The Pathway Of Wisdom-Chapter 62: An organization built with ’Tactics’.

After everyone got a copy, Alex spoke out loud,

"Our land and our people are in great peril right now, just like you all were!"

"The people who are leading our land want us all to suffer and have continued to do cruel things to us!"

"This place itself serves as a symbol of their cruelty!"

"They used this place to torment poor souls for their pleasure and entertainment! We can’t let such people continue to rule us!"

Alex’s words rang loud and clear in everyone’s ears.

All of them were people who had suffered a lot in the past; although they hadn’t suffered as much as ’Paul,’ they were not too far behind either.

"All of our brethren who are unaware and are living in this land are in danger right now!"

"We can’t let the fake rulers keep tormenting poor civilians! We will have to rise up and fight back against this fake regime of control and intimidation!"

"Read all the teachings of the god of wisdom and learn what true freedom means!"

"The ’Path’ forward will become clear on its own!"

Alex continuously brainwashed everyone with his words for a while before sending them off with their respective sheets of paper.

There were several rooms in this place, and everyone was assigned a room for their own personal usage.

Paul and the other new recruits were also assigned rooms before they were sent off.

After a while only Alex, Jake, and Ethan were left standing in the open area.

Once everyone was gone, Ethan hesitated a bit before asking,

"Lord Saint... is it really okay for us to do this though?... Count Foley has never had any conflict with our church... us attacking him like this might not be a good idea..."

Hearing Ethan’s hesitant words, Alex shook his head and replied in a calm voice,

"You are considering the situation by the wrong perspective, little Ethan..."

"Count Foley has actually attacked us with a tremendous fatal attack; it’s just that it’s not a physical type of attack..."

At Alex’s words, both Ethan and Jake were confused and seeing their confusion, Alex explained in his usual arrogant tone,

"He’s hell-bent on making his older son a paladin of the church of the goddess of war and combat, which is a clear betrayal towards the god of wisdom!"

"All of the ancestors of the Ilma family and even the founders of the Ilma county were once firm believers of the god of wisdom..."

"He has abandoned the faith of the god of wisdom that his ancestors all believed in, which is a great blasphemy!"

Alex knew that Jake and Ethan both were righteous people and wouldn’t agree to things that were blatantly wrong and openly evil.

But Alex was no idiot; he was able to easily fabricate lies and complicate and twist the truth of the situation so much that most people will end up believing his words without questioning them.

"Moreover, by making his son a paladin of another church, he’s clearly creating an opportunity to sabotage the church of the god of wisdom..."

"In fact, I believe that in the past years, the main reason for such a drastic decline in the numbers of believers of the god of wisdom is also because he’s been secretly plotting and reducing our benevolent god’s influence!"

Alex shook his head and showed a look of regret on his face.

"Although I also don’t want to do this to him, we are devoted to our benevolent god and can’t let his faith get destroyed by a mere count!"

"We must not let him tarnish the name of our benevolent god no matter what!"

"If his son becomes the paladin of the goddess of war and combat and then becomes the lord of this city, our church will cease to exist!"

"Everyone will forget the name of our benevolent god! And we will be the sinners who let this all happen!"

Alex looked at Ethan and Jake before asking,

"Do you want to be the sinners who let our benevolent god’s faith die just because you were afraid of taking a strong stance?"

"What will you say to our benevolent god after you ascend to his kingdom after death? Will you be able to stand before him without feeling ashamed?"

Hearing those questions made Ethan and Jake feel ashamed for even doubting Alex once!

"Forgive me, Lord Saint, I am not as farsighted as you so I couldn’t understand your plans..."

Ethan bowed his head slightly in apology and didn’t ask any more questions.

What he didn’t know was that Alex was purposely making and twisting things in such a way!

This was a simple mental manipulation tactic!

Moreover, even the people chosen to recruit in the organization were actually hand-picked!

Alex had cooperated with Zeil and asked him to track down people in the city who were either drowning in immense debt or were facing immense problems in life in general!

In fact, the knights and soldiers who took over Paul’s farmland were Zeil’s thugs that were ordered specifically to make Paul’s already difficult life more difficult!

Paul was just one of the people that Alex had manipulated and recruited into his organization in the same way!

Using the same method of breaking people apart from the inside out and then giving a helping hand in times of need was a tactic that Alex used with Zeil’s cooperation to recruit diehard and loyal members for the organization.

They all thought that Alex was their messiah, their great hero who cared a lot about them, but in fact Alex was using them like pawns and increasing the numbers of his organization.

Zeil had no such subordinates that could lead the organization, and he himself couldn’t get out of constant surveillance, so he was incapable of being the leader of this organization.

Thus, Alex decided to do it himself.

’Well, the food and all the expenses are being taken care of by Zeil so I don’t mind working a little bit extra on my end...’

Gathering all these people underground was no simple task; there needed to be food, clothes, furniture, and all the other necessary stuff.

Zeil had provided the funding for the organization and all of that, while Alex was personally leading it all!

Deceit, fraud, lies, and tricks—all were used for the hidden organization ’Revenant’ to come into existence!
