When saying these words, Hansel did not hide his terrifying evil aura at all.

Because in his eyes, mortals are just candies wrapped in plastic paper. If you peel off the body, you can taste the delicious soul inside.

So he wanted to see mortals killing each other in war, and to see people gradually abandon their reason and become cruel and selfish beasts in order to survive.

The unwillingness, anger, and regret that arise when these people struggle until they finally realize that they have given up so much and are unable to escape death are exactly Hansel's favorite taste of the soul.

"Turning this country into a war machine from which there is no turning back? Sounds like a lot of fun!"

Mordred pursed his lips and showed an interested expression.

She returned to the palace without saying a word, promoted a few knights who had surrendered, and then ordered them to take some guards with them to start recruiting troops from house to house in the royal capital and surrounding villages and towns.

In just a few days, an army of 150,000 people was forcibly recruited.

You must know that this is not a small number, but a terrifying force that can bring down the entire country's finances and food reserves.

Even at the height of the Hundred Years' War between the Kingdom of Mitlan and the Yoda Empire, their total military strength did not exceed 70,000.

To be exact, most of the time it only stays between 30,000 and 50,000.

But Hansel is good, he comes directly to the extreme explosive force, and there is no need for any logistical supplies, agriculture and handicraft production.

In order to ensure that this army had combat effectiveness, he did not immediately go into a head-on confrontation with the Kusha Empire, but instead turned his attention to the surrounding neighbors.

For example, the extremely wealthy Dharma King's Hall and its subordinate churches, or those coastal trading city-states.

In short, Hansel brazenly launched a war against these countries, and directly lifted the seal on the army, allowing them to burn, kill and loot as they pleased after defeating the enemy.

In less than ten days, more than five cities and thousands of villages were looted.

All the surviving young and middle-aged males were demoted to slavery, either incorporated into the legions to become cannon fodder and coolies, or sold to slave traders in batches.

Women were even more miserable. Most of them were humiliated and violated inhumanely at the first opportunity, and then either sold to slave traders or thrown into prostitute camps and became tools for soldiers to vent their animal desires.

With the help of this country-based robbery, the recruits who were originally afraid of war and killing soon changed their faces.

Not only were they no longer afraid of war, but they began to yearn for war and enjoy the huge dividends that war could bring to them.

A poor boy who was previously looked down upon by no one in the village, as long as he becomes a soldier and breaks into a certain town, he will immediately receive a considerable amount of loot.

Not only that!

He also had the opportunity to taste aristocratic ladies and young ladies whom he would never see in ordinary times.

As for injuries and deaths…

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is nothing to the residents of the Kingdom of Mitland who have been fighting wars for hundreds of years.

Compared to poverty, hunger and no hope, death is never a terrible thing.

Therefore, under Hansel's rule, the Kingdom of Mitland, which was already in a moribund state, actually exploded with incredible potential.

Especially those officers and soldiers from the lower class, instead of showing any resistance to this brutal dictatorship, the more they fought, the more they supported him.

Because as long as they can win, Hansel and Mordred will really give money, power, and women.

This kind of environment, in which anyone with ability, regardless of their bloodline, has a chance to get ahead, caused this group of civilians who had been suppressed for hundreds of years to burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm.

Although this huge army that relies on plunder is very brutal and can almost be said to be barren of vegetation wherever it goes, no one can deny their power.

In particular, Hansel also used his divine-like power to transform the human body, transforming many officers and elite soldiers into monsters that could release divine magic or magic-like abilities.

Half of them were sent directly to the border to start fighting with the monster army of the Kuxia Empire.

At this moment, in the Confession Tower of the King's Hall, the Egg Apostle has begun to give birth to a new body for Griffith to complete his second reincarnation.

Various apostles are also constantly gathering in this area under the call of the power of God's Hand.

As a result, this continent presented an extremely strange scene.

The area ruled by Zuo Si in the west is desperately pursuing technology, increasing productivity, and carrying out social changes. Various advanced firearms, cannons, trains, and machinery are emerging one after another. People are gradually getting rid of the shackles of ignorant religion and superstition and entering the industrial era dominated by rationality.

.

To the east, there is a scene of demons dancing around, including the apostles, the Hand of God, the Kusha Empire ruled by the Terror Emperor, and the Kingdom of Midland after Hansel's demonic transformation.

Even the King's Hall has been completely reduced to a sad background.

The strong contrast that cannot be described in words makes the east and west sides of this continent seem like two worlds separated by physics.

Currently in the Conviction Tower in the King's Hall, Serpico was opening the latest information just sent by the shapeshifter, his eyebrows almost knitted together.

Because the Kingdom of Midland suddenly turned into a mad dog that caught and bit anyone, he was completely confused as to what was going on.

In particular, many businesses of the Wattimio family suffered huge losses as a result.

So much so that the material supplies and economic sources of the entire Fawang Hall were severely damaged.

At present, many places, including the Sin Tower, have begun to implement strict rationing systems, and civilians have begun to have no food to eat. They can only survive on dead rats, captured birds, tree bark, weeds, and rotten garbage.

Every day there are many corpses reduced to skin and bones by starvation on the streets of the city.

It is said that in some places signs of cannibalism have even begun to appear.

It is obvious that the entire eastern region of this continent is completely out of control, and there is no longer any restraint of order.

Although it was quite chaotic before, with various countries fighting back and forth from time to time, at any rate, they were all brothers and sisters who believed in the same religion in name. The King and the nobles had to listen to the words of the King's Hall and give them some face.

But now, as the Kingdom of Mitlan under the control of Hansel declared war on the King's Hall and pressed this symbol of divine power to the ground with a blaster, many people have begun to lose their respect for the King's Hall and God.

After all, as the spokesperson of God, he was so unbearable. Thousands of clergy were killed, raped, and sold into slavery. But instead of receiving any divine punishment or retribution, the army that did these things became more and more miserable.

The stronger and richer he becomes, even the most devout believer can't help but wonder whether this god really exists.

As a monotheistic religion, what the King of France is most afraid of is this kind of large-scale questioning of absolute authority.

Because once doubts begin, smart people will quickly discover that those dogmatic teachings are full of logical contradictions, loopholes and irrationality.

Of course, the most deadly thing is that after the hungry poor discovered that killing clergy and robbing church property would not lead to retribution or divine punishment, attacks and thefts on monasteries, churches and manors became more frequent, and the public security situation

It has deteriorated to an irreparable level.

What's even more frightening is that in order to resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Mitland, the French King's Office dispatched a large number of military forces to the border. The interior became extremely empty and was completely powerless against this situation.

Serpico even felt that if things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before the King's Hall would be completely defeated and massacred mercilessly.

After reading the last word, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, put the letter to the candle and lit it, then sighed with a wry smile: "Oh - I really can't understand this world of ice and fire anymore.

I don’t know what’s going on with my father now. I hope he can wake up soon. Otherwise, the Vatimio family may be completely finished.”

"Are you worried about your family and relatives?"

The shapeshifter disguised as the eldest lady Farnese asked with a half-smile.

"family?

Relatives?

Ha ha ha ha!

I think you seem to have misunderstood something.

For me, there is only one real relative, and that is Farnese.

As for the others, they are just familiar strangers.

I reminded them that they were only fulfilling their obligations as members of the family.

Whether they listen or not is entirely up to them."

Serpico shrugged his shoulders indifferently, threw the letter that was about to burn to ashes into the fireplace, stood up and looked outside through the window.

I saw interrogators and jailers escorting groups of people tied with iron chains, slowly entering from the gate into this tower that exuded the smell of blood and death.

Judging from their clothing and nutritional status, these so-called "sinners" were actually just poor people who were starving and trying to grab some food from the church to satisfy their hunger.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Unfortunately, they basically either failed or did not run away after grabbing it, so they were caught here and killed as a warning to others.

Anyone who knows something about the Tower of Sins knows that the possibility of any prisoner who enters this place being able to walk out alive is very low.

Basically, they either couldn't bear the torture and confessed and were executed, or they were tortured to death by horrific torture.

In recent days, the number of prisoners dying in the Crime Tower every day has exceeded fifty.

This is not a trial at all, but a massacre of the upper-class ruling class against the lower-class rebellious people.

The King's Office is using this method to proactively reduce the population within its jurisdiction in order to alleviate the serious shortage of various daily necessities, including food.

Similar situations are constantly happening in armed monasteries and churches everywhere.

Although there is no clear number, Serpico believes that the death toll is at least tens of thousands.

As for those who died of starvation, diseases and plagues, even more people died.

Now he is more and more convinced that the god worshiped by Fawang Hall is an out-and-out evil god.

Otherwise, as long as this God has even a tiny bit of conscience, he will never be so numb as to turn a blind eye after seeing what the church is doing today.

Watching the numb-eyed prisoners entering the Conviction Tower one after another, Serpico suddenly asked: "How is your investigation going on about the Book of Apocalypse?"

"Sorry, there isn't much information about this yet.

The only thing we know is that the Book of Revelation existed much earlier than the birth of the King's Hall.
