In the next few days, the sudden situation in Addis spread rapidly throughout Addis through the mouths of merchants and travelers, in telegrams exchanged between relatives, in secret telegrams of spies in various places, and in secret communications of extraordinary societies.
In just two or three days, the entire territory of Adus, from ordinary civilians to revolutionary leaders and Baruch's remnants, all heard a piece of news that shocked everyone.
From what the civilians communicated with each other, they learned that something unexpected happened in Addis. The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and thunderstorms continued. There were thunders for several hours a day. All the civilians were frightened by the continuous thunder and hid in their homes, staying indoors for fear of being struck by thunder.
Fortunately, the thunder seemed to focus on the palace and the church, with no intention of affecting other places. This made the civilians wonder if the revolutionary commander in the palace and the savior priests who usually preached were punished by God. After all the incidents were over, many of their revolutionary soldiers still came out to maintain order, but those priests who usually went from street to street to preach and wanted people to abandon the Three Saints were nowhere to be seen.
This made the people feel that it was not all the revolutionaries who were punished by God, but only the Saviorists. This made them wonder if the thunder was a divine punishment from the Three Saints. However, there were rumors that the thunderstorm was not sent by the Three Saints, but by an ancient god called the Judge of Heaven. The reason was that when the thunderstorm came, many people near the Prayer Church heard a thunderous declaration, declaring that the Saviorists were guilty of desecrating the Temple of the Judge of Heaven.
There were many rumors among the civilians, and at a higher level, the news received by the revolutionary army garrisons in various places was much more accurate and clear. They all knew that this thunderstorm did not come from the Three Saints, but from a priest who claimed to serve the Judge of Heaven. It was she who summoned this super thunderstorm that almost wiped out the entire armed forces of the Addis Savior Faction!
The members of the Savior Advent sect stationed in Addis, apart from the ordinary civilian believers, almost all of them, including the fanatical believers under the captain of the extraordinary sect, were killed in the thunderstorm! More importantly, the highest leader of the entire Addis Savior sect, the powerful extraordinary Mukhtar of the Red Adult stage, also died in this thunderstorm!
The news of Mukhtar's death swept the entire Adus Revolutionary Army like a bolt from the blue. Inside the Revolutionary Army, whether it was the Savior Faction or the Shadi Faction, they were all surprised by Mukhtar's sudden death. He was a high-level extraordinary person at the Red Formation level! He had a long life and powerful strength, and was different from the Cretaceous and other extraordinary people in terms of nature. He could be an important foundation of a country, and the Red Formation was gone just like that? !
The death of Chicheng Mukhtar caused an uproar in the entire secret world of Addis. They were not only surprised at Mukhtar's death, but also at the way he died. The way he died was too bizarre to believe that Mukhtar died in a conspiracy by the Holy Mountain Church or the leaders of the revolutionary army, and they were not willing to admit that Mukhtar died for such a reason. However, information from many sources in Addis forced them to believe that the destruction of Mukhtar and even the entire Addis Savior Faction was caused by the cult of the ancient god, the Judge of Heaven, because they had desecrated the sacred temple that should belong to the Judge of Heaven.
The sudden death of Mukhtar had the greatest impact on the revolutionary forces scattered throughout Adus. The internal parts of those revolutionary forces were highly infiltrated by the Savior Faction, especially in Mukhtar's part. Mukhtar's death left them leaderless for a while, and the various departments began to fall into chaos.
At this time, Mukhtar's death is not a problem, the problem is the cause of his death. If Mukhtar died at the hands of Shadi or the church, and both of them joined forces with Addis to plot and kill Mukhtar, then the Savior faction among the revolutionary army would have a target for revenge. Some of them could raise a banner to call on all the Savior faction forces in the revolutionary army, calling on them to launch an attack on the Shadi faction around them and launch a full-scale civil strife. During this period of time, there will definitely be other senior figures from the Savior faction who will come to Addis to integrate these forces and bring a huge threat to the Shadi faction.
But the reality is that Mukhtar died at the hands of some inexplicably popping up Heavenly Judge Cult. Others thought that Mukhtar was killed by lightning in an unprecedented way. This made the savior factions in various parts of Adus feel a little confused. Their boss was dead, either killed by other suspected bosses, or died from lightning. This made them not know what to do for a while, and they were leaderless and in chaos.
That's right, Shadi kept the news of the palace battle secret very well. He concealed the news of his feud with Mukhtar from the outside world, and spread the news that Mukhtar was punished to death by the sect for blaspheming the Temple of the Judge of Heaven, and the endless thunder in the sky was the evidence and had nothing to do with him.
In the battle of Baruch's palace, the city defense system provided Dorothy with eyes in the sky and unlimited thunder, so none of the armed saviors who participated in the change escaped alive. Because no one outside knew what happened in the palace, for ordinary people, the continuous thunder directly drowned out the shouts and gunshots in the palace. They didn't even know that there was such a large-scale fight in the palace that day. In addition to the dead armed saviors, the only people who participated in the palace battle were Shadi's personal soldiers who suffered heavy losses and the few remaining special envoys. Naturally, it was impossible for them to leak the real situation.
In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Mukhtar did a great job of keeping his mutiny plan secret. No one except Addis's confidants knew about it in advance. Even the armed forces of the mutiny fanatics only learned the news right before the mutiny began. Because the conflict between Shadi and Mukhtar has deteriorated rapidly in the past few days during the negotiations, from the perspective of the troops outside, although there are some gaps in the relationship between Shadi and Mukhtar, it has not reached the point of breaking up, because Shadi's words are credible, the power of heavenly thunder is not something Shadi can control, and the priestess Isis, the judge of heaven, has also appeared in public in front of the public and punished him, so from the perspective of outsiders, Mukhtar's death cannot be absolutely blamed on Shadi for the time being.
The key point is Shadi's subsequent attitude towards Mukhtar and his subordinates who died in the lightning disaster. In a notice sent to all units of the Adus Revolutionary Army, Shadi claimed that he was extremely sad about Mukhtar's death and felt extremely sorry for the revolutionary army's loss of such a soul figure, saying that this was a terrible disaster.
What's more, a few days after Shadi's coup, Adasi held a memorial ceremony for Mukhtar. Shadi personally attended the ceremony and delivered a moving speech at the meeting, mourning Mukhtar, a staunch comrade and great warrior who had fought with him till now and overthrew the Baruch dynasty together. He affirmed Mukhtar's contribution to the Abdus revolution and claimed that he would inherit Mukhtar's will and lead Abdus to a common future.
The ceremony was very grand. Shadi invited representatives of the church's special envoys and officers of the revolutionary army around Addis to attend, and it was open to all citizens of Addis. Dorothy also joined in the fun and went there to eat a few times, sitting at the table with the children.
Shadi's memorial service also temporarily confused many savior faction forces in the revolutionary army. For a while, they really thought that Mukhtar died in the Heavenly Judge Sect and had nothing to do with Shadi. Shadi was willing to continue Mukhtar's work and create an Adus of the savior faction.
At the same time as the memorial service was held, Shadi's confidants immediately went to various parts of Addis, including the bases of major centrist and pro-Savior forces, and brought promotion orders to those senior local Savior officers. On the grounds that the top Savior officers in Addis were almost completely wiped out, these local Savior officers with real power were mobilized to go to Addis to take up the newly vacant positions of senior central officials, in order to fill the huge power vacuum caused by the annihilation of Mukhtar and his subordinates.
When giving these local generals the transfer orders, Shadi was also very mysterious, saying that many generals in Addis were eyeing the power cake that was vacated after Mukhtar's death, so whoever went to Addis first would be the first to eat, so the others must have tried every means to prevent others from going and go first. In addition, Shadi also talked to these local generals about external threats, mainly targeting the General Assembly of the Savior Advent Sect outside Addis.
In his message to these generals, Shadi hinted that the current Savior General Association wanted to parachute in someone from Adus to replace Mukhtar and take over all religious power, but we are all Adus people, how can we let outsiders take control of our own power so easily? We all believe in God, why should you be superior to others? Why can't we, the Savior of Adus, be our own masters, and must serve as dogs for the Northern Ukrainian Savior General Association?
Shadi hinted to all the local Messianic generals in the country that although everyone was saddened by the death of Mukhtar, it was also an opportunity, an opportunity for the Savior Faction of Adus to take power into their own hands. We can take this opportunity to get rid of the control of the Savior Faction General Association and let Adus have its own Savior Faction.
Shadi's hint made a large number of local Savior faction soldiers jealous, especially those who had just emerged from the land of Adus. Those generals who were ostracized and suppressed by the airborne troops of the General Assembly were even more excited. Such people accounted for the majority of the Savior faction troops. All of them were eyeing the big cake left after Mukhtar's death and wanted to become the chief of the Adus Savior faction.
Of course, some generals of the Savior Party saw the problem. They were very skeptical of what Shadi said, and even suspected that Mukhtar's death was related to Shadi, because he did not accept the transfer order to Addis. Some of these generals used the medium in their hands to successfully summon the soul of Addis to say that Addis died in a thunderstorm. Mukhtar's relatives and friends learned the truth about the incident in the palace from their souls, and knew that Shadi was also involved in Mukhtar's death.
So, they were furious and contacted the Savior generals in other places, trying to expose the truth and unite them to resist Shadi. However, Shadi was prepared for this and directly turned the tables and identified these generals as members of the Savior General Assembly. They were accused by the Savior General Assembly of wanting to hinder the Adus people from having their own Savior Church, and they were directly labeled as traitors. The Savior armed forces in the Adus Revolutionary Army were confused by this mutual accusation.
Through various means such as winning over, dividing, and coaxing, after the death of Shadi Mukhtar, the huge savior faction in the Addis revolutionary army was effectively dismembered without bloodshed. Earlier, a secret telegram was being sent to the Holy Mountain by the Addis Chinese special envoy.
This secret telegram recorded the so-called "truth" about the major historical event that was later recorded as the "Ray Judgment Incident" of Adus.
