Chapter 662: Demolition (Part 2)
If we follow the young lady's displacement scheme.
Hmm, the Lord of Japan is still the Divine Witch of the Amaterasu Shrine. The shrine, having accumulated prestige among the Japanese witches over the years, would make it easier to convince the masses.
Acting in the name of the Divine Witch could also come with the slogan of purging traitors and firmly hold the moral high ground.
And, although the displacement action sounds absurd, when you think about it, it seems pretty effective.
For example, if they were to draw the character for "demolish" on the Heaven's Guard Pavilion, what would the Chinese Clan do?
The Chinese Clan take Heaven's Guard Pavilion as their center. If even their main base were to be demolished, wouldn't they lose face?
But to refuse the displacement would mean defying the Divine Witch Decree, and the Witch Lord has unlimited rights over her territory. Strictly speaking, defying the Divine Witch Decree counts as rebellion, and then they'd be labeled traitors eligible for eradication.
With that demolition character in place, those Chinese Clan witches might find it hard to respond.
.......
After thinking for a moment, Sophia had to admit the forced demolition directive might actually make for a declaration.
And Dorothy could sense her roommate's complex expression, so she spoke up.
"Sophia, I'm serious this time, not fooling around. We need to analyze specific issues specifically, start from reality, and focus on the main contradiction of the issue."
"The primary system in the Witch World is actually the feudal lord system, and the main contradiction of the lord system is the land conflict between lords and civilians."
"And when it comes to land conflict, my character is unbeatable."
The homebody witch pointed at the eye-catching big red "demolish" character on the document and began to eloquently speak.
Even within the same lord system, there are disparities. Other witch territories have at least entered a capital era dominated by employment relations, but this stubborn Japan remains conservative in the feudal era.
What era is this? How can we still have thoughts like the Chinese Clan Patriarch's word is law? That's not okay.
The Chinese Clan witches currently occupy most of the land and resources on Japan, firmly controlling the means of production. This forms the foundation of the privileged class. To break this class division based on the land system, the existing land resources must be redistributed.
And trying to reclaim land from those Chinese Clans isn't easy; it requires strong force, and directly robbing it would lose the moral high ground.
But that's when the benefits of the lord system become apparent; the Witch Lord has absolute control over her witch territory.
Of course, this statement is mostly just talk on regular days. After all, if all benefits went to the lord, the followers under her would be dissatisfied. The leader can't be the only one enjoying the good life while her sisters who helped conquer the world still starve.
Therefore, in reality, the Witch Lord gradually entrusts the management rights of her territory to her trusted lieutenants to form an unyielding alliance of interests.
The formation of the Chinese Clan on Japan is the same.
The privileges of the Chinese Clan ancestors stem from the gifts of the Three Nobles. But over time, with the passing of Susanoo and Tsukuyomi and the weakening of Amaterasu, an uprising against the hierarchy was finally formed.
Former house slaves now desire to devour their masters.
To change Japan's current state, the main priority is to expel those master-devouring renegades.
What better way to evict people than displacement? Just demolish.
Of course, displacement requires strong means. Even Amaterasu Shrine wanted to do it in the past, they lacked the capacity. But now it's fine; specialized matters can be left to professionals.
Witch's Home, as a professional construction guild, is skilled in displacement. Just get Miss Divine Witch to sign the displacement order, and they'll handle the rest.
As long as Witch's Home holds Miss Divine Witch's displacement order, they'll have the moral high ground. This isn't unauthorized demolition; we've got all the paperwork. If you have opinions, please appeal to Amaterasu Shrine.
The homebody witch is quite interested to see if those master-devouring dogs dare come to the Shrine to appeal to Miss Divine Witch.
Heh, if it were the once-weak Amaterasu Life Kikyo, it might have been tricky. But the now-energized Miss Divine Witch is full of power.
The former ruler of Takamagahara, who dominated Japan with absolute force, has returned. If the traitorous renegades still refuse to realize... well, good luck.
The homebody witch detailed her thoughts, and the pure white witch listened intently, finally nodding.
"Alright, young lady, I understand. I'll arrange the upcoming actions."
Sophia said.
"Mm-hmm, I trust you with the work."
The homebody witch nodded with happiness.
So, the matter was settled.
.....
Three days later, Japanese Guard Bureau.....
"Director, there's big trouble, hurry to the Heaven's Guard Pavilion, it's about to be demolished."
Konoe Maki was handling official duties in her office when the door suddenly opened, and someone rushed in, shouting this.
Seeing the newcomer, the director frowned.
"Makoto, what kind of rash behavior is this?"
Konoe Maki reprimanded her barging-in sister.
However, she was puzzled; her sister is usually sensible and composed, so why is she so out of sorts today?
Heaven's Guard Pavilion? What happened to it? That place is fine, how could it be demolished?
The director thought this, but instinctively looked out the window.
The Guard Bureau isn't far from Heaven's Guard Pavilion; from the director's office, one can clearly see the pavilion's majestic structure.
Except...
Konoe Maki was stunned upon seeing it, her eyes widening in disbelief.
The grand Japanese-style castle had been surrounded by a barrier tape, and a giant barrier screen was constructed around the pavilion, with a prominent circle on the screen containing a large "demolish" character.
"Wow, who did this? Well done!"
The guard director was somewhat dumbfounded and couldn't help but say.
"Sister?"
The young policewoman next to her heard her sister's involuntary words and widened her eyes in disbelief.
After all, the Konoe Family's name reveals their duty: they are the guardians of the royal family, and protecting the royalty's safety has always been their family responsibility.
Such rebellious thoughts, sister, you're disgracing the family.
Makoto thought.
But her sister has always been the family's pride; she couldn't possibly do anything truly disgraceful. I must have misheard.
The young policewoman doubted herself.
The director realized she misspoke in front of her straightforward sister. Covering her mouth, she quickly regained her authority.
"Makoto, quickly gather the team; it's time to act."
Though Konoe Maki internally hoped the castle would be demolished, she couldn't openly express it yet; their preparations were incomplete, not the time to reveal their cards.
.....Guard on the way....
