Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 28: The Peaceful World
For countless people, their heartfelt desire is for a Messiah who can save them from hardship, despair and helplessness.

But as Gellis said, "There are always tax collectors and lords, and there are always beasts that devour people, but there is only one Messiah..." And that Messiah was hanged on the cross by the soldiers of Roman Caesar a thousand years ago.

Even so, according to Christian doctrine, Jesus was hanged because he bore the original sin of the world.

But under the influence of Garys these days, and because there have never been any serious priests in Monterey Village, everyone's religious views have undergone a drastic change.

For example, according to the original Christian doctrine, as stated in the New Testament, Romans and Hebrews, Jesus Christ sacrificed his life for the sins of mankind in order to achieve reconciliation between man and God. His death is regarded as the final sin offering. His suffering replaced the burnt offering of livestock in the Old Testament, completing an eternal and immortal sacrifice to atone for the sins of all believers who are willing to call Jesus the Messiah.

Now, many of these villagers have begun to unanimously feel that instead of sending the Messiah to the cross to bear the sins of the world, it would be better to hang the Roman Caesar on the cross. After all, the sins that the Roman Caesar bears will surely be a hundred times greater than those of an ordinary person. It seems that using a sinner as a burnt offering will please God more than sacrificing a saint.

God helps those who help themselves, which is what Gellis emphasized again and again in his preaching.

Thinking of the miracles that Gailis had performed and the teachings that he had preached in these days, some of the energetic young men picked up stones from the ground and threw them at Ahmed.

Perhaps, in the past they did not have the courage to fight against tyranny, perhaps in the future when they are alone, they will not dare to declare war on injustice, perhaps they will die today!

But no matter what, at this moment, behind them stands a saint of the new millennium, announcing God's will to the world: God favors the poor, and this love does not mean going to heaven after death, but rather it means starting a war on earth, turning the past order upside down, and forcibly creating a small heaven on earth with human power.

"The world of peace should start from now on!"

As Gellis let out an almost insane roar, the stones finally flew towards Ahmed.

Indeed, these stones are insignificant. They are not as fast and hard as the stones thrown by the slingshot. It is difficult to hit a person, let alone break his head.

But the nature of the matter changed when the stones flew out of his hands.

"My brother once said: Sheath your sword! Anyone who draws a sword must die by it. He is indeed a kind person, but are you qualified to be kind? Everyone will die! Either die in a hospital bed! Or die of old age! What if you die by the sword? Will you go to hell?!"

"If you ask me, it's this: Killing is to protect life, and killing karma is not killing people! Using sinners as burnt offerings, what sin is there?"

Following Gairis's announcement, when Ahmed realized that he was being hit by stones, he was already short of breath and his blood pressure soared. He wished he could chop Gairis into small pieces and feed it to the dogs!

If it weren't for this person who spread rumors and misled the public, preaching nonsense in public, he should have been able to extort hundreds of gold dinars here today without having to trouble his own armored heavy infantry who were like gold-eating monsters. Now, if he doesn't kill a bunch of people here and scare these born low-born peasants, it will be difficult to make money in the surrounding area!
But if too many people were killed today, these lowly peasants are not real pigs, and the population won't increase again within a year or two. I estimate that it will be difficult to receive sufficient taxes from this village in the next ten years.

But the money given to Lord Reynard was fixed and he dared not deduct a single cent. Ahmed did not want to be like his compatriots who walked on the springboard on the city wall and jumped down from the wall more than ten meters high. This would inevitably affect the income of his own private treasury. When he thought that he would have less money in the future, Ahmed felt heartbroken.

Damn it! Cut him into pieces!
"You scoundrel... bastard... son of a bitch, today, today, if I don't chop you off, I will no longer be a tax farmer! Someone, rush these rioters! Kill them!"

At the command, several heavy infantrymen around Ahmed formed a small formation, and then prepared to rush into the mob and kill them. Then, accompanied by a shadow flying through the air, Gairis, who was originally standing on the stage, crossed a distance of more than ten meters and landed on the open space between the soldiers and the villagers.

This action caused the soldiers who were originally preparing to charge to pause for a while.

But then many soldiers began to laugh in mocking manner.

What if I am just a commoner holding a sword?
Make people bleed three feet?
joke.

The thick chain mail on them was enough to block almost all attacks from light weapons. How could an ordinary long sword hurt them?

"Wait!"

"I'll give you one chance. Put down your weapons and I'll let you receive a fair trial."

Garys doesn't like killing or beating people. In fact, Garys hates violence. It's not that he is childish and has some illusions about the world. It's just that he is tired and doesn't like the feeling of taking other people's lives.

But the words of the "weak" have never been respected.

The sun was shining directly, the breeze blew up the dust on the ground, and the armor on the ten fully armed and well-trained heavy infantrymen flashed a cold light, making people squint.

When they marched together and charged in formation, the ground seemed to tremble slightly, and killing was inevitable.

In Ahmed's view, this is just another false prophet and a sorcerer who, while fooling others, has also fooled himself into believing that he is blessed by God.

“This day I have completed your religion for you, fulfilled My grace upon you, and have chosen Islam as your religion.”

“My example is like a man who built a beautiful house, except for one brick spot that has not been filled. People walk around it and marvel at its beauty, but they say, ‘How wonderful it would be if there were a brick in that spot too!’ I am that brick, I am the seal of the prophet.”

“There will not be any messenger or prophet after me.”

The Quran and many Hadith collections have repeatedly declared that after him, there will be no more messengers or prophets from God.

As a highly skilled tax theorist, Ahmed naturally believed in the descriptions in the scriptures.

　Because the results are good, I am considering adding more chapters, ε=(ο｀*)))
　　What conditions serve as the criteria for adding more chapters?
