There is no doubt that completely destroying the existence of the divine and non-god churches in Askatra is in the interest of all the divine churches in this city and even the entire empire.
After all, this organization and their insane views have been a huge threat from the first day they emerged.
In particular, denying the sanctity of gods will greatly shake the faith and worship of mortals, as well as the world's operating model based on this logical system.
Maybe there will be social unrest, divisions, religious wars and other more intense manifestations.
So when Zuo Si ordered the destruction of the Association of Gods and Non-Gods, no matter whether the camp was good or evil, lawful or chaotic, all the temples in Askatra chose to put aside their usual grudges and join forces to launch an unprecedented war.
Operation Destruction.
Not only did they kill all the guys from Sigil, but they also destroyed all the books, notes, and scrolls in the temporary headquarters.
Everyone who has had direct contact with him or her in the past few days has without exception had their water meters checked, and many have had part of their memory forcibly erased.
Judging from the posture of preferring to kill by mistake, it is obvious that he has been instructed by the gods behind him to completely erase the traces of gods, including ideas, thoughts and existence from the continent of Faerûn.
Although at the beginning, Zuo Si had considered that if this faction was more rational, they might be allowed to exist on a small scale within the empire and used as a tool to deal with certain gods.
But later through negotiations, it was discovered that gods who are not members of the Shen Guild cannot be controlled by any external factors.
Its core motive is to try to subvert the current interdependent relationship between gods and mortals, and then cut off mortals' worship of gods from the source, causing them to weaken and die.
Anyone who tries to prevent this is bound to become their enemy.
This also means that Zuo Si, the divine chosen one, is a thorn in the opponent's side and a thorn in the flesh.
It was impossible for the two parties to have even the slightest bit of cooperation from the beginning.
In addition, the crazy counterattack of the Ascatla Divine Church also made Zuo Si realize that the concept of gods not being gods has absolutely no chance of survival and development in any corner of the universe that the gods can touch.
No wonder their top brass are either gathered at the headquarters of Sigil City or hiding in the star realm, the outer plane known as the cemetery of the gods.
Even if they occasionally send members to the material world to promote their ideas, they usually only send out some low-level cannon fodder within the organization.
From the moment these people use interdimensional portals or magic ships to enter the material world influenced by gods, the high-level officials of the gods and non-gods will assume that they are all dead and it is impossible to come back alive.
"So the appearance of the Gods and Gods Association in Askatra is actually a test by the top officials of the Gods and Gods Association?
They never thought of establishing a stable branch here.
Just want to anger the gods and confirm their control over the newly established West Coast Empire?
Just like the scouts who are used as expendable items in the war to investigate the situation?"
After just listening to the spy master's systematic report that lasted for an hour and a half, Zuo Si finally understood the reason why these guys suddenly appeared out of thin air and publicly challenged the gods through speeches without any scruples.
It has to be said that as an organization whose mission is to subvert and destroy the gods, the top leaders of the Gods and Gods Association have undoubtedly formulated a very clever strategy.
They know very well what attitude the gods in the universe hold towards the core views of their faction.
We also know that only in those regions, countries and worlds where the influence and control of gods are weak or even non-existent can it be possible for non-god societies to take root and develop.
The shadow elf Faro, who was summoned after the upgrade, nodded slightly: "Yes, master.
In fact, Sigil has been circulating a lot of information about Faerûn.
Therefore, the senior leaders of the major factions know something about your experience and this new empire.
The reason why I came here with the Society of Gods and Non-Gods is that I received an order from Shemisaka to collect more information about you.
However, there was a slight glitch during the execution of this task.
Those guys you killed actually wanted to plan an attack. They planned to use an amazingly powerful magic device to blow up the entire temple area of ​​Askatra into the sky, kill all the sacrifices of the gods, and destroy all sanctuaries and sanctuaries.
Statue.
In this way, they can prove to mortals that gods are not omnipotent, let alone so-called sacred, and then take the opportunity to attract more people to join the sect to form a force.
As long as this is done, everyone involved in the action will surely be promoted within the organization.
As far as I know, this is the only way for non-gods to be promoted to the upper echelons quickly."
Hearing that the capital he had spent a lot of time, energy and money to build was almost attacked by a terrorist attack, Zuo Si's mouth suddenly twitched inadvertently, and he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Have the styles of gods and non-shenhui always been so crazy? Are they just that?
Haven't you made any more conservative and secretive plans?"
"How many normal people do you think can be left in an organization that is being stared at and targeted by thousands of powerful gods in the universe, and after so many years of continuous failure and death among its internal members?
In fact, the top leaders of the Godless Society are completely a bunch of lunatics.
Although their original idea was to deny the divinity of gods, it is indeed a philosophical viewpoint of considerable research value.
But as time goes by, the thoughts of the entire faction from top to bottom begin to become more and more extreme.
More than 90% of the members' bodies and even souls have undergone horrific mutations.
After being injured, it cannot even be healed by the magic given by the gods, and even a touch from a priest may cause severe rejection.
What's even worse is that they refuse to associate with anyone who believes in gods.
I would rather starve to death of thirst and wear clothes that are so tattered that I can no longer wear them, rather than make deals with businessmen who believe in gods.
And often without any reason, they will suddenly plan an assassination against the chosen gods and high-ranking priests..."
Farrow used very concise and concise language to describe the current situation of gods and non-gods.
When the main personality dominates the body, he can peek into the memories of all other personalities, so he can give a relatively objective evaluation.
It is precisely through this ability that Shadow Elf can compile and organize the fragmentary information collected by the perfect split personality into an intelligence chain of great value.
Zuo Si nodded thoughtfully: "Well, it seems that eliminating the non-god society is indeed the right choice.
They don't even take the gods seriously, so naturally they are even less likely to abide by secular laws and rules. They are just like a bomb that may explode at any time.
By the way, what kind of magic device are those guys planning to use to blow up the temple area?
Is something like this easy to get in Sigil?"
Farrow smiled bitterly and replied: "I'm sorry, I haven't had time to investigate clearly about the magic device.
I only know that they secretly hid a box in an unknown corner of the sewer when they came.
However, something like this that can directly destroy a certain area of ​​a city is indeed not uncommon in Sigil City, which has portals connecting various planes of the entire universe.
As long as you can afford the price, you can buy many rare treasures that are rare in the material plane.
If you are interested, I can keep an eye on it when I return to Sigil later to lurk."
"Is it the sewer again?"
Zuo Si was stunned. He didn't quite understand why these guys who wanted to cause trouble always liked to get into the smelly sewers.
Once upon a time, the sewers of Ascatra could be said to be a "gathering of heroes."
There are lairs of mind flayers and beholders, as well as various bandits, cults, trolls, oozes, kobolds and other creatures. There is even a lich and a saint of the ancient sun god Amaunata sleeping.<
/p>
Fortunately, after Zuo Si took power, he continued to send people to clean up, and it is no longer as dangerous as before.
But the problem is that as the area of ​​​​the new city continues to expand, the scale of the supporting sewers also continues to expand.
If it used to take only a few days to search the entire sewer, now it takes at least a month or two.
After all, with the upgrading of cities, the complexity of sewers is also increasing day by day.
Just for industrial wastewater, feces, other domestic sewage, rainwater, etc., a separate set of pipelines needs to be established for better centralized purification and treatment to prevent large-scale marine pollution of the harbor.
A small city with tens of thousands of people may not need to think so much. It can just be discharged into the sea or river without thinking. Anyway, the small size will be diluted to the point where it is no longer necessary.
But Ascatra, which has a population of hundreds of thousands and is still growing, certainly cannot do this.
Otherwise, the smell from the seawater at the pier will be unbearable.
As an obsessive-compulsive patient of the lawful camp, Zuo Si would not allow the city under his rule to be called "dirty". For this reason, he even established a special magic sewage treatment plant and garbage treatment plant.
This means that today's Ascatra sewer is a huge and intricate maze.
If someone hides something inside and blocks the detection of prophecy magic, it will not be easy to find them.
The only good thing is that the person who wanted to cause trouble is no longer there.
Therefore, there is no need for Zuo Si to be anxious. He can let the werewolf goblin slowly conduct a thorough investigation, and he should be able to find it in a few months at most.
Thinking of this, he once again turned his attention to the shadow elves who were close at hand, and gave a straightforward instruction: "I need you to return to Sigil City immediately and find a way to use your identity to secretly build an intelligence collection network there."
"No problem. I can continue to pretend to be a spy loyal to Shemishaka, and then use the resources and channels provided by this yugoloth demon to serve you."
To be continued...
