The system has to be used even if it is pulled

This is unbelievable, this is a great victory. You must know that no one in the continent of Pendor can win when the army is equal to the Snake Worship Cult. In previous years, the Empire has deployed at least twice the number of troops to encircle and suppress the Snake Worship Cult.

For a time, Zhao Yuanlang's reputation skyrocketed throughout the empire. People all knew that Lord Zhao Yuanlang, the Archon of Issus, was the nemesis of the Snake Cult and the savior of the people.

Maximian frowned as he looked at the nearly one hundred Python Knights and Cobra Warriors of the Snake Cult who were sitting on their horses in a daze. As for the nearly three hundred Snake Cult warriors and followers, he didn't even look at them.

"Sir, we should eradicate them. They are a scourge."

"I don't think so. They will be my weapon in the fight for supremacy!"

Maximian looked at Zhao Yuanlang in horror: "You! What do you want to do!"

"Maximian, you should know what I want to do. You, the Goddess of Creation, also know what I want to do. Why do you have that expression? Tell me, should I kill people to silence them?" Zhao Yuanlang rode on his horse, looking grimly at Maximian beside him.

Maximian broke out in a cold sweat and quickly grasped the long sword at his waist, but Zhao Yuanlang's right arm pressed down on his shoulder holding the sword.

"Don't think about doing anything, Maximian. You know that even if there are dozens of you, you can't beat me. Your fight is meaningless. Follow me, and you will be the first Grand Judge of the Church of the Goddess of Creation, and your status will be lower than that of the High Priest." Zhao Yuanlang's eyes were meaningful.

Maximian loosened his grip on the sword, then after a long while, he lowered his head and stroked his chest with his right hand: "My lord, please forgive me for being a fool. I offer my loyalty to you here, and from now on, the legion under my command will be your sharp blade."

"Very good, keep up the good work, Maximian." Zhao Yuanlang patted Maximian with satisfaction.

After returning home, Zhao Yuanlang dismounted. Countless nobles looked at him in fear, because Zhao Yuanlang's horse was hung with the heads of Snake Cult priestesses. They emitted a rotten stench, but also mixed with a hint of sweetness.

"Sir, welcome home and congratulations on your victory. Also, someone wants to see you!" Morgiana stood at the door and looked at Zhao Yuanlang coquettishly.

Hmm? Who would come to see me at this time?

Morgana noticed Zhao Yuanlang's confusion. She took two steps forward and whispered, "It's Demossi Augusta."

Oh? Interesting, the incompetent emperor who was driven away by Marius and was nominated by the Senate to succeed him.

Zhao Yuanlang sat on the throne in the hall and watched Demoshi Augusta, who looked like a businessman, walk in.

"Good day, Archon Zhao Yuanlang Kavala! I am Demossi Augusta."

"Good day, Mr. Demosci Augusta."

"I think you don't know my past. Let me briefly introduce myself. I was supposed to be the emperor of the empire. The citizens of the empire are all free people. Most of the emperors come from a few noble families. The Senate, which is composed of most of the nobles of Issos, Seiz, and Janos, is responsible for selecting the king."

"I know all this. I know what you want to say. Are you trying to say that you and Marius were both elected, but Marius cheated by hiring a Dasya army to attack the Great Plains where the Council of Nobles is located. The nobles voted for you, and before you succeeded to the throne, you could only watch the Dasya attack. Marius and his private soldiers who got in somehow pushed you away, claiming that if he was not chosen as king, he would lead his men away and let the nobles face the Dasya army, right? Then that group of nobles chose Marius."

"You are absolutely right. I didn't expect you to know so much about this matter."

"I think your coming here this time is to let me join your camp and overthrow Marius."

"Yes! What you said is absolutely right. As long as you help me regain the throne and defeat the Dasha invaders, your family will become a candidate for the throne and rule all over the northern part of the empire. You will also be my prime minister and enjoy the same rights to govern the country as me. If you want to defeat Sarion and restore your country, I will support you!" Demoshi became more and more excited as he spoke, and he gestured to Zhao Yuanlang with his hands and feet.

"What you said is indeed very touching. Please let me think about it. Come, take the distinguished guest down. You can rest first. I will ensure your safety!"

"No, I have my own place to stay. You're welcome. I'll come visit you again tomorrow."

"Then I'll take you there!"

"No, no, you're too polite! Please stay!"

Zhao Yuanlang watched Demoshi walk out of the hall, then he stood up and glanced at Morgana and others around him. They followed Zhao Yuanlang and left the hall.

Zhao Yuanlang stood on the balcony of the castle, watching Demoshi leave, and looked up at Jack behind him. Jack nodded in understanding, took out a flag and waved it a few times. Several soldiers at the castle gate stood far behind Demoshi.

"Your Majesty! Why not just kill him and send his head to Marius?" Agrael V said expressionlessly.

"It's not the right time yet. I need to prepare for both situations. Let's go see what's going on with the Snake Cult priestess! What did she say?"

"Sorry, no, it's my incompetence." Agrael V said with his head down in shame.

"It's nothing. After all, the priestess of the Snake Cult is someone who can communicate with their snake god, and she must have received rigorous training. Take me there, and I'll do it myself." Zhao Yuanlang said grimly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

........

"Ah! You bastards of the Empire! Lord Maltis and Lord Serpent God will definitely avenge me! Bah! Ah!"

The priestess was chained and fixed to the wall, her body bloody and broken. The executioner dodged her spit and whipped her hard with a face towel soaked in urine.

"Sir! How did you come to this filthy place?" The executioner looked at Zhao Yuanlang walking in and hurriedly bowed his head to salute.

"All of you step back, I'll do it myself!"

"Sir! This is a snake girl. There is poison in her blood. Why take the risk?"

"Get out!"

"Yes!"

"Hehehe! It's you, you devil! I won't surrender! Use whatever you have!" Although the priestess was covered in blood, she still looked at Zhao Yuanlang stubbornly and viciously.

"Really? Look into my eyes!" Zhao Yuanlang smiled strangely.

I feel dizzy. Why do I feel dizzy? What’s wrong with me? The priestess’ eyes became more and more confused and began to lose their brightness.

"Tell me how you, the Snake Cult, control those python knights and cobra warriors!"

"Ahhhh! Lord Snake God! Ahhhhhh!"

No way? Zhao Yuanlang touched his chin and looked at the priestess who had a hideous face and was hesitant and wanted to say something but didn't want to.

It seems that hypnosis is not enough, we need to increase the intensity.

After more than an hour, Zhao Yuanlang walked out of the prison with a smile on his face.

"Locke!"

"Yes! Sir!"

"You should make arrangements tomorrow. Send out a cavalry team early in the morning to escort the heads of this priestess and the other priestesses to our Emperor. Of course, capture our Emperor Demoschi tonight and bring him along tomorrow. When you get there, you don't need to say anything or do anything. Just come back immediately after delivering them."

"Yes!"

"Morjana!"

"Here! Chief!"

"Pass my order, tell Donovan and Kasim to get ready, we will head south tomorrow!"

"Yes!"
