Starting with the defeated female knight

The simpler and more mindless, the better.

After some selection and experimentation, Wendetta finally chose a large cleaver formed from a miracle of blood as her weapon.

Without the double-edged sword of a greatsword, there's no need to worry about hurting yourself. The difficulty of operation is relatively low; all you need to know is how to slash and stab.

Compared to hammers, which have cutting damage and can also be used to heal after creating wounds, this weapon is indeed a very suitable weapon for her because it is formed by condensing blood miracles and can also be used as a spell casting medium.

But after it was made, seeing Wendeta practicing with the big sword, Tentae inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu.

—I laughed when I saw this story: I was born in Lane 23, wielding a machete and hacking and slashing, not knowing how I became a unique finisher, tricked into working for a shady company, got into a fight with the boss's henchmen, was dragged back to work, and finally, without even having attended elementary school and not knowing if I could read, I was pulled into the library as a linguist with a +12 power level.

But after watching for a while, the feeling of déjà vu gradually dissipated.

No, my brain works too well.

Moreover, his cultural level improved very quickly, so he didn't have that Ding Zhen feeling.

After completing the basic combat and miracle training, the tentacles made her sit down and then bend over.

[Very good, now you at least have the ability to protect yourself.]

You can even try to do what you want to do.

But is this all you wanted?

Yes, you're very capable now, but how much can you accomplish by yourself, even if you fight to the death without stopping for a moment?

In this world, influence and connections matter.

The lone wolf, fighting alone, is indeed cool, but its effectiveness, especially for the Empire, is negligible.

Furthermore, excessive violence, while it may stop some things, can actually create more chaos and cause more tragedies.

You need help.

For example, your former coworkers.

Not only because of friendship and accomplicity, but also because, compared to peasants or other imperial subjects.

Workers, due to their training and shared collaborative experience in the factory, possess a higher degree of organization than other entities.

Not to mention, due to the previous 'factory explosion accident' and the recent situation in the Empire, most of the original factory workers are now unemployed.

The already precarious situation was exacerbated by their past friendship and the material support they received from the 'kind elves'.

In no time at all, a new group gradually came together and took shape in the town of Myne.

But is that enough?

Of course not enough.

Blindly forming groups can easily develop into gangs.

They seem to be victims now, but once you unite more and discover your growing strength...

They too will become the kind of 'perpetrators' you used to know, repeating the same cycle.

Therefore, you need to find a way to establish rules for them.

Furthermore, in addition to setting rules, we also need to provide some benefits so that they can gain some kind of 'advantage' from following the rules.

[It doesn't necessarily have to be a material reward; it can also be a spiritual satisfaction.]

This is the only way to ensure the long-term sustainability of your organization.

It sounds complicated, and it is indeed complicated.

But it's surprisingly simple to do in practice.

The reason is also very simple.

That means Wendeta has a cheat code.

The kind elves provided various kinds of food and supplies almost unconditionally.

The miracle of blood allows ordinary people to gain combat power, or even the power to seize bloodlines.

If all else fails, you can always find a place to hide and call on the tentacles to conduct on-site Q&A and knowledge explanations.

And all of this is in her own hands.

So it wasn't too troublesome; after some education and rectification...

The workers, who were already educated and had a good sense of teamwork and organization, were brought together into a new organization.

They followed the various rules established by Wendeta and moved about in Main Town.

Help the weak and punish the wicked.

Combating crime and maintaining public order.

At first, the workers had no idea what the purpose of doing these things was.

The reason for taking action was entirely because Wendeta was distributing food; they treated it as a job.

But gradually, after they had been doing this for a while, they were surprised to find that the environment in Main Town was improving at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.

Although it is still far from what it used to be, it has certainly brought a bit more life to the town, which had been slowly dying and decaying since the factory was built.

Moreover, it wasn't just in towns; as they did more and their reputation spread, they gradually noticed that the way other residents looked at them seemed to have changed, and their attitudes slowly began to shift.

They didn't know what to call them, but they knew that being looked at and treated that way made them feel a certain pleasure.

Then, as this pleasure became more and more frequent, they began to do things spontaneously without Wendeta needing to urge them anymore.

In fact, after doing this so many times, some people have even come to resonate with the path that Windeda has pioneered.

In addition to the material and spiritual rewards, they also gained the power to perform miracles with blood.

This further motivated them and made them work even harder.

Meanwhile, as their reputation spread, people began to approach them, asking to join them.

The crimson color gradually spread.

The town of Maine gradually regained its heartbeat.

But it was at this time that the newly formed 'Blood Order' encountered their first formidable enemy.

church.

Although the church was the most anthropomorphic element in this industrialization process.

But precisely because of this, they became the biggest obstacle to the expansion of the cult.

Just as Tentacles said before, the church is the most reliable insurance when things get out of control.

But beyond that, they are also enemies of anyone who tries to change things.

but......

It's okay, no need to do anything.

Just walk in through the main entrance and chat with them.

I want to see how they can still deceive themselves when faced with absolute facts.

As it turns out, the seeds planted by the old pope were indeed effective.

To reiterate, the foundation of the church, and the basis for each member, is 'the beautiful miracle of faith from the heart's heart'.

Even now, despite having invented many ways to deceive themselves and circumvent the law, they still ultimately maintain that yearning for kindness and beauty.

Therefore, even after the discussion, the church still did not approve of the Blood Order's actions.

But they couldn't come up with a better solution, and they had already seen those changes.

So finally, after a long sigh, although he still said things like "Don't believe in heresies," "The church will never sit idly by," and "If you do anything wrong, we will never let you go."

In reality, however, they basically turned a blind eye to the actions of the religious order.

Even after their conversation, in order to monitor the cult's actions, they made a request to Wendeta that they all felt was a bit excessive.

“We will place people in your cult to monitor your actions.”

"Okay."

Wendeta agreed on the spot.

As for that particular tentacle, it was practically grinning from ear to ear.

Holy crap, is this for real?!

Then, as Tentacles had predicted, due to the church's inherent nature and the behavior of the cult.

Within two days, the people sent there were stained red, and some of the faster ones even learned how to unleash the miracle of blood.

Furthermore, the path pioneered by Wendeta did not conflict with the church's ideals; in fact, they were quite compatible.

The result was that these clergy members, having learned the miracle of blood, were still able to perform the miracles they had learned from the church, turning them into double-class high-level agents.

But this isn't even the end of it.

Upon discovering the situation of the double agents, the church immediately and urgently recalled them.

The original intention was to conduct ideological education and guide these sheep, stained with the red, to turn back from their misguided ways.

As a result, after a lecture, not only did the lambs not repent, but those who went to be educated also became corrupted.

As a result, bloodshed began to spread not only in towns but also in churches.

Then, because these spreading blood faiths were all part of the Wendeta Way, the result was that not only did the sea of ​​blood give the believers strength.

Similarly, as this belief spread, the dewdrops gathered by believers helped Wendeta move forward a great deal.

More ripples were stirred up in that sea of ​​blood.

In fact, waves gradually formed.

While changing itself, it continues to spread outwards.

The crimson color spread even further.

Starting from one corner of Maine, we travel to the center, to the church, and to the surrounding area.

After coalescing into a group, and undergoing further adjustments, establishing more rules and even 'systems', it finally erupted.

It began to spread to the surrounding towns and even throughout the entire empire.

However, the reason why the Crimson Empire was able to spread so smoothly was largely due to the Empire, not its own efforts.

After all, if it weren't for the rotten foundation laid by the empire over so many years, it would be even more disgusting to treat everyone equally.

It was still very rudimentary and crude. To be honest, it wasn't particularly well-made. Even Green felt that the Blood Faith, which wasn't even passable, couldn't possibly have gained so much recognition in such a short time.

Moreover, if it weren't for the problems accumulated by the empire being triggered by industrialization, causing the nobles and mages in the capital to be too busy to care about the spreading bloodshed, they would have been in trouble.

In a world with such extraordinary power, even a brainless deformed child, upon sensing something amiss, could find it in a very short time and extinguish the flame with a tangible hand.

Even now, despite the fact that the blood has already spread considerably and even infiltrated the church, the situation remains unchanged.

But as long as the entities in the capital can set aside their conflicts, even if only for a portion of them, even if it only takes a short time, they can arrive quickly.

Use the most direct and simplest methods to clean away those blood-red stains.

But the problem is, they can't do it.

And it's not just that it's impossible.

Even when the blood was spreading, or even just beginning to appear, the nobles were not unaware of the relevant information.

However, because they had gotten used to living in the capital and were accustomed to the superior bloodline crushing the inferior bloodline, they had become accustomed to this.

They genuinely believed that, for beings of their superior bloodline, all those outside the capital, even if combined, were nothing more than easily defeated chickens and dogs.

If it weren't for the fact that they need someone to support them, those beings who taint human blood would be better off dead.

The empire's years of hard work, the nobles' indifference, and the various behind-the-scenes manipulators.

All these factors combined ultimately led to the fact that the blood spread rapidly.

A fire broke out.

The people inside the house were completely unaware of this, and were even hostile to each other.
