Chapter 608: The Scarlet King the next Deus Behemoth Emperor!?
Eon nodded softly as he heard that, but his inquisitive gaze remained.
"As it should be. A good deed deserves respect and honor."
When Wanton heard that, he softly shook his head as he sighed.
"Ah, your muscle brain still doesn't get it. Right now, the common people of the empire see the Scarlet Inquisition Force as angels, and the Scarlet King is considered the embodiment of justice and protection, an avatar of righteousness."
Eon nodded as he heard that. There was nothing that common people love more than a feeling of safety and justice, and since the Scarlet Inquisition Force is taking care of every criminal, it is normal for them to worship them. He knew that the Prime Minister had not finished, so he waited for Wanton to continue.
"The old Noble Families are not so keen as the Scarlet Inquisition Force ignores their background if there is any sign of crime, but even so, they still have a somewhat good impression as they are fair and just. As long as the crimes are not too severe, they are just sent to prison without any harm."
It was at this point that Wanton made a pause, and he showed a complicated expression before speaking.
"The problem is the military. For the Imperial Army, especially for the members of the Scarlet Inquisition Force and the Scarlet Inquisitors, the figure of Cain Laurifer is rising to a level of divine devotion. It has come to the point that they are starting to paint their armor and weapons scarlet, as a sign of pride and identity."
Even if Eon was not the wisest, he was not a fool either and could see the point that Wanton was trying to make. The warriors of the Scarlet Inquisition Force were all members of the Imperial Army, and that should be their core identity. However, it seemed that they were slowly seeing themselves as inquisitors more than soldiers.
"The soldiers will follow the guide of the Great Generals and they know the Scarlet Inquisition Force will be dismantled after the one-year time frame."
