Chapter 85: No Escape

~7 min read 1,314 words

The Wealth Church's response was still timely; although much time had been delayed, by the time everyone began to approach the inner city, the grain had already arrived and started being distributed at the alley entrances.

No one knew what method the Wealth Church used to transport this grain, and the people were overjoyed to see it, especially when they saw that the bread was already baked; those loaves were not even black bread, but white bread, clearly the kind of thing nobles usually ate.

"Collect in an orderly fashion, mind the queue, or else there won't be any left. We are people of the Wealth Church! If you don't line up according to the rules, you cannot collect. Everyone follow the rules!" Not only the Wealth Church's personnel, but the nobles' personnel also came to assist in maintaining order.

Even people from the War Church came to help maintain order.

Yaohuanghuang finished investing and began standing guard on the road; he needed to assist the Wealth Church's people in distributing grain and making those refugees collect it according to the rules.

With grain being distributed along the way, these people gathered by the Sun Church suddenly became like loose sand.

Except for those at the very front, the rest were all lured away by the grain.

Having something to eat was already the best outcome for these people; if it weren't for having nothing to eat, who would want to look for trouble here?

Everyone was not unaware of the consequences of offending those nobles and churches, it was just that someone was inciting them.

Now that someone was distributing grain, of course they had to ensure their own stomachs were full first.

"Make way, make way."

"Don't push! Let that little girl take hers first!"

The Wealth Church really could not send out many people, fortunately there were people from the War Church helping.

These Xiahui People were indeed very useful, and they would absolutely never be loose-lipped.

In the matter of maintaining order, they did much better than Feng Bu'er had imagined.

Everyone was carrying a spear in their hands, standing before the crowd as steady as Mount Tai, isolating every person who would not listen.

Very quickly, the people the Sun God Cult had managed to gather slowly scattered, and the entire city began to echo with a voice from the Municipal Building.

This kind of Sound Array was something Governor Jones had not even used when he was elected.

But now, for the sake of Tana City's public security, the Wisdom Church had specially drawn this formation for Governor Jones.

Of course, it required the Wealth Church to pay the price that should be paid.

"Broad citizens of Tana City, I am the Governor of Tana City. We have already understood the matters you are concerned about. The nobles of Tana City are very concerned about everyone's lives, and the Wealth Church is also willing to take responsibility for this incident. We will jointly provide free bread to the residents of Tana City for fifteen days, and everyone can receive two loaves of bread every day. We will carry out distribution at fixed locations. At the same time, we will also build temporary housing for everyone in the Factory District to ensure that everyone has a place to stay at night..."

Governor Jones's voice echoed over the entire Tana City, which made the Sun God Cult's organization suddenly become loose.

No matter what, their voices could not drown out Governor Jones's voice, so they could only give up.

But how could the Wealth Church let them off? Originally, Feng Bu'er had been looking for them all along, and now they were practically delivering themselves to his doorstep.

"Yun, I'll trouble you all. At least record their facial features, and be careful not to be discovered while following them." Feng Bu'er knew that he currently did not have the ability to round these guys up in one go.

Yun Xiao said "yes"; he could already see that the Wealth Church's manpower was insufficient.

Previous events had caused the Wealth Church to lose too many people, and the current Wealth Church was simply powerless against the Sun God Cult.

It was no wonder the people of the Sun God Cult could be so rampant.

As for the other churches, they would not help the Wealth Church now.

Not kicking them while they were down was already considered not bad.

The players could not find out much; most had not awakened, and all they could do was follow those who appeared to be members of the Sun God Cult.

Seeing Feng Bu'er, several key members of the Sun God Cult were not flustered at all.

There was even a feeling that they should have met long ago.

Especially the young man standing at the very front, who asked with an arrogant face: "The Sun God Cult is an orthodox church, and our Sanctuary is also in the Royal Capital. Do you actually intend to deal with us?"

In the Royal Capital, the status of the Sun God Cult was no worse than the Wealth Church; the drawback was that men who believed in the Sun God Cult were often bachelors.

But in the Royal Capital, being a bachelor was not a fresh thing; on the contrary, sometimes it was something worth boasting about.

Even among members of the Royal Family, there was no lack of those who believed in the Sun God Cult; of course, that did not mean it was the majority, just that the Sun God Cult's influence was no worse than the Wealth Church's.

"You led the incitement of Tana City's residents, causing chaos in the city. Even if you report this to the Royal Capital, I can explain it clearly."

"Heh, isn't the chaotic state of Tana City caused by your Wealth Church?" Several Believers of the Sun God Cult also walked over; they were all relatively young, looking like they were eighteen or nineteen years old.

In Tana City, they could have originally been the hope for the future, but now, they were all a bunch of bachelors.

It was precisely the spread and rooting of the Sun God Cult in Tana City that made Tana City's population smaller and smaller, requiring the purchase of a large number of serfs every year to ensure the production of manors and the smooth completion of factory orders.

"The chaotic state of Tana City was caused by the Red Moon, it was not the Wealth Church at all, let alone the Barbarian invasion—what does that have to do with our Wealth Church?" Feng Bu'er said unconvinced.

"Isn't it because you didn't manage it well? We of the Sun God Cult can help you now, and what are you doing? Trying to find our headquarters and then trying to eliminate us!"

"Exactly, the Wealth Church is causing further chaos!"

"The Sun God Cult is also an orthodox god's church!"

Originally, he thought these people from the Sun God Cult would scatter and flee.

As it turned out, these people did not leave.

Not a single person even fled for the sake of that bread; these people carried a mentality of being ready to die, confronting Feng Bu'er.

At the Municipal Building, Master Jones thanked Harriet Badley; this Bishop of the Wisdom Church had once again displayed his ability.

"The commotion outside is still a bit too big. Although I don't like those guys from the Sun God Cult, what they said is indeed correct." Governor Jones shook his head, "But thanks to you, the Wealth Church has made another concession."

"This is just the beginning. Believe me, if we unite as one, sooner or later we can break the Wealth Church's control over us." Harriet said with a smile, "Of course, our Wisdom Church will provide enough help."
