Chapter 1806 Serving the People, Purging Evil
- To Marcus Crawley, since they walked the righteous path, everything they did had to be proper. They needed a banner to rally behind. If they moved without a just cause, that’d be a damn tragedy. Nobody wanted that. So the best move? Find a solid reason. Their reason: purge evil for the people. Act on heaven’s behalf.
- Sure, they were going to wipe out those evil groups because they were short on cash. But that reason could never see the light of day. If they admitted that out loud, people would think they were small-time thugs who didn’t deserve a seat at the table. That’d be a mess, and no one wanted to end up like that.
- So they had to lock down a good reason. And that reason was simple: act for heaven, cut down the wicked, serve the people. Once they raised those two banners, nobody could really argue. That’s how this world works. Whoever stands on the moral high ground wins. They were already strong as hell, but if no one knew it, what a waste. With Marcus Crawley on the scene, that was going to change.
