Chapter 968 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (26)
“The priest’s ability is certainly competent. Healing that can save dying people is so precious that even if it costs you to ignore your wrath, it won’t be too much of a loss.”
All the soldiers knew that the Emperor’s choice was rationally correct.
However, the soldiers wanted to choose the one whose heart moved rather than reason.
It means that there was no one whose heart was not warmed by the injustice unfolding in front of their eyes.
“But!”
At that time, I was in despair at the thought that, as always, the perpetrator would sleep with his feet stretched out and the victim would die from suffering from ailments.
The emperor is in front of the depressed soldiers, but! Spit out the word
“I will not let them live.”
For a moment, silence passed between the soldiers.
‘What did I just hear?’ Soldiers with facial expressions.
Despite the anger and hatred towards the priests, it must have been hard to believe my words easily because I knew the reality.
“Lungs, Your Majesty…”
“You really kill them all?”
“Then you’re going to lose Chuck with the temple.”
“How are you going to handle it…”
“Now what if I get sick?”
In the heads of the enraged soldiers, ‘Then what if I get sick now?’ A question came to mind.
However, I knew a way to solve the soldiers’ worries.
“If you get sick, you’ll be worried about what to do. That’s why Jim will make it a national project to train healers from now on.”
They call me a therapist here, but what I’m thinking of is training a doctor.
If you look at our world, aren’t there people who die without being able to cure the disease because there is no priest?
I was thinking of making a doctor.
In this world, the developed part was surprisingly developed, and the undeveloped part was neglected to the point of uncivilization.
And perhaps because of the priests who could treat them, the development of the medical field was very far behind.
But when it comes to investing, you never know.
As much as our world has made tremendous progress in less than 100 years, if we push with money, we will be able to train doctors who do not have to rely on priests.
“Oh, Obama. Are you really going to do it?”
“If you go over this once, what are you going to do next? Are you going to sacrifice your soldiers and bow down to the temple?”
“I can’t!”
“Yes. You can’t. So you shouldn’t. It doesn’t matter if you bow to a god, but you can’t bow down to the arrogant ones who put a god on their back and pretend they are gods.”
The reason medical science did not advance may be that temples prevented their progress.
As medicine develops, the power of temples diminishes.
This is why monopolies are scary, and the reason why the country is tearing up companies that monopolize them.
“The development of medical technology will be a fatal blow to the temple. Are you afraid of the temple? How long will you be afraid of them? We can overcome it. God cannot give you only one answer.”
Of course, that god had long since sold out of this world, so he thought of selling it wherever he could.
Fortunately for the soldiers, my speech worked.
When they heard that they would pretend to be with the temple, the frightened soldiers gradually changed their minds and began to eat.
This was all thanks to the priests doing things that were not human.
“There must be many faithful believers here and now. There must be some who are praying to the gods in their hearts even now. They may not like to pretend to be with a temple. But a temple is just a place where the servants of the gods live. .That would also be an insult to God.”
Wouldn’t it be nice if the pope was a role model enough to be respected by everyone?
All of the temple guys were selfish and greedy.
He is also a feared target for soldiers because he is so cruel.
If they get wrong, they have to go through all the hardships.
I thought that it was necessary to get rid of the common people’s perception of the temple people as being equal to ‘gods’.
It was a good experience to show that they are just human beings just like us.
‘It may come as a bit of a shock, but…’
If it was executed in front of those who were dying by the priest, it would be able to receive cheers.
“Take it.”
“Yes, yes…Your Majesty.”
The priests were dragged one after another by the soldiers.
Of course, the Geos nobles were also in between.
Most of the time, during the war, noble prisoners are kept alive and later released after receiving compensation.
But things are a bit different now.
They used poison to kill countless soldiers.
And I needed to hold them accountable for this, even in order to raise the morale of the soldiers.
“Guuuuu…”
“Uuuuu!!!”
The appearance of the Geos nobles being dragged away by the soldiers was never good.
Even if the situation was better than that of the Geos nobles, the priests were equally exhausted.
It wouldn’t have been easy to endure on the cold floor, eating something worse than dog porridge.
Aren’t they all people who have lived their lives unaware of suffering?
On top of that, it was annoying and cumbersome to even listen to what the bastards who were about to be executed would say.
So, the tongues of the Geos nobles and priests were all gagged so that they could not move.
It was normal procedure to be merciful to say a last word before killing, but I wasn’t going to show that mercy.
“I have no intention of showing them any mercy.”
The soldiers held their breath listening to me.
“We have already been betrayed by the temple once. The priests who went to receive a huge amount of money to treat the soldiers refused to treat the soldiers, saying they were orders from the temple.”
The desperate cries of dying soldiers.
I still haven’t forgotten that sound.
“At that time, Jim felt helpless at not being able to do anything for the soldiers.”
“Heuk!”
“Ughhhhh!”
“It’s still the same. There are soldiers dying in front of Jim’s eyes because of the temple’s vicious tricks. But the only thing Jim can do for you is this.”
At least sending the culprit who killed them to the underworld together.
Heheuk!! Your Majesty…!”
The soldiers who were on the verge of death squeezed out their remaining energy and shed tears.
“I’m sorry. Jim was incompetent and couldn’t protect you. There’s no way you can be comforted by this, but at least I’m going to make sure that you don’t wander around the world out of regret.”
“Sung-seong-i… This castle is ruined!!!!”
“Your Majesty!!! Even if I die, I have no regrets!!!!”
The soldiers who couldn’t stop crying bowed to me while crawling on the floor.
I was thrilled that he had chosen the hard way to alleviate the grievances of the soldiers in a situation where it would be beneficial for anyone to not lose the temple and pretend.
‘At this level, the approval rating would exceed 60%.’
Of course, not all of them will agree with me.
However, the trend has already tilted, and in this situation, there was no one who could cast a dissenting vote.
“Proceed with the execution.”
“Go ahead with that punishment!!!!”
“Proceed with the execution!!!!”
The soldiers who received my order put the priests and Geos nobles on the execution table with a much more determined movement than before.
“Uuuuu!!!!!”
The priest couldn’t believe that he was going to die like this.
I don’t think I’ll show you any mercy for struggling like that.
And while I stare at it for free.
After the preparations were finished, the execution table began to do its job.
The Crown Prince was watching the execution without batting an eye, even though people’s heads were flying.
Seeing that dignified figure, I felt a profound emotion.
‘It’s bittersweet from the father’s point of view, but from the emperor’s point of view, I feel proud.’
As the priests and Geos nobles began to die in earnest, there was an uproar among those waiting to be executed.
Belatedly, he realized that this was the real reality and began to emit light to save his life.
A person who tries to escape with an unreasonable trick is caught by the soldiers, and the priest, who was condescending and ridiculing people, pours out tears and mucus.
While drooling and crying like a child.
“Aaaaa!!!!”
“Ughhh!!!!!”
In the end, priests and nobles were all equal before death.
Isn’t there no way that those who worship God aren’t afraid of death?
According to what people usually say, I will go to heaven when I die, so shouldn’t I be afraid of death?
“Ahaha! It’s the first time in my life that priests roll around in a mess like that.”
“Honestly, I feel a little relieved.”
“It’s nice. How high did those guys have their noses? Even though most of them were from commoners.”
If there was only one way for commoners to succeed in life, it would be to be born with the talent to handle divine power.
This is because temples get rid of the yoke of social status from the moment they are born with divine power, and unite as one called ‘Servant of God’.
Of course, the nobility did not like the temple priests very much because of their background.
Even if you can’t tea.
‘Even taking money will play a part.’
The nobles watched with delight as the priests cried like children and crawled on the floor begging for help.
Although there was some commotion, the execution proceeded at a very rapid pace.
I don’t know what kind of device it was, but it was a scaffold that could cut one’s neck amazingly well.
And finally, when the head of the last priest fell off.
“Waaaaa!”
Cheers broke out among the soldiers.
It was natural.
“Abama!! Soldiers…! Soldiers are getting better!”
Because a miracle was happening in front of them.
As far as I can see, it was a really cool show.
I thought this scene would be the best scene I personally selected.
Of course, I wasn’t filming a movie at this moment.
“Long live the Emperor!!!!!!”
“”Long live the Emperor!!!!!!!!!!!””
“” Long live!!!!!! Long live!!!!!!!!!!””
The emperor ordered the priests to be executed, and the moment all the priests were executed, the dying soldiers were cured.
What could this mean?
Haha.”
God made the decision for sure.
That the priests are ‘evil’ and the Empire is ‘good’!
God bless the Empire!
It was a miraculous moment that would shudder the continent.
