things were on them, but they searched for a long time without finding the problem.

In the end, the matter was dropped, but vigilance remained regarding spies who fabricated agreements.

"Therefore, we cannot use any elaborate schemes," Nems concluded.

"But this is also an advantage; we only need to reveal a little about our plans, and they will know."

"That way, we can actually conceal our true purpose."

"This might give us the greatest advantage."

"Once the teleportation array is established and the Church's main force arrives, we will surely be able to drive out the fictitious demons!" the Holy Son said, his words inspiring.

With a plan in place, the necessary personnel have been largely contacted.

Over the next few days, after making preparations according to plan, Nems and his team set off.

They marched quickly, making no attempt to conceal their movements. Perhaps because of the traitor's tip, they encountered virtually no enemies along the way.

Occasionally, when entering larger towns, one would find only a few 'fictitious agreement' personnel still maintaining order.

These people cannot be considered core members of the other side at all. It can be basically determined that they are people who were pulled from the civilian population and managed by a fabricated agreement.

The fictional agreement separates the extraordinary from the ordinary to a certain extent. The official members of the fictional agreement basically do not participate in the management of ordinary people.

Talented individuals are selected from among ordinary people and granted management rights through a fictitious agreement, thus achieving a certain degree of autonomy.

Mocania and his team didn't have many options for dealing with this type of person.

If they were all arrested, the city's order would inevitably be thrown into chaos.

No matter how you handle it, it's extremely difficult.

Mocania, in particular, was well aware that, on this point, fabricating a deal was exactly the right thing to do.

The church's previous governance of the area.

Basically, it's a power structure like the church, nobles, and local powerful families.

The church maintains order by upholding morality and rules.

The nobility were responsible for population changes, controlled the land, and were also the largest producers.

In villages without nobles, the power of governance is held by figures such as the village chief and merchants.

For most people, the church's principle of governance is to provide faith, then not to cause trouble, and simply to live peacefully as ordinary citizens.

The nobles' rule was to honestly serve as tenants for them, providing labor for their land and workshops.

For businessmen, it's much simpler.

They often didn't produce much themselves, but instead relied on the nobility, moving from place to place and profiting from the price difference.

The gray market activities that many nobles couldn't easily engage in were also their living space.

Under this system, ordinary people have very little room to maneuver and have virtually no power to resist exploitation.

As a result, they gradually ceased to be considered human beings, and were merely seen as beings who provided machines and farm tools.

Almost all those in power have the power to exploit the common people, yet almost none of them have the responsibility to uphold justice for them.

As long as not too many people die, it won't affect faith or production.

Therefore, when their rights are violated, there is no one to speak up for them, and they have no channels to speak out on their own.

The fictitious agreement, to a certain extent, delegates administrative authority to ordinary citizens, allowing them to achieve a degree of autonomy, which is indeed a more advanced system.

That's true, at least relative to this era.

So at this point, they didn't have enough manpower left to manage it.

So all they could do was warn the elected civilian administrators about the orthodoxy of the church and tell them not to mention the fictitious agreement again before they hurriedly set off.

Their immediate priority is to achieve victory, to defeat the fictitious demons and dismantle the fictitious agreement's rule.

Only then can they free up time to manage this group of fictitious agreement members from the common people.

At that time, whether to punish them or directly take over this system of fabricated agreements, we can discuss it slowly.

After this rapid march, they arrived near Qiquan City ten days later. (End of Chapter)
