Cthulhu Gonfalon

About half an hour later, Sui Xiong laughed again. He sneered murderously.

Clito strolled idly in the streets and caught a Ratman who was poisoning the refugees’ relief food.

During this period, he had learned a lot from Easter and had made great progress. He easily learned why the Ratman would poison the relief food and asked who had instigated the Ratman to do so.

It was a fat man wearing a white robe.

Although the fat man covered his face and deliberately changed his voice, Sui Xiong could still find him.

By tracing back in time, he easily found the guy, who was a big Pigman with a beard and who had argued with an old Elephantman before.

Clito felt very angry and wanted to kill the Pigman while Sui Xiong, who had shown a murderous look before, was now calm.

Clito waved his hands, and the big Pigman with a beard was frozen in a piece of ice. Then he walked away with the ice without disturbing anyone else in the house.

They soon arrived at Easter’s home, the Intelligence Training Center. Soon, the Pigman honestly told Easter everything.

They belonged to an Orc Empire called Isis, and this Empire had been working hard to spread the belief of the Orc gods and to fight against those who were not pious to their beliefs. They mainly persecuted the Half-Orcs, and they were keen on exporting refugees and inciting unrest. They also often committed massacres of the Half-Orcs and the other “enemies” who were not pious enough to them. They were also keen on trafficking human beings, destroying cultural relics, and monuments. In a word, they were just a group of evil people who had committed a lot of crimes.

“But why would those evil people pay attention to us?” Sui Xiong asked calmly. “There are so many countries in the world that are antagonistic to Orcs. Why don’t they go look for trouble in those countries?”

“Because they feel that we are hiding our sinister motives and want to destroy their great and pure beliefs through gentle means,” Easter answered. He was in charge of torturing the Pigman.

What else could Sui Xiong say about this? Perhaps he could only say, “F*ck those idiots!”

They were so f*cking stupid!

Sui Xiong did not like swearing usually, but at this time, he could not think of anything else but swearing.

After cursing them out, the problem still needed to be solved. Anyway, he could not wait patiently for those idiots to make more trouble for him.

There was no such thing as waiting for thieves to come clean.

Sui Xiong soon decided what to do in order to deal with them.

He decided to set fire to those evil people and kill them. Since those guys could probably use this way to deal with him, why didn’t he attack them first?

Looking at his murderous face, Clito asked uneasily, “Your Majesty, what are you going to do with them?”

“Kill them all, of course,” Sui Xiong said coldly. “Rest assured! In a few days, there will be no more Isis in the world.”

What he meant was so clear, so undisguised and so exposed that even Clito who was a legendary master was frightened.

“That organization… How many people are there?” Clito asked.

Easter knew that and answered with a smile, “There are about fifty thousand to six thousand people. Of course, I mean the loyal core people of the organization.”

“That many people?” Sui Xiong was shocked. “Why are there so many people in a terrorist organization?”

“Although it is a terrorist organization, it is a large organization officially recognized by the Orc Empire. It has great influence in many places and must not be underestimated,” Easter said. “I remembered that more than 200 years ago, there an Orc emperor appeared from this organization.”

“What?! An Orc emperor really appeared from this stupid organization?! Are you kidding me?”

“I’m not joking. The Orc emperor slaughtered many Half-Orcs after he took office, and finally, the Armored Great Lion Leonard appeared and killed him.”

“Ah?” Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment. He rushed to send an incarnation to find Leonard and asked him about Isis.

“They are disgusting guys,” Leonard frowned and said. “They are more disgusting than muddy monsters!”

Obviously, Leonard didn’t want to talk too much about the organization.

But Sui Xiong had to know the details, so he kept asking Leonard, “What are the characteristics of this organization? If I want to distinguish them from the crowd, is there any concise and reliable way to do so?”

Leonard’s eyes lit up and looked at Sui Xiong.

The wise man didn’t need to be reminded much. He had understood Sui Xiong’s meaning already.

“Give me a few days, and I’ll look into it,” he said. “I promise you a satisfactory answer.”

“Thank you. But I’m afraid that you might get into trouble,” Sui Xiong said.

Leonard shook his head and laughed. “No, I’m not in trouble. You’re the one who’s in trouble.”

Sui Xiong also laughed. “That’s impossible. What trouble can they cause me? That’s not even worth mentioning!”

“Don’t underestimate them; more than one Orc god supports them.”

“But how many Orc gods are willing to support them with their lives?”

“Yeah, you are right! We’d better have a drink.”

“Wait till the matter is done,” Sui Xiong said. “When the matter is done, we will have a good drink in order to get rid of our bad luck.”

After discussing the matter with Leonard, Sui Xiong began carrying out his plan.

This time, Isis had sent a lot of people to the Northwest Republic, but they were just garbage to Sui Xiong. If Sui Xiong didn’t clean up the “garbage,” he would not be able to sleep soundly.

Thus, led by Easter and assisted by Clito, the intelligence agency of the Northwest Republic launched a large-scale search throughout the whole country for five or six days.

Through their search, they arrested about 140 members of the Isis organization. They also found about 200 Orcs and Half-Orcs who were influenced by the organization’s propaganda.

This number had shocked the high levels of the Republic. The hostile organization with a total of about 350 people had been operating in the Republic in such a magnificent way for a long time. Thinking about this carefully, everyone felt frightened.

Fortunately, this huge organization was eventually cleared up. As long as the Republic was careful in the future, such a thing would never happen again.

However, everyone had a headache when they thought of how to deal with those arrested Isis members and those who were influenced by their beliefs.

It was easy for Sui Xiong to deal with those arrested Isis members. In any case, the Republic did have a death penalty. Even if those arrested Isis members were not killed immediately, they could also be sent into servitude. But for those who were just influenced by the organization, they did not commit any real crimes. They just listened to the propaganda of the terrorists, and some of them tended to applaud the terrorists or receive their propaganda materials—that was all. It was not in conformity with the spirit of the laws of the Republic to severely punish those who were people.

The laws of the Northwest Republic generally used the theme of “learning from past mistakes to avoid future ones and curing illness and saving people.” Although they did not exclude the death penalty, they did not like to use the death penalty. Even in most cases, law enforcers preferred to use some penalties which looked severe but did not actually cause any serious consequences.

But would such a punishment be too light?

For a time, there were a lot of discussions among the people, and it was difficult to reach an agreement.

In this case, Sui Xiong gave his suggestions.

“That group of people doesn’t need to be severely punished,” he said calmly but somewhat gloomily. “Soon, there will be no more Isis members left in the world.”
