This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

Chapter 111: Chapter 103: At This Moment! Build a City!

Early that morning, the residents of Holy Work Town gathered in front of the makeshift stage.

Even though there were no performances today, and there wasn’t any announcement about giving out eggs.

But after the last three days of fermenting, people developed an inexplicable emotion towards this place.

They longed to gather here, meet and chat with those old friends they used to enjoy shows and plays with.

Even just nodding to each other would make them feel much more at ease.

Not coming felt empty somehow.

Moreover, it was rumored that today the Holy Daughter and the Holy Son would come to announce something very important.

Among the crowd, previous members of the New Church were also mingling.

Frankly speaking, the Pope of the New Church was completely baffled at this moment.

In just two or three days, before he could even react, the number of New Church believers skyrocketed to a terrifying level and even took over the entire Holy Work Town.

At this moment, the New Church had clearly risen to a second to none position within the Holy Light Faction.

The key is, from start to finish, nobody knew what happened.

Suddenly, this was the situation.

Upon arriving in the plaza, everyone he saw claimed to be a believer of the New Church.

If you talked about some New Church doctrine, they would instantly respond.

Although the understanding was shallow, it generally fitted.

Even some five or six-year-old children were playing while singing simple rhymes. On closer listening, weren’t these the slogans of the New Church?

At that moment, previous believers of the New Church felt like they were the fake members.

What exactly happened in less than three days?

As they were puzzled and perplexed, the crowd began looking towards the stage.

It turned out Lette had arrived with Flander, both now wearing the attire of the New Church.

At least, everyone’s uniforms were the same.

This might have been the only solace for the original New Church members.

But what puzzled them more was when did Lord Wright become a member of the New Church.

"Pope, so that illustrious Holy Sin Lord is from our sect!"

"Ah...mmm..."

The Pope of the New Church felt like dying at this moment, why did he feel like an absolute outsider in his sect?

"Everyone! Folks! Stay in your seats!"

Lette, holding a magic megaphone from who knows where, announced, "Today, along with the leader of the New Church, Apprentice Saintess, Holy Daughter Françoise, I solemnly bring you a piece of incredibly joyous news!"

"Wow! Pope! Since when did Flander become the Apprentice Saintess?"

"Wow! Pope! How did Flander become the leader of the New Church? And what about you?"

"Wow! Pope! Why do you look so bad?"

The Pope clutched his chest and squeezed out, "Shut up..."

On stage, Flander was extremely excited; she never imagined standing there, announcing such a historic piece of news.

At the same time, she noticed other old members of the New Church happily waving towards them from below.

Everyone was happy, but somehow, the Pope’s expression was odd.

"Flander, you announce it."

Lette smiled as he handed the documents to Flander, who took a deep breath after receiving them.

"We have obtained the clear authorization from the Holy Light Church to renovate and expand Holy Work Town into an auxiliary capital of Holy City, named Holy New City!

This signifies the rebirth of Holy Work Town and recognizes the outstanding contributions and extraordinary status of our Holy Light New Sect!

My dear residents of Holy Work Town, future citizens of Holy New City! Eternal believers of the New Church!

Please, at this moment, cheer heartily!"

After Flander announced the news, the entire venue fell into a mysterious silence.

Everyone’s expressions conveyed a sense of disbelief.

Lette realized the awkward atmosphere wasn’t improving and coughed twice.

"Well, she is telling the truth. From today, you are officially citizens of Holy New City."

Before his words were finished, someone suddenly began crying out uncontrollably, and soon more and more people joined in, causing the entire venue to plunge into chaos with wild screams.

The noise was so loud that even the Holy City beyond the city walls could hear it clearly. Lette had to set up a sound barrier to protect his ears.

The scene, instead of cheers, felt more like an extreme emotional release.

And this venting lasted for about half an hour before everyone gradually calmed down.

Seeing the exhausted crowd, Lette smiled.

He raised his hand and a massive Holy Light Blessing descended, bathing everyone present in the healing light.

Once everyone had almost recovered, he lifted the megaphone again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, stay in your places.

Yes, from now on, Holy Work Town will become Holy New City.

And you will transition from unrecognized stayers into rightful residents.

Staying here is now reasonable, legal, and rightful.

You’re no longer those who linger but rather neighbors right next door in Holy New City.

But I also invite everyone to look around.

Although we have become Holy New City, we are still far from being a qualified Holy New City.

We are city residents, so we must do our utmost to construct Holy New City well!

Holy New City is my home, and its civilized development depends on everyone!

So today, I am here to list a series of public construction projects.

All families must send people to participate! Each member will be recorded.

If, in the end, someone doesn’t have enough work points, then sorry, we cannot issue you a resident ID of Holy New City.

Yes, you must contribute to this city to qualify as a resident of this city.

Of course, rest assured, we have hired a professional construction team to handle the main work of city building.

What we assign you are low-tech, low-exertion tasks.

Our city needs to be built by us!

This is the basic quality of the citizens of Holy New City!

Holy New People! Holy New Soul! Holy New City is a place of elites!

Work hard! Push forward! Happiness is in your hands!"

The crowd below also shouted loudly: "Holy New People! Holy New Soul! Holy New City is a place of elites! Work hard! Push forward! Happiness is in your hands!"

Backstage, Emily rubbed her ears, thinking how familiar this phrase sounded.

Ah! Wasn’t that what the prisoners in her dungeon shouted?

This guy, really! One trick to eat everywhere!

With a wave of Lette’s hand, several Holy Crows composed of Light Elements circled the air carrying packages, which then fell like snowflakes from the packages.

The crowd caught them and, upon looking, their hearts were filled with admiration.

On the flyers, facilities closely related to people’s livelihood like water cleaning workshops, city resident leisure areas, road optimization, and garbage plants were listed first.

Constructions like city gates and walls followed closely behind.

The construction of the New Church’s grand cathedral was placed last.

Most importantly, Lette wrote this line on these flyers.

[If the believers’ public welfare facilities are not entirely completed, the New Church’s cathedral will not begin construction!]

This selfless attitude greatly moved the residents of Holy New City.

They sincerely felt fortunate to have joined a sect genuinely leading them towards better lives!

With such a sect resident in Holy New City, their lives would only become more prosperous!

What? Every family member needs to be registered?

Seeking it eagerly, what if we get left out?

What? Every public labor participant needs verification.

Absolutely support it, otherwise, our contributions go to those who laze around, what then?

What? Those unwilling to contribute to the collective should be expelled.

That’s wonderful! We don’t want those who spoil a beautiful city for us.

The public didn’t find these stipulations problematic, but the cultists and Dark Race members hidden within were going crazy.

Each one seemed to target them specifically.

Once Holy New City starts construction, they would have nowhere to hide.

There’s no need for Church Court people to capture them; their neighbors could report them.

In less than four days, their hiding haven no longer had a place for survival.

If they don’t find a way to leave quickly, they would soon be discovered for not fitting in with the surrounding populace.

At that time, it wouldn’t be easy to muddle through.

That suffocating feeling of nowhere to escape was overwhelming.

"Today, I have specially invited two guests, namely Mr. Grandet, president of the merchants guild of Holy City Business Street, and Mr. Idelos, acting chair of the Holy Temple Council, to talk about the development prospects of Holy New City!

Let’s welcome them with applause!"

Successfully bringing a wave of applause, Lette led Flander off the stage, and Grandet along with Idelos took to the stage from the entry door to commence their speeches.

The actual content of their speeches was also instructed by Lette.

Grandet mainly talked about the protection of laborers’ rights in the business street, salary improvements, and new business startup opportunities.

Idelos talked about supporting Holy New City’s development and maintaining subsequent related rights.

After stepping down from the stage, Lette patted Taylor, who was waiting backstage.

After the above two finished speaking, he would be the third to take the stage to introduce the future security and management outlook of Holy New City and propose forming a self-governance militia.

This way, Holy New City would become a new power hub, entirely isolated from the power holders in Holy City.

Looking at the flourishing New Church, Lette revealed a confident smile.

"Tonight, we’ll close the net."
