July 4th, 7am.
The sun streaked across the sky, tearing through the darkness. The sun shone on the earth, first illuminating the red flag planted at the highest point of the city, and the dark clouds dispersed.
"Raul...we did it."
Goncharov looked at the rising sun, stood among the ruins, and murmured softly.
After a night of melee, the team that launched the coup successfully captured the municipal building and even the noble manor in the suburbs. Countless people fell and countless people stood up.
"Father!" Wyson held a flintlock rifle, jumped over the rubble caused by the explosives, and ran to Goncharov: "The officials have been arrested! What should we do now? Should we hang them on the street lamps?"
Listening to Wyson's eager tone, Goncharov pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "No, put them all on the train and send them to Mosk."
"Send them to Mosk?" Wyson asked in surprise: "Aren't they going to be tried?"
"Although we have overthrown Saratov's government, we have not yet established a new order. If people want to live and work in peace and contentment, they need the protection of the law. There is no doubt about this..." Goncharov said: "Yes. Only the Central Holy See, Father Mavey and Her Royal Highness Katerina, can establish a new order."
"Oh..." Wyson nodded: "Then shall we wait now?"
"Distribute the food collected from the noble estates to the people, first to ensure daily food, and then clean up the ruins to ensure the residents' livelihood... By the way, don't forget to post the Pravda on the streets."
"yes!"
Goncharov commanded in an orderly manner. He knew in his heart that Saratov's uprising was only the first step of the coup. Whether the position could be held still depended on the outcome of the Central Holy See.
If Ma Wei cannot solve the Wisdom Cult and send Katerina to the throne, then the fruits of their victory today will have to be returned sooner or later.
These matters are no longer something Goncharov can interfere with. He can only do his best to maintain peace in Saratov and surrounding areas, continue to develop believers, and enhance the strength of the goddess.
The first shot has been fired, and the battle between the Church of Truth and the Church of Wisdom has completely broken out.
.................................................................
July 4th, 8 a.m., Petersburg, Winter Palace.
"Archbishop! Archbishop! It's bad!
! "
Basil hurried into the bedroom, woke up Archbishop Henry who was still sleeping, and said quickly: "Last night, the Church of Truth launched a coup!
! "
Archbishop Henry, who didn't fall asleep until late at night, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up instantly, stared into Basil's frightened eyes, and asked, "Are you sure?"
"OK! Just now, a monk from the Wisdom Cult fled back from Cherepovets overnight. He said that a coup broke out in Cherepovets. That city is only dozens of kilometers away from Petersburg. If Cherepovets A coup broke out in Povec, and it must be the same in other cities!" Basile said with horrified eyes: "The Church of Truth... led the people to rebel!
! "
"How many people follow them?"
Archbishop Henry stood up quickly, put on his blue robe, and led Basile out of the bedroom: "I need to know the scale of the rebellion!"
"More than half of the people in Cherepovets have chosen to follow the Church of Truth..." Basile's voice trembled: "More and more believers are choosing to quit the Wisdom Religion and switch to the Church of Truth! Archbishop, hurry up and send troops to suppress it. Let’s go! It’s too late if it’s too late!”
Before he finished speaking, another monk in black came to report that the city that fell this time was Tver, not far from Mosk, followed closely by Vologda, Vitegra...
On the western plains, the cities closest to the royal capital all reported defeat.
In just one night, the Church of Truth seized control of various cities and towns, and the speed was shocking...
Archbishop Henry had a gloomy face, and his mood sank to the bottom as he listened to the news of the fall of one city after another.
There is no doubt that this is definitely a planned large-scale rebellion. Cities in the Romanov Kingdom launched armed rebellions at the same time to overthrow the local government. This is the only way...
Only then can the Wisdom Cult have no time to react.
And the churches and monks of the Wisdom Religion scattered all over the country are no match for the Church of Truth... How is this possible?
In order to guard against a sudden attack by the Church of Truth, Archbishop Henry had already transferred a large number of gold rings from the Central Holy See in the Kingdom of Popon and distributed them to his monks. Astrology magic is extremely powerful. The Apocalypse God System relied on astrology magic to overthrow the Golden Age. The gods have re-sealed the Devil's Gate, and now...
Astrological magic actually lost to the Church of Truth?
"No...no..." Archbishop Henry frowned deeply and said to himself: "There's something wrong..."
Basile asked curiously: "What's wrong? Did we do something wrong?"
"It has nothing to do with us. Before the gods disappeared, the God of Apocalypse, Nelei Yinda, made perfect preparations, and the founder of the Apocalypse Sect, Yinzine Bojie, used all the magic used by the Apocalypse Divine System in order to continue the Apocalypse Divine System. All of them were brought to their own burial ground. Only through the sea of death can the magic secrets left by the Apocalypse Church be found..." Archbishop Henry said quickly: "The Apocalypse Church, which was overthrown by Peter the Great, has long lost its magic. , they only left behind some classics! It’s impossible to have parchments that record magic!”
"The Church of Truth is just a newly born church. They have no foundation. Even if they are lucky enough to get some holy relics from the old era, they will not be able to reproduce them on a large scale!"
"If their monks can use magic more powerful than astrological magic, then the Church of Truth must have obtained a treasure left from a certain era!"
Archbishop Henry thought of the month when Ma Wei and Yunia left Tyumen City. That was the only short period of time when they did not search for relevant clues. None of the monks from the Wisdom God Sect who went out to follow them came back...
Could it be that during that month, Marvel Enders found a treasure from the old era?
But which treasure left behind by the old era can defeat the astrological magic unique to the Apocalypse God System?
How did Marvel Enders know the whereabouts of the treasure?
Could someone be helping them secretly?
Archbishop Henry was puzzled. He originally thought that Ma Wei would use the vampires to launch a rebellion, but he did not expect that Ma Wei defeated the Wisdom Cult with only the monks he taught.
Archbishop Henry felt like a huge mountain was weighing on his heart and he was a little out of breath.
All events were developing in a direction favorable to the Church of Truth, which reminded him of the history of the rise of the Apocalypse God System. The creators of every era... seemed to be favored by the goddess of luck.
"Archbishop, quickly send out troops to suppress them!" Basil advised: "While they are still on a weak footing, take back control of the city!"
"No, no..."
Archbishop Henry's face was extremely solemn, and his cheeks were twitching: "There are 150 million people in the Romanov Kingdom, and there are many who support the Church of Truth. However, we only have 600,000 troops in our hands. Without logistical support, supplies are also a problem. , it is simply impossible to suppress on a large scale, and recapturing a few cities cannot restore the situation. Only by solving the culprit can we solve the problem once and for all... Pass the order!"
"Let all the monks and priests who are outside return to Petersburg, call all the troops, and concentrate their strength..."
"Attack Mosk!"
