There was no need to explain the process of dealing with Doante. Nadia, who had regained her divine favor and even became a God's kin, had her strength greatly increased. It was more than enough to deal with those undead creatures. She almost killed her way into the city lord's mansion alone and killed Doante, who had already turned into an undead creature. After opening the city gate, Oldman also led the soldiers in and killed the wandering undead creatures with the help of the Temple of True Eye.
Since the holy light of the lighthouse had weakened the fighting power of those undead creatures, it was much easier for Oldman than to attack the city.
However, the process was easy, but it didn't mean that the result was the same.
When everything was over, the crowd counted and found that the entire Tarkus City was almost completely paralyzed. Only one-tenth of the people survived, and the rest were completely dead.
In order to prevent the plague from spreading after death, the Temple and Oldman had to cremate the dead day and night.
As a result, thick smoke was everywhere in Tarkus City. Those who didn't know would think that there was a fierce battle here.
After that, this matter was naturally reported by the angry Eye of True Eye to the Bishop Howard of the Church of Holy Light in the Eagle Plateau.
After learning this news, the Church of Holy Light was first shocked, then furious!
The conflict between the nobles and the commoners had been going on for a long time, but they didn't expect that there would be a noble so crazy that he would even drag the people of an entire city to fight against the undead creatures.
This was simply evil to the point that it made people's hair stand on end!
Since Doante was a member of the Soros family, the Church of Holy Light naturally protested and condemned the Soros family. The Soros family's response was the same as always. This was the behavior of an individual in the family and had nothing to do with the Soros family. They didn't know anything …
This kind of nonsense could only deceive a three-year-old child. Moreover, the Soros family had already used this excuse once during Alexander's time. This time, the Church of Holy Light wouldn't believe their excuse no matter what.
Saint Seiya wouldn't be hit by the same attack twice. As the Church of Holy Light, it would be a joke if they were to fail twice in the same gutter.
Just as the Church of Holy See and the Soros Family were at loggerheads, Zayen and Oldman finally met the Bishop of the Eye of Truth in the city of Tarkus under Nadia's introduction.
"Hello, Bishop."
"Hello."
Gazing at the half-elf Ranger and the man in leather armor, the bishop nodded slightly.
After burning and purifying the bodies of the undead, the National Freedom Army marched into Tarkus City.
Of course, many of them weren't too willing to do so. After all, this city had just been shrouded in the shadow of the undead creatures. Besides, these houses seemed rather inauspicious. However, considering that the harsh winter was still long, and it was better to be under the protection of the tall city walls than to be exposed to the northwest wind all day long, they bit the bullet and entered the city.
Of course, the Church of the True Eye had also put in a lot of effort in this. After all, this was the only city in the whole of Karkhalan. If there was no one, then the Church of the True Eye would be finished.
Therefore, they also sent out many people to sprinkle holy water on the streets to disinfect and purify them. It was also because of their efforts that other people were less resistant to entering the city.
Otherwise, they might rather stay outside and enjoy the wind than come in.
During this time, Jenn and Oldman had been busy dealing with the internal affairs of Tarkus City, which was much more difficult than simply occupying a city.
Because if it was only to occupy a city, then they only needed to release a portion of the people who were willing to be loyal to them to continue working for them.
But the problem was that almost all the people in Tarkus City, whether they were civilians or nobles, had died. Apart from the soldiers who were lucky enough to be stationed on the city walls, there were also some civilians hiding in the sewers and other places. These people added up to no more than a hundred people.
They couldn't rely on these people to handle the operation of Tarkus City. Therefore, Oldman and Jenn could only work overtime to find those who had the ability to complete government affairs from the "National Freedom Army" and then assign them to suitable positions one by one.
Fortunately, after such a long time, their "National Freedom Army" wasn't just a mob. There were also some literate people among them. Otherwise, it would really be a disaster to rely on those illiterate people to manage the city.
On the contrary, the problem of accommodation was easier to solve.
More than half of the civilians in Tarkus City died, but the houses themselves didn't suffer any damage from this disaster. In Jenn's words, they could just move in and there was nothing to worry about.
Not only that, even after arranging for the entire "National Rescue Freedom Army" to move in, there were still a lot of empty houses left in Tarchus City. Zayen had already discussed with Oldman about these places, and they would continue to accept refugees from other places to restore order to Tarchus City.
It was only after more than half a month that Oldman's' National Freedom Army 'finally managed to barely manage to get Targus City to operate again.
It was only after this that Oldman and Zayen had the time to visit the Bishop of the Eye of Truth in front of them.
"I've heard Nadia talk about you, Mr. Oldman, Mr. James."
Looking at the two people in front of him, the bishop felt a bit complicated. He didn't know how he should treat them.
After all, if they didn't attack all the way to Tarkus, then Doante wouldn't have used such a crazy method.
But on the other hand, from their point of view, it wasn't wrong to resist … Thinking of this, the bishop sighed softly, then sorted out his feelings and asked.
"May I ask why the two of you are looking for me today?"
Hearing the bishop's question, Oldman and Jenn looked at each other, then Oldman nodded to Jenn.
And after getting Oldman's permission, Jenn smiled and took a step forward.
"In fact, today we came to the Church of True Eye to seek cooperation from the Church of Holy Light."
"Cooperation?"
Hearing this, the bishop of True Eye was stunned for a moment.
The other party was a rebel army, what was there to cooperate with them?
Could it be that they wanted to appease the people through the church?
"It's like this …"
As if sensing the bishop's hesitation, Jenn paused for a moment before speaking.
"I wonder what His Excellency Bishop thinks of everything that has happened before?"
"This …"
"Oldman, I, and Miss Nadia have already talked.
We all agree that the root of this disaster is the greed of the nobles. They use their identity as a cover to do whatever they want and do whatever they want.
But no one can punish them because they are the enforcers of the law and the creators of the law.
It has always been them judging others, and no one else judging them.
So they can do whatever they want and bring disaster to others … "
Hearing this, the bishop's fingers twitched. Of course, he understood what Jenn meant. In fact, he was also very clear that what Jenn said was the truth.
Although the clerics of the Eye of Truth were also defenders of the law, many times, they had no choice but to watch those criminals escape punishment. Just because they were nobles, they were the creators of the law, they had a natural right to immunity!
And these were all written in black and white, stipulated by the law!
The judges of True Eye naturally couldn't violate the law, so they could only be helpless.
"We think that the root of all this is the system … Yes, it's all a system problem."
Jenn spread out his hands and looked at the bishop in front of him.
"So, we want to change this way of doing things … Fortunately, now that we have control of Karkhalan, we can use this as a foundation to carry out a comprehensive political reform!!"
"So, what do you plan to do?"
Hearing Jenn's words, the bishop couldn't help but be interested.
"It's very simple. Many of the previous conflicts came from the privileges of the nobles. They were above the law, high and mighty, and acted recklessly. That's why they brought disaster to the commoners.
So, we have decided to change and overthrow this system, and establish a new system!
That is … 'separation of three powers'! "
"... What is that?"
"That is to say, we will separate the legislative, executive, and judicial powers.
In the past, the era where the nobles were both rulers and judges is over. We will establish a National Salvation Parliament and invite representatives from various industries to participate. Whether it's farmers, merchants, or other industries, they can all send representatives to join the parliament and put forward their demands. The National Salvation Parliament will try to balance everyone's demands to formulate a new tax policy and plan.
We want to overthrow the original system and issue new laws and regulations. Of course, this also requires a certain degree of coordination and discussion … "
"This is indeed a very interesting idea."
Hearing Jenn's explanation, the bishop couldn't help but nod.
He understood the meaning behind Jenn's words. This way, the nobles wouldn't be able to do whatever they wanted. Situations like Doante's, who didn't care about the people's suffering, would also be restrained.
He had to admit that this idea was indeed novel. It made his eyes light up, but he still didn't understand what this had to do with himself and the Church of the Eye of Truth.
"But, what do we need the Church to do in this?"
"Very simple."
Hearing the bishop's rhetorical question, Zayen showed a confident smile, and then he said.
"In the past, the laws were made by the nobles. Naturally, they would do what was beneficial to them. But this is not fair, nor is it just.
So, we want to invite the Church of Holy Light to participate in the revision of the laws — — and become the enforcers of the laws! "
"What did you say?!"
Hearing this, the bishop finally couldn't help but stand up and stare at the two people in front of him in shock.
He didn't expect them to make such a suggestion!
